What is the point of “prayer”? Are the anti-Semitic “Christian” kids going to run the prayers for the Jewish and Islamic students? The hypocrisy is that the poor kids are already dead. Praying isn’t going to bring them back. How about addressing the issues instead of burying heads in false religious display that accomplishes nothing? How about these Fux at Fox preaching what Jesus taught instead of the very corrupt Roman Catholic Church/Religion and the rest of very anti-Jesus “Christian” right wingers that are part of the problem. The world and the country would be a better place if the warped perversion of Jesus’ existence that rules this the sheep of this country went away. But man invents religions, so we’re stuck with superstition running the show.

“The state has no right to say how much religion any American can practice. Itâs our right, and it is the first one our Founding Fathers protected.” This is not an issue of practicing religion. It is an issue of religion imposed on people by the state. Glenn intentionally misstates the issue, like most of Fox, for personal gain.
Glenn Beck apparently hasn’t read or doesn’t agree with Thomas Jefferson.
Glenn commits some blatant contradiction and fallacy in the above article, but I’m hoping someone else here will pick up on it. Your turn.

To Fox, the “Christian” newspeak outlet: Present Allen West with a copy of the Bible, with all of Jesus’s and the rest of the Bible’s instructions on social welfare highlighted. You can start early in the Old Testament, read about privieledged people who are like “bovine cattle” while others starve.
I dare you.

Privatizing education will restrict quality education to an elite minority. This IS the Republican agenda. They want a wealthy elite ruling over a poor population – like where we’re headed now. Don’t believe me? They talk about it behind closed doors, but that is the agenda. Democracy, “America”, human rights, etc., is just hype. And a lot of Americans are suckers for it.
I have posted this web address before, never heard so much as a comment from NewsHounders. Find out who Nizkor is, and why the Fallacy Tutorial also became a popular software program some time ago. Want to refute Bill O’Reilly? Logic is the best weapon. It is critically lacking among much of the voting public, and against Fox policies. They are masters of illogic, propaganda, deception for a sinister motive.

This grandiose, martyr-complex disorder excuse for a priest should just go ahead and get on the cross and crucify himself. This hypocrite is blind to the infinitely greater killers of children – poverty, hunger, abuse, neglect, trauma from priestly pedophilia, toxic pollution, obesity, and so on. This attention-seeking, right-wing anti-Jesus p.o.s. needs to STFU.

“Moral hazard”? Did this crooked spokesjerk for corruption consider the immorality of all the fraud and manipulation of good people and their mortgages? It’s like Fox truly wants Evil to prevail and will lie through their dentures to support corruption in this disaster of a housing crisis. Fox defends crime again.

1. The church is functioning as a major employer. It is a business. Government funds, government subsidy, tax exemptions, etc.
2. Since the church is politicking, take away its tax-exempt status.
3. If the KKK runs a major hospital and it is against their (professed Christian) religion to extend insurance coverage to African-American employees, do they have that right?
4. Theocracy is not freedom of religion. The church is not a person. Well, corporations are people now…
5. Hoping to see the freedom of religion fallacy that the right wing is promoting discussed here more.

Frank, ready for the logic? Point 1. There are no insurance policies that provide for the purchase of illicit drugs. This is health and right to equal coverage issue by an employer that receives money from the government. The place of business is not a church. 2. ditto. 3. Your take on what employers can dictate in insurance packages is not based in fact and reality. Truth would be better here. Ditto for the JH claim. Freedom of employers to impose their religion… does this include excluding blacks, the disabled, non-Catholics? You claim to take a conservative view, yet you advocate group authoritarian power over individual rights. Corporations are not people. St. Alphonsus Hospital is an employer, not a church. This is the United States, not a country under Roman Catholic rule.
Your apples to oranges nonsense didn’t work. An insurance policy is not a vacation package. Health rights, especially gender-based ones that affect women’s health (was your vasectomy or Viagra covered?) are not remuneration. Try logic instead of fallacy next time.

Bill misstates what Occupy is, and it is decidedly both inaccurate, and dishonest. There are some minority elements of Occupy that are anarchist (very small percentage of clingers), and some that are far-left. There is a significant number of fairly mainstream people and issues within both OWS, and the 99%.
He actually contradicts himself by saying that this incident makes OWS look bad, because the implication in the sentence is that some measure of OWS looks good. And he is right in one way, and here in Denver we saw it. There is a segment of Occupy that makes good Occupiers and 99%’s look bad. Why? Because guilt by association is both an acceptable but fallacious way to think for both Bill O. and Fox Newspeak sheep.
Journalism is honest, above all, Bill.

Jesus did not oppose the tax system of the day, rather opposed corruption in tax collection and heavily taxing the poor. You can find this message in the Old Testament, too, especially one also studies the social structure of the times. Also, the Roman Catholic church is exempt from the taxation that many businesses are not. His own tax structure, and his employer is grossly unfair. Get out there and be a Mother Teresa, Padre!

Fisher should look at the rest of Fox’s anti-Christal, I mean, anti-Jesus hypocrisy. (I’ll leave the social justice references in the Old Testament for another post, the ones that Fox and most of right-wing “Christianity” leave out of the mix perpetually.)
Jesus was a liberal. Does Fox know why he leaned Essene instead of Pharisee?
