"Actually, it isn't. Some of it is very witty and thoughtful"

Yeah, O'Reilly's just making up all that stuff about "Bitches" and "Whores" and cop killing.

"This really reminds me of the Barbara Bush comment about the blacks relocated to Houston after Katrina when she said, looking out over the people with their temporary cots and k-rations "they are actually quite lucky. Most of them have never had it so good" or words to that effect. It's the kind of racism that is of the purest form, because the speaker really believes it, has no hostile intentions, can't imagine anyone objecting, and means it in the nicest way."

There may be some of that. Not much any more, but some. But it's not nearly so insidious or harmful as the hangers-on from the 60s who don't see the inherent racism in their assumption that Blacks are so inherently inferior that they -- alone from all other races -- are in need of white (government) assistance to survive.
