No, I don’t think so. O’Reilly is a mostly undercover leftie. Every now and then he lets the mask slip. He knows perfectly well what Obama is.

O'Reilly just couldn’t believe that the Democrats would do a thing like that.

Every bodyknows the Democrats use racism. Its a just matter of privledge for the Democrats. They can use their bias without fear of condemnation. O’Reilly is merely afraid that he is liable to be sliced up like a stick of bologna and have his turnip truck taken away .

Hussein is making best efforts to fan the fires of racism.

He is the one “acting stupidly”, possibly in need of beer summit.

It’s not even real racism they need and want, it’s just the perception that we are still a racist nation and living in a pre 1960s era world.

I don’t know if it would ever happen but I would give anything to see a GOP presidential candidate take on this issue and tell the blunt truth to Americans. Try to reach black voters by pointing out the facts of how they are being used and exploited by Democrats and that conservative principles support equality and opportunity for all. Conservatism is the true color blind ideology. It would not win over a majority of African American voters but if they could get a small number of open minded people to listen, it would be a start.

Oh, really gets it right sometimes and he isn’t as bad as some on FR say but he IS a classic example of someone who has an inflated opinion of himself. Back in the boonies in ‘55 he would have been described thusly, “He ain’t neerbout as smart as he thanks he is”.

Agreed! Best of the Web Today is a must read every day. Taranto’s sense of humor is fantastic!

Taranto is solidly on the right. Not sure how the rest of the WSJ runs, but he’s definitely on the correct side.

O’Reilly has a few things about which he’s not quite as informed as he thinks he is. But I’ll always remember him as the first anchor I ever saw on a television news show contradict the liberal lies to their faces.
