You flatter yourself, McG - you're just so consistently wrong that it actually saves you from total uselessness as a participant - it makes you amusing as hell.
Anyway, in deference to the launch post subject matter, here are some other lies of gasbag O'Reilly:
"I understand working-class Americans" is one of O'Reilly's recurring lines. "I'm as lower-middle-class as they come". His father, he says, "never earned more than $35,000 a year in his life". In reality, while the O'Reillys were not rich, the father was a fairly well-paid oil company executive, and $35k then would be roughly $100,000 a year today. The O'Reilly kids went to private schools, and O'Reilly's father paid his tuition to a private college.
"I'll tell you what. I've been in combat. I've seen it, I've been close to it... and if my unit is danger, and I've got a captured guy, and the guy knows where the enemy is, and I'm looking him in the eye, the guy better tell me. That's all I'm gonna tell you. The guy better tell me. If it's life or death, he's going first." O'Reilly was never in the military.
On CBS' Late Show with David Letterman, Bill O'Reilly resurrected his false claim that a Wisconsin elementary school banned the singing of the Christmas hymn "Silent Night," erroneously attributing the school's changed lyrics to political correctness. In fact, the new lyrics were merely part of a 1988 Christmas play called The Little Tree's Christmas Gift. Later in the interview, Letterman admonished O'Reilly, asserting, "I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap."
An O'Reilly lie about Christmas:
O'REILLY: "In Saginaw, Michigan, the township opposes red and green clothing on anyone. [Laughing] In Saginaw Township, they basically said, anybody, we don't want you to wear red or green. I would dress up head to toe in red to green if I were in Saginaw, Michigan."
False. Saginaw township issued a statement flatly denying this ridiculous accusation and noting that the township hall has red and green christmas lights on it as well.
...there are others - dozens of others. The man is a lying sack of excrement. And those who try to defend him, either straight-up -with some courage, or surreptitiously and chickehsh*t like McG, aren't any better.
