I understand your point of view.I'm gullible, and claim that O'Reilly didn't lie?...You forgot to add Bill O'Reilly, but I'm not surprised. You like the rest of the gullible will continue to claim that O'Reilly didn't lie....bwahaha...talk about denial. At least both Williams and Hillary have admitted and apologized for their error.....Billo the Clown? not so much...[/SIZE]
Link?
No, I said that it didn't matter a good goddamn whether O'Reilly did lie or not, because (1) it did not involve Stolen Valor -type claims in connection with American troops and American military operations and (2) the timing and frenzied feeding from the Left associated with this mark it as a mere copycat retaliation.
Get your antagonists sorted before you start dissing them, eh?
Saying it didn't matter isn't a ringing endorsement......and your pointing out of lefties that have lied clearly translates to defending the fat liar, O'Reilly. And if we're only concerned about the ones that lie in connections with American troops and American military operations, then you should have mentioned Bozo Boooooosh.........the biggest, fattest liar of them all.
Here is mine.
1. Brian Williams lied about being in (or following) a downed US helicopter and being pinned-down by enemy fire alongside US troops - confirmed and admitted.
2. Hillary Clinton lied about being under fire by enemy snipers alongside US troops - confirmed and admitted.
3. O'Reilly lied about being on the receiving end of a riot in Argentina in which the local army fired into the crowd - maybe - differing accounts - not admitted.
Case (1) = the civilian version of Stolen Valor, in connection with the people in our own armed forces.
Case (2) = the civilian version of Stolen Valor, in connection with the people in our own armed forces.
Neither of these were 'errors' - they were lies.
Case (3) = bullshitting, at worst, and possibly moot in toto, if proven untrue, and nothing to do with the people in our own armed forces.
Case (1) = mountain (Stolen Valor).
Case (2) = mountain (Stolen Valor).
Case (3) = molehill (run-of-the-mill bullshitting that does not detract from our own armed forces)
I like mine better.
