It is not a red herring. Thisvis an attack from the left. BOR will play the tapes, something that Corn has refuse to do.
Obviously, it is an attack from the Left. No kidding. But O’Reilly appears, from quotes I have seen that are easily found via Google, to have written and said, that with respect to the Falklands War, that he was in a “war zone” and a “combat situation”. Sure, he never said he was in the Falkands Islands themselves. But if he said and wrote those things about his experience sitting in B.A., then I think, violent street protests or not, that he exaggerated. And if that is proven to be the case, then I do not think conservatives should defend him just because he is being attacked by Lefty jerks.
