a bit vague KD, so allow me to elaborate:
bill oreilly was caught RED F***ING HANDED
using manipulative edited video of a speech by senator
joe biden regarding guantanimo bay prison.
here is the original transcript:
----------------------------------------------------------------
SENATOR JOE BIDEN: Back in January I introduced a bill saying we should have an independent commission go take a look at this, not only Guantanamo but Abu Ghraib, the rest of the prison system, make a recommendation to the United States Congress and let's deal with this openly, because this has become the greatest propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world. And it is unnecessary to be that, in that position. We should have an independent US commission take a look at it, make recommendations to the Congress. That bill I introduced is going to get a hearing in the judiciary committee in the next couple of weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oreilly had his "no spin zone" editors cut the heart of biden's proposal out
in an BLATENT effort to distort the truth of what he said. here is the version which aired in fox:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIDEN: ...has become the greatest propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world. And it is unnecessary to be in that position,
[CUT]
but the end result is I think we should end up shutting it down, moving those prisoners. Those that we have reason to keep, keep. And those we don't, let go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then oreilly goes on to present the idea of an independant commision as if
it was his own and that biden never even suggested it:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O’REILLY: The Bush administration should set up an independent commission to investigate American detainee policy across the board. The president must take the offensive on this, or else the country's image will continue to suffer and the jihadists and their enablers will win another victory. And that's "The Memo."
MORE BILL BEING MADE TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6/9/05 - talking with Arianna Huffington about problems with Guantanamo
HUFFINGTON: But we've released 234 people from Guantanamo Bay with nothing to do with terror, 234 people.O'REILLY: Wait a minute. I have never seen the government make a statement that they've released one person from Guantanamo who had nothing to do with terrorism.
Boston Globe, September 9, 2004:
"The US military admitted for the first time yesterday that one of the prisoners whom the Bush administration has held without charges for more than two years at Guantanamo Bay was never an Al Qaeda or Taliban fighter and should be immediately released from the interrogation camp in Cuba. The man, who was captured in Afghanistan and taken to the base in May 2002, was ordered set free by the military's new "combatant status review tribunal.""
O'Reilly then challenges Arianna to name one released prisoner:
O'REILLY: The release quote is, "We no longer need them in detention. We have what we need from them." If you can give me one name of one detainee who was released because he was in there mistakenly, I'll check it out.HUFFINGTON: Bill, do you really think that guilty people are released?
O'REILLY: Can you give me one name, Arianna?
HUFFINGTON: Yes, I would say 234 people must have been released because they did not pose a threat to the United States.
O'REILLY: Because their use in interrogation is through. Can you give me one name of somebody who has been there who is completely innocent?
April 14, 2005:
"Seventeen Afghan men released from the U.S. detention center for terror suspects in Guantanamo Bay were turned over to local authorities in Kabul on Tuesday with a warning not to discuss mistreatment at the facility ... Pentagon spokesman Maj. Michael Shavers said the 17 Afghans and the Turkish man had been cleared of accusations they were enemy combatants during the Combatant Status Review Tribunal process that recently ended. Five others cleared in late March already had been sent home and another 15 await transfers home.
The article mentions two names: Abdul Rahman and Gul Zaman. "
Because O'Reilly's such a stand-up guy, he issued this declaration:
O'REILLY: I'm sorry, that's not going to cut it. If anybody out there, including you, Arianna, can give me a name of somebody the government says was mistakenly swept up and put in Gitmo, I will put that person's name and picture on the air and I will send them a donation.
Betya they'll have to waite a while for their money.
You complain about the more conservative journalists but let's face it.. what does the liberal side have to show for journalism?
An ass-puppet yesman that go's by the name Geraldo?
A pill-popping maniac who slurs and foams at the mouth every ten seconds about how stem-cell research should be legal named Ron Regan?
Or an Asian chick they put in the middle of a tornado named Suzzane Wong?

O' Reilly is not my only hero, I idolize anyone who actually voices what they think and doesn't do what they know will appease the tough crowd. That's what's wrong with liberals. Thier pathetic, idol, cowards. That's why George W. Bush is president and not some other smchuck.
More of your party should be like Howard Dean or Michal Moore, which rionicaly enough everyone in your party hates because liberals cannot stand the idea of a leader having a pair of balls and a dream..

Bardock is like an Irish Stone Cold Steve Austin, who the crowd cheers for and loves to watch stick it to whomever's being a jackass at the given moment.
