Unlesss you have been living under a rock for the past couple of days then you’ve probably heard of the controversy surrounding the Miss USA pageant.

Author and Gay rights avtivist, Wayne Besen, paid Bill O’Reilly a visit to give his two cents on the situation.  Now, I normally can’t stomach five seconds of  O’Reilly, but I was extremely curious about what he had to say. 

After watching the segment, I do believe O’Reilly had a valid point.  The girl shouldn’t be punished for her views.  The fact that she has certain beliefs should not have cost her the crown (and that’s assuming she was winning before the question was asked). 

However, I think O’Reilly is missing the point (as usual).  Some highlights from the interview:

O’Reilly: “This judge punished her because he didn’t like her point of view. That’s not what we do in America.”

“You have to tow a line to be a beauty queen?”

No, Bill, you do not have to tow a line to be a beauty queen. But you do have to know how to be all inclusive when answering a question.  We would be lying if we said her answer didn’t turn some people against her. Especially since the judge who asked the question is gay.  But I don’t think her point of view is the big picture.  It is her lack of creativity that was evident on the stage.  Just because you say “no offense” doesn’t mean people won’t get offended.

No offense, Bill O’Reilly, but I think you suck.
