The acted like the tough, savvy, today-kind-of-gals they purport themselves to be.

They got all emotional and walked out. They probably had to have a nice big before coming back out on stage

O'Reilly spouting idiot comments designed to inflame, is surprising? You do realize he works for FOS "news", right? That type of commentary is a requirement. If he didn't do that, what would he do for a living?

Actually O'Reilly is a pretty smart and media savy guy. He doesn't mind a good row with the gals and if they want to go all crazy and storm off the set that's fine with him. He gets more attention and they look like the spoiled drama queens.

He's pretty damn smart and held his ground. Those fat cows knew he was right and hated him for it.

Are we talking about yesterday, or the Huff&Puff redirect link in the original post?

If what happened yesterday was the real topic, Bill told no lies, but he didn't tell the whole deal, which is not like him, unless he was setting the bait out for some direction he wanted to go.

I think he left Extremest off of Muslim, for some unknown reason. He has argued not to get extremest muslims and non violent muslims confused with each other.

Joy can hardly disguise her contempt for Bill O'Relly. Even before the argument she was trying to communicate to the audience her disdain for him. And she is about a subtle as earthquake! Even her smile is smug!

It's her show - she created it.

On another note, I was surprised to hear the audience response - which was definitely on the side of O'Reilly and NOT the hosts.

She made a comment last night on her own show, they were comparing O'Reilly and Glenn Beck--she remarked that O'Reilly appears to be more objective, level headed than Glenn Beck but in reality is also a 'Pinhead'. Then the panel bantered about how she neglected to preface the remark with 'alleged'. I took all of this with a grain of salt--another performance however lacking in meeting the goal of entertainment.

For years O'Reilly has earned his keep by being outrageous--'No Spin Zone', etc. I suppose Glenn Beck is worse I don't even try to watch/listen to him.

Pot, meet kettle is about the closest I can come to a comparison.

I wonder how many atheists we have who were raised as Christians. Something is there in that on an average atheists seem to know more about the Bible than most Christians. Comment on that one please.
That may be--I know many Christians that are well-informed on religion.
I would be skeptical of that piece of data--'On average'.

What that actually has to do with my post, I'm not certain.

I still contend that everyone on stage was performing--that is the purpose of the show.

All concerned used the drama to create ratings for their own shows later in the evening. That is how it goes---'What will attract viewers'--perhaps pique the interest of those who post on internet forums.

The 'issue' being discussed didn't matter much.
