O'Reilly to Malkin: I went through the VietNam era.

[11 Bravo]

Damn, Billy, you're a fucking hero! Guess what ass wipe? I and many of my progressive brothers and sisters actually went through Vietnam. The war, not the era. I still set off metal detectors in airports. How was your war, you chickenhawk piece of shit?

[neuvocat]

1. What...?

Words fail me.

[Diane R]

2. E-mail him

He needs to hear you.

[lachattefolle]

3. Geez, O'Loofah I was a preteen and "went through the Vietnam era"

Whodathunk it was that easy to claim you "went to war". That was your implication, right, butthead? For the record, my father went and so did many others. Draft dodgers like you, and that's essentially what you were, make me ill.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. Yeah, he went through the nam era...

Sitting on a Long Island barstool, drunk as a coot, mouthing off to people and getting his ass kicked with some regularity.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. 11 Bravo

explain to him what it means to be a veteran. Tell him like it is--and then tell him what he is. You've earned the right to do that.

[LittleClarkie]

6. Doesn't he mean he was a journalist in the war?

The funniest thing is when he says he saw combat. Yeah, baby, you saw it from a freakin' distance. He tries to make it sound like he was right in the middle of a firefight or something.

[11 Bravo]

9. I believe his journalistic "combat experience" ...

took place in Central America. My guess would be that someone detonated a firework in his vicinity.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Yeah. he watched it on the evening news.

[Imagevision]

24. How many millions did O'Reily's phone-sex case cost him?

Billy likes to get off using the phone...?hahahahahahahahahahaha
whata dork!

[burythehatchet]

39. My favorite line ever: "What say you, Roger?"

:rofl:

[madokie]

7. Yea, I still don't have a foot that works right.

"W" footprint of an American chickenhawk

[11 Bravo]

16. Glad you made it back, bro.

[madokie]

22. Right back at 'you'

and to think, seemingly our experiences were all for nothing. We learned, why can't they hear.:toast:

[bluestateguy]

8. What, did he get ambushed at a fraternity party in 1968?

I heard the VC almost invaded Marist College. :eyes:

[politicaholic]

10. Ding!

I'm as equally qualified to say the same statement as Bill because when the war ended I was 4...and Canadian...but hell, I was alive. And I can guarantee I was more sober at the time.

[TomInTib]

11. He used to insinuate that all the time .

Wasn't it Donohue that nailed him?

Hell, anyone over 40 "went throught the VietNam era"

Wonder if he would like to go mano-o-mano with a K-Bar?

ShitHead

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. "Went through the Vietnam era"?

:rofl: Anybody who was born by about 1966 can claim he or she "went through the Vietnam era." So if you're at least 40-ish you qualify. Of course, DildO uses the phrase to suggest that he's a Vietnam war vet, which he definitely is not, though he could have been if he'd wanted to at the time. But he didn't, so he needs to STFU about Vietnam. He wasn't there.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. That idiot is such an insufferable p.o.s.

[fishwax]

23. sums it up nicely (n/t)

[RobertSeattle]

15. I was born in 1963

...I went through the Viet Nam era too.

I'd call O'Reilly an a-hole, but that would be disrespectful to sphincters.

[GrumpyGreg]

19. I was born in 1932(just like Ted Kennedy) and I went through---

The WWII era,and the Korea era,and the Vietnam era !

Aren't I special?

[Faygo Kid]

26. You most assuredly are special. Same age as my youngest uncle.

I look forward to being Grumpy Faygokid in much less than 19 years. Thanks for your comments and participation, and your sage wisdom. Keep it coming.

[Faygo Kid]

17. Someday O'Reilly's 15 minutes are up

Take your millions, Bill, your hypocrisy, your ego, and shut the hell up and find an island somewhere (with loofahs). He's done.

[RobertSeattle]

25. My thoughts exactly

OK you Faux News Whores, you've made your millions as mouthpieces for the right wing, now go buy a multimillion dollar home in Hawaii and go there and STAY.

[henslee]

18. With a loofah up my ass.

[Cults4Bush]

20. Oh c'mon and recommend this one ya'all!!! I hear his staffers read DU!!

I'd so love to see 11 Bravo on with Bill the Shill.

[Mz Pip]

21. I am assuming he

was not wounded in the 'era'.

Does going through the Vietnam era make him special? Guess I'm special, too. :eyes:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Faygo Kid]

27. Moi too. Birthday number 1 in first draft, 1969.

September 14. Look it up. Thank God, I got my number in 1970. 247. Look it up. I have never needed to, believe me.

[11 Bravo]

29. I got mine mine in 1970, too.

January 21st, # 129. It earned me a ticket to the beautiful A Shau Valley.

[Faygo Kid]

36. The luck of the draw. Thanks for your service.

Wish the College Republicans got numbers now. Well, maybe not. But, can't help but dream.:toast:

[vickitulsa]

44. Wow, you were in the A Shau?

It musta looked like pure dee shit by the time you got there. Hamburger Hill and all that...

WELCOME HOME, alla you Namvets, I love ya's to the bone. My daughter's daddy was a doorgunner, '68, Cu Chi & Tay Ninh, and before I found DU almost all my friends online were Vietnam vets. I hate how this country treated you guys and have been feeling sick, just sick to death at heart and in my belly, as I've watched Iraq turn into another quagmire.

Hell I saw it on the horizon and was sick with dread even when Bush&Co were just *talking* about sending our troops to oust Saddam and take over that country! I know several soldiers who are in Iraq right now and some who have come back and some yet to go -- and some who fit in two or even all three of the above categories as they are sent back repeatedly with NO CHOICE about it! It's maddening!!!

I've heard O'Reilly do his bullshit schtick about having "seen combat" several times back when I could still bear to watch him, but it was that very thing that made it impossible for me to even hear his voice or see his face any more. I watch Faux News now and then just to check on what they are saying, but NEVER do I tune in O'Reilly. I just pray there is a true and fitting karmic reward waiting for that man some day...

I don't know if his ratings are plummeting, but I hope so. The fewer people listen to his venom and vitriol the better!

[joeprogressive]

28. I did too

I was there when the last chopper flew out of saigon............there in the living room sitting on the floor watching TV, drooling on myself wondering when my mother was going to put on cartoons.

I guess I lived it as much as O'Reilly. What a jerkoff. Didn't he recently say he knew what combat was like also.

[No Exit]

30. Bravo, Bravo! Well said!!

[No Exit]

31. O'Reilly is an "era veteran", while others are mere war veterans. n/t

[niallmac]

32. This isn't the first time O'Liely has Walter Mitty'd about war.

O'Liely has big issues about not having been in combat. He was called on this by a resident of Portland. Anyone recall the interview with AAR in Portland with the guy who called into O'Lielys show and made him clarify that he was NOT a soldier but a reporter in S.America?

I was in the Vietnam era also. My brother served and was a war hero. I protested the war and did all that hippy stuff. I am proud of my actions against the war but I would NEVER pretend to be in the same club as those who faced the mortal threat of combat. I think war is crap but I would never demean those who served in by claiming to be in their ranks.

[JJackFlash]

35. Yeah, he claimed to have been in combat

and got called on it.
To me, Bill O'Really? is the most loathsome shmuck in America. Cannot STAND the lying pig.

[Faygo Kid]

38. Thanks for your post. Powerful.

It was "hippie," I know. But, spelling doesn't matter. I was like you; my cousin was like your brother. And we are in total agreement about the lies of Iraq today. (We're both pretty fat now, too, but that's another story). B-)

[niallmac]

43. Geesh. Mis spelled my ethnicity! Yeah, I need to exercise 23 hours a day

in order to drink one beer without major repercussions. Cheers.

[The River]

33. Using his "Logic" I'm a

Korean War "survivor" because I was born the day it started.
What a wannabe......

One of these days O'Dildo will be having phone sex in the shower
and get the phone and the vibrator mixed up. Maybe then
his conversations will make perfect sense since it all comes
out of his ass anyhow....

[DebJ]

34. are his ratings still plummeting? I hope so.

[Maat]

37. This American thanks you for your service!

:patriot:


As for O'Lielly - I don't, for the life of me, know why that man is still on television or radio.

[Flying Dream Blues]

40. And I went through the Vietnam Era and have seen almost

EVERY WWII movie, Bill. Not to mention, every MASH episode at least FOUR times. So don't try to be all superior with ME!

What a DOUCHE this guy is.

[tahoedenver]

41. I hope you didn't end up like my grandfather:

Smoking crack in a dilapidated double wide at the age of 60. Please, I hope you faired better. Keep up the good work brother. Remember that there still are some of us out there who appreciate what you did for us.

[ContraBass Black]

42. Well, I went through the Gulf War era!

So what if I was in kindergarten?

[dchill]

45. Went through it, huh?

Must be where he grew that invincible pelt of insensitivity. Put that "Vietnam Era" badge up on the mantle with your Peabody Award.

[gardenista]

46. Like Bush, I'm sure that he's managed to talk his candy-ass self into

believing that he was really there. He probably likes to play dress-up like a army man, too, just like 'lil Bush, just like Doolittle in CA (Delay's 'lil buddy).

They are so insecure that they have to pretend that they served.

[Montauk6]

47. There are probably a LOT of chickenhawks who are convinced that

rooting for the war is more of a contribution than actual participation.

[Nostradammit]

48. Anybody ever find out how that cruise he planned turned out?

My own personal hell would be to spend an eternity in a room with Bill O'Reilly and not be able to punch him.

[Inland]

49. When the chickenhawk thinks of wartime, he is thinking of

the battle at home between him and the peaceniks. That's the REAL fight...the fight to shut up political opponents, mau mau them into silence, and ride a flag waving rush of patriotism into office forever.

War, to the chickenhawk, is politics. It's a means in the battle between the war party and the rest of us.

War, to them, isn't something that happens overseas, with death and dying. At least not something that they care about, or experience.It was pretty clear Oliely thought the Vietnam era was protests. Because that's what he wants to stop.

[ismnotwasm]

50. Ugh.

To think I have something in common with that POS. Since I was alive and kicking during at time, I too can make that claim.
Falling ratings? God I hope so. I want him to go away.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

51. i went through the Granada era.

and please don't reopen those old wounds. . . its too painful.











i saw Heartbreak Ridge in '87.
