Jennifer Aniston Fires Back at Bill O'Reilly
CBS News ^ | August 13, 2010 12:31 PM

Jennifer Aniston is firing back at Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly, after he responded to comments she made about single mothers by calling the actress comments "destructive to our society."

"Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth," Aniston told People magazine. "And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who've not yet found their Bill O'Reilly, I'm just glad science has provided a few other options."

While promoting her new film "The Switch," in which she plays a women who decides to get pregnant using a sperm donor, Aniston told reporters that "times have changed" and women no longer have to wait for a man to have a baby.

"Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," she said. "Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere."

On "The O'Reilly Factor" last week, the host accused the actress of "diminishing the role of the dad" and called her comments "destructive to our society."

"She's throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that hey, you don't need a guy, you don't need a dad," O'Reilly said.

"Aniston can hire a battery of people to help her, but she cannot hire a dad," he continued. "And dads bring a psychology to children that is, in this society, under-emphasized. I think that men get hosed all day long in the parental arena...any man who leaves their children is not a man. Let's make that perfectly clear. But the fathers who do try hard are under-appreciated and diminished by people like Jennifer Aniston

“Actually, Jen and Bill are evenly matched, intellect-wise.”
No kidding - a dolt versus a dunce.

Without being insulting, I agree completely and have never understood people I knew who considered her so attractive.

To each his own or perhaps another example how some people believe what the media says (touting her good looks).

...and both multi-millionaires...thanks to an even lower IQ society.

I once strolled into a pub where the extremely attractive female Bartender was conducting an informal poll on who was more attractive. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie ?

Every single guy said Jennifer and every woman said Angelina. I guess you never know .

There’s a reason Jen has a problem finding potential Dads.
I dated someone even better looking but I woke up once I saw how shallow and self-centered she was.

I wish her well and much happiness but I’m sure glad I didn’t become “Daddy”!

The root of our economic challenges are out of control government spending and regulation. Many of these government programs and entitlements are in place to deal with our social/cultural issues, out of wedlock birth and disintegration of the family being foremost.

Until we insist that the family structure be supported and nurtured, we will not solve our government spending challenges. This is not to imply a pass-a-law or government-decree solution. Quite the contrary, only thru teaching our children responsibility and morality can this be fixed. It will take a generation once we start and we are no where near starting.

A free society cannot thrive without a moral compass and religion is this moral compass.

O’Reilly is right in principle. Aniston’s comeback was funny, though — for those that have not found their Bill O’Reilly ... haha.

At the time Brad made “the switch” Jolie was probably hotter than Aniston. But Jolie had the type of hot that doesn’t age well, she now tends towards the overly skinny semi-skeletal look. Aniston looks almost the same as she did back then, the “girl next door” look tends to age better, it shrivels less, so while she’s still not as hot as Jolie was then she’s a lot hotter than Jolie is now.

“women no longer have to wait for a man to have a baby”.

This is as stupid as “it’s a women’s right to have an abrtion”. It’s no one’s right to kill, and it’s no one’s right to assume a child only needs one parent.

And ask the kid in a couple of years if he or she would like to have a father or not, instead of relying on your own stupid idea of what makes a family.

"me me me"

She is holding out for "prince charming" and yet willing to receive a total stranger's sperm.

Thank you. How is this woman wealthy???? She cannot act, she is outwardly miserable, and you can throw a tennis ball in a Joisey mall on any given Saturday and hit a prettier woman.

But for the time being, it can still help you to get other jobs in Hollywood as you will get “off screen” press coverage.

Ask the kids who are adopted by a same sex couple when they ever “consented” to be in an alternative lifestyle.

Wow. She really digs deep. So basically this is her defense, the provision of options science has provided. "..but for those who've not yet found their Bill O'Reilly, I'm just glad science has provided a few other options."

Well stated. Thank you. Apparently, she thinks women are looking for Prince Charming too as indicated in the article. Her head is full of air.

What's changed is that people think it's a good idea despite copious evidence to the contrary.

She’s a left-wing, siliconized Airhead.

I think she and her boyfriend were harrassing one of Bush II’s daughters in a pub years ago.

She’s scum and as appealing as Katie Couric, another left-wing airhead whose popularity can only be attributed to the dumbing down of America.

DrSeruzawa smiles and stockpiles a bit more gold, ammunition, food and other staples and waits for the inevitable.

As Ayn Rand said: “Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that is does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.”

Well, we live in a looter society with a govt that is now simply a prate organization, plundering the private sector for paychecks and fat retirements. Every govt agency is completely incompetent. It’s only a matter of time with economic reaching critical mass.

Popular culture is entirely evil with empty-headed idiots like Aniston and “rape will be legal” Cameron Diaz leading the way. A federal judge can decide that religious people are all dangerous because they are against homosexuality and he only gets cheers from the media.

Get out of the big cities. These sick and twisted looters will come to kill you and steal all you have when the govt checks stop coming. Really. If you live in LA or Frisco or NY or any other major metropolitan area you are screwed. You might stand a chance in flyover country. You will have no chance in liberalsville against the marauding gangs.

Right.

If given a choice, we all know what the answers are. Well, almost all of us.
