When you put a noose on the cover of a magazine to describe the furor of a TV anchor calling on (in jest) a sports star to be lynched, it's a fireable offense. But when Bill O'Reilly uses a lynching analogy, he's actually defending somebody who's black, so he gets a free pass!
On Tuesday's Factor, O'Reilly responded to Michelle Obama's comments at at rally Monday about how "For the first time in my adult lifetime I'm really proud of my country," saying: "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels."
Bill O'Reilly, editing himself? It is a new day.
Unfortunately, he's also stumbled into the murky waters of no-no words, at least those defined by watchdogs like Media Matters.
But his executive producer David Tabacoff sees it differently: "What Bill said was an obvious repudiation of anyone attacking Michelle Obama. As he has said more than ten times, he is giving her the benefit of the doubt."

She is nasty yet nobody will take her on. You can bet there will be no criticism of her because everybody is afraid of the race card. If Obama wins the nomination then color shouldn't be a factor and he and she should have to walk a straight line and be questioned/criticized like every other public servant. If he or she got half the beatings Hillary did they would have faded away by now. Bill Clinton was all but banished from the spotlight when he tried to speak up, nobody told this bitch to back off and she came out swinging against Hillary more than once.
