Bill O’Reilly shouts at Jeremy Glick His father was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Jeremy Glick was then one of 50,000 Americans, alongside Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen and Cornel West, who signed a statement which opposed the subsequent war in Afghanistan. Le Monde called the signed statement a “sacred text of the anti-war movement” and it was published in over 40 journals and newspapers across the US, and 7 countries internationally. Its main message was: “We believe that people of conscience must take responsibility for what their own governments do.” Bill O’Reilly referred to the signers of this statement as “anti-American” and said they should be “held accountable” for expressing their dissenting opinion. Invited onto the O’Reilly Factor to justify his actions Glick said: “Why would I want to further brutalize and punish the people of Afghanistan… The people of Afghanistan … didn’t kill my father.” He also highlighted that the CIA who had “…trained a hundred thousand Mujahedeen” bore some responsibility for the attacks on the twin towers. Watching the interview on YouTube it’s clear that it is Glick who remains calm and dignified whilst Bill O’Reilly, as usual loses his composure when he realises he is losing the argument. Unhappy that Glick had the temerity to hold an opposing view to his own O’Reilly shouts at him a lot (“…I don’t really care what you think,” “…You keep you mouth shut,” and “Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.”), before suggesting Glick’s Father would be ashamed were he alive to see his son now. After the interview he told Glick to “Get out, get out of my studio before I tear you to f**king pieces!” The following day, Bill O’Reilly claimed that Glick “was out of control and spewing hatred,” and that he had accused the Bush administration of orchestrating the events of 9/11 and murdering his Father. O’Reilly was clearly being economical with the actualité and so Glick contacted Al Franken for advice on possible legal action. After consulting with a lawyer Franken advised Glick against this as O’Reilly lies so pathologically that it would be almost impossible to prove that he knew he was lying.
