Petition: Demand a retraction from Bill O'Reilly about the Malmedy Massacr

In a debate with Wesley Clark on his "news" show, The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly once again falsely claimed that American forces perpetrated a massacre of SS soldiers at Malmedy, France, during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. Nothing could be further from the truth - in fact, Nazi SS soldiers murdered unarmed American soldiers from the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion in that massacre. This is the second time that O'Reilly has made this outrageous and false claim - he said much the same thing after the images of Abu Ghraib were released.

We, the undersigned, demand a retraction and apology to all family and friends of the men from the 285th who died that cold December morning so long ago. Further, we demand an apology to every member of the US armed forces, and the American people generally. If O'Reilly continues to slander our troops, his advertisers should be boycotted until his show is canceled.
