Saturday, September 18, 2004 at 2:30 AM Bill is not so bad, sure he's annoying as hell but most of his political views aren't that crazy:
Bill O'Reilly's political views
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_O%27Reilly_%28commentator%29
Supports cutting taxes across the board and eliminating the inheritance tax
Supports harsher prosecution for hard drug dealers
Supports strict enforcement of immigration law by placing the National Guard on the US-Mexico border
Supports 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq
Opposes partial-birth abortion
Opposes gay marriage if enacted by judges, though says it personally doesn't bother him
Supports raising automobile fuel efficiency standards due to his belief in global warming
Supports a large and well-funded Environmental Protection Agency
Supports campaign finance reform
Supports de-criminalizing marijuana and the use of medical marijuana if prescribed by a physician
Supports gay adoption
Supports civil unions
Supports gay marriage if voted for by citizens
Supports gun control while believing in validity of the 2nd Amendment
Opposes the death penalty
Opposes additional regulation of pornography
Opposes government regulation of private sexual acts between consenting adults
Opposes the criminalization of most forms of abortion (partial-birth abortion being the exception), though personally finds the practice offensive
and of course we can't forget the time when he answered a letter from "jack mehoffer" on air:
"Jack Mehoffer, Springfield, Massachusetts says, "O'Reilly, I see the new Fox definition of fair and balanced means interviewing DNC chief Terry McAuliffe at both conventions."
Well, right you are, Mr. Mehoffer. Newt Gingrich appeared with us at both conventions. So did Mr. McAuliffe. What's the beef, sir? It is long past time to stop the partisan nonsense. Fox News gives airtime to all responsible viewpoints. And our commentators are clear and lively. No hidden agenda here, just flat out stimulating TV. And that's memo.
