Bill O'Reily is an asshole. Also, bears shit in the woods.



If you watch Fox "News" for any reason other than comedic value, then you deserve to have your head filled with polarizing, sensationalist, right wing tripe. Its a testament to Bill's journalistic integrity that instead of bringing on a representative from the American Humanist Association he brings on 2 other Fox "News" talking heads, presumably so they can all agree with each other. That is, after all, the point of Fox: so people who are too conservative for their own good get to hear someone shouting out what they think on TV, regardless of whether or not what they say is factual, objective, or responsible. As long as you're completely sure you're right, no matter what and the truth be damned, you have a place at a 24 hour news network in America.

Since no humanist was present to answer Bill's nonsensical questions, I'll do it.
-Humanist groups have been putting up signage like this all over Europe for quite some time now, and now American groups are starting to.
-Yes, they'll put them up in July.
-Yes, they'll put them up around Easter.
-Yes, they'll put them up around Ramadan.
-No, we don't hate the baby Jesus...moron.
-No, those signs are no more of an affront to religious groups than nativity scenes all over the place are to Muslims or Jews.
-The sign says, "No God? No problem. You can be good without god." it doesn't say "If you believe in god, you're a f**king moron! And we hate you. And we hate your stupid family." What, exactly, is wrong with people reaching out to the like minded for a sense of community? Isn't that what church is? The fact is that we live in a hugely religious society, and its not uncommon for non-believers to feel like they're alone in their beliefs, especially around the holidays.
-Most of us celebrate some form of the holiday anyway so, no, you arogant child, we're not "jealous" of what a good time religious people have around the holiday.
-Christmas, like Easter, is an originally pagan holiday that Christianity hijacked somewhere along the way. So, if you want to get into a game of "who was here first?" the Christians will find themselves pretty far back in the line.

It is trully sad how much Bill O'Reilly depends on his audience being ignorant little sheep. A loud voice does not a sound argument make.

  1. Holy crap this video made me very angry, but I must stay calm. Lol. I barely have any words for this so you're following entry sums up how I feel perfectly. I can't believe this is on tv, let alone that my Grandma watches it. I also can't believe people who are older and experienced can be so dumb! What did they have their eyes completely closed from the time they were 6 years old? For most of the video they were just making stuff up as they went!! I'm about to start doing something about this. This is really getting to me now.

  2. This is probably my favorite post you've done so far.

  3. Also, it's so disturbing and bizarre that they decided humanists want to "run down a baby." Of course leaps in logic are a given for Fox and Bill, but this one seemed like an Evel Knievel jump over a canyon.

    And I like the way he interrupts and verbally pushes around his Fox News choir to give the illusion that he's ~getting down to brass tacks.~
