Really, what is up with all the hate from him and Rush?

For those who don't read, he seems mostly upset that MJ has kids by white eggs and sperm. Also that he spent some of his money on himself.

Sorry if old. Here is the link:

Michael Jackson was a great performer, but there was very little else about him that was "great", which was the point O'Reilly was trying to make.

But he didnt seem to HAVE a point. All he did is call MJ selfish(?!?) and hint that Mike isn't really black.

It's a news/talk show. He's on their to debate, it's really no biggie. And I said it shouldn't matter to anyone else, not how he feels about his opinion.

And Bill O'reilly is one of the most pathetic humans alive. Pathetic in a sad way; he is desparate to be noticed. He strives for recognition by saying outrageous things that he thinks will get him some sort of coverage outside of his own studio, and by saying them as loud as he can.

Not even that. Just saw the headline on MSN and thought it worthy of discussion.

But you are right, I wouldn't watch him for anything. Well, not true. If someone I liked was going on to debate him I would.

To each his own, I love O'Reilly. He's really passionate about what he believes even though he has a short temper lol.

Well, Rush hates basically everyone who isn't a male American Republican of European descent, though of course he picks his battles in that regard so as not to be completely obvious about it, so no big surprise there.

O'Reilly's comments...well, I'm not even really sure what his point is supposed to be. Maybe he means that Jackson seemed to have something against his own skin color, between both doing that and turning his skin all white..er, yeah.

Yes, I know he supposedly had some skin disease, and I still say it was still an incredibly strange thing to do either way. Between that and the nose thing and whatever else, he obviously had some image issues. I think his own fame and inability to live a normal life due to fans and media probably pushed him over the edge after already having had an entirely messed up childhood, but exactly why he did so much bizarre stuff really isn't my point here.

Anyway, the real real issue at hand is probably simply that Jackson helped financially support the Democratic Party in past elections. Pretty much everything on Fox News comes back to partisan politics in the end.

Somebody should tell Hill there isn't a white person of MJ's stature. All the ones who were are dead. By that I mean Elvis. And why do people jump all over Bill no matter what he says? Most of the time taking his words out of context. Try to make an example out of anybody even close to being conservative? If this was Olbermann nobody say anything.

Serious statement? I really hope not. MJ embodied everything incorporated in positive change and goodhearted nature. He made himself a role model for people and taught them how to love, be giving and caring and always maintain a positive attitude, no matter what.

Maybe you failed to make that connection with MJ, but millions of people did, so he was MUCH more than a music icon.

O'Reilly is a racist, bias, ignorant and uninformed newscaster who needs to be sat down and given a time out. When he hated on Rap with little backing his oh-so-great opinion and basically slandered the genre, he was really pushing it. Now this? The guy is a joke who wants attention, and gets it by attacking things he knows are popular. I honestly don't believe that he truly believes in half of the things that he lets out. I don't think it's possible for someone to be so uninformed, incorrect and just plain off point so often. I'd understand if he had something behind his statements, but there is no argument, just bitter words.

OReilly will always be a spineless moron, but he's entitled to his opinion.

It's of no surprise to me that Fox News' 8pm pundit (OReilly) and 9pm pundit (Hannity) have both been trying to tear down MJ. It's exactly what their audience wants

I see O'reilly's point that people do pump michael waaaaaaaaay up and treat him like some unsung god. O'reilly had a good point but it was jsut poorly delivered. I have nothing agaisnt MJ but I do not find him to be a god of music or an important force in society. Didnot thinkt hat when he was alive and won't think that now that he is gone.

Actually before he died did anyone actually know this? No. That wasn't what anyone mentioned when talking about MJ. He was an entertainer back in the day....not even recently. That is his legacy. Well....the positive side anyways.

MJ was black, period. Just that, it was obvious he was not comfortable being so. From what he did to himself to all the way to what he has created, his "children."

Ah now that is not giving money. But for the record it was in response to Band Aid. More like a one up. And Quincy Jones and the artists contributed their time as well.

Well, he was a black man who then spent literally millions dyeing his skin white and reshaping his nose to look more white. I still hate Bill O'Reilly, but I think he's probably right on this one.

MJ was a good performer, but outside of that, he was a freak who slept with children. Those who think he's some civil rights hero like MLK are in need of a serious reality check.

Some feel 50 cent is a music icon. Should we praise him?
