In another one of his insightful discussions of the “War on Christmas”, Bill O’Reilly slams Madison for no apparent reason. The discussison in which this comment was made didn’t even have anything to do with Wisconsin.
O’REILLY: Now, this is a conservative city, Richmond. I mean, this is not Madison, Wisconsin, where you expect those people to be communing with Satan up there in the Madison, Wisconsin, media.
O’Reilly’s talking about how horrible it is that people get offended by terms such as “Happy Holidays” and “Season’s Greetings” and he goes on bashing the city I live in for no reason whatsoever. Talk about vindictive.
If you ever did before (and I can’t imagine why anyone would), I don’t see how you could take Bill O’Reilly seriously after the last couple weeks.
On a slightly related note, the Badger Herald has an editorial that should end the Capitol Christmas Tree debate once and for all. Tsk, tsk… Those legislators have better things to do… like allow me to carry concealed gun and ban gay marriage.

It seems like O’Reilly’s hyperbole and exaggerations get worse every day. I still have respect for the guy but he needs to:
1. Chill out. 2. Listen to his guests and realize that his personal convictions are not always right (especially with new evidence). 3. Make accurate and objective statements about certain issues instead of spewing rhetoric.
I still think his show is good and that he does promote good dialogue on some important issues. He can ridiculous though and its good to call him out on it.
