Here's the transcript, in which Bill-O calls Cuban "anti-American":
Example No. 2: Texas billionaire Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks, has financed a movie that portrays American soldiers in Iraq as murderers and rapists.
There is no question this film will incite anti-American hatred around the world, but Cuban doesn't care and has lashed out at me for reporting the situation:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MARK CUBAN, 'REDACTED' EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Well, this guy's never seen the movie, but he's out there threatening Mark Cuban, if you really move, I'm coming after you. Like it really hurts, right, you know. But at the same time, there is every bit of me that just wants to say, Bill O'Reilly is a moron.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Okay — this is for you, Mr. Cuban: I would never sit through a movie that shows American troops raping and murdering a 14-year-old girl... ever.
While you're "Dancing With the Stars," sir, hundreds of thousands of brave military people are risking their lives so you can do the mambo without fear of some terrorist blowing you up. Your arrogance is horrifying.
During World War II, President Roosevelt might have incarcerated Mark Cuban and General Patton would have slapped the tar out of him. But today, Cuban's anti-American actions are ignored in many quarters. That must change.
So I am asking Dallas Mavericks ticket holders to bring signs to the arena that say "Support the Troops." Very simple: "Support the troops." In that way, Cuban might get the message.
And if any movie theater in your neighborhood shows this vile film "Redacted," let's stand in front of the theater with the same sign: "Support the troops."
Even if you disagree with the Iraq war, even if you dislike President Bush, no loyal American should support an enterprise that incites hatred against America.
For some reason, Mark Cuban has a grudge against this country. In a free society he's entitled to that. He's not entitled to put our troops in even more danger.
And that's The Memo.
