Why did Bill go willingly into the enemy camp? I honestly think its because he wants most to be what he cannot be —cool and funny like the satirist who has made a prosperous career out of mocking him. Message to Stephen- the copy (which he gleefully stated he has not read) of “The Culture Warrior” with the 30% off sticker over Bill-O’s face was a brilliant touch.

O’R brings to mind that thing my mom used to say about a kid that picked on me in kindergarden: If we ignore him, he’ll go away.

I got the distinct impression that as much as he trashes the liberal elite media outlets, it really gets under his skin that they don’t accept them. He wants to be a part of mainstream America, and not just appeal to a limited audience of wingers. The man’s ego is the size of Texas.

It’s funny cuz it’s truthy.

The odd phone cal so hurriedly covered up is another strange thing, while doing something odd with a vibrator he calls up a woman and somehow gets around to manipulating “falafels.”

O’elly may simply be projecting how he *thinks* he would respond if he was molested as a reenager by a guy with video games. He obviously had issiues with his father.

So, just stop the whole business of feigning this supposedly novel outrage when something happens that seems to have a populist appeal in its scorn. It was the same thing with Rush Limbaugh and the Viagra. I don’t give a darn about Rush having Viagra, even if it wasn’t his. That’s not what the folks that were hollerin’ about it had actually had issue with him for. That’s not what I’d have issue with him over.

Honestly, it’s like looking at a crook, and yelling at him because you found nudie pictures in his car. Yes, people might find him disgusting for the nudie pictures, but if your issue with him is the whole bit about being a crook, perhaps you should prosecute that instead of something sensationalists can get behind.

When you feign or try to muster up moral outrage over something like this, it undermines the convictions you actually hold with regard to more importan things. You’re not going to get O’Reilly sacked, so just find something that actually matters, and post about that. At least this way, you won’t be making a difference in something that’s might merit making a difference in, whereas currently, you’re not making a difference in something that’s utterly pointless.

It’s nonsense. Thanks for giving O’Reilly some ratings boost as he can now claim he’s being attacked by ingenuine moonbat types and get on with his life. Thanks for giving yourselves a sense of presence, importance, or moral indignation, by taking the clear side in a sensationalist attraction. Most of all, thanks for showing that whenever it is you decide to do things that won’t matter or affect anything, you intend to direct those things toward matters as insignificant as your ineffective courses of action.

For shame.

It is one of the following – an uneducated statement by a person that should know better; a blatant attempt to get attention (ratings) via a insidiously disingenuous statement at the expense of the victim; or a unbelievably spiteful statement that indicates the perhaps Mr. O’Reilly has some unresolved issues of his own. Or some combination of all three.

Given the known reactions of adults in hostage/captive situations, to believe that a young child (and he was only 11 when kidnapped) somehow should be expected to react differently is patently absurd.

The worst part is that this only gives voice to other ignorant people, and is emblematic of the issues that will face this now young man as he strives to re-establish a normal life.

Meanwhile, ultimately, basically nothing happens to O’Reilly.

Disgusting.

he never apologized, nor was he sanctioned

and there was a coordinated email effort at that time too.

you want to get at lufa boy? fire off emails with the clip to his radio and tv advertisers….same as spocko did with ksfo

do not threaten a boycott….just do it to inform the advertisers as to what their products are now associated with…an individual who believes that a child would prefer being raped over years than to be in a loving home

and as to those in this thread who feel that lufa boy is simply a commentator/celebrity….bull hockeys

he is an evil perv who likes to sexually harrass women, “cuz they like it”

This guy is the face of the Republican Party

O’Reilly has not been nominated or elected into ANY Republican Party office. The attempt to hold the entire Republican Party responsible for everything O’Reilly chooses to do is irresponsible at best and is almost certainly an indicator of extreme partisanship and lack of credibility.

Why do it? It undermines the integrity of the thing you actually despise them for. This is an incident with a child and a kidnapping victim and to play it up in an effort to make it seem possible that you can get O’Reilly off his program is ridiculous. All you’re doing is giving him some added publicity while bolstering a sense of self-importance.

If you want to fight O’Reilly, there’s plenty of things you can fight him on. He’s a celebrity, whose existence spurs on idolatry, desired or otherwise. There’s a great resevoir of things you could find issue with him on. However, to pull this, which won’t amount to anything, is to detract things that might actually be worth giving a darn about if you were thusly inclined.

But, I guess there’s more important things, like Fox News Commentators or Rosie fighting with Donald Trump. At least if you’re going to pretend to have an influence in something, pretend to have an influence in something that matters in the least.
