1. OMG!!!

That video is perfect!

He sunk his own ship with that. Needs to be shared widely.

[UTUSN]

2. R#3 & K for bwah-HAH, yes, a WAR CORRESPONDENT anywhere and everywhere!1 n/t

[Jacoby365]

3. In this video O'Reilly said he was in a war zone in the Falklands

although he denies he ever said that now. Here is the exact quote:

"I was in a situation one time in a war, ah (pause for effect) zone in Argentina in the Falklands".

[kpete]

4. denial will NO longer work for him...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

29. actually, Denial was previously hired by Roger Ailes.

And he is well practiced with how to use its strengths.

[SCVDem]

7. Page 110 of his book

The No Spin Zone.

Heard it on Stephanie Miller this morning. Thanks Mooks!

[yellowcanine]

10. Pausing "for effect" or pausing to construct the lie?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[lastlib]

32. (uh, Billo, Argentina isn't IN the Falklands--it's IN South America.......)

[underpants]

5. BillO acting like a punk. I'm so surprised I almost falafel my chair.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. I'm loofah-ing so hard right now. I may need a bathroom break. nt

[laundry_queen]

42. omfg hahahaha nt

[treestar]

15. lol

[uponit7771]

22. +1

[Dont call me Shirley]

6. Lots of head tilting, becoming more exaggerated as the liar compounds his tale.

[yellowcanine]

9. Yep - hard for Billo to explain that one away. Not that he won't try it anyway.

[Botany]

11. Now where would people get the idea that Bill O has told people he was in the Falklands?

I was involoved in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands."


No where would botany =

[George II]

13. I searched everywhere and couldn't find out when Buenos Aires was considered a "war zone"!

It was no more a "war zone" than Chicago was in 1968.

[Stuart G]

21. Just ask...Bill O'Reilly..he knows...and so does....Willy Wonka...

[Botany]

40. Maybe he was taken out of context

Or maybe not.

"I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, IN THE FALKLANDS, where my photographer got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete. And the army was chasing us. I had to make a decision. And I dragged him off, you know, but at the same time, I'm looking around and trying to do my job, but I figure I had to get this guy out of there."

[George II]

12. Interesting, in that video he said he was "in the Falklands"!

[Gothmog]

14. O'Reilly is an idiot and blowhard

The man is losing it on this issue

[barbtries]

16. what a load of crap!

omigawd.
i really, really, REALLY hope this brings the mofo down

[Stuart G]

17. K and R...What is amazing...it will never stop.

We will all need more popcorn.
Perhaps this threat will finally get him .....but I doubt it...

[Fuddnik]

18. Damn, by O'Loofa's standards, I'm a Vietnam combat veteran!

I was on the getting clubbed and tear gassed side in the protests.

I am actually a Vietnam Era Vet, but the only combat I ever saw was in DC, after I was discharged.

Now where's my medal? Other than the lumps and scars.

[libdem4life]

19. Hope this story keeps up. Love it. It's great publicity for Mother Jones. We need a modern Mother

Jones. To hell with the Right To Work For Peanuts. Unions, Yes.

[laundry_queen]

43. +1 nt

[vkkv]

20. Brian Willams NEVER THREATENED anyone!

Sue the hell out of him!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. oh YAY, the curtains go up on a POS right wing lying propagandist!!!

I have never used this emotie before, but I think now's the time...

[DeSwiss]

24. Sociopaths love to lie.

To them, it's like stealing right in front of the person. They're stealing truth from their victims. They do so almost incessantly because it gives them a thrill -- just like having sex. And they're usually fairly good at lying and rarely get caught.

However, the electronic era has changed all that. And now Bill may be undone by the very object that gives him his power and gets off his jollies: The Youtube Video.

- I hate to be the one to tell you, but if you watched that entire video, you just watched Bill O'Reilly orgasm.

K&R

[El Shaman]

27. Nice. Here's the 'clap' for Billy O

TY DeSwiss

[Skidmore]

25. He want it "to stop?"

When he hounds people on his show with lies, it never occurs to him to stop.

[El Shaman]

26. He is, soooooo full of

SHIT!

[Purveyor]

28. The evolution of 'Bill-O's' demise would be absolutely delightful IF FNC

would can his ass.

However, more than likely he will get a promotion and bump in pay.

[El Shaman]

30. Oops ! He got one already.

[knightmaar]

31. It's funny. If he'd said "I was in Argentina, during the Falklands"

And just left out the word "war" the same way Americans leave out the "war" when they talk about the Vietnam War ... well, he'd have been just fine. That's even possible it's what he meant.

[Rex]

44. Nope, he said 'in' both times so he clearly doesn't know where the Falkland Islands are.

"in a war zone in Argentina, IN THE FALKLANDS." He is doomed now, this is the start of the fall of his career. It is going to be funny watching him finally get a pink slip.

You can't walk back that kind of outlandish shit.

[sprts]

48. BUT,

We live in a Fascist Nation State - there are no standards of journalism here - the only standards that exist are for INTERNET blogs that the journos place on us.

[yuiyoshida]

33. "AND then there was this time I was on this

Whaler, with this guy named Ahab, looking for this WHITE WHALE. I was the only one who survived, and people couldn't believe it, so I was going to write this book, but this guy Herman-something heard me tell the story in a bar, and totally ripped me off!!!"

[Fumesucker]

36. <snort>

[pinboy3niner]

37. LOL!

Good one, Ishmael!

[Iggo]

41. Melville bigfooted his ass.

[RoccoR5955]

34. He's no war correspondent.

He's a WHORE correspondent.
He's also a legend in his own mind.

[JDPriestly]

35. O'Reilly typifies the self-centered, narcissism of the right-wing.

It's always about him. He can never admit that he is wrong without feeling a pang of persecution. He cannot accept criticism however justified. He is a suit of armor with a self-centered nothingness inside. Angry and mean with no ability to be compassionate or kind.

He just doesn't know what honesty, compassion or kindness are. He is a very limited being, not fully human. And the saddest thing is that he has not yet recognized it. He can't say "Sorry. I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me." That would reveal that he is human. And to be human is to be weak and fallible. His whole world would fall apart if he dropped his narcissism. There is nothing else there. His voice is one long whine.

[LiberalEsto]

38. As a former anti-war protester from those days, I have to point out

that a lot of the violence that took place during those peace marches was done by hired instigators in order to discredit the anti-war movement. I personally witnessed an ABC News camera crew directing several people dressed like hippies who were pretending to fight one another in New York's Central Park.

[gregcrawford]

39. O'Reilly has always been a liar...

... an egotistical blowhard, and a bully. It's a shame it took this long for people to realize what a total piece of shit he really is. But then, that's why Roger Ailes hired him; to peddle lies to mental defectives. I doubt Pox News will do anything to him... unless he starts to cost them advertisers. Then Billy-boy is vulture vomit.

[Midnight Writer]

46. Exactly right, but...

He has millions of slack-jawed, ignorant followers and he owns the biggest microphone in cable news.

I predict this will not only fail to damage him, but will enhance his position as his viewers "Rally 'Round the O'Reilly".

[Thespian2]

45. Did anyone

mention that a O'Really? is the poster boy for Liars, Inc. (FUCX "NEWS)?

[Jamastiene]

47. His head is going to explode.

The meltdown is going to be epic.

[deutsey]

49. Although I hope this brings down this gaseous windbag,

I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

Brian Williams, yes. The VA guy, possibly. But not a right-wing blowhard like BillO.

Look at the drug (and possible creepy sex) stories about Limbaugh from years ago. Yet, that festering boil on the ass of humanity still spews his hate and ignorance.

Bush may have been wildly unpopular when he finally left the White House, the country, and much of the world in shambles from his lies and toadying for the wealthy, but Clinton was the one impeached (and I'm no Clinton fan...but his impeachment was ridiculous).

I know there are right-wingers who have imploded since Reagan, but the track record seems to be in favor of the BillOs and Limbaughs and Bushes of this country.

[Nitram]

50. What strikes me about this clip is how O'Reilly...

...works so hard to insert his own (manufactured) story about his "heroism" into another reporter's interview on the Boston bombing. It's all about Bill, all the time.
