Poor Bill O'Reilly. His tender fee-fees were so hurt by a sign saying "Nobody died for our "sins" Jesus Christ is a myth" it's threatening his whole Easter or his whole faith or something. And persecuted Christian Laura Ingraham is suffering right along with him!
Doesn't this sound like grievance mongering?
O'REILLY: If you are in Madison, Wisconsin and you go to the Capitol Building, you may be very insulted this Holy Thursday.
O'REILLY: Fair minded people know that's appalling.
INGRAHAM: Every Christian holiday, we see something like this.
O'REILLY: They want to hate and disparage people like you and me.
INGRAHAM: I am praying for the redemption of the nasty folks over at (Freedom From Religion Foundation). I don't know if it will work or not.
O'REILLY: These people want to insult - and that's what it is - it's insulting. They want to insult people with whom they disagree. And there's no reason for it.
INGRAHAM: The culture is already predominantly atheistic. ...So, they have enormous power, I think, already in the culture that doesn't address religion at all. But that's not enough for them. They want to mock and demean. ...This doesn't surprise me at all. I expect this to happen. ...Why is it always the Christians the only ones that get the mud slung at them? I don't know why it's just Christians.
So what do you think O'Reilly's reaction would be if two African Americans had this discussion about being stopped and frisked by the police for no reason? I think we have a good idea.
Or if two gay people were talking about how there is a talking head pundit who wants to limit their freedom and pursuit of happiness simply because he doesn’t want them to “cluster” or be “commingled” in the same baseball stadium where kids are in attendance?
BOR looks foolish pointing fingers at those who he declares are “grievance mongering”. As this “Factor” segment shows, he is as much a part of the “grievance industry” in this country as anyone else is. So much of his career (and wealth) comes from him pimping his own grievances such as his claims regarding the so-called wars on Easter, Xmas, Christianity, traditional values, white, male privilege, etc. As usual, BOR’s hypocrisy comes shining through. LOL!
