Producer alleges Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly forced her into phone sex
Could this be the end of this crappy demagogue? I sure hope she has a blue dress of proof.
I hope so, but O-lie-ly and Fox will turn this around on the victim and demonize her so much that nothing will come of it.
I’m sure he’s guilty, though.
Of course you are. Who needs ‘proof’ when you have that gut-feeling?
Gut feelings worked for Bush.
How do you force someone to have phone sex?
If you’re uncomfortable, you just hang up, right? And if you’re afraid for your job or something, and he’s wanted to be all hot and sweaty on the phone before, you tape your calls to him. Then, you have the leverage to refuse and have his nuts in a sling at the same time.
This sounds…weird.
Not only that, it sounds true.
What a coincidence. Just last week, some evil person called me on the telephone three times and made me sing the Klatchian national anthem, backwards.
And he’s out there walking around.
It’s not unusual for a man in a position of power to manipulate women into doing things they don’t want to do.
Let’s not blame the victim here.

Ouch. Rough. Similar ting happened to me, but I had it easier. I just had to sing:
dlog, dlog, dloG
dlog, dlog, dlog, dloG
dlog, dlog, dloG
dlog, dlog, dlog, dloG
Ha ha ha! Isn’t sexual harassment funny?
Who knows if it is true. I am not convinced that it must be true, because I know jack shit about O’Reilly’s personal life or quirks, and I know jack shit about his accuser.
On one hand, O’Reilly would seem to be too savvy to do something so stupid. On the other hand, sometimes when a guy gets a little popularity and some attention, he can be really stupid and arrogant, and pull shit like this. On the other hand, the accuser could have a motivation to try to make trouble for him (money, attention). On the other hand, why put yourself through that? Why make something like that up?
See? It’s too soon to know for sure. I don’t think that O’Reilly is past doing something this sleazy, but I am not by any means convinced that he must be guilty, based on someone’s sole accusation.
While my initial reaction to the actual accusation is fairly skeptical, I gotta wonder about this:
Trying to embarrass O’Reilly before the election? I hadn’t noticed his name on the ticket. What the hell?
In this post-Linda Tripp world, I find it impossible to believe that a woman who works as a producer for the media would not get documentary evidence in the form of a tape recording. If this happened once - sure. But she alleges multiple instances. Sorry. Not buying it.
Any more than I’d buy it if the accused was John Kerry or Al Franken or Dan Rather.
Almost as hilarious as being innocent until proven guilty! :ROFLORIDA:
O’Reilly’s lawyer isn’t so sure. From the same cited story:
This makes little sense to me, however. If Green thinks the tapes will exonerate his client, why does he think Mackris would have taped the conversations?
She’s a Demmie? And there are no recordings or any other evidence, other than her Kool-Aid quaffing good word? Well that pretty much settles that.
The Smoking Gun has copies of the complaint up
The accusations don’t really start until page 6, but some of them are pretty funny. How does one have sex with a Falafel?
Some things really are better left unexamined…
