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."





















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.

Barrack is the one who thinks he's Jesus, the Liberals are just trying to draw attention away from his comments.

I enjoy his show, but I wish he would allow others to finish a sentence before he butts in with his analogy. It seems to me that when someone else's view is in disagreement with his or he knows he can't keep up the dispute, he keeps butting in and stops them from going any further. If you ask a question Bill, let the person finish answering it.

I have concluded that no matter what O'Reilly or other conservatives say or don't say for that matter is always taken out of context. It is the way it is... any little thing and boom. Meanwhile, you have liberals saying the most outragous things and they don't put it in the media because it sounds ridiculous and they know it.
He is doing well because he is doing what he does best, maybe if MSNBC did there job they would be #1.

Like all the LIBERAL PRESS you take what Bill says out of context and try to make it something it isn't. Of course anyone that has an open mind about him knows that even though he leans to the right "especially on religious issues" he also tries to show both sides of the issues much more then all of the other networks compared. To bad some of your viewers don't like shows that try to be fair and do the right thing. That is one of the reasons our country is going down the tubes the way it is. It is only a matter of time till we are under the thumb of the EU and are just a member state. Then all CONSERVATIVE NEWS MEDIA will be off the air anyway. Thanks!!!

O'Reilly is one true American. We don't have many true Americans in government anymore or even in business. 63,000, 000 dolts voted for THE MESSIAH, the man who says he is a Man of the World, not an American. The American hating lefties always love to jump on True Americans like O'Reilly and Hannity. Why don't you traitors just move to some other part of the world; like the South Pole.

What are the standards on being a true american?
Is it a learned behavior or something taught in the schools or by our parents?
Please let me know so I can see if I fit in!

They say a mind is a terrible thing to not use until you speak it. I'm glad someone isn't afraid to speak it. Bill is right in 99% of what he says. People just don't like the truth and that is the real shame here. Tell it like it is Bill!

You people in the left wing media need to get a life. Is the news so boring that you have to make a story up about what Bill O'Reilly said? He is a breath of fresh air in the news. No wonder the newspapers are declining and going bankrupt. Maybe you should start getting in touch with main stream America. You guys are out of touch! Why not concentrate on the associations of our next President. Now there is a story but why do that? We wouldn't want the left wing to be tarnished. Boy - a guy like Congressman Foley can sink the Republicans but a scandal like the governor of Illinois means nothing. I hope you all like the next fours years. You'll deserve it!

Why are so many smart people falling for all the us against the liberals or against the other stations that Foxnews is dishing out?
It's like poor us.....we're trying to do good and everyone else is evil!!
It's the same trick that people like Jim Jones did to their people!!
Wake up and see for yourself before it's too late!
View the show but don't drink ALL the kool-aid!

If everyone is so against GOD what difference does it make. I love Bill. It has gotten so they take everything apart someone says. Others say what they want and it is ignored, go figure nutty world.
