O'Reilly Goes Pink

This past Monday night, Bill O'Reilly had Medea Benjamin, the founder of the "antiwar" group Code Pink, as a guest on his Fox News program, "The O'Reilly Factor."  Code Pink is the organization that has been holding anti-troop demonstrations outside Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. every week, countered by a large turnout from the DC Chapter of Free Republic (God bless FR.)

There are plenty of legitimate antiwar organizations whose spokepersons O'Reilly could have put on the Factor.  Instead, he chose to put on the founder of Code Pink, which gave thousands of dollars to the terrorists in Fallujah.  That's treason, and O'Reilly should not be dignifying it..

What makes this choice all the more puzzling is that independent conservative radio host Michael Savage is banned from the Factor, as I understand it.  Yet the virulently anti-American Code Pink is acceptable.  Why is Medea Benjamin an acceptable guest and Michael Savage unacceptable?  Is Bill upset because The Savage Nation has higher ratings than The Radio Factor?
