I truly wish O'Reilly would just go away...

This is my first posting...be gentle.

This is nothing new - we all know what a slimeball Bill O'Reilly is. But after last night's "Back of the Book" segment, he has truly earned the scorn and wrath of every decent moderate parent.

<snip>

O'REILLY: What parent in their right mind is going to allow their young daughter to experiment with bisexuality? Come on.

CARDINAL: Oh, each parent has to make that decision. But are the kids going to do it? Yes, they are. It is merely another step…

O'REILLY: Well, they're not going to do it if they're locked in the basement. I mean...

CARDINAL: Well, now that's child abuse, Bill. We don't talk about that in California. We don't promote that.

O'REILLY: Yes, OK. So my choice is I'm going to let my daughter who's 12 experiment with bisexuality, or lock her in the basement? She's going to be in the basement.

Look, Doctor, it's that libertine attitude -- there are boundaries, and children should know what the boundaries are.

<snip>

Now, one of the few things he had going for him at one time was his supposed tolerance of gay rights. Yet after this exchange, not only is it clear how he feels about gays and/or bisexuals, especially if it happens in his household, but he advocates child abuse to get his message across.

What a complete and utter prick...

4. Why?
Why would you do that to the girl? I think she deserves to work out her sexuality without it being posted on the Internet with "email for details" intrigue. My opinion anyway.

7. You mean...
Because you disagree with the daughter's POLITICS, you think it's okay to talk about her sexuality? I don't get it......Are BiSexuals not allowed to support the war without being "outed"??? Things are so different these days....such a lack of civility all the way around the idealogical spectrum. I say stick to the real issues instead of using a girl's sexuality as cannon fodder for another political battle.

Fine I deleted the post. Happy now?

9. If it were me it would be a big deal
and if it were me, I know that I would appreciate it and you, probably, would too. I only made a "big deal" out of it because it seemed very un-DU like. It's not a matter of ME being happy or not. No need to make ME happy! We can disagree on this. :)

2. Orelly never touches his pee pee to go to the bathroom either!
That might be considered spanking the monkey, and Bill surely is too pure to even think about that.
Thank Gawd we have such a kind, loving and moral man guiding the moral direction of our country.

I'm going to lock my kid in the basement right now!
Of course, one wouldn't want to mutter around Billy-boy saying:
Daddy, I want to experiment with bicycles.

3. He's a hypocrite anyway.
His book contained a sex scene as lewd as they come. I don't care how he tried to spin it; that scene indicates he's a hypocrite slimeball with kinky sex acts on his mind.

6. What the hell is wrong with bisexuality?
What two or more people do in private is nobodys business except those involved.

10. Sexuality is normal (at least to everyone except O'Reilly)

I've been reading O'Reilly's comments regarding sexuality, and I'm afraid that the brothers at the Catholic school he went to must have caught him in flagrante delicto, or something like that. Damn that Ann-Margaret!

Sex is a mystery to O'Reilly, and to compensate he must demonize it in all its forms.

Personally, I would think it's healthier to explore your sexuality in an open, caring environment as opposed to staying in the closet somewhere, bottling up all the sexual frustration until your psyche explodes and you become a neocon or freeper...

11. O'REILLY is an obnoxious moron.
I know that. You know that. And Bill knows that. He just continues to lie for money.
