O'Reilly Enlists American Clerics In His "Holy War"
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly boosted his idea that the U.S. is in a holy war against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL), demanding the Obama administration "take the holy war seriously" and urging American clerics to lead the fight.
After the Islamic State's beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya, O'Reilly claimed that "the holy war is here" on the February 17 edition of his show. O'Reilly later called on "all Christians, Jews, and secularists who love their country" to call the White House and "say enough."
On the February 18 edition of his show, O'Reilly again claimed it is "appropriate to define the worldwide conflict between Muslim fanatics and nearly everybody else" as a "holy war" and demanded President Obama "take the holy war seriously." O'Reilly asserted that the West must come together to eliminate the Islamic State, adding that "if the politicians won't do it, the clergy must lead the way."

bravely ran away away...
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Billo turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Billo.

Whose side is O'Reilly on? I wouldn't be surprised to see him in an ISIS recruiting video.

(70,700 posts)Seriesly. It had been some time since he had self-convened one boycott after another, with mostly himself as the boycotter, but O'LOOFAH had as his panel this JEFFRESS dude who was spittling and sounding like Daffy Duck and a Catholic priest who sounded downright low key being able to couch his similar fiery message in dulcet tones having come a long way since St Bernard of Clairvaux.
I thought this JEFFRESS clown was a *new* "rough beast slouching to Bethlehem to be born" but Wiki reminded me of his piles of history in our past elections. And then I focused on finding graphics of all these whatses but they are great about guarding their images: St Bernard's portraits are all beaming; JEFFRESS' are all smiley. Hmm, maybe a "Daffy Duck" will be more suggestive of the reality.
Anyway, O'LOOFAH framed himself with the Catholic priest during that segment, all dulcet while he was demanding that all priests, ministers, and rabbis speak the word of Crusade this weekend, be it Friday, Sabbath, Sunday or whatever, and that they all e-mail him with their results and he will read all the ones he can on the air. Uh, would that be something, like, a couple?!1

[font size=5]Robert James Jeffress, Jr.[/font]
(born November 29, 1955) is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, United States.[2] He hosts the program, Pathway to Victory, which is broadcast on more than 1,200 television stations and dozens of radio outlets as well. ....
Jeffress supported Governor Rick Perry in the Republican presidential primaries for the 2012 presidential nomination.[18] On October 7, 2011, he provoked a national controversy when he introduced Perry at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., by indicating that one of Perry's rivals, former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, is opposed to Christianity. According to Jeffress, Romney's Mormonism contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ.[19] He had previously made a similar statement to this effect during the 2008 presidential primaries, when Romney lost the nomination to U.S. Senator John S. McCain of Arizona.[20] Nevertheless, in April 2012, Jeffress endorsed Romney for president because of the pastor's strong opposition to the reelection of U.S. President Barack Obama.[21]
