Why does Bill O'Reilly still have a job?
He topped Imus' comment. So, why hasn't he received the same treatment?

I dunno. Change the channel. I hate the guy, I think he is an arrogant a-hole.. at the same time, I believe in free speech. 0 -
Guessed I missed what he said.
How bad was it?0 -

Me too, and I watch him like a hawk.0 -
He said, on national radio, how he was amazed that black people didn't act like idiots when he was in a Harlem restaurant. I'm paraphrasing, but the entire quote is probaly available on the net.
Imus, who was a prick, insulted a group of women. Bad? Yes. Bill insulted millions of people simply because of their skin color. It would be akin to saying, "Wow, I was amazed all gun owners weren't racist, redneck, idiots who can't read." And then, trying to pass that off as a positive statement.
No, I do not watch Bill. I caught his comment on "Countdown".0 -

Fox does not support free speech. They give air time to black racists, black nationalists, and such, but when have they allowed the same forum to their white counterparts? Fox does have a hugh following though.0 -
His comment was innocuous and taken out of context to beat him over the head by the race baiting money grubbers.
Bil is not anti anybody.
Folks, black, white, yellow and red are too damn hung up on this "respect" and "offended" bull crap.
What ever you are is fine. The offense comes in when folks like me just don't give a tinkers-damn about your particular heritage or skin color.0 -

I think there is more to this story than meets the eye. I think it is like the Anti-Americans like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson trying to shore up the NAACP's failing cvil rights movement by trying to turn a molehill into a mountain, or twisting it completely like the hate crime against the white boy to their advantage, such as in the Jena 6 Laugher.0 -

That is your first problem ---- Countdown with keith olberman is after o'reilly in the worst way. It is obvious that you do not watch O'Reilly. His remarks were taken out of context. Go to his website and read the transcript. I believe nothing Keith Olberman says , and little that O'Reilly says.

I don't think Bill is anti-anyboy either, but I do believe that he is totally out of touch with the common American when it comes to double standards, especially where the South is concerned. Bill is simply naive beyond belief, like Sean Hannity.0 -

"I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," he told listeners. "It was the same, and that's really what this society's all about now here in the U.S.A. There's no difference."
And later, speaking with National Public Radio correspondent and Fox analyst Juan Williams, O'Reilly said there "wasn't any kind of craziness at all" during his dinner with Sharpton: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.' "
"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun," he continued.
That's a direct quote. I what "context" could you consider that a civil, polite or positive statement?0 -

thats your problem right there. what bill oreily said was NO WHERE NEAR racist and everyone who heard it says the same thing...except for the hate mongering vile left wingers.
however, it was nice to see those hateful left wingers call juan williams, a black man, a "happy negro" and not a single left wing media outlet complained.
the reason why people watch bill oreily is because he is honest and forthright. the reason why olbermans ratings are PATHETIC is becuase he is hateful and dishonest and a liar and thats why you were duped into thinking oreily made a racist comment.0 -
I'd like to state that I don't care if Bill is on the air or not. I'd like to know why there isn't a big uproar over his statement? Bill was basically tossing Jesse Jackson's salad for a good blessing the other night. 0 -
there isnt a big uproar because what he said wasnt racist. end of story 0 -

Bill O gets somewhat of a pass because his fans such as bpost and the above are really thick loyal.
Honestly it would be like if someone went to a place that sold Irish cuisine and telling everyone how surprised you were there were no Leprechauns and not everyone was drunk and dancing Irish Jigs.0 -
Jesse Jackson ate Bill's lunch during that weak performance by Bill O'Reilly. Sad, sad, sad. Most any kid or adult off the streets of America could have made Jesse look the Anti-American he is, and Bill failed miserably. 0 -
As billy boy has said on the factor; watch/ listen to the tape before passing judgement as spewed out by far left smear sites.
I personally think he is a M-F for his gun issues; and disagree with him on a few other thing too; but I like it when he points out flip-fops/ double-talk on the left. [;)]0 -
In reference to the Bill and Jesse segment that aired yesterday, Bill just reported some negative feedback he got that asked, "Bill, why are you an apologist of black racists?" This query hit the nail on the head, too. 0 -

Didn't bother me what he said. Big deal. I've heard much worse from politicians. O'Reilly is just a talking head, so what do you care. I think the Libs are joined in a concentrated effort to silence O'Reilly, Rush and Sean because they cause The Libs too much heart burn. The attack dogs are looking for any excuse. This is typical Soros/Clinton warfare. At least O'Reilly says what's really on his mind and doesn't hide behind a false sense of impartiality like say, Dan Rather et al. I find O'Reilly refreshing compared to many other news people or commentators.0 -

Among decent people, such an Irish scenario would be taken with great humor without a second thought. That's a big difference with these type Antis and their thin skin.0 -
I love Bill's show. 0 -
He seems to me to be a big government supporting, big talking, self-absorbed moron. I can't stand to watch him, but frequently do, so I can keep up on what crap he spouts, which is often contrary to constitutional principals.
Sad, but the average American probably thinks that his views are representative of the traditional "conservative" position. Seems more neo-con to me, but what do I know.0 -

Mostly those people that live in the NYC, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, LA, St. Louis, Memphis, and Atlanta type environments would the term "average" fit here to describe the traditional American.0 -

it had something to do with fried chicken?0 -
I can't believe no one has pounced on this little tid bit: He still has a job because Al and Jesse know they can't get him fired! They don't have that much power. Sure, it was easy to do Imus in. Hell, his show was on at 4am. But take on a guy with a primetime show, on any network? Get real. Bill could've dropped the "N" word and been forgiven. 0 -
He had Jackson on his TV show last nite. No big showdown because what was reported wasn't what he said! 0 -

Now tell me why Al or Jesse would want Bill fired, he and Fox News is the civil rights movements most gracious benefactor where airtime is concerned? He sees them not as the criminal racists they are to most all decent minded citizens in America and much of the world, but as "respectable" leaders of a movement that needs more power due to the slavery holocaust they are attempting to build. Bill is naive, and only in touch with big city traditional Americans on this issue.0 -

They should want to do it because it would help stomp out the rasicim they apparently see. For the record, the reason they don't go after Bill is the same reason they won't go after Fifty-Cent, Ludacis, or any one else with more fame and notoriety then themselves.0 -

You evidently don't listen to him either. That's FAR from his opinion of them. I don't agree w/O'Rielly all the time, but I respect him because he calls em as he see's em. And he's not the least bit a fan of Jackson or Sharpton. And if you listened to him, you'd know that.0 -
You picked up on my sarcasm. Bill is naive. He/Fox does not give equal airtime to the black racist counterparts either. 0
