Bill O’Reilly really let his racist flag fly tonight in ways not seen since his infamous visit to Sylvia’s restaurant in Harlem several years ago. In a discussion with Dennis Miller about why Obama has lost so much popularity since he took office, O’Reilly suggested that it’s because of “a grievance" that Obama shares with other African Americans "against whites who aren’t sympathetic to their cause.”

At about 2:30, Dennis Miller began to wonder how Obama lost so much popularity and then offered his own answer. “I don’t sense he likes half the country.”

O'Reilly didn't mention Mitt Romney’s “47%” remark. Instead, he responded by asking,

Do you think it has anything to do with grievance? Because in some African American communities there is a grievance against whites who aren’t sympathetic to their cause. And that may be driving a little bit of it. So there are some African Americans who believe that the reason they’re not prospering as a community, alright, is because society hasn’t done enough, and the reason that society hasn’t done enough is because of rich white guys.

To his credit, Miller said he didn’t “think of it like that with Obama.” He called Obama “one of those intelligentsia swells who looks down on people that he thinks aren’t up to speed intellectually with him. So I don’t get a color thing off him.”

But, although he may not have meant the question that way, clearly Bill O’Reilly thinks Obama has a grievance or he wouldn’t have speculated that it could be a reason for his loss of popularity.
