Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has been criticizing Rosie O’Donnell over her blog post repeating a 9/11 conspiracy theory.

O’Reilly declared that “you can’t allow” someone to “make anti-American remarks…accusing your own government of murder.” He called claims that the U.S. government acted in a criminal way “irresponsible and dangerous.”

Too bad for O’Reilly, tapes from his days on the Peabody Award-winning Inside Edition are still floating around.

Watch below as O’Reilly spreads the JFK conspiracy theory that the CIA secretly supported assassin Lee Harvey Oswald:

Digg It!

Transcript:

Bill O’Reilly, 4/2/07:

O’REILLY: The problem, once you get into an area where you are spreading propaganda, OK, which is where she is with the 9/11 conspiracy… See, you can’t allow someone like that to go on and make anti-American remarks, in which they are, accusing your own government of murder, of putting people in harm’s way and then have nothing else to balance it.

…
O’REILLY: Well, Ms. O’Donnell and her radical pals are basically telling the world the USA is a criminal nation … O’Donnell and actor Charley Sheen are also peddling the 9/11 conspiracy theory that the attack on the World Trade Center was an inside job. Never mind that nonsense has been debunked by “Popular Mechanics” using scientific evidence that is beyond dispute.

2. What kind of TV network would give airtime to Conspiracy Crackpots?

On Thursday, February 15th 2001 (and replayed on March 19), the Fox TV network aired a program called ``Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?'', hosted by X-Files actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!). According to them, NASA did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon, but pressure due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union forced them to fake it.
