Rapper Chuck D once claimed "They got me like Jesus." And John Lennon infamously compared the Beatles to the holy man from Nazareth. Now the pundit America loves to hate is getting in on the Jesus sound bites.In an interview with NPR this week, O'Reilly discussed how his detractors consider him "evil." To which he retorts, "Some people thought Jesus was evil; they nailed him to a cross."

After O'Reilly threw out the J-word, NPR's Renee Montagne got to wondering if Fox's favorite talking head really thinks he's on the same level as a figure worshipped by over 2 billion people on the planet. "No, but I'm giving you an analogy that's vivid," he finished.
Maybe. Or is this just yet another example of Mr. O'Reilly's up-to-now perfectly successful strategy for gaining attention, drawing high ratings and clocking mad dollars? The interview, after all, was a vehicle to promote his new memoir, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity."

You know right know we have enough problems with the way the econemy is going and the the way people are being out raged from Obama being elected and know it's not over until he gets elected in then "BomB" things are going to be even worse. People already starting to steal food from food banks we defintly don't need someone to compare him self to Christ., right know we shouls keep good thoughts of him and there is only one God and that's that' The people who say there evil are the people of Satan like Bush.

Let's crucify him. Is not that the course of action with whom we disagree. If you do not have the courage, at least let us use some duct tape around the mouth. OH , we must get Clinton and any of those we disagree with. Let's do something with murderers rapists and other criminals instead of some bullshit remark.

Come on give us a break some people just hang on every word looking for something to critcize. If you are a liberal you hate the guy , be honest, no matter what he says. I on the other hand am a conservative, I don't go for everything he says. But come on the guy doesn't think he's Christ, he's a staunch Catholic, he was only making an analogy.

As a Christian, I'm offended by his lack of humility. Yes, he is entertaining. But our Lord and Savior he is not.

Hey Mike! I don't know where your head is? I believe it's up you know what! Just turn on the news!It's not going to be 8 or 12 years,before we have a so-called"Bush like disaster" it's going to start on the 20th of January 2009,with ther new OMBAMA administration, and it's going to be a much bigger disaster then anyone ever dreamed of, and no trying to hide it from the American people by the liberal media is going to cover that up.

So now what, they will use this to bring up the Fairness Doctrine and boot talk radio off the air? Give me a break. O'Reilly is a brilliant talk-show host, interviewer, narrator, and American.

Ditto to Janet's comment and David's response. Some people just don't get it, and some never will.

Janet, You are so spot on! Thanks! I love to watch Bill and I think he is the only one that really gets it right and is fair about it too. I really can't trust the other news stations to tell the truth.

There are those who would find a flaw in perfection, so beating up Oreilly is a given anytime they get the chance. Then again it's the only program for those of intelligence.

he's a legend in his own mind...his ego is bigger than his brain...any most other body parts...sings for his supper and lives for the crumbs rupert murdoch throws him... never learned the meaning of integrity.

Don't care what O'Reilly or anyone else says. If I don't like something, I just change the station. "Nailed to the cross" is a common figure of speech; doesn't bother me in the least.

What F'ing planet are you from? O'Reilly is a neo-racist with the venom of the old KKK.
