Enough is Enough: O'Reilly responds.
http://www.billoreilly.com/pg/jsp/community/tvshow.jsp#a

Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly... thanks for watching us tonight... we are living in treacherous times. That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.

Just about every famous person I know has been threatened and worked over by somebody. Fame makes you a target... it is something that has to be taken seriously. As I've mentioned before, I have received many threats over the years... everything from death letters to some guy running around the country offering people $25 thousand to sign affidavits accusing me of whatever.

The lawyers here at Fox News have been great in dealing with these situations... although the stuff printed on websites remain almost impossible do deal with. But there comes a time when enough's enough.... and so this morning I had to file a lawsuit against some people who are demanding $60 million, or they will "punish me and Fox News."
***

Obviously, I can't get into specifics as the litigation is in motion, but I do respect my audience and feel you should know exactly what's going on. This is the single most evil thing I have ever experienced... and I've seen a lot. But these people picked the wrong guy. They can throw anything they want at me, I'll take it. And in the end... we'll see who's left standing. And that's the memo.

2. Cry me a river buddy--
he doesn't deny it's true-he's just claiming he's a victim because he's famous. Uhh--you're a sex pervert Billy Boy--and that's the truth!

3. Well, if he gets fired, he already has another career lined up:
From the lawsuit:

O'Reilly further suggested that the women need to be trained so they'd be equipped and ready to go when a "real man shows up in your lives", and offered "lessons".

5. The single most evil thing he's ever seen? WOW.
Funny that it should be something that just coincidentally happened to HIM.

6. Maybe he is being unfairly smeared.
It's possible. At the same time, he has smeared hundreds of people unfairly for the last ten years, so this may just be the chickens coming home to roost.

20. Have you read the complaint? Do you know that there are
TAPES of some of the conversation? Do you also realize that very few women would go through with a suit like this on a whim or a lark or based on lies because of the backlash, the humiliation, the continued harrassment of a different kind?

Sheesh.

8. Poor, poor Bill O'Reilly, always the victim
I'm sure Al O'Frankin can sympathize with him, the poor lying liar.

9. Hey, O'Liely: SHUT UP! If only for the 911 survivor you bullied
and this is just deserts - even if made up. You'll become a joke - one way or another - and feel the way people you shouted at felt. How do you like them apples?

14. "I do respect my audience and feel you should know exactly what's going on
Well tell them one thing, did you do it? Will you lie or rely on bad intel?

Nowhere does he deny the charges.

18. A preview of Bill's legal defense
"If any woman ever breathed a word I'll make her pay so dearly she'd wish she was never born. I'll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she'll be destroyed."

and

"And nobody would believe her, it'd be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They'd see her as some psycho, someone unstable"

These two slime molds have a lot in common. Lowlifes.
