Olberman talking about lies of Bill O'Lielly (echoes of Joe McCarthy) NOW>

1. Fox scrubbed Bills comments from Web--but now changed it back once

Keith called them on it.

[rodeodance]

3. Keith wants an apology --for the troops he slammed (WW II troops).

[Catch22Dem]

2. Again?

Didn't he just call O'Liely out on something about a WWII massacre he got completely backwards? Did o'Liely respond to that?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

4. He said that it was Americans AFTER Malmedy.

Killing in revenge. But that didn't happen.

After liberating the camps, I could have understood if we didn't take SS prisoners (I'll admit that I probably wouldn't have).

It would have been understandible if he really got it backward and apologized - someone who "supports the troops" should fall over himself apologizing. But you don't have to do that if you're always right and never wrong. Wish Clark could have called him out on it.

However to flatly get history wrong, then try to fix it by saying you were right, but just not about the details makes me sick. That and the transcripts of the Mackris calls. :-)

12. that was b. o. trying to cover his butt (lied to cover his lie)!! a email

er had written to correct b. o. then bill said the lie you have in your subject line.

[rodeodance]

5. the new news is that Fox put back up the original quote.

[rodeodance]

bill o. had rather dissmissed the recent massacure by US troops and

brought up the ww ii incident to show that it happens in all wars (but got it wrong-on purpose).

[MadMaddie]

11. Yea...but the bigger problem is 2 years ago O'Leilly used the same

German massacre incident while interviewing General Clark ...General Clark corrected him then...he was too lazy to verify the truth...and so he intentionally told the same lie....

[rodeodance]

15. yes, i recall that segment--last Fri (or Thrusday).

[tridim]

10. So they put up the original, incorrect quote?

What good does that do?

[rodeodance]

14. it is to show that b. o. LIED again to cover his First LIE. --he responded

to the email by saying it was NORMANDY!

[Nimrod2005]

6. He is great, isn't he?

[LSK]

7. "even Al Franken has been to Iraq 3 times"

He should get his butt over there.

Paul Rieckhoff

[rodeodance]

9. that was a good one. come on Billy boy--get your butt over to Iraq!

[rodeodance]

8. a irag vet. is on who says b. o. owes all the troops an apology.

[dogman]

13. This was not just a BO lie, more likely a GOP talking point.

This line was used this weekend by Pat Buchanan and Duncan Hunter. Although they did state the events following Malmedy. It was still irellevant as Clark pointed out, because Haditha was about the murder of civilians.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Yeah, like the German "Werewolf" insurgents who killed all those American

occupation G.I.s after WWII (talking point actually used by Rummy to try to explain how Iraq occupation was the same, except where no GI's were killed by any "werewolves".)
