Norfolk, VA Not So Thrilled With O’Reilly’s Intrusion Into “Racially Motivated” Case

For the last several days, Bill O’Reilly has been making a big deal out of a “racially motivated” beating of two white reporters for the Virginian Pilot by some black people (their race seems to be more important than determining their numbers, as far as The O’Reilly Factor’s reporting is concerned). All in a day’s work of “looking out for you,” especially if you think white victims are discriminated against by the media. But, sadly for O’Reilly, it seems Virginia doesn’t appreciate his efforts on their behalf. Not only has the local news reacted less than favorably, Virginia’s Republican Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, a frequent friendly face on Fox, more or less told O’Reilly to mind his own business during a contentious interview last night.

Last night, O’Reilly devoted several segments to this all-important story (for those dedicated to righting racial wrongs against whites). Starting with his Talking Points segment (the first video below), O’Reilly played a series of clips of Virginia news reports that hit back at him. It’s part and parcel with being a righter of social wrongs, apparently. “We knew, WE KNEW that some in Norfolk would try to hurt us for doing so,” O’Reilly announced. Just think of him as a modern-day Rosa Parks as you watch the montage of critical clips.

Fox fans might easily write this off as liberal-media bias – always out to get the fearless, truth-telling Factor – were it not for Cuccinelli. Cuccinelli sounded not so friendly as usual as he told O’Reilly last night, “Contrary to what you reported Monday, I do not have, as Attorney General of Virginia, any legal authority to step in and intervene in this case.” He also sounded not so friendly when he responded to one of O’Reilly’s challenging questions by sneering, “’Cause you have all the facts, Bill, just like Monday, when you got it wrong on Monday.”

Although he took a swipe at the Obama administration, Cuccinelli let O’Reilly know, in no uncertain terms, what he (Cuccinelli) thought of O’Reilly’s attempts to hasten prosecutions. “We gotta let this play out. You are on a news cycle. We are on the cycle of trying to build a good case against more than one person… We don’t give hints, we don’t share investigative materials… We don’t want to do ready, fire, aim… No one at this moment is in immediate danger.”

Ok, putting aside that Lorinda obviously missed the memo that “White Girl Bleed A Lot” is white supremacist propoganda disguised as an analysis of a true crime…

O’Reilly’s playing with some serious fire here. This isn’t like Tiller, where a good enough lawyer can absolve him legally- if something erupts, he’s well documented basically forcing it to happen.

This may come off as sexist, if not misogynist, but Lorinda, perhaps you need to switch tampons? Or, if you’re bleeding that much, maybe you should think about buying some maxipads as well? (On the other hand, I don’t think trolls deserve any courtesies.)

The Repbulican AG said Bill was wrong. Who is correct Lorinda? Or are you only a spammer with no thoughts of your own?

Six straight shows O’Loofah has opened with this. And you knew he was just waiting for the first bit of criticism to come his way to paint himself as the victim. His staff must have scoured the net looking for any instance of a “black on white” crime so he could justify Zimmerman. And like Truman said, while the authorities should show patience and fully investigate the Zimmerman case, O’Loofah is calling for immediate arrests and federal intervention without a full investigation, because of what the “black mob” did.

Klannity is too busy slamming the President every nite to even bother with this. Guess its up to O’Falafel to defend white people in this case.

Don’t you remember all of those Factor segments wherein Bildo castigated the Sanford, Florida police and state prosecutors for not immediately arresting and incarcerating white neighborhood vigilante Triggerfinger Zimmerman? Neither do I.

Billy is so concerned about justice for victims, yet this aging clown is mum on News Corporation’s hacking scandal. Billy had every opportunity to call Ruthless Rupy to the carpet, but he is afraid and hiding under his own desk.

NOTE TO NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

Remind the masses in Virginia about Billy’s employer Rupert Murdoch and the phone hacking scandals in the U.K. Challenge Billy to look in his own backyard and expose his boss and the News International corruption of bribing police officers and other political figures. Do this daily.

Cuccinelli passed up one opportunity here. O’Reilly tried to play the card that the two journalists’ lives are in danger as there were threats made after the attack. Cuccinelli could have made the case that by making this such a public discussion and by publicizing the names of the journalists and putting their photos on the Factor every night, O’Reilly has generated this part of the problem.

The two journalists told their editor that they didn’t want a story done on this. Easy to understand why – it’s embarassing, indeed humiliating to have that kind of thing spread around. And it invites the crazies to respond.

If anyone here is adding to the problem, it’s O’Reilly.

Apparently, Virginia doesn't appreciate Bill O'Reilly's efforts to be the Rosa Parks for white crime victims.
