That's strange because when he was discussing it with Gen. Wesley Clark, the day before he told his audience that he was talking about something other than Malmedy, he said this of the Malmedy Massacre:

"In Malmady, as you know, U.S. forces captured S.S. forces who had their hands in the air and they were unarmed and they shot them down. You know that. That‘s on the record. Been documented."

It's obvious that he lied about what really happened on December 17, 1944; it was our American soldiers who were captured, then executed by the SS, not the other way around as Bill-O claimed. O'Reilly even tried to save face by telling a viewer, who had E-mailed him about this little historical error, that he was talking about events that may have occurred AFTER Malmedy, not what happened AT Malmedy(Even though his earlier interview with Clark proved otherwise.). Anyone who watched his program the day before, or anyone who saw this video could easily tell that he was trying to squirrel his way out of apologizing or at least correcting himself for making a blatant historical error in order to justify his positions on Abu Gharib and Haditha. That little incident and the fact that Fox News tried to cover up his lies by doctoring the transcript to make it look like he was talking about Normandy, only makes things worse for Bill-O and his credibility (Or lack thereof.).

He lied about Malmedy on a Tuesday and tried to lie about what he said the very next day, Bill-O seems to severely underestimate the memory capacity of his viewers.

You can spin it any way you like. This is the direct quote that Olbermann used on the video earlier in this thread.

" In the heat of the debate with Geneal Clark my statement wasn't clear enough, Mr. Caldwell. AFTER MALMADY, SOME GERMAN CAPTIVES WERE EXECUTED BY AMERICAN TROOPS."

PS: It was the right answer!
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests".
Alexander Hamilton, 1787 (After the Constitutional Convention)

"An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health".
Planned Parenthood, 1963

And you completely ignore what he said to Clark the day before, and you say that I'm trying to spin this?

Again this is what O'Reilly said about Malmedy @ 3:58 into the video:

In Malmady, as you know, U.S. forces captured S.S. forces who had their hands in the air and they were unarmed and they shot them down. You know that. That‘s on the record. Been documented.


Doesn't get much clearer than that. Speaking of which, O'Reilly was pretty calm and collected when he said this, he wasn't in the heat of debate or anything like that. He wasn't in a fit of rage like he was when he went into a debate with Geraldo over immigration a few months ago. He lied then tried to cover up his lie with another lie.

EDIT: Oh yes it was the right answer, if you're pathetically trying to get out of having to admit your mistakes.

Even if he was telling the truth (which he wasn't, let's try not to give a sensationalist the title of journalist) he completely ignored the fact that far more innocent Americans were killed by the S.S. in Malmedy. He can't possibly have missed that little tidbit. He's trying to cover his missteps.

Here's O'Reilly "in the heat of the debate". It gets really good about halfway into the video.

I've seen that one, and I hate them both, but Geraldo is right. I agree 100% that background checks are necessary and should be more widespread, but O'Reilly is just making a cheap point out of an issue which applies more to drunk driving.

So far, I've given you "Bill-O: The Historical Revisionist", "Bill-O: The Angry Whiner", and now I present unto you all, "Bill-O: Threatening his Radio Callers for saying 'Keith Olbermann'!" (Yes the title needs work...) Enjoy!
