TPM:
On Monday night, O’Reilly Factor host Bill O’Reilly and Fox News host Megyn Kelly sat down to discuss what really happened at UC Davis on Friday and whether campus police acted appropriately in showering a group of sitting students with pepper spray. Their conclusion? No big deal.
“Pepper spray, that just burns your eyes, right?” O’Reilly asked Kelly.
“Right,” Kelly said. “I mean, its like a derivative of actual pepper. It’s a food product, essentially.”
Twitter explodes:
“Mustard gas: it’s a hot dog condiment, essentially!”
“Stabbing: It’s just acupuncture, essentially!”
“Waterboarding: It’s a really high-powered shower, essentially!”
“Arranged marriage: it’s just your parents being concerned about your love life, essentially.”
“Forest fires: They’re tree candles, essentially!”
“Beheadings: They’re really close haircuts, essentially!”

From the book Little Brother by Cory Doctorow:
“What the hell are you doing to that poor, defenseless burrito?”
She gave me a wicked smile. “I’m a spicy food addict,” she said. “This is capsaicin oil in a mister.”
“Capsaicin –“
“Yeah, the stuff in pepper spray. This is like pepper spray but slightly more dilute. And way more delicious. Think of it as Spicy Cajun Visine if it helps.”

Sure, it’s a food product, they’re right. But it’s a food product that’s not supposed to go in your eyes.
You know Bill, a cucumber is a food product. Why don’t we shove one up your ass. It’s just food after all.
@ #5, #47: I’d like to see BillO and Megyn presented with that proposition using plain old Tabasco sauce — just to see them squirm over the prospect of an ACTUAL food product in the eyes, before you up the ante by saying, “Now try it with something designed to be two hundred times more painful.”
Pepper spray can be bought over the counter at a hardware store if you’re 18 and up. You liberal nutcases must have been smoking some pretty hard stuff to compare it to wood chippers, mustard gas, beheading, etc. Plus the OWS lowlives (who recently assaulted an elderly woman and put her in the hospital with head trauma) deserved it and worse – they should just be glad this isn’t the socialist utopia that they dream of or the cops would have used live rounds, not pepper spray, Tianneman Square style.
I got a good laugh out of those Twitter posts too, but only because it’s funny (or scary actually) that liberal shut-ins who think pepper spray is the same as beheadings, mustard gas, blahblahblah are actually allowed to breed.
