O’Reilly: Minorities Should Be ‘Furious’ Liberals Are Using Them to Stifle Dissent

Bill O’Reilly opened his show Friday night with a rant against politically correct liberals who exploit minority outrage in order to fuel their agenda and stifle any sort of dissent, especially on the right, from anyone who dares waver from the politically correct norm.

O’Reilly cited the YMCA school ban, the “hump day” camel ban, and people like Al Sharpton attacking him for his infamous “mf-ing iced tea” comment as examples of this “politically correct madness.” He argued it’s actually dangerous for free speech because this “wipes out dissent” and gives liberals “a point of attack” from which to accuse conservatives of being insensitive bigots.

He said, “The left attacks, attacks, attacks, using minorities as a flashpoint. If I were a minority, I would be furious about it.”
