Here 'tis, the most racist video Bill O'Reilly and his band of bilious, infectious morons have concocted to date. They've really outdone themselves this time, and that's saying something, m-fers.
Purportedly out to take a glimpse into the "secular progressive" city of San Francisco, whose citizens have been "emboldened" by Obama's election (Billdo actually says that, as if liberals are a rebel force!), a couple O'Reilly Factor producers traveled west to make a sort of infomercial on the City by the Bay. What they actually created is more accurately a modern mini-Birth of a Nation.
See all the white women run scared of all the crazy homeless citizens, drugged up hippies, transgendered, and black people, after the jump.
Aha-ha. Not that any of you keep abreast of the goings-on in Tennessee's dailies, but The Murfreesboro Post had quite the kerfuffle on their hands when a La Vergne principal, Stephen Lewis, wrote one of his "humor columns" filled with "humor jokes" about Barack Obama's election as president.
Which would have been fine, if the "satiric" post hadn't been filled with such mind-boggling racist caricatures and archetypes that you wonder if Lewis likes to dress up in blackface on Halloween.
Let's just say the entire column was just revised words to the Jefferson's theme song, such as:
“Well we’re movin’ on up,
To Washington, D.C.
To a deee-luxe pimp pad,
Painted whiiiite.
Yeah we’re movin’ on up,
To the White House.
I’ll be jetting with P. Diddy cross the sky.
Awesome. Someone misinterpreted Robert Downey Jr.'s role in Tropic Thunder, hmm?
So after this news got out on blogs and what not, Principal Lewis was forced to make an apology to his students and their parents, several of which you imagine to be African-American themselves. ::Pulls collar:: Is it getting hot in here guys?

Listen, no one deserves to die, but if you are trying to join the KKK and "something goes terribly awry," don't expect too many of us to shed a lot of tears, lady.
Also, who goes into a convenience store and asks how to get blood out of clothes? If Patrick Bateman taught us anything, it's that you say it is cranberry juice.
The furor, mostly centered in Italy, surrounding Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi joke/gaffe/insult/whatever about Barack Obama's "suntan" pales in comparison to comments from some other European public figures in the wake of Barack Obama's historic win. Respected Austrian journalist Klaus Emmerich said that he "wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man," before unabashedly admitting that it was a racist comment. Polish lawmaker stood up during a Parliament session after the election and said that Obama's win "marks the end of the white man's civilization" and that "America will soon pay a high price for this quirk of democracy."
Unfortunately, you had to know this was coming.
Angered by the news that black voters were a major factor in the success of Prop 8, California's gay marriage ban, some segments of yesterday's anti-Prop 8 protests in LA soon devolved into hateful pits of racism:
Geoffrey, a student at UCLA and regular Rod 2.0 reader, joined the massive protest outside the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Westwood. Geoffrey was called the n-word at least twice.
It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks. YOU NIGGER, one man shouted at men. If your people want to call me a FAGGOT, I will call you a nigger. Someone else said same thing to me on the next block near the temple…me and my friend were walking, he is also gay but Korean, and a young WeHo clone said after last night the niggers better not come to West Hollywood if they knew what was BEST for them.
Two skinheads from Tennessee plan to go on a massive killing spree — during with they shoot 88 blacks and decapitate 14 others — culminating in the assassination of Barack Obama? It sounds too scary to be true. But according to the ATF, it was a real plan that Tennessee residents Daniel Cowat, 20, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, planned to carry out. Luckily, the plan had not reached advanced stages, sources said, although the duo had cased a gun store to rob and were plotting to target black children at a local, predominately-black school.
Is that young man the preacher from There Will Be Blood? Nope, just a Sarah Palin supporter. Though the difference might only be in the clothing.
"I don't think he likes the fact that he thinks us white people are trash." That's just one of the many, many idiotic, racist and downright despicable comments made at a recent Sarah Palin rally in Ohio.
Another attendee griped, "When you've got a negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He's definitely a second-stringer." For that quote, we're going to hope the speaker said "negro" and not "nigger." The accents a bit rough. (God, we never thought we'd be praying for "negro.")
Can someone please take the camera away from Diddy? The obnoxious mouth-breather took to the Internets again last night in hopes of encouraging all the "boys and girls" to vote for Barack Obama after John McCain referred to him as "that one" during the latest debate. Does Diddy have a right to be angry about this? Sure. But the way he refers to his viewers as "boys and girls" reminds us of John McCain's usage of "my friends": Both send us into fits of blind rage.
Newly minted media darling Campbell Brown, the host of CNN's Election Center, is moving quickly to establish her "Cutting Through the Bull" brand of campaign coverage. Brown has been praised, and attacked, for calling out Obama and McCain and their surrogates for total douche moves. Last night was no different, when she addressed the issue of race baiting. (See here.)
But before you go calling Brown a partisan "journalist" who's in the tank for the Democrats, recall that she's just as comfortable calling out the Obama campaign: CONTINUED »
The off-the-cuff, eloquent mini-speech that Donna Brazile gave during a recent New Yorker-sponsored political panel — in which she testified that the color of her skin doesn't make her inferior and her gender doesn't make her dumb — could come off as a little old-fashioned. I mean, we all know that, right? But that's before you take into account the real state of things in America today — when the opposition to the first black, major-party candidate for president is inciting its supporters to threaten violence and make false accusations based entirely, if subtly, on the fact that the candidate is not white. Sadly enough, her words are very timely.
Stereohyped editor Lauren Williams: I was first introduced to Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann during the time immediately following the Sarah-Palin-For-Vice-President announcement, when she made a glassy-eyed appearance on some news network to make the ingenious argument that Palin was qualified for the VP slot because she sold a plane on eBay, a bit of folklore that was later proven to be untrue. She also referred to Palin as "one tough cookie," which is language I feel is usually reserved for men when they want to speak patronizingly about strong-willed women. I have come across Bachmann's name yet again, this time related to the bailout circus, because she has decided to join in on the distinctively-conservative narrative that "minority lending" is to blame for our current economic crisis. You know, if blacks and Latinos weren't buying houses with their minority credit, this never would have happened. No, really.
"Infamous freelance Fox News producer Jessica Herzberg who cluelessly used the phrase “Baby Mama” to chyron Michelle Obama has been thrown overboard and is out of a job with Fox." [Chickaboomber, earlier]
Here it is: the flier being distributed throughout the New Jersey suburb of Roxbury by neo-Nazi group the League of American Patriots.
White Democrats are racist! Their hate has cost Obama at least 6 percent of his votes! He's going to lose! That was the gist of an Associated Press story about a new poll that suggests 1/3 of Democrats don't like blacks too much. The AP's reporter behind the story, Ron Fournier, has, in the past, been accused all over the Internet and on MSNBC of being more or less in the can for John McCain, and the story on this study, which some have described as a racism push poll, has added flames to that fire. Now, surely there are plenty of Democrats who won't vote for Obama because they don't like blacks (or Muslims, even if he's not one) — we've been over this not-very-complicated idea more than once — but with Barack Obama ahead in the polls and the Bradley Effect basically disproven in primaries, it's not so much a lost cause as a major obstacle to overcome. And he's clearly overcoming it, at least for now. As many racists as there are out there, Barack Obama wouldn't have gotten anywhere near where he is without an extremely large number of white people voting for him.
Since our story on Wednesday about General Electric CEO Jeff Imelt's comments at a black business conference, the responses have poured in. We've been on the phone and emailing with GE's communications department (friendly); GE execs (firm); GE shareholders (furious); staffers at NBC Universal, MSNBC, NBC and Access Hollywood (in shock, but not surprise); and others who attended the Black Corporate Directors Conference earlier this month.
And here's the takeaway: A number of people are countering our story, but almost all of them were not at the conference, and they all happen to be GE employees. That, and we've also been told by other attendees that the way we depicted Immelt's comments was, in fact, accurate. So: CONTINUED »
JOSSIP REPORTS — The future of NBC, and what to do about Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews at MSNBC, may be the least of General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt's problems. Because he just dipped himself into the murky waters of race relations, and he's about to drown.
Two weeks ago at the annual Black Corporate Directors Conference in California, Immelt was one of several high-powered guests (among other corporate execs and political powerhouses) on a panel moderated by CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien (she of the Black in America specials). Official guests and attendees of the three-day conference operate under the assumption that everything is off-the-record; reporters and news crews are barred, and participants aren't supposed to share what's said there.
Except somebody did leak the conversation — and told Jossip about Immelt's thoughts on black men and women. We'll give you a hint: He only trusts them as far as he can throw them. CONTINUED »
Several attendees at the Value Voters (read: read religious right) Summit over the weekend, including CNN's Lou Dobbs, were delighted by the hillllarious Obama Waffles for sale. That is, until the mainstream media picked up on the story. Suddenly, the summit's organizers realized that the Obama Waffles were a little racist and uninvited the vendors, two enterprising fellows from Tennessee.
'A former executive of al-Jazeera English told an employment tribunal in London today that the TV network was "institutionally racist". Morgan Almeida, former director of creative with al-Jazeera English, said "suspicion of outsiders" existed in the London and Doha newsrooms of the channel and that it failed in its duty to protect staff. Almeida was giving evidence at a hearing today in central London looking into claims of sexual, race and religious discrimination made against the network by its former head of planning, Jo Burgin. "I believe that the respondent [al-Jazeera English] failed in its legal duties to protect employees from a vicious crossfire of racist behaviour between the diverse cultural and racial groups," he said. "This climate of institutional racism has gone on unchecked and has adversely affected staff," he added.' [Guardian]
Megyn Kelly is the worst kind of moron: tthe blond, perky, Republican kind. America's Newsroom is only watchable because it's fun to see all the sexual tension between Bill Hemmer and Kelly, but Hemmer needs to put a ball-gag on that woman before they're both axed for being too racist — even for Fox News.
First she started in with that baby's mamma crap with the Obamas, and today on a radio show she made these awesome comments about a fashion show the DNC speeches:
"I stand by my comments on the Michelle Obama dress…bluish-green is not the color for these women."
The woman after Megyn jumps in to clarify that she was referring to the women speaking in front of a blue wall, "And it blended in–you were right–it blended in with that background." But still, Kelly needs to watch what she says more carefully in the future, as these soundbites are all that are needed to start a media snowball and Keith Olbermann meltdown.
Well, at least she said "these women" instead of "those women," or "you people." Little known fact: It's not racism if you change a letter. Semantics are tricky that way.
