O'Reilly Seeks to Destroy Georgia Republican Governor
Posted on 05/06/2003 5:58:32 PM PDT by faithincowboys
Tonight, Bill has continued his jihad against Georgia Republican Governor Sonny Perdue. O'Reilly, who recently made what many considered an anti-black remark, has launched a full frontal assault on Perdue.
Inexplicably, Bill O blames the GOP Gov for an all-white private prom that recently occured in Baldwin County Georgia. Of course, if the Governor could prevent the white kids from having a private prom, we would be living in a totalitarian state.
Bill is clearly seeking to destroy Perdue to deflect from his racially insensitive faux pas.
Perdue's Black Female Press Secretary was on The Factor tonight and Bill was rude and hostile to her, it kinda made you think that if Bill were throwing a private party at his big Long Island digs (why doesn't he live closer to work in a more diverse area?) he wouldn't invite her unless she agreed to hold a serving tray all night.
Georgia is all ready in a state of racial tension, due to the flag issue, Bill's attempt to destroy Georgia's first Republican Governor since Reconstruction is, without a doubt, an assault on the GOP.
We should all let O'Reilly know how we feel about this. Also, when O'Reilly's young daughter becomes school age, we must demand that he sends her to a school in Harlem. The white kids who went to that prom attend a 55% African American majority high school and live more racially integrated lives than O'Reilly and his wealthy Long Island elitists ever have.
Were the kids morally wrong to exclude their balck peers from their private prom? Yes. Were they legally wrong? No. Does Sonny Perdue bear any culpability in the matter? Absolutely Not!
O'Reilly is now demanding that Perdue hold a press conference, go on The Factor, and/or go to this week's integrated prom.
I find O'Reilly's stance on this untenable and grotesque. Hobbling a Republican Governor (unfairly) driving up anti-Republican sentiment in the South (a region integral to Dubya's re-election) and galvanizing Southern Democrats is a clear sign that Bill is not on our team.
Maybe he's not on the D team either, perhaps, he is on his own team-- in a very Clintonian way. His jihad against Georgia's Governor is to appease the NYC, DC chattering class who think he is a racist and suspect his Jesse Jackson fixation is rooted in racism.
In a suck up to his critics, Bill O has thrown an innocent man to the wolves. This is outrageous!

"You're smart enough to know that an "all-white" anything is an invitation to scrutiny." But all black never is. Don't you find that a little bit hypocritical? I find it a LOT hypocritical....and wrong.

If that is what you are going to reduce this to, than you need to take that up with your literacy teacher.
Reading comprehension might be something you want to learn.
To: sinkspur
Do you happen to know if O'Reilly ever have an opinion on the Martha Burke vs. Augusta National Golfcourse debate?
I don't recall one way or the other.

You must be one of those people that sees racists behind every bush. I have read the entire thread and I have yet to see a single racist comment. Good grief. has the left so brainwashed us that we can't even have discussions anymore?

O'Reilly wants to be looked upon as a "moderate" he hates to be called a conservative. I disagree with the all white prom however the Governor has no blame in the matter. And second O'Reilly can talk all he wants about how it is wrong to justify wrong with other wrongs. Their are black supremicist events all the time and O'Reilly hasn't said a word. At my college there is going to be a Hip Hop day for blacks. It is ridiculous, this is what I call reverse segregation.

Aren't you bigoted against the British?
To: faithincowboys
O'Reilly is an equal opportunity basher. Perdue deserves bashing. To hide and not make any comment about the all white prom "because there is nothing in it for me" is disgraceful. While he couldnt prevent it, he as a leader could certainly have shamed those that took part in it speaking out against it. Instead Perdue hid, not wanting to offend the folk. Thats not called leadership. If Perdue cant take the heat, he ought to get out of the kitchen. And whats with getting you to fight his battles. Is he chicken to face O'Reilly himself?

Are you Bill O? You speak like him. If your not him, Get An

To: faithincowboys
I think the kids will mature and realize the insensitivity of what they have done, but putting scarlet Rs on them is no answer You think they are going to learn without their parents and the local leaders telling them that its wrong. Doubtful. If they were shamed now, maybe in the future they will understand why.

O'Reiily is totally justified in decrying the Governors silence and you are delusional if you think calling racists to account is bad for the GOP.
If you are not a rat operative to begin with.

Still, to repeat, the school is sponsoring an intergrated prom this year, same as last year.
So what's your proiblem [other than being the PC Police (think about that please)] with some folks donig a private gathering in a manner you seem to abhor?
[I want to know every detail of your life, I'm serious, I'm betting I can rip you apart, in a PC manner if only I know all the details....wanna bet?]
That's the problem with PC Nazisim, all will be ground to dust if closely examined by an iflexiblle code...

"It makes casual Republicans and Independents in the South feel (like Natalie Maines) "Ashamed" of their party and urgent to distance themselves from the bad old days of racism (where the Democrats reigned supreme)." Maybe it is US who need to get away from the knee-jerk reactions every time some racebaiting leftist squeals "racist". Personally, I think that is more divisive, and more deplorable, than having an all-white or all-black social event.

Also, making the 18 year old white kids that went to the all-white prom national pariahs is not going to advance anything. I think the kids will mature and realize the insensitivity of what they have done, but putting scarlet Rs on them is no answer.And I hope that blacks that have attended all-black functions will mature and realize the insensitivity of what they have done.

To: Paul Atreides
You're correct that it was a private affair--a private party, not a school-sponsored function. And i have to wonder if the kids purposely excluded blacks from attending, or if they simply invited friends in their clique who, by virtue of the nature of cliques, tend to be a homogeneous group. I don't think it's something that the Governor needs to involve himself in--it's not the govt's business who invites whom to a private party. Talk about a slippery slope!

Coming on the heels of the flag flap many rural whites in Ga.are beginning to feel that Atlanta Liberals and their largest voting block (45-50% of Dem Vote is Black)spend to much time insulting them and their heritage. Dont tell me that the heritage of rural whites in Georgia is racism. I doubt it very much. But some of you seem only too keen on giving these group of white trash a pass.
