Awesome, awesome dialogue. This guy basically puts O'Reilly in a trash can and sets him on fire.

Even I know that the Current is a dirty liberal rag.

Okay, now that I got that out of the way on behalf of other posters, great clip. Hopefully people will watch it and take it to heart. Pundits and politicians on both sides of isle are responsible for the information distortion that leads to the political, xenophobic environment we live in today. Time for some true statesmen to step up and help guide the heard through the sea of bullshit.

Ratigan is close, and anybody trashing bully O'Reilly simply can't be wrong, but Wahabism is extremism hiding behind Allah (just like Phelps and ITN hide behind Christ), but Wahabism has US/UK as targets because:

"They hate us for our occupations"

In 2004, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld commissioned a task force to study what causes Terrorism, and it concluded that "Muslims do not 'hate our freedom,' but rather, they hate our policies": specifically, "American direct intervention in the Muslim world" through our "one sided support in favor of Israel"; support for Islamic tyrannies in places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia; and, most of all, "the American occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan"

Pape. . . will present findings on Capitol Hill Tuesday that argue that the majority of suicide terrorism around the world since 1980 has had a common cause: military occupation.

"We have lots of evidence now that when you put the foreign military presence in, it triggers suicide terrorism campaigns, ... and that when the foreign forces leave, it takes away almost 100% of the terrorist campaign,"

So the ignorant American fucks who ask "why do they hate us?" never get or give the right answer, even if they're a little bit smart and know the right answer.

btw, the same bigoted, nativist, chauvinist Islamophobes who whine and scream about Muslims in USA and illegal aliens invading and occupying America refuse to see the that every country has bigoted, nativist, chauvinist Americanophobes because America is occupying and defacing their countries AND murdering their co-religionists by 100s of 1000s.

In the American bigots' perverted Golden Rule of Exceptionalism: "America does unto others as others better not do unto America"

And USA selling $60B to SA (enriching the MIC) while occupying SA's "sacred" ground and giving 2 more $B to PK while slaughtering Pakis with drones ain't gonna make them love us, and $Bs of weapons and $$ end up being used against USA.
