O'Reilly proclaims he's a dope in his own words. Here is the whole article.

O'Reilly begins with.....

Many Americans feel they absolutely know what the Founding Fathers had in mind. That's dopey. We can certainly have an opinion but you can never know.

later he goes on to prove himself a dope.......

So it's a mess. The Founding Fathers would never have supported Roe versus Wade but legal abortion is the law of the land. There are many other examples.

At least he knows himself.

1. O'Reilly doesn't understand basic science like how the moon causes tides ...

Colbert Discovers Bill O'Reilly's Theology: 'There Must Be A God Because I Don't Know How Things Work' (VIDEO)
First Posted: 01- 7-11 01:19 PM | Updated: 01- 7-11 01:19 PM

During a debate with the president of The American Atheist Association David Silverman, O'Reilly said the proof that God is real lies in the tides, and assured Silverman that "you can't explain that."

Colbert, happy that O'Reilly had finally done what philosophers have been trying to do for years, knew this wasn't the first time he had proved the existence of God. He showed a slew of clips where O'Reilly offers several versions the same argument: "The sun comes up, the sun goes down. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. There's never a miscommunication."

Naturally, Colbert completely understood O'Reilly's theory:

"Like all great theologies, Bill's can be boiled down to one sentence: There must be a god, because I don't know how things work."

At this point, Colbert was interrupted by deGrasse Tyson walking onto the set. The astrophysicist assured Colbert that it is the moon that controls the tides, but that just ended up convincing Colbert that the moon is God.

3. Actually, the Catholic Church didn't feel that life began until the quickening.

4. His own admission is redundant....Very few have ever doubted it.
and to some extent, it is an insult to dopes.
