Bill O'Reilly Given The Boot

After Bill O'Reilly's careless, and I would suggest immoral, comments concerning Shawn Hornbeck the "National Center for Missing and Exploited Children" have canceled his invitation to be the keynote speaker at a Florida event.

Five thumbs up for the people at the "National Center for Missing and Exploited Children". They have given O’Reilly the boot! Someone who holds the views expressed by Bill O'Reilly concerning a kidnapped 11-year-old child (who we now know was raped on a regular basis) should never be applauded. He not only should be booted from this event, FOX News should fire him.

Spread the news far and wide, Bill O'Reilly has been given the boot!:applause: :applause:

The following is a clip from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's show. In this clip he plays O'Reilly's comments and interviews CourtTV's Catherine Crier. Very good....CLICK HERE.

 

==see the clip at the bottom of the OP from MSNBC. His comments are featured there. You can also do a search on Youtube and find video of his show from that night.

 

==Actually I will turn against anyone who blames the victim of a serious crime. Bill OReilly's comments were immoral and, btw, were not taken out of context. I heard him make simular comments about Hornbeck on at least two different occasions. This is really a shame because he has done such good work pushing Jessica's Law. However with this one statement he undid all the good he had done. He allowed his mouth to disqualify him (1Cor 9:26-27). To defend OReilly, and his comments, is something no Christian should do.

 

Then maybe it is time to turn off FOX News over this as well? I will think about it.

 

==I was listening to OReilly on FOX News (XM Radio) when he made the statements. I later heard him repeat the statements in a different context. MSNBC took nothing out of context nor did they twist anything he said. He said what he said. He rejected, without any scientific reason or background, stockholm syndrome and stated that more would come to light to show that Shawn Hornbeck "liked" his captivity since he did not have to go to school. Of course OReilly's comments were ignorant when he made them now, after the charges have been filed (some 69 sodomy charges) and other details have been released, OReilly's comments don't only look ignorant, foolish, and cold hearted, they also look immoral. There is no defense for OReilly's comments, none whatsoever. He has offered no apology and has, in his usual style, tried to blame the left for his troubles. Well I am as right wing as they come and I, with others, was sickened by his comments. Even though I have watched his show almost daily, and listened to his radio show on XM several times a week, I have turned him off 100%. I will not give that man my ratings. I hope, and I pray, that OReilly is off the air ASAP.

==He has also done great work "in the past" trying to get Jessica's Law passed. However all of that great work was undone by the comments he made. This child (11 years old) was kidnapped at gun point off the street, raped, abused, isolated, and held for four years (until he was 15). For anyone to suggest he "liked" any part of that because he did not have to attend school is unexcusable. OReilly's out right rejection of stockholm syndrome was bad enough and displayed his gross ignorance about these matters, but to go further and claim that this child "liked" his captivity. That is going too far, that is crossing the line. Bill OReilly no longer has any credibility on this issue. none at all.

This is simular to what Paul warned about at the end of 1Corinthians chapter 9. There is a danger that, having done great work, a person can cancel all of that out by one stupid act or statement. Any good work OReilly has done in the past is over-shadowed by his statements on this matter.

==Bill OReilly was not, and may I repeat, was not using hyperbole when he made this immoral statement. He made it at least twice, in two different contexts, and was as serious as he could be. He stated that information would come to light that proved Shawn enjoyed his capitivity. Of course no such evidence has, or will, come to light.

==Bill OReilly should hang his head in shame and go hide under a rock for making such stupid and immoral comments. MSNBC, whatever their motive(s), pointed out OReilly's immorality.

No Christian, or any person who is concerned with the victims of violent crime, show defend or make excuses for Bill OReilly. I am tired of people making excuses for these type people simply because they like to watch their tv show and agree with them on other issues. I agree with OReilly on many issues but this was a deal breaker. My agreements with OReilly on other issues is no longer important. When he made this statement I could no longer support him. We should not have unconditional loyalty to these people. Such unconditional loyalty is dangerous. As soon as one of these clowns makes these type of comments they should be off. Period, no questions asked.

 

Nobody is defending the left wing here so your comment is pointless.

Btw even babblers can get it right once and a while. You don't have to be conservative or Christian to realize that OReilly was very wrong.
