Al Sharpton Salutes Women Who Stood Up To Bill O'Reilly

>>> NOW FOR THIS WEEK'S GOCH CHA.
A VERY SPECIAL EDITION. RIGHT NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT RIGHT
WING MEDIA FIXTURE BILL O'REILLY WAS OUSTED THIS WEEK FROM HIS
POSITION AS THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL'S TOP DRAW.
THE DECISION CAME DOWN AS ADVERTISERS CONTINUED TO PULL
OUT OF MR. O'REILLY'S SHOW, FLEEING THE FALL OUT FROM A NEW
YORK TIMES STORY ABOUT THE VARIOUS SEXUAL HARASSMENT
ALLEGATIONS LEVELLED AGAINST HIM OVER A 15-YEAR SPAN.
O'REILLY, OF COURSE, DENIED ANY WRONG DOING.
I WON'T EXPOUND ON THE DETAILS OF THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MR.
O'REILLY, FOR THE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FOX NEWS PAID OUT TO SILENCE HIS ACCUSERS.
I'M HERE WITH A DIFFERENT AND ADMITTEDLY PERSONAL TAKE ON THE
O'REILLY OUSTER. FOR 21 VERY LONG YEARS AT FOX
NEWS, MR. O'REILLY DEMONIZED ALMOST EVERY GROUP THAT WASN'T
MADE UP OF STRAIGHT WHITE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE MEN.
IT WAS HIS BREAD AND BUTTER. >> MANY OF THEM ARE ILL EDUCATED
AND HAVE TATTOOS ON THEIR FOREHEADS, AND HOW ARE YOU -- I
HATE TO BE GENERALIZED ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S TRUE.
>> THE WHITE ESTABLISHMENT IS NOW THE MINORITY.
AND THE VOTERS, MANY OF THEM, FEEL THAT THE E ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
STACKED AGAINST THEM, AND THEY WANT STUFF.
>> I DIDN'T HEAR A WORD SHE SAID.
I WAS LOOKING AT THE JAMES BROWN WIG.
>> COMING UP, POWER TAKEN AWAY FROM THE WHITE ESTABLISHMENT.
THEY WANT A CHANGE IN THE WAY AMERICA IS RUN.
>> SLAVES THAT WERE THERE WERE WELL FED AND HAD DECENT LODGINGS
PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
HE SAID ALL OF THAT, AND WITH FIGHTING WORDS LIKE THAT, IS IT
ANY SURPRISE THAT MR. O'REILLY MADE A SPECIAL TARGET OF YOURS
TRULY? >> HE'S A DISHONEST, A MAN WHO
COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT REPORTING WHAT'S TRUE.
AL SHARPTON HAS THE NERVE TO INSULT THE AMERICAN POLICE
COMMUNITY. AL SHARPTON IS IN BUSINESS WITH
PEOPLE WHO CUT OUT ENTERTAINMENT HARMFUL TO CHILDREN.
SHARPTON ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS
SELF ENGRANDIZEMENT. >> SEVERAL YEARS AGO I WAS ON
HIS SHOW EXPRESSING MY VIEW WITH THE DISAPPROPRIATION WITH DR.
KING'S LEGACY. I HOPE HE'S WATCHING NOW.
THE ARC OF THE UNIVERSE, THE MORAL UNIVERSE IS LONG.
BUT IT BENDS TOWARD JUSTICE. IN THIS CASE, THAT'S A POLITE
WAY TO FRAME IT. FOR A LESS CORDIAL EXPRESSION,
I'LL TURN TO BROTHER MALCOLM X WHO TALKED ABOUT CHICKENS COMING
HOME TO ROOST. BOTH MEN WERE ESSENTIALLY SAYING
THE SAME THING. OR AS WE WOULD SAY IN BROOKLYN,
PAY BACK'S A MOTHER. MR. O'REILLY, YOU HAD THE
HIGHEST RATED PRIME TIME CABLE PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY FOR
SEVERAL YEARS. YOU DID THIS BY FLIRTING WITH
WHITE NATIONALISM AND AS LONG AS YOUR BOSSES WERE HAPPY, YOU
APPEARED TO BE UNTOUCHABLE, BUT AS YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD
KNOW, MONEY TALKS. AND THIS WEEK IT TOLD EVEN YOU
TO SHUT UP. SO WHILE YOU MADE A GREAT ON AIR
FOIL FOR ALL THESE YEARS, I'VE GOT TO STEP ASIDE AND GIVE THE
PROPS TO THREE FORCES THAT DID SOMETHING I AND OTHERS COULDN'T.
ONE, TO KARMA. TWO, TO CAPITALISM, AND THREE,
THE BRAVE WOMEN WHO CAME FORWARD AND MAY CONTINUE TO DO SO,
BECAUSE THIS WEEK ALL THREE GOT YOU.
AND WHEN WE
