Except that I didn't care, moron.
You don't care? Now you are being honest. Bill lies. you a and all of the other FOX sheep DO NOT CARE. You have gotten used to FOX falsehoods and fabrications. I guess you figure that even though you know it is a lie, if FOX says it is true.....well, it should be. You are like the guy who continues to cheat on his wife and justifies it by saying....."she does not understand me..." Yup, you are addicted to Lies.
Oh, fer Crissakes, give it a rest already.
I bet you weren't saying that when Faux News and conservatives were having a time critizing Brian Williams for his lies. At least Brian Williams admitted and apologized, but Bill O'Reilly doubled down and threatened those that exposed his lies. Quite a difference in ethics.....
Frankly, I really didn't give a frog's fat ass about Brian Williams, either...
But, now that the Left has lost one of it's mouthpieces (Williams, on NBC)...
The copy-cat attacks - a glaringly-obvious and lame-ass attempt to take-out one of the Right's mouthpieces (O'Reilly, on Fox) - are downright comical...
Never mind that the Lefties have to dig much deeper and to stretch much further and to fluff-up and inflate the nature of O'Reilly's own supposed bullsitting, in order to manufacture an artificial equivalency... one that really doesn't hold-up under a closer scrutiny, with respect to severity or impact, by the way...
This latest happy horseshit about being on-the-premises at the time of a suicide, nearly 40 years ago, is the stuff of high-comedy... I sense an HBO stand-up comedy skit in there someplace, poking fun at the idjit Lefties whose hopes to 'assassinate' O'Reilly now hinge upon such idiocy...
But let's get back to the real gist of the matter... Brian Williams war-claims versus Bill O'Reilly's war-claims, and what this all means, and how this all plays out in the grander scheme of things...
If-and-when O'Reilly engaged in bullshitting about his coverage of the Falklands War, at least he was not engaging in
Stolen Valor hyperbole, in connection with our own boys and girls in our own armed forces...
If-and-when O'Reilly engaged in bullshitting about his coverage of the Falklands War, at least he was doing no more than falsely claiming that he was present in a combat zone, and falsely claiming that he was present at a riot or mob-scene in Buenos Aires in which the Argentine Army fired into a crowd, right?
Hell, I haven't even examined the veracity of the Mother Jones claims, and, again, I really don't give a rat's ass if they're true or not...
But even if they ARE true...
The attack on O'Reilly is tainted forevermore by its suspect timing... if this was not merely a partisan copycat drive-by attempt at character assassination, why were these claims not brought to light long
before the Williams' disgrace unfolded? Even if it's all true, the timing largely cancels-out their veracity. Anyone with a lick of common sense realizes that it's merely a case of sour grapes and a lame-assed attempt at counter-punching to offset this loss by the Left.
Lefties aren't fooling anybody, in this regard.
And, even if those claims about O'Reilly ARE true...
Claims about being in a combat zone, and claims about being in a crowd during a riot, are one goddamned
hell of a long ways from claiming that he was embedded with American troops in a helicopter that was shot down, or that he was in a chopper that was right behind a helicopter that was shot down, and that he spent a long time behind enemy lines, pinned down by enemy fire, right alongside our own troops...
THAT is the stuff of Stolen Valor...
A
FAR more heinous and despicable offense, in the eyes of most American military personnel and American veterans of the armed forces, and, thus, by extension, in the eyes of the American People at-large...
Got it, now?
In the grand scheme of things... assuming that both Williams and O'Reilly were bullshitting... on a scale of 1 to 10... with 10 being the ultimate in despicable lying...
Williams' offense registers as a solid 8 or 9...
O'Relly's offense registers as a wishy-washy 1 or 2...
If O'Reilly had engaged in
Stolen Valor hyperbole - in connection with American troops and American military operations - I would have been on his ass like white on rice...
But that t'aint the case here, is it?
The Mother Jones attack is
soooooo embarrassingly and obviously a copycat drive-by shooting and a case of sour grapes... a weak and lame-ass attempt to carve a pound of flesh out of the Right's collection of mouthpieces, to offset the pound of flesh that
they've just lost...
Causing the Lefties to come off looking like a bunch of ankle-biting yip-yip poodles in all of this rather than like dangerous attack-dogs...
Yip-Yip poodles and ankle-biters...
As to apologizing...
One only apologizes when one is in-the-wrong...
Has O'Reilly admitted yet that he is in-the-wrong?
I haven't heard of such an admission, but, maybe I missed it...
Absent such an admission, an apology would be premature, yes?
This just isn't the same kind of Big Deal that the Williams case of
Stolen Valor generated, no matter how hard ya'll try, and
even if O'Reilly is totally in-the-wrong...
MEH...
Clown-faces, indeed...
Yip-yip poodles and ankle-biters...
