Once the racism can is opened, everything gets nasty.
None nastier than Bill O'Reilly from Fox. "O'Racist" Bob Cesca has called him in the Huffington Post.
Cesca has written on O'Reilly's reaction to that self-same Michelle Obama quote - how, for the first time, she feels reason to be proud of her country. He thinks O'Reilly should apologise and resign.
Fat chance.
But Cesca is on the ball in pinning O'Reilly on the White Supremacist line.
O'Reilly said:
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.
Cesca comments:
Lynching? Party? Unless there's evidence? So we're to understand from Bill O'Reilly that if someone might be relating a certain level of dissatisfaction with America's present status and chief executive, that they deserve to be tracked down by Bill O'Reilly's Lynch Mob?
It doesn't even matter what Michelle Obama said. We do know that FOX News repeatedly misquoted Mrs. Obama's statement and regardless of what she said, nothing -- no words, intentions or deeds justify the unhinged spike in Bill O'Reilly's bigoted, splotchy blood pressure to the point of wanting to "track it down" with his "lynching party." She could've said something like, "Bill O'Reilly is a splotchy dillweed who enjoys savory, soapy shower falafels," and it still wouldn't justify this flagrantly racist "lynching" analogy.
Indeed, this is where racism sinks to its worst depths. And where we cringe and, hand-in-hand with Michelle Obama, feel ashamed that the USA gives such broad approval to this terrible man and his vociferous ilk.

Hi its Huey again,
So Bill O'Rielly has been waxing lyrical again! Here's the problem folk's with a Bill O'Rielly lynch mob. To use the terms Bill O'Rielly and mob in the one sentence is to assume that there are enough people left in this world who admit knowing him!
For Bill O'Reilly to talk about tracking down those who disagree is a joke. The only time Bill O'Rielly opens his mouth is when the Republican party is drinking a glass of water. Mr O'Reilly is so considered a joke by 99% of those whom his voice reaches that even the Star & Enquirer doesn't quote him. He is an insult to the fourth estate and considering some of the despots who still carry a press pass that is saying something. With all the problems we currently have on our plate between
Afghanistan, Iraq bombing of American embassies in Kosovo you think he would have more to "track" down the wayward utterings of a potential first lady. cheers from the apple
