From The Baltimore Sun

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly last night continued his hip hop-themed debate series — this time against Lupe Fiasco, the influential Chicago rapper who recently called President Barack Obama the country’s “biggest terrorist.”

After losing (in my estimation) to comedian Jon Stewart in a recent debate over rapper Common’s invitation to a White House poetry reading, O’Reilly was ready to redeem himself last night — and he sort of did that.

“We’re used to irresponsible statements from rappers, but that’s really over-the-top,” O’Reilly said of Lupe’s comments.

So, after ripping Obama over the contrived Common controversy, O’Rellly now found himself defending Obama. O’Reilly and Lupe then engaged in a back-and-forth in which each talked over the other. Lupe said he was OK with Osama bin Laden’s death, but remains opposed to the war in Afghanistan.
