Bill-O can't handle the sight of two men kissing

from ThinkProgress:



O’Reilly censors photo of two men kissing.

Last night, Bill O’Reilly discussed photos that had surfaced on the internet of American Idol contestent Adam Lambert kissing another man, “which hint that he is gay.” Showing the photos, O’Reilly was careful to crop them so that viewers did not actually see two men’s lips touching, and seemed incredulous that the “folks” wouldn’t vote off a suspected gay man from the show. Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/07/billo-crops-kissing-photo/


Gawker, which posted the real photo, points out that while O’Reilly found the image of two men kissing “so revoltingly gross and icky and offensive” that he had to crop it, he has in the past had no qualms about airing video “that included gyrating, bikini-clad drunk girls humping people during Spring Break.”

1. But I bet he loves the sight of two women kissing.

3. Only if falafel is involved.

Bill O' the Clown is a ragin homophobe... but with a particular fetish.

[sakabatou]

20. And loofahs. Don't forget loofahs.

[Kerrytravelers]

22. How could I? What goes better with falafels than a loofah?

:rofl:

[foxfeet]

2. Put down that falafel! You don't know where it's been!

4. "...gyrating, bikini-clad drunk girls humping people during Spring Break.”

Like that's a bad thing? I thought that was the purpose of Spring Break.

5. *sigh*

People are discussing the dichotomy in O'Really's 'moral compass', such as it is.

Sad.

Pathetic and sad.

6. "Bill O'reilly was a man was a man. Yes a big man.

With an eye like an eagle and as tall as a mountain
Bill O'reilly was a man. Yes a big man.
He was brave, he was fearless and as tough as a mighty oak tree."......

7. You know...regular tv doesn't help here. SNL has a "Oh no, two dudes are gonna kiss!" skit almost

every week.

[Echo In Light]

8. Authoritarians detest men who display any quality which can be deemed feminine

Misogyny is the cornerstone of homophobia.

9. Of course, there are exceptions to OReilly's rage :

13. PERFECT

[pnutbutr]

10. yeah

I'm not homophobic or prude or anything but seeing any two people open mouth kissing with tongues touching like that pic is kinda gross. It seemed more like Fox editing it and not necessarily O'Reilly himself.

Did other media outlets show the picture in full on television?

[marmar]

11. Why?

The Puritanical silliness of America never ceases to amaze me.

[Bluebear]

12. "I'm not a prude but that's gross" - You're a prude.

Sorry! :hi:

[bullwinkle428]

18. No other media outlets bothered with it because it WASN'T NEWSWORTHY.

[Stevenmarc]

14. Hint that he's gay, like when you open your mouth it hints that you're an asshole Bill

[BattyDem]

15. Why is Adam Lambert's sexuality newsworthy?

He's gay, Bill. So what? Get over it already! :eyes:

16. What's Bill afraid of, eh....

Could it be that such images cause an unwanted tumescence for him? Could his disgust be merely a mask for his real longings? Hmmmm......

[bridgit]

17. That's cause he's a freak!

[npk]

19. Billo being an ass. Just another day in the life of a bigot. n/t

[loyalkydem]

21. I bet

If he saw me and my cop buddy kissing in public he want us burned at the stake

[madeline_con]

23. I love Billo's "concern" about the show .

:puke:
