At what point does someone completely lose their credibility?

Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, completely blew his top at a guest – as chronicled here.

I’m not going to resummarize that page, aside from that Jeremy Glick’s father was killed in the WTC, and he’s against the war in the Middle East. Bill O’Reilly calls him un-American, tells him his late father wouldn’t agree with him, and that he’s yelling – YELLING – at Glick, and will cut his mic out of *respect* for Glick’s father.

At what point do we all just *have* to point and laugh?

I would have thought, honestly, that O’Reilly’s crossed that line long before, but strangely, he continues to have supporters. People who say that he was *right* to get angry at Glick, and that his assertion that the Afghan people are indistinguishable from the Taliban, or Al-Qaida isn’t monstrous and blatantly ignorant, but rather, correct. But at what point does it become obvious to the general public that this guy’s supporters are complete buffoons, and that idiotic hatemongering and complete and utter lunacy deserve a place on national television? I would say, in a sense, that it doesn’t matter when that happens to the general public. It happens when his show stops generating revenue. So, kill the advertisers, kill the show. Definitely something to think about.
