    So now cracking a joke about someone's hair is racist and the penalty is getting fired for it. How many jokes have we heard about Trump's hair, hands and skin tone? Has anyone called for the fine damsels on The View to be fired for their comments regarding Trump's appearance?

    When libs attack the right with vile and disgusting comments they justify it by saying it was a joke or their free speech right. But when the right does it and then apologizes......

    BTW, if it's racist for white people to have dreadlocks, then what is it when blacks have straight hair?

    Of course the source didn't include a photo of James Brown that showed he kind of had a point....

    Congrats ... O'Reilly.The ever persistent California assklown
    needs to be mocked.She spent the last year mocking Trump and
    his base.What goes around ... comes around.
    His analysis about her hair was comic and true to form.
    She HAS James Brown hair.
    I know her game.She is desperately trying to inspire Folk hatred.
    She is attempting to Boogeyman Trump and his supporters.
    It's like a version of Voodoo.Blacks buy into that like the way they
    persist in wasting their disposable income playing Lotto or Powerfull.
    You introduce a new and powerful drug on the street.If Blacks tend
    to like ... then word spreads around like wildfire.Before you know it
    half of black neighborhoods are addicted to that new drug.
    Like Crack cocaine.Blacks are THE Most impressionable group
    in America.Maxine Waters is trying to capitalize on that vulnerability.
    Or weakness of character.It takes character to resist the monkeyshines
    of a Maxine Waters.

    No, but I find it funny your on a forum to discuss politics yet you want to shut down O'Reilly. Weird to me . O'Reilly certainly doesn't report fake news, he leans a little right. But he uses confirmed sources.

    During the last few days you've gone off the rails. Do you still believe a video got our embassy attacked? Did you keep your plan, Doctor and save $2500? Have you donated to the Clinton Foundation now that she has nothing to sell?

    O Reilly should be fired for insulting the great JB.

    Maxine Waters is a scumbag.

    And this is just the beginning!
    99 times Bill O’Reilly lied to America
    1. O’Reilly bragged repeatedly he won two Peabody Awards hosting Inside Edition in the 90s. He won zero.

    2. O’Reilly bragged that, woops, he actually had won a Polk Award hosting Inside Edition. He won zero of those, too. To be specific, the show did win that award—a year after O’Reilly stopped hosting.

    3. O’Reilly then said he never claimed to have won a Peabody Award. He actually did make that claim, repeatedly, using the award as proof that Inside Edition was not a tabloid show but very good journalism. He later admitted to making the original Peabody claim, but now he just says the Peabody guys are unfair liberals.

    4. Repeatedly claiming he’s “an average guy,” O’Reilly has claimed that he “came from nothing” and “you don’t come from any lower than I came from on the economic scale.” Actually, O’Reilly’s mother has repeatedly talked to the press about regular vacations the family took to Florida, that O’Reilly went to private school and college, and that they lived in an affluent New York suburb.

    5. In 2006, O’Reilly boasted that he gets 6 million viewers every night. He got 2 million then. Today, he’s posting “huge numbers” because he’s addressing the Argentina controversy—so he’s getting about 3 million viewers on a night.

    6. Responding to critics who say Fox News is too conservative, O’Reilly has long claimed to be a “normal guy” and a registered independent. It turned out, contradicting that claim, that he was a registered Republican.

    7. He insisted that he is really an Independent and that when he registered to vote in 1994, there was no independent option and that he was “somehow assigned Republican status.” In 2004, comedian (now a senator) Al Franken went back and looked at O’Reilly’s voter registration form. Actually, there was an Independent option right next to the Republican box. O’Reilly had chosen Republican and then lied about it for the next decade on television.

    8. NPR’s Mike Pesca reported O’Reilly’s political registration in 2001 on the radio. O’Reilly called it a “hatchet job” and said, “I’ve never heard of Mike Pesca.” Pesca had interviewed O’Reilly on tape for an hour for the report.

    9. In 2004, O’Reilly said Iraq was producing chemical weapons in the run up to the 2003 Iraq war. They were not.

    10. O’Reilly said Al Qaeda was working with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq even after the claims were widely disproven. They were not.

    11. Early in the Iraq war, O’Reilly started a boycott of French goods in protest of the lack of French support for the war. In April 2004, O’Reilly said “they’ve lost billions of dollars in France according to the Paris Business Review.” Such a publication doesn’t exist, first of all, and trade between the U.S. and France actually increased in the time between the war’s beginning and that statement. O’Reilly continued to brag about that “successful” boycott for years afterwards.

    12. In an attempt to explain European opposition to the Iraq war, he said European media—the U.K., in particular—consists of state-controlled organizations led by liberal governments that deliver anti-American “propaganda.” In the U.K., meanwhile, the BBC was struck hard by controversy because they published reports embellishing the threat Iraq posed that misleadingly promoted the war—the same errant tale championed by the Bush administration. The chairman resigned.

    Your ratio of useful to useless posts has really gone downhill lately.

    Perfect example of playing the man and not the ball.

    I don't think this sort of gutter journalist, whether racist or not, is not something the right would be proud of; in fact, right wing people should enraged by this and demanding a better quality of journalism out of their commenters.

    O'Reilly has a good point. His remark was funny, so what. But today it's not PC to criticize or poke fun at a black person. Waters is all over the TV criticizing Trump. When white people criticized Obama they were called racist. Let's see, now we have a black woman criticizing a white man!!! I would like to see Trump come back at Waters by calling her racist.

    Which is exactly why Fox is more likely to extend his contract.

    And who the hell is Media Matters that they think they have the power to demand this?

    They are little more than an extreme radical left wing megaphone for the radical left democrats.

    That hair is attached to a head full of air. At least she has bigger balls than Obama.

    James is better looking. Maybe she should go to Al Sharpton's hair dresser.

    Remember when the election results were being certified, and Maxine Waters was complaining about them??? Joe Biden told her to shut up. Good to know old white men still have control of black women.

    Goes to show, lib's have no sense of humor when they're the brunt of the joke. But whatever....O'Reilly isn't going anywhere & M. Waters, IMO, is the poster child of a mentally dysfunctional member of Congress.

    This Is Why #BlackWomenAtWork Has Gone Viral



    Marquita Harris

    Refinery29March 28, 2017

    On Tuesday, many watched while Fox News’ Bill O'Reilly made ugly remarks about U.S. Representative Maxine Waters. During a segment on Fox & Friends, a clip of Waters giving an impassioned speech addressing Trump voters was shown. Instead of O'Reilly assuming his role as an anchor, and providing a sound rebuttal concerning Waters’ speech, he instead made comments about her hair.


    “I didn't hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig," he said. Then, to further dispel the notion that maybe what audiences just heard was a mistake, he continued by asking the producers to pull up an image of James Brown.


    Soon after, White House press secretary Sean Spicer lost his cool during a press meeting after reporter April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks, asked him questions about Russia. She disagreed with responses. He then rudely responded to her while asking she NOT to shake her head at him.



    After an onslaught of anger and criticism on Twitter towards both instances, a hashtag was born.


    “Today, we were told a Black woman's hair matters more than her voice, and our choices are under the control of others, tweeted educator and activist Brittany Packnett. “This happens to black women everyday at work. Share your Maxine and April moments, so people don't think this is rare. Use #BlackWomenAtWork,” she continued.



    The hashtag was soon the number one trending topic on Twitter as Black women shared stories affirming what Packnett stated.


    Packnett then sent out a series of tweets about her own personal Spicer and O'Reilly moments. “Every black woman meets at least 3 @oreillyfactor's and 5 @seanspicer's a day...,” she said. “When I started #BlackWomenAtWork today I sadly knew it would trend. Not because I'm special. Because I know how we get treated.”


    Soon after Waters herself tweeted a message using the hashtag. “I am a strong black woman. I cannot be intimidated, and I'm not going anywhere. #BlackWomenAtWork.”




    In a speech at the Professional BusinessWomen of California conference in San Francisco, Calif. on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton addressed the "everyday sexism" women like Ryan and Waters face.


    “Just look at all that’s happened in the last few days to women who were simply doing their job,” she said. “April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House press room when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question. One of your own California congresswomen, Maxine Waters, was taunted with a racist joke about her hair.”

    The former Secretary of State continued, “Now too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride. But why should we have to? And any woman who thinks this couldn’t be directed at her is living in a dream world.” She added, “It’s not like I didn’t know all the nasty things they were saying about me.”
