1) Clark was not in the studio. From Clark's response it's obvious he was "guessing" BO said "Malmady", but over an earpiece... it may have also sounded like "Normandy". Even then he demanded O'Reilly produce facts, not bloviating.

2) Clark doesn't need to get 'strawmanned' into an argument over WWII history when he's making a point about what's happening today. BO makes so many mistakes that if Clark stopped to correct them all, the issue being discussed would never GET discussed.

3) It's not the first time BO has said the same thing about "Malmady" but the Clark netroots beat him up about it in October of 05 when he did it last time. Keith apparently knew about it, since KO "forgave" the earlier (possible) mistake.... The opportunity to smack BO around about obvious errors of fact is almost overwhelming. Clark knows we have his back.

4) For BO to look like a fool to vets (particularly Fox-watching vets) is always an upside.... why correct someone who's making an ass of themselves and everybody but the ass knows it.
