Yesterday on his Radio Factor, Bill O'Reilly tried as hard as he could to come up with something that proved the case those dang smear sites were making. That the Fox News channel is racist. He even brought on the ever brilliant, albeit Fox News consultant, Prof. Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a real live African-American, to try to help him. Problem is, Bill nor Prof. Hill ever looked at the "Fox's Quarterback" (Bill's own egoless designation) himself. In one of the most incendiary columns ever written, "Race And The Presidential Election," Bill O'Reilly sets the race-bait bar to record-breaking...depths. Short of saying that Barack Obama wants to sleep with your pearly-white daughter, O'Reilly used just about every button meant to alarm his white fans to the fact that Barack Obama is BLACK and that just his running for, let alone becoming, president, could set off race-laced fireworks. Of course Bill said this wasn't race-baiting as he was just reporting the facts (despite Prof. Dr. Hill's protestations that day), here were just a few comments from Bill's column... "Obama seems to be in. Now comes the hard part--convincing Americans that he is the best choice for president without all hell breaking loose on the race front." Since when does convincing Americans that a candidate is the best choice lead to "hell breaking loose," unless you want your reader to believe it can? "Thanks partly to Reverend Wright's now immortal 'the USA of KKK' remark, the race factor has emerged big time in this election. If you don't believe me, just look at the vote in North Carolina and Indiana." Reverend Wright, Reverend Wright, Reverend Wright. Remember, Bill's just reporting the facts, not READ THE REST OF THE STORY HERE Award-winning television writer and author of "Great Failures of the Extremely Successful," and blogs at steveyoungonpolitics.com. www.greatfailure.com A talk show host, author, columnist,award-winning television writer and filmmaker, his inspiring book, "Great Failures of the Extremely Successful" (Tallfellow Press) has been published internationally and has become required reading in the Wharton School of Business Masters Program.

Racism and Sexism Racism and Sexism are the easiet cons of all. It is always something from nothing plus divide and rule. (O'Reilly knows that the search for proof on something obvious is the perfect diversion.) by

Just an ordinary nobody who's glad he took typing in 9th grade.
What a stretch This is a bit of a stretch. This O'Reilly column is supposed to point to some kind of "racism"? by

Fox News Racism.... ...just off the top of my head, didn't they just recently Photoshop a Jewish journalist they didn't like by giving him an exaggeratedly bulbous nose just like the WW2 propaganda posters that portrayed "sinister" ethnic Jews with big bulbous noses.... I also recall an incident where FOX showed a graphic with John Conyers' name and they showed pictures of indicted Congressman William Jefferson. They failed to apologize... http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Conyers_issues_statement_after_Fox_News_0605.html ...FOX also has Karl Rove on as a commentator even though "caging lists" containing the names of thousands of black voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls in 2004 emanated from his office, sent directly by his top assistant Tim Griffin. No prosecution or investigation has resulted from this shocking evidence which could carry a felony count for every single name on the list if it can be proven that race was in any way part of the decision to add the names. Another regular FOX commentator is Ann Coulter who has said that Arabs in war torn areas during the Israel/Lebanon conflict should be wiped out and that Arabs should be profiled in airports. I think O'Reilly even took the same position himself. by
