Right, Mr. O'Reilly, an event whose mission statement begins with "Our mission is primarily about spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ" doesn't have any "specific religion in play."
It would be nice if we in the black community would more closely examine the tragedy of the most famous black man in the world burning off his blackness and hacking off his African nose.
We have obtained exclusive footage of Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly learning the news that Al Franken is, in fact, the next Senator from the state ...
Republicans' private embraces are often in complete contradistinction with their own oft-trumpeted, Biblically-mandated "moral" guidelines for the rest of us.
Forty years after Stonewall, not only is sexual orientation still a taboo for many in the media, all too often it serves as a focal point for hate, ridicule, and misinformation.
The Women's Media Center was packed with women active in old and new media, advocacy, and culture.
Does what any of us think of Dr. Tiller and his practices give anyone the right to murder the man? No.
Kadivar is one of Iran's most respected clerics. His words are powerful because he is able to counter the religious arguments of the Ayatollah with his own sound religious and theological logic.
If O'Reilly The Journalist had done his real journalist due diligence he would have found out that his "...you don't hear both sides in the Philadelphia Inquirer" is an out and out lie.
In conservative world, this administration is leading a march on socialism. Just last week alone, Media Matters counted more than 143 mentions of the word "socialism" on the cable news shows.
Women deserve legal protection, and as long as a fetus is part of a woman's body, it has protections through her.
Unfortunately, much like the iconic gap between Letterman's front teeth, so too is there a gaping hole in the credibility of his conservative critics, however justified their claims may be.
I am proposing a tax on the self proclaimed political pundits. Skewed and twisted "news" reporting has taken over our airwaves.
Artie Lange's appearance on Joe Buck Live last evening has sparked some discussion about his appointed role on a panel discussing sports and celebrity.
Karl Rove never designed anything other than a way to help elect George Bush and Dick Cheney. He should be ashamed to show his face in public but, of course, that's why Fox loves him.
(From my column in today's Philadelphia Inquirer Oped Page 6/16/09) The broadcast Lords of Loud on talk radio and TV have longed been pressing the ha...
The Palin children have been fodder for comedians since they were brought to the national stage -- I exhausted the top 10 list before I ran out of outrageous instances previously ignored by the Palins.
We create the news, we report the news we've created, we tell you to decide in our favor.
Palpable demographic shifts have sparked considerable terror among a cadre of white Americans -- a fear that whites will be politically and culturally moribund in their "own" land.
While Bill O'Reilly never seems to be able to find any hate-speech coming from the right, perhaps he might to want to check out Patriotshop.us a "Gr...

Bill O'Reilly...another anchortainer at Fox News...what happened to your "religion" when you made unwanted/inappropriate sexual comments toward a lady acquaintance of yours? I can't speak for everyone, but I believe that since God created the earth, doesn't it make sense that we should strive to be good stewards of it? Yeah, BillO', wouldn't it be horrible if the world would join in the effort to make our air, land, and water clean again so future generations can live healthier lives?
Personally I'm more concerned with what Pres Obama plans to do to fix the problems in this country...I could care less if he says *grace* or not. His going to church or praying isn't putting food on my table. I'm fed up with pious, sanctimonious blowhards thinking THEIR religion is the only one...
**Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun - "When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some."**
And even George Washington said that "this country is in no way founded on the Christian religion." Read the Constitution, it says NOTHING about God, Jesus, or Christianity ANYWHERE in the entire document. You'd think BillO the clown would know that with his degree in history.
But he's probably still pi$$ed that his old lady used to date Flava Flav so its warped his mind...lol
At about the time of the start of the Iraq invasion I attended a public talk entitled "Conflicts and the part played by religion in them" or something like that. The panel of speakers included the Catholic Archbishop, a Muslim scholar (not a priest), a Buddhist monk and a person from the Bahaii faith. These men all spent the first 15 min utes of their alloted time telling the audience of the peace and understanding that was the core of their religions, and quoted from their holy books with gay abandon. They then opened up for questions. I had no hesitation in putting to them the first question, and managed to drag in most wars since the Crusades, which was the start of a feeding frenzy from the audience (of mostly University students, academics and other assorted rabble). It continues to amaze me that these "holy" men and scholars are so ignorant of the way in which they are viewed by anyone who is not brainwashed.
So the whole thing with Rev Jeremiah Wright can now be put to bed?
Some people talk religion and some people live religion.
Some people are very churchy and preachy and spout religious things out of the same mouth with which they besmirch, insult, slander, and lie.
Some people do not go to church but use care in how they express opposing views with another.
Some people go through the motions of demonstrating religion. Some people do not feel the need to prove their religiosity, prefering to deal directly with the Almighty or Whoever is their Higher Power.
Some people are proud and boastful and judgemental and some are humble, quiet, and ask to be kept that way in their prayers.
