1. what a douche

gotta love double standards.

[obiwan]

36. That's "Douchebag". As in: O'Reilly is a "douchebag".

[SarahB]

2. He's happy with people stuffed in the closet?

Dr. Berman kicked his butt. My daughter is a student at a large high school. She has strait and gay friends. I can't even relate to what his problem is as his thought process is so not on par with mine. It's just backwards and illogical.

Good for those young women. I'm glad we live in a time when people can be out and be happy.

[A HERETIC I AM]

3. Why is it that Americans just don't get it?

If you don't think like Billo, you're wrong.

It is as simple as that.

The country would be a lot better off if we all just agreed with his O'Loofahness.

What a dick.

[Reader Rabbit]

4. When the Hell was Bill-o a high school teacher?!?

Jesus, his poor students!

[Jade Fox]

5. I bet Bill's students spent a LOT of time.....

doing things just to annoy him because he's so sanctimonious. Of course, he's projecting that universally. :eye:

[The Wizard]

6. How can Billo

be seen as anything other than a shill for bigots? Billo isn't a bigot, he just plays one on TV.

[begin_within]

13. I think they're still trying to hang onto the whole "gay" thing as a wedge issue, to

fire up their "base" of Christian evangelicals, who agree with him, and to keep it going as a motivator to get them out to the polls. I think that's the reason they won't let it go.

[sakabatou]

7. BWHAHAHAH!!

[Fridays Child]

8. Billo wrote "Kids Are Americans Too" for gay kids? What a great guy!

Sure you did, Billo. Sure you did. :eyes:

[lame54]

9. maybe the kids "tweek(ed) the adults" because...

...the adults are fucking wrong - it's a new generation and time to put this prejudice to rest
http://youtube.com/watch?v=9ucqDoP2FZw

[fenriswolf]

10. oh i yeah loved that

i knew plenty of high school kids who only preteneded to be gay in order piss off their parents *eye roll*

[Eric J in MN]

15. Bill O'Reilly probably meant that the kids voted for the couple to tweak the adults..

...not that the couple is pretending.

[Labors of Hercules]

17. Are those the same "gay kids" he said can't be gay because they're minors? nt

Does he realize how much he contradicts himself?

[Fridays Child]

20. That seriously takes a lot more brain cells than he owns.

[lame54]

11. i'd have to agree - they are a cute couple

[fightthegoodfightnow]

12. O'Reilly Did Indeed Get Slapped Down

Thank God I'm not 'normal' like Bill O'Reilly.

[scarface2004]

14. i need to the see the video...

of a couple of butch you know what kicking bill's ass in the parking lot!!!!

[rAVES]

16. you're a bigot mr O'Reilly, and fuck off with your stupid Book...

[TheUniverse]

18. "you gotta respect their point of view" O'reilly

This is the state of the media right now. The media tell the guests they have to respect bigoted points of view... Also if any lesbian gets an award, there is a hidden agenda behind it. I bet when O'reilly likes to play with his loofah in certain airport public restrooms

[Tab]

19. I couldn't get past the first third

What a fuckwad.

[Counciltucky]

21. You were smart.

The second half of the clip was basically O'Reilly continuously talking over her and spouting some of the most screwed-up logic I've ever seen. How the woman maintained a calm and cheery demeanor I'll never know.

[Chulanowa]

32. You call that calm and cheery?

I call it terse and barely-restrained. She was doing everything in her power to not shout him down. The smile turned into a plaster rictus.

That woman was PISSED. That she had the restraint to sit there and deal with it is commendable - I would have been unable to keep from ending the "interview" then and there.

[Counciltucky]

38. I'd have had the "interview" ended for me...

If that were me:

ME: "Hey why don't you shut your trap and fuckin' listen for once, O'Reilly?"
O'REILLY: "Cut his mic."

[Sam Ervin jret]

22. Bill-O, like many, can't tell the difference between what is "normal" and "natural"

To be the Norm or normal is a mathematical concept (I doubt Bill wants to get into that) and has only to do with the probability of any given thing. It is not the norm to be red haired, but for many people it is very natural. It is normal and natural to be a dark haired heterosexual. That does not make any judgment about it. What does "normal" or even "natural" have to do with judging a thing "good" or "bad."

I am so tired of trying to get this simple thought into the minds of the closed minded. Just because a thing is natural, (say a herpes virus) does not make it "good" or even "bad." It is normal to lose your eyesight as you get older. That does not make it necessarily good.

Bill, drop the "it's not normal" or "it goes against nature" argument. It's a false argument. It is only used to hide the real reason you do not want homosexuals to have the freedom to live as they will. You fear. You fear everything. Your fear is so thick I can smell it through electronic media, miles of geography and even through time and space.

How will you and all your little minions live? What if all the simple rules you thought had been written down(in perfect English or at least perfectly translated English) are actually more complicated than you first thought? What if they take interpretation, thought, meditation, self awareness, self examination, and an honest assessment of your own character?

No wonder you're frightened.

[Cybergata]

23. Hey, they really are a cute couple!

O'Reilly doesn't have a clue. Thank goodness kids are getting it! It is great that there are High Schools where being Gay is no big deal. As a teacher for 33 years, I have seen too much pain in children because they aren't Bill O'Reilly's idea of "the norm."

[Goat or Panic]

24. How...Totally...Cool

Not O'Really, but the couple.
How cool is it that they have each other and are accepted by their classmates.
Wish high-school was like that when I was a teen.

As far as what's "normal" in Billo's book? I seem to remember some taped phone calls between him and an unwilling subordinate, where he was sodomizing himself with a vibrator and fantasizing about massaging her with falafel.

Yeah, that's "normal."

[sasquatch]

25. That is a hot couple

I know,:spank:bad sasquatch.

[GOPBasher]

26. Bill O' makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

He says that they're "flauting their sexuality." She asks, "what about a straight couple voted cutest," and he never has an answer for it.

[lumpy]

43. The jackass assumes the girl's relationship is sexual,

while it might be merely a loving relationship. But of course that is what Bill is obsessed with...sex..with a falafel.. phone ..whatever

[TheBaldyMan]

27. Bill'O is an old man - and it shows

thankfully kids today are less homophobic than their parents' generation. BO can't handle the fact that younger people are less bigoted than he is.

[burbank_spiffers]

28. I cannot believe how...

(pardon my rude language, but...) how fucking stupid O'Reilly is. I used to be very homophobic, but that was in highschool before I even knew anyone gay. Now that I'm older and wiser I see that gay rights is the civil rights movement of my era.

I just don't understand how 'Culture Warrior" billo doesn't get it. People don't choose to be gay, and the sooner people realize that, the sooner we won't be trying to legislate against gays.

[begin_within]

30. I think they're just trying to keep it alive as a "hot button issue" to get their base to the polls

They are using it as a polarizing issue, even though it turns many voters away from them, it draws their "base" of evangelical Christians out to vote - if there is a gay marriage ban on the ballot, that will get them out to the polls, and while they're there, they'll probably vote for the Republicans on the ballot. That's the only reason, I think, why the won't let go of it.

[FedUp_Queer]

29. WHY?

Is a heterosexual couple about "two people being love" but a gay couple about "what people do in their bedroom?" I think we should just lobotomize Bill O'Reilly...oops...too late!

[Bicoastal]

31. I seriously understand Mr. Bill O'Reilly's argument, though.

He's saying "Why should these kids put themselves at risk for criticism by a homophobic, intolerant culture led by bigoted media demogauges like me?

After all, If they didn't act so outwardly gay, they wouldn't have to face people such as myself bullying them so much..."

Makes perfect sense :sarcasm:

[begin_within]

35. You're right - homophobia and bigotry is still common, and people can't just

assume that everyone is going to be tolerant and accepting of them.

[uberllama42]

33. I say hear, hear!

I agree absolutely with what Bill said at the very end about legalizing drugs because criminalization has not been effective. I know he was being sarcastic, but he hit on an important aspect of the whole argument. He has this idea stuck in his head that certain things are just wrong, even though they don't hurt anybody, and that the government should use its money and resources to prevent those things from happening.

[robbedvoter]

34. Sex is innapropriate if a loofa is not involved - Dildo Really

Look who's making the rules!

[Limelight]

37. The stink of hypocrisy is thick whenever Bill'O is around

I can't believe anyone and everyone that comes in contact with this idiot doesn't pass the hell out from the scent of pure, unadulterated BS everytime they around him. What a hypocritical moron!

Private conduct should be done in private. Really Bill? If this couple had been heterosexual you wouldn't even be talking about this. HomoSEXUAL... HeteroSEXUAL... Identifying anyone as a couple is an automatic acknowledgment of the SEXUAL nature of their relationship dumbass! Therefore if it's inappropriate display of sexuality in that high school whether the couple be hetero or homo sexual. It actually sounded like that's what the High School tried to do, getting rid of the cutest couple moniker all together. I imagine that they got backed down by the utter and couple transparency of the reason they wanted to do so.

And parents don't wanted because it's harder to be a homosexual in this society. Well damn, it's harder to be black in this society, a fact I can tell you from experience. Gee, I guess I'll just stop being black. What a novel idea. </:sarcasm:>

I love it that he thinks it's reasonable that the way to combat that difficulty in being homosexual in American society is for every homosexual to just shut up and stay in the closet. Awesome, a national don't ask don't tell policy. Or maybe instead we'll just identify all the gays, have them where some kind of emblem like a pink triangle or something on there clothes so the rest of us straights know to stay away from the gay cooties. Heck, I think somebody's already tried something like that. Wonder how it worked out?

He points out that gay teens are at a higher risk to abuse drugs and alcohol. Hmmmmm... Wonder if that has anything to do with parents and society as a whole teaching them from the time their young that they should loathe and hate the very thing that they eventually will become? Hell I might drink if or smoke a little somethin' somethin' if society tried to tell me that I was less than because of something about myself I could control. Actually, now that I think about... Shit I need a beer.

Thing is, if this high school class, even if they are on a certain level trying to stick it to the administration, can show respect and acknowledge these two girls for their relationship that tells me that down the road it might not be so hard to be homosexual in America. That's nothing but a good thing and these two girls are to be commended from their courage. They knew full well they'd take sh*t from closed minded people (though I doubt a national talking head ever crossed their mind in that regard), but stood and announced proudly who they were.

Good for them.

[Mozcram]

39. congrats to her

on being able to retain composure while being bullied like that
o'reilly is a nightmare; his presence on the airwaves is an affront to decency and morality

[Prophet 451]

40. I actually think O'Lielly's first arguement was partly right

Yes, teens do vote for various things as a way of poking at the adults (the student body at my college once ran a can of spam as student rep on the grounds they didn't listen to us anyway). That's partly accurate. It's possible that part of the vote for this couple was for the sake of tweaking the adults.

The rest, Bill is full of shit as usual.

[progressoid]

41. Not slapped hard enough. His viewers will agree with him and see him winning this "argument"

[DutchLiberal]

48. His viewers also think George Bush is the best president in history.

[lumpy]

42. I love it, BIllo says high school kids have a"chip on their

shoulders". This from an assh*le who carries around a huge chip on his shoulders every day of the week.

[DS1]

44. I can't wait till this mindset and people like Bill O'Reilly finally fucking die

[NMMNG]

45. What a moran

Straight couples can do as they choose, but gay couples have to stay in the closet or they're "flaunting" and deserve to be bullied. :eyes:

[DUlover2909]

46. There shouldn't be anything like a cutest couple vote in school.

The schools should be about teaching our children academics and preparing them for college and life as an adult. When I was in high school I disagreed with all of the popularity contests like homecoming queen, prom queen, and all the crap the school made us vote on for the yearbook. It's all a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. The kids who should be acknowledged are the ones that perform well in their academics or sports or behavior or effort.

[Apollo11]

49. You are right - popularity contests exclude less popular kids.

I think America is unique in having high school yearbooks.

I am not aware of any other country that has a similar tradition. Maybe Canada?

I know that Class President is based on the British tradition of electing a Head Boy (or Head Girl). But part of the idea is to represent all the students towards the school management. So at least in theory - it's not all about "being popular".

[DutchLiberal]

47. Did he just compare homosexuality to drugs?

:wtf:
