It should be prime fuel, but there are large portions of America which are unabashedly racist, and those are the parts of America that FOXNews caters to. I seriously doubt that this will hurt him in any way. Of course, I would love to be proven wrong by seeing him get his ass turfed out of national TV, but I just don't see it happening.

Why couldn't O'Reilly lob this clay pidgeon when Stephen Colbert was not on vacation?
Actually. Colbert is taking a week off to release his new book.

For what? Anyone with half a brain realized years ago that Bill O'Rielly is a racist piece of shit. He's ranted about this for literally years, in language every bit as blatant. You should have heard any of the number of times he riffed on immigration with Pat Buchanan, with those you could practically smell the cross burning.

Most people by now have gotten the message that John McCain has sold his soul to the reactionary elements of the American political scene. Whether he actually holds these views or he's just wooing them for primary elections, McCain has said and done plenty to cater to them. This is the same kind of racist, misogynist, and religiously intolerant viewpoint that has been the bread and butter of the like of Falwell. And McCain has cozied up to their ilk plenty already.

It would be damning. But the fact is that both are pretty much damned already. Anyone that's going to care already realizes the truth about these two. So to a certain extent it's just pointing out the fact that water is wet.

Regrettably the US is in the position where it does actually have to care about what Joe Retard thinks. Nothing is going to change when people with the required half brain hear people talking about the rich white power structure and then just roll their eyes silently.

It may be like pointing out water is wet but if this is something your average moron doesn't understand (or if he does, doesn't understand why it is wrong) then someone needs to be drilling this into him. Someone needs to be jumping up and down and making it very clear that this kind of policy is just totally fucking unnaceptable.
