Ah, yes the great ability of YouTube to allow Freepers to rant and rave.

Ladies and Gentlemen we have just had our "Leave Bill O'Reilly Alooonnneeee!" moment.

Today I want to talk about Keith Olberman, I hardly watch the guy but when I do I get sick to my stomach. That guy is a just a lying peice of shit. And what's wrong with him? Why is he mentally ill? Why is he so obsessed with Bill O'Reilly. MSNBC should fire this asshole, or they should put him into therapy


Y'see Bill O'Reilly is the victim here. His comments have been distorted by the Olbermann and the press. Billy is just trying to help black America by showing that their are alternatives to Gangsta Rap like Snoop Dogg.

Yeah, ok - that's like a newsflash isn't it?

As I've written in detail here, O'Reilly's core arguement is that the real problem with Black America is their missing fathers, it's not racism, it's not discrimination, it's not the ongoing legacy of racial profiling that keeps able bodied black men from finding keeping jobs and from being railroaded into our jails the way that the Jena 6 have been, the No Child Left Behind Act which has shoved thousands of minority kids out of school, or abstinence only programs which don't work. - y'know as Jesse Jackson pointed out on The Factor last night.

Jackson: 70 percent of all drug users in Illinois are white and 13 percent are black. But prison is 66 percent black and less than 10 percent white.

O'REILLY: 'Cause it's easier to catch them. They don't have lawyers. They -- you know. You know that poverty drives this and if you don't have enough money to pay a lawyer, you're going to get convicted. You know all of that.

JACKSON: Well, I guess, but most Americans don't know. They've assumed those in jailed are the most guilty, and those who are out are the most innocent.

...

O'REILLY: Reverend, let's get down to this, all right? Let's stop all this stuff. Here's what's driving the expulsion, the crime, and the poverty in the black community. You want to know what's driving it? No fathers in the home. Seventy percent of black babies are born out of wedlock in this country -- 70 percent, as opposed to 25 percent for whites. That's what's behind it, Reverend. That's what's behind all of these problems. And that's what has to be addressed.


See, Jesse the big problem with Black people is chronically failing families and their addicted to playing the "Victim Card" according to O'Reilly and his buddy Juan Williams. This he says while crying and whining that the news media has - wait for it - made him a Victim!!

O'REILLY: Many white Americans fear blacks. That's the truth. And that's why things don't get done faster than they should get done -- because many whites won't say what they feel to blacks, won't ask blacks questions, won't try to understand blacks because they're afraid to be demonized --

JACKSON: But, Bill --

O'REILLY: -- if they say something wrong.

JACKSON: But, Bill, blacks have more reason to fear whites than the other way around.

O'REILLY: Maybe so, but we are all Americans.

JACKSON: Yeah, because --

O'REILLY: We are all Americans.

JACKSON: -- whites have never been enslaved by blacks. Whites have never been locked out in Jim Crow laws. So, this is an unfounded fear of blacks.

O'REILLY: I agree. It's unfounded. And then I tried --

JACKSON: But -- but --

O'REILLY: I tried to allay that fear, and I got smashed unfairly for doing it. I'm on your side. I want the white Americans to understand that the mainstream black American is no different than they are.


Aww, poor Billy got slammed for stepping on his own tongue?

Geez, now you know how we Black Folk feel Bill - how's it taste? What's the matter, kind of bitter?

Suck it up, punk ass. That's what you say black people should do, right?

But here's America's real dirty little secret. The innocent (and the poor) got to prison, while the guilty (and the rich) go free. We use our prisons as a form of human traffiking where the prohibitions against slave labor do not apply. Slavery didn't end, it just gained a judicial stamp of approval. The War on Drugs ir really a War on the Poor and it's been a growing industry for well over two decades. Millions have become rich on the backs of "security concerns" and the housing of all these human product, but should they all be there?

Just look at the 208 people who've been exonerated via the Innocence Project. Over 200 juries thought they were all guilty too, but they weren't. If we had DNA evidence for all 2 Million people in our prisons - tens of thousands of them would go free. Call me crazy, but I think this tends to kind of Fuck up the Family. I'm just saying.

But No - no, it's not any of that stuff. It's all gotta be Black peoples own fault, and no one else has any responsibility it. None. See, now Rich White Conservative people whose families have all benefited from the legacy of sweat and pain of black people's work for over 400 years are now absolved of all guilt and the need to lift a finger to help out. Poof. Problem solved.

Yeah, sure - that makes sense.

Doesn't it just make you want to laugh until you cry?

2. I'll take door number three
they're trying to convince themselves. Sometimes it's works, sometimes it doesn't hence all the frustration, vitriol and anger.

9. No, not gay, English is not his first language
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 09:49 PM by djohnson
Probably explains why the guy spends so much time on the facial expressions of KO. He really spends a lot of time on KO's facial expressions, as if that means anything, and calls him a "Nerd" at one point, as if that is some kind of insult.

I'm really not sure where that guy is coming from in hs arguments. Maybe the accusation of being 'racist' has much more meaning to him. If he could comprehend what KO was articulating, he would understand that KO is attacking the perpetuation of racism.

I really think that it's hypocritical for someone who apparently has issues with racism to insult someone based on how they look. Rethug supporters live underneath rocks apparently.

7. One of the lamest rebuttals I've ever seen
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 09:26 PM by Downtown Hound
I got to admit though, it was kind of nice to put a voice to a freeper's words for once. And it sounded so weak, so pathetic, so hopelessly childish, that it inspired the Dalai Lama in me and I actually felt compassion for this loser.

10. A Joke Maybe?
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 10:03 PM by Mark D.
The person talking sounds like a comedian. I mean...'whoopie cushion'? Is that the best he
can do? In my opinion, this may very well be a left leaning jokester; trying to humiliate just
how feeble any argument 'agaist Olberman' is. If it isn't, well, I hope he is reading this. You
sir, are a joke, I can't stop laughing at how stupid your commentary is. Thanks for a laugh.

11. Oh, poor Bill O'Reilly. He is so innocent and would never mislead
Please, Keith Oberman, don't pick on Bill O'Reilly.
:sarcasm:
How amazing that he has the logic to pick apart the straw dog technique of Oberman,and yet doesn't seem to get the fact that O'Reilly is a paid propagandist.

Amazing and sad.

Please put your Bill O pic back above the toilet and leave the pc out of the bathroom as you should be using both hands in what you're doing. They couldn't pay me enough to work at a sewage plant knowing what's swimming through there. little freeper swimmers, ugh!

16. Republicans can't stand for bush to be criticized
why because they are just like him. And they can't stand the truth. Who cares what they think. Most of the country agrees with Keith Olbermann. It is only the crazies that don't.

23. the first thought that hit me was that he was Mexican...
but I'll be honest that I have that typical ignorant thing of automatically thinking "Mexican" when I hear what sounds like an Hispanic accent.

You're probably correct, though, that he's Cuban, with the whole anti-Castro/pro-fascist strain that's in that community.

He's a pathetic idiot, whatever he is. He just sounds so tired and depressed--his screen name is "the Friendly Geek" (ironic that he'd then call Olbermann a "nerd" as a totally nonsensical insult), and he really sounds like someone who spends his days on the couch watching Fox News, where he's told all his problems are the fault of everyone else. He thinks Bill-O's right because if he agrees with Bill-O, it means Bill-O would accept him, and he so wants to be accepted by a big tough guy, since he's a pathetic little twerp.

22. It's becuase of O'Biley's track record
you precocious wannabe. Even if in this particular instance Bill-O's comments were twisted and taken out of context, he deserves whatever ridicule he receives, fair and justified or not. He is such a stupid windbag it's fun to take some sucker punches and watch him squirm. If he gets fired for anything he says or does, whether actually guilty or not, the ends justify the means. He is a poisonous sore on the ass of the diseased elephant which is the Repulican party.
