Godless Americans going to be on Bill O'Reilly

[Archae]

I was flipping through the channels, and I heard a brief blurb on Fox where Bill O'Reilly said the "Godless Americans" are going to on his show.

I hope they tear him a new one.

1. Is he talking about Athiests, or liberals? It's hard to tell with him.

2. "Godless Americans"

It's a group of humanists that held a march in Washington DC a couple years ago.

3. We're gonna be treated to a little extra SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP, I

think.

TURN OFF HIS MIC!

[Archae]

8. Nope.

No shut ups, but OhREALLY acted like an absolute condescending moran.
The usual.

[MadProphetMargin]

12. What? Is the man sick, or something? It just ain't O'Rielly without a

tantrum.

Jeebus, Bill, if yer heart ain't in it, why bother?

[JanMichael]

14. I was there.

It was a blast.

15. Front row at the stage

Me and my crew were up in the front and slightly to the right. Where were you?

[JanMichael]

16. Mostly to the Left in reference to the stage.

My friends and I were having fun with the counter "protestors". I met Infidelguy and we hung out for a bit whilst making fun of fundies.

[Az]

17. I held off

from playing with the fundies for the most part. But towards the end when they came into the commons area as we were leaving I went off a bit on one that was spewing hate.

I always get a kick running the Luke 6:30 bomb on them and getting them all confused.

[JanMichael]

18. It was a great afternoon. Plenty of great speakers and music.

Loved it.

We spent the evening at a bar that had many of the speakers there, it was pretty freakin' cool, even met the owner of a few anti-Bush sites.

[Az]

19. We definately need more events like that

Something positive that can bring us together and get us seen in the public.

[Archae]

20. I have the video file

Of when the "reverend" from Landovebaptist gave his speech poking fun at hellfire-and-brimstone preachers.

It is simply howlingly funny.

[JanMichael]

21. He was AMAZING! Holy crap, nearly laughed my ass off.

It was truly one of the best events I've ever attended.

[Az]

22. The true beauty was

when he out fundied the fundies.

4. Godless Americans

Is an attempt to reconcile a number of Atheist factions in the US. American Atheists generated a bunch of bad blood within the atheist community and splinter groups took off all over the place.

Godless Americans was an attempt to bring together the various factions to march on Washington in Nov 2002. We marched. We got shouted at by a few fundies. We shouted at George (despite him not being there at the time). And we had a good time.

5. I don't think he cares to differentiate

Between the two. As long as liberal="godless communist",the mantra of the "New McCarthyists" as I like to call them,continues in its never-ending,shrill,monotonous fashion. One thing about it though,it is certainly predictable.

6. Odd that they have an atheist objectivist in charge of the economy

Allen Greenspan was a follower of Ayn Rand. He was a contributing writer for the magazine The Objectivist. Guess not all of us atheists are commies.

11. Typical neocons

They will use anyone that can increase their profit margin and screw the little people without using any vaseline.Vaseline costs money,you know?

[Archae]

7. O'Reilly distorted their positions, was condescending, dismissive, a jerk

In other words, the usual from, OhREALLY, right-wing crap.

[Az]

9. Any details

The GF has the remote and I can't bring myself to watch Oreally. So can you give any details?

[Archae]

10. Basically...

OhREALLY said they want to remove religion from the country, they really don't count because "there's only 30 million of them," just the usual from right-wingers.

[Az]

13. Sigh

Maybe we can chip in and by the right a dictionary. Secular means religious neutral. Atheism means no belief in god. Perhaps if we demonstrated to them what pushing atheism would be like instead of demanding neutrality they would get it.

23. Soulless fascists are know match for

atheistic realists.

24. Trying to push a wedge issue.

Sounds like it didn't work.
