Letterman/O'Reilly

Last night Bill O'Reilly was on the David Letterman show. Not surprisingly, the interview was contentions. What was surprising was O'Reilly's poor performance defending himself and his beliefs. He could barely keep up in an exchange on...Cindy Sheehan!?!!??!?

What O'Reilly should have said:


Dave, you don't know anything about Cindy Sheehan. Do you know the name of her son, who gave his life? No? Did you know that he reenlisted? No? Did you know that she calls the very same people who killed her son "Freedom Fighters"? These are the same people who blow up children and aid workers, Dave. They shoot teachers in front of their students. "Freedom Fighters", Dave. Over 2,000 American soldiers have died in Iraq, Dave. Can you name one of their mother's besides Cindy Sheehan? Why is that? You don't know these things because the media doesn't tell you. They don't tell you because they are using Cindy Sheehan - a woman who has lost her son - to attack this administration. I have not lost any children fighting in Iraq and my heart goes out to all who have including Ms Sheehan. But I do know this - I would not call those who have killed over 2,000 American soldiers, thousands of innocent Iraqis and killed MY son "Freedom Fighters"...and this is the one Gold Star mother's name you know. Shame on you, but mostly shame on the media that created her and is using her.
