O'Reilly: San Diego Padres Gay Night is "Social Engineering"

Bill O'Reilly hissed at the San Diego Padres' decision to offer hats to kids on the same night they were having a gay night, accusing the baseball team of "social engineering".

Rex Wockner reports on the "Christian" presence (about 75 picketed before the game started) and the performance of the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus:

"Chorus member Fergal O'Doherty told me: 'The crowd cheered when we marched out. Rainbow flags were visible waving in every section. There was no audible booing or hissing, to our shock and surprise. It was a breeze. [T]he Christian wackos from El Cajon were so few in number and so pathetic on TV, using worn out sound-bite platitudes like 'lifestyle' and 'protect our children,' to the yawns and boredom of all present.'"

  1. The thing I love about O'Reilly is that, although he can be too stuffy for me, he always defends gays when the serious issues come up. My favorite recent moment was when he had Tammy Bruce on as well as some crazy black activist (I forget the guy's name) who was insulting Bruce and telling her she needs to deal with all the incidents of pedophilia at gay pride events and the rampant pedophilia in the gay community. O'Reilly jumped in and said, "I see NO connection between homosexuality and pedophilia." Being the most-watched newsman today, even something as small as that makes a difference.
