News Bill O'Reilly: Not all black people are crazy
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Sep 25, 2007 at 8:30 PM
Last week, Fox News no-spinmeister Bill O'Reilly went to Sylvia's, a restaurant in Harlem, N.Y., with the Rev. Al Sharpton.
What did Bill discover? Not all black people are crazy.
There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, "M-Fer, I want more iced tea." You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all.
I'm not sure what's more noteworthy: The transparent racism that inspired O'Reilly's "compliment," or the fact that an angry prick who makes his living insulting people puts such a premium on quiet civility.

I live in fear of the day that I meet someone who actually takes this man seriously. Once I wondered "Who are these people?" But now I'd rather not know. He seems to take himself seriously, and that's frightening enough.
how much did bill pay to settle that harrassment suit? his arch nemesis Al Franken is my friend on www.adonkeyandanelephantwalkintoabar.com "VictoratGaImproper" The Demican Party of Georgia is born... John Sugg has been sighted there too but then again, all you shaved head Atlanta Dudes are starting to look alike. Grow some hair will ya?
Victor... It was an undisclosed settlement and I haven't seen any leaks of what the amount was. She wanted an insane sum of cash, though. Bill can afford it.
Reza, you were right about this arrogant republican! He's sad. ...Thanks Thomas, you got me craving falafel now.
Maybe RZA of Wu-Tang? We all know how tight Bill is with the hip-hop scene. http://www.rawkus.com/content/?p=470
