During a discussion about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's upcoming Boston College (BC) commencement address on the May 5 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly invoked the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to dismiss author and BC professor Charles Derber's objection to awarding Rice an honorary degree at its commencement. Derber had expressed concern that the honorary diploma could be seen as endorsing Rice for being "an architect of U.S. foreign policy and the Iraq war," which Derber said is "seen widely by the theologians on our campus, by many of our faculty, and by the Jesuit and Catholic community as in violation of the fundamental values we hold dear." O'Reilly responded that "BC and the Jesuits and everybody else ought to wise up and wise up fast" because "there are 3,000 people who can't go to your commencement this spring." Asking Derber if he "know(s) why" they can't attend, O'Reilly answered his own question: "(T)hey're dead."

1. O'Lielly is a moron, and that is what he behaves like.

2. well

he's right dead people generally don't go to commencement. But aren't they partly dead because Rice failed to do anything about the pre 911 warnings. Just seems like more reason not to give her a damn thing. Thanks for reminding us Bill.

5. They aren't partly dead. Thay are completely dead

because of incompetence by rice and the other worthless fuckers.

6. Right, they are dead because she and Bushco ignored the warnings.

They left us wide open to a predicted attack, just as they abandoned the Louisiana and Mississippi coast line to the post Katrina chaos. The responsibility rests squarely on their worthless shoulders.

3. He should be given a 'dumbest thing ever said' award.

4. I could never go on O'Reilly's show...

There would have been a nanosecond where my brain would have had to make the following choice:

Try to reason with Falafel-brain... (the sane, rational response)
...or...
just punch him in the nose and tell him to fuck off? (the gratifying and maaaybe just slightly justified reposne)

Cripes, the man's a stain on humanity.

Edited for clarity.

7. And you helped get them killed, Billyboy, with your cheerleading ...

And lies for the administration. So go fuck yourself, you fascist thug.

8. Still linking 9/11 with their phony war. That's what they have to do to

hold on to the knuckle dragger's vote.
