Bill O'Reilly.....fighting for the persecuted, downtrodden straight white christian male!
Fox News host Bill OReilly argued on Monday that Hillary Clintons budding presidential campaign was already getting a boost due to the attack on traditional American values.
If youre a Christian or a white man in America, its open season on you, he said. Therefore, Hillary Clinton has an advantage. She can run a general campaign: First woman in the White House, and Im gonna help you by increasing the entitlement society. It will take a very articulate and tough-minded Republican to defeat her.
OReilly then promised to treat her campaign fairly, with one caveat.
I dont think gender matters one bit, he argued. And if this war on women business is resurrected, well have something to say.

Luckily, his opinion can only resonate with the stupidest people -- the low-information republicans.

What I fear is the plutocrats that O'Reilly would have running the country.

(9,350 posts)If a liberal like Rachel Maddow had said the things he said about Hillary Clinton about a Republican presidential nominee he would he would have blown a gasket. Everything he said about Clinton could have been said about every Republican nominee, current and future. In addition, he praised Kate McKinnon as one of the greatest performers ever and praised he Clinton skit. Back in 2008 when Saturday Night Live(SNL) was creating skits about Sarah Palin taken almost word for word from things Palin said people like Bill O'Rielly were complaining about the liberal bias of SNL and how it's skits were just a part of the liberal hate machine. Did O' Reilly ever praise one of Tina Fey's skits, or call her one of the greatest performers ever? If Tina Fey was brought back to do another Sarah Palin skit O' Reilly would be tripping over himself to find way to say how Tina Fey is a horrible a person

(172 posts)pathetic bloviating ass he is. If you're a Christian or a White male you are the majority and you control the majority of the wealth and hold the majority of the jobs and run the majority of the businesses and are the majority in the political parties on both sides. The idea that Hillary has an advantage because of some inane war on white males is just stunningly stupid even for Bill-O the clown.
Here's a clue Bill-O since you don't seem to have one, Hillary has an advantage because your Republican candidates are a bunch of unmitigated buffoons and low brow laughing stocks.

(10,274 posts)and yeah. Billo needs to go put on his Big Girl panties, and shut the fuck up.
On a darker note, this is him laying the groundwork for a later screed about, "well how can I be a sexist pig-fucker, if Hillary Clinton is President???"
It comes from the same place as "Racsim doesn't exist in America anymore, because Barack Obama..", and is just as nonsensical.
It's just an excuse to dismiss his actual racism (or sexism) as letigimate critique instead of the asinine bigotry that it really is. What he should be doing, is going in front of the camera every fucking night and thanking the rest of us who voted for Barack (and who will, in all probability, vote also for Hillary) for providing him a kind of unintentional cover for his continued ignorance.

(30,253 posts)I loved Star Trek Voyager and watched it because it was the first, and so far only time, that the captain was a woman. I was young and thought that Captain Janeway was cool. She was a good role model for girls and women.
Coincidentally, later on today I'm going to Kate Mulgrew's book signing in NY at a Barnes & Noble by Union Square. I haven't gone to a book signing before, but I want to show her my support. She's a feminist, very intelligent, an active Democrat and a cool person. Kate used to be married to Tim Hagan. Hagan is a politician from Ohio who ran for governor in 2002. Unfortunately, he lost to Robert Taft (he was the incumbent Republican). I almost forgot to mention that she now plays "Red" in OITNB.
As for O'Reilly, he's an idiot. I have no use for the guy.

(14,177 posts)Yet, no one has informed me of the where I can get a licence. But, seriously it's about time white males stopped being a protected class so maybe this open season isn't such a bad idea, let white males compete for a change instead of having the assumption being that they will be better at any given job.
quaker bill
(8,224 posts)It is open season on stupid white men. Not all white men are stupid, and not all stupid men are white, but nearly all Republican Candidates for President are stupid white men.
After 8 years of one of them running the country, many of us have learned that rejecting the next one is a very good thing.

(1,150 posts)I've never once felt disadvantaged due to my ethnic heritage or gender in my 44 years. In any way, regarding anything.
I am an atheist, and I do discuss that aspect of my life somewhat carefully, because it can definitely disadvantage a person in a whole range of circumstances. However, I can fairly say that (my experience being limited to the upper Midwest) I have never once witnessed a person who professes Christian beliefs being in any way discriminated against, in any way, regarding anything.
Hm... then again, I've seen Christians of one sect really coming down hard on Christians of some other sect. So, I suppose, if inter-denominational conflict counts, it could really be 'open season' on Christians in our country. Not of the shooting variety, but certainly some nasty words mostly spoken in private.
And what exactly are 'traditional American values?' Let's see - people of African heritage should be slaves, women and non-property holders should be excluded from voting, we should expand our borders through warfare with the current occupants of and subsequent expulsion from the land we want, we should have a very limited standing army, no people of non-African heritage should be able to marry people of African heritage, - all these are pretty standard traditional American values, at least among light-skinned males. I suspect that women and people of African heritage, especially those who were slaves and their descendants, developed a very different set of 'traditional American values,' which are just as valid as the light-skinned male values...
