Bill O'Reilly has long stuck in my craw. There's no doubt that he's smart and accomplished. He certainly knows how to blow the ratings doors off his counterparts at other cable networks. But he's astonishingly clumsy at walking his self-imposed fine line between objectively assessing the fault lines in our culture and offering his own opinion.
He really got it wrong last night in a segment with Megyn Kelly, when he said that the pro-keep-the-definition-of-marriage side in the current debate had nothing to offer but "Bible-thumping."
Several pundits have gone after him on it today, but none with the sharpness of Mark Levin. The Great One even manages to get in little digs at some choice examples of O'Reilly-speak, such as "the folks" and "secular progressives."
Bill needs a good smackin' from time to time, and he got one today.
