PLEASE READ: CURRENT/PERTINENT

What up guys, so A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was offfff the chain. Ok, moving on. Guys, I thought this would be pertinent. I was just flipping through the channels and guess what was on FOX? The Bill O-Reilly Factor. Oh yes, so pondering the powerpoint we witnessed earlier, I tuned in for a few moments, although I feel an unsettling rage against Bill O-Reilly.

The O-Reilly was talking about Ward Churchill (how familiar) speaking at U. of Hawaii. He brought the brother of a 9-11 victim on his show to discuss this. (Note: PATHOS). Here is what the guest, a victim's brother, said about Churchill:

""The Ward Churchill controversy is not about free speech--it's about hate speech. The radical professor hates America, and is being rewarded for that point of view by some major colleges. The University of Hawaii gave Churchill an all-expense paid trip to Oahu to reiterate what he has said before--that Americans working at the World Trade Center were justifiable military targets. Churchill has also said that many killed in the World Trade Center and Pentagon were little Nazis. Ward Churchill is not a danger to America--he is insignificant. What is not insignificant is that the University of Hawaii embraced Churchill and the audience gave him three standing ovations. This is disgraceful. In addition to being a propagandist, Churchill is unrepentant about anything he has said. This controversy is not about Churchill, who is desperate for attention. It's about major colleges in the US legitimizing this man. Shame on the University of Hawaii." ---Michael Faughnan.

And Bill O-Reilly tells him, in regard to Churchill, ""You shouldn't engage this guy because he's beneath you. He's not a person you can reason with. He hates America and I don't think you'll ever get him to stop hating America."

At this point, I am enraged, absolutely enraged with O'Reilly. After reading Churchill's statement, then his response to the criticism, I think he is very reasonable in his logic. He presents factual evidence, unlike Bill O'Reilly who persists in putting words in other peoples' mouths. Example, he says Churchill "hates America." Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.

And honestly, I believe America has plunged Churchill into a mess and an ICON he didn't want to be. Churchill states in Hawaii, ""I never wanted to be a poster boy for academic freedom. You can't give an inch. If you let this one down, you've lost it all." Now, he is in a fight for "freedom of speech" and "academic freedom" when all he wanted was to put his views out there and enlighten America. Now look where he is. In his response to criticism that we read, he is attempting to clarify the defamation of his character. Bill O'Reilly is a key FACTOR in the defamation of his character.

In anger and disgust, I sign off here.
