Bill O'Reilly Hypocrisy: 'Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence' v 'Pro-Life' Protesters

Posted by Priscilla -26.60pc on August 03, 2014 · Flag

One can only imagine Bill O'Reilly's indignation if a group of, say, LGBT protesters interrupted a church service for a deceased member, shouted insults at the congregation, and pressed vulgar photos in the windows of a church nursery. This actually happened at a New Orleans Unitarian Church. However, this church invasion was perpetrated not by liberals, but by the militant anti-choice organization, Operation Save America (formerly Operation Rescue) led by Rev. Flip Benham, father of the persecuted Benham brothers so beloved on Fox. But, in 2007, when two "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" queued up for communion, at a San Francisco Catholic Church, O'Reilly was outraged about this "invasion" and "desecration" of a church. The "pro-life" protest occurred on July 23rd but, according to the O'Reilly website program notes, he hasn't covered it. But, he did find time, last week, to report on bad behavior directed towards pro-lifers and the pro-choice "double standard."

Last Wednesday, O'Reilly and Martha MacCallum (video not available but summary found on the O'Reilly website program notes) reported on the outcome of a University of California's "assault" on radical anti-choice activists who were demonstrating on the campus. According to news accounts, the professor took a sign being held by one of the protesters who represent the radical, Christian, anti-choice group "Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust" who use gory photos of supposedly aborted fetuses as part of their shtick. As noted by MacCallum, the professor pled no contest to battery, vandalism, and grand theft and will be sentenced this month. It was also mentioned that the only comment from the school is that outsiders shouldn't be allowed on campus. In claiming that the school would have reacted differently if a pro-life professor had taken something from a pro-choice protester, O'Reilly whined about a "double standard."

While the professor's actions were unwarranted, they certainly pale in comparison to disruption of a church service by anti-choice radicals. But that might cut into O'Reilly's black and white world view which characterizes those who are pro-choice as evil and those who are pro-life are good. Talk about double standard.

And interestingly, Megyn Kelly provided warm sympathy for the anti-choice radicals. I don't know if she has or will cover the anti-choice church invasion. But something tells me she hasn't or won't. Just saying...

@mlp: None. In fact, his flock was condemning real Christians who realized you could help these kids and still send them home when the problem in their country is resolved almost as fast as the followers of the Cliven Bundy/Fred Phelps types.

I really have to wonder just how many of Benham’s group that believes America needs to be saved from abortion also believes that the children at the border also need help.
