Did O’Reilly really just say “lynching party” referring to Michelle Obama?
Posted on February 20th, 2008 by jgilliam

Listen now:

O'Reilly: "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 Bill O'Reilly really said that, he should be fired. That is racism at its worst.

    Oh well....O'Racist is at it again!
    He is just another slimy staffer at the sewer news Fox.
    Nothing like a half-assed "apology" too!
    He is a pathetic, hate-monger whose "no-brain zone" bullshit is racist, bigoted, and plain fucking STUPID. O'ASSHOLE shoule be fired for the shit he spews.

    Uh, saying that dangerous text against her is technically racist, but also a threat. That makes it a hate crime because essentially all threats can be dealt with by law, but to add a salt of racism is worse because it's considered hate. So tell me. Why isn't he in jail yet?
  • Idiolects
    Note that O'Reilly said, "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence..." So he DOES want to lynch her if...whatever. This is truly dangerous talk.

    It is time for the FCC to step in and stop this racist from spreading his venom over our airwaves. He is offensive and totally unacceptable. I really do not think that FOX will do anything about him. The FCC goes wild over a momentary "wardrobe malfunction", but they sit by and let this nut spread his vicious hate.

    Funny really. I think he's genuinely trying to be fair here, and even when he's trying to be fair he says this. He just can't help himself. He's so clumsy, he's incapable of saying something nice even when he's trying to. Remember his "compliment" to the black restaurant customers in Harlem?
  • Donna Stobie
    Enough...of OReilly....His 15 minutes are up!!!! Fire this bigoted loon. Let's do something...NOW!!!!
    Another new low for this corporate fake WHO sponsers
    this bigot!!!!???????

    SHAME ON YOU....FOX NEWS....

  • Good catch,

    The only issues is that he makes comments like these and worse with no one holding him accountable or calling him out. It must be nice for FOXSPEWS to be able to lock the doors and play pretend news casters all day.
