O'Reilly is having a conniption fit over this and must be convinced to allow the Swifties to proceed. To email him directly, one must be a member of his "fan club" at $5/month (chortle). So, if anyone IS a member of this obviously important and influential policy group, please use that avenue. If not, you can use the Fox News address...hopefully it's not a roundfile eddress.

Here is my letter as an example.
Bill,
I think you are way off base on this one. The Swifties aren't attacking Kerry's service record in Viet Nam, they are questioning the veracity of written reports that led to his being awarded the honors and medals. These vets may not have been on his boat (actually one was, Gardner) but they were all fine officers and commanders who worked closely with Kerry and are fully qualified to offer competent witness testimony.
If the reports were gilded, and there is plenty of testimony to indicate they might have been, we need to get to the bottom of it. If Kerry has based his entire political career on a series of lies, the American people have a right to know that before they go into the voting booth.
Lying on military medal applications is a crime and worse, amounts to stolen valor which is an insult to every soldier who served valiantly, honorably and with heroism in any American military engagement. We owe them a thorough investigation into these allegations so the question of whether Kerry earned them can be confirmed or denied with confidence.
It seems this easily could be verified by Kerry authorizing the release of all his military records, as Bush did to put to rest rumors regarding his National Guard service. If the reports were accurate, as claimed by the Kerry campaign, it would seem they would be encouraged to do so. That they refuse raises suspicions the records may not look favorably on years of statements by Kerry on the subject.
This issue is not going away. You may disagree with the Swift Boat Vets action but you can help end it by insisting Kerry release all the military medical and medal application records necessary for a proper clarification and understanding of the events in question.
Cordially,
I am currently getting failure of delivery when I email him.
Doesn't matter, O'Reilly will fail to deliver on your request.
So, THAT'S why my emails to him keep coming back! Well, I'll be darned!
hmmmm that's the email addy I used. Wonder what gives.
Imagine his fan club is a liberal nesting ground at this point.
John Kerry made his Vietnam service the central issue of his campaign. Its the bed he made, he should sleep in it fleas and all.
Much better...
Bill O'Reilly is a pompous blowhard much of the time, but one thing I never thought he was was a phony kiss up falsely concerned with the dems idea of fairness. This is an important story and O'Reilly is clearly off the mark if he is not going after it........
I still maintain that O'Reilly's "kindler and gentler" persona is an attempted strategery to get Kerry to appear on his show....remember, in 2000, Gore was on EVERY show, EXCEPT Bill's...
I had the same problem. Obviously, they don't want to hear from us.
Ive tried three times. Same returned message. Ill try again later.
Done
Pretty soon the DUmbasses will be wearing Factorcrap. O'Reilly is a gasbag. He'll keep pounding the Swifties just to tweek conservatives.
I agree with you 100%! I wouldn't waste the time and energy to contact him.
Ahh, but if we all e-mail FOX news and demand the same thing (ie:Bill O'Reilly, c/o Fox News), we may see some results.
He still is just an employee of FN
No apostrophe...of you were using one.
Apostrophe?
Any chance he's getting too many emails and his server can't handle them? (I do recall him making a statement to that effect after his Michael Boore interview.)
