On Hardball today Chris Matthews asked Robert Redford:

Matthews: You were accused of saying that you were going to Ireland if Bush wins.

Redford: Yea, I think that came from O'Reilly. It wasn't true......I'm an American and I love it here and I'm not leaving because of some barking dog on T.V.

On Bill O'Reilly's The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day from 11/4/04

O'Reilly: There is a report in "The National Post" of Canada -- which I cannot verify -- that actor Robert Redford may leave the USA because President Bush was reelected. Redford is thinking about moving to Ireland, according to that newspaper, but I may physically try to stop him from do that. Bob, hey, go to Canada, France, Croatia, not Ireland. Anyway, Redford has been running far-left propaganda on his Sundance channel.

What's disturbing about O'Reilly's observation is that he hates anything Canadian. It was just a cheap shot on Bill's part to use an unverified "Canadian source " against Redford as a smear tactic against anything Hollywood. The kind O'Reilly supposedly loathes. The kind that O'Reilly always says he never partakes in. Verification is his mantra. It's his obligation to the "folks."
