The Rock Thrower's Glass House


Yesterday, we noted the Fux Network's Crusader-in-Chief Bill "O'Lielly" O'Reilly's foray into religious warfare nuttery, and how it would damage the prospects of defeating ISIS by adding fuel to the fire they've started.  O'Lielly's also been on a self-righteous tear regarding NBC News anchor Brian Williams' tall tales about his experiences in Iraq and elsewhere, criticizing "liberal media" deceptions over the years. After a couple of days of smug buffoonery, O'Lielly was nailed for telling his own tall tales told about his experiences during the Falklands War and Northern Ireland, among other places.  The Mother Jones article cites numerous examples of O'Lielly puffing up his "wartime" experience.  Prior to publication, Fux and O'Lielly were asked to comment, but declined.  True to form, O'Lielly now is resorting to nasty name calling.  Perhaps if he hadn't been so eager to throw rocks, he wouldn't be dealing with a lot of broken glass.
