Bill O’Reilly’s Research of Limbaugh’s Race Baiting
Bill O’Reilly claims that “[f]air-minded Americans know that playing the race card is easy and hateful. The only thing we can find about Rush Limbaugh is that he thinks quarterback Donovan McNabb is overrated by some people who want black quarterbacks to succeed.” O’Reilly needs to fire his research staff, or learn to use Google himself… Here’s what he should have found, and aired, if he wanted to be “fair and balanced:”
- “We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles … because his father was black.”
- “I do believe” Obama is an “angry black guy.”
- “[I]n Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering.”
- “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”
- Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot.”
- Obama is “Halfrican-American.”
- “Obama has disowned his white half … he’s decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.”
- Sotomayor “a reverse racist” appointed by Obama, “the greatest living example of a reverse racist.”
- Obama “wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya” and “wants to be the black FDR.”
- Latching onto LA Times op-ed, Limbaugh sings “Barack, The Magic Negro.”
- “God does not have a birth certificate. Neither does Obama”; Obama “has yet to prove he’s a citizen.”
- Limbaugh on Gates controversy: “Here you have a black president trying to destroy a white policeman.”
- Limbaugh suggests Obama would not have acted on Somali pirates if he’d known they were “actually young, black Muslim teenagers.”
- Limbaugh suggests Democrats, media believe “you can’t criticize the little black man-child.”
- “The government’s been taking care of [young blacks] their whole lives.”
- “The days of [minorities] not having any power are over, and they are angry.”
- “[M]inorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.”
- Limbaugh: “The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”
- Limbaugh says “NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips.”
- Limbaugh declares basketball “the favorite sport of gangs.”
- Limbaugh invented “racial component” to Hackett’s decision to withdraw from Ohio primary race.
- Limbaugh on Survivor series: “African-American tribe” worst swimmers, Hispanics “will do things other people won’t do.”
- Limbaugh suggested Colin Powell only supported Obama because of race.
- Limbaugh: Gates is an “angry racist.”
- Limbaugh called illegal immigrants an “invasive species.”
- Limbaugh repeatedly calls Native Americans “Injuns.”
- Limbaugh says Democrats’ interest in Darfur is securing black “voting bloc.”
- Limbaugh says that if “feminazis” had remembered to oppose “affirmative action for black guys … they wouldn’t face the situation they face today.”
Not only does O’Reilly prove that his research is biased, inept, or nonexistent, he distorted reality in regarding to Media Matters For America’s reporting of O’Reilly’s own comments.
OREILLY: Now, I’ve been through this. A couple years ago, I said on the radio that having dinner in Harlem at Sylvia’s Restaurant was the same as having dinner anywhere in America. The context was my grandmother, who was very afraid of blacks, even though she never even met a black person. Her fear was irrational. And I made that point quite clearly.
But the vicious website Media Matters put forth I was denigrating a black-owned restaurant. And some people actually believed it without even listening to the radio broadcast, which I posted on billoreilly.com so everybody could hear it. Well, there goes my NFL career.
Actually, MMFA provided the audio and transcript. Here’s what O’Reilly said about Sylvia’s Restaurant in Harlem:
And I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship.

The NFL decides who becomes an owner not the other way around.
All this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has to offer is his money and his opinions, (which in my opinion are on the fringes of racism, one mans opinion). There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group. Lets face it there are more men with money (Marshall Faulk) that will gladly fill the slot and the Rams will win or lose depending on how well they work as a team and not on whether or not Rush is an owner.
As for Vick, well he is a player (he has talent not like you, Rush or I, unless you are a NFL player?) and he served his time and the NFL decided we live in the land of second chances, so why not (I personally don’t like it but, oh well). Life has never been fair (NEWS FLASH!)
Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless. But the last couple of days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so what is being stifled, it simply is not true, of course, you may not have a radio, so you might want to get one.
