Bill O'Reilly vs. Bruce Andrews

[TeaEarlGreyHot]

So they whole point of being a professor is that your supposed to like, think things and have opinions.  That's what the institution is all about.

[bajshall]

very nice by using a qoute from another class! out of context debating ftw

[mongol311]

This clip gives me the inspiration to spit at Fox News anchors, and write essays for Bruce Andrews class, which I am doing, as we speak. Although O'Reilly does seem to enjoy Andrew's catholic Fordham credibility quite a bit.

[megasycophant]

One of the core problems is that from Bill O'Reilly's viewpoint, education and indoctrination are the same thing. If educators teach people to think for themselves, people like him are in big trouble.

[edstercw]

Dafty, he couldve said the leactures were different from the required reading. And he couldve said he keeps his views out of teaching, allowing him to truthfully admit his stance.

Cam keeps on his face when Bill asks a provocative question, it's a bit unbalanced

[FeelOfFriction]

This is so stupid i cant stop laughing. what a waste of time.

[EmmaYaBasta]

Bruce is a wonderful teacher, scholar, and thinker. More educators should expose the idiocy of the Right - quite easy, i.e. Americans ain't stupid - with similar appearances.

[combcard]

i love the way O' Reilly says "anti-american" when he really means "anti-bush", i would sincerly love to stomp the living shit outta that lying piece of scum

[a0adio0]

Classy there.

[tjlawson20]

That isn't what he means. He's criticised Bush and Republicans plenty and has caught alot of shit from conservatives as well as liberals

[Wesh67300]

Many universities make their students read "Mein Kampf" to make you understand Hitler, which doesn't mean they want to turn them into some kind of nazi mass murdering fuckhead!

[johnnyherb]

.............Yes, Andrews is who he is, however, a good teacher does not 'shape the class', he/she only there to disclose and uncover various views. Andrews tries to explain this, but O'Reilly just can't understand it. As he can't understand most things that are remotely against Bush/America...etc.

[johnnyherb]

I am continually amazed at how divided and not 'fair and balanced' the American media is. O'Reilly is the master of aggresive journalism, he speaks louder and tries to put words into his guest's mouths "your opinion and Scheer's opinion is the same"...etc. It is frankly frightening.

[wallenz]

Since when did speaking the TRUTH become anti American?!?!. Surely littel Bill should have said "Anti Necon/Nazi/Zionist/rigth wing Christian"...and no, thats not anti American. That's PRO AMERICAN, PRO TRUTHS and PRO the entire world. Glad that the vast majority of Americans are waking up by kicking these demonic bastards whom have HIJACKED their great nation to the curb!

God bless them

[tomspencer155]

O'reilly's an idiot. He doesn't understand the point of these classes. Asking about pro capitalist books, when it clearly had nothing to do with capitalism. Asking about pro American, what does that even mean? He waters it down to America is 'good'. And how a anti-bush book translated into an anti american book is beyond me.

[Northgrant]

This guy's phd should be revoked immediately and his students made to take another course altogether.

[mortalmerlin]

Thankfully phd's can't be revoked because he doesn't follow the Neo-con sanctioned teaching method.

[Northgrant]

So according to your 'logic', I can go into a class and say that for example Stalin was a good man- someone you could have a beer with and shoot the shit and that communism is 'good' even though it has caused, up to this point' 100 000 000 deaths thus far.

[mortalmerlin]

Geting a phd involves more than just sitting in a class and talking. Thinking is also a useful skill, but sadly not encouraged in schools anymore.

Try listening again to the vid and tell me where he says communism is good?

[Northgrant]

Yes I realise that. You have to mingle with other leftists as well.

And btw, there is only one other (used) economic system in this world and that is communism. To be anti-american is to reject capitalism and go for the alternative. Jesus, it is like pulling teeth to get leftists to like the West instead of our enemies.

[mortalmerlin]

"only one other (used) economic system in this world and that is communism"

Maybe you should check again.

[sirrudeboy]

um...why? he's studied, he's worked, and now he educates. why should he lose his job because he disagrees with conservative views? The only one in the interview promoting a political agenda was the host; who refused to accept the line of conversation and proceeded to condemn the guest for being "anti-bush"

[Northgrant]

Yeah funny you should say that, all the while kids are getting failed b/c they refuse to say death to america and go to communist gatherings. Hey, I've worked, does that mean I can try and destroy the economy and break the will of the nation? ummmm no...

[bostonbruins4]

George W Bush is the Real War Criminal, He is just another Hitler Wannabe Dictator, set on taking over the world one Oil rich country at a time....

[maverick2]

The far-left usually leads to communism. The far-right usually leads to fascism. Leaving politics out of the question, I don't think O'Reilly is far-right enough to be considered a fascist. I also don't think that that book is appropriate for that course.

[AlexMarkey]

I took Andrew's class at Fordham: A real piece of shit, just like O'Reilly. The two deserve each other.

[BillP3]

O'Reilly argues about Professor andrews far-left views and during the whole argument just subconsiouly pushes his extremely Far-right views.

[Northgrant]

Yes, sticking up for one's country is a real far-right sin.

[wesscoast]

OMG.. Reilly always looks foolish talking to academics. ... He's still talking about Communism vs. Capitalism... wow

[docisais]

LOL... He's so cocky, he thinks he can take on a professor in his own subject and make him look stupid!! Its funny how he ends up looking more of a moran at the end of the segment then when he opened the segment...
