More stupidity from Bill O'Reilly

The depth of Bill O'Reilly's ignorance evidently has no bounds. He had Bill Maher on The Factor last week and they discussed the civilian death toll in Iraq. O'Reilly, apparently just making shit up of the top of his head, called the Lancet Study, which estimated that 655,000 Iraqis have died due to the war, a "far left web site."

This is beyond ridiculous.

Let us be clear. Not only is the Lancet Study not "far left," it is also not a "web site." Here is The Washington Post description of the study.

The survey was done by Iraqi physicians and overseen by epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. The findings are being published online today by the British medical journal the Lancet.

Is there any statistic or reality that O'Reilly won't blame on a"far left web site?"
