Jesus Christ-No, Bill O'really - Superstar


I say beat him with a whip-one lash for each falsehood told - put him before a crowd of sane people and let us judge him.

"The O’Reilly haters are pretty much the people that have no idea what I do. And I like that — I mean, I don’t have any problem with people disliking me, and I’ll tell you why. I’m not comparing myself, but who was the most hated person in Judea 2,000 years ago?"

"Many, many loved him, but just as many despised him," he added. "They’re always going to do that. If you speak your mind, you’re going to have some who like you and some who hate you."

Glen Beck, Michelle Bachman, Sarah, Ted Nugent, and all those that feel prosecuted for their "faith". I swear these people see themselves dipped in some sort of Holy Light and if one speaks out against them, they feel like the prophets of old being vilified for their standing with God.

Juanita Jean is not amused by O'Reilly http://www.juanitajean.com/2014/03/24/oh-my-what-a-small-man-in-such-a-big-body/

Ya know, Bill O’Reilly just ain’t my idea of a fine man.

I had a friend who was all of 5’4? inches fully stretched out. When he passed to that great baseball game in the sky, the preacher said, “Only God could put such a big man in such a small body.” It was true.

Bill O’Reilly’s preacher will have to say the exact opposite.

So, his latest is that he doesn’t mind the haters. And I guess that’s true because his mirror is full of them. But the reason he doesn’t mind the haters is …

“The O’Reilly haters are pretty much the people that have no idea what I do. And I like that — I mean, I don’t have any problem with people disliking me, and I’ll tell you why. I’m not comparing myself, but who was the most hated person in Judea 2,000 years ago?”


Well, I thank Bill for adding the not comparing himself part because it sure sounds like he’s comparing himself. It’s kinda like the “I’m not a racist, but …” thing.

So, let play it this way: the more Bill O’Reilly hates on Barack Obama, the more Barak Obama becomes like … oh, I dunno … like Jesus?

Bill O’Reilly is such a small man in such a big body that it’s a wonder that he doesn’t rattle when he walks around.

gave him really good writers, and gave him a show.

His religious beliefs are almost like a parody of your Irish buddy's dad.

"You gotta go to church once a week, but watch out for that fag priest. Now go buy me some cigarettes."

I guess it matters who "hates" you, Bill. Now, as I see it, the people who "hated" Jesus the most were the people in power at the time.

Perhaps I'm off base here, but I think maybe the fanatically rich and powerful love you just fine. And while the present day "little" people loathe you, and you bask in their hatred, it seems to me it was the poor and downtrodden that support your main man Jesus.

A little difference there.
