Bill O'Reilly Reaction to the acquittal of George Zimmerman [spinning like a whirling dervish]
Fox News ^ | July 15, 2013 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 07/16/2013 7:40:53 AM PDT by Prolixus

"Talking Points" understands the anger towards George Zimmerman. He initiated the fracas. But you don't convict someone of murder because he shows poor judgment or because he racially profiles.

Why is O’Reilly profiling Zimmerman as a racial profiler?

Who is this “Bill O’Reilly” and why do people keep posting things about him? There are lots of dumb-ass blowhards spouting their opinions in our local bars, but seriously does anyone care what they have to say?

"...he racially profiles..."

Poor choice of words O'reilly, just to keep the pot boiling...Fox News is so "racially profiling' happy that Shep took the bait about this (brilliant news-hen) and I think even the usual unflappable and straight forward Harris Falkner did the same....

Don’t overlook this little gem in the hoopla: “it is easy to get guns in Florida”.

First off, it may be less restrictive than in some crap hole like NYC but the point is the weapon he had was legal, it was bought legally and he had a legal right to carry it on his person under florida laws and in about 32 other states. GFYBO.

O’Reilly is a potential candidate for a GZ defamation lawsuit...

I am sick to death of these fraking liberal yelling racial profiling.
There NEVER was profiling, except by Martin.
Zimmerman: there is a guy in his early 20’s sulking around the houses
911 operator: is he white, black Hispanic
Zimmerman: I think he’s black
NBC CNN ABC white man shoots black child

GZ may have initiated the *contact*

Did Zimmerman even initiate the contact? Wasn't he on his way back to his truck when Martin came upon him?

I keep hearing from blacks that Zimmerman initiated the conflict when he got out of the car. Using that logic, simply getting out of your car whenever any black person is around is grounds for them to beat you to a pulp.

Sometimes, when I watch O’Reilly, I am convinced he doesn’t do his homework. He makes statements that are factually incorrect and interrupts his guests who may have it right. His statement that “Zimmerman initiated the fracas” is factually incorrect if you followed the trial and remember the 4 minutes of silence before Martin threw the first punch. Now, if O’Reilly believes that Zimmerman leaving his truck is “initiation of the fracas”, what does he call the act of Martin throwing the first punch? O’Reilly is a smart guy, but his lack of knowledge of the facts often makes me feel he is lazy in his “show prep”.

Not to worry.

The "No Spin Zone" will soon be the "Megyn Kelly Zone", as soon as she gets back from her maternity leave.

Maybe Ted Baxter will take his show to another network that's more suited to him.

Shep has to have some video of someone higher up in the Fox org. He and jerry rivers are prime candidates for msnbc or cnn. Billy boy might be better off at tmz. He’s a fool which is an understatement. Sorry I wasn’t more pithy with my wish to opine.

Ted Baxter doesn't know that, unless he considers George to have "initiated the fracas" by his mere existence.

I sat and watched Ted Baxter ask if there is one person in the country who believes Zimmerman is innocent the other night. He proclaimed the guy guilty. That was the final straw for me. We just cannot watch the POS anymore. He is an ignorant boob.

"Talking Points" believes that's dishonest. "

Don't you hate people who refer to themselves in the 3rd term? You know who does that? People with mega-egos. "Bill does not like that. Bill says that the Trayvon Martin case...blah blah.."

Pinhead
Definition: Someone who thinks it's not ok to profile unless you're profiling someone else as a profiler.
