Bill O'Reilly Misses the Point, Yet Again

Last week, Bill O'Reilly commented on The Coolest 8-Year-Old in the World on his TV show. Rather than challenging what the child had to say, he spent the segment speaking with a child advocate debating whether the girl's parents were guilty of child abuse. Here's the clip:



The only point that was addressed by either of these two retards is the girl's assertion that the Republican party is guilty of mass murder. While that might be an exaggeration or simply a conspiracy theory, the girl said a whole lot more and O'Reilly had no response for it.

Maybe even funnier than that is O'Reilly's insistence that the worst parts of the clip weren't aired on his program. I dunno, seems to me that everything important to the message made the cut. One thing that was noticably missing, however, was the little girl calling Bill O'Reilly out by name. Could O'Reilly be that arrogant?

Now, to address the supposed "child abuse." It's not government secret that Bill O'Reilly is a closed-minded idiot that thinks anyone who disagrees with his thinking is less than human. So it should surprise no one to hear that he considers a child being raised liberal to be abused.

There's a reason this video clip became popular on YouTube: plenty of people found it insighful, well-written and most importantly humorous due to the girl's young age. We know that it's very unlikely she wrote the dialogue herself, but we still found it cute because it's a child apparently outsmarting a grown man. I'm sure O'Reilly would have found it plenty funny if the girl had been shitting on someone like Al Franken.

The bottom line is, parents have the right to raise their children with whatever views they please. O'Reilly insists that "forcing or coercing" a child to recite something they don't understand is abusive. If he were truly concerned with that, he would have a major problem with Bill Cosby, who hosted Kids Say the Darndest Things. It's basically the same idea; kids are put on stage and told how to respond for the sake of entertainment. Unless O'Reilly is ready to admit that it's the content of her rant that bugs him rather than the possibility of her exploitation, he should shut the fuck up.

So once again, Bill misses the point and lives his life blissfully ignorant, which would be fine if he were just muttering to himself. Although, unless you're watching The O'Reilly Factor purely for laughs, you're probably a lost cause anyway...
