Bill O'Reilly said something ill-considered, intemperate, insensitive and idiotic?

Noooooooooooo.........

Half a mill? Way to go, now Im off to steal Drews hubcaps while yall celebrate.

500,000 of continued crap links

five hundred thousand....does that count all the re-posts? because if it does...THIS IS A FALSE CELEBRATION!

huh?

O'Reilly with tEh fake lesbians ?

w00t! Lots of articles! w00t! Long live Fark!

And O'Reilly's a jackass.
/flamebait

"Bill has been wonderful to these boys. He puts his money where his mouth is."

If an infinite amount of mouth needs an infinite amount of money...

Who steals hubcaps anymore...for that matter, what are hubcaps?

Bill should know only black comedians are allowed to make jokes like that.

Fair and Balanced Tires!

woohoo!

We wouldn't have those problems if Strom Thurmond was president!

I want .046% of the credit.

I submitted the 500,000th link with a much funnier headline.



/had to be done

"Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps."

Ha that's funny! Good grief people get a sense of humor for christ sake!!

Somebody should have gone out and snatched ol' Bill's hubcaps at that point. Then mail him pictures from time to time showing the hubcaps visiting various exotic locations around the world.

Why has that woman stolen Jane Jetson's collar?

w000000000000t!

O'Reilly's got a pin up of the Bush daughters on his bathroom wall..

Or was that Uday Hussein?

"Bill has been wonderful to these boys. He puts his money where his mouth is."

Where's that? Satan's cock? Eww, gross!

an elitist, bigoted conservative? when did this happen? I thought they were "compassionate conservatives" now?

awww... I was really hoping It would be a Boobies Link

I will tell this story to my grand-kids.

Kittens will be extinct long before the 500,000th boobie link.

Just doing my part for this historical event...wow, 500,000 links...

/gonna read the article now

It won't show up for me for some reason. What'd he say?

Did Robert Bryd laugh?

five hundred thousand....does that count all the re-posts? because if it does...THIS IS A FALSE CELEBRATION!

A fictitious celebration, for a fictitious website, run by fictitious admins that post articles about fictitious right wing asshole newscasters? Shame on you, Drew Curtis, SHAME ON YOU!

people are too sensetive. PC conversation is uniformly boring.

ok, it's 240,000 minus all the Left-Eye and Vibrating Broom posts.

i won't tell my grandchildren about fark, i think. who's bill o'reilly? in the spirit of post 500K, i guess i could read the article, but...naah.

YEAH! This was my link! My third, fark's half a mil.

If you read further down the page you'll see that Ray Charles is going to perform at the Correspondent's Dinner this year.

You know what the last words out of Bush's handler's mouths will be...

Let's see... Everybody here thinks Rodney King needs to be beaten to death and what a funny joke about a group of black kids stealing hubcaps. Nope, no racsists here.

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2003/pipc10042003.html

500,000 links and not a single one of them submitted by me. Fark it.

I thought they were having soda and pie in this thread.
(sigh)

Congrat's Drew.

As for Bill O'Reilly... he made a joke get over it.... I would have laughed at it. Maybe these people need a sense of humor...

I think the guy meant the kids were stealing hubcaps because they are called the "Best Men." Not because they are a bunch of inner city kids.

wat yo go fark! way to go bill! truth hurts these people, you know? sad we can't say anything like that, but all other races are at the mercy of the vulgar and undeducated ebonicons. right? i will watch the factor even more religiously now.

great job folks!

Anyone who thinks what Bill said was insensitive should pull the lump of coal out of their butt, unless they are black.

Exactly Rasputin. Enough with this hypersensitive bullshiat.

O'Reilly said something stupid, there's a shocker. You mean there's some doubt that Republicans have problems with racism?

I'm more concerned that this woman thinks every black person in America is in drug treatment. And that she's in Congress. And that every member of the Republican party VOTED on the RECORD that they AGREE with her.



ObDrewLove: Fark rocks, Totalfark rocks, 500000 and counting! Fark on!

I'd hardly say donating $40k *per year* to the inner-city kids' program makes someone a racist when they make one dumb joke once off the cuff. Besides, last I checked, people that steal stuff off cars (including my fog lights) are of all different races. ;)

Farkingwaitaminute! Is that 500,000 Fark or TotalFark farklinks? Mefarkingthinks it is a TotalFark farkcount. How many farklinks have been on Fark?

I would think that O'Reilly would have known that only liberals are allowed to use off color humor.

This is a non-story.

White guys should not do Chris Rock.

Nubian, please.

B.O'R.ing

Malinois: "Don't forget NOT to wave." Hehe.

I posted in the 500,000th thread!

It's politically incorrect for a white person to make a joke about a minority.

But it is alright for a minority to make a joke about a white person. Double standards anyone?

You guys are hilarious. Trent Lott didnt say anything out of order, and now, neither did Bill O'Reilly? Yeah, its nice when those in power just SLIGHTLY put they're feet on the necks of the minority, its really funny, then, isn't it?

For christ's sake, I hope you idiots are just

First off, GO DREW!!!1 We are unworthy of walking where you spit.

Secondly. OMG!! Bill O'Reily said something stupid? I'm shocked. We hold our media figures to such a high level of moral rectitude. He has shamed Fox News!

Seriously, it's a shame that the monumental 500,000 article would be such a non-issue. The comment wasn't even that offensive.

if a legistator made that comment, o'reilly would be calling for his resgination.

funny how he tried to spin his comment by talking about the money raised for charity. in his no-spin zone, he'd probably say making donations to charity does not entitle you to be a racist.

but we all know o'reilly is a pompous asshat; the ellsworth toohey of our times. i'm glad he's around to make fun of.

My link to Congresswoman Barbara Cubin's website was broken and dropped out of my previous post.

Mangomango: How do you know it was a group of Black kids that were going to Lip Sync?? All it said was Inner City kids..

How racist of you to think only little black kids could lip Sync to the Four Tops.. fark you bigot.

Gee,

Thanks all, just on the day I went Total Fark. GWF

Hey wait is this an illuminati plot? Does 500000/76?

if drew just had a penny for every link posted on FARK...well, he'd be bare-assed poor.

Congrats! FARK Ueber Alles!

You guys/gals are cracking me up this morning.

Just another indication that if you give a conservative enough rope he'll eventually try to string a minority up with it.

Well, if the title bar says it's true, it must be 500,000. Speaking of bars... Bill needs to stop hitting them so hard.

My record for submissions. 1 in 500,000. Pathetic. Now if the mods picked good links, I'd probably be up to 2.

Oh, big deal. B O'R makes off-color joke, everyone cries. Lighten up people, it wasn't that bad.

OMG WTF 500,000th link?? Incredible!!!

Oh, shiat my taxes are due

i don't know. o'reilly makes a piss-poor joke and the pile-on begins. jesse jackson talks about hymietown and runs for president. everybody lighten up.

Jesus, O'Reilly is an idiot. I hate that guy.

While I TOTALLY agree that this is a non-story. I think the thing I find most amusing is, if someone from the other side of the fence made a similar comment, O'Reilly would've been all over the story. So it's only a non-story if it's someone from "our side" making the comment. If the person is from "their side" then it's time to be hypersensitive.

(500,000th link on Fark and 100th episode of SP in the same week....I don't know about you, but I'm looking over my shoulder for those horesmen.)

I'm with you Rtkane 1 in 500,000....

Drew, can we get a break down of how many boobies links we've had? I would guess at least 50,000 or so.

I guess everyone was upset that Bill called them stupid. Cuz smart niglets would've been stealing the stereos.

/runs

Half-a-million?!?!? Woohoo! To celebrate, maybe Drew should buy all a beer. How much money is there is the Fark beer fund?

Not the best place for a joke like that , but I am not going to crucify the guy..

Now if he said "Well another year another 40k for these ghetto trash to spend on crank." then i would lean towards the racist side.

Recockulous, tell me you heard what Cubin said. I was flipping thru the channels the other day and on CSPAN the House was doing nothing but arguing over "word retraction" or something of that nature. Cubin was in the middle of it, but they didn't say what she said.

Does it make the news when a black man makes fun of a white man?

/race baits

It is sad that we have to be so PC. Still, O'Really is an opinionated asshole and opinionated assholes should not be allowed to maintain a public presence.

So in my opinion. . .


Never mind.

racist -

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, 2000

1) Get a sense of humor
2) Everyone (as in the press)wants to stab at O-Reily because he makes so many lefters look stupid on TV
3) Carlos the commedian made a great point, quit being so freakin oversensitive and have fun with your life
4) I'm getting sick and tired of the "conservative guy said something racist if you think about it in a certain way" when assholes Like Mike Moore (moore as in more cheesburgers for my fat ass)say things like "9/11 woulnd't have happened if the passengers were all black"

and i always thought Bill O'Reilly was one of Australia's greatest ever bowlers..

Finally the world will see the Bill O'Reilly for the Mean-Spirited Bastard he really is.

Actually - I don't like that definition much. The problem with Bill's comment, particularly in that venue, is that it implies racial superiority.

"Next, on Russell Simmons Def Political Commentary..."

Please. No rioting. It's only a HALF million.

(congrats!)

Why wasn't 500,000 a boobie link?

At least a bad boobie link.

Cubin's Remarks

After noting that her sons, ages 25 and 30, "are blond-haired and blue-eyed," she said: "One amendment today said we could not sell guns to anybody under drug treatment. So does that mean that if you go into a black community you can't sell any guns to any black person?"

Thanks for bringing that up Recockulous, I had wanted to check that out.

Yeah, zipf, race accounts for differences in human character, as in, stealing hubcaps, while good whitey holds a function for the poor little negroes.

I think that constitutes a racist sentiment.

Stealing hubcaps? I hope that was at least followed up with, "I've got nuthin'".

Gis for 500,000

How far right do you have to be to consider Bill O'Reily a leftist?

Please do not waste your time reading this post. You have been warned as I have nothing to say.

Congrats! Good job Farkers & Farkettes - AND Admins and Mods. Keep it up!

500,000th link unless you subtract repeats...

WOW Larry King bought 6 pair of mesh thongs from Victoria's Secret. (bottom of Washington Post page) This newspaper is full of all kinds of important news.

Anyway, on the Factor last night O'Reilly said all kinds of good things about the Best Men. I'm sure we'll see tonight if he actually said that when the viewer mail segment of his show comes up.

First time the boobies ever got me.

keep pretending racism doesnt exist, yall

BTW: That article cracked my ass up. Should insensitive, stereotypical comments inspire shock anymore? People are stupid and say stupid, careless things that, given a second to think prior to speaking, probably would not have bee said. Let's rise above these comments (not forgive) and rejoice half a million. Wow.

C,mon people...if the best men at your wedding didn't try to steal your hubcaps or otherwise deface your car, your best men are nerds.

Oh yeah, that is so funny because:

1. It's funny because it picks on children.
2. It's funny because it targets the disadvantaged.
3. It is funny because it just points out the differences between those with white skin and colored people.
4. It is funny 'cause it's true.
5. It is funny because - what else would Bill say when surrounded by minorities?

/sarcasm

Ah, Drew, Mike and Mme.Mersault. Next Jeff'll make an appearance. This is definitely not a good thread to make an arsehole of myself on, so I'm off.

Can the 500,001st link be a story about Bill O'Reilly getting caught stealing hubcaps?

Or a photoshop contest on that theme?

Or maybe just a great SFW boobies link?

And how many hours of work time has been spent on Fark's 500,000th link?

Did I cover all the bases? Should? I? have? used? more? question? marks???

Bill O'Reilly
27 matches, 144 wickets at 22.59

Congrats on the 1/2 mil!

Bill O'Reilly is as big a jackass as Michael Moore, and this is a pretty stupid thing to get all bent out of shape because of.

GooberMcFly. I didn't. I assume a mod added it. I submitted the "B.O. pulls a T.R." part and that URL.

Best men steal hubcaps and put white shoe polish on your car windows and tie cans to the tailpipe and put fish in your radiator on your wedding day. It was a quip about best men and wedding days -- not about inner-city (black) kids. Even O'Reilly has more sense than that. I'm sure that after he said it, he realized that it could be misconstrued. (Kind of like the time I made an "I'm with stupid T-shirt" joke about a friend of mine whose kid was having serious trouble in school. Open mouth, insert foot. Didn't mean it that way at all. The sad/frustrating thing is that I WISH O'Reilly HAD meant the quip as an inner-city jab. The world would be a better place if O'Reilly were off the air. He needs to do something unambiguously inappropriate that will get him canned from all media. Sadly, this was ambiguous. Try again, Bill!

if I had a nickel for every.. I'd have $25,000.

BO'R is nothing but a more obnoxious version of Morton Downey Jr.

Even Drew needs to close his eyes occasionally.

Rumbleminz: For decades the South was controlled by Democrats. I'd dare to say a few are racist. They aren't all progressive. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that most Democrats who are racist are black.

2) Everyone (as in the press)wants to stab at O-Reily because he makes so many lefters look stupid on TV

I think liberals dislike him because he provides a very narrow point of view, grossly simplifying complex issues. When he's called to task on his viewpoints, he uses practiced fallacious rhetoric. The fact that his audience is oblivious to his gross distortions and manipulations is all the more frustrating.

"when assholes Like Mike Moore (moore as in more cheesburgers for my fat ass)"

Wow. Good one.

Oh, good. Now we get to watch the thread degenerate into a flamewar.

Strom Thurmond was a Democrat back in those days. On many issues like states rights, civil rights, taxes, and more the two parties completely switch stances over time. Comparing the parties from that long ago is completely pointless.

Can someone post a link to the story in here? I can't open anything from the main site. Thanks!

I love the way Daryll Hammond does O'Reily on SNL.

O'Reily:"Bellafonte, gimme somethng crazy!"

Harry Bellafonte: "Osama Bin Laden is an Uncle Tom."

O'Reily:"Sweet God, i don't even know who thats offensive to, but i love it! Ya watcha hahdba!"

Stupid joke, a non-story.
Im not from NY but does inner city kids means Black, Puertorican (sp?), Italian, Asian, Irish, or just poor run of the mill white kids. Just wondering which group he supposedly pissed off.

Logweasel--

I don't know, I've seen him debate some things pretty in-depth and still beat the living hell out of liberal. 95% of the time O'Reilly is right and it's the liberal who hasn't done the research or in-depth analyses before making an idiot out of themselves.

IHateEverything:

Hate to nitpick, but he's not doing O'Reily, he's doing Chris Matthews, that Hardball guy.

Ass.

wooo! Half amill. O'Reilly sucks a dead Levittownian's dick.

Actually - I don't like that definition much. The problem with Bill's comment, particularly in that venue, is that it implies racial superiority.

I must have missed where he mentioned race at all. Can you point it out, please?

500k links, and none of em mine.. im wonderin who i have to slob on to get something posted here..

sheesh.

Rumbleminz: For decades the South was controlled by Democrats. I'd dare to say a few are racist. They aren't all progressive. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that most Democrats who are racist are black

Strom Thurmond was a Dem when he ran under his segregationist ticket . Lott was a Democrat too. Man I'd swear they just switched sides to make "thier" party look better.

Rumbleminz: For the last time, the terms "Republican" and "Democrat" had different connotations way back when.


So if FDR were alive today he'd be a Republican?

I have one thing to add to this thread:



That is all.

Maybe everyone who has ever been a best man at a wedding is pissed, except me, I didnt steal any hubcaps.

The only place I have ever had my hubcaps stolen was in the parking lot of Second Baptist Church in Houston. This is probably the whitest church in America.

Well, that was inevitable.

Daryll Hammond is doing Chris Matthews.

Well, that was supposed to be a picture of a tin of Spotted Dick, but a blank space has a nice sense of irony...

the little morons probably already had his hubcaps, and were looking through his wife's purse at the time...

Bleh, it wants to use cross-domain cookies.. no work for me

4. It is funny 'cause it's true.

/sarcasm

Let's assume for the moment that minorities were the target of this joke, which is disputable. Most humor is at someone's expense. So tell me now why stereotypical humor is acceptable when it is being performed by someone a member of the stereotyped group. Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy could pull this line off and get peals of laughter. Bill O'Reilly says it and gets looks of horror. That double standard speaks volumes about the sincerity of those who profess a desire for racial equality.

See Nixon: "Southern Strategy"

Up until a few generations ago the Democrats were a party which represented two distinct groups, the Northern and Western liberal Constitutionalists, and the Southern "dixiecrat" (as they later called themselves) Federalists.

During the Truman electoral process he refused to remove the civil rights plank from his agenda, causing the schism between the two groups.

A large chunk of Southern Democrats formed the "States Rights" party, and decades after Strom's failure in the presidential bid they were wooed by Nixon, as part of his "Southern Strategy."

To this day, members of the States Rights party, including individuals like Trent Lott, have their own agenda within the Republican party.

Along with the "Radical Right" of Reagan years, they comrpise a major camp within the Republican party, along with the current Neo-conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, etc.

Let's not pretend that either party is clean, but as of right now the Republican party is the place where not only Religious Fundamentalists, but also the institutional racists reside.

Whamdangler: I suppose this would be a good time to bring up the fact that you have four links posted, not three. <=

ATTENTION IDIOTS: ASKING WHITE PEOPLE TO STOP BEING RACIST ALL DAMN DAY IS NOT A DOUBLE STANDARD

Having never actually watched his damned show, I really can't comment on it. But from reading the Dan Savage's response to being on the show, I'd believe any statement that claims O'Reilly is an ass-hat

that bad Chris Rock

Man, that needs some narrowing down.

Congrats on the 500k mark, Drew. :) As for O'Reilly, so he a scumbag. In other news, water is wet. But the real travesty here is the taking of that picture of him and the two nasty biatches sitting next to him. Shouldn't there be some sort of statute prohibiting that much ugly being packed into such a small area? And speaking of his fugly companions, if I didn't already have such a low opinion of O'Reilly, I certainly would after seeing the company that he keeps, i.e. the wives of the current and a former drug czar. Why doesn't he just invite Tipper Gore and Adolf Hitler to his table and see if he can amass enough evil in one location to destroy the world once and for all?

I guess the real story here is the 500,000th link, and none of mine have ever been posted.

Congratulation Drew and everyone.

I wonder if you could maybe do a rough estimate of how many work hours have been wasted.

That should have been:-

Anybody remember that bad Chris Rock movie

Man, that needs some narrowing down.

A quick question on his show. Does he like to burn strawmen?

How many were boobies links?

As a long time farker, 500,000 links boggles the mind compared to when it was about 30 links a week.

In addition to Drew's head, I'm surprised any of the fark servers (forums.fark.com especially) haven't exploded yet.

Half a million. That's something.

As for the comment, meh. I thought it was kind of amusing. I remember being a kid that age and having kids that age as my friends. Many of them stole stuff. Even the "good kids" were punks. And this was true of all races, as I lived in a pretty integrated small town.

As Chris Rock says, "You can boo me, but you know I'm right."

1. It's clearly a joke with race connotations. Think of his generation for pete's sake. I'm only in my late twenties and I can think of at least half a dozen jokes about black children and stealing. If you'v never heard one, good for you, it must be fantastic to reside in a world where random strangers don't pollute your air with their racist comments.

2. The reason he appears so suave and dominating over the "liberals" on his show is because it's his freaking show. I'm not saying there aren't many idiotic liberals, but what makes you think the producers of the show are going to select them, after all it isn't a news show whose main premise is "O'reily bashes the liberal, conservatives around the nation laugh."

3. Should be be strung up for making an off-color off-the-cuff remark? No, but people shouldn't pretend it didn't happen, or that it wasn't a racist remark.

Does anyone else wonder where Dro In The Wind is?

So I guess going out protesting the war (or whaling, or globalization, or...) and destroying property is OK, but suddenly there are limits to free speech if your cause is not Liberal. Hmph...

O'Reilly should have known not to say anything that can be construed as racial. Only black comedians can do that! Sheesh!

Now let's all start submitting every link in sight so that we can get to 1 million as quickly as possible.

Where are the stats on how many time France surrendered?

Wow, half a million links...that's really something.

You put that Jonas Salk to shame with his "vaccine"....what about that dude who invented the airbag? his mom was probably so proud...until she heard about fark's 500,000th link...now she's ashamed of him for not doing something important with his life.

Oh people....Loosen up! Thats funny as hell!

LesserEvil, Bill said what he said because he thought it would be funny to make a joke about the stereotype of black kids stealing hub caps. No race was mentioned, but do you honestly think he would make the joke if the Best Men were suburban white kids? 'No race was mentioned' - that's the lamest possible excuse.

Man, I wish all racist bigots like O'Reilly would donate $60,000 ANNUALLY to programs benefiting the people they are racist against. Wow, that would pretty much take care of the problem. Plus, idiots like Robert Fisk would be bankrupt after giving all their money to the ADL (remember kids, according to Robert Fisk, Jews run the media and the government).

Please, this is the most retarted non-issue post I have seen (and that includes all ones from tabloids).

A) O'Reilly was referencing the tradition of Best Men defacing the car during a wedding.

B) He donated $60,000 to a cause that completely contradicts his supposedly racist views

If you want to hate O'Reilly, do it because he is a pompous windbag who always insists he is right (to be fair, sometimes he is). Don't try use illegitimate character assisination to prove your viewpoint.

token comment.

Actually FDR would be a Socialist Tyrant, but a benevolant one, kinda like Tito.

The New Deal and SSA are straight out of Socialist doctrine, and sitting in the oval office for 3 elected terms (and going for his 4th at the time of his death) isn't just whistling Dixie.

Mike:- Just pullin' ya leg. (he says, momentarily nervous that his account suddenly won't work)

WTF??...ok everyone just click on this damned link...LOL

This Modern World

Again - Jesus Christ was a liberal. They nailed him to a tree for it.

Beowulf, that's over a year and a half, but the fact is this. People do things they don't believe in all the time, for tax breaks, to maintain an upstanding faade, because their publicist tells them to, etc. Don't pretend like this didn't have racial under/over tones. If you do, you're about as stupid as half the people in here.

Rumbleminz said:
"For the last time, the terms "Republican" and "Democrat" had different connotations way back when."

That is absolute horse shiat.

"A) O'Reilly was referencing the tradition of Best Men defacing the car during a wedding."

What color is the sky in your world?

Maybe the next time a racist says "Lets string that N... up!" you can claim they're just making a homage to Blazing Saddles.

Half Million? Well la-dee-frickin'-da!

ph4rK 0\/\/Z j00!

God God Almighty. Can't anybody crack a decent attractive and successful African-American joke in public anymore?

NathanAllen: Your last post is the first one I disagree with. I think FDR did what he could to keep the US democratic, given the fact that countries all over the world were going communist or socialist. Sure, the programs are founded in socialism, but they were necessary. A pure capitalistic state just won't work, same as pure communism or anything else. I think he found the best combination given the depression and state of world politics. Also, there was nothing but tradition keeping him from staying in office as long as elected. The terms were limited after that, but there was good justification for keeping the same president in power for as long as the war went on.

Whodat?: I have the "Well La Dee F\/CKIN Da!" bumpersticker. Great responses from gas station guys, everytime.

I fail to see how the rich elitest snobs at that dinner can tell Bill that he is wrong. The only reason they even support the charity is to make themselves look good, they dont really give a damn about those kids.... farking rich a$s wankers is all they are. THEY are the problem with this world, not some guy making an "insensitive" joke... hell.... 90% of the photoshops here are worse than that joke. Fark those rich snobs.

Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy could pull this line off and get peals of laughter. Bill O'Reilly says it and gets looks of horror. That double standard speaks volumes about the sincerity of those who profess a desire for racial equality.
Self-deprecating humor is generally okay. Humor that targets others (children, minorities, etc) and plays on peoples' feelings of racial superiority may be branded as racist. Racism is so embedded in present-day thought, that "racial equality" is impossible - imagine meeting a black man and NOT noticing that he is black? What is possible is understanding and tolerance of our differences.

MARK MY WORD, 1,000,000 FARK ACCOUNT ON MAY 5TH. WE NEED A BETTING LINK FOR THE 1,000,000 FARK ACCOUNT.

That was a funny line. I would have laughed my ass off.

happy 500000th farkers!

Sorry if this has already been said, but wouldn't that shot of Bill with those two hags make an excellent photoshop contest?

o'reilly is mo

more like 100,000.....Fark account.

We're not close to 1 million.

Boo farking hoo. If it had been a black man everyone would have howled.

It's a sad day in America when an obnoxious, bellicose, arrogant, rich, white guy can't crack racist jokes about black kids to an audience full of obnoxious, bellicose, arrogant, rich, white people.

Congrats, Drew, admins, mods.. THANKS.

"Self-deprecating humor is generally okay. Humor that targets others (children, minorities, etc) and plays on peoples' feelings of racial superiority may be branded as racist."

Case in point: I'm an urban, northern white guy. Were I to be at a fundraiser in Virginia for poor little white children and made a reference to the children not showing up because they were busy brewing up moonshine, everyone would have a fit.

And rightly so. I'd be a prejudiced asshole. Just as O'Reilly is.

What a non-story.. who filed this one, ex-KKK member Senator Boyd (D)?

Your linked article was a very interesting read. However, whether Richard Nixon did or did not believe that African-Americans had a raw deal, it doesn't mean that having a man prone to public racist quips as Senate Majority Leader is necessarily a good idea. But, otherwise, it was an interesting read.

AcornMan
HAHA!

So, I late. I'm sure we all agreed on this. Was O'Riley a racist?

My god like he was serious...making something out of nothing...At least he actually does good instead of just talking about it.
I mean really is there anybody you people like? Is there anything that you agree with? or is everyone else just stupid.
For the most part reading these forums is like going back to when i was 10 and arguing about which gi joe was better.

500,000...spffy

Don't say I never did anything for you, Macabre.

PS-I think we could solve a lot of the world's problems with some celebrity deathmatches. I'll suggest a few:

George W. Bush vs. Saddam Hussein
Rush Limbaugh vs. Michael Moore
Ari Fleisher vs. The Iraqi Minister of Information
Bill O'Reilly vs. Art Bell

Hopefully someone at Fox is reading this.

Newport56, well, I think Lott's endorsement of Strom Thurmond's platform is implicitly an endorsement of racism, but Nixon's "southern strategy" may not have been.

'No, we have it all covered.' " They spent $56 on "six mesh thongs.

Isn't this a self-contadictory statement?

JOHNDX I stand corrected, 100,000 fark account, my apologies, and many thanks for the links you have previously provided.

500,000, im impressed. Bill spoke at my brother's college graduation, he talked about getting drunk and falling in the Hudson River, it was kinda funny, but he is still an idiot.

Okay, you can say I never did anything for you.

But I swear it worked in the scratchpad.

C'mon. Some of Mr. O'Reilly's best friends are black--he loves
those people.

The argument that stereotypical humor is acceptable when it is being performed by someone a member of the stereotyped group (but not otherwise) fails to take into account that the audience in those cases is also usually predominately members of the stereotyped group.

Also, conservatives should give a listen to Chris Rock's 2 HBO concert shows. Rock is tough on the deadbeat blacks.

(PS. I borrowed Nagasaki's phrasing of the argument, but this post is in no way intending to single him out. I just thought his phrasing was eally good. That is all.)

What more does the whiteman have to do to show the blackman that we are sorry for slavery?

How much longer must the whiteman practise reverse racism? Why must we continue to put down the whiteman just so the blackman can feel better about himself? How many more whitemen have to go without jobs because affrimitive action dictates that the jobs be given to the first blackman who applies?

Do we have to create a world where the blackman and only the blackman is in power? And must we reduce the whiteman to being their servants? Must the whiteman raise his children to feel horrible and ashamed about the color of their skin and the stigma that comes with it? Must the whiteman be reduced to an Uncle Tom, not only happy to be a servant to the blackman but actively praising him? Must the whiteman take all the punishment given to him by the blackman with only an "I deserve this."?

I do believe this is what the blackman desires. To turn the tables and make the whiteman his slave just as the whiteman made the blackman his slave. The blackman doesn't seek equality, he seeks revenge. Revenge for being taken from his friends and family in his native Africa. Revenge for being forced into a life of bondage. Revenge for being whipped repeatively while picking cotten under a blazing sun. Revenge for his new family being taken from him and sold like cattle. Revenge for being considered "worth only 3/5's of a whiteman.". Revenge for centuries of oppression and torment from the whiteman. The blackman will not rest until the vengeful spirit of Hannibal is satified that his desendents have made the people of Africa feared once more.

(I can't decide, is this satire, sarcasm, funny, or just plain tasteless? I don't really believe all this)

I though it was 500,000th link about the O'reilly incident.

O Reilly?

Smarter than you, funnier than you,is more informed tahn you, does more for the good of the world than you, is not a racist, is arrogant and sarcastic... generally, a better guy than most of you could possibly ever be. Did I mention smarter than you?

carry on bulbs

This mulatto thought it sounded like a pretty funny quip--the same mulatto can't stand a good part of O'Reilly's politics. Call me an Uncle Tom if you must, but honkeys making jokes about negroes is fair game as far as I'm concerned. Just like most things in life, common sense lets us know when something is over-the-top or otherwise deliberately hurtful.

That said, it would be nice if the pro-war, rah-rah superpatriot crowd could afford the other side the same courtesy when their politics become fodder for jokes or political satire.

Hypersensitivity and self-righteous indignation are annoying no matter the practicioner...

Oh, I agree. It's just that Buchanan makes the argument that Lott was betrayed by Bush, et al. Since Lott was affiliated with Nixon, and this same Nixon used this Southern Strategy, does this earn him a free pass to run his yap in the manner he did? Buchanan would seem to agree with that statement, whereas I cannot. Besides, it's not like Lott was stabbed in the back here. I mean, he was only demoted to a mere United States Senator

Emperor-Jay: All I could think about reading that was this guy...

500k? NFW! Way too many reposts to claim that. It's more like 400k I'd say.

And he said, "Ketchup!" Get it!? Ketchup!

I never did like Bill O'Reily, but the icing on the cake was the way he handled his interview with Jeremy Glick.

Ummm, that was supposed to be Principal Blackman from "Strangers With Candy" *shrug*

Bill represents everything that is vile and corrupt in America, If there are some conservatives with an open mind out there, who cannot understand why there is so much anti-american sentiment overseas, then look no further than Bill O'Reilly for the explanation.

Bill O'Reilly, preaches freedom and liberty trough blissfull ignorance.

Remember Morton Downey jr ?... Bill, you are next !

Just for the record, Bill O'Reilly is nothing at all like Lott. I watch/listen his show all the time and he is not what they are trying to insinuate in the story. Can you say "hit piece?" I Knew you could.

Does anybody remember seing him say that he thought that modern african americans were "better off" in america than they would be if they were still in Africa.

What's wrong with that? They are better off in America than Africa. Have you looked at what Africa is like?

As for O'Reilly's comment, it was actually pretty funny. And if someone with darker skin had said it, everyone else would have thought it was funny too. But if the tables were turned, and a black guy made a joke about a group of white boys, nobody would mind at all. Funny how so-called "racist and offensive comments" are accepted when made by minorities, but if a white person says anything like that it creates a firestorm of criticism and racist allegations.

By the way, for those biatching about all these "racist republicans", you may want to remember that for a very long time it was the Democratic party that was against freedoms for blacks, and the two Republican politicians most often linked to having racist views in the past (Lott and Thurmond) are former Democrats. The Dixiecrat platform that Thurmond ran his presidential campaign on was an offshoot of the Democratic party.

BTW

That "Blacks are worth 3/5's of a whiteman" quote came from a first edition of the Constitution. It wasn't always the list of liberties and freedoms it is now.

Honestly, comparing what O'Reilly said to saying, "String the n*@#$ up" is a completely specious and retarded argument to make (there I spelt [sic] it correctly, heh). Now, I checked the Best Men website and saw no reference to race, only social class. So, I would surmise that the organization is directed at the inner-city young men of the areas they are working in (the racial demographics of which would be different, depending on area). Okay, fine. Now, please point out to me the pattern of behavior O'Reilly has commited to back up your claims? That one comment can be construed in several ways and is thus too vague to indict him on its own. Maybe he is racist, I don't really know the man, but you'll have to provide a little more proof than his employment at Fox News to convince me of his guilt.

Jebus, why don't you just kiss his ass in private. It would save all of us an uncomfortable moment thinking of you and O'Reilly in your love nest.

Did you mock Al Gore for saying he invented the internet? What about Bill Clinton and the definitions of "is"? Micheal Moore for his speech at the Oscars?

Dish it out, can't take it???

Once again underscoring what everyone already knows:

Bill is a broadcaster first and thinker 18th. Which is fine. It puts him in the same camp as Katie Couric, John Tesh and Regis. I'm sure he didn't intentionally slam the kids. He just said something without thinking.

But my point is: he pretty much says everything without thinking. The only difference between him and Rodney Dangerfield (and I love me some Rodney) is that Bill pretends to have well thought out political opinions.

"you may want to remember that for a very long time it was the Democratic party that was against freedoms for blacks, and the two Republican politicians most often linked to having racist views in the past (Lott and Thurmond) are former Democrats"

Who switched sides in the 60s when they figured out what party better caters to racists. Or white racists, at least.

Can I sell this moment to an antiques dealer for a lot of money in the future?

O' Reilly is responsible for anti-american sentiment overseas? aha ha ha ha ahahhahahhahha, okay pal, if you insist. Maybe they really hate us because people like you open their mouths and baseless shiat comes flying out. Or is it because Monica Lewinsky is now hosting a reality show? I'd be tempted to hate a nation of idiots who make people celebrities for sucking dicks.

Newport56 Oh, I agree. It's just that Buchanan makes the argument that Lott was betrayed by Bush, et al. Since Lott was affiliated with Nixon, and this same Nixon used this Southern Strategy, does this earn him a free pass to run his yap in the manner he did?

I don't think that's not what he's saying. He might be implying it, though. The Lott thing is really only tangential to Buchanan's criticsm of Bill Kristol's statement:

"Lott is really virtually the last of the products of Richard Nixon's 'Southern Strategy' to be in major positions of power in the Congress,"

He's not denying that Lott's statement was an endorsement of racism, but that Lott's connection to Nixon's Southern Strategy does not make the Southern Strategy racist by association, nor does it make the Rebublican party or the right-partisans racist, nor does it make State's Rights a racist concept. I'm glad he specifically mentioned that Nixon did not support the John Birch Society members.

""Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps."


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!...cough cough....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!A!A!AA!!!!!!

Man, that Bill O'Reilly is one funny dude!

If Whoopi Goldberg had said the same thing, all you libs would be cracking up.

And congrats on .5 mil, FARK.

I guess you don't have to show respect when you are writing checks. Probably stems from our judicial and electorial system.

ZTigerX

What's wrong with that? They are better off in America than Africa. Have you looked at what Africa is like?

This has to be roughly the 5th dumbest post I've seen on FARK. What kind of farked up logic makes you think our slave-driving ancestors were doing blacks a favor by bringing them over as slave labor? It amazes me that after hundreds of years of exploitation and segregation, so many people believe that we as a society have zero obligations to the black community.

I don't think that's not what he's saying.

Sorry for the triple negative. Should be: "I don't think that's what he's saying."

You gotta love the part where O'Reilly says "no good deed goes unpunished."

Yes ZipBeep, I mocked them all, and I voted for Clinton AND Gore. Now I mock you, actually I mock you most of the time, for your short sighted views on the way this planet works, and for your "I'm against everything" sillyness. James Dean? half the rebel you are hahahaha.

Next

i've got nothing to say but wanted to be there where history was made.
see you on the 10^6th thread.

HOLY CRAP, OMG... HE SUGGESTED THAT INNER CITY KIDS MIGHT STEAL HUBCAPS! HOW OFFENSIVE!!! I MEAN, IT'S SO OVERTLY RACIST (even though he didn't mention anything about race).

I mean, we all know that hubcaps don't get stolen in the inner-city, that's just an urban myth that Rich Old White Guys tell, right?

Oh the humanity!
