O’Reilly Loses It As Alan Colmes Stands Up To His “The Left Is Anti-American” Rhetoric On Fox News

Bill O’Reilly and Monica Crowley were in fine patriotic form last night (2/1/11) as they “proved” conclusively how much they love America by dishing out a segment full of hate and scorn toward their fellow Americans. The targets this time were Sam Donaldson, who had the nerve to praise Al Jazeera for its coverage of the Egypt uprising, and “the far left,” because – well, just because.

Cavuto's guest was Vince Micco, alternatively identified as a sergent in the U.S. Army (Ret.) and as a "counter-intelligence agent." We know Micco as a Republican who ran for Congress last year who Fox practically endorsed.

MacCallum Gets Caught Fact-Less

Martha MacCallum got caught claiming last week that Iraqi insurgents were "cheering in the streets" after Democratic election victories when her only source for the statement was her boss's email.
