Bill O'Reilly: Fighting the Attack on white, Christian, heterosexual male dominance....
Edited on Thu May-31-07 06:03 PM by marmar
'Cause in Bill-O's mind, that's the way it was intended to be


From Media Matters:

O'Reilly: Immigration bill supporters want to "change the complexion" of America

On the May 29 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, host Bill O'Reilly asserted that the proposed immigration reform bill is supported by "people who hate America, and they hate it because it's run primarily by white, Christian men. Let me repeat that. America is run primarily by white, Christian men, and there is a segment of our population who hates that, despises that power structure." He continued: "So they, under the guise of being compassionate, want to flood the country with foreign nationals, unlimited, unlimited, to change the complexion -- pardon the pun -- of America. Now, that's hatred, too." O'Reilly later asserted that The New York Times "wants to change the white, Christian male power structure" and later concluded: "So you've got racism on the anti-Latino front, and you have racism on the anti-Christian, white male front. Aha! Isn't that interesting?"

As Media Matters for America documented, O'Reilly has previously warned that pro-immigration activists want to alter the racial demographics of the United States. During the April 11, 2006, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly said of New York City Councilman Charles Barron: "he bottom line is Charles Barron said last night is there is a movement in this country to wipe out 'white privilege' and to have the browning of America." In the April 11 interview with O'Reilly on Westwood One's The Radio Factor, Barron at no point claimed that he and other advocates for immigrant rights are motivated by a desire to force white Americans into the minority -- despite O'Reilly's repeated efforts to provoke such an acknowledgment.

From the May 29 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: OK, I think it's a small part, but I think it's there. On the other side, you have people who hate America, and they hate it because it's run primarily by white, Christian men. Let me repeat that. America is run primarily by white, Christian men, and there is a segment of our population who hates that, despises that power structure. So they, under the guise of being compassionate, want to flood the country with foreign nationals, unlimited, unlimited, to change the complexion -- pardon the pun -- of America. Now, that's hatred, too. It's a different kind of hatred, but it's hatred and best exemplified by The New York Times, which today says in its editorial, quote: "Those who want bill to be better are horribly conflicted by it. Their emotions still seem vastly overmatched by the ferocity of the opposition from the restrictionist right, with talk radio lighting up over 'amnesty,' callers spitting out the words with all the hate they can pour into it," unquote. .....(more)

1. I saw him talking about this on his show, with Malkin sitting there
nodding in agreement. Someone needs to explain to her that she is neither male nor "white", no matter how hard she tries to pass. Talking about drinking the kool-aid!!

2. Easiest fix: show her video of white folks talking about her when she's not there....
... That would likely be clarifying for her.

3. The complexion of America has already changed. The problem xenophobes have is believing that you
can put the genie back in the bottle.

This weekend I went to a Michaels store and out front were all these Spanish language free papers. In the past that would have started me off in a tirade about the changes going on in society that were effecting me negatively.

I have learned since then that we are going through the same thing that went on in the West when the Chinese were forced to hide back in the 1800's. We wanted them here to build the railroads but we didn't want them to influence our society.

It does not bother me anymore that our culture is getting more and more diversified. That's the way it is and to rail against it is like pissing in the wind. You only generate negative forces in your body that you don't need.

Our culture has changed and it isn't going to change back.

9. I don't understand. I don't see that in the OP.

If you mean the white christian male power structure well I do see it changing. That's why there is such a backlash against the cultural changes IMHO.

5. Well yeah, except that the "white christian men" who "run" America
are the ones taking the actions that cause immigrants to come here. From the standpoint of these white christian men, immigration serves the same purpose as Wal Mart - it depresses wages in the US in order to enhance the competitveness of American corporations in the global marketplace.

Immigration is a lot of things, some good, some bad, but it definitely is not an assault on the white christian men who run America.

6. He's right! We need more white Christian guys! Anyone know any?
Maybe we could offer a tax break to anyone willing to become rich and white. And male, although that would require a larger tax break. Need a lot of retraining to get used to having the buttons on the other side.

7. Um, Bill, It's The White Power Structure That's Hiring Illegal Laborers
It's the agriculture, meat-packing, construction, hotel, and restaurant industries that's hiring most of the illegals, and they're run by White Christian men.

13. Bill doesn't mind being dominated.
He just wants to pay good money for someone to do it to him.

14. Pencildick sounds scared.
O' Blowy dreams about being in the power structure of all white men (sorry ladies), washing/sponging their Adonis like bodies with milk and a looofaaa...no wait, what was it? A waffle!

O' Blowy dreams of a White Christmas. Only problem is he hates Jesus. Who does Blowy NOT dislike? I think he just spits venom now - like a Novak flunky.
