Media O’Reilly’s cupcake logic
posted by December 15 at 16:28 PM
onBill O’Reilly is at it again. On his Dec. 13 show, he used a confectionery metaphor to pooh-pooh research showing that children reared by same sex parents don’t grow horns. According to Media Matters, O’Reilly suggested that if children didn’t suffer from being raised by gay or lesbian couples “wouldn’t nature then make it that anybody could get pregnant by eating a cupcake?”
Huh?
He also ragged on “very liberal” Seattle PI columnists Joel Connelly and Susan Paynter who, respectively, called the TV mouth on his double standards and specious statistics.

Jeebuz, that's the worst example of a "straw man" logical fallacy I've ever read!
He's just lucky humans can't get preggers by playing with loofah sponges, otherwise he'd be too busy raisin' the young'uns to have a career in TV punditry.
All these angry middle-aged white men make me angry.
Between this and the falafel incident, it's clear that O'Reilly has some seriously fucked-up issues surrounding foodstuffs.
Let's hope next time he gets sick, he lets nature take it's course.
