Bill O'Reilly Falsely Claims Republicans Barred From March On Washington

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Fox host Bill O'Reilly falsely claimed that "no Republicans and no conservatives were invited" to participate in attend the anniversary of the March on Washington. Several prominent Republicans were invited, but chose not to attend.

On the August 28 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly hosted Democratic strategist James Carville to discuss the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. During the discussion, O'Reilly complained that President George W. Bush was not invited to speak. O'Reilly later claimed that "[n]o Republicans and no conservatives were invited." O'Reilly went on to respond to Rep. John Lewis' statement that "we're all in the same boat" by asking "Where's the conservative side to that boat?"

5. Some folks carry a bottle of oxygen to survive

I'm betting Bill-O carries a bottle of compressed farts he ventilates from. That's why everything this buffoon extols, smells like shit.

6. What O'Reilly did not say is the coward conseratives are too scared of their base to attend. They

Were invited and chose to stay away.

7. Classic Billo

Create a false argument on faulty data and then get everyone to agree with his conclusion, without every discussing the veracity of the starting point.

The way he bastardizes logic is criminal.

8. Republicans are on a war path to disenfranchise black voters....Why the hell should they be invited?

9. Billo knows his audience isn't going to know better because they aren't into computers....

Except the one monitoring their vitals.

10. I am shocked,

Shocked, to discover that Billo said something that was not in strict conformation to the absolute truth.

I mean, if you can't trust a conservative propagandist, who can you trust?
