Latest idiotic screed from Bill O'Reilly...

He's convinced Patton was murdered by Joseph Stalin"s people.

I'm not making this up, he said this on ABC's Sunday program.

Naturally, he has ZERO evidence to back it up...

Bill O'Reilly's Ludicrous Claim: Joseph Stalin Murdered General Patton

ABC News thought it was a good idea to book Bill O'Reilly as a guest on This Week to promote his ludicrous theory that General Patton was assassinated by Joseph Stalin because he was going to badmouth him to Americans.

It's 2014, so Bill O'Reilly released another one of his "Killing" books and this month's version is called " Killing Patton." That's not to be confused with Killing Jesus or Killing Kennedy, by the way. Funny, but he hasn't announced a date to launch his much anticipated "Killing Tiller."

I don't know why, but ABC News and Stephanopoulos thought it was a good idea to interview BillO to promote his ludicrous theory that General Patton was assassinated by Joseph Stalin because he was going to badmouth Russia to the American people. That's the best he could come up with. He could have made it at least a novel idea by providing some newly uncovered facts that could shed some light on his theory, but instead offers up just his own idiotic opinions to back up his ridiculous claims.

That puts him right up there with the Birthers, moon landing deniers, and those who claim Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy between the CIA and the Mafia.

I remember reading books entitled, "Last Day of Christ", "Last Day of Lincoln" and that type way back when written by Jim Bishop, had to be in the 90's. He and his ghost writers should be ashamed.

3. And of course ABC news challenged him and then ridiculed him when he couldn't back it up, right?

I know they didn't, that's what actual journalists would do (well, at least the challenge part anyway).
