O'Reilly Takes Off His Mask

Here's the transcript to an interview Bill O'Reilly conducted with Jeremy Glick, a political activist, co-author of the book Another World is Possible, and supporter of Not in Our Name. Glick's father also died in the attacks on 9/11.

"Out of respect" for Glick's father, O'Reilly cannot let his son's "warped view of this country" go without challenge. In turn, Glick accuses O'Reilly of evoking "9/11 to rationalize everything from domestic plunder to imperialistic aggression worldwide."

Apparently, "if you're Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly will defend your right to free speech. If you're Jeremy Glick, he'll tell you to shut up and cut your mic." Fair and balanced, as always.
