Bill O'Reilly and the Potty-Mouthed Eight-Year-Old Girl

[manasecret]

My guess is most of you have seen this, but if not I'll start from the beginning.

First, there's a video of a little eight-year-old girl on YouTube in which she calls out Bill O'Reilly in a heavily scripted diatribe, link 1 here.

Then Bill O'Reilly opened a can of whoop-ass on that eight-year-old bitch, link 2 here.

Now, that's where I figure most of you all are up to speed to.

------------------------

What I bring new to the discussion is there's also a rebuttal to Bill O'Reilly's editorial segment, also posted on YouTube link 3 here.

Excellently done rebuttal in my opinion. For one it makes the hyprocrisy of Bill O'Reilly's segment self-evident.

Secondly, I don't think having a little girl reading an agenda-filled script riddled with cuss words to a camera in order to post on YouTube is AT ALL good parenting. However, I also don't agree with the indoctrinating of children to Christianity (or any other religion), such as the little Christian girl in the second take of the rebuttal. Actually I think it's much worse than the cussing, Bill O'Reilly-hating eight-year-old, because that girl sure seems like she's only reading from a script. That little Christian girl, on the other hand, is talking about painting nails and listening to calming Christian music just so she can break down any walls others might have to being indoctrinated to her beliefs -- she's the one that has truly been brainwashed.

The first take of the rebuttal, however, with the two daughters supporting their father in a political campaign, is ok with me. I'm all about indoctrinating my daughters -- if and when I have daughters -- to love me enough to want to do a commercial about how great I am. Yeah that would be awesome.

I'm interested to hear what y'all think.

I saw this yesterday. Good publicity for The Bastard Fairies though. Got their free CD after watching all of these.

The clip of the girl talking about painting nails is from the documentary Jesus Camp. Now, that was scary. At one point they have the kids bless a life-sized cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush and then recite anti-abortion slogans. They get so into it that they actually burst into tears. Basically they're building an army of kids to "save" America. Brainwashing at its finest. I don't think I've ever been so creeped out before.

I really don't mind the first girl. It was just a scripted little speech to promote a band. What bothers me tremendously is the Evangelist girl and all the other kids at this camp. Their lives are forfeit. Every last one of them is home schooled and will never come across a differing opinion than that of the community they're from. None of them will go off to study science or become a teacher or anything else besides follow in their parents' footsteps blinding more kids and attempt to convert others.

The whole movie can be watched on youtube in parts.

And here's a fun clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3gwQ...elated&search=

Creepy, disturbing, nauseating, repugnant, terrifying -- yeah a lot of words come to mind. I haven't heard of this movie before, but I plan to see it and watch in awe.

Just please make it clear to me how getting impressionable children to be anti-abortion, and anti-bush is different than getting impressionable children to believe in a specific religion.

Kids do as they are told, for the most part.
They'll believe dinosaurs didnt exist, if you tell them that enough.

I guess I don't believe one should make a kid believe anything. These kids aren't just told things of that nature either. It's not just Bush is a good president type of stuff. It's Bush is this country savior and speaks of the word of the lord. On the other side of the spectrum this would be to teach one's kids that Bush is a demon who lurks under their beds will intentions of disemboweling them in their sleep. Be pro or anti, but don't turn this man into a freaking religious symbol.

Their parents read them literature scoffing science and how it doesn't prove anything. There are even political messages in their "science" books. It's one thing to teach a kid to believe in Jesus. It's another to teach them to that everyone who doesn't is below them and should be looked down upon. I really can't sum up all the ways in which these kids are fed lies. Watch the film and let me know if any of that seems right to you.

All kids are fed lies.
They are all the biased upbringing of their parents. Truth to one are lies to another.



The little girls rant was half satire. Dont listen to what she's saying as word-for-word stone hearted truth. Take it with a grain of salt, as it would be in a movie, or a stand up comedy act.

The problem with nearly everyone these days, is that they take things too literally, and this is sort of proof of that.

Slander is bad. Sure.
Free speech is good. Yes.
Is there a need to ever draw the line? In this case, No.

The point of this, in my eyes, was to get attention for a semi-satrical rant.
And it accomplished just that.
If you (general) dont think it's satire, then I dont know what you're missing.

"...and stop me from watching fact-based things such as family guy, or south park."

i watched the south park movie this weekend...it made me happy
