I got this off another site...you be the judge.
On a recent show of his Bill O'Reilly learned that a family member of a 9/11 victim had signed 'the not in our name' statement of conscience ad that appeared in the New York Times on Jan. 27th and promised to invite him on the show... here is the transcript of someone who was finally really able to stick it to him.
O'REILLY: In the "Personal Stories" segment tonight, we were surprised
to find out than an American who lost his father in the World Trade Center
attack had signed an anti-war advertisement that accused the USA itself
of terrorism.
The offending passage read, "We too watched with shock the horrific
events of September 11... we too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook
our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage -- even as we recalled similar
scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and a generation ago, Vietnam."
With us now is Jeremy Glick, whose father, Barry, was a Port Authority
worker at the Trade Center. Mr. Glick is a co-author of the book "Another
World is Possible."
I'm surprised you signed this. You were the only one of all of the families
who signed...
JEREMY GLICK: Well, actually, that's not true.
O'REILLY: Who signed the advertisement?
GLICK: Peaceful Tomorrow, which represents 9/11 families, were also
involved.
O'REILLY: Hold it, hold it, hold it, Jeremy. You're the only one who
signed this advertisement.
GLICK: As an individual.
O'REILLY: Yes, as -- with your name. You were the only one. I was
surprised, and the reason I was surprised is that this ad equates the United
States with the terrorists. And I was offended by that.
GLICK: Well, you say -- I remember earlier you said it was a moral
equivalency, and it's actually a material equivalency. And just to back
up for a second about your surprise, I'm actually shocked that you're
surprised. If you think about it, our current president, who I feel
and many feel is in this position illegitimately by neglecting the voices
of Afro-Americans in the Florida coup, which, actually, somebody got
impeached for during the Reconstruction period -- Our current president now
inherited a legacy from his father and inherited a political legacy that's
responsible for training militarily, economically, and situating geopolitically
the parties involved in the alleged assassination and the murder of my
father and countless of thousands of others. So I don't see why it's surprising...
O'REILLY: All right. Now let me stop you here. So...
GLICK: ... for you to think that I would come back and want to support...
O'REILLY: It is surprising, and I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why it's
surprising.
GLICK: ... escalating...
O'REILLY: You are mouthing a far left position that is a marginal
position in this society, which you're entitled to.
GLICK: It's marginal -- right.
O'REILLY: You're entitled to it, all right, but you're -- you see, even --
I'm sure your beliefs are sincere, but what upsets me is I don't think
your father would be approving of this.
GLICK: Well, actually, my father thought that Bush's presidency was
illegitimate.
O'REILLY: Maybe he did, but...
GLICK: I also didn't think that Bush...
O'REILLY: ... I don't think he'd be equating this country as a terrorist
nation as you are.
GLICK: Well, I wasn't saying that it was necessarily like that.
O'REILLY: Yes, you are. You signed...
GLICK: What I'm saying is...
O'REILLY: ... this, and that absolutely said that.
GLICK: ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahadeens to combat a democratic
government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government.
O'REILLY: All right. I don't want to...
GLICK: Maybe...
O'REILLY: I don't want to debate world politics with you.
GLICK: Well, why not? This is about world politics.
O'REILLY: Because, No. 1, I don't really care what you think.
GLICK: Well, OK.
O'REILLY: You're -- I want to...
GLICK: But you do care because you...
O'REILLY: No, no. Look...
GLICK: The reason why you care is because you evoke 9/11.
O'REILLY: Here's why I care.
GLICK: ... to rationalize...
O'REILLY: Here's why I care...
GLICK: Let me finish. You evoke 9/11 to rationalize everything from
domestic plunder to imperialistic aggression worldwide.
O'REILLY: OK. That's a bunch.
GLICK: You evoke sympathy with the 9/11 families.
O'REILLY: That's a bunch of crap. I've done more for the 9/11 families
by their own admission -- I've done more for them than you will ever hope
to do.
GLICK: OK.
O'REILLY: So you keep your mouth shut when you sit here exploiting
those people.
GLICK: Well, you're not representing me. You're not representing me.
O'REILLY: And I'd never represent you. You know why?
GLICK: Why?
O'REILLY: Because you have a warped view of this world and a warped
view of this country.
GLICK: Well, explain that. Let me give you an example of a parallel...
O'REILLY: No, I'm not going to debate this with you, all right.
GLICK: Well, let me give you an example of parallel experience. On
September 14.
O'REILLY: No, no. Here's -- here's the...
GLICK: On September 14...
O'REILLY: Here's the record.
GLICK: OK.
O'REILLY: All right. You didn't support the action against Afghanistan
to remove the Taliban. You were against it, OK.
GLICK: Why would I want to brutalize and further punish the people in
Afghanistan.
O'REILLY: Who killed your father!
GLICK: The people in Afghanistan...
O'REILLY: Who killed your father.
GLICK: ... didn't kill my father.
O'REILLY: Sure they did. The al Qaeda people were trained there.
GLICK: The al Qaeda people? What about the Afghan people?
O'REILLY: See, I'm more angry about it than you are!
GLICK: So what about George Bush?
O'REILLY: What about George Bush? He had nothing to do with it.
GLICK: The director -- senior as director of the CIA.
O'REILLY: He had nothing to do with it.
GLICK: So the people that trained a hundred thousand Mujahadeen who
were...
O'REILLY: Man, I hope your mom isn't watching this.
GLICK: Well, I hope she is.
O'REILLY: I hope your mother is not watching this because you -- that's it.
I'm not going to say anymore.
GLICK: OK.
O'REILLY: In respect for your father...
GLICK: On September 14, do you want to know what I'm doing?
O'REILLY: Shut up. Shut up.
GLICK: Oh, please don't tell me to shut up.
O'REILLY: As respect -- as respect -- in respect for your father, who was a
Port Authority worker, a fine American, who got killed unnecessarily by
barbarians.
GLICK: By radical extremists who were trained by this government...
O'REILLY: Out of respect for him...
GLICK: ... not the people of America.
O'REILLY: ... I'm not going to...
GLICK: ... The people of the ruling class, the small minority.
O'REILLY: Cut his mic. I'm not going to dress you down anymore, out of
respect for your father.
We will be back in a moment with more of THE FACTOR.
GLICK: That means we're done?
O'REILLY: We're done.
