On Tuesday's Countdown, Keith Olbermann takes on the Falafel Guy for his outrageous attacks on Mark Cuban and his total lack of knowledge when it comes to the history of free speech. O'Reilly has suggested that somehow FDR would have arrested and jailed Cuban for producing a movie like Brian De Palma's Redacted (which he admits he's never seen) or for simply criticizing BillO himself.

O'Reilly also called on his minions to boycott Redacted and hold signs up saying "support the troops" outside any theater that shows the film and at Maverick games. Like those 70-80 year olds that make up most of Billo's audience are going to go sit outside the American Airlines Center with signs.

Cuban responded by challenging The Culture Warrior to watch the movie with him and appear with him on Countdown to talk about the movie -- of course, Keith would get to moderate.

Olbermann: "He (Cuban) has been under Bill O'Reilly's evil gaze since March of this year and as usual, BillO's King Lear act in which he threatens somebody with terrible consequences and boycotts and plagues of locusts, has produced nothing tangible other than making the object of his impotent rage richer."
