O'Reilly Seeks to Destroy Georgia Republican Governor

[citizen]

I think you mis-understand the FR stance, at least my stance for sure.

Freedom of association, freedom of assembly still is the law of the land in America. Period.

If you say those rights don't apply in a non-governmental setting on private property because of a consideration based on race [or any other PC "right"] -- well what were you fighting for anyway?

Grow some hide dude.

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

That is the whole point! This was a private act. Not school or state sponsored. People in this country have the right to be bigots! We may find it offensive, but it is their right.

Change it from race. What if it was a Jewish only private gathering? How about gays or non-gays only? What law does this offend? Mind you, I am not talking about a government-sponsored or school (smae thing) sponsored event. I am speaking only of private association.

You may recoil at the racist element of the Georgia thing, especially in the manner in which it has been publicized. But look out when you holler for the government to step in to organize the guest list at your private functions. That is one genie you want safely in the bottle.

I'm not defending it. But it was a private affair, and there will be an integrated one this week.

So several dozen white kids organize their own side prom and O'Reilly wants to behead the Republican Governor of the state that had as much to do with it as he did with the tornadoes in the Midwest. It is insane!

[freeangel]

This school IS sponsoring an integrated prom. This other affair(think dinner dance) was 50 miles away and paid for with private funds. The governor nor Bill O has any business getting involved in friends associating with friends.

Bill "Sadam" O Reilly speaks like a dictator, it's his way or else. Very similar to the Democraps politics of FEAR, DIVISION and HATRED!

[Howlin]

Thank you for the link.

Very sad events, but it's their constitutional right to look like jerks.

And it sure isn't any business of the governor's, regardless of what O'Reilly says.

I love the Factor,but this is a full tilt boggie SPIN!

[citizen]

"OMG....you are so right!"

ditto that H

I bet O'Reilly caves on this one fast, I'm already changing the channel....and viewership is O'Reily's BIG FACTOR so to speak....

[leprechaun9]

Where is O'Reilly's Jihad against BET - Black Entertainment Television?

[faithincowboys]

By linking, unfairly, Perdue with this all-white prom. 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).

The South has changed a lot and many Suburbanites in Atlanta and elsewhere who are going Right on taxes, National Security, etc. might get turned off to the party due to the false perception that liberal idiots and professional jerks like O'Reilly have made.

Georgia is the New South and what several dozen kids in Baldwin County have done doesn't change that.

Also, segregated (all-black, all-hispanic) dorms public Universities should factor into the debate.

"...Baldwin County..."

Who cares about facts?
Sheesh - I give up.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[citizen]

To use an Factor term, I think O'Reilly's gonna be "hiding under his desk" before this is over.

What a dunderhead to be demanding that legal, private behavior must adhear to his rules.

Why did I ever take this guy seriously?

[TrueBeliever9]

Strange, I have never heard anyone protest "The Black Student Union" which exists at most colleges. Or the fact some black students hold their own graduations (with only blacks). I often wondered what would happen if "The White Student Union" was instituted at colleges. Or if white students elected to have an all white graduation ceremony. Now, some will call me probably label me a racist for posting this - but I deal with fact or fiction. There is a double standard....

[sweetliberty]

"The people will vote to ratify this flag next year.I suspect it will be approved and issue will be dead."

Guess again.

The latest in the Georgia flag-ban folly

[sweetliberty]

One thing you gotta give O'Reilly; he is just as passionate when he is dead wrong as he is when he is right. At least he's consistent.

[mathluv]

I emailed him while the show was on. I don't want to live in a state where the governor has the right to tell anyone who attends what party.

[mhking]

Of course, the first (and formost) question: Bill, what the hell does the Governor of the state of Georgia have to do with it?

The school and more particularly the students chose to have two different proms. I didn't see Sonny Perdue standing on the steps daring the National Guard to integrate the dance...

How moronically stupid is Bill O'Reilly becoming? Has he inherited some brain disease?

He's got some personal problem with Sonny Perdue, and as opposed to looking like a complete a$$, he needs to admit it and move it.
