Bill O’Reilly is many things. TV talk show host, political pundit and a propaganda machine unequaled since Joseph Goebbel’s ran the spin in Germany. O’Reilly steamrolls facts like a throng of girls who hear Justin Bieber is at the Starbucks down the street. He makes assertions with a straight face with nothing to back them up.

The video below shows just some of his crazier pronouncements, like “selling drugs is a violent act” – which would make doctors and pharmacists killers and Walgreens akin to the gas chambers in the aforementioned Germany. And who could forget his theory that anyone with a pain in their toe can get legal weed in states that have medical marijuana, and that medical cannabis is just a “ruse” to legalize marijuana. He is also found of citing the great strife caused in Amsterdam by marijuana decriminalization, strife that no one else can seem to locate.

Contrary to popular belief, many medical users and advocates could care less whether recreational use is legalized. Beyond that, there is no “ruse” needed to advocate for the legalization of something that does not infringe on the rights of others. Freedom does not need “stealth” tactics.
