This is simply unbelievable!
Well, that sounds like the most immature paper since the 'Weekly Reader.'
The Bennington paper is a looney socialist paper and has been forever.
Typical liberal tactic - raise a point of hyperbole that has not been raised by your opponent.
O'Reilly has not called for the dude to be castrated. He has called for a prison sentence that fits the crime.
Speaking of helping the little girl, what, we wonder, is O'Reilly doing on that front. If he were more like his counterparts in the phony baloney realm of TV, he would get off his keister and use some of his millions to help the girl and her family out. Maybe offer to pay for her college tuition and a lifetime of psychotherapy.
And then to the typical liberal position - it's all about money and material things. Not about justice or protecting the public.
How embarrassing for Bennington.............to say it was "sophomoric" gives it too much credit. More like a sixth grade effort.
O'Reily, that cagey rope salesman!
I assume your BARF ALERT is because you're sharing something from O'Reilly's BLOG - right?
This is just too hilarious. The circulation numbers for the Banner? 7,254 weekly, and a whopping 7,613 readers on Sunday. In other words, a change of a single reader is statistically significant for this paper.
Meanwhile, O'Reilly gets millions of viewers each day.
The more I read this, the more it becomes a textbook example of liberal delusion.
Noah Hoffenberg wouldn't happen to be a member of NAMBLA, would he?
O'Reilly is often a blowhard and is often wrong.
But he's dead-on with this subject - and the fact that any liberals will try and pretend otherwise reveals their own pathologies.
Typical liberal hypocritical swill.
"...because everything to you is a black and white matter..."
Yet, the whole tone of the piece is one of "O'Reilly bad; we good". Libs are the most black and white people around...
The "Barf Alert" means that, if you are a normal, fair-minded person, this "statement" should make you sick to your stomach.
Rights of the perpetrator.
He had a right to a fair trial. He got one. He was found guilty.
And for repeatedly raping a very young girl, he gets 60 days? Martha Steward got more time than that. He should be put in jail for at least 25 years, if not life.
He is wrong, however, about the only thing he mentioned that wasn't a jibe towards B.O.: ......Cashman got what he wanted: Jailtime for the sicko and treatment in prison.
Cashman did not want any jailtime for the sicko at all. He wanted him to get treatment-which is seldom effective-at home.
"Speaking of helping the little girl, what, we wonder, is O'Reilly doing on that front.

Hey, Noah. Mr. Big mouth...why don't you respond in kind? How about buying the perp an iron penis so it won't be chopped off? Don't you want to protect this guy so he continue on his "merry way"? And why you're at it, how about paying for the Judge's retraining for other gainful employment--if you don't, he'll probably get lynched. So please save him! Surely you're rich enough. Come on, how about it!
So, mr. editor, can he borrow YOUR daughter for awhile?
This editorial writer is dumber than dumb!
It is precisely because O'Reilly raised this outrage as an issue that anything was done.
Life in prison will accomplish that. Victims require justice. A sixty day sentence tells the victim "we (the state) don't think what this rapist did to you was all that bad". Shoplifters and drunk drivers get worse sentences. And mandated counseling instead of punishment tells the victim "we (the state) think this rapist is a good person, he just has a disease".
