Bill O'Reilly Takes On Eminem Over Palin Reference In 'We Made You' Clip
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 04/09/2009

2009-04-09 - Eminem and Bill O'ReillyEminem raised a lot of eyebrows when he released the first video from his upcoming Relapse album earlier this week. While fans laughed, enjoyed or criticized the rapper's comeback music video, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly was just plain disgusted by Em's references to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

On Wednesday night (April 8), O'Reilly took to his show "The O'Reilly Factor" to smash the rapper, calling the jab at Palin an "attack".

"Few Americans take the vile rapper Eminem seriously," O'Reilly said on his show. "He represents the lowest form of entertainment in this country and is a publicity hound to boot."

In O'Reilly's "Personal Story" segment, he took issue at a few bars of Eminem's latest song, "We Made You," slamming him as a misogynist.

"I'll invite Sarah Palin out to dinner, nail her/ Baby, say hello to my little friend," Em raps on the song.

The talk-show host calls Em's new song "crude," and seemed angry over the fact mainstream media, and/or women's groups have yet to protest the song.

"It's so crude, what he does. Kids see it, not adults. Nobody over 25 goes into this stuff," said O'Reilly.

"Women's groups come in, [saying] I'm anti-woman because I made fun of Helen Thomas about a dopey comment she made, but not one woman's group, so far that we've seen, protested any of this," he continued.

O'Reilly received a lot of backlash from pro-women groups of veteran reporter Helen Thomas' views on terrorism, and now that Em referenced Sarah Palin in "We Made You," he wants the rapper to receive the same treatment.

He went on to say that "left wing" major media outlets -- New York Times and L.A. Times for example -- have remained quiet about the new Eminem track, accusing them of being biased against Palin, but says if he'd "attacked" Hilary Clinton or Michelle Obama, these same outlets would "kill him."

"Eminem is obviously on an obscene rant about Sarah Palin, it's totally obscene, totally inappropriate," O'Reilly continued.

Guest feminist Tammy Bruce said that Em's "objectification of Palin meant that all women can be used," and if parents cared about their daughters, and men about their wives, they'd protest the video.

"Every woman out there that cares about the future for their daughters, every man out there that care about his wife's, or daughter's future, needs to take a stand against this and recognize it for what it is," she said.

O'Reilly ended his rant with: "All I want to do in this segment is, #1, Eminem means nothing. The video means nothing. It plays before kids who are confused. But, the hypocrisy and dishonestly of the media does mean something in this country. It's out of control."

  • token88

    the lowest form of entertainment is shows like his.

  • stormshadow

    What bothers O'Reilly more? The fact that Em said what he (Bill) wanted to about Palin and he got called out on the Helen Thomas incident OR that everyone expects this from Em now and it's old news and not shocking when he tears into people YET he still brings in new fans and makes great, entertaining music because you can't help but listen. Get over it Bill!

  • Dre

    Bill-O the clown seems to forget his treatment of a certain woman treatment from him but because he paid for it to go away under the conditions that the woman could never speak on it publicly in order to keep the hush money, he's now the spokesman for women's rights ? He's a bigot and a buffoon and the people who intently listen to and follow this sanctimonious sap is like minded !

    Well, someone took Bill 'O Reilly on for this: http://digg.com/d1oPFC

  • Kristin

    Hahaha, who under 50 listens to Bill? I suppose its ok for Bill to bash his own women but somehow feels a need to defend Sarah Palin of all clowns? He'd be an Eminem fan if he spoofed Hillary.

    F-ck bill! Tell that sh-t to the tv and movie industry

  • Straight_shooter

    You guys are missing the point about the hypocrisy, if Em had done the video with Michelle Obama, there would be major outrage. The women's groups only care about liberal women and not women in general.

  • ili

    There are many women in the media who get disrespected in video especially women of color ie: black women, hispanic women, so now that a white women has this treatment bill feels the need to step in , in my opinion he should have commented this issue a long time ago. I agree on our worlds morals are out of control...... although he should have step in a long time ago if he has such a interest in women rights.

  • Dorian O’Day

    You got to be kidding me!!! After all the SNL skits and the Pornos made depicting Sarah Palin he waits until Em makes a video to decide to speak up? If he wanted to defend her he should of did it in the begining. Bill O'Reilly has a vendetta against rap music which is why he only comments when a rapper does something.

  • joe

    hahahaha eminem is good shit.. O'Rielly has no sense of humor..

  • joe

    hahahha eminem is the shit. Orielly there are more eminem fans than you could ever have..

  • joe
