O'Reilly: "So he takes a cheap shot at his country that has done everything to get him out of there, then makes this kind of remark...so Gutfeld, do we send him back?
Greg Gutfeld: "You know, as much as we would like to...aren't they from Berkley? This was just said to impress their friends back home, to look cool, and get on the Rachel Maddow show."

O'Reilly: "But this pinhead, he finally gets out, the state department had done everything to get him out and he bashes his country!"

Arthel Norville: "I have no sympathy because they shouldn't have been hiking there in the first place. That's ridiculous--you don't hike in that area. It's not like America doesn't have any beautiful hiking areas."

O'reilly: "Yeah, hiking on the Iranian border--that's what I want to do on my next vacation."

Are they serious? What the hell is the matter with them? Are they so far right that they can be so uncompassionate...so unsympathetic? Can they not even phantom the thought what these two young men went through?

Ok, it's enlightenment time:

"After 781 days of prison, Shane and I are now free men," a jubilant Joshua Fattal announced, hours after he and Shane Bauer landed at Kennedy International Airport.

Safe on US soil, the two spoke for the first time in public about their ordeal of more than two years at the hands of Iranians — accused of spying for their country by illegally walking across the Iran-Iraq border.

They say they simply got lost while hiking with another American, Sarah Shourd, who was released last year.

The three paid a brutal price for their adventure, they said, "Many times, too many times, we heard the screams of other prisoners being beaten and there was nothing we could do to help them,"

Added Bauer: "How can we forgive the Iranian government when it continues to imprison so many other innocent people and prisoners of conscience?"

Bauer was himself beaten and Fattal forced down a flight of stairs, Shourd told reporters.

And though their families wrote them daily letters, they had to go on repeated hunger strikes to receive the letters, the men said.

The two managed to hold on to reality by reading letters sprinkled with news of what was happening in the world, Bauer's mother, Cindy Hickey, told The Associated Press.

Eventually, they were told — falsely — that their families had abandoned them.

Until their release, the last direct contact family members had with Bauer and Fattal was in May 2010, when their mothers were permitted a short visit in Tehran.

"Solitary confinement was the worst experience of all of our lives," Fattal said, "We lived in a world of lies and false hope"

"Many times, too many times, we heard the screams of other prisoners being beaten and there was nothing we could do to help them," Fattal said.

Added Bauer: "How can we forgive the Iranian government when it continues to imprison so many other innocent people and prisoners of conscience?"

Because of this simple statement by Bauer: "Two years in prison is too long, and we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in American and Iran"

You want to condemn them and to send them back. That they wanted to impress their friends back home, to look cool, and get on the Rachel Maddow show ( I wish!).And O'Reilly says - "But this pinhead, he finally gets out, the state department had done everything to get him out and he bashes his country!"

What the heck was that? Because he used the word American?

This is where I get confused or Mr. O'Reilly is living in his own little dream world. Because Mr. Bauer is right!

I suppose this was alright  too. 

You know, I am starting to wonder about O'Reilly. Does he honestly believe the things he says or thinks?

Talk about the "dumbest thing of the week".

Or wait, maybe it was about you quitting your 10 million a year show if your taxes are raised by 4.5 percent?
