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!

and persecuting 18 years olds that

Perdue needs to go.

Not because of any of this but because the first act of the first Republican Governor since the Yankee occupation, RAISED TAXES.

Heck, at least we knew what we had when Zell Miller was Governor.

I am ashamed of the responses that a few FReepers have made about this issue. I fought with Blacks and Hispanics in Viet Nam and I would rather have them in my home than the bigots on this website. You people have no problem with refusing admittance of a fellow graduate because of their skin color? Sheeessss...a hundred and thirty five years have passed since the end of the Civil War and you people still discriminate people because of their race. People have no control over their race and but for the grace of God go you. What will you say if on judgment day you find out God is black? Or if God would say "No bigots need apply."

She was reading the Governor's statement precisely.

Have you ever watched an Ari Fleisher press conference?

Bigots? Who are you directing this to?

I think that word is thrown around, and as someone commited to racial harmony, I think it is a mistake to use it with so little care.

What posts have you read in this thread that you think are racist?

Why in the world are we defending a white prom? It's a startling anachronism and I'm amazed we're still engaged in this kind of segregation. It's like we've fallen through a time warp and are defending "separate but equal" all over again. O'Reilly has his head on straight and is absolutely correct in chewing Perdue out on this one.

And I have persuasively made the point that many schools in liberal enclaves like Boston have all-white proms, not by dictate but by demography!

Send this to O'Reilly and encourage him to pursue it.

The FACT is, by dictate, a group of white kids in Albany, Georgia decided to have an all-white prom.

That's what this is about.

Addendum to my comment #58:

Both O'Reilly programs said, rather obscurely, that the private prom was just that, a private affair - not pubilcly funded, etc.

But if you long-blinked you missed that part, mostly you heard that it was a school event by inference or why did the school principal & teachers or GA Govenor allow this travesty.....

Alright, I'm probably gonna get all kinds of flack for saying this, but I really don't care. There are times when black people want to be with other black people and white people want to be with other white people. It is not necessarily exclusionary. Blacks have been having their own private proms for many years. There can be several reasons for this. One, when it comes to dances, blacks and white often do not enjoy the same style of music. Second, and I realize this is a biggie for some people; at dances there is more intimate contact between members of the opposite sex and MANY people, black and white, do not want have those kinds of relationships with members of another race. It might be a family thing or it might be a personal thing, but either way, it doesn't make you a racist.

Speaking personally, there is a couple that I work with who are also relatively close neighbors. They are black. I like them both and have no problems whatsoever with socializing with them. They bug me about going out with them to a club dancing. I also have no problem telling them that there are no white men at the clubs they go to and that is why I wouldn't want to go. They joke about it, but they are not in the least offended by it. Some people are just professional offendees and I'm getting pretty sick of hearing from them.

I do not support the prom, or any of the other race issues used in this country.

On the other hand Oreilly is beginning to sound like a pompous p. ant that believes that he has the authority to call a Governor on the carpet because the Governor has not done what he demands. Like blackmail and I don't like either side using it for any reason.

Why would anyone want to go to a prom with people like this and why didn't Oreilly go after them for their stupidity.

Talk about a police state demanding the Governor take charge.

Only reason I know is 'cause I was 'born and bred' there.
I was just confused by the errors in faithincowboys posting,
and wondered if there was more than one event.

No it's just his attempt to keep his ratings up. O'Reilly is becoming more a joke everyday and I predict he will soon go over the line and he'll be the story not others.

"professional offendees"....that's a great phrase. May I borrow it occasionally, with attribution?

It is really quite simple:
Do you, or do you not, have the right to invite guests of your choosing to your own private party?
That is the question.
Yes or no? (clock is ticking)
