Bill O’Reilly correctly points out that Arizona’s new law, which permits police to interrogate anybody they suspect of being undocumented, will result in racial profiling. McCain says he’ll be “very sorry if some of that happens,” but “it’s the people whose homes and property are being violated. It’s the drive-by that — the drivers of cars with illegals in it …

Bill O’Reilly says that he and “other white journalists” shy away from commenting on black issues because no matter what they say, their words are twisted to make them look racist. O’Reilly references his infamous accounting at having eaten at the legendary Sylvia’s in Harlem, after which he marveled that folks were actually well-dressed and well-behaved. He said at the …

After a judge ruled that the father of a dead soldier must pay Westboro Baptist Church their court costs for defending themselves against his suit for picketing his son’s funeral, Bill O’Reilly has announced that he would personally pay the judgment. O’Reilly: “I will pay Mr. Snyder’s obligation. I am not going to let this injustice stand.”

Fox contributor Father Jonathan Morris defends the expulsion of kids from a Catholic school because their parents are gay. Bill O’Reilly, perhaps surprisingly, attacks Morris for the Catholic Church’s selective punishment of “sin.” BTW, Morris sets my gaydar ping-diddly-inging.

Great stuff as Stewart and O’Reilly take shots at each other and each other’s networks.

Faded novelty song hitmaker Ray Stevens joins Bill O’Reilly to complain that it’s getting harder to get away with mocking Arabs. After playing a bit of his latest wingnut video, Stevens tells O’Reilly that he’s “to the right of Attila The Hun” politically. They go on to discuss Stevens’ 60’s hit Ahab The Arab, which I’m embarrassed to say I …

In an editorial published yesterday, the Los Angeles Times strongly condemned the anti-gay Manhattan Declaration, calling it “irresponsible and dangerous” and warning that the document may embolden anti-abortion terrorists. The impression left is that the legal environment in which churches must operate is reminiscent of the Roman Empire that threw Christians to the lions. Never mind that advocates of same-sex …

Last night Truth Wins Out founder Wayne Besen appeared on the O’Reilly Factor to discuss President Obama’s speech at the HRC. Besen on the HRC picket: “It’s important for us to be inside and outside that dinner.” NOTE: I’ve replaced the hilariously wrong clip with the above correct one. Sorry about that, I was on a plane all day and …

Bill O’Reilly: “If you are a religious person, you don’t want someone telling your child it’s OK to be gay.” O’Reilly and his co-host object to a one-day anti-bullying class being taught in Oakland, California schools. Parents are not allowed to have their children opt-out of the class and even though the class is only conducted once a year, Christians …

Fox is lashing back at Jimmy Carter for saying that much of the criticism of Obama is borne of racism. Laura Ingraham: “There’s nothing worse than a self-loathing Southerner.” Nothing, Laura?

Not in those exact words, but O’Reilly and Brit Hume say that since “America is overwhelmingly white,” of course there were very few non-whites at Saturday’s teabagger event.

Bill O’Reilly doesn’t attempt to hide his contempt. His cohost Megan Kelly joins in with some eyerolling and snickering, but ultimately says some very supportive things about transgender folks.

Sound the sad trombone.

“Tiller was terminated in his 203rd trimester.”

Washington City Paper gets it right: LL will make but one comment. OK, two. (1) You’re fitting your wife and young adult daughters in a one-bedroom condo? (2) Obtaining the address and date of registration for a District voter by no means requires any “hacking.” Any person is free to visit the offices of the Board of Elections and Ethics …

After Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church yesterday, all eyes turned to Bill O’Reilly, who has railed against Tiller on his show 28 times since 2005. Via Salon: But there’s no other person who bears as much responsibility for the characterization of Tiller as a savage on the loose, killing babies willy-nilly thanks to the collusion of would-be …
