Ludacris gives O’Reilly some love.
Ludacris, the “vile rapper” repeatedly targeted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, won three Grammy Awards last night, including Best Rap Artist. He gave a shout-out to O’Reilly:

February 12th, 2007 at 10:44 amWouldn't that be a great interview on the Bill O Show?
February 12th, 2007 at 10:45 amI thought Bill O'Reilly didn't like black people. Oh yeah, that's George Bush.
February 12th, 2007 at 10:52 ami heard this while in another room and thought "huh???"
good to see/hear the context... 'at's a good one...

Anybody that can create music about negativity in ghettos and degrade African American women is pretty vile to me.
February 12th, 2007 at 11:26 amDaryll, this has nothing to do with homosexuality.

"Ludicris" is a strange name, as in "ludicrous" maybe. How about your "divine leader" Bush's nicknames for people, such as "Turd Blossom"? Are they better names?
February 12th, 2007 at 11:30 amAnybody that can create music about negativity in ghettos and degrade African American women is pretty vile to me.

Make that a white duck,bro..
February 12th, 2007 at 11:33 am"W" is a pretty strange name. Anybody who (notice the correct grammar) can create chaos from stability, deficits from surpluses, world antagonism from world respect, and corruption from false moral high ground is pretty vile to me.

laughing very hard here, that is fun neee!
February 12th, 2007 at 11:35 amIt was great. What Ludicris was saying is O'Reilly talked about him like a dog and Oprah wouldn't have him on her show. So like the Dixie Chicks with Bush, Lucdicris wins. In other words the shout out to both O'Reilly and Oprah was " How you like me now as a winner". Just as the Dixie Chicks would say to the Liar-in-Chief. What award has O'Reilly won lately or Bush?

They call him that because he can spell that name.
February 12th, 2007 at 12:16 pmIt's sad that someone had to go and give a detailed explanation of this. Where has everyone been, living under a rock?

To further clarify:
1. Bill O. attempted to start a boycott against Pepsi because Luda (a short form of Ludaris) was scheduled to appear prominently in a Pepsi commercial. The fact that Bill has done things (and not just rapped about things) that were illegal, disgusting or offensive (TO SOME PEOPLE, many of whom had a secondary agenda) is of little concern here in the land of the free. I think that Bill is simply an out of touch, over the hill White man with too few problems and challenges in his life and far too much free time on his hands.
2. Oprah has consistently held young Black rappers (and by extension Black youth culture as a whole) to a higher moral standard than she does White politicians and others. Along with refusing to give air time to prominent Black rap artists, she regularly derides rappers and Black youth culture as misogynistic and negative, while ignoring the other side of the story by not allowing it to be aired. Inevitably (and unfortunately) Oprah gives a pass to other groups when they commit similar transgressions and, at the very least (like in the book club incident), she allowed the person in question a chance to (at least) give his side of the story. While I think that Bill O. is relatively harmless (anyone who watches the Bill O. show and digests his nonsense (as-is) without seeing him for what he is, is most likely not an effective person, not a challenge and very likely an idiot). Oprah, on the other hand, is a valued member of the media and someone that millions of Americans look to for guidance (both moral and fashion surprisingly enough).
February 12th, 2007 at 12:36 pmHis question "Why did they knock their own buildings down?" still goes unmentioned and unanswered!
Maybe Daryll can answer it for us?
February 12th, 2007 at 12:46 pmthe video skips too much. annoying.

How did you get so smart?
February 12th, 2007 at 12:53 pmHistory Lesson:
Bill hates him and wanted Pepsi to boycott him, because he pointed out the OBVIOUS, that the WTC buildings were knocked down with explosives on 9-11.
February 12th, 2007 at 1:12 pmHey Pastor - what does your favorite best-selling book say about how I'm supposed to properly sacrifice animals to god? I believe it's in Leviticus but I can't remember the details. Please tell me though as I wouldn't want to anger God by mutilating animal corpses in a way he might disapprove. After that, I'll get to the question regarding how your Bible says I should treat slaves.
February 12th, 2007 at 1:21 pmHey Pastor -...

February 12th, 2007 at 2:01 pmLets see now. Dems now support black racist gang bangin thugs and welcome them to the table along with the rest of the outcasts of society?
Typical.
Comment by Juicy White Folk — February 12, 2007 @ 12:50 pm
No surprise, it basically shows the lack of morals in their lives. Come to think of it, I don't even believe you can correlate the two terms (Democrat; Morals).

It's much easier than correlating 'gay, black & republican', which you seem to have done without issue. The difference is that democrats so morality in the light of truth, you see it in the closet, and through the lens of hatred, bigotry and superstition. That's why white is black to you, and you believe that murdering human beings through war is moral, while removing a blastocysts is immoral. Which brings us back to your use of words - what you 'believe' isn't relevant. You kooks always 'believe' whatever you want, no matter how much evidence proves you wrong.
February 12th, 2007 at 2:32 pmWhat are Jews?
Why is there the Jewish faith?
Who are these Jews?
Muslims?

Yeah, it's the Dems who are acting like Christians (by allowing the outcasts to join them at the table)
February 12th, 2007 at 4:03 pmWhat's sad is Saint Daryll, self proclaimed expert on the Bible, doesn't even understand this. It's as if he can't even follow his own teachings.
But then again, that is typical of the right.
NEXT
Pastor a few questions:
Can the Dallas Cowboys touch the dead flesh of a pig on sundays?
How about Notre Dame?
Should the entire village help me to stone my wife who disagrees with me or can I do this all by myself?
Should I buy slaves directly from members of my own country or am I still allowed to take them "from the nations around me"?
If my house is inside of a walled city does the bank still have th right to reclaim it after 1 year?
Now when I slaughter my animal for offering is this done on the North side of the altar or at the Tent of Meeting? I get confused.
So when does our leader need to sacrifice a male goat in atonement for his intentional sin or would 2 doves be enough?
Do I stone my mother because she likes scallops?
Does my wife still have to wait 33 days after the birth of a son to enter a church or 66 days for a daughter?
God is Love. Unquestioning, unfettering, unequivocal love.

Oreilly could have perhaps won a Grammy if there was a Falafel weilding sexual harassment category. Amazing how little talent it takes to be a talking head.
February 12th, 2007 at 8:18 pmThe Right Wing Racists are out in full bloom, Spring is upon us.
February 12th, 2007 at 8:19 pm....this is strange.....a somewhat intellectual discussion on a news blog... with regards to hiphop culture, and specifically....a rap artist...
I am very impressed. Thinkprogress appears to be producing an actual knowledgeable followship! Barack may actually have a chance!
Now on the "other stuff":
I know two terms that go together very well (Republican; pedophile). For a party of high morales your leaders have some very sick fetishes involving children. Seriously, you can't claim to have or desire morales and be in any way affiliated with the Republican party. If you don't like dems, fine. But you can't be affiliated with politicians that have brand image built off corruption, pedophilia, the rape and pillage of the poor, and an overall policy of criminal-insanity-for-profit. Become an independant, or better yet, set up your own party, but stop supporting immorale, murderous crooks. Jesus wouldn't be too happy with you.
February 12th, 2007 at 8:35 pmThough I detest Rap Music, AMERICA IS A FREE COUNTRY AND EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO LISTEN TO WHATEVER KIND OF MUSIC THEY WANT TO LISTEN TO! O'LIE-lly should just KEEP HIS VILE YAP-TRAP SHUT and STIFLE HIMSELF--O'LIEllly GOT CLASSILY BITCH-SLAPPED by Ludacris, WHO HAD THE LAST LAUGH ON HIM! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT KIND OF MUSIC THEY CAN OR CAN"T LISTEN TO--THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY, and the SOONER that IDIOTS like O'LIE-lly REALIZE THAT, THE BETTER OFF WE ALL WILL BE!!!!!

So why are not enlisted Tracy, and why are you grammy-less? Miss many talents.
February 13th, 2007 at 3:54 am#46
You think what Ludacris does requires real talent? Getting payed to say cus words and degrade women?
February 13th, 2007 at 7:37 pm#42
I don't think O'Reilly would want the award considering what BS is required to get a grammy now-a-days.

Do you really beleive the bull crap that u wrote? Bill O'Reilly is unheard of in France. This is going back to that war on Irak. France never steped in because there are too many Muslims over there. There would be a bomb every 5 min. Beside France asked for more evidences regarding the weapons of mass destructions. O'reilly dumb ass never understood. Now we all know there were no weapons so who was smart, Bill ?
