Just so you know, Bill O'Reilly's faithful stormtroopers are rallying to defend him for what he has said about the Malmedy massacre and how Fox News has reacted to it--not to mention against his exposure by the eeevul Keith Olbermann.
Here are the top ranking Bill O'Reilly Excuses:
--The transcripts that "scrubbed" this part of his show weren't produced by Fox, but by other sources--probably some college kid who confused "Malmedy" with "Normandy." (Johnny Dollar) (The independent transcript from 30 May 06 at Securing America
http://securingamerica.com/node/1047 and the one from 30 Oct 05
http://securingamerica.com/node/272 refute this.)
--Billo admitted that he misspoke and corrected what he said. (Johnny Dollar again). (No, he didn't. He said he "wasn't clear." Then he uttered some irrelevant stuff about how Americans might have killed Nazis AFTER Malmedy.)
--OK, maybe he was wrong, but Olbermann has been wrong WAY many more times. How many more? Don't know. (Johnny Dollar again) (In other words, when all else fails, lie, exaggerate, set up a straw man about the other guy.)
--Bill's point was that "atrocities occur in every war." "Sure he screwed up his facts, but his point wasn’t faulty." (Uh, yeah, right. It's no big deal to accuse Americans of a mass Nazi execution rather than vice versa. And there's just NO difference between a few rogue soldiers doing this and soldiers being commanded by their superiors to do it!
--"If you think it is faulty, you should go after the entire news media." (When all else fails, tar everyone else with the same brush.)
--"BO has never made KO one of the top five stories of the day or made him the worst person; he never goes that low." (Again, when all else fails...)
These people are disgusting. It's really true: If O'Reilly ate a live baby on his show, they'd: a) say it never happened; b) when presented with video evidence and testimony, accuse it of being doctored; c) when that didn't work, justify it and say Keith Olbermann was worse because he's killed and eaten a LOT more live babies on TV, but nobody ever talks about it.
