No, but Leftist activists are  saying he is.

I started to write a post about the O’Reilly-Media Matters kerfuffle earlier in the week, but eventually decided that Bill is a big boy and can defend himself.  Besides, who’s really surprised that left-wing Media Matters, a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros, turned to the only play in its book, character assassination?  And is anyone really surprised that CNN, NBC News, the Washington Post, and the New York Times actually reported the Media Matters smear as a legitimate story?

I listened to the radio segment in question, and it’s very clear that Bill O’Reilly didn’t make any kind of racist remark.  My guess is that most of those people now calling him a racist haven’t even bothered to listen to what he said.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, CNN has a man on to talk about how Bill O’Reilly is a racist who proceeds to call Juan Williams a “happy Negro,” twice.

And for all the Liberals out there jumping on the Media Matters bandwagon on this, shame on you.  How quickly you have forgotten.

Let’s say I call up the Washington Times and tell them that Hillary Clinton is a drug dealer.  I have no proof other than my word.  The Times, in turn, calls Hillary who denies the charges.  The Washington Times publishes a he said, she said story.  Is that legitimate?  No, and the Left would be plenty upset by it, and rightly so.

Using race as political cudgel harms both the person being defamed and real victims of racism.
