O’Reilly: Black Voters Don’t Believe In ‘Self Reliance’ Or ‘American Exceptionalism’

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Since the night of the election, Bill O'Reilly has been looking for a scapegoat on whom he can blame Mitt Romney's loss. He seems to have found one in African American, Latino, and female voters.

Before all the votes were even cast on November 6, O'Reilly came out with the theory that "The white establishment is now the minority," and that women, black, and Latino voters are "non-traditional" voters who "feel that they are entitled to things and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things?"

On his show last night, O'Reilly responded to comedian Jon Stewart's criticism that mourning "traditional voters" is latent racism. But in his rebuttal, O'Reilly explained that the mass turnout of voters of color signaled an end to "traditional American voters." The new voters, he argued, don't understand "traditional American values":

If you look at the exit polling, you'll see that a coalition of voters put the President back into the oval office.

That coalition was non-tradition, which means it veered away from things like traditional marriage, robust capitalism, and self reliance

. Instead, each constituency that voted for the President —

whether it be single women, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, whatever

— had very specific reasons for doing so. [...]

Traditional American voters generally want a smaller government in Washington, more local control, some oversight on abortion, and

believe in American exceptionalism.

O'Reilly isn't new to making racially charged comments. Just days before the election, he speculated that Sec. of State Colin Powell cut Obama "

a little more slack

" in his endorsement of him because they are both black. He's also claimed that Democrats have made black people "

dependent

" on the government.

The truth bothers you, doesn't it Steven?

Funny part being is that you don't see the painfully in your face racism of the Democratic party to keep people down. All you get mad at is the fact that someone has the balls to point it out. Too funny really.

Let the healing begin! The election is so over.

In other words, GOP voters are 'traditional Americans' and Democratic voters are not.

This is a preview into the GOP strategy going forward, as America 'browns'.

The elections are over and Obama cannot be reelected, so there is no reason for them to hide the racism upon which their dislike for the POTUS is based.

So African Americans Latinos and women voted for Romney in big numbers. I am confused ?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

This attitude. Working so well for the party you support, Bill.

[ready4ONE 5,400]

I'm white, middle class, and I didn't vote for Rmoney. Guess I am not a good American. Jeez!

I also voted against traditional marriage, but for few local County level Republicans. Perhaps voting and voters are more complex than No Spin Bill's theory?

Just not in the traditional sense.

well there you have it folks. If you don't like Obama your racist..

Not everybody who doesn't like Obama is racist.

Same way not everybody who DOES like Obama is depending on the government for handouts, just wants free stuff, and doesn't care about personal responsibility. Yet I only see Republicans get mad when THEY are the ones stereotyped incorrectly.

did anybody else notice, the only people bring race into the discussion are obama supporters?

OP: your thread title is a lie.

In this thread, yes. But there have been plenty where Romney supporters/Republicans/anti-Obama people have brought it up first. There were countless articles posted about how black people/other minorities are only for Obama because of their dependence on government. And it wasn't Obama supporters posting that garbage.

Yet you never complain about those.
