Mr. ‘War Zone’ BillO’ is just a draft dodging liar, who wants to send your kids to die in wars, while not serving himself then lying about being in combat. He’s a craven coward of the worst stripe. And, take notice, in response to getting caught in a lie, he lies about making the claim in the first place…and has not refuted one single assertion made by David Corn. Asshat O’Reilly has simply screeched and yelled, as expected, like some elementary school child who is caught red handed with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar.

And note that anyone writing about O’Reilly’s lie (including our own TPM) takes extra care to point out that the organization who broke this story is a liberal media outfit. What does it matter who spoke the truth? Is the truth any less truthful if it comes from a considered partisan source?

Well, in fairness, if Fox starts firing people for telling bald-faced lies, they’re going to have to spend an awful lot of airtime broadcasting video of empty chairs. Shep Smith has to sleep and take a pee break sometime.

Plus O’Reilly will do some kind of modified limited climb-down from the ‘kill zone’ comment, and when he does, everyone who isn’t paying attention to the substance will think he dealt with the charges and expressed some small degree of contrition about it all, and they’ll let him off the hook for being a lying liar.

That was a rhetorical argument you were making, I believe. It’s FAUX News after all, catering to an audience with an aversion to truth.
Yep. I’ll give 2:1 that that’s exactly what will happen.

Why would the good folks at Mother Jones give a fuck about anything that blowhard has to say.
C’mon, billo, this is an easy one. Just gather up those “eight or nine journalists” who “verified” your story, and have them appear on your show. Or, if you can’t get all eight or nine, how about four or five? Then you don’t have to apologize to anyone. Until someone can verify YOUR story, time for you to either quit or apologize for “stretching the truth”.

OH MY GOD! Bill O is flashing the shahada in your picture. HE’s a secret Muslim too?

There were three men came out of the East,
Their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
That David Corn must die.
They’ve ploughed, they’ve sown, they’ve harrowed him in,
Threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
That David Corn was dead.
…
And little Sir Dave and the nut-brown bowl,
And his brandy in the glass;
And little Sir Dave and the nut-brown bowl,
Proved the strongest man at last.
The huntsman, he can’t hunt the Fox,
Nor so loudly to blow his horn,
And the tinker he can’t mend kettle nor pot,
Without a little David Corn

MJ is correct to demand not only an apology, but a correction. It is not too far back in history when O’Reilly repeatedly cited “Tiller the baby killer” such as in this piece (Mar 2009):
“Now, we have bad news to report, that Tiller the baby killer out in Kansas – acquitted. Acquitted today of murdering babies. I wasn’t in the courtroom. I didn’t sit on the jury. But there’s got to be a special place in hell for this guy.”
Tiller was assassinated 2 months later.

Billo can’t apologize. The hallmark of a dark triad is no empathy and no remorse.

Oh yeah? I’m gonna hold my breath till Billo apologizes. In 1, 2, 3 . . .
It’s a matter of perception — when you demand something and don’t get it you look weak. When you denounce someone you look strong and that doesn’t depend on what the other side does.
I hereby denounce BIll-O for lying.
IDK, Bill, David Corn is a real journalist; Mr. Corn does his homework and is proven to be very thorough. If your stories are easily verifiable, why didn’t even CBS have any record of your actually being in a war zone and under fire, saving a man’s life and your all-around American-Sniper-esque duties?

Didn’t Bill O the Clown hint for the death of Dr. George Tiller? His fans are right-wing gun nuts, David Corn should be wary that one of the pathetic little fanboy Fox groupies will try to kill him to avenge their pathetic hero’s “honor.”

I’ll make it easyer for Bile O’Really than you would: just name those journalists who could corroborate his storied claims. Mr. Bill, you can either do so voluntarily, or we can have Terry Gross chase you down again.

Update: "Bill O’Reilly claims he was once fragged with a mercury glass ornament-grenade by a liberal elf while covering combat in the War on Christmas. He suffered a terrible cut on his pinkie finger and was awarded a purple heart. "
