Bill O'Reilly picks on teenage girls

Papa Bigot Bill O'Reilly took some time on his show the other night to attack two teenaged lesbians who were named "Cutest Couple" in their highschool yearbook for having the audacity to be openly gay and not subsequently be stoned to death by their peers.

This guy. Wow. I don't think he realizes just how unattractive hate is.

Laura Berman, Ph.D., on the other hand, is my new effing hero. Watch her instantly defuse every point he makes with genuine grace while making it clear that she finds him monumentally, hilariously stupid.

My favorite bit is when in the same breath he argues that "normal" kids do things like experiment in homosexuality to piss off their parents and that normalizing homosexuality is wrong. Um ... wouldn't that be a good thing, by that logic? To stop rebellious straight kids from experimenting with homosexuality as a means of acting out by demystifying it? He then stresses that he only wants to help gay kids by suggesting that they be declassified as actual human beings, and my head explodes.

Thanks to Queerty for the serve.

    No thank you

    In order to enjoy the good doctor's insight, I'd have to endure O'Reilly. Sorry, I'm just going to have to take your word on this one. You're paid much more than I am to endure watching this creep.

    Anti-Gay Bigot Bill O'Reilly

    Bill O'Reilly is an anti-gay bigot.  He wants gay people to be treated like second-class citizens.  He is becoming more blatant about it.  He covered Brandy and Lupe on his radio show earlier in the day.  Last week on his website there was a story of a male couple out in California being named homecoming princes.   He no longer answers viewer mail about any gay story he does. 

    She had him on the run, she was great.  Her answers were strong, clear, and concise.  Laura has a program on Showtime called Sexual Healing that focuses on issues among couples.

    I actually feel sick. I'm not used to this blatant homophobia on national television... Laura Berman on the other hand should have white lillies thrown at her feet. There are sane voices in America afterall!

    For the first time ever,

    For the first time ever, Bill got me so angry that toward the end of the video I wanted to be violent and break my compuer screen. How frustrating that through his logic, if i even mention my sexual orientation I offend 60% of the population. F*** you Bill. I'm a bisexual man and I have a boyfriend. Call me a bloody gay activist then. *rolleyes* I'd rather be a gay activist than shut up about my identity and cheat on my wife in 40 years with a man.

     

    ps: Dr. Laura was adorable

    This guy is so obviously

    out of touch with mainstream America (and definitely mainstream Canada) that he is very quickly digging himself a very deep grave where we can dump his career into. In a country where freedom of the individual is supposed to be one of the main cornerstones, it is amazing that people like Bill O'Reilly advocate behavioural facism.

    As a human being you cannot date or fall in love with another consenting human being of the same sex.  If you do then you are somehow sick and perverted, not a real human at all. Un-friggin' believable, it is people like him that should be - well never mind.

    Cheers

    I can't decide if my

    I can't decide if my favorite thing about O'Reilly is how insecure he is or how he simply makes facts up. 6% of the population is gay? More like 11% with wiggle room because human sexuality is fairly dynamic. 60% of the country would disagree? That's just a plain lie, nearly half the country approves of civil unions for gay couples and a clear national majority support tolerance and acceptance for the queer community.

    How Can Anyone Take Billo Seriously?

    Come on, folks.  Are you really surprised about Billo's latest claptrap?  The star of the Fox Noise Channel (as good ol' MSNBC competitor Keith Oberman calls it) is so not credible to the mainstream public.  Sadly, he's only believable to his dwindling audience of rabid fans.  I mean, here's a guy that gets off on lesbian sex (check the allegations made in the lawsuit by his former female producer) but has a rabid fear of two men coupling!  Bill O'Reilly only proves that Darwin's theory was spot-on!

    Old Dog, New Tricks

    I seem to remember not some years ago Dr. Laura had her own fling with homophobic remarks, and now it seems she has become the voice of reason.  Old dogs can learn new tricks...at least those with half a brain.  Good job Laura.

    Laura

    I am fascinated to read your comments about Laura Schlesinger. I was one of the group that succeeded in having her removed from radio and television in Canada because of what we believed was her use of hate speech, which is illegal here. But I have not listened to her since then, and I would be very interested in knowing how, in your opinion and observation she has changed.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    yeah these are two different dr. laura's. The renowned "Dr. Laura" is the crazy bitch. This Dr. Laura Berman is somebody I really heart after watching that. Bill O'Reilly is like a fart in a mitten.

    Strange, I don't recall it ever being a matter of choice.

    props to dr. berman

    that was really hard for me to watch because i can't stand bill o'reilly and even though i know logically he's an idiot and wrong the fact that he gets all the airtime he wants and can say all this horrible crap that reinforces what bigots feel it really does get a rise out of me and for the sake of my blood pressure i don't even go there.

    but that was awesome to see her and as much as he tried to bulldoze her (which is his strategy to invite someone on and never let them make their point) she was unflappable, intelligent and succint. that was great.

    and now that i've calmed a bit...

    his whole argument about teenagers doing things merely just to tweak adults is crap. i realize that it's been awhile since i was in high school but the majority of people who get voted for any designation in their high school yearbook, even if they don't win MOST POPULAR, ARE popular. and all this vote shows is that these girls are well-liked and well-known enough by the majority of students that participate in voting and are more tolerant than the generation before them.
