OMG I agree with Bernie Goldberg on O' Reilly Kissy-Poo Coulter Interview
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 03:51 PM by RamboLiberal
During the October 18 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News contributors Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall criticized host Bill O'Reilly for not challenging right-wing pundit Ann Coulter during her October 15 appearance on his program over comments she had made the previous week on CNBC's The Big Idea. Coulter had said to host Donny Deutsch that "we" Christians "just want Jews to be perfected." Goldberg stated: "You got very passionate about the Catholic sacrilege in San Francisco, but when Ann Coulter made her comment about how everybody should be a Christian, including all the Jews, because they should be more perfected, man, I was waiting for you two to French kiss. I mean, it was -- you weren't the old Bill O'Reilly." O'Reilly claimed that he "ignored the controversy" because he "never debates theology with a non-theologian, ever." O'Reilly then stated: "Ann Coulter is a commentator. She says some crazy thing that I think is unjustifiable. But why do I want to debate it with her? She doesn't have any credibility in the area," to which Hall replied: "But Bill, you said everybody should be challenged." O'Reilly responded: "I did challenge her in the interview, Jane. It wasn't a kissypoo interview." Goldberg countered: "Yes, it was."

Later in the segment, O'Reilly stated: "All right. Maybe I should have said it was anti-Semitic. I don't think it was anti-Semitic. I think it was just dumb." Then, responding to Goldberg's claim that he "should have been a little tougher," O'Reilly asserted: "OK. It's a legitimate point, but I want everybody to know -- all right -- that I didn't feel that it was a worthy conversation because she's not a theologian." O'Reilly continued: "It's like somebody says to me, Bernie -- this is important. Somebody says to me, 'If you don't accept Jesus, you're going to hell.' How many times have we heard that? Am I going to have a conversation with that person? No, I'm not." Goldberg retorted: "Then don't have her on."

1. i have something good to say about Goldberg--here it goes
the interviews and stories he does on Real Sports on HBO are very good, of course they have nothing to do with politics.
