Folks, could it be that we are witnessing the end of feminist false accusation activism against our economy and marriage? Granted, Bill "Lefty" O'Reilly is an effeminate liberal and a perv, but the workplace is no place for huge lawsuits by seductive women!

Gentlemen, start your employment engines!

[familyop]

Ping!

Go for it!

[MissEdie]

I'm just thankful he's fighting back.

"Lefty" has the ring of truth to it - it might just stick with a little work. LOL

That headline is seven words too long.

I'd rather they fire O'Reilly and replace him with Hume or Snow.

"In a weird twist, O'Reilly's attorney, Ronald Green, believes that Mackris has tapes of her conversations with O'Reilly. Green has the court to have Mackris produce the tapes so they can be aired publicly. "I know that he does not fear what is on the tapes," Green said according to the Detroit Free Press." It's called Put up or Shut up. Obviously if they have anything on tape, she had to be trapping him and it would show on tape. OTOH, maybe there are no tapes and FOX wants to call their bluff soon instead of having this drag out.

Whatever, it should be noted that during her short stint at CNN, her boss there was terminated for Sexual Harrassment! Maybe she was not the principle complainant but I bet she sure got some OTJ training!

I doubt it.

I'd like to hear the phone tapes to hear her contribution to the conversation. Her lawyer, btw, is far south of sleazy on the scum meter. I wouldn't have been surprised to see toilet paper hanging out of his pocket. She must have had to dive into the sewage systm to find him.

I always wondered why O'Reilly began suddenly vearing to the left. I think his knowledge that this was coming is as good an explanation as anything. I wonder if Dan Rather will cover this or give him a pass? In any event, I don't think O'Reilly's strategy is going to work. Like pirranas, their all going to want a piece of his ratings.

On first reading of this I thought it said 'Fox wanted to fire O'Reilly!'. . .

[stockpirate]

I think they should FIRE Mr. O'Slimmy. After watching him insult and make sexual comments to Ann Coulter the other night I for one have had enough of him.

[Jack Deth]

I guess Ms. Mackris will just have to back to CNN or MSNBC and hope for the best. Single thousands (If that!) from Fox. Instead of $60,000,000. If she's lucky!

Jack.

[A Real Dan Fan... NOT]

Actually, Fox should send her off to the Arctic to do a special on the mating habits of peguins. It should take about 12 years to do the story in depth.
Problem solved without having to do much of anything else.
But they can still run Bill's ass off.

Most states have laws against surreptitiously tape recording someone. Anyone know the law in New York?

Taken from Ann Coulter's article, "Admitted war criminal cries foul" August 26, 2004 There are several methods of evaluating the claims of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, 254 of whom have signed a letter saying John Kerry is not fit to be commander in chief. There is the Bill O'Reilly method, which is to abandon independent thinking and simply come out in the middle, irrespective of where the two sides are. In response to Newt Gingrich's remark that the Swift Boat Veterans' independent ads were "the conservative movement's answer to Michael Moore," O'Reilly said, "I don't want either of them." In Nazi Germany, O'Reilly would have condemned both Hitler's death camps and the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In Bill O'Reilly's world, King Solomon would have actually cut the disputed baby in half. The O'Reilly method of analysis works well about once a century. The last time was when Hitler invaded Russia in 1941. Link: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/printac20040826.shtml

Maybe the tapes show she encouraged him or led him on. If she brought things up in conversation his only crime may have been to go along with it all thinking he was talking to a 'friend'. While I'm no longer a BOR fan, this whole thing has a Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill smear smell about it. My guess is she either has or will try to edit the tapes to leave things out. I wonder if we'll get the entire conversation from ring to dial tone (although creative editing can make up any kind of conversation).

[FlJoePa]

Fire them both. And hire Laura.

[lolhelp]

This is stupid. No one has phone sex aganist their will.

[Dacus943]

" alleged comments include the talk-show host reportedly encouraging her to use a vibrator and during a phone call"

Hey... on several occasions I told my ex-wife the same thing minus the vibrator. She never wanted to sue me!!!

[Brizick]

This just gives sKerry an excuse not to appear on 'The Factor' like our great President Bush did.

O'Bloviator is supposed to rerun W's interview the night before the election.

I am with many of you. After he IGNORED the SwiftVets, I quit watching.

[BigSkyFreeper]

If the charges can prove he did what the accuser claims he did, it makes all those years of BO dogging Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal, as someone in power manipulating an underling seem laughable.
