13. I REALLY thought ...
He was going to end it by flat calling him a jackass ...

You know, it is humorous the way that KO makes a living off of this clown ... As he said, it is a never ending gift to him ... BUT, the whole conservative blather, about how they are true patriots who "support the troops" and everyone else is a communist sympathizer ... Every now and then, it just has to get the best of a guys like KO, that jagoffs like O'Reilly hi-jack the high ground and do their condecending, sanctimoneous hate EVERYONE other than a red blooded bush butt sniffer act ...

11. Key point.
It's not just that Wild Bill is wrong, wrong, wrong on the issue. But Fox "News" goes back and CHANGES the transcript? Unreal.

26. One of those troops may have been my uncle
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 11:29 AM by StopThePendulum
I know my uncle's plane was shot down by Nazis during WWII, and he was murdered execution style, but I'm not sure which battle it was. If I find out my uncle Peter was massacred at Malmady, I will personally choke O'Liely!!! This is personal!!:grr:

15. Been watching it for 6 years....
Actually, I haven't watched Faux News in years at my house. If I go to a bar/restaurant and they have it on, I ask them to change it before I even order a drink.

17. Yea, as a WWII buff, I'm trying to figure that one out
What the hell is he talking about; "No, not that massacre, the one after it."

Jeesh. You have to wonder if the guy has EVER read a history book in his life.

Oh, there were a few reprisals (individual acts) after Malmedy, but they were of enemy soliders, not men in wheelchairs and babies. Apples and Oranges even if it were true.

19. also said it was the 82nd
wrong

Normandy - no killing of unarmed surrendering SS troops there either. So even the cleaning is wrong.

jerk.

yes, there were incidents when Allied troops were liberated the concentration camps, but jeepers, who is going to blame them? stinking BO?

23. Wait a minute..................BO might be right, actually
You see there WAS a group of German soldiers killed AFTER surrendering to the 82nd in the early morning hours of D-Day. Steven Ambrose mentions it in several of his books, including one called Band of Brothers. There Ambrose attributed it to "battlefield rumors that may or not be true", if I recall correctly.

But where it is more prominent is in the HBO series by that same name: Band of Brothers*. There was a long scene where one NCO 82nd trooper hands out a pack of smokes to a group of POWs and then mows them down with a Thompson.

That's where he got the idea............from watching HBO!!!!!!!!!!

See he's right; it's well documented! :sarcasm:



(*Great flick, really gives you an idea of what the boots on the ground went through.)

22. Typical FOX tactic: Just say it and OUR viewers will believe you.
They know damn well that they create reality for the average FOX dittohead viewer and that is all that matters. This is the information that the dittoheads carry to the polls with them and vote accordingly.

24. This was the single greatest reprimand of O'Lielly
that I have ever heard of! :applause: Keith was poised, articulate, factual, and livid as hell! That was one journalist calling another on the carpet for blatant lies and misinformation. :applause: :woohoo: I was thoroughly riveted to the TV as I watched Keith rip O'Lielly a new one... Way to go, Keith! :woohoo:
