O'Liely getting bitch slapped by Keith O. re. Wes Clark

[Auntie Bush]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. The topic is actually the Malmedy massacre in WWII, not Clark,

although Clark had been DildO'Reilly's guest both times DildO got it wrong. Pretty amazing rant, though. Faux News sanitized the transcript, as well. KO called BillO "the Sisyphus of morons," -- "a false patriot who would rather be loud than right." Heckuva rant. I think KO has gone beyone merely making fun of BIllO; I think he really hates his guts. He was sure outraged about this.

8. I'm lost. What happened? What did O'Reilly say? What did Clark say?

Thanks!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. O'Lielly said American soldiers had massacred some German soldiers

at Malmedy in WWII, apparently in some lame attempt to justify Haditha (like, yeah, we do this all the time). In fact, at Malmedy the Germans massacred a group of American soldiers. BillO said this during two separate interviews with Clark. I don't know whether Clark tried to correct him because KO ended the clip before Clark's response. I'm guessing BillO just hollered over him or changed the subject. We might not ever know because apparently Faux has scrubbed the transcript (unless there's video somewhere).

24. Thank you!!! n/t

30. He did...

General Wesley Clark: I say that, first of all, you'll have to show me and prove to me that there were ever any American soldiers in Belgium and Normandy or in Iwo Jima who murdered civilians. Secondly, I think you're too low when you say 95% of the forces are performing effectively. I'd say 99.5% of the forces are performing effectively, maybe higher. But when you have incidents like this, and you have chains of command under enormous stress, that is an indicator that things aren't going right. You've got to be sensitive to those indicators. You've got to fix the problem, otherwise it's going to get worse.

But, Keith was not only pissed about O'Lielly's dissing of our troops, making up history and then trying to run and hide from what he said, Keith was also mad - and made mention - of O'Lielly's attempt to dress down a four-star general (he sang Clark's praises)... so the OP wasn't really all that off.

P.S. - Here's the video of O'Lielly and Clark: http://securingamerica.com/node/1047

[PublicWrath]

31. That's just the way it went. Clark was flabbergasted and

when he tried to discuss it, O'Really bulldozed him.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

53. Why is Clark on O'Liely?

And if he's getting bulldozed it makes even less sense.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. Clark wasn't bulldozed. He never is.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

56. Ok.

But why is he on O'Liely?

[indie_voter]

20. oops, never mind. I'm watching the video on crooks&liars. n/t

[la la]

22. Excellent

just EXCELLENT job by Keith----

And it was jaw-dropping. I'm waiting for the next shoe to jaw-drop.

[Sparkly]

35. KO did relate the outrage of it to O'Reilly lecturing the General, though.

He began by describing General Clark, complete with footage, to point out the absurdity of O'Reilly lecturing a 4-star general on ANY of this.

(That's something that's frequently made me laugh and scream, sometimes simultaneously. My favorite was when O'Leilly tried to dismiss the General and Clark responded, "I'm telling you what I know as a military guy." O'Leilly countered, "Yeah, well here's what I know as a political analyst." A what?!? Oh, well then -- we're so impressed!!)

[LittleClarkie]

46. Could O'Reilly have been mistaken, meant to say POW's

and been making the point that if the enemy could do it, so could we? Just as heinous an assertion, mind you. But it makes so little sense the other way.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

47. Nope. He had plenty of opportunity to clarify his remarks.

Once he was notified he was just plain wrong, he lied and then they scrubbed the transcript.

[LittleClarkie]

48. Hence what Franken said about him

and the "Oh REALLY" Factor.

Shmuck.

[PublicWrath]

54. Faux sanitized the transcript of the first time he said it, too.

3. Great job by KO.

[Wetzelbill]

4. yeah, he whipped some ass

that was a serious beatdown.

[joeprogressive]

5. holy s***, he just ended BOR

What was that 10 minutes of pure unadulterated bitch slapping?

[Pirate Smile]

12. I wish he had but Faux has no shame. Lying is A-OK with them.

[silverweb]

7. Keith is righteously pissed!

What I wanted to see was video General Clark's response when O'Leilly said that this time!

[Totally Committed]

17. For the video, go here:

[silverweb]

58. Thank you!

[NI4NI]

9. KO slammed him hard

especially his ending line.

[LostInAnomie]

10. Damn, I don't think I've ever heard KO go after a person like that before.

Ol' Falafel is going to be walking funny tomorrow.

[C_U_L8R]

11. That was RIVETTING televison

Keith was channelling Murrow...
and it was so freakin' inspired.
WOW

[joeprogressive]

13. Hey Fox, you can scrub your transcipts clean of BOR's lies

but I just happened to tape the episode b/c I heard Clark was going to put O'Reilly in his placec. Now KO just KO'd him big time. Booooooooyaaaeahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Old and In the Way]

14. Wow, that was the most pissed I've seen KO.

How's the Chief Spinner going to explain this? Bill. you've been called out for your lies. Will you own up and do the responsible thing....or are you going to weasel out?

[nashville_brook]

15. let us know when video is posted somewhere!

for us non-TV luddites...

[rosesaylavee]

38. Video link here from CanoFun

[nashville_brook]

44. woohoo! thanky!

[Sparkly]

16. That was phenomenal. nt

[Va Lefty]

19. Awesome!!

Called Bill a "false patriot" and someone who "would rather be loud than right". Closed by saying " the dead Americans at Malmedy deserve better than O'Reilly. We all do."

[LittleClarkie]

21. FEED THE CUBICAL MONKEYS!!

Details people details!

[imax2268]

23. That's my BOY...!

Way to go Keith O...!!!

He straight up Bitch SLAPPED O'Lielly over his mentioning of US Soldiers getting murdered in WW2...Bill got it fucking wrong...TWICE...didn't offer any apology, FUX News scrubbed the transcripts and he tried to back peddle...

BILL O'LIELLY GOT OWNED...!

Way to go Keith Olberman...!!!

(On edit for the cube rats...) Orielly and Clark were talking sometime last year about something going on in Iraq...not sure about what that was, so Orielly brought up about a massacre in WW2 committed by US Troops...so now they were talking about Haditha and Olielly did it again...brought up the same shit he started last year...and he got it wrong again...it was the Germans who killed 84 unarmed US soldiers...

Keith pointed out that Orielly offered no apology, he pointed out that Orielly tried to back peddle, and he pointed out that Faux News scrubbed their transcripts...Keith was hot and really laid into falafel boy...

If you can catch a re-run of it in the morning...do check it out...he really gives it to O'Lielly...

[Auntie Bush]

26. I'm sorry I couldn't post more for those that didn't see the slap-down.

Unfortunately I had company who were just leaving and I didn't get the details well enough to relate them. Just happened to see Wes Clark arguing with BO and wanted to give you all notice so you could watch it for yourself.

I can't wait for the transcript!
I hope someone will post a link.

[Jane Austin]

27. Those people over at Fox don't hesitate to trash our military, what 3 days

after Memorial Day and all it's devotion to dead soldiers.

They wrap themselves in the flag, and don't care who they trash - - soldiers, patriots, religious leaders - - as long as it gives them a vehicle to trash a Democrat.

They are beneath contempt and, like the Congressional Republicans, clearly care nothing about this country.

They only care about being right.

[Sparkly]

32. Makes you wonder what it takes for them to FIRE somebody, doesn't it?

Seems to me Billo has passed the line so, so many times over it's absurd that he's still got a microphone.

[BillZBubb]

28. Give O'Lielly a break!

He was right--HIS SIDE DID THE KILLINGS AT MALMEDY! The SS: Bill's a big fan.

[IndianaGreen]

29. More like getting reamed a new ass hole

Olbermann was also pissed at Faux for changing the transcript to cover O'Reilly's ass.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

37. Can o Fun has KO up NOW!

http://www.canofun.com/cof/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1...

You can watch the whole thing. Thanks, liveoaktx!

[4nic8em]

40. Thank you for this video...

another brick has been dislodged from the empire of this pompous, self righteous, full of shit BOR. I am enjoying a long overdue sense of vengeance watching Keith tear this bastard's house apart one brick at a time. Keith is constantly challenging and exposing this "journalist" for the bigot he really is. I just love seeing Bill getting his lying ass kicked.

[Doctor_J]

49. Does Stewie Griffin always do the bumper voice-overs for KO?

that's him introducing the O'Really clip.

[joeprogressive]

39. K/R

n/t

[tinfoilinfor2005]

41. Did this happen at the beginning or the end of the show?

I would stay up for the midnight rerun if Keith's meltdown occurs in the first half hour, but I can't do ten to one a.m. I would be dying tomorrow.

[notadmblnd]

42. it was 3rd on the countdown

nt

[killerbush]

43. It was the third segment

[Berry Cool]

45. Yeah. Well worth staying up for to enjoy in all its glory.

But if it's late where you are and you can't, record it, or tune in or record at 9 AM ET tomorrow.

I haven't seen Keith this angry since his post-Katrina rant, in which he essentially handed all the levels of government respnsible for THAT catastrophe their heads on a silver platter.

[Mz Pip]

50. I don't think I've ever seen KO so pissed

BillO has been kind of a a chew toy for Keith. It's been fun trashing him, making him Worst Person in the World.

KO took it to a whole new level tonight. BillO isn't just a chew toy anymore. He's a loud mouth bastard who has disgraced our troops.

Rather be loud than right. That is BillO. Big time.

And thanks to KO I got the nerve to respond to this piece of crap email I got.



<<I'm proud to send this one........

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE! , WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up or GET OUT!!!

If you agree, pass this on, if not delete.

I AGREE !!!!>>

I can't copy the truck with the big flag and the stupid bumpersticker that is basically a Love it or leave it statement.

So my reply was:

Blind allegiance to failed leadership is not patriotic. And I'm not going anywhere.

I usually delete this crap. This time I didn't. Thank you Keith.

[Doctor_J]

51. O'Reilly is a piece of human filth who should be drafted

and sent to Baghdad NOW with a rifle and some sub-standard body armor. What a lying piece of shit.

[joeprogressive]

52. Usually KO has fun mocking O'Reilly

but this was a much more serious and pissed off tone. And it was completely warranted.

[Cell Whitman]

57. O'really INTENTIONALLY deceives his viewers - link proof

as if you needed more proof ... here it is...if FOX wasn't a full blown Pravda Propaganda Network he would have been shit canned for this...

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/07/19/141...

Georgetown Law School professor David Cole describes how Bill O'Reilly deliberately cut out a recorded statement from the head of the 9/11 Commission to mislead his audience about links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda
