Thanks -- this on Bill O'Reilly -- -- -- did you Bernie segment tonight we featuring a talking points memo former ABC news correspondent.
Sam Donaldson saying that some on a political writer criticizing Barack Obama because he's a black man.
Also CNN anchor Don lemon echoed that yesterday on the air.
-- -- North Carolina announces a purveyor Bernard Goldberg dot com -- -- -- over.
Before we get to Gaza is -- say that Roger Clemens was acquitted today and and we're gonna -- bring about that because he does a sports program for HBO.
After we get through with this.
Fertility you know Sam Donaldson you know him.
I met him a couple of times early in my career when I was a local reporter in Miami he was very gracious very nice but I but I guess.
I know him the way your audience -- and bill I know him from watching him on TV for a number of years and in that sense I think I -- pretty well.
All right so it's no surprise that he's a liberal man he's always been that way right always going after the conservative presidents like.
-- in -- harder than he would go after.
A Bill Clinton okay.
So we established that this is not the first time Donaldson has made an accusation -- general accusation.
That if you criticize Barack Obama for immigration whatever you criticize him for this because he's black -- I say this this is what I said my radio commentary today.
Number one and this is unseemly.
Because Donaldson can't back it up.
MI a racist because I criticized Barack Obama because it may be unconstitutional what he did last Friday in my a racist because of that you see.
Donaldson is this is cheap.
And that's what angers me about it.
Right listen we've heard this approximately.
22 million times from.
Liberals inside and outside of the media if you disagree with.
Barack Obama must be because you're races -- -- possibly be because you disagree with him.
On Obama care or the -- -- -- -- where are you -- from where does that -- fraud.
I'm gonna tell you right now it comes from liberals like Sam Donaldson.
Looking at things through this racial prism because of this is the important part.
Because it makes them feel better about themselves.
Because then they could say.
You see I'm one of the good white people I'm not like those right wing bigots but if Sam is listening tonight and he may very well -- You know -- a Smart guy to ask in this.
Do you really think Sam do you really think that those people you call right wing bigots racists.
-- really think they'd be racist toward a black man a conservative black man who was president of the United States.
I think they'd love him.
I think they'd love them.
And I think if you think about it for a second Sam.
You might agree with that that it's clearly his liberal politics.
That these conservatives don't like not the color of the schedule up.
But what I don't understand is this is Sam Donaldson and why does Tim -- have to feel better about himself does he feel guilty Fabian left wing guy out -- -- you know you're left wing guy that's fine.
Why do you I don't feel guilty about anything that's.
That's a good question this at a brilliant scholar out on the West Coast at the Hoover institution and Shelby Steele.
And Shelby Steele writes about this in talks about this and he calls a good racial matters.
It's a -- white people some white people.
Take care of their of their guilt because they feel guilty that look -- I am and maybe I wouldn't be here if I were black.
So so they go out of their way to show and this is Shelby steele's phrase they're good racial matters I Jim Dodson is doing exactly that.
I never had one day in my life for -- felt guilty about my success because there were African Americans walking around this country I mean I it was no linkage at all.
But that does it -- -- I believed you.
Neither of us.
But that doesn't mean that there aren't white liberals out there who feel just yeah.
-- there -- they would this is the institutional linkage at all if if there -- -- poor white person or black person or.
Indian whenever I'll try to help home town but it doesn't have anything to do with my career or my lifestyle -- -- -- -- let me let me got this -- This guy from the daily caller the conservative website -- and erupts Barack Obama.
And I say it's a pew -- attention getting play for this guy.
All right he wants attention.
The daily -- wants attention.
But again it's a racist thing.
He wouldn't do it to.
Yeah whatever group -- conservative conference -- -- don't you people understanding wants attention.
That's why he did.
Okay this and I would say that this reporter for the daily caller in a word is a jerk jerk totally -- professional.
I think -- what's worse than what he did even is a Smart guy like his boss Tucker Carlson.
Saying -- -- -- do anything wrong he gave the guy gold star when I would've fired that reporter before he got back to the why would you have fired.
Because it's totally unprofessional to interrupt the president of the united -- in the middle of his remarks it's.
Supposedly.
To ask a question but it was it was one of those questions that he really wanted to get into.
A debate with the president look do you remember not that long ago few years back.
That Iraqi journalist threw a -- -- -- -- a -- President Bush.
And and more than a few liberals left their heads up over it never mind that George Bush.
Was the president of the United States of America a nation within our resident -- get.
And now and now -- bill.
We have conservatives.
Now -- conservatives.
Not many not -- absolutely right but we have some conservatives.
Who are defending this guy you think broader bombing shows no respect to us why should we show respect I and I have a letter I'm gonna read along that line -- we've been very few.
Real quick -- got to get the Clemens.
Okay but.
There is no reason.
-- I think he's a jerk but I have no reason to believe he's a racist but what are what we're gonna it was Sam that Sam Donaldson has no way of knowing.
If he's a racist or not either okay.
A real quick Roger Clemens equated you surprised.
No I I think there -- 22 quick reasons I'll give you one.
Clemens teammate former teammate Andy -- A pitcher on the Yankees out at one point said that Clemens told them he took human growth hormone.
Then -- cross examination said I may have gotten that wrong I think I'm 5050 or so that could present reasonable doubt but I think the bigger reason is.
Too many jurors watched CSI Miami.
I mean testimony means nothing to these people.
They want they want fingerprints they want blood samples they want microscopes.
And that's why a lot of people who.
I think some of us would say -- are clearly guilty are gonna get off and have been getting off because jurors.
Jurors watch too much -- and then beyond a reasonable doubt in this case all right we're gonna have more is illegal is investigating the verdict in -- we'll have that -- and.
