O\'Reilly
 
I can't believe nobody started one yet, so here's a starter:

Holy [censored].

Based upon the complaint, it would appear that she has recordings of him saying this stuff. I say this because it's so precise, including pauses, etc.

I like O'Reilly as a news guy, but if he's on tape saying any or all of this stuff to an employee, I'm done watching him, and I imagine Fox News will deserve the black eye they'll have.

Actually, it might be a bit worse than a black eye. Call it a "massive headwound."

Even if it doesn't amount to a legal definition of Sexual Harassment (time will tell on that one), I wouldn't be surprised at all to see O'Reilly out of a job pretty soon as a direct result of this.

Some thoughts of the top of my head on the subject.

If she tapped him it will be evidence that she was trying to extort money from him.

If Fox News fires O' Reilly, I'm sure theres a place for him in the porn industry.

Based on what I read, it seems very unlikely that she was an unwillingly participant in the conversations and if she recorded then I am almost certain that it was a planned set up all along. More than lieky a blackmail attempt that he fell right into.

Is O'reilly married?

Good one. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Those court documents were the funniest thing I've read in awhile. This is a movie script waiting to happen. The dad from "That 70's Show" could star as O'Reilly.

Do you know if any of the late night talk shows touched on this last night. Wednesday night was the first time they could have done it. It's a bit racy. But, I figure at least Comedy Central's Daily Show will use the court documents for some joke material.

not only is it shaped like a cock, but its a vibrator shaped like a cock that actually goes in his ass.

Re: O\'Reilly
 
It's obvious that she taped him from her direct quotes in the complaint...[censored] like "um,you know how hot it uh..it would be if um, we got naked..etc etc, plus her friend apparently was there.
And demanding money to not file suit isn't extortion its everyday life in the land of lawyers. They probally figured they would settle but O'Reilly is a bit stubborn so wouldn't be surpised if he thought I'll win the public opinion battle.--he may not have been aware that she had tapes.

If she has tapes then O'Reilly is toast...big time.

What?
He has to be the most arrogant, vile, impolite and vitriolic "news anchor" on the planet. How can these allegations surprise anyone?
Further, do many people you know discuss openly (never mind on national television) their sexual proclivities?

Of course these allegations surprise me, just like when Marv Albert was accused of biting people.

Re: O\'Reilly
 
Personally, I think for the most part, O'Reilly is a boob. But I am a bit suprised too. I do think that this case isnt as straightforward as it seems. Several points jumped out me when I read through the motion

1) Did she complain to anyone? I dont remember seeing this anywhere?
2) Why did she keep going to dinner with the guy after the first alleged incident?
3) Why did she go back to Fox to work for the same guy?

Now I am not saying there arent legitimate defenses to those points, but you can bet his lawyers will be all over them. Either way, Id say he is in deep doodoo.

First, there is no such thing as an objective point of view. Seriously though, how many other anchors tell interviewees to "shut up"?

I have to agree with this. What he did may have been inappropriate, but don't think it very likely it was illegal.
As you suggest, it doesn't matter. The court of public opionion has looser standards.

Is O'reilly married

[/ QUOTE ]

I think he is since Al Frankin said its a sad story and he feels sorry for O'Reilly's wife. Al said that he was mentioned in the Complaint, and felt he should make a brief comment. He said he felt sorry for Bill if its not true, he said we will have to wait and see...He also said he is changing the name of his show back to the "O'Frankin Factor", and laughed and said just kidding, and that was it. I haven't heard him mention anything else about the suit. He didn't go into details about cock shaped dildos (first I heard about it here), etc.

A similar sort of class would no doubt be shown by Conservative Talk Radio hosts.

BeerMoney 10-15-2004 12:51 PM

How Many of you are gonna buy a Vibrator now?
 
Hey, if O'Reilly's doing it, it's gotta be a good idea!

I think it might be a good idea to put in a group order.
Can anyone recommend a brand?
What size is preferred? Does it depend on body size?
I take huge dumps, should I get a huge vibrator?
Will I have to buy some lube, or is it made of a material that is agreeable to the human touch?
What do these things run on? Batteries? We should probably get rechargeables... Or, do they make diesel powered vibrators?!? I think that's a good idea cause I plan on putting plenty of miles on this thing.. But, it might be real loud, and then I couldn't hear myself when I talk to myself.. OK, so batteries..

Thoughts?

I made a dig at Conservative Radio hosts. I think they can take it. Rush made fun of Chelsea Clinton, he made barking noises making fun of a 12 year old girl. When Jerry Garcia dies, he said, well "just another druggie" died. What a hypocrite. A photo was taken of Abu Gareb with the caption, "Dog attacks Prisoner". Rush says no! the dog is just barking. More barking noises. Lot of laughs. It goes on and on. Real funny. After being shown another photo of the bloody man after the attack, he apologized. I guess you are right, he said he was sorry, he does have a lot of class.

Oh, and for your information, I have made dozens of posts without "making it into a dig on conservatives". Perhaps you missed my recent response to "AKo in the BB" or "Week 3 NFL picks" .

Re: O\'Reilly
 
Perhaps I should have emphasized that that was one instance of Al Frankin demonstrating class. He did not pile on O'Reilly. He spend 1 min. on the matter, and moved on. He expressed his sympathies in an tasteful manner, and let it go. So he showed class, not to say he IS classy in general. He's not really, but he's not as hurtful as Rush, and he makes me laugh (although not as hard as I made you laugh...OMG! ROFL (how many exclamations? oh...!!!!!!)

Man, first the fat slob Rush Limbaugh is determined to be a strung out synthetic heroin user who bashes drug users on his show without remorse, now Bill O'Reily is determined to be a cheating, dick in the ass loving, borderline rapist pervert. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

How do the conservatives feel about this? You people are always shouting on your soapbox about liberals morals and blah blah blah.

You have no credibility, anymore. The republican base is crumbling. You are all a bunch of sick, brain washed, souless creatures.

It's funny how the people that make the biggest public stink about other peoples morals and opinions, are 99% of the time trying to conceal their own very serious skeletons in the closet.

What a story. So Bill likes to masturbate with vibrators!? Anyone know if he was an alter boy? [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

If my boss were calling me up regularly and telling me about her sexual fantasies, I would call that a hostile work environment. That makes it illegal.

If he really did the things that are outlined in the brief I read on thesmokinggun, then she has an excellent case to make for a hostile work environment. There is also possibly a case for quid pro quo harrassment as well.

I have no idea if he did it, but it would not suprise me at all.

Clearly this has less to do with class and more to do with hedging his bets. If these allegations turn out to be completely untrue, how stupid would Franken look after jumping all over them? He may be every bit as biased and hateful as O'Reilly and Limbaugh but he is not stupid.
Now, if some tapes come out, or if the claims are substantiated in some other way, you can bet your ass Franken will attack it like a rabid rhino. And hey, it's fair game. But at this point in the game, class has very little to do with it.

He hasn't. In each interview he just says its unfair that he is being targeted for extortion and blackmail. He hasn't once said its unfair because the charges are untrue. He just says my lawyer says I can't talk about it.
