If i heard and read this right, he used the phrase “lynching party” in reference on whether or not to attack/unload on Mrs. Obama.
Well, he may not be a racist, I have no idea, but he sure showed poor judgment.
She’s black. Lynching has an undeniable racial connotation in our country.
He probably wasn’t thinking when he said it, and didn’t mean anything bad by it, but, it’s not unreasonable for someone to point out he was being insensitive or careless in his language.
Apologize or not, his choice, but bottom line is, he said a dumb thing.
Um, does star jones realize that O'Reilly was basically defending Michelle Obama and basically trying to say, lets not jump the guy without and facts?
My god, even protecting Obama and co isn't good enough for this cult, you must bow down and worship him.
Sounds to me like Star is a racist herself.
Sounds like media matters is trying to lynch BOR.
Are we on the verge of race-religion wars? Probably.
Racism implies knowing his intention, which is not so clear in this instance. That said, given the recent lynching related comments and events (even those that were staged) he showed incredibly poor judgment in his choice of words.
Of course, this isn’t exactly the first time.
Oh please,where was Jones when they ran that ad in Texas against George Bush with the chain dragging behind a pick-up truck? That was alot more out of line then O’Reillys dumb comment.
I remember when O’Reilly first said this, a FReeper made the comment (perhaps jokingly) that some nut would probably accuse him of racism for using the word lynch. I guess it’s really gone that far. It is now a racist offense to even use the word lynch in any connection whatsoever with a black person.
The Left is salivating for civil war. They are employing Blacks as useful idiots, as per usual.
We'll just have to start referring to the word "lynch" as the L-word.
Not to worry.
McCain will be along tomorrow to apologize for Bill O’Reilly “insulting” remarks.
He’s on a roll.
Star Jones is DUMB.
When a moron accuses of racism, its a compliment.
These idiots have lost their mind.
O’Reilly is saying that I WON’T join the Lynching party and will explore what her intentions were (his words were track it down).
I don’t care for O’Reilly because I honestly think he is a pervert.
But he is no damn racist.
Then they must not care a whit about blacks: Conservatives (their enemy) are usually well-armed.
Seriously. Get ready for all criticism of Obama to be condemned as either subtle or overt racism if he becomes the nominee.
“.. don’t insult my intelligence...”
how could anyone read that tripe and NOT insult her [lack of] intelligence and articulation? And she gets paid for this?
Star...another great thinker from the Left.
Doesn’t anyone remember lynch parties from those old western movies?
And Obama's supporters better worry if the first candidacy of a black man is going to come across as really "sticking it to whitey"--that's going to turn off a lot of white voters.
Will they fight us primarily with their purses, their vandalism, or their shouting? I'm frightened!!
