    Bill O'Reilly is actually very entertaining to watch, in my opinion. I'm kinda shocked he supports that though....just seems it's out of character. But it's a good shock.

    +1 Internets Mr. Reilly

    Hmm that's strange, Bill O'Reilly doesn't usually support the repeal of DADT.

    Bill O'Reilly actually feels sorry for Obama? Is it possible that this guy is less conservative than we all thought? He wants to repeal DADT and he obviously thinks Glenn Beck is all kinds o' crazy.

    Everyone thinks Glenn Beck is crazy. Even Glenn Beck.

    Bill O'Reilly is just human, just because he's labeled as conservative doesn't mean he has to mold to the cookie cutter stereotype that everyone imagines for political parties. He recognizes what's right in this case, and good for him, more respect from me for him. He gets a bit out of control with his comments sometimes, but are any of us really different? No, he just has balls to say it. So good for him.

    O'Reilly’s opinions aren’t consistent he probably didn’t want Leno’s audience to boo him.

    O'Reilly is a fiscal conservative, with a bit of social conservative thrown in. I'm happy to see what he's doing with his show though. He used to be near Glen Beck levels, but has recently turned around to be a much more moderate reporter. I feel that with Maddow and Beck out there, he's decided to play the middle ground, and is starting to report things "fair and balanced". He may not support gay rights personally, but he sees the legal side of it and reports it nowadays.

    O'Reilly has made very ignorant, homophobic, and all around unprofessional comments on his show, really not sure why you're defending him. Him having the balls to make those comments is irrelevant (or am I misunderstanding your post?)

    Needless to say, I was surprised to see him support the repeal of DADT.

    I can't really hate a person because they disagree with me on certain issues. Everyone has a right to be defended anyway.

    "He gets a bit out of control with his comments sometimes, but are any of us really different? No, he just has balls to say it. So good for him."

    This was the part I didn't like. Following that mindset, would you defend the WBC, or some other equivalent? Because they do have the balls to promote their message. I don't see how them advocating hatred or ignorance makes them honorable. This isn't about hating them perse.

    I can't even stand Glen Beck, and I'm a conservative.

    Bill O'Reilly (even though he trends to the more conservative free market side of politics) is a very independent in his views. He truly does give credit where credit is due and calls a spade a spade when needed. He gives Republicans as much hell as he does the Dems...Fox News (although I sheepishly admit that's what i watch) claims to be "fair and balanced"....i think O'Reilly is the closet to that motto. I'd rather watch him than Keith Olbermann any day of the week.

    Although i do love me some Joe Scarborough though.

    the moment obama did a executive order, bill o'reilly would be slamming him for doing so, saying he was overstepping his bounds by cutting congress and the pentagon out of it.

    you cant win.
