Blood-Soaked Bill O'Reilly

O'Reilly has twice gotten the facts wrong regarding the Nazi slaughter of American prisoners at Malmedy, in World War II. Nazis slaughtered Americans, not vice-versa, as O'Reilly has twice said. O'Reilly persists, in order to make wartime massacres seem typical, in order to defend the perpetrators of the Haditha massacre. But having blown it twice now, what seems more likely is that this isn't a mistake at all, that O'Reilly is banking on American ignorance of history, in order to defend the indefensible.

My Dad was in the Battle of the Bulge. He remembers the massacre at Malmedy, as do many other veterans who came close to the same fate as the soldiers at Malmedy.

Evil bastard, that O'Reilly.
