Colbert is on the COMEDY CHANNEL - that should give anyone watching a clue that the show is, well, a show - an act.

O'Reilly is on FOX NEWS - that should give anyone watching a clue that what they're seeing is supposed to be for real.

I know Bill has been getting flack from folks on this. But he shouldn't be so quick as to dismiss all of them as ideaologs. I see what he was trying to do. But Obama is the wrong example to use for kids. There are a lot of people you could have used.

The irony that struck me between the eyes is the examples of the obstacles listed that he used that tell how Obama over-came to get to where he is. Fatherlesss, black, loony mom, etc.....Why bring a baby into a situation like this? Right?


But aren't these the same obstacles that Obama and other pro-abortion groups use to justify killing a baby before it even gets a "chance" to live out its destiny? Before, it too, can be President of the united States or find a cure for cancer?

And now we want to use him as a shining example of overcoming adversity?
Remember this ad controversy?

This was banned from TV. This is what I'm talking about. In the attempted to come across so "fair-minded" I think Bill drops his standards sometimes. Knowing how pro-life he is, I was disappointed. I still like his show.

What President Obama Can Teach Americas Kids | Parade.com


The Parade editor asked Bill:

"Why did you write the article? Given your audience and what your fans expect of you, why write something supporting Obama?"

"I don't agree with all of Obama's policies," O'Reilly said. "But I admire what he's done as a person. I came from poor circumstances and I'm impressed by how he lifted himself up. I think it's a good lesson, and children can learn from it. We should take positive examples wherever we find them."

Who is giving him heat?

Oh, so as long as the attack lines up with your political ideology, it's okay? At least your up front about your hypocrisy.

To clear it up -

I haven't seen him take any hits from the left for praising the President. He's taken a lot on other items and issues.

Your shepard Limbaugh preaches blinded hate everyday over the airways. You guys are just not use to losing elections for the presidency and you have no idea how to handle it. It's really funny to watch the hipocrisy of the conservatives.

OMG!! This is pathetic!! Another perfect example of christian hipocrisy. They want to tell everybody how to live or how to believe and if you don't agree with them then your a horrible person, and could never be a positive role modle. When in the mean time they have their own priests molesting little boys everday. It shows what kind of a person you using the Molesting Catholic church as your resource.
