BILL O'REILLY SPEWS MORE IDIOCY

O’Reilly to Foxman: Nuts to you
Bill O’Reilly called the Anti-Defamation League an “extremist group” and its national director a “nut.” The ADL had written the Fox network commentator this week after he told a caller on his radio show to “go to Israel” if he was offended by attempts to convert American Jews to Christianity and to celebrate Christmas in U.S. schools.

“Jews and other religious minorities are part of America’s great tradition of religious freedom,” ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said in the letter. “The discomfort with proselytizing, or the intrusion of Christian teachings in public schools, is a very legitimate concern.” The ADL said such comments play into anti-Semitic canards, and expressed the hope that O’Reilly would “be more sensitive.”

Discussing the letter Thursday on his radio show, O’Reilly called the ADL “an extremist group which finds offense in pretty much everything,” and said Foxman was “just a nut.”
