Awwwww! Boo-f*cking-hoo! LOL
'During a March 19 broadcast of The O'Reilly Factor, the feisty Fox talk-show host appeared wounded. "The Orange County Register dropped my column because I was in favor of the war," said O'Reilly. "I thought that was a good example of a paper that, you know, really fears freedom of speech."

'Those who don't read the Register might be shocked to learn that the paper's editorial writers - usually lockstep defenders of anything Republican - have bravely opposed the war in Iraq. Steven Greenhut, for example, has described the U.S. invasion as "nuts," bashed president George W. Bush for "treating the war in such a simplistic way," and fired back at fellow right-wingers - O'Reilly included - who say it's un-American to speak against the war.

'"Criticism of the war, while bombs are flying and coalition troops are under fire, makes me a 'bad' American, according to a certain blow-hard commentator whose idea of tough journalism is badgering guests with comments such as, 'Come on, Mr. So and So, you really don't believe blah, blah, blah,' " Greenhut wrote in a March 30 column.

'The Fox commentator's Orange County fans were not pleased.

'"As you might expect, the O'Reilly people are irrational," Greenhut told the Weekly. "Their phone calls and e-mail tirades accuse me of being un-American and [tell me] to shut up."' - link.
