O'Reilly is outraged about the 'smear merchants' who he says 'lie' about him.
Sure there were lies. . .there was also plenty of truth; but O'Reilly better served by not going there. Too bad, he so determined that he will not take anyone. . .no matter how deserving; 'there' as well.
He has defensively jammed his own eye with a log which is probably close to his shoe size.
