We all will have to wait for the legal system to untangel this mess and so far, I take no side on this latest "scandal." Regardless of whether or not the woman has a legitimate claim to sexual harassment, whether or not she is a gold digging, lying, embezzler, (which she very well might be) if there exists recorded tapes that backup that he did have such discussions, his career is finished.
I'm with you on this one, Connie! :)Quote:

Debbie, in addition to a talk radio show, Bill O'Reilly also has a very large audience on his nightly show on Fox News Network called The O'Reilly Factor. He comes on our local talk radio at 6 pm, so I rarely hear him. He is not one of my favorites, but he does, at times, have some thought provoking topics and he is not afraid to speak his mind about Republicans and Democrats alike.
Oh, another one of [i]those[/b] guys. Guess I'm not missing much. ;)Quote:

I agree with Mugsy AND Pam. It seems awfully strange that all this comes out 3 weeks before the elections. How come this nothing was said about it up till now??? Hmmmm.Quote:
O'Reilly needs to answer to the charges and be done with it. I do think that it is financially motivated and not politically motivated.
Personally, I think O'Reilly is an arrogant, pompous self-centered individual. I've seen him in action on tv just recently and had to change the channel I was so annoyed. Yelling at people and telling them to "shut up" is NOT my idea of a professional.
Convenient that she wants $60 million dollars....:mad: :mad:
Bill was not on the O'Reilly Factor last night but will be back on Monday. I'm sure I'll take hits for this, but, it smacks of money grubbing whining. O'Reilly's lawyer asked the prosecuter to get the tapes. I've read reports from a lot of sources (yes, both liberal and conservative) and I still think this woman is the type that gives people who are REAL victims of sexual harassment a bad name. I do agree that O'Reilly is a pompous @$$ but, I think he's getting the shaft on this one.
And I agree also....how can you be "FORCED" to have phone sex. The stupid wench could have hung up IF it actually happened. I really dislike whiny women (and men for that matter).
I agree with you, Mugsy. If I were her, the first time anything happened, I would have hung up the phone, quit my job and then sued him. Of course, maybe she's not a strong independent woman like me! :D Maybe she got some bad legal advice, maybe she resents him and is trying to take him down, maybe it's politically motivated (though I doubt it)...who knows. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
Christa - that's interesting about her former boss at CNN!! :eek: I'd hadn't heard that. Where did you read that? Link please! :)
As much as I dislike O'Reilly, no one should have to go down for something they didn't do.
This is hilarious...I can't believe that you people are using your energy to defend a man who BRAGGED ABOUT CHEATING ON HIS PREGNANT WIFE WITH HOT ITALIAN WOMEN WHILE HE VISITED WITH THE POPE.
Sure, the accuser is most likely out for money. The whole thing is shady, but the man is on tape with this and he has not denied one scrape of it.
When you get out your bullhorn and chastize everyone for a lack of family values and society's moral decay, be prepared to get your ass kicked when you're caught CHEATING ON YOUR PREGNANT WIFE and SUBJECTING EMPLOYEES TO YOUR SEXUAL FANTASIES AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO USE CERTAIN EQUIPMENT.
It's hilarious and completely tragic. It's also proof that no one has any dignity any more. This man is a disgusting hypocrite and he deserves everything coming his way.
Oh my! Such righteous indignation! What would be laughable would be imagining a James Carville (what a studmuffin... NOT!) or Paul Begala doing such a thing. :p Somehow I don't think you would be wasting your time posting about it then. Take a few deep breaths Soledad. It's really no big Whoop. :rolleyes:Quote:

Carville and Begala were not the ones to make someone's sex life fodder for public discussion. And I also don't hear them talking about how profound their family values are.
It's interesting to me that you, such a devout Christian, think someone lying and cheating on their wife and propositioning anything with legs is "no big whoop." I agree for the most part, unless the person in question is the same one playing sanctimonous family guy on tv.
Ok Soledad, let me get this straight....you hope that O'Reilly gets everything thrown at him because you don't like his morals yada yada yada, even IF this woman is only doing this for "revenge" or more likely for the money. So it really doesn't matter how awful this woman is and what her motivation is, just as long as O'Reilly gets stuck.
Now, I am not disputing his cheating on his wife, but, where did you get this information?
And exactly how is this different than our former commander in chief who was entertained by his intern in the oval office (which I still honestly could care less about....it's between him and Hillary)?

Mugsy, O'Reilly has long talked about other people being scumbags for cheating on their wives and not having real family values. As a result, I think his personal life is completely open for criticism since he's used it against others.
It makes him not only a cheater, but a hypocrite. I suggest you go to the website where the deposition is. It's not for kids to read, so you'll have to search a bit since I won't supply a link.
It has all the details you'll need. O'Reilly has not disputed any of what the accuser says, he's only said that she's an extortionist.
I did read it. Well, at least part of it....it got old and boring fairly quickly. I'm not disputing that if everything happened that she says happened did, then that's morally wrong, but, to say that he deserves everything he gets because of his morality is nothing different than the people who were outraged and said that Clinton should be impeached because of his morals.
I'm not going to lie and say I don't enjoy listening to O'Reilly because he is entertainment to me, but, I'm also not going to say that what he did (if everything is true, which I don't necessarily think it is) is right.
That doesn't necessarily follow. My whole point is that the only reason I care about O'Reilly cheating on his wife in such a tactless manner IS BECAUSE he was one of those people calling Clinton a scumbag and calling for his impeachment.Quote:

If O'Reilly thinks someone's sex life is fair game and reason enough to fire someone, then the same should apply to him. He's a hypocrite.
