Granted, I've only read the headline, but wouldn't you be upset if someone called you racist?

Read the actual story rather than just the headline. I'd like to know how you can defend this piece of crap.

I'm not going to defend it.  O' Reilly does make personal attacks on people he doesn't agree with.

But the same can also be said about most media personalities.

It's a common political strategy. He's just really bad at doing it.

I like to stay away from FOX news in general. Mainly because I cant take Glenn Beck and Bill O'Rreilly seriously.

Man would I like to see him debate against Bill Maher, he's the antithesis of O'Reilly, being the first a strong left and the other a die-hard conservative.

And yeah, I can't stand watching O'Reilly, his arguments are usually weak and out of context. In fact, whenever he's in a tight spot, he attacks an aspect of the opposite side that is barely relevant to the topic and deviates from the current one, thus saving him from having to build an inteligent comment or admitting defeat.

I like how we're in the middle of a discussion about FOX News and crazy republicans, and Sean Hannity hasn't been mentioned yet.

Please forgive my baiting.  I just find it a bit interesting is all.

It seems as though this was a failed bait.
