This was taken WAY out of context...I saw O'Reilly interviewed on Hardball yesterday when he set the record straight. Try to find a transcipt of the O'Reilly/Matthews interview...Bill puts things in perspective. The guys were late to the show...He was on stage alone saying "Where are those guys?? Get em out here!" The entire audience was laughing so he started making jokes about them being late...The hubcap remark was ONE of his little jokes about them...The entire audience was cracking up...then they finally showed up, he shook hands with a few, and sat down. There was nothing racist about it...just another attempt by the libs to demonize opposition and destory the character of those they hate.

Sounds a lot like the Trent Lott defense. ;^)

This is getting blown out of proportion, but in liberals eyes, this isn't the first time. He is not a racist, but he has made some "racially insensitive" comments in the past. He used the term "wetback" once, before quickly correcting himself, and at one benefit for childred, was trying to make a couple of illegals jokes, that he screwed up (I really have my doubts if he writes his own stuff sometimes) that sounded like shots at spanish people in general (not just mexican, but spanish, as a whole).
