Crooks and Liars » O’Reilly cancelled from speaking at Missing Kids

Crooks and Liars » O’Reilly cancelled from speaking at Missing Kids:



I guess our perseverance paid off. I wrote*:

I challenge the National Center for Missing Kids to make O'Reilly apologize to Shawn before he speaks at an event for them being held in Naples, Fl. I've called their branch and I'm waiting for a comment, but I doubt they even know about O'Reilly's behavior.

Olbermann also talked about this…..I was looking for an apology on O'Reilly's part, but the NCMEC took it upon themselves to cancel him from appearing:

In response to the numerous e-mails and inquiries we have received, we are providing the following update regarding the Collier County, Florida branch fundraising dinner scheduled for March 9, 2007 in Naples, Florida. Bill O’Reilly, host of The O’Reilly Factor, will not be a speaker at the dinner. The dinner will be held as scheduled. John Walsh, host of America’s Most Wanted, will be the keynote speaker.

We would like to thank everyone for their comments and e-mails.

I have a call in to verify this web posting, (it's verified) but it looks like C&Lers helped to make them aware of Bill's outrageous behavior….(h/t Doren)

*[I posted this outrageous video of O'Reilly blaming Shawn Hornbeck for not escaping Michael Devlin (He liked Devlin.) when he had the chance. (fun and games…rough transcript)

O"Reilly: I'm not buying this….If you have a strong bond with your family…even if the guy threatens you–this and that. You're riding your bike around, you got friends. The kid didn't go to school. There's all kinds of stuff. If you can get away, you get away Alright, if you're eleven."
