It appeared that way to me, too. And that makes me happy. I may not like O'Reilly or his politics, but I find him entertaining, especially when he goes after people I don't care about. I don't like Michael Moore and I find him insulting and annoying. If I had to choose, I'd choose O'reilly to win.
Call him a liar or whatever, but it's still fun to see him go after some clueless idot (whether ultrahippie liberal or fascistly conservative).
Also, did anyone see O'Reilly vs. Triumph the insult comic dog? At least O'reilly has a sense of humor about himself. "You and I are a lot alike." Indeed!

MOORE: Over 900 of our brave soldiers are dead. What do you say to their parents?
O'REILLY: What do I say to their parents? I say what every patriotic American would say: “We are proud of your sons and daughters. They answered the call that their country gave them. We respect them and we feel terrible that they were killed.”
MOORE: But what were they killed for?
O'REILLY: They were removing a brutal dictator who himself killed hundreds of thousands of people.
MOORE: Um, but that was not the reason that was given to them to go to war: to remove a brutal dictator.
O'REILLY: Well, we’re back to the weapons of mass destruction.
MOORE: But that was the reason…
O'REILLY: The weapons of mass destruction…
MOORE: That we were told we were under some sort of imminent threat…
O'REILLY: That’s right.
MOORE: And there was no threat, was there?
O'REILLY: It was a mistake.
MOORE: Oh, just a mistake, and that’s what you tell all the parents with a deceased child, “We’re sorry.” I don’t think that is good enough.
They were misinformed about weaons of mass destruction. that is not a lie. It is a mistake. O' Reily is right there. ANd what did they do while in Iraq? They removved a brutal dictator from power. Ask any soldier why they are there now, and they are there to liberate Iraq. Regardless of WMD, that is what their goal in Iraq was, Regime change.
