O'Reilly spews more classist bile

I've had this item on the backburner for a couple weeks, because I try not to get too worked up over the ravings of irrational has-beens. And Bill O'Reilly is nearly as much of a right-wing has-been as Rush Limbaugh is.

On his Fox News program recently, O'Reilly discussed an incident in which numerous freshmen at a high school in an upscale New Jersey suburb were suspended from school for distributing topless photos of classmates. The fact that he brang this up wasn't classist. But what he said next was.

Showing his class bigotry, O'Reilly declared that "it's an amazing amount of kids involved with this - 20 - in an affluent school district. This isn't, you know, the inner city. You would think that these kids would have some kind of a values system."

So he's saying that poor central cities don't have a values system while rich suburbs do? You're an idiot, Bill.

Isn't this the same Bill O'Reilly who's always trying to portray himself as some great working-class folk hero (even though he grew up wealthy and lives in a mansion today)?

The public inner-city high school I attended certainly had a better grasp of values than the private suburban high school I attended previously. I remember schoolmates from the suburban school who never had boundaries set for them in their whole lives.

In other words, O'Reilly is downright wrong when he tries to imply that a lack of values is limited to the inner cities.

What? Bill O'Reilly was wrong??? Gee, what a shock. (That's sarcasm!)
