It happened to us too
My husband and I are in our early 50s. We've had a nearly identical experience with his parents, who were moderate country-club Ohio Republicans until they retired and began watching the Fox channel all day. As a result of several heated political changes over the years, we barely talk to them now. We are not radical leftists, and my husband is the embodiment of his dad's Calvinist cultural values -- but as a member of the reality-based community, he rejects O'Reilly's hate speech.
The kicker for us was when my husband received a group e-mail from his dad with some political rant ... and it was cc'd to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.
