O'Reilly owes America an apology--and you can help!
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 04:58 PM by DrBB
O'Reillly on Good Morning America, in March 2003:

"And I said on my program, if -- if -- the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again."


And on April 22, on his Fox News program, he spake thus:

"If weapons of mass destruction aren't found,... I will have to apologize because I bought into it... All right, a month from today, we'll do this story again."


But for some reason—an honest oversight, surely; a simple lapse of memory—he forgot to follow up a month later. And apparently it has slipped his mind ever since.

But now there's a way to help jog his memory. Get involved, folks--it would reflect poorly on the punditocracy as a whole if this lacuna were to go unrectified, and we can't have that! So help him out--sign the petition here.

3. He tried to use the Kay report to cover his ass...


On his show that I never watch. Heard it from a friend.

What a piece of shit that guy is. People make lots of money lying to Americans these days.

Do it, O'Really?, or live a craven, SOB.

5. I just sent Bill this email
oreilly@foxnews.com
Dear Bill,
On Good Morning America, in March 2003, you said:

"And I said on my program, if -- if -- the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again."

When are we going to hear these words you promised? I think you owe it to your viewers to be honest and come through on your promise.

Thank you,
My name
my city, state

Hey... do you think he'll read my letter on the air? ;) Haha.

12. We should pull our money together and buy billboard time.
Imagine if we put O'Biley's statement on a huge billboard near where O'Biley works.

Imagine how steamed O'Biley would be.

15. Uh-oh, what did you do to it?
The petition seems to be stuck at 85. I signed a good 20 minutes ago and it hasn't budged since then. I never got a confirmation e-mail, either...

14. I listened to part of his show on the way to the dentist today
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 05:00 PM by Skittles
what a weasel fuckwit he is; a lady was bringing up good points concerning his ridiculous ravings and he cut off her mike because "my staff voted to cut her off". What a cowardly piece of shit he is. It boggles the mind that people can actually listen to this gasbag. Oh, and just like Savage he was giving away copies of his book to every freaking caller. Buying in bulk there, Bill? What an asshole.

19. Signed and sealed!!!
I could care less about O'Reilly, I don't get Faux News here at the house, but even when I see his mug on tv at work I always make sure to turn the channel. It's not worth the rise in blood pressure. Should he actually do what he said he would do, and make this public apology (which I bleieve he will not and will in fact slime his way out somehow) I will watch that show.

not that he will ever do it, but maybe with enough signatures it will get some traction somewhere.
