O'Reilly's Rant On Michael Jackson
Filed under: Michael Jackson > Bill O'ReillyOn the Real Deal segment of his controversial Fox News show, the O'Reilly Factor,Bill O' Reilly offered some very strong opinions on Michael Jackson's current place in America.
Here are some HIGHlights:
“Yes the man was an all star entertainer, but that’s it.”
“Jackson’s interaction with children were unacceptable for any adult.”
“His incredible selfishness spending hundreds of millions of dollars on himself while singing We Are The World should make any clear thinking American nauseas."
“Why are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton making this a racial deal. Jackson bleached his own skin and then chose white men to provide existence to his children. To hear Sharpton speak today, you’d think Jackson was Martin Luther King, Jr.”
“Why is he being held up in the African American Community as a pillar of Black America when he bleached his skin.”
“The crowd outside the service was much smaller than predicted. The service itself was well done. But the media coverage was bizarre."
"…and after Michael Jackson was found 'Not Guilty' the American media did not exactly elevate him to hero status. Did it? But now that he’s dead (most likely from an accidental drug overdose). He is a hero. How does that work?"
Watch him in action (above)!
WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!! FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!! What a hater!!!
I agree with O'Reilly on all accounts…
The guy makes some really good points
Amen! Someone finally speaks up about this shit. Jackson didn't do shit and doesn't deserved to be worshipped.
why is he a hero now? im soooooo sick of hearing about him and his circus freak family
amen, someone had to say it!
As usual super classy Bill O' Reilly runs his mouth in a way that hurts people and helps no one. The Jackson family is suffering and so are a lot of fans…this couldn't wait a litte while Bill? Looks like you're the "pinhead" tonight.
Bill O'Reilly is going to hell.
I absolutely agree with Bill. No other adult male in the world would be allowed to have children sleep in his bed and have us believe it was normal. He was a great entertainer, but he was a poor, deluded man. I feel bad for the children he raised, but there is no way he is the biological father. They are blond haired, blue eyed, not Bi-racial. When the toxicology report comes out, we will see that he was a drug addict, plain and simple. NOT a good role model for our children.
why give that dumb ass any attention, bill speaks out of his ass
Everything he said was true… people all the sudden forgot how weird MJ was.
He is so disrespectful. I am not even gonna watch that. The quotes posted are enough to make me sick.
i agree with everything he said.. the whole thing was just ridiculous. Please stop talking about him like he was this great man who did amazing things for the world. He made great music but once he went white he turned into a freak. Get over it people.
I don't agree with him on much of anything…but he's dead on. This man did not want to be black. He hated being black so much that he chose to have white children when he could have used his own sperm. Why the black community feels that he is "one of them" is a mystery to me.
why the hell are people suddenly attacking MJ? let him RIP. gah!
Does make for good food for thought. Very well put Mr. O'Reilly. I very much agree. He was an exceptional ENTERTAINER, but that's where the line should be drawn.
he may be an asshole, but he's right this time!
It's all good. Al Sharpton owned his blueberry ass just 5 minutes ago.
1st
Love ya Bill! ALWAYS RIGHT
Michael Jackson only bleached his skin because he had vitiligo, not because he was desperate to "be white".
the great american tale! a story of triumph and the greater good! we will take a fresh human and strip him of his innocence and subsequently his sanity. we, his family and friends, will pimp him out for decades. we will watch him waste away like the eccentric fleshbag he is and when he dies from drug abuse we were well aware of, we will plop his carcass in a casket of gold! and have upstanding celebrity citizens the likes of which are known racists, or tangles in murder suicides perform! it will be GLORIOUS. we will speak of him as if he was a great humanitarian, rather than a perpetually 7 year old puppet with financial advisor puppeteers. GLOR-I-OUS.
Jessie Jackson could make getting a 'brown' paper bag from a liquor store a racial issue. I bet he's got a white (or Hispanic, I'll more than likely bet) housekeeper!
However, I must say Bill O'Reilly is right about parts of MJs life which were certainly questionnable; it was even mentioned at the memorial service yesterday…
GERK,
these are the types of people that made michaels life harder
hope hes in a better place now, rest in peace mj we miss you
Not that Michael was perfect, but Bill is a douche. Ick.
Have to say, I agree with what Oreilly has to say. It's true , admit it.
Michael Jackson "hated himself" (per QUINCY JONES, HIS PRODUCER) for being "black". Duh ? All the freakiness around him…….plus spending millions on himself, while singing "We Are the World"………yeah, a total sham.
MJ was weird. He made a ton of money, spent it, and thought he was some kind of "demi-GOD". With bleached skin and plastic surgery.
Oreilly has the view of the majority of Americans: Although Michael Jackson was talented he was a pedophile and abused children.
this guys a total douche- yeh its true the media are hypocrites for glamorizing michael after he dies but his statements are completely uncalled for.
I'd like to see him try and make an impact on the world like MJ- n even if he did spend money on himself of course he would- doesnt mean he didnt help raise, encourage awareness and donate millions to great causes.
And simply because his skin lightened doesn't stop him being a black african american- I've seen dozens of cases of vitiligo and no one should judge the man before they research the diseases thoroughly.
He was a pedophile
pedo
OMG WHAT A NASTY HATER…HE JUST MUST BE A MISERABLE PERSON!
I'm not exactly O'Reilly's biggest fan, but this makes sense. Since when does disagreeing with someone's lifestyle (ie: very eccentric behavior, lavish spending, etc…) make you racist? I thought it meant you had an opinion.
Well he IS right about this… you can't deny the points he is making are GOOD ones…
well people are hipocrite.lots of people said nasty things about MJ all over this years and now call him a hero???i like him as an artist.i enver know him as a man.but i respect him.
It's Bill O'Reilly what else did you expect. Spewing hearsay as fact.
If I were black, I'd still be somewhat embarassed by Michael Jackson.
Sleeping with little boys……..bleaching his skin white……all the weird stories…….the hyperbalic chamber……….the weirdness just never ended.
I despise O'Reilly but I think he got this one right.
mouth full of TRUTH!!!
fuck you bill! fox news is a much of bullshit!!!!!!!!!!
now you guys are taking this old smelly balls' side? get a fukin grip MICHAEL JACKSON DIDNT DO SHIT. there isnt evidence, that fukin kid cried 'child molester' admited his mother told him to say that
well mr O'reilly can take a flying fuck. his humanitarian work and his donations to charity make him a hero. The color of his skin has fuck all to do with it, asshole.
No one even listens to Bill O'Reilly.
He talks shit and makes a fool of himself whenever he does or says something.
He's a big joke.
Hell freezes over–I agree with O'Reilly on something.
I never thought there would be a day that I would agree with O'Reilly. I feel a sudden urge to shower…
Did anyone watch Sean Hannity last night? His reporting was incredibly disgraceful and distasteful. Yes Michael Jackson was accused of some heinous things but they were never proved; but even more importantly is the fact that the man is dead now. The only thing that is accomplished by this ridiculous reporting is the slamming of a dead man who has left behind a grieving family. Someone who shamelessly attacks a dead man who did a lot of good in this world is trash as far as I am concerned.
I was one who didn't like him after the charges, but he was found innocent and he is the father of 3 beautiful children who didn't ask to be brought into this, hero maybe no but definately someone who will leave their mark on history
Amen. People still upset about Michael Jackson's death lack any true emotional and global perspective.
are you fucking kidding me right now?
he WOULD say all this about michael jackson.
disrepctful piece of shit
i honestly hope he dies.
ifuckinghatehimsomuch.
like, the insane hate i have for this man in unbeilevable.
I agree with Bill.
Wow, so amazing that so many people here knew him personally–so much so that they can definitively say things that only a person close to MJ would know.
i have to agree with O'Reilly
Oh really O'Reilly? What-an-idiot. Michael Jackson opted for depigmentation because he truly suffered from Vitiligo. You can see it clearly on YouTube in various clips of his face, neck, arms, fingers. Rather than appear splotchy, he opted for depigmentation. A procedure which rids the skin of its patchy color so one is left with skin that completely matches.
As for the child molestation charges, Jackson was acquitted on all 12 charges. ALL 12. Yes, he had the money for amazing lawyers, but there are money grubbing slobs out there desperate to make a million any way they can. For ALL MJ gave to this world, O'Reilly should STFU on this subject. What an ass O'Reilly is to say such shit but then, he doesn't care about scruples, as long as his arrogant ratings are up. Fucker.
I kinda get what he's saying but really, come on, the poor guy was an icon to millions and of course everyone who ever loved him is speaking their mind. He should respect the dead and let it go.
Dayum, O'Reilly owns. I'm a huge MJ fan..and yet I agree with all of the points he made..hmm?
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AGREE WITH O'REILLY'S STATMENT 1000% PERCENT!
I can't even listen to that SHIT anymore. O'REILLY IS A RACIST BASTARD. Simple.
Way too early to criticize, but some of the points he gave were pretty valid in my opinion. Sharpton and Jesse really didn't need to make him higher than high and we really did change our heart around when he died. In general, we're hypocrites and that's what the bastard is saying. As much as I hate to say it, he's correct. I love MJ's music and that's the only reason I'm mourning for him. Other than that, the media attention he's received has gone out of hand.
so right bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely agree with Bill. 100%.
I agree on everything .I'm now in love with Bill O'reilly.
Only the Jacko worshippers believe he was innocent. He did molest those kids. I wonder if more will come forward now that Jackson isnt here to throw millions down on a legal team
This is prob the only time I would agree with O'Reilly. It shouldn't be a race issue and people have to move on!
what an idiot. he was acquitted. and he settled with the previous accuser because his advisors knew that eventhough he was innocent, had he gone to trial and been acquitted then, there would still be idiots that treated him as if he was guilty. which is exactly what happened when he decided to fight the second charge in an effort to put a halt to the exploitation. he bleached his skin because he had vitiligo. it's one of the treatments. much easier to bleach out the pigment than it is to try to get the pigment back. period. and yes, he spent millions of dollars. but he also gave millions of dollars, which is much more than bill o'reilly has ever done. not even close. people should do some research before they administer such harsh judgement.
He hated being black so much he bleached his skin and tried his best to look white.
I completely agree. Just because the guy died shouldn't make him a martyr– much less honored by the Congress.
O'Reilly is an ignorant stupid fuck. Period!
Bill O'Reilly is a fucking douche bag who should keep his mouth, like his mind, closed.
One of the few times I've agreed with this sexual deviant harassing douche, on all points.
WHY DOESNT HE SHUT THE FUCK UP…
HE DOESNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT…
So what if MJ spent a lot of money on himself..HE WORKED FOR IT!
OLD MAN DOESNT KNOW SHIT
Everyone has there own opinions.
Hate Bill O'Reilly, but he has a good point. Actually a lot of good points.
Bill O'Reilly - famous for sexual harassing his much younger interns while being married. And then he or Fox bought his way out of it. Yes, he is a great one to moralize.
Sadly for the Jackson worshipers most people agree with Bill.
CALLING ALL WHITE TRASH!!! POST AWAY YOU HATEFUL BASTARD'S, AND HOPE YOU WILL MAKE IT TO SEE THE NEXT DAY BEFORE YOU GIT HIT BY A DIESEL AND SPEND YOUR USELESS ETERNITY IN THE FIERY GATES OF HELL!!!
I love Bill O'Reilly - and although he can be really blunt and opinionated; thats his job - and he shouldn't be hated on for it - it is true that although michael was greattt entertainer, there's no denying that, he did act in rather strange ways at times.. i don't think any adult male esp. should be SLEEPING WITH CHILDREN- hello, little weird right?
What a moron. It is so sad that some folks purposely act like jackasses or say things to get a rise out people. The fact of the matter is that this man is dead. People the wolrd over including his family are grieving and filled with sadness. This is a free country in which you can say whatever the hell you want but what needs to happen despite the first amendment is that he needs to have some damn respect. But you know, I guess that's the level of class we're dealing with when it comes to the republicans and the fox news chanel.
He makes a lot of good points. Michael was a great entertainer but had a lot of issues. Although, he can't really cast stones at just Michael for spending like crazy while trying urge the rest of us to donate to Africa, etc - MOST celebrities do the same shit.
Fuck him. Michael was amazing with children- he actually cared when most of the world just didn't. Fuck the haters.
good lord, what an argument!
I must say that Billy makes some damn good points. However, why bother bringing up the racial stuff. Who cares if african americans want to honour him as an african american. racist and racial are indeed different things, but i don't think that he necessarily brought blacks and whites together with his music.
Wow, I completely agree with Bill O'Reilly in all accounts. *Sigh*, I guess it's time to kill myself.
I agree with everything he said. NAMBLA is looking for a new president now.
I'm a huge MJ fan and can't stand Bill O'Reilly, but based on those quotes above, he didn't say anything really bad. Most of it's true. And I don't have sound on this computer so I can't listen for myself.
Bill O'Reilly,Perez? Him,you,& Rush are all in the same category,IDIOTS!
Bill say that Michael was selfish,spending money on himself,and singinr We Are The World!
Is he fucken kidding? Michael is in the Guiness' World Book of records as the entertainer who has given the MOST money to charity,EVER!
Even in his will,he gave 20% of his money to charity! WTF are people thinking with?
As far as his skin is concerned,his own dermatologist said Michael had that skin-pigment disease. (don't know the name)
The pedophile thing is moot. He was found innocent and even one of the accusers admitted to making it up,cos his dad told him to,for $$$$!
OMG! PLEASE,let this man REST IN PEACE!
Ok idiots, I knew mj was innocent as soon as the kids parents took the mula mj's rep gave them after the trial if I were those parents and some pervert did that to my children I would have gotten the money and throw it at thier faces and take the bastard down but those parents did not they took the money and split, that my friends is the truth those people took advantage of MJ not the other way around yes he put himself introuble by inviting those kids without thier parents present. Let the Man rest in peace already GOD Bill STFU already you ingnorent butt plug.
Re: ubergeek – Are you joking? That was a total lie..have you ever seen someone that has that disease for real? It makes their skin blotchy, not smooth and white. It was just a lame ass way to cover up that he hated his race/himself…take your pick.
As for the HYPERBARIC CHAMBER - the infamous photo was taken when he visited a burn center. After going through the horrific accident of having his hair and scalp burned from the Pepsi commercial he was filming, he decided to visit the hospital and hopped inside (fully clothed) to see what it was like. Geez, sensationalism. This is exactly the bull shit he spoke of when he said he was sick of the media sensationalizing every move he made. He speaks of the chamber to Oprah and explains the myths that circulated. YouTube it folks.
He was found NOT guilty by his pers in a court of law; does O'Reilly not beleive in the American Justice system then?
The rest is hearsay and rumours perpetuated by the media.
I enjoyed watching Michael Jackson on stage and music videos, he gave it his all. I will enjoy that and leave God to judge him now.
Re: thecleopets –
Nah,Satan thinks Bill would just take over!
I usually disagree on everything this man has to say…except on this. On Michael Jackson he and I are in total agreement. Well said.
I can't stand O'Reilly and usually what he says is dead wrong, but I have to admit he's got a point here.
Michael Jackson is black it doesn't matter how many operations he has done to alter himself. He is one of the best African American entertainers of all time enough said. O' Reilly is just an undercover racist.
awesome totally awesome im soooo fking glad he has the balls to say it Jackson was a pedophile, child molester and sicophant and so is the hilton douche
I agree on every point. It is all so clear to most people and this guy had the guts to say it.
bill o'reilly is an insensitive racist asshole and he must be stopped!
I hate the dude but, he sounds right on the money this time! Good call Bill!
while SOME of his points were correct(i do not feel that any of this should be made into a race issue as michael was loved and adorned by all types of fans not just african american), it was very inappropriate for him to make these statements just hours after his funeral because while he may feel that because michael was a superstar he has the right to comment and ridicule this whole affair HE DOES NOT. Despite the fact taht michael was a superstar first and foremost he was a father, brother, and a son. Respect those who are truly close to him and have lost him. so many things about this post make me mad. of course he is going to be glorified after he dies because that is when people truly take a step back and realize what he brought to the world of music and michael may have spent tons of money on himself in his own search for happiness but he also gave and donated A LOT MORE than oreily im sure.
i agree with him and i am liberal
O'Reilly is my single least favorite person on this Earth, HOWEVER I completely agree! Before you judge O'Reilly on what he says, you need to actually watch the video..Probably the first thing I've ever agreed with him on.
the first time i have ever agreed with o'reilly. i've got a poll on mj here, please answer:
