‘Purveyors of White Privilege’: Bill O’Reilly Reveals the Outlook He Thinks Drives Obama

Jan. 22, 2013 11:52am Billy Hallowell

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly gained some criticism for a controversial segment on “The O’Reilly Factor” last night, during which he posed a theory about President Barack Obama and his treatment of the GOP. The popular commentator charged that the nation’s leader doesn’t like Republicans, because he sees them as “purveyors of white privilege.” The comment was made during an interview with The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward. Earlier in the show, the host also took aim at Obama’s push for “social justice” in his inaugural address.

“It’s pretty clear that [Obama] doesn’t like them because he doesn’t feel — he feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege,” O’Reilly said. “He’s never going to say that, but that’s the theme that runs through his advisers: The white privilege has to be broken down.”

Woodward didn’t agree with this assessment, as the famed journalist contended that Obama’s treatment of Republicans has little to do with race and everything to do with ideological contention. He dismissed the president’s treatment of the GOP as being rooted in “a broader disagreement with the Republican agenda.” Despite Woodward’s disagreement with the sentiment, O’Reilly doubled down.

“The Republican agenda, in his mind, the president’s mind, props up white privilege,” O’Reilly continued, defending his original position.”Therefore, as the social justice champion, he has to tear that down. He doesn’t like the white privilege thing and he doesn’t like the Republicans trying to defend it. And that’s the seed.”

Watch the segment, below:

O’Reilly, in a separate segment, condemned the president’s inaugural address for taking a “social justice” tone. See his comments here:

the people own this country obama is just another guy that we put in to keep us safe from the enemy and to uphold the constitution . he decided that we are irrelevant now and he has betrayed us and we are his enemy now. we the people still have the power we make this country we are the powerful and the greatness not the president that changes over and over again. he is temporarily the man that gets to play like a god while he is in. when he is out he is no longer the god he ordered the people to treat him as. he is a nothing when Americans decide to take back what is theirs and what they can’t give away in the first place to a man or women then he will learn his mistake and not put the president on a throne. the people are the rulers and the kings and queens here . i give no man power over my life or let any title be above me. i don’t let any one be of any greater than me or my family as i am irreplaceable i am not a servant or less than a title man has deemed himself that he may look down on me or step on me . I am not the servant to a cult I don’t serve or live under any man or any title . I vote for a person to protect and serve the constitution. America doesn’t serve kings nor queens nor anyone but them self and their God. I reject mans games he plays. I pity those who serve a president and who excepts what is cool or hip at the time. sheeples is what Americans have become they have done it to them self they will pay dearly the price is high very high http://www.godandspir

I can shorten this up so everybody can understand it. Obama is a very bigoted racist and as such sees and does everything in black and white only. There, just summed up the entire story.

By the 60s the melting pot created a 89% white majority! They open our borders and now 75% of the population qualifies for minority status, game over!

With the rapidly changing demographics of the old melting pot, its time to quadruple down on affirmative action style programs so we can peacefully transfer the new majority into positions of power. If we don’t, and we find ourselves in a situation where white males are 10% of the population but have 60% or even 35% of the jobs, then a bloody transfer of power will be necessary-lol

As long as white males control the FED, Wall St. and the media, we as the old majority will never receive minority status because the wealth will still be in the hands of this tiny, perceived to be white male power structure.

This playbook is going to bring Europeans, whether in their historical homelands or in America to their knees; start $ucking! They have the numbers.

This stopped being about R vs D a long time ago. We are now into pure socialism and nationalism.

Government will use taxpayer dollars to support an agenda and destroy any institutions that stand in the way.

If you get stuck in the white / black argument you miss the point.

Black is beautiful.
Tan is grand.
White is the color of the big boss man.

Obama wishes that he were white.

Obama likes the progressive agenda as long as he and his family can live the white privileged. He is building the progressive poor while lining his pockets with the privileged wealthy. He ain’t no Martin Luther King. Its a travesty to think it.

O’Reilly really needs to get out. He might considering reading Dinesh D’Souza’s book on Obama, or see his film 2016 which would give him more information on our Glorious Leader than he could likely stand.

Kudos to O’Reilly! He honestly summarized what Obama and his administration is all about and it is past the time spineless Republicans step up and do the same. If Roger Ailes forces O’Reilly to apologize for telling the truth the network is then no better than all the others.

ALL minorities have NEVER had Freedom. US Southern Border is proof BUT the same people who are coming….illegally…are the same people who have never had a US President who SHOULD stand for TRUE Freedom. They not only bring their bodys across the Border but also thier MINDS…which have elected corrupt politicians, dictators and socialists.

US Blacks….who claim to never have Freedom in the US….NEVER HAVE! Including before they were put on ships and sold as Slaves to US Profiteers. They WERE SLAVES before they came here and sold by Blacks in Africa which will NEVER be taught by the Dept of Education.

So, in a sense…..THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN FREE and the stupid are much easier to manipulate/brainwash in an Election Cycle, on Internet, in Mainstream News, on Television.

They DIDNT vote for a US President….They voted for a King!

It is fact. That is what it is thru and thru.

A coalition of Liberal Jewish run Blacks and Hispanics who HATE the White Christian American. They are Bolsheviks.

Bottom line. Period.

So, the jealous little twerp would rather ruin ‘success privilege’ rather than use it as a role model for all to copy! Now, THAT’s THINKING WITH THE ‘LITTLE HEAD’! What a maroon!

Barack Insane Obama is THE greatest threat to individual liberty of our lifetimes! He is a Marxist ideologue who is hellbent on using a government gun to bring all into subjection, even though it will destroy us economically, morally, and even militarily. His collective salvation is coercive, not caring!

Calamity is certainty! Plan and prepare accordingly!

I agree with O’Riley. The white man, reminds obama of what America was founded on, God, Morals, Unity, Freedom, and those are things that the 1/2 WHITE obama hates, because his 1/2 BLACK part is racist.

MLK talked about justice for all, and healing the nation, not hate but hope, and liberty for all. Today the people who have taken over the leadership of many black leadership groups speak of “social justice” which when you look at the contents seems awfully like code for revenge and socialism/communism. The tables have turned, but where is our MLK to stand up to institutionalized injustice… and insist that all Americans should be treated equally, judged by the content of their characters rather than the color of their skin?

They’ve been calling us racist for over 4 years. I think its about time we call a, um, gardening tool a gardening tool. Its obvious both Obamas and Vallerie Jarrett are racist. What is it that Obama said in his book (dreams of my father), I wish I could rip the white off me like a scab. Calling everyone else racist is an alinsky tactic that hides the fact he is the real racist. Go Bill, I may have to watch you again.

There is a black priviledge now-a-days. You have to be far left-winged to take advantage of it. Or you have to do like Colin Powell and either move over to the left or show was your true color (pun intended) all the time. You can even get black priviledge is you are white, when once you learn to Shuck and Jive Mr. Powell. What I find fascinating is the literally hatred that their is among the world population for the WHITE MAN. I don’t think most caucasians have a real clue of what it is all about. I have written an article explaining this attitude. I bet most have never understood how I come to my final conclusion. Check it out at the link below, if interested.

Perhaps this is affirmative action gone full circle. The liberal press don’t expect as much from Obama because he is black – therefore the expectations are lowered. If he was white, they would be much more demanding of results? See the racism here?

I think that the Fox News Network put restrictions on what O’Reilly can say….I think that he knows the truth but management will only let him go so far….that’s why they couldn’t deal with Beck.

  LYNN: Do not forget that Murdoch has been embroiled with a very nasty Labour Party ? Left lawsuit in London since July, 2011 over tabloid phone hacking This has been the Penultimate Trial By Media carried locally by the Lefty NYT. The Left is dying to close down conservative media and they are extremely powerful. Witness the Adoring and totally enabling Obama MSM over here. This is real warfare carried on by the international Left media.

I’m not crazy about O’Reilly and only watch him occasionally, but I like how he often points out how Obama and the Dems are working to destroy the White Christian culture that made America great and replace it with rule by Blacks and Browns.

Punish the producers and everyone suffers.

If Obama cares so much, why is unemployment so high among blacks?

If Obama’s agenda is driven by a hatred of the “purveyors of white privilege”, he is blinded by what his policies are doing to the African-American community, where unemployment is high, 52% of black babies are aborted, and inner city violence rolls on.

Please, will someone report on the rich white guys surounding Obama that are getting richer.

Bill’s theory of “purveyors of white privilege”does’nt wash. Has he taken a good look at the people he surrounds himself with, or the guy who wrote the communist manifesto he embraces? If anything, he’s far more in love with himself than in either of his own races.

“[Obama] feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege,” Interesting racial perspective, but one that misses the possible reality: The Republicans are controlled by purveyors of a doctrine which is designed to impose “The Most Harm To The Most People.”

Look at the effects of their logic. Abortion is a good example — at the extreme, no abortion for any reason; the logic being to save a fetal life, even if it means killing the mother under conditions which will also result in fetal death. That is, Kill a real person — someone holding a birthright as defined in the Biblical texts — and a lump of genetic matter which could never become a person, rather than save the real person by destroying the lump while there is still time. We can look at the budget — unlimited spending on WMD’s but nothing for education and medical care. Which brings us back to abortion — mandate the creation of a child because a contraceptive product failed (a rubber broke) … then belittle the mother, and deny assistance for the child that they mandated be created (qualify for that Biblical birthright). They wave the Bible — and proclaim the very teachings which demand care be givien, then deny that care … the term is Hypocrisy … and all those who subscribe to its practice are, by the same teachings, denied salvation … thus, in the long term, achieving the ultimate level of “The Most Harm To The Most People.” It is those Hypocrites, purveyors of “The Most Harm” Obama
