Photo from the Washington Examiner
The Fox News Channel's number one star, Bill O'Reilly, host of The O'Reilly Factor, was photographed palling around with terrorist supporter Medea Benjamin at Wednesday night's Radio and TV Correspondents Dinner in Washington.
Benjamin is a co-founder, along with Barack Obama funder Jodie Evans, of the terrorist support group Code Pink.
O'Reilly has made Benjamin a frequent guest on The Factor without ever challenging her on her support for Hamas, al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hezbollah, nor her work with state sponsors of terrorism including Iran, Syria, Cuba and the government of the late dictator Saddam Hussein.
Benjamin has waged psychological warfare against American troops and their children on the homefront while aiding those trying to kill them overseas. Code Pink has repeatedly called our troops baby killers, the terrorists, murderers, assassins and more, yet O'Reilly treats Benjamin as a friend.
Up until 2005, Code Pink used to protest Fox News, now they pal around with Fox's number one star.
Can you show where he has supported Code Pink?
By giving them a platform on his show numerous times without exposing them as terrorist supporters.
No dispute there!
Hey troll, are you being paid by Code Pink or do you get your money directly from Zero?
And what gives you the idea that Free Republic is necessarily interested in "differences in opinion"? Are you one of these leftists who thinks that free speech applies here?
Not surprising, I’ve NEVER liked O’Reilly.
Back to his tabloid “Inside Edition” roots
He probably found a wide open source of sexually skank hippies to feed his porn/sex addiction problem.
When has BOR ever remotely supported Medea Benjamin or COde Pink? From everything I have seen, is is as stridently against them as anyone on FR, but I would be curious if you could provide an example where this is not the case.
If you read my posts and comments you would know very clearly that I am a passionate supporter of Sarah Palin and a proud conservative.
If you wanna jump on the anti-O’Reilly band wagon and believe that he is some kind of Code Pink supporter then be my guest. But if you take an extremist view of “all who are not 1000% conservative are evil”, don’t be surprised to be called out on it. That does not help conservatives.
And don’t accuse people of being certain things if you don’t know them. Especially over something as petty as this.
I didn’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
The noob made assertions of fact there were not true, and made them to the original poster,who is not only a seasoned Freeper,but who has extensive first hand knowledge of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin, and Bill O’Reilly.The original poster was also trying to teach the noob something constructive, with links, etc.
I’d rather be thought of as an ass than to allow unsupported opinion stated as a fact about a dangerous group of people be pawned off as “a difference of opinion”.
And O’Reilly was not “ambushed” by anyone. If he had any brains, he would know that Medea and her group are responsible for the active, monetary and pokitical support of the same people killing our troops fightinhg the War on Terror. MEdea is taking a picture with a banner. O’Reilly knows when you are smiling in a picture with a political banner, it is inferred you are agreement with the political statement.
All I know is, I don’t know any Freepers who would allow themselves to be in a ha-ha picture with Medea Benjamin and her ilk.
Thanks for your unsolicited opinion about me. I will file it appropriately.
Just because people have a different opinion on a subject does not mean they are insulting you. Honestly, you’re acting like a liberal.

For all intents and purposes, I agree with everything you said. BUT, I believe your use of personal attacks wasn’t really warranted given the tenor and direction of the dispute. My belief, my .02 worth...I acknowledge that. But I also believe that you’ll catch a helluva lot more flies with sugar than with vinegar.
Oh, and the “difference of opinion” I was referring to was the situations of this picture...NOT the history of Code Pink. kristinn was spot on in pointing him to their evil history.
