'Rewriting History': Famed WWII historian Bill O'Reilly smears yet another Allied hero
For some time now, Bill O'Reilly has been so desperate to prove that the Bush administration's use of extreme tactics in the "war on terror" -- including torturing detainees and killing civilians -- that he's even been willing to smear the memories of American veterans of World War II to make that point. Last night on his Fox News show, he added Winston Churchill to the list of smear victims.
We all remember the Malmedy smear, for which O'Reilly has never either apologized or corrected the record:
In Malmedy, as you know, U.S. forces captured S.S. forces who had their hands in the air and were unarmed and they shot them dead, you know that. That's on the record. And documented."
O'Reilly in fact had it completely reversed: At Malmedy, it was American troops who were massacred by SS guards, not the other way around.
Not only did O'Reilly never correct the insulting gaffe, a year later he repeated it:
In Malmedy, as you know, U.S. forces captured SS 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. In Iwo Jima, the same thing occurred. Japanese attempted to surrender, and they were burned in their caves.

Sarah always looking for headlines called Carrie Miss California with support after her speech on gays. Only Sarah now wishes she hadn't made that call. Yes Sarah always the Mother with advice and guidence for young woman. Now Sarah has to deal with the fact of Carrie's nude photo's and her parents excusing each other of being gay. Something is really wrong with these people it's like Satan is large and in charge.

I remember when Bill O'Lielly made his mistake last time and Keith took him to task, he NEVER admits his mistakes. imho, O'Reily ranks right up there with Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Palin, Cheney. Stink-eye to all of them!
