I think the Tiger situation could have been handled with an on aire apology, prefaced by the fact that a racial comment was not her intent, and an acknowledgement of the history behind the word "lynch." All the other commentary and protest was extra. There always needs to be varying levels of importance and response or else the -isms will become meaningless.

That's fine. I think that there comes a time when people; ALL people should be held accountable for their actions. I don't think it is overblown. I think that people are just too accepting of ignorance.

Fox may move in on O Reilly if ad agents pull out or any entity that donates money start to pull out...if that happens when that happens then that's when action will take place....

Learn from Imus...

O'Reily is really just a fool. Racist is just another adjective to his foolishness.

As long as he doesn't make himself a Pinhead instead of a Patriot. :p

O'Reilly isn't moved by Sharpton.

No, you're right. It's perfectly ok to walk around and say you're going to lynch black people.

I know Sharpton doesn't scare him but this will become another un needed side show

This isn't Dog the Bounty Hunter we're talking about.

And, you know, Bill Clinton and I don't agree on a lot of things, and I think I've made that clear over the years, but he's trying to stick up for his wife, and every time the guy turns around, there's another demagogue or another ideologue in his face trying to humiliate him because they're rooting for Obama.
That's wrong. And I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down.

Please tell me how this isn't a racist comment. He wouldn't say he would go and lynch Hillary Clinton.
