O'Reilly swallows the Camelot Myth whole, and regurgitates it as "fact." Coulter takes him down.
...During his otherwise excellent commentaries on race in America, Bill O’Reilly, host of the No. 1 cable
news show, claimed on Tuesday night that the one person who tried to
help African-Americans more than any other was … Robert F. Kennedy!
No one laughed....
...According to O’Reilly’s Bizarro-World history, Bobby Kennedy was “the
guy who was really concerned about African-Americans” and “who really
DID SOMETHING. … He went in with the federal government and he cleaned
out the rat’s nest that was abusing African-Americans in the South.”
Although this myth has been polished to perfection by the Kennedy PR
machine, ...it is simply a fact that helping blacks was not the
Democrats’ priority. Even the ones who wanted to, such as Bobby and John
Kennedy, couldn’t risk upsetting the segregationists, more than 90
percent of whom were Democratic.
Another world-class history professor, Oprah Winfrey, declares that there were 'millions' of blacks lynched in the South. Actually, there were 4,700+, and 1,000+ of those were white folks. Most of the 4,700+ were Republicans, by the way--and the lynch-ers were Democrats.
That's why the Camelot folks didn't act against segregation.
