It is a major scandal that threatens to derail Barack Obama's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, but the mainstream media is treating it as a minor political scuffle, says Fox's Bill O'Reilly.

I'm glad O'Reilly's opinion is news now.

Wasn't O'Rilley quoted as once telling blacks to accept their lot in life and "get over it"? Are you an O'Rilley fan John?

I respect O'Reilly's opinions as much as I respect the opinions of that other buffoon of a talking head Limbaugh. Forgive me if I take everything he says with a grain of salt....

Did Dan Rather and his network have entire websites and books devoted to his newscast's spin and inaccuracies?

There is definitely spin on both sides--but I think Mr. O'Reilly is in a class all by himself.

Well they need to bury this issue because a preacher saying offensive things has nothing to do with Obama or his campaign for president.

Of course it has something to do with Obama and his campaign. It exposes who he chooses to associate with (for over 20 years). It shows lack of good judgement. An important issue when it comes to selecting a commander and chief.

Then what about Hillary associating with Geraldine Ferraro all those years and accepting her support, until she dumped her of course when it affected her politically.

Or Hillary choosing a man who would do nothing but cheat on her for over 20 years, Hillary can't choose a faithful husband much less run a country.
