Keep in mind this comment comes shortly after John Gibson, host of Fox News’ The Big Story with John Gibson, argued that Whites needed to have more babies since Latino immigrants were the largest percentage of children under 5. The Right-Wing’s links to classical White Supremacist thinking cannot be overstated.
During the May 16 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly claimed that The New York Times and “many far-left thinkers believe the white power structure that controls America is bad, so a drastic change is needed.” O’Reilly continued: “According to the lefty zealots, the white Christians who hold power must be swept out by a new multicultural tide, a rainbow coalition, if you will.”

Nadir: Please explain how these comments are racist. I agree with you about John Gibson's comments. But O'Reilly merely paraphrased you kooky leftists, including the Mexican racists who want to "brownify" (or whatever phrases they variously employ) portions of the US. I watch O'Reilly and can accurately report that he merely wants US citizens to control their own border, not non-citizen residents, or residients of other nations. Many Americans who were born in Mexico, or to Mexican parents, agree with this point. O'Reilly does not advocate a "white power structure" and he opposes any "race" qualification for holding any job in America.
I wonder why the people who want so many new Mexican immigrants and who want to change the US immigration system don't try to encourage immigration to Mexico and to change the immigration system there. Officials of Mexico's government want the US to change its policies in ways that contradict its own national immigration policies. Tommy has yet to answer my questions about his "rights" in Mexico as a non-citizen living there. Could he vote? Could he own property? If he tried to vote, would he have needed photo ID?
And how would the Mestizos in Mexico have reponded to millions of honkeys pouring into Mexico?

Here free-marketeer Larry Kudlow advocates that the US welcome all who want to come here to work.
O'Reilly's comments on their face are not racist. His characterization of "lefty zealots" who believe the "white power structure in America" is bad, however is a disparaging remark to anyone who believes a multi-cultural or simply a more representative power structure would be better.
His comments are designed to incite the white supremacist sympathies within his core audience, and spur them into action.
Nadir: You do not know what O'Reilly has designed his comments for. But I can tell you that he absolutely opposes holding non-whites out of any power positions, and he heartily endorses a "power structure" that racially reflects America's racial composition. Even further, he applauds when certain "races" achieve disproportionate representation in these positions, such as the Asian immigrants winning high fractions of student seats at prestigious US universities.
How often do you watch O'Reilly, by the way? You seem to not have heard him comment on this, in addition to 100% accurately ascertaining the hidden agenda of his comments.
O'Reilly does oppose setting official quotas for not only "minorities", but even for whites, as he has commented with regard to the domination by Asians at prestigious US universities. If white kids want more seats at these universities, he says, they need to earn it; they need to study harder than the Asian kids.
I am absolutely certain that O'Reilly's huge audience contains approximately 0% white supremicists, and I challange you to support your claim to the contrary. Do I have evidence to support my claim that there is no such thing? No, because that would be proving a negative. The burden falls to you to prove that this creature -- white supremicists -- exist in his audience. He does feature them occassionally, and excoriates them enthusiastically.
Maybe your definition of "white supremicist" is "white people who voted for Bush"? In that case, I reject your definition.
