It is the nature of the attack and the level of discourse that determines if the attack is warranted.

Is it a proper "response" to insult someone in a rap song after Bill O'Reilly says that a performer's songs are profane and being marketed to kids?

How about being invited on Tax Payer supported NPR's Fresh Air to talk about his book and never once being asked a question about his book in over an hour's time? Bill has used Terry Gross's interview of Al Franken as a counterpoint to the agressive treatment he was given.

I am not a Bill O'Reilly fan but where do you see hypocrisy in this? Or do you just like to complain?

Sure it is.It's called "free artistic expression"; something you seem to have a problem with, whether it's rap songs or nude sculptures.

Thankfully, we have a First Amendment which protects artists from moralistic busybodies who would censor them

O'Reilly is an overblown ego who wants to dish it out but can't take it
