The O'Reilly Factor

Bill O'Racist-I mean O'Reilly
...And I'm not talking about the Fox News show. Instead, I'm talking about how majestic it is that this man still has a job after his over the top blatant racists comments on the regular - might I add. Anywhere from suggesting population control for minorities so that Whites can stay the majority, to his condescendingly racist comments about restaurant customers in Harlem, it is no secret that Mr. O'Reilly is a racist. Recently, O'Reilly accused Sen. Barack Obama's wife of being unpatriotic and said "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there is evidence, hard facts that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels - that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever - then that's legit...We'll track it down." But what makes it worse is because other people in that same position, don't get away with it - we've seen the Golf Channel reporter, Kelly Tilghman say that the only way Tiger Woods' opponents would have a chance of beating him would be to "lynch him in a back alley." Woods forgave her and didn't take much offense, Tilghman was suspended. Great controversy has surrounded idiots that like to flaunt nooses and they've all been reprimanded but how come Bill O'Reilly gets away with so many of his racist remarks and doesn't get punished. I yearn for the day he publicly confronts Blacks or any other ethnic group on the streets. Michelle Obama originally said she hasn't been more proud of this country until now, here is the clarification. Bill O'Reilly Quotables (as late as 2003, I'm sure a lot more crazy comments has surfaced from then)
  • "Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps." (the Best Men are a performing group who live in the inner city of Washington D.C.)
  • On Immigration: We'd save lives because Mexican wetbacks, whatever you want to call them, the coyotes--they're not going to do what they're doing now, all right, so people aren't going to die in the desert."
  • "The most unattractive women in the world are probably in the Muslim countries."
  • On Black athletes suing over minimum academic standards for college participation "Look, you know as well as I do most of these kids come out and they can't speak English."
  • "We have black leaders in this country who blame everything on whitey, everything's the system's fault, and that gives a built-in excuse to fail and act irresponsible. 'Oh, I can't get a job. Whitey won't let me,' or 'I can't get educated. The teachers are bad, so I'm going to go out and get high and sell drugs. That's the only way we can make money here.' You know what I mean? And it's a vicious cycle."
  • (America)"must realize that racial demonization is now organized and well-funded, and it will not end until everyday people begin condemning it." He wasn't talking about himself, though; he was referring to critics who label him a racist.

Ralph Nader Will Create Madness by Joining It

Green Party Pioneer, Ralph Nader has decided to run for President...again. When will this guy ever learn that he can't win? Although he's making a stand by running and maybe even making a few people proud, by him joining the madness that is the Presidential election, will he create even more madness? There are some pundits that believe that the soon to be 74-year-old Nader won't have too much of an influence on either the voters or nominees, but it is easy to see differently, especially in November. Voters who will vote for Nader will more than likely be Independent, Green Party, and radical left wing Democrats - all voters who would have formerly voted for a Democrat. By Nader joining the race, he can take those voters away from the Democrats and also those who are undecided - all while not effecting right-wing voters at all. This could turn ugly. The two Democrats running seem to put up a facade as if they aren't worried about what could possibly happen - but it would be foolish and naive to think that they aren't thinking about it and might even alter their focus and speeches to rope the voters who would vote for Nader in, pleading for them to vote for someone who has a chance. Quotables:
  • "He thought that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush and, eight years later, I think people realize that Ralph did not know what he was talking about. My sense is that Mr. Nader is somebody who, if you don't listen and adopt all of his policies, thinks you're not substantive."- Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)
  • "It is very unfortunate...I remember when he ran before. It didn't turn out very well for anybody -- especially our country. This time I hope it doesn't hurt anyone. I can't think of anybody that would vote for Sen. McCain who would vote for Ralph Nader. Obviously, it is not helpful to whoever our Democratic nominee is. But, you know, it is a free country."- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
  • "I think it always would probably pull votes away from the Democrats and not the Republicans, so naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race." Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AK)
According to CNN.com, Nader encouraged people to look at his campaign Web site, www.votenader.org, which he said discusses issues important to Americans that Obama and Sen. John McCain "are not addressing."
