He (Bill O'Reilly) said he didn't "feel that strongly" about gay marriage "one way or another" and thought the decision should be left to individual states. "I want all Americans to be happy," he said, adding, "I live in New York. New York is fine with it."
(Megyn) Kelly said pro-marriage equality forces had made very compelling arguments that opponents had been hard-pressed to tackle.
"I agree with you 100 percent. The compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals," O'Reilly said. "That is where the compelling argument is. We're Americans, we just want to be treated like everybody else. That's a compelling argument, and to deny that you've got to have a very strong argument on the other side. And the other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the Bible." This, he added, was not a basis on which to enact public policy.
Whoa! Referring to opponents of same sex marriage as "bible thumpers" is certainly going to get Fox News in a little hot water with their hyper religious conservative base.
You know I almost wonder if this is not also part of the conservative's plan to reach out to the young people. Perhaps the folks at Fox News recognize that this is a losing argument for the Republican party, and as their propagandists have decided to lead the way toward accepting the inevitable.
Unless of course you are actually willing to believe that Bill O'Reilly wants "all Americans to be happy?"
Yeah me either.
