- Superthug, on 10/10/2007, -5/+79God ***** damnit Bill O'Riley pisses me off.
- vinnythekidd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+73Actually, a new study has shown that mustaches are, in fact, a contributing factor in genocide.
- ahoy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+58"I saw Apollo, he's down there and.. uh, he's not looking good"
..............worst attempt at a joke ever. - omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+48A lot of people say that Dawkins is arrogant, but I think he displays amazing restraint. I'm sure that he's just itching to scream "WHY THE ***** ARE YOU PEOPLE SO ***** STUPID???" He must have an infinite reserve of patience.
- Hollyweird, on 10/10/2007, -4/+50***** Bill O'reeeeally! I just finished Dawkins book, "The God Delusion," and he actually REFUTES and provides EVIDENCE (feel free to look that word up, bible-worshipers) against the very arguments Bill was trying (and failing) to make.
"my truth" --- What a DOUCHEBAG. - Kelgann, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47At least he didn't cut his mike.
- TGMD, on 10/10/2007, -2/+38The founding fathers were, for the most part, athiests and diests! That's a matter of fact!
- david76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35I love O'really's analysis of the founding fathers. Apparently, they thought if people followed Jesus, the country is going to be better.
Huh... Better go revise history. - peterzzz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33I am actually really impressed with Richard Dawkins on this one. He kept his cool and did a great job answering to O'Reilly. Unfortunately, I doubt many in the Factor's audience will "get it".
- treelovinhippie, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36Grrreat interview there Bill... very fair and engaging.
/sarcasm - bruenig, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33No this is actually very predictable. Any time O'Reilly faces off with someone that has a measure of competence he always soft pedals and never confronts for fear of being shown up. He takes this same approach for people like Bill Maher.
Instead of intellectual honesty, he does things like "I just saw Apollo, he's not looking too good." That way he can have a cop out with "wit" to hide a total lack of response.
The times that he really explodes and does his "shut up, mic off" routine is when he has people on that he thinks are weak or that he can dominate and then they don't turn out to be as weak as he thought. So he goes in with this really arrogant sense that he will destroy them and then they catch him off guard and his only response is the laughable panicky yelling and calling for microphones to be shut off. - Devrdander, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32I thought he was rather rude and interrupted Dawkins every time he started to try a rebuttal for more than 5 seconds.
- Alconis, on 10/10/2007, -10/+35I actually found O'Reilly to be not too bad in this interview. He never really lost his temper or called him names. He gave Dawkins time to say what he wanted to say and simply countered with his own views.
- Lennalf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21In response to Dawkins stating that we can explain natural phenomena such as tides and continental drift:
O'Reilly: "I understand the physiology of it, if you will"
What a *****. - darkfate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18To Wikipedia!
- drjones78, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18This clip is a little old... but does the same thing to me.
The contrast between Dawkins and O'Riley was amazing. It might as well have been God trying to explain quantum physics to a chimp - Lennalf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I just got to the part where O'Reilly spelled out "bane" to Dawkins. O'Reilly really thinks Dawkins, who has a PhD and has written multiple books, doesn't know the word BANE? What a ridiculous *****!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Richard Dawkins is too nice, I want Christopher Hitchens to go on ORLY"S show.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16You've never seen O'Reilly being rude then.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Yeah... that a very cogent argument. It's about the level of discussion I'd expect out of a religious zealot defending his holy book of choice.
- solis365, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15wow... he was actually... civil! he didnt yell, he didnt shout, didnt cut his mic...
i mean, he was still an idiot, just not the usual LOUD idiot
i was surprised - jkavvy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13O'Reilly declared himself the winner of the debate in a later show.
- S1ngular1ty1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Wait wait, are you telling me that just because I believe something is true doesn't make it true? Ahhhh crap.
- david76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12You're not supposed to believe theories on faith. You're supposed to support theories based on evidence.
- greenbowlball, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12"I'm throwing in" translation "I don't really believe in this but I'll say I believe in it if it gets me into heaven." categorically proving a deep and broad misunderstanding the nature of religion God, the concept of Jesus, and his precious church. Bill essentially said in this segment that he has ZERO actual FAITH in Jesus and God.
- dheaddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Is Bill really trying to convince us that Hitler and Stalin were evil simply because they didn't follow a religion? He's insulting our intelligence with every breath he takes
- Genjeta, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Richard Dawkins is a badass.
- m3mn0n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I think he did that for his audience who, for the most part, read at a grade 7 level or have been out of school for 3 or more decades.
- da_bradler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Richard Dawkins seems to get most mad when he meets unexpected ignorance, when going on Bill O'Riley it's pretty much assured that your going to talk to the most ignorat man alive
- lordmetroid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10The reason why God is mentioned in the Delcaration of Independence is because Benjamin Franklin demanded it from Jefferson. The original draftings by Jefferson doesn't mention any deity and one can see the edits being done on the drafts.
- TGMD, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I knew it!
Those mustached bastards! - peterzzz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9The way Papa Bear explained it, it sounded more like if people followed Jesus they would be easier to control.
- aresef, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Really? Cause I've always thought it was genocide that caused dictators to grow mustaches.
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11It's been common knowledge for a while that guys with moustaches are positively evil.
- musicbear, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Bill didn't cut his mike, but instead he just wouldn't let him talk. I'm sure Richard walked away thinking... "...and the point of my even being here was....???" Bill must masturbate to audio tapes of his own voice. But by Bill's own admission, Europe is on average about 45% or so atheist? Wow. That was actually interesting.
- knobidy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Damn you Mario and your glorious mustache!
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yes. Frosted Franklin flakes are the greatest cereal ever.
- dbhaley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8If you can call this an interview. O'reilly spent the majority of the time talking about his own retarded opinions.
- knobidy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9That is just it. Some were deists. Sure they referenced a god or designer or what-have-you, but contrary to the beliefs of Bill and people like him, they didn't believe the way they believe. They need to get over the fact that the U.S. was not founded on solely Christian principles and was never intended to be a Christian nation. The U.S. was meant to be a sort of refuge for the oppressed masses. The founding fathers understood that setting a religious precedent would be a bad thing for the great American experiment. Now if only O'Riley and his ilk would understand this, we would all be better off.
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Has O'Reilly ever not declared himself the winner of a debate?
- paulisnotdead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I'm pretty sure he was joking...
- xutopia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's not true. Richard Dawkins would change his stance if there was one shred of evidence to support the God hypothesis. So far all the 'evidence' we had was that the earth was at the center of the solar system, hmmm center of the universe.... well at least we know that the Devil is what causes disease, not some germs or bacteria as some ludites would have you believe!
- da_bradler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4why is it Bill O'Riley hosts a talk show, he spends more time talking then his guests. I mean if your not going to read the guys book and your going to have him on your show, don't make a bunch of ignorat statements just because you don't agree with him. let him talk and explain himself. Bill O'Riley seems to refuse to learn anything from anybody
- omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If that were his intent, it would be one of the few things he's right about.
- resplence, on 10/10/2007, -7/+11As a non-american, I find this obsession with the "founding fathers" rather pathetic. Who cares. Did the founding fathers endorse your favorite choice of cereal as well?
- Pilot85, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4you know, now that I think about it, I have often found my mustache seems to exude evil. That's why I keep it shaved.
- zman14321, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That would be great. Might scare some people away though.
- dbhaley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I've always thought that it was a hatred of puppies that causes both genocidal tendencies and a propensity to grow mustaches.
- Moskie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Wow. Bill had to spell "bane" for his viewers (and probably himself).
*sigh* - cranium, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I don't think O'Reilly exactly aced his science classes, lol.
