Discussion: Megyn Kelly Schools Bill O'Reilly On 'White Privilege' (VIDEO)

He promised to raise our taxes, kill jobs, end Christmas and take all of the guns in America away for redistribution to Sharia Law advocates and illegal aliens. Clearly, he has not held up on that promise!

I live in the heart of “Tea Party” country. They loved Dubya at the time. He was a “great Chrisitian man” and a “business man”. Dubya simply took Reagan’s policies of reckless taxcuts and run away government spending (as long as it was spent on things that blew up brown skin people) and put it on steriods. They had Dubya signs in every yard. If you dared criticized Dubya’s policies, they called you a traiter who doesn’t love your country. If you spoke out against the Patriot Act, you were told you shouldn’t be concerned “as long as you have nothing to hide”

They abandoned him when he drove the economy into the gutter and don’t want to admit it now. They made him a scapegoat rather than admit it was their ideology of tax cuts, massive deregulation, and starting wreckless wars that caused the metldown and a runaway national debt . They’re cowards. They stand for nothing. They have no higher principles than hating a black President, which is why the “Tea Party” didn’t formally show it’s face until 2009.

President Obama promised to be president for every American, period.

Schooling? BS just competing theories as to who is to blame. The Black man, or Obama. Oh yea he is Black.

Well at least, in the end, the two Fox commentators were able to agree it was Obama’s fault.

Had me worried. I thought a logical, reality-based discussion might break out on Fox News. Dodged a bullet.

I have to say that the obsession of TPM with what goes on at Fox News is really becoming tiresome. Is it really of any concern how much “debate” Rupert Murdoch allows among his paid propagandists? It’s not like Megyn Kelly is actually paving new ground here. It goes to show how Fox is really driving public discourse about all things. And TPM is taking the click bait. Instead of actually covering real public debate, TPM has decided evidently to generate its own hits that the most interesting thing is minor squabbles inside the right wing echo chamber. For the life of me I don’t see how this benefits anyone except the right wingers themselves who must be delighted that they command almost all of the space left for public discussion.

Condensed Newsbunny Kelly: “Oh Bill, you’ve forgotten to find a way to blame Obama and the Democrat Governor of MO for all of this. This is FOX fer’ gawwd’s sake; remember Ailes’ script for such shows as this. Now…let me correct that for you. …All better.”

‘FOXbunny spinreader Kelly ‘schooling’ BillO’ …PUUUULEEEEEEZZE!

It was all on Fox. I don’t know how you missed it. There was the free welfare forever paid for by hard working white people, the mass firings of white people so black people could be dropped into their jobs regardless of credentials or qualifications (apparently, Congress stopped that one after the mass firings but before the substitutions), the promise to disarm whitey, the unfulfilled “empty the prisons of all black violent (but I repeat myself) offenders” program. It’s really been just one failure after another.

New Rule: Can white people stop publicly analyzing black people? If you are white and the only knowledge you have about black people has been garnered from The Moynihan Report, The Redd Foxx Show, or The Wire, then, sorry, you’ve been misled.

O’Reilly and Kelly have just given us a lovely demonstration of white privilege. The residents of Ferguson have legitimate concerns about policing, government overreach, and the loss of constitutional rights. Aren’t these the main concerns of libertarians and the tea party, who remained silent and invisible during the past three weeks? Yet O’Reilly focuses on black behavior and culture as the problem while Kelly opines about blacks not getting the goods from President Obama.

What in the world does Asian success have to do with the death of unarmed black men at the hands of the police or with the militarization of the police?

White privilege is real. However some people make their way out of poverty. One of the biggest problem facing poor families in the lack of a father living in the house. In fact some of the major problems facing poor families are evident in middle and upper middle class families without fathers as well.

Kids without fathers have higher rates of incarceration, suicides, high school dropout, juveniles detention, aggression, delinquency, criminal activity and lower levels of academic attainment.

Fathers are very important.

Yea I kind of feel dirty and used. See we can’t put progressive ideas forward, all we can do is listen to the echo chamber.

Makes me wonder why Democrats do not vote?

Yes, it is a rather odd path that TPM has chosen - keeping us up to date on what Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and Bill O’Reilly have to say. As if we don’t already know.

I guess when the Democratic Party doesn’t have many accomplishments it can point to, this is what happens - an effort to avert our gaze from their impotence.

I don’t know about the rest of the black people, but I’ve been getting those ObamaChecques since January 20, 2009. Every week, like clockwork, I get a check for seven gabillion bazillion dollars. And then I tap dance my way to the bank to deposit it. Did y’all know that Cadillacs come in lime green?

[The reality: Spouse (with an MBA) lost job one week after we attended the inauguration. Out of work for two years. Finally found a job at 30% of his 2009 salary. I drive a 15-year-old, rusting clunker. Can’t tap dance worth a darn. Still grateful we can pay the mortgage.]

Thanks for pointing that out. I can name 10 crazy, tea party, nutjob congressmen, but I can’t name 10 hard-working, progressive Democrats. Democrats are so demoralized and scared that I don’t know where they are or what they stand for.

So it’s not the over 400 years of institutionalized racism and brutality, it’s ALL Obama’s fault!

What’s sad is, a lot of blackademics will agree with her.

Once he’s done with killing important folks, he may throw the blacks a bone and re-kill MLK.

Only on Fox could white privilege be Obama’s fault.

Megyn Kelly has said she could argue any point she choses. She has the intellectual chops and when she actually has the facts on her side can be very impressive.

Bill, where do you get your hood drycleaned.
