Read moreBill O'Reilly Dismisses 'Passive-Aggressive' Accusation That He's A Racist
While Bill O'Reilly advises his audience, via his "Tip of the Day," to "ignore guttersnipes," it's clear that he can't follow his own advice. When anybody gets under O'Reilly's pale, blotchy, and thin skin, he takes it quite personally and subsequently throws himself a pity party on national TV.

But according to Bill, the compliment betrayed a "destructive" ulterior motive and was proof of a personality disorder. Talk about grievance hustling.

Read moreMemo To Eric Bolling: Burning Cross Proves Racism Alive And Well In USA
Back in January, Fox wall of genius Eric Bolling posed this question: "Where is the… Is there racism? I don’t think there’s racism. I think the only people perpetuating racism are people like this gentleman from NAACP, are the Al Sharptons of the world. Let’s move on. Let’s move on." Looks like Bolling, whose record on racial sensitivity is not exactly stellar, has been proven wrong about that! But then maybe Bolling thinks that a burning cross is just another way of being neighborly!
