USO Calls on O'Reilly for Support
Source: Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill O'Reilly should support the USO if he wants to help U.S. troops fighting abroad, the charity organization said in a curt letter to the Fox News Channel commentator.

The missive came a day after O'Reilly complained the charity organization was not sending enough celebrities to entertain troops in Afghanistan.

"If you really want to support America's service men and women and their families, please set the record straight," USO Chief Executive Edward Powell said in the letter, a copy of which was received by The Associated Press.

O'Reilly was traveling and could not immediately be reached for comment.

3. Misleading headline. USO is telling O'Rielly to put his money where his mouth is
They aren't calling on O'Rielly for support. They are telling him that he shouldn't be criticizing the people who are doing something while he sits back fat and sassy and safe raking in the bucks behind a radio mike.

8. You did know that he is currently returning from visiting the troops in Afghanistan. Right?
Because in that light, comment seems rather foolish.

9. WTF could O'Lielly bring to a USO tour? He sure as hell isn't an entertainer.




He's a goddam hatemonger and a Faux fearmonger. The object of a USO tour is to improve morale. An O'Louffa appearance would certainly be counterproductive. This must have been arranged by BushCo.

Personally, I would love for him to find the meaning of 'friendly fire' while he's there.
