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!

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!

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!
To: HARD ATTACK 51
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.

Where is O'Reilly's Jihad against BET - Black Entertainment Television?
To: Terp
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.

Sheesh - I give up.

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?

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....

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.

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.

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.
