A calumny is a calumny and a general slander a general slander. O'Reilly picked an unrepresentative post, mistated in context and slandered us all. O'Reilly, slandered me, he slandered you.

What difference is there between O'Reilly's calumny and that of Scott Thomas Beauchamp's. Beauchamp slanders every one in the military the same way, imo.

FR is a great forum, and there are none better. No blog can match it.

calumny

noun
1. a false accusation of an offense or a malicious misrepresentation of someone's words or actions [syn: defamation]
2. an abusive attack on a person's character or good name [syn: aspersion]

The first time I saw O’Reilly I thought he was a pompous ass. I don’t think I’ve ever watched an entire episode of his show and I won’t turn on is radio show, but I realized that a lot of people enjoyed him and that was fine. But now that he is blatantly lying, I really can’t stand him.

When I got to thinking about it, I realized that O’Reilly has NEVER apologized when he was wrong and the inability to admit a mistake is very telling indicator of a person’s moral character. If I was Kristinn, it would have taken every ounce of restraint for me not to ask O’Reilly if he had settled any more sexual harassment suits recently.
