Girl Scouts and Homosexual Overtones: The Worst of Bill O’Reilly

[DonViejo]

The Fox News scoundrel is at it again, this time going after the Girl Scouts for ties to a gay punk band. From Oprah to the first lady, the talking head’s most outrageous outbursts.

In a comment that surprised no one, Fox News blabber Bill O’Reilly recently called out the Girl Scouts for hiring a spokesman whose nighttime gig was—apparently—fronting a gay punk band. Never mind that he has since been replaced by an acceptable-to-O’Reilly heterosexual spokeswoman, Kelly Parisi, who had the great misfortune of being on the receiving end of a classic Bill O’Reilly interrogation.

“When I saw that you guys hired—paid—a guy in a band with homosexual overtones, I’m going, ‘Is that a good choice for the Girl Scouts?’” he asked, introducing countless geriatric Fox News viewers to the obscure-but-apparently pernicious “homocore” music genre. Cue the clickbait headlines! “O’Reilly Is Worried About ‘Homosexual Overtones in the Girl Scouts”; “Bill O’Reilly Questions ‘Homosexual Overtones’ of Girl Scouts Spokesperson.”

Yes, Bill O’Reilly courted controversy for the umpteenth time because, as he admitted during a recent appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show, “I’m obnoxious. That’s what I do, it’s part of my charm.” Perhaps.
