Why Does Bill O’Reilly Hate Our Troops and American Values?
By: SilentPatriot @ 2:46 PM - PDT Bill O'Reilly abuses and cuts the mic of retired Colonel Ann Wright, 29-year veteran of the US Army, after she refuses to fall victim to his leading, dishonest questions and smear tactics. Apparently in Bill's demented world, criticizing the actions of President Bush in explicitly violating international law — something Col. Wright spent years teaching — constitutes "blaming" America.

WRIGHT: "I want to make sure the United States treats people properly.."

O'REILLY: "Sure you do. Sure you do."

WRIGHT: "I surely do. That's what I spent 29 years of my life trying to do."

O'REILLY: "Sorry. No you didn't. You know what happened to you…somewhere along the line you started to dislike your own country…."

WRIGHT: "I served 29 years. How many did you serve? Where did you teach the Geneva Conventions?"

O'REILLY: "Cut her mic."

Can anyone argue with a straight face that FOX doesn't engage in pure agenda journalism? Bill knew exactly who Wright was and had the intention of painting her as an America-hating kook the entire time. But when she very reasonably explained that you can't talk about the Iranian situation without talking about how the United States treats it's own captured prisoners, Bill ends up losing it and accusing her — a 29 year Army veteran — of hating America. When did serving your country and demanding it abide by the Geneva Conventions become "hating America"? And when did cutting the mic of an Army veteran and accusing her of "hating America" become loving America?

Thanks for the civics lesson, Bill.

1. There's chickenhawks and there's chickenhawks

O'Lielly is the super loudmouthed subspecies

[depakid]

2. How can anyone listen to this shit

Along with the fact that the man is a world class asshole and parhological liar- people talking at the same time is just STUPID.

This man needs to be banned from cable and the airwaves. PERIOD.

[SpiralHawk]

3. O'leilly gets called out for being a chickenhawk

and - of course -- he can't handle it.

Why does O'Lielly hate our veterans?

Why does Faux news hate our veterans?

Why do republicons hate and trash our veterans?

Because most republicons -- O'leilly, Limbaugh and Hannity for sure -- are chickenhawks who never served for even one year.

What a bunch of losers these republicons are, trashing America's veterans.

5. I saw the clip, he was ignorant and uncivilized

I wish I could have the opportunity just once to see someone tell him off and leave him speechless.

6. Does anyone have a list of the show's sponsors?

The least I can do is write some blistering letters condemning his behavior and stating my refusal to purchase products or own stocks in any company that continues to pay for his hatefulness.

7. I saw it.

He will not participate in a debate being held on a level playing field.

8. I feel bad

for the people that feel the need to watch stuff like this. People that clearly have some built up hate and unhappiness inside and like to use shows like this to reaffirm that these feelings can be blame on others. If I want news Bill is one of the last people I'd turn to for it.

9. "Somewhere along the line you started to dislike your own country"

Pure slime. If she disliked her country, why would she be fighting for it to live by its principles?
