O'Reilly Incensed By Rainbow White House Display After Gay Marriage Ruling

[DonViejo]

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly was taken aback by the Obama administration's decision to light the White House in rainbow colors after the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry.

"I was a bit surprised to see the White House doing a victory lap using actual White House property on Friday," O'Reilly said on Monday night. "The people’s house was illuminated in rainbow colors to celebrate the gay marriage decision. What about all the Americans who believe that a redefinition of marriage is not the job of the Supreme Court?"

O'Reilly said President Obama "did an 'in your face' to traditional Americans" with the White House display.

The Fox host also blasted comedian Stephen Colbert for mocking Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent in the gay marriage ruling. O'Reilly said Colbert "might want to think about alienating traditional Americans to the extent he has — it could be very bad for business."

1. O'Reilly really needs to go get a life! n/t

2. 60+% of Americans support gay marriage according to the polling.

So that light display was indeed in line with the wishes of 'the American people'. Tough luck for the 40% of holdouts on the wrong side of history.

3. He needs something to rage against and keep his faithful few enraged

He is nothing but an asshole talking head.

4. O'Reilly said Colbert "might want to think about alienating traditional Americans

Right, Bill O, because Colbert is really concerned about what your listeners think.

5. People upset with Colbert should watch Kimmel who once said...

That he's not gettin married again until everyone can marry.

6. I wish he'd just admit that his overused phrase "traditional Americans" can simply

be shortened to "bigots" for the sake of saving space.

8. Heh. :)

7. The White House also does extensive Christmas decorations each year,

and an Easter egg party. "What about all the Americans who..." don't celebrate those holidays, or don't believe they belong in the White House? Heck, what about a certain "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" event that a presidency staged on the taxpayer dime? Logically speaking, if you're going to draw a line at what the president should or shouldn't visibly celebrate, rainbow light displays are an odd place to do so.

O'Reilly's use of the phrase "traditional Americans" in this context is also an eyebrow-raiser, though hardly surprising from him.

9. So says the man who used to play w/himself w/a "buzz toy" up his butt ....

... as he talked dirty to a scared subordinate on the phone.

11. What "traditional Americans" would those be?

The Confederate-flag-waving, bigoted, angry, hateful, ignorant bunch of losers that watch FAUX "News"? They represent a "tradition" that we're well rid of.

12. How about if he took a "victory lap" on an aircraft carrier ?

I know I know, this actually WAS a victory.
