Do I really want someone with the middle name of Hussein as president?
No Way !
Nope, just realistic.
I am no big fan of OReilly but I hope he fires back at Star. He was indeed defending Mrs Obama, not slurring her in any way. Perhaps he should have known using the word “lynch” nowadays is getting to be a crime so he shouldn’t even have uttered it. But how sad and scary is it that words can now get you in deep trouble or perhaps even charged with a crime. “Track down?” Meaning he would find out her exact words or meaning? So now this is a threatening statement too? How absurd. I shudder to think what will happen to free speech if Obama becomes president.
How did this Star get to be a celebrity anyway? She is a nothing. She showed the level of her mentality on the “View” when she said something to the effect that the war on terror exists because Bush and bin laden are insecure over their manhood, or some idiotic comment like that.
“This is just another example of the left trying to hijack the language and control what can or cannot be said and create a class of victims in the process.”
Endorsed.
“a vindictive person will look for occasions for resentment”
White americans need to have many children and watch their borders...or USA will go on a bad path
Oh good grief. O’Reilly didn’t say anything racist. Star needs to get over herself.
I wonder if Star Jones would have Bill O’Reilly thrown in a Paddy Wagon and taken to jail??
Get real! How much of the world do we have to stake off and label as "sacred" just to satisfy an excessively vocal minority?
I think Star Jones said this beacuse her plate of ham and eggs was empty. She had to do someting else with her mouth.
Yes I think that will happen if Obama fails to be annointed POTUS. Personally I am stocking up my ammo supply.
People need to get over it. The term "to get lynched" has often been used in non-racial connotations.
At work, when we negotiate an especially good agreement with a vendor, we say we "lynched" them (and once in awhile, they "lynch" us).
People like Jones who are always looking for reasons to be offended disgust me.
The term “lynching” is not necessarily racist. It comes from an incident that happened in North Dakota, I believe, when an Irishman was hung by a mob o people who were angry about something they perceived he was guilty of. The man’s name was Lynch and so they called this type of action a lynching.
lynching: It defines an out of control mob who pass judgement without a trial or evidence, and then decide to take the law into their own hands and exact justice by hanging.
It’s a good thing I don’t watch or listen to the Hate Speech Factor....
RACISM is still an open festering wound with african american people. sad thing is, Mr. O’Reilly was NOT racist with his words...the lady protests a bit much.
what the heck does “hell to the naw” mean” is it something racist I haven’t heard about against white people?
Oh please..........
If he’s so willing to throw us under the bus, I’m more than happy to do the same.
And this is relevant - how?
