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

Accountability means nothing if the actions of the employers mean nothing....think about it....
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...

I agree. I believe in freedom of expression; however, we can't just say any and everything. I live in Mississippi and believe me, racisim is very much alive and well here. I hear the n-word from our children everyday and it sickens me that they have embraced it as a badge of honor. Makes you wonder what all the sit-ins and marches were really for.

During his Talking Points:
He can stand behind what he says and simply say "I understand the history behind the word and would've used the same word if she had not been black...for those of you who are offended, I did not mean to offend."  That's an apology without an apology.
As long as he doesn't make himself a Pinhead instead of a Patriot. 
O'Reilly isn't moved by Sharpton.

Congratulations on contextually reducing "racism" to nothingness and unfoundedly using it as ammunition against someone you simply don't care for.
Hooray.

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

That's not what was said.
This isn't Dog the Bounty Hunter we're talking about.

It won't really. Just like people are still saying "Nas and Kelis who?"

Yay. I can pretend like I'm boycotting his show...as if I ever really watched his show and even knew when it came on.
I'm not pretending to boycott because of his initial comments. I'm pretending to boycott because of his interview with Sean Hannity where he shed crocodile tears and said that he's just NOW realizing that's not black. He had always been allowed to use certain words and he thought he was black.  Right.

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.

Never said that it wasn't...this is actually par for the course when it comes to Bill...but like I said earlier...why go chasing after him when we all know the end result.
and sadly enough...he said this while defending her...that's what makes this thing so dayumed hilarious
