by Len Hart, The Existentialist CowboyIf I’m on the Supreme Court, as I should be, I say what is the down side of having somebody prove who they are [when they come to vote]?If Billo were on the Supreme Court, he might harass Ruth Badar Ginsburg as he, in fact, harassed a Fox producer:--Bill O'Reilly, Quoted on Think Progress, emphasis mine, EC
"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)
Here's a link to the lawsuit. The Fox liar network apparently "settled out of court" --Fox-speak for they paid her to shut up!
OCTOBER 13--Hours after Bill O'Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies. Below you'll find a copy of Andrea Mackris's complaint, an incredible page-turner that quotes O'Reilly, 55, on all sorts of lewd matters. Based on the extensive quotations cited in the complaint, it appears a safe bet that Mackris, 33, recorded some of O'Reilly's more steamy soliloquies. For example, we direct you to his Caribbean shower fantasies. While we suggest reading the entire document, TSG will point you to interesting sections on a Thailand sex show, Al Franken, and the climax of one August 2004 phone conversation. (22 pages)
"And guys, if you exploit a girl, it will come back to get you. That's called 'karma.'" --in his book, "The O'Reilly Factor For Kids," 2004 (Source)If Billo ever got SCOTUS, you could count on him to write one or two word decisions: ridiculous, SHUT UP!!! For case law, Billo could not be expected to cite anything more challenging than Perry Mason or Judge Judy. Justice Billo will dispatch free speech: AN ATTACK ON ME BY THE LOONY LEFT! But it doesn't get any loonier than Billo Blowhard, the loudmouth that proved mankind evolved from simpler forms of life. Eat your heart out, Kansas school boards! Billo proves Darwin. Billo is the aggressive ape from which Bush evolved. There's your proof!
If Billo somehow gets on the high court, he will address what he must surely believes are flaws in our judicial system that confines justices to the law --statutes, case law and precedent! A Justice Billo will open things up a little. He will cite anything --probably comic books or worse: his own FAUX Network! A better source are instances of his own stupidity, many of them documented by Media Matters, Billo's favorite website.
During the December 13 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly questioned the decision by Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards to have actor/director Tim Robbins travel with him on the campaign trail, saying," Tim Robbins is such a radical guy. Why would John Edwards use him? I don't get it." He then played an excerpt from Robbins' December 12 speech in Iowa City, Iowa, in which Robbins said, "What if, instead of 24/7 coverage of the most recent pop star's fall from grace, we were to see 24/7 reporting of veterans returning from Iraq?" In response, Fox News contributor Jane Hall said Robbins' "criticism of the media ... is valid," to which O'Reilly replied: "But Von Ribbentrop in the Nazi hierarchy made valid points, Jane."Justice Billo will cite the Bible and specifically the book of "Revelations" which he thinks was written: "WHAT --FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO??" Until Justice Billo assumes the high court, we'll just have to content ourselves with Justice Scalia's absurdities which pale compared to Justice Billo. Years ago, I denounced Antonin Scalia's backward thinking, his proclivity to mistake premises for conclusions, his fondness for the circulus en probando fallacy.Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop was indicted for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity by the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal. Ribbentrop was found guilty on all counts and executed. The tribunal found that Ribbentrop had "participated in aggressive plans against Czechoslovakia"; "played a particularly significant role in the diplomatic activity which led up to the attack on Poland"; was aware of or helped plan attacks against other countries, "urged the Italians to put into effect a ruthless occupation policy in Yugoslavia and Greece," and "played an important part in Hitler's 'final solution' of the Jewish question." The tribunal concluded that Ribbentrop "was in sympathy with all the main tenets of the National Socialist creed." O'Reilly did not cite any "valid points" made by Ribbentrop.
Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote "to count first and rule upon legality afterwards is not a recipe for producing election results that have the public acceptance democratic stability requires."It matters not to Scalia that since 5th Century B.C.E.. the citizens of Athens dared to count all the votes BEFORE putting leaders in office. Unless my profs lied to me, that's the way elections are supposed to work. In a Brave New World, however, computers have made vote theft at lot easier, more efficient, more...uh...well more "white collar".--CNN Transcripts, December 11, 2000, Supreme Court Bush v. Gore
The White Riot that Stopped the Recount, an act of "Seditious Treason" [See: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE, US Codes]
"If Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.'" –FOX News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, after San Francisco voted to ban military recruiters from city schools, Nov. 8, 2005 (Source) (Read more stupid Bill O'Reilly quotes)As a justice of the Supreme Court, Billo should be required to apologize prior to his confirmation for how he lied to the nation about Bushco:
"If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again, all right?" -on finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, March 18, 2003 (SourceNow --if I were a judge, I would give O'Reilly a "Judge Judy" sentence. He would be ordered by the court to apologize to the Iraqi people. He would be required to go to Iraq and apologize personally, individually, to the people of that nation who have suffered over one million unnecessary deaths, murder at the hand of Billo's hero, the war criminal: George W. Bush!
You’ve got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night and they can vote." –to "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, Sept. 22, 2004 (Source)Justice Billo must have been referring to his own "dopy show".
People are catching onto Billo. Following is a streaming player with several Billo "confrontations" in which his tactics --strawmen, bullying, misstating positions, loaded questions, et al --are increasingly evident. These interviews are notable in that Billo is finding it harder to get away with it. People who fight back are winning. Many guests are making Billo look like the lying idiot that he truly is. Billo, in you and in George W. Bush, is found every prejudice, every fallacy, every pernicious, hateful lie that has undermined and militated against every good thing that was ever in any way associated with the US by anyone at any time. Billo, you are vile! You shame even the shameful Fox network!

Great post - O'Reilly is heinous. And the stuff from the sexual harrassment lawsuit is just disgusting. Who does that sort of thing in this day and age? It's just gross. I work at a major corporation and the slightest hint of that kind of conduct would get a person fired.
The idea of Bill O'Reilly on the Supreme Court gives me nightmares.
I've never favored robbing anyone of a livelihood --but, in O'Reilly's case, I suggest he do what he is most qualified to do! And it ain't broadcasting!
sorry to change subject for a sec, but I woudn't want you boys and girls to miss this thing picked from Reuters:
“As he viewed many of the exhibits showing scenes from Auschwitz and other death, Bush, [who] appeared to be so moved [...] was quoted from Shalev as saying “we should have bombed it (Auschwitz) ” in reference to the map of the camp compound that was supposed to have been the one that then President Franklin D. Roosevelt was shown when he decided not to have U.S. Air Corps bombers attack during bombing raids in the later months of WWII.”
My god. What an immense moron… Everybody knows that the camp had been uncovered by the Russians with hundreds of walking corpse locked and abandoned by its capos and guards running away from the red menace.
That is exatly why, FDR knew better but to bomb the camps. The only thing the allied would have killed are were just innocent prisoners.
But Bush's answer to everything is, “we should have bombed it!”. And this line seems that it will definitely remain one of the main quote of his legacy.
if you try to think within Bush’s logic, we should have bomb that stadium in Texas in order to resolve the problem of Katrina refugees, shoudn't we? We should probably have bombed Alaska to get that oil to spring faster from the underground too?
And let’s not forget to continue encouraging Israeli and the Palestinians to continue bombing themselves up, as to push peace further up in the air, ridding the shock wave.
Finally, it goes without saying that Iran will get bomb soon enough… if we just can get the Navy to upload on YouTube better videos the New York Times can finally stop doubting….
Dante, I agree with you completely on this issue. For one thing, I cannot believe that Bush has ever shed a genuine tear in his miserable, wasted life. Secondly, bombing Auschwitz was probably nixed for at least three valid reasons: 1) Auschwitz was of no strategic importance; 2)As you point out, it would have killed innocent people, including some who survived the camp; 3) It would have diverted crucial military strength.
I interviewed one of those survivors at length. His name was Seigi Isaskson. (he is now deceased) Seigi told me that as he was forcibly marched to Auschwitz --his "final" camp of incarceration --allies were, indeed, bombing Nazi positions behind the lines, often near where they marched.
Seigi's extensive recollections have been recorded and archived. They are available in digital format at the Houston Holocaust Museum.
You are absolutely correct. Bush's answer to everything is: BOMB IT!
I think Billo is simply an entertainer who is to journalism, what any WWF wrestler is to competitive sport.
Like a WWF wrestler, Billo is paid to be an obnoxious bad guy. Even he wouldn't believe everything he says, for his words are said mostly to play to the gallery of FOX's viewers, to inflame their blood-lust, to keep them coming back for more.
Who knows, Billo, in the privacy of his home in the company of family and friends, may be as relaxed and congenial as a fireside tabby cat.
You're right. Billo is a "stealth" journalist. Personally, I don't take anything said on Fox seriously. Sadly --a lot of people hang on his every word. He's a miserable SOB.
…problem is, millions of Americans still take him seriously.
This very week, I “debated” three persons swearing Bill ‘O’really?’ was “fair and balanced”.
We, liberals, would love to think of him as irrelevant. He isn’t, alas.
Dante, you hit on the real danger posed by an asshole like Billo. Indeed, it seems that FOX, in general, had already subverted the national debate by the time "liberals" figured out that millions take ALL that pure bullshit seriously.
Len-
I live 100 miles from the Canadian border. If Bill O'Rielly was on the Supreme Court, I would renounce my US citizenship and move to Canada. In the past 7 years, Ive been thinking about just that quite often anyways...
Imagine...Socialized medicine and no assholes in charge...could it be heaven? The only thing is, Id have to learn french to speak to half the population, but thats a small price to pay than all the languages spoken here...
The only thing I have had a geniune problem with is that your blog sometimes uses FOX as a source. If you are monitoring it for accuracy fine, but to quote a fasict slanted organization that employs O'Reilly, that is sacreligious!!!!

French is a beautiful language --the language of Descarte, Balzac, Hugo and Voltaire, Zola, Dumas and de Maupassant, to name but a very few. One could do worse. I have struggled with French since high school and will probably never feel completely adequate. French is limited to less than 300 thousand words or less, as I recall.
English, having "appropriated" almost the entire French vocabulary after the Norman invasion, must have nearly as many words at Chinese. Last time I checked, the Chinese vocabulary was better than 600,000 words and English nearly as many.
In any case, all three languages have more words than are ever used in either conversation or print by a single person. As far as I know, the largest written vocabulary is Shakespeare at more than 35,000 words. Safe to say --no one now living has a vocabulary anywhere near that of Shakespeare. Somewhat off topic --Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Theories that Bacon, de Vere, or even Christopher Marlowe wrote Shakespeare are way off the mark. Even Queen Elizabeth herself is a better candidate than de Vere based on stylometric studies. Marlowe had been dead about two weeks before the first "Shakespeare" play was recorded. And, finally, Shakespeare plays are literally shot through with somewhat arcane and specific references to and about Warwickshire --words that were most probably unknown to Bacon or to anyone outside of Warwickshire. Bacon was born near London. Even today, in various parts of England, you may find among the older generations, highly localized vocabularies. It is one of the things that makes England so rich and so interesting.
I recall citing Fox recently with regard to the Bin Laden is dead story to make the point that EVEN Fox reported his death. I even wrote the critical line that apparently the idiots at Fox had forgotten their own story. MOre recently, Fox showed up among the sources but, as I recall, Fox had cited another news organization as well.
Thanks for your comments and, indeed, Canada sounds like a great country. Bonne chance : )
