Yeah, BFD. So O'Riely pissed off the cackling old birds on The View by equating Islam with terrorism. Well, he's actually right, but not for the reasons anyone thinks. Religion, especially religious fundamentalism, begets violence/terrorism.

O'rielly at it again? He still doesn't realize theres a difference between muslims and radical zealots. I can't even imagine him going up against the View-crew posse. That would be pretty funny I might have to youtube it.

"Some of you may have heard a few popcorn farts re: our sites being threatened by hackers," wrote KISS bassist Gene Simmons on his website yesterday, responding to a DDoS attack that took down GeneSimmons.com earlier this week.
The attack was part of Operation Payback, a campaign that over the past few weeks has been targeting organizations who legislate and litigate in support of copyright laws. Loosely organized by Anonymous, a group of Internet "vigilantes" has launched a series of denial-of-service attacks against the likes of the MPAA, the RIAA, the UK Intellectual Property Office, as well as against the KISS bassman.
A word from our sponsor:
The Open Mobile Summit – Almost sold out! The only event where you can enjoy intimate networking with Dan Hesse CEO Sprint, Anthony Melone CTO Verizon Wireless plus top execs from AT&T, Yahoo!, Motorola, Google, Disney, Smule, Booyah, Loopt, HTC, Samsung and more. “This is THE event in mobile right now”. Act now – limited places remain.

The direct action campaign has effectively shut down sites that have been most vocal (and litigious) about their pro-copyright and anti-piracy stances. It has also targeted law offices that have been deemed to be part of a what TorrentFreak has called "pay-up-or-else" schemes, threats of legal action aimed at alleged file-sharers. Anonymous's DDoS attacks have targeted well over a dozen sites over the past few weeks.
According to TorrentFreak, the attacks against Gene Simmons were controversial among those associated with Anonymous, some arguing that it's better to target the legal mechanisms of the film and music industry, rather than artist themselves. But Simmons has painted a fairly large target on himself (or on his site, at least), by speaking out in recent weeks against file-sharing, arguing that the music industry should be suing more people: "Make sure your brand is protected, be litigious, sue anybody - take their homes, their cars, Don't let anybody cross that line."
Simmons's site is down at the time of publishing (Update: as of Monday morning, the website now redirects to the BitTorrent site Pirate Bay), but Slyck posted a copy of the response to the DDoS attack that was posted there yesterday:
Some of you may have heard a few popcorn farts re: our sites being threatened by hackers.
Our legal team and the FBI have been on the case and we have found a few, shall we say "adventurous" young people, who feel they are above the law.
And, as stated in my MIPCOM speech, we will sue their pants off.
First, they will be punished.
Second, they might find their little butts in jail, right next to someone who's been there for years and is looking for a new girl friend.
We will soon be printing their names and pictures.
We will find you.
You cannot hide.
Stay tuned
As Slyck notes, the ability to identify those who are participating in a distributed denial-of-service attack would be pretty challenging, if not impossible. But Simmons's threats and attitude (not to mention his lack of understanding of "hackers") echoes his misunderstanding that everyone who participates in peer-to-peer file-sharing is a criminal who needs to have their pants sued off or end up in jail.
Better round up the KISS Army, Gene. This battle could be brutal.
Fuck what with old greedy rockers hating downloading?

I actually caught the Shill O'Reilly and the Cackling Cunt Circus show live randomly why flipping through channels whilst silently hoping that my last beer would help me get to sleep.
Fuck O'Reilly AND fuck The View. Both are divisive agents in perpetuating the splitting of all people into the distracting categories of class, race, and religion all while segmenting caught unaware Americans into two camps of either a love of mystical gods or a love of the power of a mystical State, or both. It's insidious nonsense.
Spot on post.

Care to point out non-isolated incidents of terrorism from religions not citing the Koran as the supreme book, or to define "religious fundamentalism"?
These are the kinds of vague terms and broad statements that warrent definition and explanation(imo).

The Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, and the Israeli occupation of Palestine are a few examples of violence and/or terrorism.
Merriam Webster defines fundamentalism as: "a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles". While this may or may not accurately describe killing people in the name of your god, it does describe adherence to the idea that your interpretation of scripture is right and everyone else is wrong and thus must be destroyed.

What's hilarious is the smug look on her face when she thinks the audience is in support of her in that "oh you just got him good" way, when really they're dumbfounded by what she said. Greatest troll ever.

I think the largest danger of the Abrahamic religions lies in having highly revered literature that contains verses that can be easily used to justify terrible deeds. I haven't heard of any terrorist movements citing pieces of the Mahabharata. It could be because it's fucking long and written in Sanskrit.

How, by showing (accidentally) that the dictionary definition of fundamentalism doesn't exactly sync up with the motivation behind religious terrorism? Maybe I did. I never said I was smart.

Sorry to disappoint.
Wow, in that video O'Donnell shows not only is she ignorant of constitutional law, but elementary level science and social studies. I'm not worried about her winning a seat, rather I am worried that some people take her seriously and see her as fit to lead and work in government.

Here's a joke I just wrote. It's still a work in progress. Bear with me.
What do you call a Christine O'Donnell yeast infection?
God's nostalgic love juice for when original sin was a crime.
(positive and negative feedback welcomed)
and just for kicks, this is a variation on a popular one:
What do you call a Rosie O'Donnell yeast infection?
Justice. So that she also knows what it's like to live with an irritating cunt once in a while.
