Bill O’Reilly defames our WWII troops

In his debate last night with Wesley Clark, Bill said this to prove his point:

Clark: And let me explain something. You go all the way up the chain of command

O’Reilly: General! You need to look at the Malmedy massacre in World War Two, and the 82nd Airborne who did it!

That is a flat out lie. (thanks to (Mccarthy.vg ) It was the Nazi soldiers that committed the massacre on US troops and not the 82nd Airborn on the Germans. Bill you just used false information to defame our own troops. How could you sink to a low like that just to try and prove a point in a debate. It took two minutes to discover your falsehood. I think you owe an apology to our military and every veteran who fought in WWII. How you could mix up an atrocity like that is beyond me and worst yet paint our own soldiers as being the perpetrators of one of the worst war crimes in WWII. Did you just pull it out of your---?

In case you missed it:

The media can legally lie

In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.

  • American! Instead of discussing the past of WWII and who or who may not have committed crime it is time to discuss your war crime. Your troops are f*ck*ng Nazi murders. The pictures and the reports of Iraq, Afghanistan and the torture in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Gharib are enough proof.
    So, please don’t discuss things you don’t have any knowledge, discuss your own history.

    Ridiculous!!!

    • You are an ass. If not for the US Army you or your ancestors would most likely be a lampshade. O’Reilly is dead wrong - the two of you are very much alike. MALMEDY IS OUR HISTORY. It was our soldier’s who were massacred. Screw you.

    • You, should read about real history not American propaganda! Let me guess, six pack, wife beater, American christian (...there is a difference to others) and child abuser.

      By the way what American Nazi troops did in Iraq and Afghanistan outperform any lamp shade.

  • (speaking about abu-ghraib/torture)

    Gen. Wesley Clark: Because in the United States Army that I served in proudly for 34 years, we did not beat up and torture prisoners. Just a second, Bill ---

    Bill O’Reilly: Yeah, but with all due respect, there were atrocities in Vietnam, there were atrocities in World War Two —

    Clark: Yes, and they were found, and they were punished.

    O’Reilly: — in World War One, in the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War.

    Clark: They were not condoned by the chain of command.

    O’Reilly: Yes they were!

    Clark: No they weren’t.

    O’Reilly: Lt. Calley, and Medina in Vietnam.

    Clark: They were not condoned by the chain of command, those guys were court-martialed.

    O’Reilly: You know — listen, with all due respect —

    Clark: And let me explain something. You go all the way up the chain of command —

    O’Reilly: General! You need to look at the Malmedy massacre in World War Two, and the 82nd Airborne who did it!

  • I hope you guys know that not all Americans think like Bill O’Lielly.

    I love Gen. Clark - campaigned for him - and FORCE myself to watch this assinine show just to see someone, anyone, especially Wes Clark, make SENSE on this network.

    Bill O’Lielly is an ass. Clark is a Godsend who should be president.

    Sorry guys, I tried.
