Bill O’Reilly apologized on Tuesday after he sparked backlash for calling Maxine Waters’ hair a “James Brown wig.”

“As I have said many times, I respect Congresswoman Maxine Waters for being sincere in her beliefs,” O’Reilly said. “I said that again today on Fox & Friends calling her ‘old school.’ Unfortunately, I also made a jest about her hair which was dumb. I apologize.”

She looks bizarre and what she says is bizarre. Yet in the politically correct culture that now exists , it is considered racism to criticize or mock any black in any way.

Only if the black person espouses libtardism. If his or her politics are conservative then he or she is an Uncle Tom, an Aunt Jemimah, a race traitor, a house 'negro', etc etc...

I think her hair resembles a brain-sucking alien that has died of starvation.


It clearly looks like it is searching for a new host.

Actually laughed out loud at his apology. It was just as pointed as the original.

Bill oreilly...blowhard extraordinare. Big fat puss#/*.
The only problem I have with Bill O’Reilly’s comment on her hair is the insult it pays to the fabulous James Brown.

I’m sure he had his apology already thought out before he said it.

And she calls herself a patriot because she hates President Trump and also supports the spying of all American citizens, for the purpose of filling Obama’s database with a treasure trove of information.

She is a patriot in the same mode as Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, or maybe closer to Dr Zaius of Ape City.

He should know better than to say anything at all that can be called racist. She may be a drooling idiot, but she enjoys protection afforded to her by an accident of birth - her protective pigmentation.

Yeah....he’s turned into a real flake fruitcake. Says he wants to become an American because he wants to fight Trump now. Screw him. Make it so.

He was half-assed in “Dune” where he got his real start, and has been nothing but an effete accent since then.

I am so sick of the double standards of liberals getting away with things like this and not apologizing, but conservatives saying things like this and then apologizing. Some conservatives justify it by saying that we’re better than liberals and have higher standards. I’m sick of that too. If we have higher standards, then don’t make jokes like this. Or make the joke and don’t apologize. But making jokes and then apologizing just plays into liberal hands that conservatives are mean, racist, sexists who say crude things and liberals don’t. It weakens our position to advance an agenda.

Hey Bill, before you start apologizing to all these hypocritical tender loins, let’s rewind the tape and see what was said and done to Sarah Palin for so many years.

Oh, that’s right, Sarah isn’t on the list of untouchables by your GOPe masters.

How about Michelle Bachmann? Did BOR ‘respect her for her sincere beliefs’? Or was he silent why she was mocked and badly treated by Johnny McSwamp and the boys?

I despise Waters’ politics and don’t think she’s very smart, but I don’t see anything wrong with the wig. It looks much better than the rest of her.

What he meant to say was Maxine’s face look like James Brown’s face if they resumed his body.

After a certain age, a person’s attitudes and beliefs are reflected in the external appearance they present to the world. Thoughts shape reality, and the reality keeps up the synergy, in a feedback loop.

The crazier a person thinks and acts, the crazier their facial and body aspects become.

Going off the rails results in a pretty mangled pile of machinery.
