Ellen DeGeneres Thanks Bill O’Reilly for Defending Her in JCPenney Debate

Television personality Ellen DeGeneres thanked “The O‘Reilly Factor’s” Bill O’Reilly this week after the host blasted critics who demanded DeGeneres be fired as a spokeswoman for JCPenney stores due to her sexual orientation.

After “The Ellen Show” host was announced as the department store’s spokesperson, a conservative group known as the “Million Moms” condemned the decision to have a lesbian represent the mega-chain.

Coming to DeGeneres’ defense, O’Reilly said he didn’t think firing DeGeneres was in keeping with “the spirit of America.”

“What is the difference between a McCarthy era communist blacklist in the 50s and the Million Moms saying, ‘Hey, JCPenney and all you other stores, don’t you hire any gay people, don’t you dare’ What is the difference?” O’Reilly said.

On her show Wednesday, DeGeneres thanked the Fox host saying, “you didn’t really make it clear if you were going to shop at JCPenney but if you do you can use my employee discount any time you want.”

      Some stores don’t like excons representing either. Free market and businesses can make these kinds of choices Bill. Are we suggesting this is a hate crime too? Just discrimination. I don’t think they ever should have hired her though. I just have never found her even the least bit entertaining much less a role model or spokesperson worthy of this kind of representation. Maybe Martha Stewart is available. They certainly do not represent typical traditional family values so not good for spokespeople.

      Well, Bill, McCarthy (although the “blacklist” was an FBI thing that McCarthy had nothing to do with) was a sitting Senator with the power of subpoena, and Million Moms is just a private advocacy group.

      She has a right to earn a living, just like the rest of us.

      It is up to us to TEACH our children right from wrong.
      Sheltering them from it and PRETENDING it does not exist does our children no favor!
      It is the same as teaching a man to fish, vs giving a man a fish.

      Bill took the high road in this.
      CLASSY, Bill !!

      If we stood up for the rights of others, even the rights of those of whom we may not approve,
      they would respect us more, they wouldn’t fear us so much, and they wouldn’t attack us so much.

      We need to be setting an example, not only for our children, but also for those we believe to be sinners. “Judge not that you be not judged.” -Matthew 7:1

      Whether Bill O’Reilly defends this lesbian woman is immaterial to me. While I agree with some of what he says, there’s much that is wrong-headed about some of his beliefs.

      A lesbian SHOULD NOT be a role model visible to children on television.

      If she underwent intense psychotherapy she could be cured, but, like an alcoholic or a drug addict, she likes her lifestyle and doesn’t want to be helped.

      That’s not a role model for children. If O‘Reilly thinks that’s o.k., let him expose his own kids to her. I have no objection to that.

      He’s been leaning left now for quite some time, because he’s nearing the end of his career and thinks he can gain more acceptance that way, but he’s going to lose his most dedicated supporters.

      What exactly are you trying to say? Are YOU ok with an alcoholic, fornicator, gambler, or ex con representing your organization? If so, have at it. The fact remains, all these (including homosexuals as you apparently admit) are indicators of a morality problem. Particularly when such persons are unrepentant.

      You also said “Sorry, but it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY as parents to teach our children to be STRONG and to arm them with the armor of God. If we raise them up in the way they should go, they will not depart from it.”

      Well, if you you and the “rest of us need entertaining,” how about recognizing the truth when you hear it and being entertained by that?

      The psychiatric assns. for hundreds of years recognized homosexuality as a mental disease, and it wasn’t until recently they dropped it for political reasons, pressured and manipulated by droves of homosexuals inundating the field.

      That homosexuals can‘t be cured is just more flim flam from the radicals on the left in their never ending attempts to make this society into one like Orwell’s 1984, where the truth is whatever Big Brother wants it to be.

      @Robert,
      You’re incredible! :-D You’ll talk yourself into believing ANYTHING to justify your paranoia and ignorance. If the Psychiatric assoc. abandoned it’s belief that being gay is a mental disorder, it wasn’t for political reasons. It was because the idea was found to be untrue. It could not be substantiated by fact. The only people who believe it to be a disorder (and fear it immensely) are close-minded individuals like yourself who can’t accept anything other than their own narrow view of the world.
      Good luck to you pal.

      @Slappy-,
      I don’t care if the Million Moms boycott JCP. I don’t think Ellen will either. She gets her check up front, buddy. If MM’s want to boycott, let’em. In fact, I’d like to see them march all day or maybe Occupy JCPenny! Seems like a pretty big waste of time to me. Here’s the thing,.. Every time the christian based conservatives raise a fuss over gay this or abortion that or rock lyrics or WHATEVER,… they think they are winning the battle against that which they disapprove of. But in actuality, what they are really doing is throwing fat on the fire and drawing attention to the other side. The moment you engage in the fight, you loose. The other side will NEVER give up, NEVER give in and NEVER go away. You only make them stronger. If you just lived your own lives and let everyone else live theirs,… voila! Peace and harmony throughout the land. But you guys will never understand this concept.

      ” You’ll talk yourself into believing ANYTHING to justify your paranoia and ignorance”

      I deal in the facts from the top down. The paranoia is all yours, El Twinko. Your perversions will never be mainstreamed. You’ll save yourself a lot of angst and frustration if you quit trying to buck human nature and common sense.

      ” If the Psychiatric assoc. abandoned it’s belief that being gay is a mental disorder, it wasn’t for political reasons. It was because the idea was found to be untrue.”

      It was political pressure, pure and simple. Homosexuals are rampant in the field of psychology and to a smaller degree in psychiatry. Trying to convince anyone with at least half a brain that homosexuality isn’t a mental disorder is an effort in futility.

      Imbeded deep within all living creatures is a desire to procreate and anything that short-curcuits that desire is abnormal. It is a necessity to assure the perpetuation of the species.

      What you’re maintaining is that homosexuals were born that way and are freaks of nature. Actually, I’m being much kinder than you are, because I think they’re mentally ill.

      Don’t be so naive, little guy. The first thing totalitarians infiltrate in order to change the collective thought of a society is the organs of communications and mental health in order to change thinking and to dominate. Your leaders are working night and day to flim flam anybody t

Her supporting cast was funny, but her verbal mannerism humor got tedious – still she KILLED her own show with the GAY all the time crapola. Also remember her Mother on TV a lot with the friends of LGBT. So she is NOT the one who does NOT push her activism; she did it in spades in the beginning. In some ways she’s more insidious.

      McCarthy was right. That’s the difference. I defend JCP and Ellen D. promoting the company…but O’Reilly painting McCarthy and those who fought Communism (and Communism’s ugly stepchild Progressivism) infiltrating every faucet of our government and media at the time, as being somehow wrong, immoral, or bad is disgusting. Yay for Ellen and gays being able to work like the rest of us….Boo for Billy perpetuating the false meme that McCarthy was wrong or was on some fictitious witch hunt. As a teacher of history O’Reilly should know better.

      Amen Whitefall! I saw the segment too and couldn‘t believe O’Reilly on this one! JC Penny is supposed to be a family friendly name brand store – and they choose Ellen to be their spokesperson and face of their company? Are their financials that bad that they couldn’t afford a better option? Not to mention the fact that McCarthy was right no matter how many times the lefties cry about the whole episode in history! Alger Hiss was a communist spy too while we are at it and I will NEVER shop at JC Penney again after this move just like I am not shopping at Home Depot with all their homosexual advocacy. Looks like Penny’s days really are numbered.

      Hold it! Nike got it right? They rehired a dog killer (Michael Vick) as a spokesperson and that’s better than J.C. Penney hiring a lesbian (Ellen)?

      I don’t believe that gay or lesbian spokespeople are the best choice for “spokesperson” for a business that defines it’s customer base as “traditionally family orientated” – the majority who want to raise their children with a heterosexual lifestyle. But to say “Nike got it right,” by hiring a tried and convicted killer of domesticated dogs & J.C. Penny got it wrong? I’ll support a gay or lesbian person as a spokesperson for a for profit company 100 fold before I will ever patronize a company that uses a tried and convicted killer of innocent, domesticated pets.

      We can explain the difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality to children and aid them with lessons in critical thinking to evaluate opinions on homosexual lifestyles once they become of age. But telling our children it‘s okay to support an adult DOMESTICATED PET KILLER as a spokesperson before even considering a lesbian is hypocrisy and sin at it’s height.

      O’Reilly has morphed into an news analyst gone soft on controversial issues and his comparison of the McCarthy era to a homosexual life style was downright ludicrous. Ellen is still funny when she keeps her sex life out of the jokes . . . but Michael Vick will forever be a dog killer who did what he had to do to get back a multimillion dollar contract. Nike did not get it right!

      Actually, where bill is wrong in this comparison is the fact that Joe McCarthy was actually correct about the infiltration of commies.
      Who cares who business’s choose as their spokesperson? Why can’t people deal with their own problems and stop all this activism against everyone else? It is stupid and unproductive. Why is there no activism against people who failed to remain pure before marriage? That would be because 99% of you would be harassed for it. Worry about your own sins and the world will be a better place. Lent is coming and it is a good time to ponder your own failures and repent. Lead by example. Attacking others and their lifestyles converts nobody and only creates enemies. Demonstrate that good moral living and piety create a more fulfilling and happier life. It will catch on.

      In case you haven’t noticed, JCP is/was already in trouble. I suspect that the DeGeneres thing is the act of a drowning retailer, willing to try anything to stay afloat. The sad thing, of course, is that it lends legitimacy to the homosexual lifestyle.

      CITIZENCINDY – I agree with you about Nike and Vick, they should not have resigned him either. I was only referring to Nike “getting it right” solely by pulling Tigers sponsorship. I do hope that Vick has changed after paying his debt to society, but I do however feel after some lines are crossed certain opportunities should also be forfeited as a consequence of those actions even if there is remorse. The problem here is that EDJ stands for one set of values (with no remorse) which is fine and more power to her. She is now being paid to represent a company claiming opposite family values other then what she lives. Bill is wrong to say that we shouldn’t speak out with those million moms and for him to say it is wrong is the same as saying he should never voice his opinion on social issues again as well. Let Ellen work where ever she wants for whom she wants that is fine, I just don’t want a hypocritical stand or profit to be made under the guise or banner of Family Values.

      Congratulatons Kathleen, the Evans’ book on McCarthy (The Untold Story) is excellent in providing the truth. Too many people, including O’Reilly, are ignorant of much of our history and are not motivated to learn the truth. McCarthy was maligned by both Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson. From the book (P.445) “By the advent of 1953, we had used up almost our entire bag of tricks against McCarthy, without marked effect……three years had passed…….and he was still coming on stronger.”

      It is a travesty that McCarthy and Nixon are maligned and FDR, LBJ, and Carter are given a pass!

    I‘m not a fan of Bill O’Reilly, but I appreciate the stand he took on this issue.

    Friends, my fellow Americans, this is America, and we are a capitalistic country. JCPenny customers vote with their dollars. Ellen DeGeneres is probably the most friendly, easy-to-like person in television today. She’s loved and humored by all her viewers and few could find her objectionable in any way, except those who it who are simply offended by anyone openly gay and successful.

    JCPenny pays Ellen for advertising because their target demographic like her. and their target demographic is mostly straight women. People like Ellen because she’s Ellen, and the generally unspoken fact that she’s is in a committed relationship with another woman is irrelevant in the eyes of her fans.

    Million Mothers, if you don’t like capitalism, go live in North Korea. If you don’t like gays, go to Iran. They don’t have gays there, they say. But this is America, a capitalistic country. If you don’t like it, leave. And take Santorum with you.

      Freedom, no, the million moms (or hundred moms, or two moms most likely) are objecting to JCPenny having a spokesman who is a loved television personality who is loved by millions because she is friendly and entertaining TV personality. Yes, she’s in a committed relationship with a woman and has said that. But that’s not a problem with JCPenny, and her viewers and fans don’t care. She’s simply a great TV host, and that’s what people see her as. She doesn’t take “lesbian stance,” as you say.

      Million moms can dislike someone because they are lesbian. That’s fine, this is America. But so what?

There is a huge difference in judging an individual and the idea of gay marriage. Knock Knock. Whose there? Your neighbor come to ask a few questions. Are you a murderer, are you a liar, are you a thief, are you an adulterer, are you a different skin color, are you lusting after anyone, are you gay, are you a gossip, are you rich, are you poor. Well, ya, I’m here to jjudge—whoops.prejudge before the Lord gets here. It ain’t my job and especially in America land of opportunity and individualism. Ellen is funny. On the other hand if people are offended they don’t have to shop anywhere. Everything is made in China after all. As for Santorum those are his values and am sure he would be a fine President for all Americans just not for gay marriage (I wouldn’t think).

      They’re already in jail. Imprisoned by bigotry and fear and hate and all that they do not understand.
      I used to try to talk with these folks. Try to reason with them. Help them to open their eyes and their minds and attempt to understand they had no reason to fear or hate the gay community. I was among you once. I used to fear them. Make fun of them. Until I realized how stupid that was. Now I understand. And because I understand, I am free. The truth really does set you free.

      I hope you make parole soon too.

      Sounds like you need to take your own advice. Repent. Learn to treat others with respect. Do you think Jesus would chastise or offer love and understanding? The hardest part of repentance is recognizing and admitting to the sin in the first place. Take care of your own soul and set and example for others to follow.

    Bill O’Reilly is wrong. J.C. Penney can hire whomever they wish,but we people of faith are completely within our rights to demand she be fired. We are the market force at work, and if Penny’s keeps her, we will just keep our money. Just like Macy’s at Christmas time with the tranies in the ladies dressing rooms had lower sales revenue, hurt Penny’s in the pocket and we win either way. Bill, why don’t you mind your loofah collection and quit trying to tell us how we should live and think. Who do you think you are, Moochelle Obama?

      Yes you are within your right to demand she be fired, but you would be of better service to your cause to simply not shop there. This is a free market/free speech/free enterprise society. Corporations react to the market.
      You and those of your ilk calling for her to be fired or calling for boycotts only draws attention to JC Penny. People like you not only make all people of faith look like zealots, you ultimately end up causing misery.
      I am sure Ellen would not be relegated to a life of financial misery if she were to be fired, but Suppose they do fire her, then what…do you plan on making all of your purchases from JC Penny as a reward for firing Ellen; or will you still not shop there as punishment to that corporaion for hiring her in the first place.
      This is a company that at least has American people working on the retail end, and as menial as those jobs are, that is still just that many fewer people on the government dole. Those are the people you hurt.
      A business’ reaction to the market is what makes a business sink or swim. Bad decisions usually sinks a business, But you, in your blind rage will ultimately help JC Penny with the free advertising you generate with this fake controversy. You, ultimately have generated the oppisite of your cause. This will only further Ellen’s marketability.

    Even if you thing homosexuality is a sin, I know lots of people who sin in lots of ways and I still love them. According to the bible sex out of wedlock is a sin. Do these people boycott every star who has children out of wedlock, or cohabitates? Ellen is never in your face about her sexuality. She doesn’t try to hide it, but doesn’t rub your nose in it. It is a relatively private matter for her, as it should be. she’s promoting products, not an agenda. She just seems like a genuinely nice person.

I am a Christian and despise the militant LGBT or whatever community that spreads their nastiness around but any person, just living their life and not forcing their viewpoint on me is going to receive the same respect from me. I think ellen is a kind funny human being and agree with bill on everything but the Mccarthy reference. Boycotting pennies is anyones choice but it will not be one I would make. Live and let live

Figured for the price of the membership, I certainly was not going to by lied to. That made it a good deal right there for starters! I don’t always agree with Beck (It’s more that I hope he is wrong) and I deeply appreciate the extent he and his team go to, to bring us the news, Amy Homes, in her news segments, reports news the regular media too often doesn’t touch on. We’re treated as adults on GBTV! I find that message refreshing!

      Also everyone needs to remember that BillO is no freind of the constitution or our freedoms – he is perfectly happy when the government poops all over our bill of rights for the sake of HIS beliefs. Case in point.

      Why is O’Reilly a “pervert” for defending someone from a prejudicial attack?
      Ms. DeGeneres has kept her lifestyle choices fairly private and has not used her public platform for “in-your-face” advocacy. As far as I’ve ever seen, she’s always been a fair and decent person.
      And I am glad O’Reilly took up her cause. Apart from the fact that I think it the right thing to do, I also am glad there is a public conservative figure who has demonstrable evidence for being fair-minded on the issue of gay rights.
