Fox News Host Bill O’Reilly apologized on Thursday night for calling the network’s liberal commentator Alan Colmes a liar earlier in the week for saying that President Barack Obama made specific suggestions to cut entitlement programs.

“Even though I’m sorry I said Alan was lying, I should not have used that word, I’m glad the exposition occurred,” O’Reilly said during his introductory monologue on the 8 p.m. show “Talking Points.” …

The Left NEVER apologizes. NEVER.

And why apologize for calling a liar a liar?

Now O’Reilly can go back to what he does best - kissing Obama’s butt.

So I wonder what Obama’s plan to cut entitlements by $400B is? Did Monica Crowley mention it when she rushed to Alan’s defense.

O’Reilly apologizes for his first astute comment in years?

You're right . . . if he doesn't apologize, then Obambozostupidass will not be able to have softball questions thrown at him by this absolutely phony conservative on his next interview.

Hey O’Reilly I thought your program was a “no spin” zone. Colmes was lying through his teeth and now you start spinning what you meant. Stop the obfuscation and bloviating. Perhaps a better word for Colmes would be douchebag.

The Left NEVER apologizes. NEVER.

When the left apologizes it's almost always: I am sorry you misunderstood what I said.

O’Reilly doesn’t know how to play hardball. We need people who aren’t afraid to call people out on things in order to take this country back.

How long did Democrats go on and on about Bush “lying” about Iraq. I distinctively remember Ted Kennedy doing his thing.

Like someone else posted...the left NEVER apologizes. They demonize people and get into their personal lives, but never care as long as they win. I’m not saying that conservatives need to stoop to that level. They need to call out the left on their lies, though, and not be afraid to do it.

He could have used the typical leftist non-apology apology: "I'm sorry you were offended.".
Note how different that is from "I'm sorry I offended you." or "I'm sorry I said that."
O'Reilly should not have apologized at all but at least he used one of the honest forms.

Colmes is a propagandist: endlessly repeating the socialist line!

ALAN COLMES IS A LIAR

Do not expect an apology from me, as none will be forthcoming. When I see a duck, I call it a duck, not a sparrow.
