Bill O’Reilly And Bernie Goldberg Explore: Is Occupy Wall Street Anti-Semitic?

video
» 135 comments

After challenging Dr. Marc Lamont Hill at the top of the show to help him explore the potential racial elements of Occupy Wall Street, Bill O’Reilly returned to the potential bigotry of the movement with Bernie Goldberg, discussing the various anti-Semitic signs that had been seen at Occupy protests across the country. Were these as representative of the protests as racist signs seen at Tea Party events?

The segment was not, as it may have initially appeared, cut from the same template as the debate with Hill– here the media in question was an interview with an eloquent schoolteacher at Occupy LA who sat down with Reason.tv and politely explained that “Zionist Jews need to be run out of this country.” Needless to say, the bit was quite distressing for Goldberg, though he emphasized that he did not know how widespread such sentiment was. “But I do know this,” he added– “she is certainly not the only one.” In fact, several posters throughout the Occupy protests in the weekend showed racist imagery, and a group calling itself the “American Nazi Party” lent its official support over the weekend (though, for what it’s worth, so did “Communist Party USA,” so who knows what that means).

The fringe elements of the live-in revolt did not seem to concern Goldberg so much as the media reaction to it, however, especially considering the reaction to the Tea Party movement. “You could’ve had ten million people at a Tea Party– if there was one racist sign, it was going to get on the air.” The woman in the Reason video, Goldberg explained, “puts liberals and liberal journalists in a dilemma… there’s a black woman who speaks very well, is dressed nicely, and she’s a bigot.” That, Goldberg concluded, wasn’t supposed to happen, while racist signs at a Tea Party rally “fit their worldview,” and so were given media coverage. O’Reilly agreed, saying of the anti-Semitism at Occupy LA: “[the media] are going to ignore it… that’s what they always do when something doesn’t fit into their worldview.”

    Well… there is certainly more evidence of the OWS crowd being antisemitic that the Tea Party was racist. More video. More signs. You just have to wonder why the same media that cover the Tea Party stuff is not covering the OWS stuff??? Mmmm… I wonder why?

  • Michelle

    Was this a joke?  I’m being serious because there is video of an OWS’er calling for just that.

  • Anonymous

    Were charges of racism directed at the Tea Party factual? There are multiple videos of OWS protesters saying that Jews are scamming America and that they need to be run out of the country. 

    And where are the videos of Tea Party people saying that Black people ought to leave the country? There aren’t. Yet the mainstream media won’t highlight the OWS gimpses of bigotry… Liberals will just keep making baseless claims that the Tea Party is racist.

    so let me get this…
    the ows has no unified message–yet the ows is antisemetic?
    the ows does not know what they want–yet they are communists?
    they are lazy and hippies–yet none of them are asking for any handouts..

    do i need to post more tea party folks getting govie checks yelling to stop entitlements? do I?

    here is a marine who fought in Iraq–as did his dad and as did his mom..

    i can prettty much guarantee that many ows haters have not done this…

    it is time the 1% stopped having 99% of the influence–fair is fair..
    now the 99% is forcing the government to listen~

    You have made excuse after excuse for the offensive actions of those on OWS. Theirs signs. Their antisemitism. Their assaults on police. Their trespassing. Their disturbing the peace. Their violation of other people rights. Their hatred of law enforcement. Their spitting on serviceman/women.
    I make so such excuses for a nut showing up at a Tea Party rally with an offensive sign. Get them out as far as I’m concerned. I was never a Birther (Palin or Obama).

    Are OWS protestors Anti-Semitic?? All of them, no. A large minority of them, clearly yes. Are they Communists/socialists/leftie anarchist. Overwhelmingly yes. I visited their little camp over the last few days and virtually ALL of the literature on display, either being sold out or for free was extolling Lenin/Marx or some other Communist ideologues. Not Very inspiring. That being said, as pathetic as these dregs of our society are, they have a point about Wall St’s misbehaviour, they just have literally the exact wrong apprroach to solving it (More govt control over everything)

  • joe

    well one thing is for sure–you are either not very smart or really just a liar..

    there is no way that you would know this..
    since it was in New York–i would guarantee many are jews in the ows..
    here is what i do know..
    1. there are many  more jews in ows than at the tea rallies..
    2. there are many more people of color at ows than at the tea rallies..
    3. there are many more young people at the ows than at the tea rallies
    4. there is much greater religious/non religous diversity in the ows than at the tea rallies..

    so –that means the ows is much more representitive of america and the world–
    the crap you just wrote above is so ridiculous–no rational or sensible person who had any higher leverl education worth talking about–would ever even write it or think it..
    it is a lie–it is foolish and without merit or sense of reality..
    so—in the end–people like you will stay in your corners of hate–as the rest of us repair your messes..
    then we will carry you with us–so again you can climb on our shoulders and pretend to be GIANTS~
    you are welcome~

    As you may be able to tell by my screen name, I’m a NYC boy,and I work in Manhattan, so I saw (and smelled) these weirdos with my own eyes and nose. There were virtually ZERO “people of color” there actually. I’m also fairly young (under 30) and Jewish. Yes, there were lots of young people there doing drugs, and generally acting stupid (as drug addicted and unemployed are want to do).

    i really like to thing logically-it is just something i like to do..
    it is why i never bought into the birth certificate thing-never really bought the WMD thing..
    and now i do not buy the ows is anitsemites thing..
    why?
    well they do not call New York –Jew York for nothing..
    the only places with more jews per capita are isreal and palm beach..
    and since the ows started in New York and Jews have always been influential in these types of events–i can bet 1 million to one–these people are not anti semites..
    if there are any messages like this–i would like to offer the hannity/coulter logic and say that tea partiers are coming in as ows protesters with hate signs to give the movement a bad name…

    but to say that this movement is racist or antisemetic? that is pretty silly–
    young and wild eyed? yes..
    but to call a bunch of Jews anti semites and a bunch of Blacks racists against blacks?

    No, many people “of color” in New York, virtually none at Zucotti Park, when I visited. As for Jews, well how would I “see them” exactly. Unless they were of the observant variety, Jews are not a VISIBLE minority. Lastly, I don’t need to live behind the glass, or “Occupy” a city park either on a permanent basis. Are lefties against “Occupation” anyway?

    LOL, any “hint” of racism at Tea Party rallies?  Did you somehow miss people yelling about “fucking wetbacks” and telling them to go home?  The signs with Obama featured as a monkey, African witch doctor, Hitler, and a secret Muslim who wants to destroy America?  Constant hateful rhetoric and ridiculous racial claims, such as “Obama’s plan is white slavery,” and “Obama hates white people.”  Calling Obama “un-American” and “not a real Christian” repeatedly?  Saying that he “wants to destroy America” because he hates our way of life?

    The birther madness you can at least pretend wasn’t racist, although it was for some, but the rest?  How can you even imagine those aren’t racist?

    Seriously, even if you didn’t witness as much vile hatred as I did as some of these rallies, you can find countless examples online.  It’s depressing how much these racists and haters polluted the Tea Party movement.  Hatred hurts your legitimacy, and it turns off so many decent people that would have supported you.

I don’t honestly think that most people in OWS care if the people they’re protesting are white, black, jewish, asian…it’s not about that at all. As for the nazis, it clearly says in the article that they wanted to lend their support, but it did not indicate that OWS organizers were accepting it. You’re just letting the corporate puppet-masters pull your strings, and just parroting stuff you heard on fox news. When you have an actual authentic thought regarding this movement, be sure to let us know.

They seem to be able to tap into the angst, the mood of the country, the sense that we are at the end of a process which began with Raygun and which will create a nation of a few haves and a mass of have nots. That is an inherently unstable, undemocratic type of nation.

    The real issue was the second part of the Goldberg segment.  I really like him as an author, but like Ann Coulter, he’s much better in print than on television.  He got really scatter-brained discussing Herman Cain’s chances by completely ignoring the media influence.  Herman Cain won’t get called a racist, a crazy religious nut, etc. as easily as Mitt Romney.  And Goldberg should know better than anyone that some members of the media will pull no punches in their attempts to get Obama reelected.

    ALL liberals hate Jews. They hate them because Israel is disproportionately powerful compared to it’s hostile neighbors and opposes their Raghead friends.

    Every time Michelle makes these claims, you should pester her to cite her reference.  She likes to hit-and-run, then tell people to do their own research.  She doesn’t seem to like it when the argument is on the table.

    So, Michelle, to pick up on our exchange yesterday, please cite your source.  Otherwise I’ll assume you mean the “Eat the Rich” statements, then continue to point and laugh.

    ADL calls on OWS to denounce anti-semetic signs and comments at its rallies.  As the Anti Defamation League states 

    “There is no evidence that these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are representative of the larger movement or that they are gaining traction with other participants.  However, history demonstrates time and again how economic downturns can embolden anti-Semites to spread malicious conspiracy theories and promote stereotypes about Jews and money. As a consequence, these statements must not be left unchallenged.  ” http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/6138_12.htm

    Hopefully, both the media, OWS leaders and other hold the OWS accountable for calling out this terrible bigotry.  

    Pres. Obama should also stress that anti-semitism should not be tolerated since he’s praising the OWS and his class warfare speeches have been setting a potentially dangerous tone.

    Just because some of the OWS crowd have dubbed the park “Konzentrationslager Auschwitz” is no reason to get upset!

    Now, let’s get our big green dollar signs sown onto our shirts so we can let those folks know who’s rich and who’s poor.

    My thoughts are every authentic on the OWS puppet “movement”. OWS are puppets of government who happen to be mostly “progressive”. The “progressive” OWS “movement” hate jews because they think the jews control the world through banks. The American Nazi Party joined OWS because,
    1; they know nazism and “progressiveism” share a root begining and,
    2; The American Nazi Party also believes that jews control the world through banks.

    So it’s only natural that they join forces.
    Also OWS is not a movement. It’s a fad, a smelly, uneducated “progressive” fad. Thats all.

    “Progressives” are collectivists. Conservatives and libertarians are not. So when a “progressive” drone acts stupid, and alot of them do, it is correct of us to take that drones dumb actions and lable it on the prog collective as a whole.

    If “progressives” didn’t want to be blamed for the actions of a few malfunctioning drones, they never should of adopted the collectivist mantra.

    Any excuse will be enough for anti semites, aka Judeophobes, Jewhaters to demonstrate hating Jews. So what else is new already?   It doesn’t take much for these hateful creeps to perform antisemitic acts.  In virtually every large crowd there will be participants of many stripes.  Some should be in stripes if they violently break the law.   I am personally for civil disobedience but I wouldn’t want to be involved.  Mainly because I don’t want to be arrested.  I know there are many Jews participating in OccupyPhilly where I live. I know in Occupy Phila, its the people involved who decide what is important,  Hopefully its that way everywhere.

    To be fair, the tea party started off as a fad as well, a “smelly, under-educated, conservative fad”. Give it a chance, with the right people heading it up, it could go somewhere. All they need is better leadership. And also, the american nazi party has not joined OWS, and it is irresponsibly untruthful to say that, just to better your side of a discussion. That’s about as true as me saying that obviously, the nazis were put up to do it by people who just want OWS to look bad. Just because they take out a press release saying they support it, doesn’t mean anything. I’m sure the KKK supports the tea party, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re part of it, right?

    As the Rock and Roll group Danny and the Juniors (from the 1950′s) said, “Rock and Roll will always be,” it is obvious to me that anti-Semitism will follow the same commentry that Danny and his group said.

    Ok, I suppose when Bill Hicks said it that was perfectly all right, since you didn’t mention the originator of that phrase in this conversation.

    It isn’t OUR banking system… its THEIRS… the Zionist   Their bills are called NOTES… Notes are debt instruments… so are your car and house NOTES!  Our real banking system used to use US Dollars and please use your Constitution to look up the definition of a dollar. Get educated or just continue rambling on…

    The nations of the world are fed up with the jews-hyksos whom were expelled from Egypt, and hundreds of other countries throughout history. What we are witnessing today is a repetition of history not anti-Semitism. Anti exploitation of the goy nations is what it is. The Egyptian citizens rebelled because of this, and forced the Egyptian military to expel the these evil hyksos. The jews-hyksos deny that they are the hyksos, and that the military expulsion was not the exodus due to the embarrassment they went through in Egypt and thus other countries. Egypt after the expulsion the Egyptian dynasty who expelled the jews-hyksos thus became the wealthiest and powerful dynasty in history. So let nature clean itself once again so the nations can once again live in peace with each other .
