Bill O’Reilly Will Not Let This Tom Hanks Thing Go

Bill O’Reilly continued his not-at-all personal attack on Tom Hanks again last night, bringing on retired Lieutenant Colonel and Fox analyst Ralph Peters to discuss why Hanks has to “inject racism” into his new mini-series about the War Against Terror in Hanks’ new mini-series with Steven Spielberg, The Pacific. And this has nothing to do with last week, when Tom Hanks made fun of Fox News Italy, as evidenced by the fact that O’Reilly still continues to insist that Hanks is both a patriot and a pinhead.

Best: Peters: “In the Pacific, we responded to savagery with ruthlessness of our own, and we won. In the War Against Terror, we’ve responded with lawyers, and we’re not doing so well.” Maybe that’s because it takes a team of lawyers to figure out exactly who the enemy is in our “War Against Terror.” Is it the Islamist Jihads? Al-Qaeda? Are they in Afghanistan? Iraq? It’s like saying the War on Drugs didn’t succeed because we didn’t respond with enough ruthless savagery of our own.
