Bill O Reilly interviews Gen Clark
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 11:28 AM by HannibalBarca
I don't know if any of you saw it but what I found humorous was Bill "the armchair general" O'Reilly expressing his desire to fight a war that instills "fear in the jihadists", Wesley Clarke (an actual 4 star 34 year veteran and Supreme NATO cmdr)came back with a reasoned and logical response during which O'Reilly promptly chastised him for "being like Kerry" since he wanted to bring Germany and France back into the fold.
It was funny watching an opinionated dullard who doesn't know the first thing about war talking down to someone of Wesley Clark's character.

1. If these armchair warriors are so fond of war, perhaps they should head
on over to Iraq.

That's the opinion of my dad, Vietnam Vetern who HATES THIS SELFISH, STUPID, FUCKING SENSELESS WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad also hates o'lielly with a white hot passion and would love to see HIS ass blown to bits for advocating sending our youth off on another senseless murder-fest like Vietnam and Iraq.

11. OMG my Dad is so pissed right now. He can't see straight.
He has taken to throwning things when * or his merry band of murderers are on tv. This started when * decided to invade Iraq.

Mom had to send him outside so he wouldn't break things in the house. When the rains came, she had to let him back in, so now he has a pillow he punches while muttering four-letter obsenities.

Yes, my pop rocks!

2. LOL
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 11:26 AM by FreedomAngel82
I love it too. I remember watching him on Sean Hannity's show (a clip from Crooksandliars.com or Dembloggers.com) and he did very well handling these people. That reminds me of that clip of O'Reilly pretending he has been in combat action and some guy called up his show and corrected him and O'Reilly got pissy. LOL. He got caught misleading. What a loser. He's trying to tell a four star general he's wrong? Uh yeah right.

Yeah, I agree
O'Reilly is a fucking prick and I just can't watch his shit. The only good coming from this is O'Reilly's viewers get to see someone like Clark on their show. I know Clark's positions inside and out, so fortunately I don't need to watch it. However, having said that, I did watch this episode. Got it from www.dembloggers.com

3. Clark shows how brave he is by trying to reason with O'liely.
That takes some guts.

4. Yeah....Clark and Kerry don't know near as much as O'Reilly about FIGHTING
WAR.

They both know enough to seek SOLUTIONS to PREVENT WAR.

Bush, O'Reilly, Rush and their ilk know only enough to AVOID WAR when it's their turn to go.

8. I have a sneaking suspicion that Bill O'Reilly is actually a
brilliant comedian, doing a career-long satire of the blustering American idiot.

Either that, or he's just a blustering idiot.
