General Wesley Clark is a member of the advisory board for votevets.org and Bill O'Reilly invited him on the show, probably to have a nice quaint discussion about why former members of the military have started such an organization. Let's take a look.... From Youtube...
George Soros gave Wes Clark's PAC 75K so Bill O'Reilly grilled the retired General and further smeared the Holocaust survivor for supporting liberal causes. Clark of course gave it right back, getting O'Reilly to admit to persoanl character assassination

61. I can not believe that people like Clark actualy sits down and argue with O'Rily, who has no credibility at all. Is'nt he the one who got caught for PHONE SEX?

62. For those who would blast O'Reilly for one mistake, to be consistant in your logic, you would then have to blast Bill Clinton too.

63. Say, what's the deal with AOL advertising something as a legitimate news story, then redirecting us to a blogger - most of the time with an obvious agenda. This is not even remotely -news.

65. How unprofessional of O'Reilly. He asks a question, then interrupts and blasts over General Clark. I have never seen another TV journalist sneer & smile simultaneously as much as Mr. O'Reilly. Low ratings do wonders. Turn the channel.

66. General Clark has been a man among men through his military career. Bill O'Reilly never served. Just looking at the men, know this fact, makes O'Reilly look like a small child in comparison, before he even opens his mouth.
I agree..... what about Murdock? Does Soros have more money than Murdock? O'Reilly is goofy and anyone who takes him seriously are just as goofy.
You heard the joke about Goofy and Minnie? Reminds me of Laura (Minnnie) and George (Micky) with goofy tagging along! ROFLOL
Hell, Clark won just on credentials alone!

67. Bill O’Reilly always has a lot to cry and whine about but always seem to be clueless when solid solutions are necessary. The Fox Conservative-Republican Right Wing extremists commentators steam the Anti-America-Democrat message and never have a real solution for AMerica's problems.
The Bill O’Reilly's only message is to be Anti-America-Democrat nothing more. They fail to admit they are clueless about anything else except being Anti-America-Democrat!

68. Bill O Reilly doesnt need help to make a complete ass of himself and his right wing radical views. But he dropped his guard in the debate with Clark and showed just how personally vindicative and weak he is. Clark kept his cool and O'Reilly showed what he truly is a loud-mouth on another one of Repert Murdoch's manhy Yellow Journalism ventures = Fox or should that be renamed Crock News? A bunch of angry 50-65 year old white men who mostly never even aprticipated in the military! Ever notice how they never seem to mention that?? Loud mouths and hate is all they are. How sad they are.

69. Mr. O'Reilly is a ranting and raving maniac! What was the point of all this? In what way was any of this constructive? It's pretty obvious there wasn't even opinion that any sane person can contemplate. It's Bill's way or the highway! What is the point of wasting anyone's precious time on this pure garbage! At what point does Fox News take his butt off the air? I don't think they know what real journalism or editorial is? Fox News is nothing more than shock therapy by the insane for the insane!

70. Clark is a pompous ass. He was relieved of his NATO command and now accepts donations from Soros. And if you nerd bloggers think that is OK, you are as gullible as Wesley. Good name for him. He would not have made corporal in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi

71. Remember Morton Downey, Jr.? He bullied and bellowed and brought loud bombast to television talk...and his fifteen minutes were up long before he passed away.
Mr. O'Reilly...do you hear the ticking of that clock? Were you listening on November 7, 2006? Your fifteen minutes are almost over...make tbe best of it, while you still have your friends in the Bush Administration listening.
You pathetic excuse of a journalist...have you no shame? Obviously, not.

74. Idon't know why General Clark wasted his time with O Reilly. He couldn't shine his boots. He is a punk a__ coward!!! And I speak with 20 years of military service (Vietnam/Desert Storm Vet) behind me.
