Well, I agree. I said upthread that there was no allegation that O’Reilly explicitly stated, or even implied that he specifically liked the vibrators to be inserted in his caboose. Mackey’s own inferrence was that he was “using the vibrator on himself” but, as I said, there are other ways that he could have been doing. People are completely bizarre when it comes to sexual kinks. Who knows what he was doing? He could have been using it on his genitals. He could have been using it on a Barbie doll or jamming it in his ear. He may just get off on the sound.
Anyway, his fondness for vibrators, while hysterically funny, is not a crime and is not what got him in trouble. To me, the most unflattering thing in the complaint was not even the sex calls, but his ranting threats about what he would do to any woman who talked.
Honeychild, I already responded to your little-foot-stomping demand by agreeing that O’Reilly didn’t say it, he acted it out. If you had actually bothered to read the thread before trying to junior-mod it, you’d have known that long ago.
If you have some actual content to contribute to this thread, or to the board in general, you’re welcome to do so at any time. Nothing you’ve said here is content, or a contribution, however, and in fact has lowered its tone - and this is the Pit.
If you’ve enjoyed joining **John ** and **Finn ** in their little wankfest here, that’s nice - but you should have taken a lesson from O’Reilly, kept it in private, and not posted the transcripts here.
Just so this is totally ready for the glue factory:
This is pure fantasy. You made it up. Why did you feel it was okay to lie in order to make your point? Then, instead of apologizing for lying, you backpeddle.
So, not only don’t we get an apology, we get a half assed “you got me”. And then, of course, the second half of the sentence is a lie. The plaintif did not claim that she thought that’s what he was doing, only that he was using a vibe, and he climaxed. As Dio pointed out, the fucker may have used it for various purposes.
In other words, you’ve done your best to distort the truth from the word go. That you’re still not willing to admit that is unsettling. But hey, anybody who wants you to stick to the truth must be a total bastard, right?
I’m still waiting for a link to the "audio clips. Like I said, I’ll give him a pass on the “transcripts” part, even though you really can’t call what is on TheSmokingGun a “transcript”.
I’m trying desperately to figure out why the title of this thread isn’t “Endless, pointless whinging about O’Reilly’s harassment suit (warning! Soul-damaging imagery)”
Oh, that’s right! Because the whole O’Reilly thing is a giant pointless distraction with absolutely no relation to the original purpose of the thread! Way to give Karl Rove a giant, throbbing woody, folks!
As if the O’Reilly images weren’t enough. Thanks a bunch.
wring, finn, I’ve made myself clear enough to anyone *not * engulfed in a self-generated mist of pretended righteousness. You’ve thrown around very loose accusations of a serious nature without first considering the results, you’ve had the facts explained to you, you’ve ignored them and turned up the volume instead of listening. An adult would not have done that, and, if she had, would at some point have realized it and backed down, yes, with the apology that mystifies you so. Someone with an actual interest in the purpose of the board would at some point have contributed some actual content to the discussion instead of screaming about other people’s attempts to do so - but you haven’t even considered that, have you?
But suit yourself. As for the subject you brought up instead, comparative reputations, ask Hamlet how well that little poll turned out for him when he tried it. You *really * might not want to know, especially not after this extended tantrum you’ve put on here for everyone to see.
Maaaaaaaan! I am such a slacker. Here I go and self-generate a mist and I can’t even self-generate a mist of real righteousness. Naw, my lazy slacker ass just self-generated a mist of pretend righteousness.
