I have a better idea. I'd rather put a gun to my head.

Apparently reading isn't your strong suit. OLietome, told the big whopper once. Got flak for it. Then, knowing it wasn't true, told it a 2nd time.

Obviously that's not sinking in with you.

That is a lie. You can't polish a turd.

But I know you'll keep trying.

Quote:
He said Malmedy was perpetrated by US soldiers, which he recanted = again refer to the above definition = if he wished to deceive he would have left as such - OR - continued to tell the tale.
He recanted only after getting his ass handed to him a 2nd time.

But hey, feel free to revise history.


Quote:
What he said was that he was wrong and that he was referring to US soldiers who committed atrocities after the malmedy incident. see Duchau massacre -
--

Oh so apologizing for telling a bold faced lie means it wasn't a lie? Nice pretzel logic there.

Quote:
I would love to hear your response --- how 'Bout an 'LOL' or a 'ROTFL' or some other sort of smarmy repsonse - that seems all you are capable of putting forth.
As opposed to completely ignoring the facts?

LMAO indeed.

They are all vastly different from one another so you can't group them together. Bill O'reilly is well spoken and a centrist. He is not a right wing nut job like Beck. O'reilly, for example, dismissed the birthers and properly stated that birthers undermine conservatives and the Republican party.

I like Bill O'reilly and Lou Dobbs.

I say again - tell me in that statement where he 'lied' - should I define it for you again? or will you continue to cheapen the word by using it incorrectly?

Again, Dachau had absolutely nothing to do with what O'Reilly was talking about. He either told an outright lie about American soldiers murdering Nazi SS troops at Malmedy or he is so pig ignorant as to be beyond belief.

I'm guessing he's a liar, but I suppose it's possible he is just simply unbelievably stupid.

Actual atrocities didn't occur with great frequency on 'all sides', as you state. There were instances where individual soldiers or small groups lost control in the heat of battle and committed things that we would consider war crimes in the cold light of peace time. There is nothing that in any way modifies the long litany of war crimes committed by German SS units - including the Malmedy massacre.

Again, I don't understand why either Reilly or his supporters persist in this trashing of American soldiers. I just don't get it.

It's not fair to lump all these commentators together. Bill O'Reilly is not a psychotic right wing conservative nut job like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh. Bill O'Reilly may be personally conservative, but he doesn't have the negative prissy attitudes like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh.

I seem to recall a whole lot of conservatives with their collective asses in the air over Murtha's comments...

Sigh...

I dont think he really is especially conservative. He certainly doesnt have any class or honor, which I think a truly good (conservative or liberal) commentator should have.... He doesnt seem as smart as Limbaugh or as... natural as Beck, who seems to be a sort of savant... but he does speak to that disgruntled older middle-manager in the traffic jam, I think. OTOH he gets War on Christmas duty every year and those MM folks seem brighter than that, so I dont know.
