How can they claim to be "Christian" with such obvious idolatry? Well, isn't O'Reilly Catholic? I think they're a bit more lax about graven images.
Myself, I increasingly dislike all of the various religions out there. Including Baseball. :) If I weren't an atheist and a computer nerd with an aversion to sports, I'd probably say that were blasphemy.
Many people have discussed this in view of the fact that O'Reilly said he felt lynching a black woman would be an acceptable course of action if he felt she deserved it."
Well, it causes my gorge to rise even to come close to defending O'Reilly, but he didn't quite say what you're imputing to him; he clearly meant lynching metaphorically. (And no, I don't think it's acceptable to use "lynch" as a metaphor as he used it.)
What a bigoted ass O'Reilly is. To use that term in reference to any black -- man or woman -- conjures up all sorts of horror stories in America's history. I'd like to think we could continue to move forward as a nation and leave that past in the past.

Totally agree! Saw your post after I posted my comment at Orcinus.
This is IDOLATRY. This is RELIGION for these people. How can they claim to be "Christian" with such obvious idolatry?

Even so, I think the main point of my post stands.
