There has been a hub-bub about Bill O'Reilly's use of the term "lynching party" in conjunction with some utterance of Michelle Obama.
Firstly, this is the Bill O'Reilly that didn't know that "colored folks" had restaurants where an old white guy could get something to eat. Remember?
Secondly, Bill O'Reilly is a Media Conservative Talker and he said that he would NOT join a lynching party.
Get it? NOT!
What Mr. O'Reilly has done is shown us the concepts that Media Conservative Talkers use, how they construct or interpret Reality, if you will.
Mr. O'Reilly intimates that people like himself; the Ledeens, the Ingrahams, the Limbaughs; view reality as a construct wherein "lynching parties" might yet be a good idea to knock some sense into various "colored folks" who, for one reason or another, need some sense-knocking.
Mr. O'Reilly says uncategorically that he will not take part in the "lynching party"! He is saying that "lynching party" is a valid conceptual way of looking at things, BUT he will not take part. He knows that it is bad.
He's O.K.
