Striking Similarity
Was anybody else struck by the similarity between comments made by Bill O'Reilly and Pat Robertson in the last couple of days? The subject matter is different, but it seems to me that the general (disturbing) sentiment is the same:
"O'Reilly reacted to San Franciscans' approval of Proposition I, which discourages military recruiters on public high school and college campuses.
He advised President George W. Bush to react by withdrawing any military protection for the city. "...If al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead," O'Reilly said." http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.asp?S=4107018&nav=5D7l
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city," Robertson said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club."
"And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/10/religion.robertson.reut/index.html
Maybe FOX News should hire Pat Robertson. Or Bill O'Reilly could be on the 700 Club. Either way...

Interesting...
Or Maybe they should both keep talking themselves into the most ridiculous corners, where they will forever be punchlines...
Peace
I heard the Robertson comments on NPR this morning for the first time. It's even worse when you can hear his voice instead of just the words. They were interviewing one of the new board members. She seemed like a reasonable person.
