O’Reilly smears ThinkProgress once again, claims we attacked a rape victim and her family.
O’Reilly smears ThinkProgress once again, claims we attacked a rape victim and her family.
Yesterday on The Factor, Bill O’Reilly addressed ThinkProgress in his “Reality Check” portion of the show, “a segment set up to defeat deceit.” And of course, O’Reilly proceeded to peddle deceit, claiming that “far left zealots…attacked a rape victim and her family because they asked me to speak at their fundraiser.” Wrong. We never attacked the Alexa Foundation; we simply highlighted quotes from O’Reilly that were unsympathetic towards a rape victim. O’Reilly has never explained why he implied that women who dress in a certain way or consume too much alcohol should perhaps expect to be raped and murdered. Watch last night’s segment.
O’Reilly also fumed at UPS’s recent decision to stop advertising on The Factor. “Disappointingly, the UPS corporation helped” ThinkProgress “in their evil deed,” O’Reilly whined. “Check is quite surprised. UPS needs to wise up fast.” Or what Bill? Will they be stalked, ambushed, and harassed by your henchmen as well? Please join our campaign.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:42 amThe story was a nonstory to begin with. The Alexa Foundation never shared their concern.
Now it’s a joke to people who expect real journalism. It’s BillO in a brightly lit room, fighting his shadow.
Sad.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:43 amO’Rielly’s just a troll with a TV show.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:45 amShouldn’t there be some way for someone at TP to get ANY air time on Fox News? I mean, as much as they talk about you guys you would think they’d relish the opportunity to try to corner someone on the air.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:46 amSaw a UPS commercial while watching Keith last night. I’ve got some packages to send to family, and I’ll be shipping via UPS and telling them why!
PEACE
March 31st, 2009 at 10:46 am“Far left” You keep using those words Billo, but I do not think you know what they mean.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:49 amO’rally. Until you can explain your stance that a young male who was repeatedly molested and threatened, possibly enjoyed his captivity, you’ve got nothing!
Again, I say. Let’s dance! Instead of spouting off your opinions, let someone come on your show with a counterpoint.
And, as you’ve been documented saying, “We’ll do it live! We’ll DO IT FCKING LIVE!!!“
March 31st, 2009 at 10:49 amO’Reilly whined. “Check is quite surprised. UPS needs to wise up fast.”
LOL
Or what Bill?

March 31st, 2009 at 10:51 amMaybe Billo is dyslexic. Instead of Far Left he means Left Far as in how behind he is.

**snort**
Will the “Fox police” be visiting UPS to threaten them with falafels?
March 31st, 2009 at 10:53 amIt appears that Billo has a bug up his ass.
Great job all, here’s hoping for a spike in Billo’s blood pressure.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:53 amPlease give us a break from this. Maybe provide monthly updates on your spat with Fox rather than this ridiculous continuing coverage. I love TP, but it should not be the subject of the “news” on its own site. Please stop.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:54 am“quite surprised”???
GET USED TO IT B*TCH.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:54 amThis is a rhetorical question, right, Dr. Matt?
March 31st, 2009 at 10:55 amHas TP sent an inquiry to Fox News and O’Reilly asking for the PROOF or EVIDENCE that TP “attacked” the Alexa Foundation or rape victims?
March 31st, 2009 at 10:56 ambhayden90,
There is a point to all this, and Billo would absolutely LOVE for TP to start ignoring this “spat.”
Not gonna happen.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:56 amthis is all so NOT noteworthy.
let it go.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:57 amYa baby, Billo has been playing damage control all over the place trying to get this relegated to old news, check back in a month. If you don’t want to read or participate, pick another thread, any thread.
In the mean time, Billo gets bugged.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:59 amExcellent, Dr Moth Matt. :-)
You called it.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:02 amTrolls: We can’t keep defending him, we got nothing please let it go PLEASE!!1111
March 31st, 2009 at 11:02 amI suspect the reason Bill wants to keep this going is because he imagines it feeds his audience with righteous indignation (and therefore boosts his ratings). He hasn’t yet figured out that his audience is a stagnant pool of kool-aid drinkers. Nor has he figured out that the fact he has to make up lies for his bluster and that there’s very little else for him to rail at should be a clue that he’s gone past his sell-by date.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:03 amMaybe the TP folks who have been stalked and harassed can go to the courts or the police and deal with this jerk and TP can give us monthly updates on the issue. Or possibly TP can set up an independent site to track this “issue” on a daily basis and rally followers to support the efforts. BUT, using the TP site to track this on a semi-daily basis makes a very effective and very well respected site resemble a cyber tabloid.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:08 am“listen UPS, you better wise up and sponser my show!”
March 31st, 2009 at 11:09 amyeah…that should work
Let’s accept what O’Reilley said as true and then compare:
At most, TP criticized the Alexa Foundation (and featuring Bill-O was a rather questionable move on the foundation’s part)
Bill-O said Shawn Hornbeck liked it. And that another rape victim asked for it.
How do the scales balance ?
March 31st, 2009 at 11:10 am…

March 31st, 2009 at 11:13 amThis is exactly why I have disapproved of these “bullet-point” segments:
1. Bill stretches the truth by stating they “attacked” the organization he spoke at, but he does not say how.
2. Bill provides information on other organizations that have contributed to the It Happened To Alexa organization, but states that Zucker and Podesta have not. My question: have Podesta and Zucker’s groups contributed to other organizations sponsoring rape victims? If so, then this should be baseless, correct? You can support a cause without giving to EVERY outlet.
3. Is Fox still smearing people by using altered photos of people? It almost looks like it in their photos of Zucker and Podesta.
4. Bill provides no information on HOW UPS supported the cause.
You know, I was always told that arguments needed to be made with evidence, not bullet points. Teachers mark down for providing outlines and not actual reports, right?
March 31st, 2009 at 11:17 amsilly billy got his panties in a bunch it seems
keep up the good work, TP
if it annoys the trolls, it HAS to be good for America
March 31st, 2009 at 11:17 amAnyone posting on this thread to whine about the thread needs to find something else to complain about and not up the traffic on the thread. Maybe if you didn’t add you comments to the fray and tried to “boycott” these stories it would be more effective. At least it would be a more effective way to not be called a “whiner” or a “baby…”
March 31st, 2009 at 11:21 amBill O’Reilly refers to the ideological differences between progressives and the far-right conservatives as “culture war”. HE is going to fight on that basis. WE have to decide whether we are going to fight back or just let him and the other wingnut pundits beat on us regularly. I say fight. So, these threads exposing and debunking and mocking O’Reilly are one of the ways we can use the ammunition we have to fight. If you don’t agree, ignore these threads.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:27 amThe whole purpose of this is to protest the actions of a purported news program and it’s host. The reason it has been effective is because of the consistent pressure from concerned citizens and posters who are tired of the MSM tactic of burying issues that are uncomfortable.
There is no reason for TP to provide a separate area because this topic is current and continuing. No one makes any visitor to TP click on any given topic. It is personal choice. Sort of like a channel changer and the little button labeled either Power or on/off.
There are two ways to ‘make this go away’. One is apathy. The other can be likened to the Tuna/dolphin business. If this company wants the public to ‘buy its tuna’, they best consider the dolphins.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:29 amO’Reilly had better be careful who he orders to wise up. UPS may be begin to question the entire Fox News Channel, and not just The Factor.
I believe that the decisive election of Obama, despite the charges of “socialist” and worse thrown at him indicate that people are growing tired of partisan rancor, and this may well bite a lot of conservative news outlets hard in the behind as time goes on.
These little bullies and ranters and truth-stretchers may be able to claim that FNC is the highest rated cable channel, but so what? The hard core right is increasingly isolating itself, and when you do the demograophics, they are not the future of this country, nor are they desirable consumers outside of the world of Wal*mart.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:30 amThis “story” has 24 separate entries in the last 9 days. Perhaps 9, or one each day, would have been enough. That might be acceptable in an attempt to defend TP against this creep, but 24 entries smells an awful lot like an attempt by TP to drive up page views and publicity at the expense of many real issues of the day. It’s not just this particular thread, it’s taking over the whole site. On three separate days, there were 4 entries each. We don’t need silence on this issue, just stop beating us over the head with it.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:30 amOr more appropriately, if they don’t want to be bugged, don’t call us insects.

March 31st, 2009 at 11:37 amSo bhayden90, are you suggesting we (as victims) remain silent during O’Rally’s “attacks”?
No offense, but I was never taught to “just take it” when sucker-punched.
As long as Loofah boy continues to misinform his viewing audience, TP will continue to post his nonsense.
(If you notice the little box on the right, the one that says “What We’re Fighting For”. Underneath it is another box which says “Media Accountability”. Not speaking for TP, but I’m pretty much sure every single thread dedicated to Falafel head falls under that category)
Have a great day!

Hi, America, we advertise on a program because if we don’t we’ll get called evil. Yup, that will sell laundry detergent.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:47 amSomeone needs to ask O’Reilly, on air, why the Alexis Foundation isn’t supporting him and has remained totally silent if, in fact, they felt attacked by Think Progress.
I was very disappointed that the gals on the View did a fluff interview and totally avoided this subject. I’m sure that being the coward that he is, Billo put it in his contract to show up on the View that they couldn’t touch the subject.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:47 amO’Lielly accuses TP of attacking the rape victim.

Besides someone suggesting you COULD be a concern troll, there were no malicious personal attacks.
In fact, I countered what you were REPEATEDLY posting with a well thought out argument as to why TP should continue it’s monitoring of Bill-O.
No offense, but continuously posting your stance is hypocritical if you believe TP shouldn’t continue posting it’s stance on O’Rally.
That being said, I still wish you a great day.
spearNmagicHelmet Says:

Ok, I get it. Billo sent his zombie trolls here to try to defend his honor and they were defeated. Now he’s sending them here to try to get TP to drop the subject. Hilarious.
Billo’s such a coward. I bet he made the View promise not to touch this subject for him to show up and be interviewed. I’m very disappointed in the View for allowing him to do that and passing up on a golden opportunity.
March 31st, 2009 at 11:54 ambhayden90, my local tv station has 4 weather reports during its 30 minute evening news broadcast. It irritates the hell out of me. So, guess what? I DON’T WATCH IT!!

March 31st, 2009 at 12:04 pmI have a question. Has there been any other thread about Billo where zero of his zombie trolls have shown up to defend his honor? I think it’s no coincidence that they aren’t showing up on this one and all of a sudden we have two “concern” trolls asking TP to drop the subject.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:05 pmO”Reilly’s fact challenged logic leads one to the conclusion that UPS attacked a rape victim and her family. He needs to get over himself or get off the Public airwaves.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:05 pmBy O’Reilly logic attacking a speaker is attacking the victim.
Quite a stretch, two, three, four, there Bill-O.
What people pointed out was Bill-O blaming a rape victim for her rape. The old she wore sexy clothes rational used by rapists themselves called DARVO [Deny, attack, reverse victim offender]
O’Reilly could simply say he was wrong for blaming the victim and apologize, unfortunately, it seems, his ego wont allow that and others must be blamed for his insensitive and inflammatory remarks.

March 31st, 2009 at 12:08 pmHard to believe anyone would object to activism on the part of Americans. Most progressives have been frustrated by the lack of journalistic integrity on the party of Fox News, and the failure of the media organizations to step in.
In the golden age of newspapers, they policed themselves when it came to journalistic integrity, and for the most part, they did a very good job. Times have changed and now it seems that tabloid journalism has become acceptable.
Now, thanks to the utter failure of journalistic integrity as displayed by Fox News, the people have awakened. We the people that actually want to read this thread, aren’t going to go away. We are like insects, as Bill O’Reilly accurately named us, and we are going to keep biting him until he “wises up”.
The wingnuts have awakened the sleeping giant, who’s vengeance will be terrible.

I don’t know about the shoe being on the other foot. No one here believes for a second that O’Reilly has somehow turned this around and magically fixed it. Far from it. This is just the opening salvo in a war against Fox News.
We really should thank O’Reilly for it was his style of right wing propaganda that awakened the American people. O’Reilly is the cement that gives the online progressive movement its strength. O’Reilly is more responsible, than any other individual person for motivating Americans to get involved online to defeat Republicans.
The fledgling internet democracy has been born and, for better or worse, it’s not going to go away because O’Reilly tries to blame his accusers for his indiscretion.

The can of worms metaphor generally implies that it’s difficult to untangle, as opposed to being difficult to put the lid back on.
The “shoe on the other foot” metaphor would apply if O’Reilly had any evidence that TP did something inappropriate. I have not seen any such evidence.
I think a better metaphor here would be O’Reilly opening Pandora’s box.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:40 pmHas anyone else noticed that none of the other pundits are rallying to Billo’s defense here? Just a handful of raggedy trolls. No solidarity from Sean or Rush or Ann?
Could it maybe be involved with Billo losing two sponsors (i.e. source of paycheck)?
Loyalty is obviously not a Republican trait. Sigh, just the poor insects.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:41 pmI have two questions:
As Bilbo Hussein Baggins alluded, has Alexa, anyone from her family, or anyone from the Alexa foundation commented as to whether they think they were attacked by TP? One would think their opinions, and even more their feelings, would be paramount on this matter. I checked their web site and it does not appear to have been updated since before O’Reilly spoke.
Also, how much has Mr. O’Reilly contributed to the Alexa Foundation? Again, their web site is not up to date, but there is no O’Reilly listed among their supporters:
March 31st, 2009 at 12:41 pmhttp://www.ithappenedtoalexa.org/about4.html
I think it would be some excellent journalism for TP to interview Alexa and others from the Alexa foundation, and as them their opinion on this subject, as well as what they think of Fox News.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:43 pmWhy has the Alexa Foundation been so quiet on this issue?
Inquiring minds want to know.

March 31st, 2009 at 12:54 pmGive a man a fish if the shoe fits, teach him to fish by his own bootstraps. Brilliant!
March 31st, 2009 at 12:57 pmIt seems like any one of the news media should have interviewed somebody from the Alexa Foundation. Even a no comment would be something.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:00 pmThis is what’s pissing me off these days, and probably will all week, with all of these shows he’s going on these people will not hold his feet to the fire for the things he’s saying and doing. They make him look too much like a nice guy to people who may not have cable and only network TV.
And most of his interviewers are women (The View, Robin Roberts this morning on GMA). They wont bring up the fact that he sent that chump Jesse to stalk a woman across state lines?
And I wonder if Ann Coulter will ever call him a Liberal, since he’s always playing the victim…of his OWN words….

March 31st, 2009 at 1:43 pmO’Reilly smears ThinkProgress once again, claims we attacked a rape victim and her family.
Billo really needs to quit playing with that mouse in his pocket.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:45 pmI see the phony baloney Remarks taken out of context Hurtful Frightful interview SCAM is still going strong.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:13 pmCompletely Fabricated. O’Reilly NEVER said anything like that.
He did not isolate sexy clothes and how women should EXPECT to be reaped.
It never happened.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:15 pmThis whole thing is a FRAUD.
He was taken out of context and Terkel ADMITTED IT on the tape.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:16 pmhe obsessively goes on and on with not a shred of evidence… why?
is it time to shut him up with a law suit?
March 31st, 2009 at 2:18 pmwhee is supposed to be where and I would have to screw up in all caps/bold.

Oh but Tinkles,
Your Bill-doh did suggest to future perpetrators to no be stupid and use their victims phones, NO?

March 31st, 2009 at 2:24 pmIsn’t billo supposed to be on tonight with Letterman?
Maybe Letterman could ask billo about evidence, proof and where he is getting his info.
Not holding my breath… still disappointed with The View.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:25 pm“Not holding my breath… still disappointed with The View.”
Something about that just makes me want to scream “What the f**k do you expect?! It’s The f**king View!”
March 31st, 2009 at 2:35 pmAnyone with the least bit of common sense should be able tell that oreilly is full of crap.Fox news and their so called journalists are nothing more than a propaganda machine for the right.

Please allow me to qualify my post by saying, that is unless you were talking about the room you had on your last vacation.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:42 pmI realize that there could be legal action and no one wants to tip their hand but, can we drop “smear” and start calling Bill0’s slander, “slander”?
A smear implies that the one doing the smearing is misleading the public about the intent behind someone’s actions or focusing on a bad outcome regardless of intent. It’s mean but not illegal.
Slander is when one makes a malicious false claim that someone did something they did not do. That’s what Bill0 has done, and continues to do, and it is illegal.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:45 pmSilence, you can go to hell for lying too.
Stupid might get you a hearing.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:53 pmLove to watch this.
O’Reilly is kicking the snot out of you people. His ratings dominate all of your liberal talking heads combined and the tiny little so called victory with UPS has completely unphased him.
In fact, it has left UPS looking like the idiots by supporting such and extremist left wing organization that only cares about tearing down people with opposing points of view.
Good luck in your smear campaign TP. Who is next? Hannity? Beck? Savage? or will you simply pick a fight with a rape victim who happens to be a conservative? How about a working american like Joe the Plumber who happens to NOT be in a union? I know that you hate those non-union working people.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:57 pmHas anyone seen or heard any comment from the It Happened to Alexa Foundation on this Billofactured brouhaha? Did I miss it? I can understand the Foundation not wanting to be drawn into O’Reilly’s silly conspiracy accusations and his childish tiff with MSNBC (and “he who must not be named”), but the stalking and intimidation of Ms. Terkel (sp?) ordered by O’Reilly is a whole other matter, one that I would have thought would elicit comment from the Foundation. Perhaps their silence it due to a “gag” clause in their contract with O’Reilly for his appearance at their fundraiser — no discussion of O’Reilly and anything relating to or arising from the event? Or perhaps they figure that commenting on one aspect of the brouhaha will draw them into the rest of it? But the Foundation has clearly been used by O’Reilly in his mindless vendetta against all things MSNBC, so shouldn’t they say something? Or should they maintain a low profile and not risk this thing interfering with their mission?
March 31st, 2009 at 3:18 pmYou know what? It occurs to me that FAUX viewers like being lied to. They need to be lied to in order to maintain their delusional nationalism, elitism, and bigotry. FAUX is always there to tell them they’re better than everyone else when the facts disagree.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:20 pmHello Tim43:
Would you like to play a game of dominos?
I was wondering what you expect to happen on Letterman tonight? Will Dave embarrass Billo or will they just be bowling buddies sitting around talking about anything but TP, NBC, Media Matters, Obermann or Amanda.
Inquiring minds want the cart before the horse.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:24 pmTimmie, Timmie,
Your comment about “only cares about tearing down people with opposing points of view?” That’s a description of your hero O’Reilly, little fellow. And that part about Joe the Plumber being a working american (sic)? He ain’t employed, at least not as a plumber. And, real working American plumbers hate his ass. See what just happened in Pittsburgh.
You and your thugs and henchmen need to do a little fact checking before you start spouting off. You might consider following the example of the president and find out what you’re talking about before you open your mouth.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:49 pmTim is all decked-out in Factor gear.
Why won’t the ladies notice him?
March 31st, 2009 at 4:12 pmThe question in my mind is, Why are the foundation aiding and abetting O’Reilly and his smears?
Here is a copy of a letter sent to the foundation last Thursday, and again yesterday, by the ad hoc group Concerned Citizens Against Sexual Violence, who organized the petition asking the Alexa Foundation to replace O’Reilly as their guest speaker. As yet, the group have received no reply.
March 31st, 2009 at 4:32 pmTIMMAH!
March 31st, 2009 at 4:36 pmthe man wouldn’t know “reality” if it sat on his face…
March 31st, 2009 at 4:45 pmYes, trolls, your hero is a “journalist” who hawks coffee mugs and beach towels at the end of his “news” program.

March 31st, 2009 at 4:32 pm
First of all, thank you for posting the link to your letter. Have you considered sending a copy to Amanda or any of the others that Bill0 has slandered over this issue?
Second. I too am perplexed by the Foundation’s silence.It’s entirely possible, and my fervent hope, that the principals are unaware of the implications of this story and/or think that any involvement would damage them. They may have simply decided to keep out of it and that’s their right.
However, as time goes on, something doesn’t smell right. I think that public statements will be necessary to figure out whether Bill0 overreacted to a handful of people who may have been overzealous, concocted the whole thing to provide something to rave about, or (and I really don’t want to go there!) someone from the Foundation decided to team up with Bill0 in his culture war.
There’s one other horrendous possibility that comes to mind but, in light of the Foundation’s silence, it won’t go away. It’s possible that some principal of the Foundation has seen extra money coming in and is willing to let Bill0 make all the slanderous remarks he wants as long as the cash is flowing. And I don’t think those suspicions will go away by themselves.
March 31st, 2009 at 5:19 pmMr. O’Reilly continues to lie about the non-existent “attack” on Alexa and the foundation.
I think a civil suit is in order. Any number of people (Amanda, Zucker, et. al.) have been slandered repeatedly. It doesn’t matter if it is winnable; O’Reilly should be shown to be the compulsive liar he is.
Ever notice that in addition to being breathtakingly stupid, Bill O’Reilly’s trolls are almost all exceedingly vulgar?

The whole ThinkProgress blog thrives on misdirection and taking things out of context. If you asked a Thinkprogress blogger for directions from Los Angeles to San Diego, you might end up in Phoenix. This is a propaganda blog.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:31 pmBILL O’REILLY: “So anyway I’d be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda’ kissing your neck from behind…and then I would take the other hand with the falafel thing and I’d just put it on your p***y but you’d have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business…”
–as quoted in a sexual harassment suit filed against him by a Fox News producer, 2004 (Source)
IN CONTEXT
It’s ok, trolls. We understand that your morality is subjective, and that you’ll excuse anything and everything someone does — as long as they purport to be “against the left.”
We understand that you are lost souls, who need to be told what to do and what to think every moment of every single day. And if someone wasn’t there to tell you what to do, you’d be like lost baby ducks wandering in traffic.
But don’t worry, there will always be a Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly out there to tell you what and how to think. They’ll take care of you.
They wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire, but you wouldn’t have it any other way, would you?
Baaaaaaaaaaaa…
March 31st, 2009 at 6:53 pmugh
March 31st, 2009 at 6:56 pmI guess all women should consult the official O’Reilly hand book to make sure they are conforming to his dress code and his curfew hours. I mean they wouldn’t want to get raped or murdered. You can get the handbook free with the purchase of Bill’s special line of luffa’s.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:45 pmLOL, look at all your comments saying you’re going to start doing business with UPS, or “go UPS” or “good job UPS.” What a disfunctional website this is.
For those who did not care to do some more research, here you go:
Susan Rosenberg, spokeswoman for UPS, previously issued this statement to ThinkProgress (3/30/09):
We are writing to clarify our statement of last Friday because it appears to have been misinterpreted. UPS has not “pulled” any advertising from Fox News nor has the company taken a position on the “Think Progress” campaign. Our intent on Friday simply was to note that UPS does not have any pending advertising plans with the O’Reilly show.”
March 31st, 2009 at 9:25 pmhstps,
Would you mind providing a link for that? Being dysfunctional and all, I’m having a little trouble finding that statement anywhere.
March 31st, 2009 at 9:58 pmI didn’t make any comments about UPS and my shipping needs. Just who do you think you are talking to? I know O’Reilly to be a f ucking clown and I don’t even have cable
March 31st, 2009 at 10:01 pmboudin,
Well being dysfunctional, I thought you might:

March 31st, 2009 at 10:08 pmdbadass,
So you don’t watch O’Reilly regularly, but you hate him? Based on what? A few clips on Youtube and what you hear from the internet?
Hate based on no justification is called…prejudice…so, you are prejudice? I guess so.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:09 pmOT
Good evening, dbadass. A big flock of starlings blew through today while a blizrd is blowing just a bit North of here.

March 31st, 2009 at 11:47 pmO’Reilly loves this. He got you punks puking all over yourselfs. All because his staff “ambushed” poor little Amanda after she checked into a cheap motel with her boyfriend. What got her really upset was the fact that her “butch” found out she was cheating on her, and to make it worse, with a male!!

April 1st, 2009 at 4:18 amLiberal = SHEEP. Keep drinking the Kool-Aide sheeple. What I don’t get is why the left is all about trying to attack the integrity of their opponents. If what he speaks isn’t true, then over time his own credibility will be tarnished, without your help. Denial IS the first sign of guilt and ALL I have seen on this site full of hatred is DENIAL.
So O’reilly called you out on not donating to a cause? Do you have a guilty conciensce? If there was nothing wrong about that then why the big deal? You liberals need to grow up!!!
