Why did Bill O'Reilly rip into Sarah Palin over her daughters pregnancy?

Question

This seems a little harsh:

On the pinhead front, 17-year-old Bristol Palin is pregnant. The sister of Bristol says she is shocked. I bet.

Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Willow Palin. Look at the way she behaves.

Calm down Bill!

Answer 1

Don't take the "pin head" comment out of context.  From him, it is a light hearted tease. (or can be)

I don;t totally discount your comparison to Brittney Spears, but the differences far outweigh the similarities.

Britney Spears is a mess, pure & simple.  

And there is plenty more history there to indicate a dysfuctional family than just an unplanned pregnancy.

Britnney's early videos were more like soft p**n that what you would expect from a 16 yr old.

Now Britney has given up custody of her child.

That is a very weak comparison.

Answer 2

You did a good job of showing the hypocrisy of the right. Quick to attack a perceived liberal in the Spears family, they are more like redneck cons, but hey. Now we see them defend Palin's daughter and consequences.

I won't vote for McCain Palin. Not because the daughter is pregnant, but because Republicans don't deserve another 4 years of s******g America.

Answer 3

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha

Answer 4

Way to reword the article to your liking.

Answer 5

Bill O'Reilly is an entertainer, not a political leader; just like the hollywood crowd. Get a laugh or two, but not political advice from any of them.

Answer 6

O'Reilly has always struck me as the voice of the right wing, and to here what was said was a bit of a shocker. The girl is pregnant. Its' sad, but hey...in democratic homes as well as republican homes, mistakes happen. Was it alapsee in judgement on her part not using protection? Sure. Was it something to be bashed by a media person justbecausee of who her mom is? No. I like O'Reily, even when i dont agree with him. I just think this one was out of bounds.

Answer 7

HAHAHA!

I thought h**l had frozen over... but it all makes sense now.

Answer 8

Sarah Palin is spelled Sarah Palin Lynne Spears is spelled Lynne Spears.

Now if you look closely you might be able to tell that those are not the same person.  

Answer 9

bill was upset that when he called to tell bristol his fantasy about showering with her, sarah took the phone and hung up on him!
