Steaming Mad Over 'Children and Sex' Book (transcript O'Reilly vrs Joycelyn Elders)

Fox News ^ | 4/09/02 | Fox transcript

BILL O'REILLY, HOST:In the Personal Story segment tonight, a controversial new book called Harmful to Minors. It comes out in May, and already some Americans are steaming mad, calling the book evil. That's because it says, among other things, that sex is not harmful to children. It is a vehicle for self-knowledge. And that the threat of pedophilia and molestation is exaggerated in America.

ELDERS: That doesn't make the child a pedophile.

She actually said, "That doesn't make the child a pee-dee-ophile. I just heard her say that now (on a Saturday night O'Reilly rerun.)

Isn't it funny that Elders mispronounces "pedophile" and Schumer mispronounces "erudite?" He says "Air-ee-yoo-dite."

[LarryLied]

Think her comment about masturbation was even too much for Clinton and was the reason for her leaving office.

Well, this might not be the best place to defend Dr. Elders, but I didn't think the interview was as bad as some have said; in fact, I thought O'Reilly came off looking the worst. Specifically, I'm thinking about the quote that said something like: "Sex with a child does not a pedophile make." O'Reilly was in a real huff about this one, but Elders had a pretty good reply. She said the quote didn't mean that an adult who has sex with a child is not a pedophile, but rather that a child who has sex, perhaps due to abuse, will not necessarily become a pedophile himself. O'Reilly was so worked up that he never heard Elders' answer or responded to it, and it was impossible to be sure what the quote really meant because O'Reilly never put it in context. Elders' interpretation made sense, and overall I think she had more credibility since she stayed calm and had probably read the book. I doubt O'Reilly actually read it; he probably had a staffer skim for the worst sounding parts. Moreover, Dr. Elders said several times that pedophilia is obviously wrong.

"and was the reason for her leaving office."

Larry, Larry, I am shocked at you. You are always direct and to the point. Let's get it straight......SHE WAS FIRED by Clinton.

I did get a hoot kick out of an NAACP meeting where she was introduced like she was the greatest SG that ever existed. While it was pure disgust, it showed exactly where their mentality is.

[LarryLied]

I did the shuffle cause I didn't remember if she was fired or just left...lol

It is sad the NAACP held her up as a model.

[Texas Mom]

This woman has sex on the brain. I swear that is all she ever thinks about. Her brain must be located somewhere below her waist.

[Uncle Meat]

She very, very intelligent among her peers.

Har,har,har,yuk,yuk,yuk,stop it man,you're killing me,hah,hah hah,ho,ho,hee,hee,hee.You're a funny guy,anybody ever tell you that.

>>Satan is hard at work in this country, and Elders is the personification of the success he is achieving.<<

From what I have read, the Bible says that Satan is a liar, and the father of lies. In this transcript, Elders does nothing but lie, lie, lie.

Y'suppose there's a connection?

Y'suppose there's a connection?

That would be a logical conclusion to draw now, wouldn't it?
