EUGENE ROBINSON VS. BILL O'REILLY: Columnist angered over Fox News host's 'lynch' remark regarding Michelle Obama.
*Columnist Eugene Robinson is upset with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly for using the word "lynching" in reference to Michelle Obama and her recent comments that were viewed by some conservatives as unpatriotic.
Campaigning earlier this month in Milwaukee, Mrs. Obama stated: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
O'Reilly responded on his radio show last week: "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."
During an appearance Wednesday on MSNBC's "Countdown" show hosted by Keith Olbermann, Robinson said of O'Reilly's words: "There's certainly nothing at all funny or remotely appropriate about the use of a lynching reference to talk about Michelle Obama. ... It's -- I'm almost speechless."
He later added: "You know, by tomorrow morning, some defender will come out and say, 'I know Bill O'Reilly and he's no racist.' [But] all you can go by is his words and his actions. And he keeps saying these things that sound pretty darn racist to me."
