"Drug-addicted …Thugs" - Bill O'Rielly

Is this O'Rielly describing his fellow right-wing broadcaster Rush (oxycontin-man) Limbaugh? Of course not. The fact that his fellow mouthpiece for the rightwing (allegedly) used his housekeeper, Wilma Cline, to find him drugs and also (allegedly) doctor-shopped to obtain hundreds of prescription pills is OK in O'Rielly's world. An addict only becomes a "thug" when they are poor, black, and live in New Orleans. Via MediaMatters.org On the September 13 broadcast of The Radio Factor, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "many of the poor in New Orleans" did not evacuate the city before Hurricane Katrina because "[t]hey were drug-addicted" and "weren't going to get turned off from their source." O'Reilly added, "They were thugs." This coming from the same man who paid off his former producer Andrea Mackris, to quiet a sexual harassment lawsuit. What a scumbag!!
