O'Reilly made the case for white supremacism, arguing, "this is all about race. The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with."

"Very few commentators will tell you that the heart of liberalism in America today is based on race. It permeates almost every issue. That white men have set up a system of oppression. That system must be destroyed. Bernie Sanders pedaled that to some extent Hillary Clinton did. And the liberal media tries to sell that all day long. So-called white privilege bad. Diversity good."

He concluded, "Summing up, the left wants power taken away from the white establishment. They want a profound change in the way America is run. Taking voting power away from the white precincts is the quickest way to do that."

Lawrence O'Donnell summed up opposition to the Electoral College clearly. "It is making all votes equal," to which Corn agreed. And then he nailed O'Reilly.

"When I was listening to O'Reilly do that rant tonight, I was thinking about South Africa," he said, incredulously. "Talking about protecting the white establishment?"

Corn observed, "O'Reilly and the folks at Fox News are always yelling at the left and others for putting things in racial terms. I can't think of anything more racial than saying that people are protecting or trying to attack a white establishment."

"It sounds like he was defending apartheid!," he concluded.

1. Taking voting power from white precincts is so ridiculous

Where do we see long lines and machines malfunctioning? What places have we seen the number of open voting places reduced? Early voting days reduced?

The idea is talking about white precincts is absurd. What precincts had "poll watchers"?

On edit Not to mention Gerrymandering.

2. O'Reilly is on board with

Make America White Again. He just says it in his "politically correct" manner.

3. "In America....

...we are culturally conditioned to believe, that white is 'superior', black is 'inferior', and the manifestation of that cultural conditioning is that black people are under-valued, under-estimated, and marginalized".

-Joe Madison

Of course Madison had a whole discussion on that vomitous piece of shit and his comments this morning and his embrace of Pat Buchananism. In their eyes, "white" is "universal" and anything not-white is "other" and "racial".

The interesting differences between here and South Africa is that apartheid was a system that only surfaced around 1948 after the purveyors of it watched the U.S. and its century's old system of de jure segregation, and used it as a means to establish and maintain white minority-rule by legal and literal force.

4. Worse than deplorable; despicable.

Not even subtle.

5. And they named a wing in Harvard after this ass.

6. I have a fairly extensive vocabulary...

... but I cannot think of a word or phrase that adequately describes what an obscene piece of shit Bill O'Reilly is.

"Bedtime for Ronzo" Reagan should be reviled and despised for all eternity for abolishing the Fairness Doctrine. That single act of mindless malice and staggering stupidity allowed the cancer that is Fox News to come into existence.

I've got more years behind me than I have in front of me, but I hope I live long enough to piss on O'Reilly's grave. If not, I'll come back from the dead to do it.

7. He just described this election to a T

Now don't tell me election wasn't all about race and don't tell me I have to fucking understand the angst of the white trump voter.

10. Make America Apartied Again

11. He's in denial. Just like the rest of the GOP. (Avik Roy interview)

"...the heart of liberalism in America today is based on race. It permeates almost every issue."

What bullshit.

“Goldwater’s nomination in 1964 was a historical disaster for the conservative movement because, for the ensuing decades, it identified Democrats as the party of civil rights and Republicans as the party opposed to civil rights. The fact is, today, the Republican coalition has inherited the people who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the Southern Democrats who are now Republicans.

“Conservatives and Republicans have not come to terms with that problem. Conservative intellectuals, and conservative politicians, have been in kind of a bubble. We’ve had this view that the voters were with us on conservatism - philosophical, economic conservatism. In reality, the gravitational center of the Republican Party is white nationalism. It’s a common observation on the left, but it’s an observation that a lot of us on the right genuinely believed wasn’t true - which is that conservatism has become, and has been for some time, much more about white identity politics than it has been about conservative political philosophy. ...[Trump] tapped into something that was latent in the Republican Party and conservative movement - but a lot of people in the conservative movement didn’t notice.” - Forbes magazine and Reich-wing corporate pharma shill, ultra-conservative Avik Roy, at the 2016 RNC saying he is no longer a Republican.

16. David Corn summed up my thoughts when I first read

O'Reilly's remarks on twitter. "This is South Africa? The fool is talking for apartheid!"
