O'Rielly Defends Gay's (1 Viewer)

[Deegan]

I have often defended Bill here, and I continue to believe he is a decent man, very opinionated, and very set in his ways, but very reasonable all the same. I just thought I would share this interview with you, since so much is said to degrade the man, and so many feel he is something other then what I believe him to be, a good man.

I never for a second thought that the coach for the Chicago White Sox would end up on the Factor, but there it was tonight, Bill defending the homosexuals across the country. He took the time to fit this in to his show, a show much of you assume is here for all of us conservatives, a show where we can continue our evil crusades against any who disagree. Now Bill "strikes out" against the manager of the World Champion Chicage White Sox, and the inappropriate behavior of that manager. Apparently the coach called a Sun Times reporter a "F'infag" and was fined by baseball for this, but what compelled Bill to pick up this story?

So no one wants to even give Bill a little love, just a little second glance?

"So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda' kissing your neck from behind...and then I would take the other hand with the falafel thing and I'd just put it on your p***y but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business..."

O'reilly's got enough love for everybody....






sry, couldn't resist.
I think he is making a jaunt back towards 'moderation', to be sure.

I agree, I think he is learning as he goes, much like myself, and I just think he deserves a second chance.

Yeah,

Well, Bill and Geraldo regularly share some intimate moments on the air, so it's not too surprising.

Uhh, I think Bill is a good foot taller, but whatever, funny pic, just get it right next time.

This is not surprising. I have heard Bill defend gays before. He specifically stated that he could not care less if gays were allowed to be in legal unions. That was a show I saw about 2-3 years ago.

Also, Bill is getting older. When a person gets older, they begin to realize that their prejudices are not so real or important. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard older people say to me, "I hated gays when I was young, but now that I am older, I have realized there is nothing wrong with it."

Maybe some of the older people on this forum can post something about this?

 

[Alex]

Oh, by the way.... kudos to Bill. Are you happy Deegan?

I am, I happen to agree with the guy most of the time, and feel he is doing some good things for America. I was just surprised when he defended gay rights, as I often forget why I support him, as so many are out to string him up, I think he's doing a good job.

I agree. The man is one of the most reasonable journalists out there, regardless of his arrogance. But it's not surprising that he gets attacked so much. For one, people don't like other people who know everything. And I think when you openly tell the rest of the media (NY Times, Washington Post, etc.) that you are intent on bringing them down.... heh, well, no wonder they hate the man.

I guess that's why he won that Peabody award.:roll:

Come on, get over that, the guy made an honest mistake.:roll:

 

[Deegan]

Man, it's kind of a dickish way to try to act moderate.

I mean really, how many times in the basement have I called someone a ******? Hundreds! Yeah, it sucks that we use epithets for groups as insults on other matters, but whatever. Like, out here it's perfectly common to say something like "I'm sorry, I've gotta be a jew about my bud for a little bit". Guillen's from Honduras, do you really think that they have a PC police down there like they've got up here?
For me it just confirms that O'Reilly's a dick, because I am yet to see one situation where O'Reilly didn't respond to any situation like a complete dick. And I've watched a fair amount of the O'Reilly Factor, and I've listened to his radio show, and every single situation I've ever seen or heard him respond to he's responded the exact same way, like a bloated pompous dick.

It walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck...

You mean when he is defending our children, our troops, our government, or is there some other reason you find him so repulsive? To each his own, I just think he is often treated very unfairly, and if he's reading this, keep up the good work Bill.

As upset as people get at O'reilly for his outlandish viewpoints I try to remind myself that he is just a talking head that is for the sole purpose of entertainment. If his market share is the extreme right, we can expect him to accomodate them and continue to tell them what they want to hear.

As the extreme right is currently losing ground and the nation appears to be headed back to more moderate leanings, I am sure we can expect Bill to follow suit in order to maintain his ratings. Any way the wind blows.

We truly don't anything about the man personally except that he is a pervert who wants to give us a sponge bath. Other than that, it's all for show I'm sure.

Not entirely true, because of the hard work Bill has done, many states have now decided to enact laws, such as Jessica's law. He has also made people aware of activist judges, judges that have been irresponsible on the bench, and judges that are just not protecting the citizens of their communities. I think this is a very powerful way to get needed attention on some of these important subjects. So this is hardly just for entertainments sake, Bill is doing some good work, some may not agree with him, but for those of us who usually do, we appreciate it greatly.

 

[Deegan]

Man, come on. You can't ignore all of the glaring points on his record that would lead one to believe he's a dick.

Watch him moderate a debate, it's typically "Well here's Douchey Douche McDouche Douche, trying to argue his retarded beliefs that children should be molested."
"Uh Bill, that's not what I'm arguing at all. That doesn't even resemble what I'm here to..."
"Shut up douchebag. On this side we have Jesus Christ himself..."

How about all the times he's been attempting to ruin people's careers, and it turns out he's lying about them. How could a good person lie to ruin an innocent person's career just because it makes him sound morally superior on television?

How about the time he was videotaped sexually harassing his producer? I mean come on! You still haven't forgiven Clinton for getting a BJ, but a guy who is constantly acting morally superior, and telling people how THEY should morally lead THEIR lives, while he's blatantly sexually harassing his producer on video tape during commercial breaks? Hell, he might as well've done it in the same breath.

How about the time when a jewish person called him to say that celebrating christmas in school wasn't fair to her, and he responded "Come on, [caller] -- if you are really offended, you gotta go to Israel then. "

Go to google, and search "Bill O'Reilly lies", and see just how much you get. There are 3.65 MILLION pages.

So you don't like the guy, I get that, but I do, so let's just agree to disagree, none of these examples have changed my mind, sorry.

 

[Deegan]

Man, you know full well there are certain things that I refuse to agree to disagree on, it's one of my less endearing qualities, but it's part of what makes the fantastic creature we call Galen :2razz:

How could you possibly think O'Reilly's a good man? I mean, it seems clear we've been looking at similar information, we both watch the show, we've both seen the blatant examples of him lying to ruin people's careers, and then lying to end the people's careers who call him out on lying, and so on and so forth, we're both reasonably bright (I took an IQ test yesterday, so now I have quantifiable proof that I am smarter than most people! 140 BITCHES!!!), we have very similar outlooks on the world, so I cannot figure out for the life of me how you and I have interpreted the things we've seen in such polar opposite ways! I mean, you think he's a good man, and I personally find certain cold blooded murderers to be a better person than he is.

How can you possibly think he's actually trying to help the children? How you justify all of his blatant lies? Like, how can you look at him and not see a bloated pompous dick?

And think of the effect that he has on the population. Ignoring you and George Washington, do you think a Bill O'Reilly fan is more likely or less likely to hold reasonable political beliefs, and not only be able to defend them, but also be willing to discuss them in an open manner?

He plays to the lowest common denominator, and he only lowers that common denominator.

Man, I'm not trying to say that there's no way that you're right on this one, but moreso I'm saying that I cannot understand how you believe what you believe about O'Reilly, and I'd like to try to figure that out.

As I said, I agree with many of his positions, this may, or may not make me over look some of his character defects, but if the left were as honest as I, we may begin to understand each other more clearly.

I have watched his show many times and I have never understood why people refer to him as a Conservative or right winger.

He seems like a pompous dick, but he hardly strikes me as a conservative with the views he has.

Compare him to Hannity, Rush, Randi Rhodes and Franken and he comes off fairly middle of the road.

Well, that furthers my argument that these ultra-rightwingers cloaking themselves as self proclaimed conservatives are anything but. It's almost as the definition of conservative has been re-defined.

He panders to the fringe that call themselves "conservative." Guilt by association I suppose.
