Youtube is fast becoming the greatest and most useful webpage in existence. It allows us to post video footage directly to our blogs without having to upload it all. Here's one I came across on Captain Rational's site and just had to post here. It's Keith Olbermann shredding Bill O'Reilly and catching him in a lie about American troops during WW2 - not once, but twice. View it below:

Back in October, Jamie McCarthy and I castigated Bill O'Reilly for implying that at Malmedy in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge U.S. Airborne troops had massacred Nazis soldiers who had surrendered when in fact the Malmedy massacre was perpetrated by SS troops to whom U.S. soldiers had…
I guess the "Beat on Conservatives Who Make Fools of Themselves" trifecta is in play, so I might as well run with this. Keith Olbermann unleashes a massive smackdown on Bill O'Reilly. Transcript and video are at onegoodmove.

I have a bit of a love-hate thing going for Keith Olbermann of MSNBC news. On the one hand, when he takes down Bill O'Reilly for defaming U.S. troops or Sarah Palin for anti-science idiocy, I have to admit, he's effective and sometimes even amusing. However, like some others, I often find him…
Keith Olbermann routinely declares Bill O'Reilly to be The Worst Person in the World, but I thought yesterday's edition was especially amusing:
And our winner? Oh, it's a two-for, Bill-O offering you this splendid deal, buy a copy of his book, “I'm Squinting While Wearing a Wind Breaker” -- no, I…
Wow. I'm not even sure what O'Reilly's point was in the first place - two of *our own* wrongs make a right?
This isn't the first time O'Reilly has done this. I launched into him the first time but assumed it was just a slipup on his part. This second time around led me to believe that he is so desperate to justify abuses in Iraq that he's willing to slime the U.S. Army during WWII. Indeed, there were some interesting comments in my most recent post about just this despicable denigration of U.S. troops suggesting that maybe O'Reilly had been "remembering" scenes from Saving Private Ryan as history.
Simple: WWII was 'the good war'. Anything we did in that war was good, so if we do the same now, it is good.
O'Reilly and Fox must be sharing tips with the DI and UD blog.
