Florida Law Professor Confronts O’Reilly Over Racism
By: Steve – September 25, 2009 – 10:30amDr. Jeremy Levitt, a law professor at Florida University, confronted Bill O’Reilly last night over Fox News role in fomenting racial tensions regarding President Obama. Specifically Dr. Levitt cited Glenn Beck and the network’s role in encouraging the 9/12 protests, which featured an assortment of racist signs.
O’Reilly dismissed the racist right-wing attacks on Obama as part of a fringe group, insisting that an equivalent group exists on the left. He also stated that 10 percent of the nation is racist. Dr. Levitt would not let up, however, telling O’Reilly that “Fox News and the far right have a race deck, and they play the ace of spades every day.”
The 10 percent number from O’Reilly is just made up, and he made it up, a FOX poll showed that 20% admitted to being racist towards Obama, but O’Reilly said he dont believe that, then made up the 10 percent number as what he believes it really is. Earth to O’Reilly, even at 10% that’s 30 million people.
Not to mention, in the past O’Reilly has denied there is any racism against Obama at the protests, when Professor Levitt showed there was. O’Reilly admits it is 10 percent, when the polls show it’s 20 percent, and that number is most likely higher because a lot of people will not admit to being racist, even in polls.
