Bill O'Reilly Complains About Homosexuality. . . Again
07 April 2008
Apparently not taking his own advice that "I think everybody's got to relax on all this gay stuff," Bill O'Reilly hosted yet another segment where he complains that homosexuality is becoming too "mainstream." Video here:
Does he invite a panel of experts on psychology, or even a homosexual, onto his show to discuss this like adults? No. He invites Mark Rudov. The same Mark Rudov who has held entire discussions on FOX about how "shrill" Hillary Clinton's voice is.
I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton myself, but this is so incredibly far from actual journalism, and so far gone from intelligent conversation, that one wonders how anybody could use FOX as a primary source of news.
UPDATE: It looks like people who use Google prefer "homosexuality" to "Bill O'Reilly."
UPDATE II: As far as O'Reilly's claims that homosexuality is too "intrusive" or in-your-face go, I refer you to my ongoing "FOX News Has the Story" series:

Bill O'Reilly on John Edwards
06 January 2008
During the O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly said the following:
Why is O'Reilly making fun of this specific point, and what do "illegal alien workers" have to do with it? When O'Reilly says that "[t]he only thing sleeping under a bridge is that guy’s brain," it certainly appears that he is challenging the factual accuracy of Edwards's claim. But there really are 195,827 homeless veterans, and there is certainly something wrong with that.O’Reilly: As for John Edwards, Good grief! this guy has no clue. (plays clip)
Edwards: … and tonight, 200,000 men and women who wore our uniform proudly and served this country courageously as veterans will go to sleep under bridges and on grates. We are better than this. (see Edward’s speech here)
O’Reilly: That was Edwards’ concession speech last night. I mean, come on. The only thing sleeping under a bridge is that guy’s brain. 10 million illegal alien workers are sending billions of dollars back home and Edwards is running around saying nobody has any money. Hard to believe.
UPDATE: The Washington Post has more here:
Several readers have asked us to check this surprising statistic, often used by Edwards. The language may be overly dramatic, but the figure is an official one, from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The department believes that one-third of the adult homeless population of the United States "have served their country in the Armed Services." A posting on the department Web site says that about 195,000 veterans are "homeless on any given night" and perhaps twice as many experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year.
Bill O'Reilly on Lesbianism
10 November 2007
According to Bill O'Reilly, these two lesbian teenagers were voted "cutest couple" simply to "tweak" the adults. Not because their peers thought they were actually the "cutest couple." According to Bill O'Reilly, you "have to respect" the "valid point of view" behind why some people will "be angry" at the idea of normalized homosexuality. Among those reasons, Bill cites how "it's much more difficult to be a homosexual than a heterosexual in America" (circular logic at its finest).
I also find it bizarre how Bill O'Reilly equates this yearbook recognition with "an exposition of sexuality," yet does not think that naming a heterosexual couple as "cutest couple" would also qualify as an "exposition of sexuality." His explanation for this logical contortion is first that homosexuality is in the minority, and then (once faced with the logical consequences of such moronic reasoning) he distinguishes it from race by saying that it's "conduct." So in sum, his position is that homosexuality is minority conduct. That's not an argument - it's a description.
According to Bill O'Reilly, all of these asinine "explanations" "shouldn't be condescended to." I disagree (yet I also admire Dr. Laura Berman's self-control).

Ben Stein's Expelled - Part V
23 October 2007
Transcript available here.
My favorite part of the interview was this:
STEIN: Einstein worked within the framework of believing there was a God. Newton worked within the framework of believing there was a God. For gosh sakes Darwin worked within the framework of believing there was a God. And yet, somehow, today you're not allowed to believe it. Why can't we have as much freedom as Darwin had?
The big difference here is that Einstein didn't just say "light bends because God did it." Likewise, Newton didn't just say "gravity exists because God did it." Darwin didn't just say "different species are here because God did it," either. The fact that these men believed in the existence of God otherwise is completely irrelevant to the point Ben "persecution-complex" Stein is trying to make here. Their theories were good, and were backed up with evidence. They didn't just rely on divine fiat. As a result, they weren't laughed at in the scientific community. Even the Big Bang theory, although it has religious implications (insofar as it posits a beginning in time of the universe itself, and is thus compatible with religious beliefs), has been accepted because it presented significant evidence in its favor, and thus won over the scientific community.
Creationism, on the other hand, "works within the framework of believing there is a God" in a completely different manner. Its central argument is simply this: "things are so complex that God must have done it." It's the same old theological argument we've had floating around for centuries, but it's certainly not science, and it's certainly not on par with the theories of Newton and Einstein.

Bill O'Reilly On DailyKos: Part VII
16 August 2007
On Meet the Press this past week, Harold Ford made the following claim about the open-forum Daily Kos website: "Markos, in all fairness, your site has posted awful things about Jewish Americans."
O'Reilly played the clip on his television show, calling DailyKos a "hate website":
Curiously, O'Reilly also quoted the following user posting in support of his assertion:
"If Jews love the U.S. so much- how come their #'s in the military are dismal? Instead of selling ones soul to be diamond brokers, investment bankers..."
Of course, O'Reilly made no mention of the open forum nature of the website in this segment. Instead, he chose to spin this as if Daily Kos had either written the comment or had encouraged that kind of sentiment. However, this particular comment came from the "user comment" section of a blog posting denouncing anti-semitism. Actually, the author of the article even criticized the stereotypical and bigoted remarks in that particular comment.
It's really remarkable how O'Reilly has spun a few user comments from an open forum website into an entire narrative about Daily Kos being a "hate website" that is "no different" from the Nazi party and the KKK.
Bill O'Reilly on John Edwards
10 August 2007
Presidential candidate John Edwards recently spoke critically of FOX News, and has refused to participate in a FOX News moderated debate. O'Reilly expressed shock at this behavior, and suggested that Edwards would be treated fairly. According to O'Reilly, "33 times he was on, and we've pored over the transcripts, and there was never one time that this guy was unfairly treated... uh, while he was on this network."
Notice the weasel words at the end: "while he was on this network." Turns out, O'Reilly and other FOX News hosts (and guests) have had plenty of negative things to say about Edwards. Just not while he was specifically on the program, in person.
Bill O'Reilly On DailyKos: Part VI
03 August 2007
O'Reilly has recently gone off the deep end, criticizing Democratic presidential candidates for attending the YealyKos event, based on the "hate stuff" he perceives on the DailyKos website. Of the comments O'Reilly actually cited in support of his claim, one was completely accurate ("the pope is a primate"), one was rather callous (a user who commented, while Tony Snow was battling cancer, that he didn't care if the man died or not), and one involved crude sexual humor (a photoshopped image of Joe Lieberman on his knees in front of George W. Bush). But by attending the YearlyKos event, O'Reilly has accused the Democratic candidates of "legitimizing" material he has compared to that of the Nazis, the KKK, Mussolini, and David Duke.
Well, on the flip side, let's see what kind of company the president keeps.
According to Hugh Hewitt on Townhall.com: "President Bush invited ten talk show hosts into the Oval Office for an hour of conversation today -- Glenn Beck, Bill Bennett, Neal Boortz, Scott Hennon, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larson, Mark Levin, Michael Medved, Janet Parshall and me. This was an off-the-record conversation, and so I won't be quoting the president."
If the problem here is wishing ill on your political enemies, then Neil Boortz topped the Tony Snow comment when he suggested:
"When we defeat this illegal alien amnesty bill, and when we yank out the welcome mat, and they all start going back to Mexico, as a going away gift let's all give them a box of nuclear waste. Give 'em all a little nuclear waste and let 'em take it on down there to Mexico. Tell 'em it can -- it'll heat tortillas."
(6/21/2007)
Audio here:.
If the problem is simply making crude sexual comments about your political enemies, then college dropout and reformed addict Glenn Beck has the same problem. Remarking on Dennis Kucinich's hot wife, Beck said:
"How did that happen? ... I'm wondering if it's some sort of, some sort of, you know. What's that date rape drug? ... Yeah, but it's not powerful enough to actually knock you out, but it's powerful enough to, like, make you think that you're not standing next to Dennis Kucinich and making out with him... I was thinking cyanide. That would be the only thing that would really dull the senses enough. Even then, your dead body would be like, 'Dennis Kucinich has his tongue in my mouth'"
(6/4/2007)
Audio here:.Also, keep in mind that these comments were made by the radio personalities themselves, rather than a handful of the 500,000 daily website viewers at DailyKos.
So let's see if Bill O'Reilly says in the next few days that the president is "legitimizing" hateful content on par with the Nazis, KKK, etc. (Hint: He won't, because the root of his problem with DailyKos is that they are a liberal website)
Bill O'Reilly On DailyKos: Part V
02 August 2007
Chris Dodd appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show yesterday to talk about O'Reilly's treatment of the DailyKos website over the past few weeks. O'Reilly has compared the website to the Nazis, the KKK, David Duke, and Benito Mussolini, saying that it is "no different" in its hatefulness. All of this has been based simply on some tasteless user comments O'Reilly found on the site. But every time somebody goes on the program and points out that those comments (on top of being very far from Naziism) are not representative of the site itself (which enjoys thousands upon thousands of readers and commenters), O'Reilly just raises his voice and says something to the effect of "YES THEY ARE!"
Ever the highbrow journalist, O'Reilly prefaces this particular interview by stating that he does not respect Chris Dodd. At all.
A few minutes into the interview things quickly got heated, and Bill O'Reilly began to raise his voice and accuse DailyKos of "hate stuff." Chris Dodd pointed out that O'Reilly himself had made some rather angry remarks about how he wouldn't care if Al Qaeda blew up San Francisco's Coit Tower. Instead of denying that he had ever said such a thing, O'Reilly asked Dodd where and in what forum. Dodd said that he believed it was on the O'Reilly Factor television show (it was really on The Radio Factor, though). According to O'Reilly, "No, you're wrong, I didn't say it here. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I SAID! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT [this sentence oozes with disrespect, by the way]. YOU GOT IT FROM MEDIA MATTERS!" As if the source of an exact quote discredited Dodd's entire argument. Actually, whether it was said on television or radio makes no difference whatsoever. Yet O'Reilly became indignant on this point, shouting at Dodd and trying to give his audience the impression that he had never said such a thing anywhere, ever.
Well, here is the audio of Bill O'Reilly saying exactly what Chris Dodd recounted:.
Here is the Media Matters page.
And here is the interview with Chris Dodd:
UPDATE: Video here.
UPDATE #2: In a post-debate analysis, comedian Dennis Miller called Chris Dodd a "hack" and claimed that Bill O'Reilly's website gets "eight times" more traffic than DailyKos. Well, I checked Alexa.com, and just the opposite is true:
The blue line on top represents the amount of traffic on the DailyKos website, and the little red line on the bottom represents BillOReilly.com.
Bill O'Reilly On DailyKos: Part IV
25 July 2007
O'Reilly has recently compared the DailyKos website to (1) Nazis, (2) the KKK, (3) Mussolini, and (4) Al Capone, based on nothing more than a handful of user comments which neither represented the site itself, nor were written by the site itself.
One of these user comments, which O'Reilly described as "no different" from Nazi propaganda, said that "the pope is a primate." Turns out, on top of that comment being a far cry from Naziism, the pope is a primate in both the taxonomical and ecclesiastical senses.
O'Reilly represented another one of these user comments as wishing death upon Tony Snow when he was suffering from cancer. More specifically, O'Reilly said:
"There's no difference between the KKK and the Nazis, who have websites, than the Daily Kos. Because the Daily Kos is basically saying, "We're allowing this kind of thing to come on. It's good that Tony Snow has a recurrence of cancer; we hope he dies. We're sorry the assassination attempt against Dick Cheney failed; let them try again." And on and on and on and on."
Well, it turns out that particular commenter got wind of O'Reilly's comments and responded here.
"As usual, O'Reilly got it mostly wrong. I never said that Tony Snow "should" die of cancer. Nor did I say that I wanted him to die of cancer. Or of anything else, for that matter. What I said, in a comment responding to a diary about the White House spokesman's illness, was that I really didn't care if he died.
Now, you might say there's not a lot of difference. But I disagree. Actively wishing for something to happen is not the same as expressing indifference as to whether that thing happens or not.
...
I certainly don't actively wish any harm to Mr. Snow. But neither would I shed a tear for him."
So the comment, not even written by the site itself, was actually saying that the user simply wouldn't care either way if Tony Snow were to die or not. While that comment is obviously mean-spirited, it is a far cry from Naziism. Furthermore, I don't see any real difference between that comment about Tony Snow, on the one hand, and this comment by Bill O'Reilly about San Francisco, on the other:
"Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
Source:
San Francisco Chronicle.
San Francisco Chronicle.
If anything, this comment takes it a step further and says "go ahead."
Bill O'Reilly On DailyKos: Part III
24 July 2007
O'Reilly has still more to say about DailyKos:
Of course, O'Reilly doesn't cite anything specific from the site to support his claim that "The DailyKos now has a posting calling for the violent overthrow of the government." DailyKos is now offering a pony to anyone who can find such a post.
Also, here's some more overwrought hyperbole about DailyKos:
POWERS: What I was going to say --O"REILLY: Real quick.
POWERS: -- is there's a lot of stuff that they do that isn't horrible. Most, like 90 --
O'REILLY: Oh, I see. It's kind of like Al Capone.
POWERS: No. No. No. But it's really --
O'REILLY: We'll only do bad things on Thursday, and we'll slaughter a bunch of people, but on Friday we'll go to church. Stop.
POWERS: But the majority -- look, the majority of the stuff -- there's a lot of good diaries that are put up there. There's a lot of smart political stuff that's on there.
O'REILLY: Mussolini made the trains run on time.
POWERS: Oh, it's not like Mussolini. That's ridiculous.
So now O'Reilly has compared DailyKos to Hitler, Mussolini, the Ku Klux Klan, Nazi Germany, and Al Capone. All of this, mind you, based on user comments left on the site.
