O'Reilly Is A Weird Dude (vanity)

Posted on 10/16/2004 8:49:06 AM PDT by discipler

A couple of days ago Bill O'Reilly was in the middle of a diatribe on the Cathoics (I'm not one, but I believe) trying to intidate Kerry. He said, the word "sin" is thrown around way too much in this country. I would have to DISagree. The problem is that real sin is being ignored or blurred into mushy grays.

In 2001, in the Jewish World Review, O'Reilly said in one of his rambling diatribes, "What the public school system needs are mandatory courses in Judeo-Christian ethics, the principles on which this country was founded." Does O'Reily know that it is impossible to talk about "Judeo-Christian ethics" without concluding that some things are objectively right and some things are wrong (see: Jewish World Review August 27, 2001 / 8 Elul, 5761).

O'Reilly is a confusing person who will go back and forth on an issue -- strongly taking both sides -- and thereby make it impossible to know with any exactness where he stands. People need exactness, clarity, objectivity. A study of the "Judeo-Christian ethic" would have to examine the Old Testament problem of moral laxness and relativism. Ezekiel wrote against the priests (the moral teachers of Israel) "they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean;" (Ez. 22:26). People need to know the difference between the "holy and profane" (Lev. 10:10). And God says, "woe to those who call evil good, and good evil." The problems we see in America have a lot to do with moral decline; blindness to truth; the confusion of ignorance; and the powerful delusion brought on by self-will.

It is very difficult to tell where the guy stands. At one minute he talks about President Bush in positive terms, and then wham, he takes a swipe at him. At one minute he's lumping the Republicans and Democrats together in negative terms, and the next minute he's talking about the positive things the Republicans do.

In the April 3, 2001 Jewish World Review, O'Reilly discusses why Bush wouldn't bail California out of its economic mess: "That's because the president wants to send Americans a message: You want more cash? Support a tax cut. You want more energy? Support drilling and fossil fuel plants and nuclear facilities. President Bush learned in Texas that take-home pay trumped the dirty air in Houston and the do-gooder social programs that the Lone Star State never even bothered with. For the hard-eyed pragmatists currently in power, it is all about money in your pocket at the end of the month. And it will be for the next four years."

Then in August, he says of Bush, "...he comes off as a nice guy. But I also believe that most Americans are not fully confident that the president will be effective, because he is not exactly a George Patton type leader. He doesn't look you in the eye and make you want to charge machine gun nests. He looks you in the eye, grins, and the golf cart pulls up."

What is it with this guy? O'Reilly is impossible to read. The fact that he plays a little golf doesn't mean he is clueless when it comes to the economy, but that was O'Reilly's implication. Such statements are eaten up by liberal wackos even though they aren't rooted in truth.

O'Reilly talks like someone with two minds, or someone who is on drugs. He is a weird dude!!

O'Reilly is just another guy who let fame and power go to his head. In a wierd way, he reminds me of Steven Seagal.

O'Reilly Catholic... Kerry Catholic.. Ted Kennedy Catholic HUMMM sound like we have a church the need to go back to what the Bible says and hold people accountable for their actions.(Clinton was allegedly Baptist too but NO ONE held him to account either)!

All I know is that if this woman set him up, and under the assumptions that the allegations are fully true, I still have trouble with why he would behave as such. Unless that was your wife or girlfriend I suppose, there's no need for such talk.

It's obvious that he was set up, but you would think that someone in his biz would be on constant alert that there were wenches like her out there just waiting to exploit him. Forget Fox News, he should have simply been concerned with his own bacon!

"O'Reilly is a confusing person who will go back and forth on an issue -- strongly taking both sides -- and thereby make it impossible to know with any exactness where he stands."

Could this be the reason why OR gives sKerry a pass on practically everything, and badmouths the Swiftees?

O'Reilly is weird and all over the place with emphatic pronounciamientos because he is playing at a role for which he is unqualified: God.

His being interested in the big "O" caused him to shift to the left. Basis: trying to build sympathy for Dan Rather AND on his radio show, at least, he had kind words for Bill Maher, too. He didn't want them to feel pain or, in essence, accept the consequences of their actions. Also, the Left in H'Wood like to resurrect their fallen, such as Sheen, Pee Wee, Bill Maher etc.

Michael Savage, usually on our side, seems to have raised himself from the dead after the "Homo" objections. No H'wood stars there. "O" and Dr Mike seem at odds and Dr. Mike didn't go on the big "O" Show. Fortuitous of inside radio intelligence?????

Maybe it's weird to try to think up so many reasons why somebody else is weird...or maybe reading about why a weird person thinks somebody else is weird is even weirder?

He sends all his female viewers charts on when to change the batteries.

Bill may need to create a "No Vibrate Zone".

I NEVER said the Klinton was exempt AND I think that his local Baptist Church should have held him to account also! That is if he EVER darkened the door of it!
