Also, I find it hilarious how far right the left liberal candidate is going to come to the center in the primary. After they get all the money and support from left wingers and yes, they get money from "BIG BAD" corporations too. However you “spin” it he is right and not just “neo-con” right.

Ok, I'm a man. I'm white. And I'm angry at what has happened to our country under the President Chimpy regime. I love reading the comments on blogs - a lot of you guys and gals are very passionate and that's a great thing. Except for the righties who are scared to death of real people with real opinions. Shrill O'Really goes off on these rants because ya'll scare this man to death. Why? Truth. And that's something Mr. O'Really doesn't want you to know.

Morelli, and Morelli's law firm for extortion, contending Mackris had privately demanded more than $60 million (USD) to settle a claim of sexual harassment. Morelli did not deny that they had demanded the settlement prior to filing the complaint, but did deny the allegations of extortion. Later that same day, Mackris filed a complaint of sexual harassment against O'Reilly, claiming that O'Reilly had made numerous references to "phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and other sexual fantasies". The details of some of these fantasies resembled scenes in a book written by O'Reilly, Those Who Trespass. The specificity with which Ms. Mackris recounted O'Reilly's telephone calls led many to believe that she had taped the calls. The existence of these tapes, and O'Reilly's desire that they never be made public, were seen by many as the reason for the prompt settlement of the suit in Mackris's favor. According to many accounts, O'Reilly paid many millions to make the lawsuit go away. The complaint also sought additional damages and described alleged actions of retaliation by Fox, et al. Both cases were settled out of court and all parties agreed to keep the terms of the settlement confidential.....but you know what "O'Reilly" happened and what it says about the character of that self-righteous blowhard..
