Racist comments on FOX News Website: Where is O’Reilly’s crack team now?

[CatWoman]

Updated: The Factor has turned their attention away from attacking Daily Kos over and over again so that Bill O’Reilly could embark on a sick crusade against the Huffington Post over anonymous comments posted on Arianna’s blog. BillO had his team of producers harassing her at the Take Back America conference yesterday before she went on a panel. You know, coming after her, yelling, “why do you allow these to appear on the HuffPo?” Well, with billions of dollars at NewsCorp’s disposal, what’s Ruppert Murdoch’s excuse for these kind of posts to find their home on FOX, Bill? From this post:

Wow! Jan L. nailed it right on the head! Reparations? I’m waiting for my thank you! You blacks would be naked and eating bugs if it weren’t for white people. Name ONE successful society started by blacks. Any sign of civilization in Africa was started by Europeans. Any city in America with predominately black leaders is a cesspool. Look at New Orleans, Philadelphia, D.C., Detroit…

I am sooo tired of hearing how the black man has been mistreated since he was shipped over here to help build America! All I hear is them groveling over being victims.

They are the ones making themselves the victims with their attitude that whites owe them something for bringing their ancestors to the best country that has ever existed. All my life I have only witnessed the blacks with their hands out to the government expecting it to give them everything they want and shouting racist if they don’t get it! No wonder most whites have the opinion that blacks are worthless, lazy sloths who know only how to make more babies and steal everything not nailed down. Barak Lenin Obama, the big eared Muslim, is only fostering this “wo is me” attitude with his obvious prejudices. I, for one, like my white race over that of any other, so does that make me a racist? I don’t thing so. The black man will not break free from his self-imposed shackles until he picks himself up, dusts himself off and begins to provide for himself just like every other race has done who came to this country. Before the blacks can do this, however, they have to rid themselves of the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Farakan, and the good reverend Wright.

Pretty insane comments. H/t to Mike who alerted me to this and as he pointed out from FOX’s rules:

please note that all comments are moderated and therefore may not appear immediately after submission.

So these were deemed acceptable? Most liberal bloggers with open comments try their best to weed out horrible anonymous comments, but we miss some. If we had millions of dollars at our fingertips to hire a huge staff to make sure outrageous stuff never appeared then they probably wouldn’t. Now that FOX News is sanctioning them, I guess the media will consider it a non-issue. What say you, BillO?

5. Racist comments

I'm always at a loss where I hear comments like these... I mean, how does one's ignorance become proof positive that they're the superior race. History is told by those who control it at the time. There's the here and now - which the Europeans races have shown only that their history matters - all others are inconsequential. There's the last 500 years of conquering that the Europeans love so much; and then there's thousands of years of traveling, mathematics, science, etc from other races - all without murdering the host peoples... Africans where were working out solar movements when Europeans lived in caves with no language... The ignorance is breathtaking sometimes. What some Euro centric people take in this country for a born-to, inalienable right is suddenly a 'handout' for others... you amaze me... you really do....

6. why do I have this sudden urge to immediately strip

and check the cobwebs?

:rofl:

[misanthrope]

9. The ultimate ridiculousness of it is...

...that when you get to an objective enough distance, all of humanity, regardless of culture, is pretty backwards and savage. No one has the upper hand on anyone else.

We're merely the fightin'-est, fuckin'-est monkeys around.

13. O'Reilly called Arianna a liar

because Huffington Post had a couple of venomous posts about Nancy Reagan and Tony Snow. He had one of his little attack dogs go after her in public. She said the posts had been removed. And they had. Yet O'Reilly, wrongly, said they had not been removed, she knew they had not been removed, and she's a liar. As usual, O'Reilly was unjustly smearing soemone he hates because he/she generates more respect than he does. He has a series of vendettas. Arianna is just one of his latest. I mean, O'Reilly is the guy who kept up a months long crusade against George Clooney. Also, Ludacris, Charlize Theron, and The Dixie Chicks. He's like one of those pathetic Big Brother contestants. Love me! Love me! I'm on TV! Love me! But we don't.
