Bill O'Reilly Falsely Claimed MLK Event Had Barred Republicans!



And like always he got it wrong. But since Loserville is the channel that promotes the talking points of conservative agitators, it's not going sway anyone's mindset.

According to his own statements The March On Washington event excluded black Republicans and conservatives. Bill-O said that “All the speakers were Democrats. That was a glaring error and does not indicate a desire for inclusion.”

Many of the speeches were uplifting and respecting to America, but not all, according to the Factor host. Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said this: “Somewhere along the way, white sheets were traded for buttoned down white shirts. Attack dogs and water hoses were traded for Tasers and widespread implementation of stop and frisk policies. Nooses were traded for handcuffs.”

Bill-O says this is “grievance mongering” and slap to the heroes of civil rights.

Bill-O says that President Barack Obama advocates "illusiveness" of achieving the American dream.

“Whose fault is that? The reason working Americans are having such a hard time is twofold. First, Mr. Obama’s attempt to manage the economy from Washington – that has largely failed. The private sector must drive economic expansion, not the Feds.” says the conservative agitator.
We're busy! Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). He and Congressman Eric Cantor (R-Virginia, House Majority Leader) were invited but declined. 
 “Even if jobs become more plentiful, you have to be able to do them, you have to speak proper English, be able to do basic math and conduct yourself responsibly. Millions of Americans have not mastered the basics of the marketplace.”

Bill-O didn't listen to the speech. He figured that the president is "boring" and too much like a "professor".

Code words for "uppity!"

“[…] If we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that during the course of 50 years, there were times when some of us, claiming to push for change, lost our way. […] Legitimate grievances against police brutality tipped into excuse-making for criminal behavior.” - President Barack Obama.

Bill-O would say, “And what had once been a call for equality of opportunity, the chance for all Americans to work hard and get ahead was too often framed as a mere desire for government support, as if we had no agency in our own liberation, as if poverty was an excuse for not raising your child and the bigotry of others was reason to give up on yourself. All of that history is how progress stalled.”

He called it an important and accurate statement, but also charged that the president and civil rights leaders want the government to provide for those who fail, even if it’s their own fault.

“The left wants paternalism, cradle-to-grave protections. And if you oppose that philosophy, there’s something wrong with you, and in some cases, they’ll accuse you of bigotry.”

As far as it goes, conservatives believe that the event was another attempt to play upon "racial grievance".

It's an event that worships President Barack Obama. After all they were flying around a flag with his image.

Besides Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter's mentors were once the segregationists who voted against civil rights anyways.

The Republicans were responsible for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was those Dixiecrats who stood in the way of passing civil rights.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican, don't you know!



But as the White conservatives and conservative agitators of color repeat these false talking points over and over, their allies in the Republican Party have passed restrictive voter identification laws. The conservative wing of the Supreme Court struck down a portion of the Voting Rights Act. It makes it possible for state legislators to create voting precincts that could make it harder for the elderly and minorities to have access to the ballot box.

You may have heard of C.L. Bryant, the former NAACP president of Garland, Texas. He's the newest Black tin soldier of the racist right. He defends the Republican faithful. He is a member of the Tea Party and a co-chair for Freedom Works. Bryant has defended the group against allegations of racism. He is the founder of OneNationBacktoGod.com and the creator of the independent film documentary Runaway Slave, "a movie about the race to free the Black community from the slavery of tyranny and progressive policies."

He along with Alveda King, Dr. Benjamin Carson, Deenen Borelli, Juan Williams, Jesse Lee Peterson, Allen West as the Black tin soldiers of the racist right. They are the defenders of the bigotry, hate, and divisiveness within the Republican Party.

These guys are getting massive airplay on Loserville and Bill-O and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win are willing to have these guys on. Willing to allow these Black extremists say some of the most nastiest things about the Black community. After all if there's a Black person talking negative about the Black community, there's no racism.


The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall posted on Wednesday evening that the only Black senator wasn't invited to the March On Washington event. Calling it an act of segregation.

Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) created a controversy where there was none. The racist right claims that the event barred Republicans. Being the only Black lawmaker in the U.S. Senate, one would think that's an accomplishment. He was promoted to U.S. Senator this year after Jim DeMint resigned to run the Heritage Foundation.

It turns out that Scott was invited to attend. He didn't want no part of it. The racist right claimed that Scott wasn't invited to speak at Wednesday’s 50th anniversary March on Washington.

Scott’s office declined an invitation to attend the ceremony as a spectator, according to a source connected to the event.
I've would have came but there were too many Black folks there! - Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina)
“Much of the speaking program was created based on those who were able to confirm availability to attend the event, and thus were able to speak at the event,” the source explained.

And based on an email exchange obtained by CQ Roll Call, the South Carolina Republican did receive an invitation to attend the festivities commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.’s delivery of the famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

The invitation, sent August 8th from the Coalition for the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, appears to have been a form letter to all members of Congress, with invitees listed as “Representative” rather than by name.

Within a day, Rachel Shelbourne, a staff assistant to Scott, had replied to the email with the following message:

“Thank you for extending to Senator Tim Scott the invitation to the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington on August 28th. Unfortunately, the Senator will be in South Carolina during this time, so he will be unable to attend the event. Please do, however, keep him in mind for future events you may be hosting.”

He's running for reelection (to serve the remaining term) in 2014 along with Senator Lindsay Graham R-South Carolina).

Turns out that an invite was sent to Scott, Congressmen John Boehner (R-Ohio), Congressman Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) and the Bush family. Each of them declined an offer to attend. Boehner is the current House Speaker and Cantor is the Republican Majority Leader.

George W. Bush is recovering from a heart surgery. George H.W. Bush is wheelchair bound and hardly makes speaking engagements.

Looks like Bill-O owes the people an apology.



You know that Bill-O would have been invited to the event. His friend Rev. Perm would be happy to have him at the podium. After all, I mean there's no one in the crowd saying "M-Fer I want more ice tea!"

Rev. Perm was a headliner at the March On Washington event. He offers Bill-O some advice about jumping to conclusions and what the Republican Party can do if they want to win Black voters.

See how he delivers the message.
