What's with this video on O'liely with the soldier effigy burning at a Portland, OR antiwar demo?

[TheMightyFavog]

He's raising high holy hell about it. Someone please hit him over the head with a clue bat. Those anarchist wierdos DO NOT represent the antiwar movement as a whole.

1. There were lots of people at the anti-war demonstration.

This group of kids wasn't representative of any of the other groups at the march. Not surprisingly, O'Reilly seems to be trying to use it to paint all anti-war demonstrators with the same brush.

2. SHUT UP!

Of course all anti-war demonstrators are like that. We all know they are.

Can someone cut her mike?

6. Excellent impression!

4. Bill O'Reilly burned way more actual people in this town than 'anarchists' did

Yeah, that was me, except I was burning B'OR in effigy after he claimed to be "in combat".

Behold: http://skinthefox.com/news_003.htm

Who said the following?

"I've been in combat. I've seen it. I've been close to it. And if I'm... my unit is in danger, and I've got a captured guy, and the guy knows where the enemy is, and I'm looking him in the eye, the guy better tell me. That's all I'm gonna tell you. He better tell me. If it's life or death, he's going first."

O'Reilly: We've got a caller. Roger. Roger from Portland, Oregon. What say you Roger?

Roger: Yeah, hey, Bill. First things first. You just said you've been in combat, but you've never been in the military, have you?
O'Reilly: No I have not.

Roger: Then why do you say you've been in combat?

O'Reilly: Why do I say that, Roger? Because I was in the middle of a couple of firefights in South and Central America.

Roger: But you were a media guy.

O'Reilly: Yeah. A media guy with a pen, not a gun. And people were shooting at me, Roger.

Roger: People might think that you actually were in the military.

O'Reilly: Oh... We don't want to mislead anybody. But I made it quite clear... quite clear in many, many circumstances --

Roger:

O'Reilly: Yeah. Hey listen, Roger. You can take your little "fair and balanced" uh... snip remark and shove it, okay? You're not getting on this air. Um... You, mister macho man, have never come close to anything I've done, down where I've been. So take a walk and... uh... 'nuff said.

7. You can give someone 1000 photos of yourself nicely done, if one is a nude though - it gets sent

to people and that is what folks will see the most.

Peaceful protesters are as about as exciting as covering the local chess team to the news people.

People thrive on action, drama, and weird shit.
