O'Reilly quotes fictitious French periodical as evidence of $$$ lost...
Al Franken played an excerpt of Bill O'Reilly threatening Canada. O'Reilly quotes the "Paris Business Review" as saying the American boycott of French goods has cost France "billions" of dollars. He suggests the same could happen to Canada.

Franken has David Brock on who said he researched and found no periodical named "Paris Business Review..."

Here's additional information regarding this lie:

O'REILLY: Now if the government -- if your government harbors these two deserter , doesn't send them back ... there will be a boycott of your country which will hurt your country enormously. France is now feeling that sting.

MALLICK: I don't think for a moment such a boycott would take place because we are your biggest trading partners.

O'REILLY: No, it will take place, madam. In France ...

MALLICK: I don't think that your French boycott has done too well ...

O'REILLY: ...they've lost billions of dollars in France according to "The Paris Business Review."

MALLICK: I think that's nonsense.

3. Why is it that republicans hate isolationism when it comes to economics
but embrace it when it involves foreign policy?

Isolationism is bad if it interferes with outsourcing but God damned, we will stand alone to fight a war!

5. O'Reilly is un-American...
by trying to make more enemies against the US for no good reason.

There is no four letter word that I can think of that is obscene enough to describe him. He's annoyed with Canadians because they are laughing at his
LIES!

He is a virus to the minds of his gullible audience.

He is a great disservice to the US and it is his patriotic duty to

SHUT UP!

7. THE BANANA REPUBLICAN JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
STATED "O'reallY is suffering from advanced halitosis of the brain. This illness; affecting most republicans; results in brain farts affecting the speech and logic centers in the brain.".

The 5 page article published yesterday indicated that there was no know cure to the disease. It is expected that the airwaves surrounding individuals affected with the disease will continue to be monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency as an extremely hazardous material..

8. Man, I need an mp3 of this
Anyone got one?

On another board a neo-con is claiming the transcript has been changed and that Bill did not say that. It'd be great to just post the audio.
