O’Reilly admits that ‘tolerance’ of gays bothers him.
Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that on the 10/23 edition of his Fox News show, Bill O’Reilly accused Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling of being a “provocateur” for “the gay agenda” of “indoctrination” after she outed one of her main characters. O’Reilly continued his broadside against Rowling on his show last night, saying the real problem is that she is teaching “tolerance” and “parity for homosexuals with heterosexuals”:
O’REILLY: Here’s - you can talk about this on your radio show tomorrow. There are millions of Americans who feel that the media and the educational system is trying to indoctrinate their children to a certain way of life, and that includes parity for homosexuals with heterosexuals.And that’s what this Rowling thing is all about, because she sells so many books. So many kids read it, that she comes out and says, “Oh, Dumbledore is gay, and that’s great.” And this - it’s another in the indoctrination thing. That’s what the belief system is among some Americans.MILLER: I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think you can indoctrinate a kid into being gay. You might indoctrinate him into trying it once and him going, “I guess I’m not gay.”

O’REILLY: No, but tolerance. It’s - you know, he’s not going to be gay, but it’s tolerance of it.
Media Matters has the video.

The very next words out of Millers mouth were ‘I’m good with that’, BTW

What does O’Reilly prefer to tolerance, the Final Solution?
O’Reilly is a despicable scumbag, yet the scary part is there are millions of people (sheeple) in this country nodding to his every word, all while they cut checks to the 700 Club.

Oh, oh. Bill O has had enough of this tolerance crap. Perhaps they’ll name a concentration camp after him.

Tolerance of something = indoctrination??? Not in my world. Why is it bad to tolerate behavior that you don’t personally participate in? Mind you, O’Reilly isn’t tolerant of much outside of his little realm so this comes as no surprise.

As a brief followup, just take a look at the Republican presidential field. they really should hold their debates at the Ringling Brothers Clown School in Florida. A whole stage sharing a single small, unevolved brain. Cracks me right up.

The Republicans are literally fighting for the right to hate and commit hate crimes against people who they consider different. It really is a disgusting spectacle. Bigotry is not a family value.
