Ok, set the abortion part aside-I think we've debated that quite enough. Both sides know where they stand. The rest of it makes a very good point IMO.

Kids Are Americans, Too
Thursday , March 23, 2006
By Bill O'Reilly
I have one simple question, because as you know, I am a simple guy. If a man confessed to raping two American women adults, do you believe that man would be sentenced to probation anywhere in this country? The answer, of course, is no. That wouldn't happen, because if it did, every women's group and every media outlet would demand the removal of the judge.
Yet in Ohio, a man who confessed to orally raping a 5-year-old boy and an 11-year-old boy over and over was sentenced to probation by Judge John Connor.
Was there about outcry by the women's groups? No. What about the press? Well, most of the Ohio press defends the judge. And The Dayton Daily News even attacked me for my coverage. The politicians? Well, most of them don't want any action against Connor.
In Vermont, we saw the same thing with Judge Edward Cashman, who initially sentenced a man who raped a 6-year-old girl to 60 days in jail. Media outrage in Vermont? None. Political outrage? None.
In fact, after the story broke, the Vermont legislature voted down Jessica's Law. Democrats leading the way.
Today in Texas, The Houston Chronicle is calling for "enlightened justice" for Andrea Yates, who brutally murdered her five little children. The Chronicle feels sorry for Yates, wants her in a mental institution instead of prison.
If you are sensing a pattern here, you are correct. Children in America have been devalued, no question. You can rape them and escape prison. You can kill them and receive compassion.
How did this happen? I really don't know. Some say Roe v. Wade began a slippery slope, placing unborn babies in a disposable situation.
Certainly, there's no national outrage over Kansas's Dr. George Tiller, who for $5,000 will destroy an unborn child up to the moment of birth for just about any so-called "health reason." Tiller has become a wealthy man, performing partial birth abortions. Media outrage? None.
"Talking Points" does not know whether there are more child predators in the USA today than there were 50 years ago, but I do know one thing: American kids these days are targets. They have few defenders in the press, no political clout and a society that is not engaged in protecting them.
"Factor" viewers and listeners are the only national group that I know of looking out for the kids. You guys put the pressure on in Vermont that got the child rapist three years instead of two months. You guys are putting the pressure on in Ohio, where hopefully Judge Connor will be removed and The Dayton Daily News will lose even more circulation and advertising.
But outside of you, there are few demanding justice for children. And that is America's great shame.
And that's "The Memo."

Excerpted from "Those Who Trespass"
By Bill O'Reilly Stripping off her bathing-suit, she walked into the huge shower. She pulled the lime green curtain across the entrance and then set the water for a tepid 75-degrees. The spray felt great against her skin as she ducked her head underneath the nozzle. Closing her eyes she concentrated on the tingling sensation of water flowing against her body. Suddenly another sensation entered, Ashley felt two large hands wrap themselves around her breasts and hot breathe on the back of her neck. She opened her eyes wide and giggled, "I thought you drowned out there snorkel man." Tommy O'Malley was naked and at attention. "Drowning is not an option", he said, "unless of course you beg me to perform unnatural acts – right here in this shower." _____________________

Sexual Harassment 101

"Drowning is not an option", he said, "unless of course you beg me to perform unnatural acts – right here in this shower." Who could forget this gem? Well, if I took you down there then i'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do... yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you... maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you.... You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda' soap up your back... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water... and um... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I woulda kinda' put my arm .. its one of those mitts, those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it... and I would put it around front, kinda' rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs.... 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 put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business _____________________

Ted Nugent's quote on child molestors and rapists:
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em." _____________________

O Reilly had no part in the issue with Cashman, spoken as a resident of Vermont here..
Hell he can't even get real facts for his boycotts! |

As much as O'Reilly irritates me, sometimes he comes out with some pretty good stuff.

More Attempts at Distraction
03-23-2006 22:32
O'Reilly and Kiamat are so busy lately! They go on tirades about some horrific event or other, but their focus isn't on the event, it's on those pesky Liberals! They scream, look at those Liberals not getting worked up over this travesty. Of course O'Reilly and Kiamat aren't getting worked up over the travesties either, only over what the Liberals are or aren't doing.
Why so much of this now? Could it have anything to do with mess their political wing is in? They troll the news for some horror and then attack the liberals for not responding accordingly. They could care less about whatever travesty they're going on about, what they want to do is make their political opponents look bad. They're using other people's misfortunes for base partisan sniping. Notice that O'Reilly hadn't said anything about these events until now? Notice that he's not mentioned any conservatives who haven't shown proper outrage? Notice the level of bullshit rising? |

I think clearly that any crimes that happen while conservatives are in power in Washington are the fault of conservatives. It only makes sense.  _____________________
