Olbermann: Bill O’Reilly ‘disagrees with Bill O’Reilly’ about ‘mistreatment’ at Guantanamo Bay.
Olbermann: Bill O’Reilly ‘disagrees with Bill O’Reilly’ about ‘mistreatment’ at Guantanamo Bay.
On Monday, ThinkProgress caught Bill O’Reilly claiming that there is “no proof” that detainees were ever abused at Guantanamo Bay, despite the fact that both the FBI and the Red Cross have documented abuse at the prison. On MSNBC’s Countdown last night, Keith Olbermann pointed out that O’Reilly is also contradicting himself when he says that there is no proof of abuse at Gitmo:
OLBERMANN: That kind of contradicts this is quote from somebody who visited Gitmo in June of 2005.
“There have been abuses by U.S. interrogators there, but not many and now we have some stats to back that up.”
It also contradicts what the same visitor said after a second trip to Gitmo in June, 2006.
“Muhammad al Gitani, thought to be directly involved with the 9/11 attack, was treated harshly and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld ordered that Gitani could be subjected to coerced interrogation.”
Who is it that disagrees with Bill O’Reilly’s contention that there is no proof of mistreatment at Gitmo? Bill O’Reilly. He was the visitor who had confirmed the abuses.

O'Reilly can't remember what he spews from one day to the next.

Oh, Keith! Don't you realize that now is the time to rewrite history and craft Bush's legacy? And who better to do that than his BFF enablers?
PEACE
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:16 pmSome people say, "Billdo is a drunk on drugs", how do you expect him to remember what he drank for breakfast, much less a couple of years ago.
Falafel much? Pervert.

Olbermann’s lead story last night was about Sarah Palin at the governor’s meeting. His #1 story after “which of these will you be talking about…”. And he’s a credible and impartial journalist, right? Give me a break.

I am so glad I get all my news from Keith Olberman…this makes me one of the most informed people on the planet. I believe every thing Keith tells me. I am a little concerned though as I have NEVER seen Keith do a hard hitting report from say Iraq or anywhere other than the safe confines of a studio.

Who is arguing that Keith Olbermann is a journalist? He's a commentator and pundit, not a hard news reporter.
You do know the difference, don't you?
I guess not, which is why you seem to think Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are "journalists."
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:56 pmAny past statements by republicans are inadmissable unless the republican chooses to remember the statement.

December 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 pmCare to comment on the topic of the thread (Bill O'rally's hypocritical statements)?
Or, are you just the "corn of the poop" trolls with no such inclination to have intelligent discussion?
Oh well, crap - Olbermann probably got that quote from that far left smear site Media Matters!!
Ha-RUMPH!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:40 pmBill O'Reilly only tells the truth when he can't get a lie to fit.

O’Reilly has more journalistic integrity in the corn of his poop than Olbermann will ever hope to have.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
YOU have lost your mind. O'falafel isnt in the same GALAXY as journalistic integrity. He doesnt have any journalistic integrity compared to Baghdad Bob. The corn in his poop is what you have stuffed between your ears.
