The Boston Herald reports that Boston rap trio East Coast Avengers’ new single, “Kill Bill O’Reilly,” whose lyrics call for the Fox News star to “be hanged like Benito Mussolini and otherwise killed,” is causing outrage among Reilly’s right-wing admirers and others, like Keith Olberman:
“Gentlemen, I’m the last person to disagree with you on the chicken hawk, lying coward, sexist, racist, needs a face-lift, whore stuff, but you really need to re-cut this track,” Olbermann said addressing the Avengers last week on his MSNBC show “Countdown.” “Nobody’s life should be threatened, not even in the hyperbole of the moment. Beside, you are rappers. You have better ethics than Bill O’Reilly does. Live up to them. Don’t live down to him. Word to your mother.”
