Don't agree with an all-white prom, but:
1. It's a private party.
2. Blacks on campuses do much worse segregationist acts and don't get slammed: black-only convocations, black-only student unions, black-only dorms, black-only graduations, black-only cafeterias, and on & on.....

No matter the issue, O'Reilly tends to take on an attitude that he is saving the world, at times.

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.

Am I correct in that this all-white prom was a private function and NOT a school sponsored event? If so, it's none of the school's business, the gov of Georgia's business, or Bill O'Reilly's business.

It would be no worse than having a birthday party and being able to extend invitations to those you choose to attend.

O'Reilly frequently displays a self-righteous attitude that he has the right and obligation to tell everybody else how to behave and tends to sound like a preacher.

Yeah but then Bill is generally pretty full of himself anyway.

Were the kids morally wrong to exclude their black peers from their private prom? Yes.No. Not immoral. Freedom of association. On the other points, I agree. OReilly is a jackass.

Well, this is a sure sign that things are almost back to pre-911 normalcy. The week before 9/11, O'Reilly's undies were in a bundle because his flight to Chicago was delayed 15 minutes....FIFTEEN MINUTES! (a little O'Reilly lingo there) and he was demanding that Congress pass The Passengers Bill of Rights pronto.

I get a kick out of O'Reilly's forehead vein doing the Macarena, but once he starts demanding that government "do something"....well, that's when I start getting nervous.

O'Reilly regularly goes on these blame game crusades...and he just sounded like a blow-hard tonight.

Question: if the Governor was not a Republican, would you still be so upset at O'Reilly? Bill said what he said now if the Gov. has any balls he will come on himself and make a statement of his view, instead of sending a rep to talk for him. Bill is tough on everyone even the Pope and Bill is a Catholic, that is why I like him.

You're obsessed with this all-white prom.

Perdue is a coward. He sends a shoe-size IQ black woman to debate O'Reilly; she ends up reading most of what she had to say, which was not much. He cut her to ribbons because she was not prepared to say much of anything.

O'Reilly's incensed about this all-white prom because it's an "in-your-face" to the blacks in that community. Remember, last year, this same school sponsored an integrated prom.

Perdue ran on a vote on a referendum on a pseudo-confederate flag, and the legislature deprived him of that.

He can't afford to hack off the NASCAR crowd any further, so he's hiding.

O'Reilly lost all his credibility on race issues when he called Hispanic-Americans "wetbacks" on his program several months ago.

Fame is a killer. O'Reilly is walking into the trap that will destroy him. He thinks he is smarter than God. I wrote him off months ago when he made fun of the Pope. He will
do harm to Fox News in the long run because of his arrogance.

O'Reilly was at his finest tonight. If I were Sonny Perdue, I'd go on O'Reilly's show and make it clear that I am governor of the state of Georgia, I was elected by the people of Georgia and I will conduct matters in my state in the way I see fit.

O'Reilly said that the Governor must go down to the school's integrated prom and should hold a news conference. O'Reilly: Butt OUT. Who do you think you are?

Georgia is all ready in a state of racial tension, due to the flag issue,

Only in the minds of the race baiters.
The rest of us get along just fine.
And we still want a say in just what flag flies.

I don't like to quote Imus, but here goes:

"OReilly should get over himself."

Race is all a part of the curse. Another thing we won't have to deal with in the Kingdom. Soon Lord soon. Maybe even before the next election.

I find O'Reilly's stance on this untenable and grotesque

....so do I, and I told him so, but I think he didn't hear me.
