So Bill O'Reilly supports rapists and is ok with people raping 14-year old kids
I don't care if you support his war or believe it's wrong. Rape is Rape is Rape. And the fact that O'Reilly wants people to take signs to this movie supporting our troops is just WRONG. First, supporting our troops and demanding justice for this child are TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE THINGS. This is an animal that cruely violated and murdered a child. I don't care who the person is or if they are serving their country - there is never EVER any justification of rape.

To me Reilly is only supporting these actions with his stupid protest

'Redacted' To Confront Protests


Director Brian De Palma's latest film Redacted is scheduled to open tomorrow (Friday) in limited release as theater owners brace for possible protests. The film, inspired by the case of the rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by U.S. soldiers, has been condemned by Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly, who called on his audience to bring signs to theaters reading "Support Our Troops" and predicted that the movie "will incite anti-American hatred around the world." He also called the film's executive producer, Mark Cuban, an "anti-American" and encouraged fans of the Dallas Mavericks, which Cuban owns, to protest against the film at the team's games. O'Reilly described De Palma as "a true villain in our country." In response to such verbal assaults, the director told the Canadian Press, "I have been needlessly attacked in the press and the blogs as a left-wing wacko who should be horse-whipped, and how can I say anything terrible about what's going on in relation to the troops? ... I just state what I feel very strongly, and I don't have to be loved. ... I'm not running for office." In a separate interview with Philadelphia City Paper, De Palma accused the media of soft-pedaling the Iraq war, whereas during the Vietnam War, "we saw the images. We saw our casualties, we saw their casualties. That's what got us out into the streets, and that's what got us out of the war." At the end of Redacted, he shows a montage of victims of the Iraq War as well, although their faces have been digitally obscured, reportedly on orders from Cuban. Nevertheless, De Palma observed, the original photographs appear all over the Internet "and yet none of these images has ever gotten into the mainstream media. ... How does that happen?"

2. Perhaps his argument is that the girl enjoyed it.
You know, just like he said Shawn Hornbeck did. I mean, she didn't have to go to school or anything.

5. And he's commented on a kidnapped and raped kid "enjoying it"...
The guy is just BURSTING to scream his sickness to the world, IMHO...
It's just below the surface, and sometimes he "slips" and shows it
pretty darn clearly.

4. Let O'Reilly Rage
I doubt very many will show up to protest and O'Reilly's ranting is probably generate more buzz for the film.

7. I know and the more he rants
the more people will hear about the movie and the events that occurred. A controversial movie usually gains more ticket sales.
