Bill O'Reilly Threatens Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
In the video above, Bill O'Reilly made thinly veiled physical threat to cause bodily harm to Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Watch it for yourself. Don't forget, he's the guy who sexually harassed a female employee, was surprised to learn that black restaurants are just like any other, and still doesn't "get" that Steven Colbert is mocking him.
Today's Chronicle had an opinion piece from way out in right field by someone named Cinnamon Stillwell full of faulty fact-checking. Who could take a journalist seriously with a name like Cinnamon? Isn't that why writers create pen names? Read the column:
Here's a quote: "If groups such as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence spent half as much time criticizing Islam for its abuses against gay rights as they do Catholicism, then perhaps their attempts at activism might be seen as truly groundbreaking...When we start seeing sex toys with Muhammad's likeness on them being sold at the Folsom Street Fair or sisters infiltrating mosques in burqas, then perhaps we can call these activists and their supporters brave. Until then, perhaps it's time for the sisters to grow up."
I am not going to legitimize her remarks with a grown-up response. Instead I offer a decidedly "juvenile" bit of namecalling. From here on, the esteemed journalist will be called Sister Cinnabon Shakewell.
