...Because if you just send Bill the Amazon card, he'll spend the money on other books. And we wouldn't want Bill to miss out on the history of real American patriotism.

Let him purchase his own damn books if he's interested in any new information. But I don't think he is.

...send them to him. Send them, and send them, and send them till he's drowning in these books. My suggestion wasn't meant as a way of actually "informing" him...it was a form of protest. If he gets a slew of these books, someone might get the point that he's pissed off the wrong people.

ever been interested in the truth? Asking him to read, and understand, a book about the contributions of non-white Americans is like asking to read a book about airplanes and expecting him to fly off, flapping his arms.

Bill O'Reilly is an ensconced asshole. He is a know it all, know nothing. He learns nothing new.

My favorite example when he went to the Harlem restaurant. He was surprised that the patrons didn't act like animals. What did he learn about the experience...nothing.

He is a racist who think it is his job to tell black people how to live properly.

..and he can't afford to appear as though he learned anything. He reminds me of 'morning Joke Scarborough',. one minute he learns something, and the very next segment he forgets what he just learned. I haven't watched 'morning Joke in almost 2 years and O'Reilly in 18 years.
