Asking tough questions = Racism
You just knew this was coming.
It was only a matter of time before far left activists cried “racism” after O’Reilly’s grilling of America’s unpopular Commander in Chief. Salon editor and far left crank Joan Walsh did not disappoint. Today Walsh painted O’Reilly as “borderline racist” for asking questions the rest of the lapdog media would ignore.
Salon reported, via The Blaze:
Watching Fox’s Bill O’Reilly interview President Obama before the Super Bowl last night, you could find evidence for Rich’s view. Obama seemed calm and sane, while O’Reilly appeared unmoored from reality, like a patient who’d gotten a day pass from a sanitarium where delusional convalescents babble about Benghazi and the IRS and the Obamacare website until someone comes and puts them to bed…
…It’s simply stunning: Longtime Republican imagemaker Ailes figured out how to make sure that our twice-elected Democratic president, backed by a coalition that represents an emerging, multiracial America, must periodically be checked and hopefully shamed by a representative of the angry right-wing white male minority that barely considers him a legitimate leader…
… O’Reilly and Ailes and their viewers see this president as unqualified and ungrateful, an affirmative action baby who won’t thank us for all we’ve done for him and his cohort. The question was, of course, deeply condescending and borderline racist. Obama has been afforded “so much opportunity”? What about O’Reilly, who pretends he’s a working-class son of Levittown, Long Island, when he’s actually the kid of an accountant who grew up in Westbury and went to private high school and university?
It’s amazing that this woman can keep a job after such absurd arguments.
