Yes, I like his moral outrage. The problem with moral outrage, though, is that it can blind you and you need to be very careful that what you think is moral really is. How do we know this?

Edit: This=that what we think is moral is moral.

Hope that helps. :D

Yes, Bill is a hoot. But, it seems, he is beginning to get full of himself as his pop culture popularity continues to grow.

I used to, but lately he seems to be much more of an ass/full of himself. Although mabey he was all along and it just finnaly started to grate on me.

He had a Libertarian on once, and I was like "wow! mainstream press talking to a libertarian" so I watched. He didn't let the guy finish a single sentance. And he had several flat out logical-flaws in his argument.

Bill is the man. I love watching his show. I usually watch Hannity and Colmes also which comes on right after. Two great shows back to back.

A few years ago Oreilly was one of the most Informative shows on televison. Now It seems like more and more he spends his time lecturing guests.


Hannity and Colmes is however an awesome show.

Yeah, he is definitely getting a little bit too full of himself.

Not to mention all the moral crap he spews now. I honestly don't care about dirty dancing, etc. Some moral issues are good for discussions, but when he tries to tell parents how to raise their kids he steps over the line (even if he is right).

Not long ago I watched the show religiously, now I usually flip around when he starts his lecturing.

By the way, his new segment at the end of the show stinks. :disgust:

He's right most of the time. Maybe if parents listened to people like O'Reilly kids wouldn't be killing each other at the rate they are.

If you have a chance to read his book, take the opportunity to do so, it's an excellent read.

I realize that, but since I have no children (and if I did I wouldn't allow them to act in that manner anyway) his one-hour parenting lectures get old very quickly.
