Here is the transcript of the appearance of Walid Shoebat and Zak Anani on The O'Reilly Factor posted at American Congress for Truth. It's good to see these guys getting face time in front of a big audience. (H/T: Mike)
Former Terrorists Speak Up On Bill O'Reilly
SHOEBAT: Absolutely. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. The media -- I don't see anything in the media. I stopped watching the media.
The media is the streets of what's happening over in the West Bank. Can I go to Ramallah, stand in the street corner, and have a pamphlet saying suicide bombing is wrong. I will be executed within seconds.
They don't show in the media the killings galore that happens in Manger Square, the dragging of other Palestinian bodies.
O'REILLY: Right.
SHOEBAT: .in the streets. They don't show these things...
It sure would be nice if they could get some face time with someone more competent than O'Reilly. He didn't exactly ask penetrating questions. Every time I read one of his transcripts, he comes across as a fool even when I agree with his basic position.
Can't Pajamas Media get a big-time moderate blogger or columnist to do an interview?
Yeah, although I generally like him, O'Reilly is one of the last people I want representing me in a scrap, although it doesn't matter as much in a friendly interview like this.
