I know you want it, oh so bad, to be true JP. Alas, it isn't. Oreilly was talking to a black guy when he made his comment. Said black guy defended him.
You really should learn to think for yourself and not take your talking points from ideological blogs.

You consider that racist? WOW, your just abit overly sensitive I think.
Yeah. You're shocked that this innocent comment could possibly be construed as racist. He said exactly what is quoted below, and it means what it seems to mean: O'Reilly was surprised that blacks act like "normal people". September 27, 2007, 11:00 am
Pinkt vi Menschen
I’m coming late to the story of Bill O’Reilly, who was amazed at the civility in a Harlem restaurant: “I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship.”
Anyway, what it reminded me of was an often retold family story: my great-grandmother visited Coney Island and was surprised to see black families enjoying themselves at the beach. “Pinkt vi menschen”, she said – just like people.
But she was an uneducated immigrant from Ukraine, and this was circa 1930. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/pinkt-vi-menschen/[/quote]  can you dig up what you said about this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIT3jUrNTX0just to show me that your truely fair and balanced. |

And of course you'll never hear anything about this from Olberman. What a joke the far left is becoming. |

So you are inferring there was a time in which "the far left" was not a joke, or less of a joke. When was that time? Tell us, Sharp, in your long years of experience, when that was. What changed? What turned "the far left" into more of a "joke"? Educate us, please. |

Educate us, please. Around the time of JFK. Ah yes, the Civil Rights era. That was also about the time that Barry Goldwater was marching the GOP in a far right direction and just before Nixon introduced his Southern Strategy to court opponents of Civil Rights. Ever since, those who rode the GOP train to the far right has been shrilly denouncing their political opposition as the "far left". Funny how that works. |

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - who supported it? Democratic President LBJ was instrumental. He cobbled together a coalition of liberal Democrats and Republicans to support it. The kind of liberal Republicans that have pretty much been eliminated from the GOP today. There remain a few--mostly from the New England states. |

A greater percentage of the republicans voted for civil rights actually. I don't know JP, maybe the far left has always been a joke........ |

I don't know JP, maybe the far left has always been a joke........ Is that the end of the story, Sharp? Or does it go on? Let's see, then the backlash of the Southern white racists began. And who cozied up to them? The Democrats? Or was it the Republicans with their Southern Strategy? And is that why the Democratic Party lost their solid support in the South? Because they didn't cozy up to the racists while the GOP was happy to? Is that what happened? Is that why Republican National Committee Chairman Mehlman said the following? "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems. What part of this do you consider a joke, Sharp? |
