Apparently Bill O'Reilly did it!!

[GOLEAFSGO67]

Yup you heard it here first. Mr Bill O'Reilly is being targeted in the media as the one who incited the guy to go kill that Dr Tiller. O'Reilly's conservative rants are being blamed for people taking up arms and committing murder.

What will the Liberal left media think of next!!!

Makes one wonder...for a group that considers themselves the elitist bunch..the smart ones...they sure make stupid statements!!

 

[The LoLRus]

Thats like blaming shootings on the gun companies.

Only person to blame is the killer himself

I don't think it is that simple. Advertising is proven to work. It is proven that if you tell people on TV to do some thing, some will, even if that thing makes no sense. I believe that if someone like O'Reilly demonizes someone on a consistent basis on their show, it makes it more likely that a nutcase would attack the demonized person.

That being said, that does not make him criminally responsible for the attack, and liable to be punished, but chances are that he made the attack more likely to occur. There have to be some limits on free speech, if he was actually urging people to kill someone, that would be going too far. But from what I have heard, he did not do so.

Have you asked one?

I hope the idiots here on terb who call abortion murder feel
some part of blame for the murder of Dr. Tiller.

That is like saying I hope all the people on TERB who hate Americans take some of the blame for 9/11.

I would say that is the most foolish think you have or will ever say but I expect you will prove that wrong.

The fanatics in the bunch have decided it is justifiable homicide to prevent the ongoing murder of many innocents.

Hypocritical, mad and far outside the boundries of what normal society wants/accepts? I sure think so.

Fanatics are not good for any cause.

** oh and Bill's a loudmouth blowhard fool who's so obviously a ratings whore, often wrong on the facts and truly one of the worst things in media today. (jmho...okay not so humble...fairly vehement)

No, it is like saying that the muslim clerics that preach hate against America
shares some of the blame for 9/11. But you would not understand.

MOre like your mind is too narrow to understand that people who view abortion is wrong are against murder also.

O'Reilly does many things I don't like, but he is not an inciter to violence. The only Fox guy I think crosses that line is Glen Beck, who tells people Obama is evil, going to steal your gun, be afraid, and has actually run revolution scenarios with retired military officers on his show. That is irresponsible and likely to make people think they need to kill, as has possibly happened once already. Rush also crossed this line back at the democratic convention last year when he asked people to riot violently and hoped for deaths. Bill has never crossed that line that I'm aware of.

Liberals want it both ways.

For years the Liberals have pushed the boundaries of free speech. They have always said that heavy metal music and gangsta rap and the toxic world of sexualizatiuon is just fine on TV. That it is free speech, and up to parents ot monitor. That x-box shoot em up games and violence on TV is not a problem in todays society.

They can't have it both ways.

If its alright to have gangstas and violence and sex and porn on the mass market.....then surely a wee bit of Bill can't be bad either.

I see a fundamental difference between entertainment presented as art and fiction (music, video games etc) and news organizations claiming they are presenting facts. One it is unreasonable to take literally and base your perception of the world on, the other is supposed to provide precisely that information.

Even if he were, would you go shooting people cause a TV personality told you so??!!!
Thats insane!!

Anyone that acts on what a TV anchor tells you should be locked up indefinitely on general insanity charges

 

[bigshot]

danmand, I think it is you who has shown that he does not understand. And why do you have trouble recognising that someone may have a legitimate opinion that is different from your own? Nobody is all knowing when it comes to this subject.

You seem to feel that there can only be one "correct" line of thinking on this matter. Why not try to understand that others have honest opinions as well, even if it makes you uncomfortable...

No, but if you watching the news and being told the government is stealing your rights and turning your country into a communist dictatorship as Glen Beck does complete with survival tactics, a stupid person (ie someone who thinks fox presents actual news) might decide to fight the war that he was just told is being waged even though it isn't.

Foxnews sometimes has good stuff, I do watch them.

But yes, they spew bullshit also just like CNN does!!
There is no non-biased news source, they all let their own politics get in the way of news

The conservative Christians (evangelicals) aren't called CONVENIENT Christians for nothing.
They pick and choose parts of the Bible that they like and the rest they'll just say, it's not relevant or some other excuse.

Bill O'Reilly is a hypocrite, he said that a girl who was raped and murdered deserved it (along those lines) because of what she wore and where she was at the time.
He's such a good Catholic that Bill.

This is the kind of guy Bill O'Reilly is

Notice how it's always those old white "christian" guys from the right that have issues with their temper?

Agreed. BillO has his moments and the one or two guys that are supposed to be reporters do as well. And CNN was never great and has gotten worse but it is making a more sincere attempt at balanced-bias as opposed to non-biased then its competition. Given that bias boosts ratings non-biased news is impossible in the current capitalist society.
