Bill O'Reilly: Washington Post Writer Sally Quinn On Sarah Palin's Religion

[grfield1]

What she really said is that Sarah is very human....like we didn't already know that!

[BraidedLily]

Let's just admit that we don't understand or know God's plan or us as individuals. Sally asks valid questions and her reference to Warren's book title "It's Not All About You" is relevant to Palin's apparent self absorption. Christian politicans tend to speak the jargon preferred by their Christian supporters and, yes, it does come across as vapid, insincere.

[getrichwithpaul]

This woman is VERY confused to say the least.

[mydoggotshavedtoday]

he said he doesn't question peoples faith. YET he always says athiesm is faith (WHICH IT IS NOT) then he questions athiesm.. hmmmm, bill is stupid.

[ironhorzmn]

@sleazeball How do you know Sarah's not 'faking it'? You know that because conservatives normally live their religion, unlike fucking Democrat HYPOCRITES like Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson and Nancy Pelosi.

Stay classy, pal.

[ironhorzmn]

Last time I checked, priests weren't advocating eugenics or parroting Malthusian talking points.

[ironhorzmn]

Looks like ALL the Nazis haven't been captured yet.

[everythingeco]

I thought I was watching a video about politics, turned into "interpretations pf God's Plan".

[XLRMusic]

both of these people are fucking idiots. they have no place in the media.

[VerseInfinitum]

Bill O'Reilly speaks out based upon his Roman Catholic views. What's significant is that it's only on his cultural views. Any idea that can't be tested is only philosophy and not science or rationality. Unfortunately many people could become ethnocentric in regards to their philosophical and cultural views. However, being aware of the difference between science and philosophy is of exceptional social importance.

[btkirb]

So after watching that interview, I have no clue what Quinn was trying to say. The further the the US strays from God the farther down hill we will go. 10-15 years from now it may be a 3rd world country. I eagerly await Christ's return and would love to see the look on all your faces. All of you who think you are your own master. Life is not all about yourself.

[joe80dman]

Sally Quinn's father was a chief officer in the OSS to it's transition into the CIA. She was raised primarily in the D.C. area. What qualifies this Beltway INSIDER to critique ANYONE in religious matters is anyone's guess! Why didn't the W.P. pick someone else to be a religious reporter, at least someone with knowledge of the subject? Quinn is a buffoon!

[XlightninX]

i must say... what. a. whore.

[richwfd2002]

Sometimes Bill is rational and has good points, but he is a fucktard on this one.....

[aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa]

God has a plan huh? were the 22 million Russions (80% civilians) that died during WW2 part of that plan?

[mymentor]

Absolute babble from both parties.

Pretty much par for the course when this religion pablum is attempted to be rationalised.

[bucksmasher1]

Sarah suffers severly from a God Delusion that has made her Bat-Shit Crazy. She has no business running for any public office where her lunacy could affect the lives of rational people.

[computerwizard1959]

@bucksmasher1

You have such a ways with words......

[jesusfreakrkg]

@ 2:45... biggest lie ever!!!

[pullupachairandstay]

Sally Quinn pontificates "I wouldn't say simplistic because I don't like to criticize anyone's views" ... then she goes on to completely criticize her views. Bleh, insufferable woman, that Quinn. BTW, tithe means "a tenth, or very small part" so one cannot "tithe" 90% of what they make as she says, irrelevantly, that the pastor does. Pitiful, pompous, Quinn.

[ironhorzmn]

This woman couldn't come up with anything nice to say, even about Sarah's choice to carry Trig to term even knowing he had Down's syndrome.

Regardless of one's position on abortion, you should at least have the courage, decency and basic class to compliment Sarah for living according to her principles even if it's personally inconvenient.

Yet Sally dances around Sarah's comment in an effort to rob it of any meaning and, in the process, demeans herself.

A truly small and vicious woman.

[rncoco]

@ironhorzmn Sara is the small vicious woman.

[XlightninX]

@rncoco well maybe but sir that chick was a downright asshole she says she doesnt like to judge right after she says she doesnt like to use the word and then she goes right to judging everything negatively of course

[Rshimy]

@ironhorzmn Why compliment someone who has an irrational belief that negatively effects our society? She also said our invasion of Iraq is part of gods plan, which is ludicrous. Her ideology goes against the 1st amendment, therefore, she is not appropriate for politics.

[ironhorzmn]

@hypocrite

Every Democratic President has publicly and regularly attended church. Even Obama attended a church for twenty years. Why aren't you criticizing them for holding 'irrational beliefs' and violating the First Amendment?

Why weren't Clinton and Obama 'inappropriate' for politics? They're practicing Christians too.

Your hypocrisy is what's really inappropriate here.

[Rshimy]

@ironhorzmn Sure. they publicly attend church. But they are also well aware of the 1st amendment and the Treaty of Tripoli. Clinton never said the invasion of iraq was a "mission from god". Sarah Palin did. Because she is a religious nut who doesn't understand the world. She just listens to her superiors, she has no real opinion.

[ironhorzmn]

@Rshimy You're saying there are good Christians and bad Christians.

It's just curious that the 'good' Christians always seem to be liberals or Democrats and the 'bad' Christians always seem to be conservatives or Republicans.

I think you're not threatened by Democrats who attend church because you know it's only for show. After all, every damn one of them supports abortion on demand even into the third trimester.

Obama even supports abortion in the FOURTH trimester.

[Rshimy]

@ironhorzmn im not threatened because they understand that it can't interfere with politics and what is best for people. the bible is not best for people, nor any ancient religious book written by people who thought sickness and mental retardation was demonic posession. I'm against pain an suffering-a fetus doesn't feel pain nor does it suffer. Nor does it even have thoughts or self awareness for that reason. It rather have abortions then the modern slaughterhouses that affects what DOES feel

[ironhorzmn]

@Toldya. You have no problem with liberal 'Christians' because they don't really BELIEVE in Christianity.

They do not have the courage of conservative Christians like Sarah Palin, who although she knew her unborn son had Down's syndrome, ignored expert medical advice and refused to abort him.

When Rev. Wright's racist and hateful preaching came to light, Obama, aided by the liberal media, claimed he heard none of it. He didn't have the guts to stand for what he sat thru for twenty years.

[Rshimy]

@ironhorzmn Obama didnt stand up for Wright because he didn't actually believe the shit he heard in church.

Sarah palin said the invasion of Iraq was a mission from GOD! What kind of god would put us on an unsuccessful mission unless he wanted us dead? God has nothing to do with our politics and arms.

[ironhorzmn]

Why would Obama go to a church for twenty years if he didn't BELIEVE the PASTOR?

You just proved my point, pal. Liberals PRETEND to be Christians but it's all for show.

Liberals have no problem with abortion, gay marriage, abortion, sexual relations with little boys, abortion, and open racism toward both whites, blacks and Latinos (conservative ones),

Oh. And abortion.

At least you pay tribute to Sarah Palin by believing her claim of Christianity...not like these phony-ass liberals.

[ironhorzmn]

Who says Iraq was unsuccessful?

Saddam has been deposed, tried and executed, there's a popularly elected government in office and most of our troops have left.

Some US troops will remain in Iraq but probably fewer than have remained in South Korea for the last six decades.

If you're going to continue in your ignorance and illogic, I'm going elsewhere.

[tootwofunny]

this C U Next Tuesday sally sends a shiver up my leg. I hope she gets cervical cancer (because our new socialistic govt doesn't want women to ge tested) and dies quickly.

[Underdog123]

Well Yes the Liberals have their Bias but the right has more Distorted her I mean FOX NEWS is far from True Professional Jouranlism, I mean If she Converted toIslam and Became a Muslim Conservatives would call her a Traitor.

I'm not saying she would do that but You know Talk Radio, FOX NEWS and The Right Wing's Hatred towards Muslims, the Ones on the Left never have the Hatred the Right does, and Its really a Good Thing I don't watch FOX NEWS Period.

[gunhomacone0]

Sally Quinn, is apparantly really smart....... even though she can't understand that God does have a plan, but he doesn't make our choices for us, it's really not that hard.......... but then again, I'm just a dumb christian.

[aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa]

@gunhomacone0 :"Dumb christian"; these words fit so well together.

[Sendo911]

bill loves Palin soo much almost makes me sick..

Palin has no credibility to run for president.

Ventura 2012, or 2016.

[yahazif]

If Sarah Palin said, "I drink water" the liberal media would go into a tizzy. The night Sarah Palin gave the Republican convention address the Liberal Establishment of America erupted in abject hatred. Before they even knew the woman they set her up as the archangel of Satan and ran with the image. It has been and continues to be amazing to watch. But we all know what happens when people hate. Their hatred consumes them. In the end Sarah Palin will be standing and laughing at these fools.

[keemm1]

Does not sound like Sally Quinn read the Palin's book

[khmerluve]

I think this world is full of hypocrisy.

Dalai Lama, a humble monk, who always seeks peace for himself and others hardly even mentions the word, "God" or even "Buddha." He is truly a smart man with tremendous sense of understanding of common general issues of humanity.

However, those who preach religion and God everyday of their lives tend to choose wars and violence for their own gains in the name of God.

[AnthonyNpplboy]

If they behave otherwise, then their words are meaningless. In other words, they weren't really Christians.

[FyodorShuss]

Sally Quinn was way more generous and fair than she needed to be here. All of her questions are legitimate and bear asking of someone vying for any policy-making role.

[tumaknoel]

This atheist is a hack newspaper reporter. She has no credibility! This interview only exposed the leftist agenda of hatred for God and anyone who believes in God.

[deathVANQUISHED]

Sold more than every book written in english other than the Bible and Harry Potter. Of course religious people like to forget that the Harry Potter franchise exists.
