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?


FYI, I am not and never have been contacted by Gov. Perdue, if he wants to contact me, I'm receptive to that.

Chicken to face O'Reilly himself? I think the good old boy
could probably make Chicken a la Queen out of the smirking, sanctimonious O'Reilly in his Joseph Abboud suits.

And since when is it a Governors job to shame teenagers who attend a private prom? For racists, those kids attend a school with a majority black population. One guesses if they hated integration so much, they could get money together and attend an all-white private school like our liberal friends.

Once upon a time, I liked O'Reilly. What happened?

He sure did, he's spinning it to his pre-conceived notions.....seems like an anti-South bias to me, maybe, why else would he blatently skew the story?

Trying to spin it like it's a school-sponsored event.....

I'm much disillusioned with O'Reilly over this fiasco.....but there are other channels, other programs to watch.

Is that any excuse for this group of white trash?

When blacks do similar things (all-black parties, clubs, graduation ceremonies, student unions, etc.) do you refer to them as "black trash"?

I would almost bet that the first "school-sponsored" prom last year was held at this location and I would almost bet that there was plenty of anti-white propaganda there. No wonder the white kids want something separate - they don't want to be preached to; they want to have a plain-old genuine prom.

Do you know what prejudice is? Its prejudging before you have facts. Duh? "I would almost bet" sounds like you might be a bit prejudiced?

they have a right to be stupid, but what does O'Reilly think the governor can do about it?

He could speak out against it but he doesnt want to offend the good ole boys who elected him.

"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)."

Or what about the more government entrenched "Congressional BLACK Caucas? Suppose we started a Congressional WHITE Caucas. And why is it that every political candidate has to bend down and kiss the butt of every black who claims to be somebody important to be approved as suitable to serve BLACK interests, but nobody would dare suggest that any of them be approved by a group who stood for the interests of whites? The hypocrisy makes me ill, and the result, I'm afraid, is that I really no longer give a d*mn who gets offended by what I say or how I say it...not that I go out of my way to offend anybody, but it is sorely tempting at times. Still, I will NOT censor my speech because there is some racebaiting jackass looking for any little thing to attack.

My guess is that Dave S will answer that those kids would have the right to be celebrating their diversity.

Why is it the governor's job to speak out about a private party?

"Sounds like a double standard to me."

That's because it is exactly what it is.

I just saw the late edition of O'Really and if he wasn't taking a straight aim at the governor's jugular with a butcher knife, I don't know what else you would call it.

Bill goes off on the deep end about every 45 days or so, then seems to level off fairly well.

He needs a vacation.

Well, I just watched the rerun of O'Reilly. He acted like a jerk.

No, actually, he was exemplifying the very essence of the GOP, which is anti-racist and the party that freed the slaves but refused to pay them for the privilege.

A pass? No, not at all.

What do you suggest we do?

By the way, waht about all-black and all-hispanic dorms at Public Universities?

This was a private event!

Also, I think it is incumbent on everyone so "outraged" to show how racially integrated their lives are.

I will give no pass to those who live segregated lives and are up in arms about the action of several dozen Geogria teenagers!

This was the first time that I wanted to just TURN HIM OFF!
He went way overboard on this story, and my respect for him has gone down quite a few notches.

I agree. O'Reilly was an idiot tonight. First of all, he was the one doing the spinning tonight in the no spin zone. He repeatedly tried to lead people to believe the prom was school sponsored. Over and over again he stated that it was a school prom. It was not. It was a private party. On another note, I didn't get the impression that the woman was stupid at all. She seemed rather well spoken to me. It's not easy trying to make points with a blowhard like O'Reilly interrupting every 5 seconds. I don't need to be saved or protected by O'Reilly, thank you. I can take care of myself and decide what is right and wrong just fine by myself.

WOW!

Oh my goodness!

He is going to go nuclear tommorow!

I must say, I am shocked by that. Are liberals voting to make Factor watchers look like haters?

IMO, what good does it do to have "conservative" shows on TV when they end up acting like O'Reilly, among others.

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.


Typical cheap shot. If you had paid any attention to thread or the discussion you would know "heritage refered to flag which is only racist to those who perceive it as so.I was only attempting to explain the mindset.I peronally have come to the conclusion the flag is not worth fighting over. I am happy Perdue has found a compromise that will be acceptable to all except the race huslers and a few good old boys.Neither of these will ever be happy.
