#2 "...who have perverted the faith of Islam."

I don't think Sen. Obama understands about the documents that underlie faith. He claimes to be Christian, but as far as I can tell has no clue what Christianity is about. And now this comment showing that he has NO clue on what the core tennants of Islam are.

Someone this out of touch would not be good for the country.

#4 Yup, and a good thing, too, since O'Reilly would have gone after him otherwise.

#5 You can "pervert" Islam as much as you can pervert a pedophile

This is an opportunity for McCain should hold the "0" by the nose and kick him in the ass!

#7 The first part of the interview could have been better. I understand Obama not wanting to put details on the table regarding Iran but what about North Korea? Russia? China? I hope they are not done talking about Foreign policy.

#8 All fairly soft questions.

He doesn't think that the surge has all that much effect on what happened in Iraq? How does he think Anbar Awakening came about?

Because we were the 'stronger tribe' in the region.

#10 Is it just me, or has Bill O'Reilly begun drinking the Obama Kool-Aid?

#11 O'Reiley only drinks O'Reily Kool-aid.

#12 O'Reilly wants the top level of liberals to come on his show. They have all boycotted fox. He's bending over backwards to seem fair to Obama.
