From Pensito:

"In Malmedy, as you know, U.S. forces captured SS forces who had their hands in the air, and they were unarmed, and they shot them down," O’Reilly said referring to the Belgian town of Malmedy, which was fought over during the Battle of the Bulge. "You know that. That's on the record, been documented. In Iwo Jima, the same thing occurred. Japanese attempted to surrender, and they were burned in their caves."

Bill O'Reilly

But O'Reilly's historical certainty was astonishingly misplaced. First, at Malmedy, the atrocity on Dec. 17, 1944, was the other way around: about 86 surrendering U.S. soldiers were massacred by German SS panzer forces in one of the most notorious war crimes on the Western Front.

Imagine the reaction if a Democrat had made these false statements. We'd be hearing about liberals who hate America and hate our troops and all the rest of it.

To be honest... I dont think even hard core right wingers take this idiot seriously.
