O'Reilly, Beck spar over Westboro Baptist Church case
Fox News giants Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck debate the Westboro Baptist Church's right to picket at military funerals in this video clip.
This is a perfect example of how Beck plays to the emotions of his audience. O'Reilly's points appear to be researched and Beck's points seem to be reached for.
He is a carnival huckster and why O'Reilly squires him around the country to play to crowds is a mystery to me.
