our constitution gaurantees the right to be OFFENDED

God Bless America!

If someone has particular feelings, fine, it's a free country. But they don't have the right to impose their feelings on everyone else and treat it as law. No society can survive if we must accept every individual's subjective feelings of offense at face value. There has to be something objective. That's what law is.

Bozell can't pass judgment on private feelings, but he has every right to express his opinion on what society should objectively count as legitimate offense. What O'Reilly said was not objectively offensive.

OK, I admit, I can't take this one seriously. I keep thinking of the opening scene in "Blazing Saddles," where the white cowboys were expecting the blacks to sing "Camptown Races," only to hear Cleavon Little break out with Cole Porter. The cowboys expected the blacks to act like fools, but instead the cowboys made fools of themselves. In my opinion, even if you thought O'Reilly was revealing his prejudice, the worst you could say is that he made a fool of himself for expecting a black restaurant to be filled with George Jeffersons or Amos and Andy. But in the context of what he was saying, it sounded to me like he was ridiculing that expectation himself.

Can't take any of it seriously.

Can you give us a second and third source for the restaurant worker quotes? Or at least a URL so we can decide for ourselves what was actually said?

You have that link?The one that says the folks were offended even after hearing the radio show.

Sounds like whiteys fault.....send Jessie more money.

I normally change the channel when Al or Jessie come on but I stuck around for Jessie tonight. That won't happen again!

Hey B.O., aren't there any other black leaders out there?

If being a Black Leader was a performance based position Al and Jessie would be selling used cars by now!

Wisdom,

Quick question were the people in the restaurant offended by what Bill said or by what was reported to have been said by Bill?? Second question do you believe it is acceptable for CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC to misrepresent what Bill actually said?

probably come to us through hater, who, after he was banned went to another site to openly recruit leftists to come here.  He also supposedly taught them how to register multiple names.   They were told to let them sit dormant until wanted in the future.

This is not paranoia or fantasy on my part.  I read his postings over there for awhile, until I got bored.  He was quite open about what he was doing.  At one point, he was even advocating for everyone to bomb the site with these registered names at a given time....like election day.  

Was O'reily's comments offensive ?...or was it the way his comments were assembled, reproduced, and presented by CNN that created the Offensive sound bite  ? 

I'm sorry, but there's nothing there.

I'm sure the Jena 6 victim was offended by his need to be hospitalized........and when one loses consciousness because of a beating, they mentally suffer for months from concussion like symptoms.

Bill O is a long way from being anything like the "Jena 6" syndrome. 

I was insulted by the PBS debate and some things that were said on that stage.....I was outraged....but CNN isn't covering my outrage.  

I'm sure the Retaurant manager was not as outraged initially, as he was shortly after Bill's Visa payment was approved.
