Zac, for God's sake grow up!!! I am so damned sick of you mental midgets who try to act as both the thought and word police. We can't use the "N" word, or the "C" word, or the "F" word, or the "B" word. Anyone using the word niggardly is sure to be attacked (if not lynched) in public. Get your head out of your butt, grow up, and stop playing the politically correct game of trying to pander to every possible minority in the world. Some of us can't use the word "Negro", but the American Negro College Fund doesn't seem to have any problem using it to ask for money. I can just imagine the uproar if I were to start the American Caucasian College Fund!! People of every color, all over this country, have been lynched. Using the word doesn't make a person a racist. Why do people like you always have to be trying to cause trouble? Get a life!

Zac:

Are you some type of reverse racists. I have never heard of such nonsense. Do you see racists in your dreams or in your closet? You are an arrogant elitist political correct liberal facist that has no idea about the rest of the world that you don't live in or with.

you should spend your time asking why the N.Y Slimes waits 10 years to try to ruin a good man like McCain right before an election--if it wasnt for guys like Oreilly,Hannity,Limbaugh,Levin and Ingraham we would be going the way of Mussolini with you libs at the helm

People are free to have an opinion and to express it.I may or may not agree with her comments and I can choose to vote for her husband based on her comments with it in mind do I want her as a FIirst Lady to represent my country.Bill O`Reilly has evey reason to be concerned about her comments as should all Americans and voice his opinion as such.

What the hell is going on! when someone, including bill "th mouth" o'reilly has to watch every word that he utters, unless some idiot deems the remark racist... I suppose clarance thomas was racist as well when he described his "high tech lynching"...........during his confirmation hearings I don't hear one word of protest when a jackass like keith obermann calls out general petraous, sorry if I misspelled it , for being nothing but a "PIMP" for the Pres. Bush.....so cut the crap will you!!

Bill O'Reilly showed his objectivity and thoughtfulness by not rushing to prejudge Michelle Obama based on a single, questionable remark. Her thesis at Princeton University is a curiosity as the Obama campaign will not permit it to be released to the public until after the November 2008 elections.

It is clear that the Obama family does not love, nor respect this United States. No flag lapel, no salute to the flag, "for the first time in my life, I'm proud" simply because things are going right for them. These people are disgusting self centered morons.

If you want to diminish the power of O'Reilly to incite, refuse to mention his name, refuse to cover his antics. Allow him to whither and regard him as part of an unimportant fringe element. Like Cheney supporters there will always be a few pathetic, ignorant defects, remember it was Reagan who closed the mental hospitals and they do breed.

Good going Zac...that's your job to tongue-n-cheek issues to stir the pot. You certainly did that...I don't think you really believed what you wrote in this piece...

Jeez! Can anyone say "Hypersensitive?" Get a life Zac. Or at least a real job.

Zac:

Bill O'Reilly is a political commentator. You on the other hand are a blogger for a stock column. He at least is doing the job he has been asked to do. You are misusing your forum. Stick to stock commentary or shut up.

Zach and his boyfriend Keith seem to be the only ones outraged at O'Reillys comments. Both need to get a life and stop crying over O'Reillys success. Neither of them have the talent to compete unless it is with each other.

Obama's comments were offensive to me. Here is a woman who graduated from Princeton and Harvard and I am sure at the expense of American taxpayer through grants or scholarships. At the same time our prseident is handing out Malaria nets to her "African" brothers and sisters. She should be thanking this country every damn day of her life that the way to meet represntatives of AMerica is through the receiving line of getting malaria nets and food programs.

Well said Zac. Judging from the rude replies to your original blog, it appears that Mr. O'Reilly has fanatical followers who have an mutual distaste for freedom of speech not sanctioned by the Republican Party. I am soooo looking forward to the inevitable November regime change, and I have no doubt that those who have such disdain for public discourse will have even more to foam about.

Wow. Who are you people? Do you actually believe the vitriolic ugliness coming out of your heads? Do you actually believe that Bill O'Reilly and the rest of his white, bigoted, uninformed, closed-minded lemmings are worthy of anyone's respect when he (and Oreilly,Hannity,Limbaugh,Levin and Ingraham ) offers only distortions, falsehoods, and bigotry hiding behind his phony astonishment that anyone would possibly think he is interested in anything but his own self-interests? Good God, people, wake up...O'Reilly and the rest of his ilk only exist because they pander to people who are so ignorant, hateful, and intolerant that listening to people like those NewsCorp bullies makes them feel justified in their own ugly opinions. Its sad and scary to me to know how many people like you are out there, but sadder still when you realize that the people you follow so blindly and so lovingly despise you as much as you despise those "liberals" they encourage you to hate. They know that they can manipulate you by using certain key phrases, or by making a big deal out of something inconsequential, and that setting you off on those vicious and stupid tangents keeps you from noticing that they ARE LYING TO YOU AND LAUGHING AT YOUR GULLIBILITY! They use you because they need you to remain ignorant because without you, they don't get paid....a lot....a lot more than you will ever see....and that for them, you are merely the sh*t they have to wade through on their way to the bank. They keep you mad at "liberals" and "intelligencia" because they want you to stay conformist, stupid, and loyal to their shows! For Pete's sake, McCain JOKES about not knowing anything about economics or the economy! I don't know about you people, but I'm sick of handing over all of my tax money and every tax break to come out of this administration to people and corporations that dissolved my father in law's pension, left him with a weak heart and no health coverage for his "retirement". It breaks my heart to see house after house in my middle class neighborhood go up for "sale" because someone's lost their job or gotten sick and can't pay the mortgage any longer. It makes me sick to go into elementary school classrooms...classrooms that were once alive and vibrant and filled with interesting tools to encourage youngsters to learn... and see the dull, depressing looks on the kids' faces because they are sitting at desks, doing "paperwork" because they are being taught what they need to know to pass the standardized tests that are required...and which are, coincidentally, produced by JEB BUSH'S company!! Wake up folks, hatred has NEVER helped anyone...and as I raised my children to believe...the person hurt most by hate is the one doing the hating. Yeah, sorta like that "love your neighbor" kind of thing that the ORIGINAL LIBERAL talked about. Put down the kool aid, take off the blinders, turn off the radio, and look around. It's kind of nice here in Liberal Land.

For all of you that wonder why Black Americans may not be as patriotic as you expect, please copy the above link that provides a widely-distributed history of the word lynching. May it will give you a different perspective on Michelle Obama's comment ... then again, it probably won't - and that is sad.
Many of us feel Senator Obama has been sent to heal this land.
