Check it out: Bill O'Reilly Book Burned By Soldiers In Afghanistan


A group of soldiers recently burned a box of Bill O'Reilly's books that had been sent to them in Afghanistan.

An anonymous soldier going by the name of Everqueer posted pictures of the burning on their Tumblr page. The book in question was "Pinheads and Patriots," which O'Reilly has sent to Afghanistan through a charity group.

"Some jerk sent us two boxes of this awful book (SPOILER ALERT: George Washington - Patriot; George Soros - Pinhead) instead of anything soldiers at a remote outpost in Afghanistan might need, like, say, food or soap," the soldier said. "Just burned the whole lot of them on my Commander's orders."

1. For decades, I have been against book burning, but
I find myself willing to make an exception.

2. They should
have printed it on different paper. It could have been used as toilet paper.

10. Reminds me of the character in the Henry Miller novel who wiped his ass...
with a page from the dictionary after he memorized all the words.

12. Then there was Jan Cremer
He would cut out pictures of politicians and celebrities from newspapers for that purpose.

4. I approve!
Who's the dumbass who thought that was a good idea to send to the troops?

On top of Billo's dumbfuckery in the book, we're talking about heavy boxes of books that had to get loaded on convoys, driven through dangerous territory risking Taliban ambush, in trucks that could have better been used to send baby-wipes, care packages, munchies, letters from home...

6. The bitch of karma strikes!
O'Whorely has supported many book burnings in his past.

13. That's a Republican's idea of charity.
He can take a charitable deduction for sending garbage, I mean donating to the troops.
