Wesley Clark rips Bill O'Reilly for 'character assassination'
In the video clip below, potential Democractic presidential candidate Wesley Clark calls out the host of Fox's The O'Reilly Factor for personal attacks on his colleagues and on associates of the retired general.
O'Reilly knocks another retired general for doing a commercial criticizing President Bush's conduct of the war in Iraq, then targets Clark himself for taking money from MoveOn.org founder George Soros.
Of Soros, O'Reilly rants, "He's a convicted felon in France, he ruined the British pound by selling it short..." Clark reacts by defending Soros' activism on behalf of democracy. Then, after O'Reilly says "my guys" would deliver a docket on Soros to Clark, the retired general angrily counters, "That's character assassination – I'm not interested..."
