Dr. Jeremy Levitt, a law professor at Florida A&M University, confronted Bill O'Reilly tonight 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.

The Professor handled himself well... O'Reilly in his usual denial mode.

Saw it. it was a good exchange. Bill pointed out that Beck and others dont dislike black people, they dislike the "apparatus of big government".

That is a very accurate statement.


by the way Hanity had a black lady on who spoke at the 9/12 rally. So much for racial hatred in the 9/12 crowd.

Dr. Levitt is a regular guest on OReily for debate and OReily always treats him fairly and sometimes even sides with him, which I find amazing sine Levitt is such a whack job. Stop fretting yourself with Fox news Dukester, and drink your PMSNBC, ABC (All Barack Channel), NBC (Nothing But Communists), CBS (Clearly BS) and whatever other statist media KoolAid outlets are out there. Just change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch Fox.

Given the fact that 'big government' is mostly non-minority, how can anyone possibly conceive of the protest of such as racism?

That law prof wins a Red Herring award.

Perfection!

I watched this exchange as well, and only HuffPo could misconstrue it so badly.

In deed. Bill agreed with the professor last night that Obama isn't a socialist.

I dont agree with Bill about that but no one can say that Bill is unfair.... to either side.

Typical. Disagree with their indoctrinators on their favorite 'tell me what to think' network and your a 'whack job'. Hilarious.

1. Scruffy Town Post - Should have known

2. Give me a break..that 2 bit "professor" did nothing to advance his argument, could not point to any evidence that those of us who were actually there in Washington are racists..except for a couple of signs..big deal..and most of them are calling Obama a socialist and communist..which he is and that has been proven over and over again with his own words and video..so this guy was nothing but an empty suit....I am surprised Bill didn't ream him a new one...but he was trying to be nice...
