Thread Name: BS: 'Lies and the Liars Telling Lies'
Subject: RE: BS: 'Lies and the Liars Telling Lies'
We saw O'Reilly and Franken on CSPAN, both on the same stage, both pitching their new books. Franken used his time to detail the charges made in his book about O'Reilly, stating specifically when and about what O'Reilly lied.

O'Reilly was cleary pissed but his only response was an ad hominem attack on Franken. He did not dispute the facts. He only attempted to minimize the magnitude of his lie by saying he "misspoke".

It seems to us that if the facts were not true, O'Reilly or Fox would have sued or, at least, O'Reilly would have disputed them on TV. In fact, according to Franken, the reason Fox sued over the title was that O'Reilly was pissed but unable to sue over the accusations.
