1. O'Lielly IS a leader in the Cult of Blame

I see it all clearly now; Larry Craig sitting in stall of airport washroom reading Harry Potter... :think:

3. How do these people like O'Rielly cope

with real gay Head teachers?

My headmaster in Middle School was gay, we didn't know it at the time, our parents did and the school was well subscribed. Like Dumbledore he didn't fall into an obvious stereotype, in fact he was a tough head master, fair but kids that misbehaved feared him. I like the idea that Dumbledore was gay but in a way that the kids did not know because that was how it was in reality in my school. It wasn't hidden out of shame, it was just unnecessary for us to know, it was a mixed school. I only realised he was gay after I had left school and saw him with his boyfriend and then realised there was a reason why he looked like Freddie Mercury. I am sure it was the same with other kids in that school, it was a fact of his life but never an issue.
And guess what no child became gay because we had a gay head teacher, either. Does O'Rielly really think that young Harry Potter readers will become gay because Dumbledore is?
I think that many of the Conservatives that read the books missed the themes of tolerance, prejudice and failed to see themselves in the Slytherins and Dolores Umbridge.

4. actually the appalling thing was

that his objection was not that it might "turn" people, but that it promoted tolerance!


according to orally, tolerance of gays is bad. Except, as KO pointed out, when it is orally trying to get two women to "perform" for him. That is cool.

I guess that's why orally thinks SF should be abandoned to terrorists - not just because it includes gays, but because the rest of the people there don't persecute them. S KO said, the guy has truly lost it. He and limbo are both bonkers.

5. Pretty bad when even Dennis Miller is uncomfortable with Bile O'Reilly

9. This link is on the Obermann page... Really clever rendition of Dumbledore

(and Hogwarts staff and students) singing "I'm Super"... The artist was inspired by learning that Dumbledore is/was gay. (the animation is all done on Windows Paint. I'm impressed!)

10. And I blame O'Reilly for a drop in loofah sales.
