Bill O'Reilly: Armchair Warrior, Cont'd.



The Fux Channel's rageaholic buffoon Bill "O'Lielly" O'Reilly is facing accusations from former colleagues at CBS that he lied about his experience in Argentina during the Falklands War.  Former CBS correspondents Eric Engberg and Charles Krause are saying that O'Lielly lied when he said he was in a "war zone" while covering the war, rather spending his time in Buenos Aires a thousand miles from the conflict.  As Krause said to Media Matters: 
"I don't recall him doing any major story that anybody remembers and he was there a very short time, then he was recalled, I don't know why.  He wasn't a team player and people thought he was grandstanding, basically."
Grandstanding?  O'Lielly?  Could have knocked us over with a loofah feather.  Apparently, there's more to come, as several other CBS reporters and staffers are refuting O'Lielly's puffery.  Time to take him down.

UPDATE:  Now Bully Boy Bill is threatening a female reporter. Someone please clean his clock.

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.
