Joseph Minton Amann

Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O’Reilly

Previously Aired On: February 17, 2007 - Listen to this Show!

Authors Joseph Minton Amann and Tom Breuer have appeared on a number of radio and tv shows including MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Al Franken’s radio program on Air America. Their book Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O’Reilly has become quite a success and seems to indicate that alot of people hate Bill O’Reilly.

Bill O’Reilly is a man who believes he is a voice of reason. He calls for boycotting Canada, says Adolf Hitler would have been a card-carrying member of the ACLU, and thinks Hurricane Katrina victims seen carrying televisions should be shot on sight.

Amann and Breuer are the creators of the hugely popular website SweetJesusIHateBillOReilly.com - take a close look at O’Reilly’s own assertions and arguments - taken from his TV and radio shows, books and columns - to expose him for what he is: a self-righteous boob and a sham newsman. The ongoing themes explored in Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O’Reilly are that O’Reilly is a bit crazy, not all that sharp and, as the authors put it, about “as self-aware as a legume.” The result is a hilariously funny book, a great read for anyone who enjoys seeing a puffed-up blowhard taken down a notch or two - whether they’re an O’Reilly hater, fan, or something in between.
