Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly argued it is “bogus” to invoke freedom of speech in the debate over the Mohammed Art Exhibit and Contest on Thursday.

I really don’t get Bill OReilly.
He is on the prime, prime spot of the entire day, on the largest news network in America.
Yet he so often expresses things, which are just wrong.
I do not understand why Fox has him, or anyone, on in the evenings.
I believe they should be covering news.
News.
When my mother became a US citizen she was asked if she would forgo any and all allegiance to a foreign power. She became a US citizen by her oath. I believe that any Muslim that is bound by the Koran gives allegiance to a foreign authority/power beyond just spiritual but to ‘rules’ of governance as stipulated in the Koran and defined by others. As such I don’t take dedicated Muslims to have true allegiance to the US. I believe my brother who was killed on Okinawa in WWII and I who served in the Philippines never saw a Muslim fighting for the US. Indeed it is my memory that Muslims actually fought against the US. Only after WWII with increasing US prosperity did the Muslim culture and people come into the US like the proverbial camel.
I DVR Special Report, The Kelly File, and Kennedy over on FBN. The Special Report panel is usually very good, especially Stephan Hayes. Kelly has beautifully illustrated the reason why Garland was and is so important. Kennedy is just funny. Hannity? ….meh...
Someone here gets it. Thanks.
Piss Christ, Book of Mormon, and this draw Mohammed contest are all legal and protected by law.
All are mean spirited mocking against someone’s religion. If this contest is so great, I hope you liked Piss Christ and Nazi cartoons of Jews. I don’t. Those things are all against my religion. They are all protected by freedom of speech but all are morally evil.
Americans need to know the hair trigger murderous tendencies of the Muslims in this society. Serrano did not get a beat down because despite all the screaming over “tax payer funding by the Humanities wing of the National Endowment of Arts...we grumblingly recognized free speech. A free speech event did draw out a murderous pair of thugs who were not interested in recognizing our Constitutional principles, they just wanted to push Shariah on us. So what! Even if the event wasn’t held, some other trumped up insult will occur and the shooting will commence! ISIS says that they have other trained operatives in this country. Good now we have confirmation of it that gets the Obama junta off the track of “right wingers being the most dangerous groups in America”!
We do have reason to fear, never mind the so called provocation argument. We have intemperate people in this nation with an intemperate ideology willing to kill over a ‘picture”! Your “reprisal” arguement sounds a little on the “sniveling” side. A beat down is one thing...murder is something else and these guys wanted to kill.
Twin towers, Pentagon and PA countryside should have been more than sufficient.
Don’t look at insulting another’s religion by whether or not you follow or respect it. Would it be ok to laugh at Tibetan Buddhists? Orthodox Jews?
I like what Pam Geller has to say about what she did and I see her point. She was legally right to do what she did. And since Piss Christ is basically LAUDED in the press for its free speech rights, so should this be.
But morally it was wrong, if you feel that morally Piss Christ is wrong.
Abortion is fully legal in most places and can be protected by law. Even late term abortion. That doesn’t make it morally right.
You have an unrealistic expectation of what Fox News should be. Fox News has less to do with broadcasting news in the traditional Cronkite fashion than providing provocative infotainment venues replete with cleaved info babes, drama queens, and bloviators. Fox news is a daily circus show with a little serious reporting thrown in between shouting matches. That’s the business model, and it works.
Nice work, Bill. There is always a cushy gig open for you at Al Jazeera.
“But morally it was wrong, if you feel that morally Piss Christ is wrong.”
It would be morally wrong IF Muslims were not beheading non-muslims and Muslims were not trying to impose their laws on non-Muslims.
” thall shalt not take the Lords name in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless, he who takes the Lord’s name in vain.”Exodus 20
Ummm, out side of Christ and his forgiveness, there is a penalty listed for taking God’s name in vain. Even saved by grace...”shall we sin, Heaven forbid!”!
We are a very sick nation right now.
God help us.
“All are mean spirited mocking against someone’s religion. If this contest is so great, I hope you liked Piss Christ and Nazi cartoons of Jews. “
You missed the whole point of their contest. I was not to mock Islam, but to lay a line in the sand that Muslims cannot dictate by violence what non-Muslims can and cannot do.
We are Free to do that.
Go opine that o’reilly
Just saying Jesus Chris is Lord was enough to get one’s head cut off in Iraq by these folks. We understand about “politeness” and not wanting to offend folks. But get your head out of the quicksand of politeness...these folks will kill out of the slightest provocation!
That's their problem that their souls are so dark, not mine, it doesn't affect my faith one iota, so I just ignore it.
And if you truly want to oppose these things, that is the best course to take, simply ignore it. It will deny those who do these things what it is they are looking for, attention.

“But morally it was wrong, if you feel that morally Piss Christ is wrong.”
What moral wrong did she do? No I think she took the truth about Islam and rubbed our nose in it and our normalcy biased complacency tries to kick back; the fact that they tried to kill her adds the obnoxious odor to what our nose was rubbed in!
Yell about immorality all you wish but it’s hard to get the stink out of your nose...isn’t it! You are nothing but an infidel to them no matter what you do to “fig leaf” your self!
