asshole.

38. No, more like for being a child molester enabler & victim blamer
(Revictimizer)

He said the boy who was found recently after being missing for years "enjoyed" being there away from his parents, not having to go to school and all.

Nevermind that the kid was repeatedly raped.

47. It means K.O. kicked Billo's ass............. AGAIN...........
Olbermann has been pounding Billo for weeks over his statements that the kid who was kidnapped probably ....liked living with his capture.

He's also been pounding that organization for hiring Billo to speak.

Kudos to KO. Billo and his scumbags at the Fake Noise Channel will be rabid.

52. Right you are Jack. Can't you hear the FAUX prestitutes talking about how this is more evidence of
that dreaded liberal bias in the press? Just another example of how the kind and thoughtful people with conservative opinions are consistently left out of the national discussion?










Oh yeah in case you missed it :sarcasm:

28. News Hounds: We watch FOX so you don't have to ...
http://www.newshounds.us They give summaries and clips of FOX news shows' outrageous moments.

When BOR was discussing Michael Devlin kidnappings, he was saying that he doesn't believe the "Stockholm Syndrome" and that Hornbeck had more "fun" as a captive of Michael Devlin because he did not have to go to school and that he "liked" being held by Devlin.

Back in November, the Florida chapter of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children announced a fundraiser dinner and BOR was the guest speaker. People were complaining to the center, saying how can you have someone who was making statements like that be the guest speaker.

41. Newshound is a news website. O'Reilly was to speak at an
event concerning missing and exploited children. His cavalier attitude toward the two boys being held captive is probably why he was dropped.

16. IIRC, Bill was supposed to speak at some dinner/event dealing with exploited/missing children
Edited on Fri Feb-09-07 02:20 PM by Mike Daniels
Except he made some typical dumb-ass comments about the child that was just found after being held in captivity for so many years.

I'm paraphrasing but Bill said something along the lines that since the kid didn't try to escape from his captor that he probably wasn't considering it to be that much of an ordeal. Didn't have to go to school, got to goof off all day, etc...blah, blah, blah.

Like I said, typical dumb-ass Bill O'Reilly.

and there will be no loofah exercise segment included in the final scores and judging. The missing and exploited children will compete strictly on the swimsuit and talent contests.

I was so excited by the newshound post I could barely type.

I bet O.Reilly will attack the National Center now for being against missing and exploited children.

I bet he takes the rest of the month attacking them.

43. Beyond just supporting a sexual predator, he is one.
His sexual harrassment of Andrea Mackris shows that he's a deeply disturbed individual who preys on his subordinates. If Fox Noise Channel had the tiniest bit of integrity, BillO would have been out on his ass the day after that happened.

from link on Newshounds):

Statement

Collier County, Florida Branch

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

February 9, 2007


In response to the numerous e-mails and inquiries we have received, we are providing the following update regarding the Collier County, Florida branch fundraising dinner scheduled for March 9, 2007 in Naples, Florida. Bill O’Reilly, host of The O’Reilly Factor, will not be a speaker at the dinner. The dinner will be held as scheduled. John Walsh, host of America’s Most Wanted, will be the keynote speaker.

We would like to thank everyone for their comments and e-mails.

37. Collier County, that's what
My parents live there, in a white, gated golf community. There are miles and miles of communities like this. These folks live in constant fear; there are terrorists hiding behind every palm tree and everybody else is trying to steal from them, or tax them to death. They could wake up any morning and find that their paradise is all gone. Fox News is king, and O'Reilly is very popular. Fox tells them what they want to hear. This must have been a very hard decision for them, though a "no-brainer" for people like you and me. And, for what it's worth, Collier County went overwhelmingly for * in 2000, and there were no recounts there.

19. Thank goodness and its about time! O'Reilly should have done
the right thing and stepped down, but we knew that would never happen. He has about as much compassion as our pResident has and doesn't belong at a forum on missing and exploited children when he thinks kids being molested are having fun.

Keith Olbermann has been so all over this for the last few weeks.

If I didn't know better, I'd say this outcome is due almost completely to Keith's efforts.

35. I could not agree more. KO is totally responsible for this
turn of events. He kept on asking the question - Why is Billo still on the program?

It is amazing that one guy (KO) can make that much difference.

34. B.O.'s previous speech:
Robo used his "product" only occasionally, but tonight was special. He had two fifteen-year-old girls who would do anything for the drug, and he was determined to exploit the situation.

"Say, baby, put that pipe down and get my pipe up," Robo said to one of the girls. She was so intoxicated she had trouble standing, but Robo was her sugar daddy, and as he sat in a filthy, imitation, leather couch, there in the living room of a run-down three-bedroom apartment, she obediently performed oral sex on him.

Five feet away, the other teenage girl sat on a mattress on the floor and watched, greedily sucking on the crack pipe Robo had passed to her. Edgar looked over and grinned, showing yellow, decaying teeth. Obviously, he preferred oral sex to oral hygiene.

"You?re next, girl, and I want you to do her too," he ordered. As Robo took the crack pipe back the girl groggily nodded her consent. Inhaling deeply, Robo blew the cocaine smoke out through his nose and mouth. The bitter taste left him feeling powerful, energized, and free of worry. He was bad and he was flush.

48. Billo will probably....
start his show talking about this and then go into an attack on NBC, and citing ratings as vindication for him. But he should know, KO's ratings are shooting up. Apparently yesterday, KO, had 885,000 viewers, boosting him to second place and who knows, maybe one day this surge can start to really take on O'REilly.

59. "THE MARK OF A SWINE!!!!!" I completely lost it when KO used this
sentence to describe Orally's actions! This actually was for Worse Person in the World, for his treatment of Ken Allard, recovering from a stroke, and occurred after his description of the speaker dust-up. Either way, it fits perfectly!
