Yeah. Ok. We got it. This "crazy" story isn't as big as Whitewater. Or Travelgate. Or Bill Clinton's blow job.


Go Kieth, go.

4. Keith?
Yes, but what a spectacular article by Maureen Farrell.

Great find, thanks.

6. But
there is a difference between consensual relations and sexual harassment.

I'm not interested in arguing whether or not Clinton's escapades were consensual or harassment, or whether or not O'Reilly's actions were harassment or consensual- but the distinction between the two is truly a moral one. I hate that the repubs went after Clinton for what I understand to be a consensual act, and I hate that O'Reilly has apparently committed harassment.

7. You are comparing O'Lielly to Clinton?
:wow:

O'Lielly is a propoganda pusher. Clinton was president of the US--from uncontested elections. While you may think, in your small world, that O'Lielly and Clinton share the same level of influence, I am here to let you know you are wrong--and so is your "theory" about who "we" must hate.

:hi:

9. Your take on Olbermann is 100% wrong.
He saw what a hypocrite O'Rielly was. Gee,not that many DUer's drag Clinton through the dirt,like you just did.

13. In your world I suspect these generalities are true.
I don't see that Olberman attacking O'Lielly has to do with anything other than the fact that O'Lielly screwed up. Olberman wasn't the only one to jump on the story and doing so does not make him immoral--or whatever the point is you are trying ot make.

I'm not sure which "our side" you are on.

10. And what have YOU done to help Democracy in the last month?
Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 07:21 PM by Nordic
and WTF does your post have to do with the vote fraud story?

Nada.

Listen, O'Lielly is a smug, self-righteous, judgmental asshole.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Something you might want to listen to.

12. wow. I didn't know about this
And according to a study released by researchers at the highly respected UC Berkeley, electronic voting machines may have added between 130,000 to 260,000 (or more) votes to President Bush's tally in Florida -- making Rep. Peter King's Diary of a Political Tourist comments to Alexandra Pelosi less humorous and more Stalinesque with each questionable tally. (When asked how he knew Bush would win the election, King responded, "It's all over but the counting and we'll take care of the counting.")
(snip)

Reminds me of Bush on the Letterman show right before the 2000 election talking about how he had Florida wrapped up, that his brother was taking care of it.

ha ha ha. The joke's on us.
