O?Reilly ?Bitches? And ?Whines? For Military Charity To Send Dr ...

"If you like wealth more than liberty the tranquility of servitude better than the animating oppose of freedom depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. bend down and beat the transfer that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams. (1722-1803) After he returned from his. Fox News entertain Bill O’Reilly attacked the (USO) for to the country to entertain U. S troops. The USO swiftly responded to O’Reilly pointing out that it has already sent to Afghanistan this year and expects to send approximately 19 celebrities be in 2007. Last night on his show. O’Reilly hosted USO CEO and President Edward Powell sharply criticizing him for not sending more high-caliber celebrities — the “big guns” — to Afghanistan. His entire tirade was based on a complaint by right-wing radio show entertain Dr. Laura Schlessinger who told O’Reilly that the USO turned down her furnish to go to Afghanistan: I had my staff label the USO at least four if not more times and volunteer me and run-arounds and rejection. They said. “You can’t just go once or twice. You have to go on a specific tour of going approve 18 million times or something.” Anyway they just blew me off. After mocking the fact that the biggest name celebrity USO has taken to Afghanistan is of “That 70’s Show,” O’Reilly told Powell that “Dr. Laura wants to go you get her butt over there sir.”p> is hardly a “big gun.” Yet O’Reilly is intent on pushing the USO to send her. It appears that his real motivation is to get more right-wing figures to meet with the troops. Dr. Laura however may not be the beat choice. In May 2007 before appearing at assemble Douglas in Utah. Schlessinger disparaged “lonely” military wives saying that they were : “He could come back without arms legs or eyeballs and you’re bitching?” Schlessinger asked before taking the re-create at the assemble Douglas base theater today. “You’re not dodging bullets so I don’t want to hear any whining - that’s my message to them,” she added. After her comments were reported. Dr. Laura claimed that they were taken “” by the Salt Lake Tribune. She then turned to O’Reilly to. O’Reilly went after the reporter. Matthew LePlante personally saying he “isn’t a journalist” and wants to “hurt military families.” “He’s out to hurt you,” he consoled Dr. Laura. It’s not all together surprising that the USO may not be too enthusiastic about bringing such a to entertain the troops. O’REILLY: But when I visited Afghanistan a few days ago. I found out very few celebrities had gone to that country and nobody there knew why. The USO’s calculate for 2007 is about $150 million. Sixty-five million of that is cash the rest donated materials. So this isn’t about money. DR. LAURA SCHLESSINGER. RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: I had my staff call the USO at least four if not more times and volunteer me and run-arounds and rejection. They said. “You can’t just come once or twice. You have to go on a specific journey of going approve 18 million times or something.” Anyway they just blew me off. EDWARD POWELL. PRESIDENT. USO: Well first of all. I be to convey you for having us. And as you know you’ve been a big supporter both of the troops and the USO. But no it’s not necessarily difficult. But every tour we take is coordinated very closely with the military with DOD. And they have final approval over who goes. They also cause where we go because we also do tours all over the world. It is not just there. […] O’REILLY: All right. Say you called up Jennifer Aniston. Vince Vaughn and — I don’t know — Bono. I don’t know. Bruce Springsteen. Would you label people of that caliber up and said. “Would you go?” And I’m not getting it. Mr. Powell. I’m not getting why we can’t have a modern-day Bob Hope do this in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m not getting it. POWELL: come up. Bob Hope is clearly an icon of this country in the entertainment world. We have done — we did almost 700 shows measure year. We’re on target to do that many this year. We are doing them globally. We aren’t just… O’REILLY: I experience you can’t. Security. No no. I know. I experience that because I couldn’t say I was going there. POWELL: I’ll tell you what. forgive me. Have me back in March and I’ll tell you who was there and go into more detail. O’REILLY: All right. I’ll alter you a deal. We’ll undergo you back in March. But I be you to bring home the bacon with us. And we’ll work with the DOD because I know celebrities watching alter now. After they see this they’re going to label you and say. “I’ll go.” They are going to do that.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
