Pundit RhetIraq: Bill O'Reilly
Who: Bill O'Reilly, Syndicated Radio Talk Show host & host of "The O'Reilly Factor" TV Show
Source: Media Matters for America
Quotes: From article titled, O'Reilly: U.S. should leave Iraq "as fast as humanly possible" because "there are so many nuts in the country"
During the February 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly suggested that the United States "hand over everything to the Iraqis as fast as humanly possible" because "[t]here are so many nuts in the country -- so many crazies -- that we can't control them." O'Reilly then claimed that the "big mistake" was actually "the crazy-people underestimation."
As Media Matters for America has documented, during a November 30, 2005, appearance on NBC's Today, O'Reilly called those advocating immediate withdrawal from Iraq "pinheads" and compared them to Hitler appeasers.
