Bill O'Reilly's "lynching party against Michelle Obama" - he's holding off for now.
http://mediamatters.org/items/200802200001

O'Reilly: "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels"

Summary: In a discussion of recent comments made by Michelle Obama, Bill O'Reilly took a call from a listener who stated that, according to "a friend who had knowledge of her," Obama " 'is a very angry,' her word was 'militant woman.' " O'Reilly later stated: "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down."

3. He says this shit to rile people up. He's batshit crazy and gets
off on the controversy and the trouble he causes.

He's an attention starved thug.

4. "Lynching party"?!
What, he couldn't have said "vendetta" or something a bit less, you know, racially charged? 'Specially now that he's seen people eating at Sylvia's with knives 'n' forks 'n' stuff. :sarcasm:

5. Yeah, he could have picked a better word than lynching.
But he does like to push buttons, and what better way to do so than use racially charged language?
