Bombs going off in Iraq kill American soldiers. That means something, you cretin. - fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -7/+94Not to mention Iraqi civilians. It is disgusting to see people like Bill O'Rielly dismissing these bombs, which kill Iraqis and Americans alike, as "meaningless".
- wageslaven, on 10/11/2007, -4/+66"Bombs going off in Iraq kill people. That means something, you cretin."
There, fixed it for you. - MarkCiccone, on 10/11/2007, -8/+70Does he even believe what he's saying? "Support our troops" my ass...
- Zoophagous, on 10/11/2007, -7/+67It means we're losing the war. Everyday.
And yes, I care. - Dayyve, on 10/11/2007, -5/+61Explosions? What explosions? Oh, those explosions? Ahh, those are nothing. Buy my book or you're a bad American! Blah blah blah blah blah

"Bombs going off in Iraq kill American soldiers. That means something, you cretin."
I find it amazing how some Americans fail to mention the lives of the over 600,000 Iraqi men, women and children that have died in this war, yet are able to get all emotional when only a mere 3,000 of their "precious" soldiers loose their lives. Don't get me wrong every life is valuable, but would it kill you maintain some perspective. No pun intendid .
Bambino. - Shad0wSP, on 10/11/2007, -8/+59"doesnt mean anything...to ME"
he forgot to add those last two words - movingtobc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+55What Bill O'Reilly says doesn't mean anything.
- littlebylittle, on 10/11/2007, -5/+41"No! It doesn’t mean anything," ... unless it's one of MY loved ones.
This guy is FULL-ON Insane. - Pyronite, on 10/11/2007, -7/+38It means that the Iraq War is a political liability that Bill O'Reilly doesn't care to talk about. He'd rather ferret out powerless low-lifes on the left ("LOOK WHAT THIS GUY SAID!") in an attempt to shift the focus to something better fitting his biases.
- Insomniac33, on 10/11/2007, -5/+31You agree that CNN and MSNBC are helping the terrorists? Really? Come on, you gotta be ***** me. Are you sucking on O'Reilly's dick as you typed that?
Bill O'Reilly would be covering the war for a full hour if it was actually going in favor of the U.S.. Instead he spends his time yelling at people and bullying them around, cutting off and interrupting people that don't agree with him. What a total douche. - fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -7/+31To not report on hundreds of people dying, no matter how many times it has happened, is irresponsible journalism. Don't give the people what they want to hear, give them what they need to hear.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+28Dying.
- breakerjump, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23I was a Fox News and Bill O'reilly fan for many, many years. I liked them because I'm pretty conservative, appreciated the coverage and really, truly believed they were "fair and balanced." *****.
I spoke to my brother last night. I was in my air-conditioned house. He was in a tent in 110 degree heat - "relaxing" after gunning his way through a massive, 3 hour long firefight. My brother serves honorably in the USMC as a SAW gunner in a line company. He said to me: "It is ten times worse here than anything you see or hear about on the news" and "CNN is the only news agency out here anymore." Of course, these are normative statements, but the point that finally shook me from my delusional belief that Fox News was "fair and balanced" is their, of late, almost non-existent coverage of the Iraq war, which is worse at this immediate second than it almost ever has been. Fox News is covering for the administration and their asinine, ignorant, arrogant mistakes. And I voted for Bush.
***** *****, the whole lot of them.
And Semper Fi. - rabidjester, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26Dude, the audio is right there on the page... Calm down, killer.
- MakinBacon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22Funny how last week he was freaking out that a "bomb plot" wasn't given prime coverage in the New Yor Times (even though it was as likely to be successful as it is for Paris Hilton to win a spelling bee) - yet when an actual bomb goes off in another country and actually kills lots of people it's a non-event. There's something really wrong with this guy.
- CanceledCzech, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22@JimSpaza
From the leftist whack-job website dictionary.com:
de·ni·al - noun
1. an assertion that something said, believed, alleged, etc., is false: Despite his denials, we knew he had taken the purse. The politician issued a denial of his opponent's charges.
Sorry, buddy, but it looks like even the English language is against you. - scoot87, on 10/11/2007, -5/+25@JimSpaza
You're such a spaz - Dumbledorito, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20Conservative Rule of Argument #47: When facts and incontrovertible proof that your position is incorrect is presented, it's just the world's liberal bias. Feel free to contradict it, safe in the knowledge that no matter how un-true your beliefs are, they represent what SHOULD be the case, and Jesus will change it for you after the rapture.
- CanceledCzech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Forget just "American soldiers". Humans are dying in those explosions. People. Brothers, fathers, nephews, uncles, sisters, mothers, nieces, aunts, cousins, friends. People are dying, and that definitely means something.
- SenorCardgage74, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20Hey layoff mboston you guys.
Obviously O'Reilly was taking his own words out of context as he said them.
Ya liberal fags! - aweraw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18@bonhoeffer
"Innocent people are dying all over the world. Yet CNN and NBC do not mention it because IT IS NOT NEWSWORTHY."
Probably true in most cases... on the other hand when innocent people are dying as a DIRECT RESULT of failed American Foreign policy, then people need to be informed - hopefully that way they will recognize similar mistakes being made in the future, and can point back to these explosions as reasons to avoid making the same mistake again.
"The reason CNN and NBC keep every Iraqi explosion in the news is to demonstrate their opposition to the war by exploiting its cost - not its purpose or achievements."
The cost of this war - for most people - far outweighs any perceived benefit. You might not think so, but you are in the minority. There's obviously a large audience for these stories - CNN and NBC are driven by ratings as much as any other network - and if these explosion stories win them viewers, then they are going to continue to air them.
"Bill O'Reilly is right."
I'd describe him as a recursive contradiction machine. Then again, I think the real clue as to O'Reilly's true feeling can be gained from the sub-text of his closing remark:
"Do you care if another bomb went off in Tikrit? Does it mean anything? No! It doesn’t mean anything."
Why, yes Bill... I do care. It's all about the shrapnel; I care about the soldiers dodging it; I care about the doctors, and the kids who's legs they pull it out of; I care about the average Iraqi who has lost several members of their family to wounds caused by it. I care about the people who are living their lives in a war zone. It means that the situation has not improved; I like to keep on top of how things are progressing - whether the progress is positive, negative or none at all, I want to know what's going on... Bill would rather I kept my head in the sand. No dice, Bill.
It's not hard to cut through the ***** of O'Reillys rhetoric - He doesn't care, or think it means anything when an American GI looses a limb or his life in a bomb blast... he'd rather you just ignored all that stuff he promised was never going to happen. Ignore the civil war. Ignore the fact that there were no WMD's. Ignore the fact that you're now funding the very people who perpetrate these bombings. It doesn't mean anything. - mpn401, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19@mboston
He also said it on the TV, you dipwad. - KibibyteBrain, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13He, and the GOP, know this. They have already written the war off as a loss, as has everyone. They are just milking every last day to meet their many objectives. A right wing talk show I was listening to this morning was even saying something to this effect, but pointing out how the democrats didn't have the balls to cut the funds to finally ax this thing. Thats why O'Reilly wants the coverage to stop. The GOP wants to sweep this under the rug asap and move on. They screwed up, plain and simple, but don't want to hear about it, and want to market a new segment of politicians led by Newt who will backstab Bush.
- ATHEISTinHELL, on 10/11/2007, -1/+139/11 didn't directly effect me. I was fortunate enough to only have experienced the disaster through a tv screen. So I guess under Bills logic It shouldn't have been reported to me.
- bluechips23, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17Do people actually listen to the crap this senile fool says every other day? Well, Billy boy, let me tell you something. Your pathetic and misinformed opinion just about everything doesn't mean anything to an average literate, sane and responsible American.
- Antiproton, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15My god, Don Imus got crucified for saying something a lot less disgusting than this. Where is the outrage now? Why do we still entertain his ramblings and warmongering?
- Dumbledorito, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14As has been pointed out, with actual research, mind you, our military effort since toppling Saddam has been helping the terrorists to recruit, learn, and export their tactics to other areas of the world.
And given the dangerous situation in Iraq, I'm amazed we get any reporting out of there at all. Not everyone can get a kevlar vest and AH-64 gunship escort out of the Green Zone. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10@ breakerjump
Welcome - hope you don't get ulcers like some of the rest of us.
And best of luck to your brother; our thoughts are with him during this horrible, horrible time. - insomniac8400, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Terrorists don't want news reports they will never see. They want all Americans dead. The news stations are actually giving Americans what they need. The truth. Imagine if all news networks were like fox news, Bush could be slaughtering million of people with our army and we would know nothing about it. The whole world could be calling him the second coming of Hitler, and we would only be getting news about how democrats aren't patriotic.
- kevinvsgodzilla, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Is anyone really surprised by the ***** this ***** spews on the airwaves?
- s0mekiter, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Yeah, we all heard the show. Theres an audio clip on the website, its about a minute long, maybe you need to refresh your memory?
- bardamuclichy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9As a former 'troop', I still don't know what the ***** "I support the troops" is supposed to mean. It's like the whole concept of it... ends with simply saying it. It's like saying you're in favor of bananas or something.
Gee, thanks for the uh... 'support'! - Turambar, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15its just that most conservatives don't quite meet the intelligence standards for proper internet usage.
- s0mekiter, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10The site isn't trying to convince anyone of anything. It presents a piece of audio (actually happened) to the public, and thanks to internet 2.0, we all get to pass judgment. Too bad youre in love with O'reilly, maybe you'd experience this digg like most of us do.
- gordonm, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12But it means everything to the still-deluded Republican "base" this fool appeals to. Literacy, sanity and responsibility are foreign concepts to these right-wing goofballs.It's all about ***** and sound-bites.
- there, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8 What's kind of funny about O'Reilly is he so clueless that he actually believes he's responsible for protecting American values. Truth be told he is the very sickness of intolerance and paranoia that's destroying the 20th century American values that made this country into the superpower it is.
Since when is American about having the NSA spy on us?
Since when is America about invading countries over lies?
Since when is America about preemptively nuking countries?
Since when is America against the UN? (that we helped create no less)
Since when is America about indefinitely arresting people without trials?
Since when is America about not questioning our leaders?
Since when is America about alienating and insulting our allies in Europe?
Since when is America about secret prisons?
Since when is America against immigration?
Since when is America about complete deregulation of private industry?
Since when is America about the executive controlling everything?
Since when is America about xenophobia?
Since when is America a theocracy?
Since when is America about ultra-nationalism?
Since when is America about intolerance?
Since when is America about torture?
These apparently are the values that O'Reilly stands for.
What's particularly ironic is that without liberals as perpetual punching bags of this pompous, unhappy, violent, childish, intolerant, ignorant, xenophobic, and self-righteous troll.... some other far rightwing pundit just like him would have sent him and his family to a gulag to be disposed of ages ago. I hate judging people but this man is vile beyond belief. He insults billions of good people on this planet simply because a few of them make marginally less money than him or because they may have slightly traditions different than his own.
Screw Godwin. The man stereotypes groups so much he sounds like a ranting Nazi propagandist. - fantasticFlan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Posterity (Sorry, I'm usually not one of those guys.)
- totorototoro, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12Wow, that's just pathetic..even for O'Reilly.
- bblades, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Denial doesn't make the bodies magically go away Bill-O... blaming the liberal media doesnt either
- Nydas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I'm in Iraq right now. I've been here about 10 months now. Im stationed in Balad, which is one of the safest parts of Iraq (We do get hit with in-direct fire about every other day though). I'm not a front line soldier. I work in front of a computer for 12 hours a day. Ive never been in a fire fight and I've never left the base. But every single day, i sit in on the briefings we give to our Col, who then briefs the generals. Everyday i get to hear about how many explosions there were, and how many people died or got injured that day. Not to mention the fact that i live less then 3 blocks from the 2ND largest hospital in Iraq, so i get to see the blackhawks ferrying in wounded troops and civilians every single day.
None of the news networks cover even HALF of what goes on here. It is a lot worse then the news shows it to be. - Wagnel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Does he really believe that the terrorists are setting off bombs because CNN and MSNBC are covering it?
- balloot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6You might be right. Daily bombings in Iraq that kill nobody are not newsworthy. Sure enough, there are many such events that go uncovered. The problem here is that there are daily bombings which *do* kill people. That's a problem, and it is newsworthy.
- chase001, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6This man is a paid salesman. He and other get compensated very well to tell small people what they want to hear to silence their conscience that tells them right from wrong.
- tracker5kx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4actually he said it again today on the tv side, and the audio is also on the website from the radio show. youre the idiot
- Disjunto, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6since when were soldiers, who willingly enlisted, who then go out and kill people, counted as innocent?
- dcmiltown, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Anyone else find it slightly amusing that O'Reilly says the other stations only want to embarass the president... and they are doing this by presenting information about the war... so the logical conclusion is that O'Reilly feels the war is an embarassment.
- there, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5
Rather than attempt an authentic rebuttle.... you make some snide remark then slither away? Coward. - Dgen_X, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4And billo makes a good point about this in his rant...
"Now the reason that CNN and MSNBC do so much Iraq reporting is because they want to embarrass the Bush administration."
He won't cover the war much BECAUSE it's a ***** embarrassment for this country, but he's not doing any better for it by saying that nobody should care when "another bomb" explodes in Iraq....oh well, the talking heads from the right wing are now just becoming comedians in my mind. -
