DROWNING POOL Slams BILL O'REILLY In Video Message

December 3, 2007

Texas hard rock band DROWNING POOL has taken exception to recent on-air remarks by Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly that he and is one of only two "celebrities" to support the troops via the USO. The group said in a press release, "This is simply (and sadly, typically) absolutely false. A number of musical artists, actors and comedians have done troop tours via the USO, including DROWNING POOL, who have visited the troops and performed for them on three separate occasions. Additionally, the band have donated a portion of all of their U.S. tour revenues to the USO and to other causes that support the troops."

In response to the "false" allegations by Bill O'Reilly, DROWNING POOL has created a two-minute video message, which can be viewed below.
