just a normal O'reilly interview

O'Really loves to beat up on women.

Joan wasn't too impressed by the display. O'Reilly reminds me of an insuffient male bird trying to attrack a female. Twirling, puffing out his chest, eyes bulging, feet stomping, only to have the female fly away at the end of his performance.....
Sallie

To her credit Joan wasn't intimidated. That puffing peacock O'Really. I'd love to go just three rounds with him in the ring... come on Bill wanna take me on? LOL

makes him feel like a real man i guess





great analogy, i wasn't impressed by him......again

This reminds me of watching a John Wayne movie with my mother and grandmother. They were both huge John Wayne fans, but this was the one in which he argues with Maureen O'Hara, picks he up like a sack of potatoes, spanks her and tells her how the cow ate the cabbage.
"Well, John Wayne just dropped a few notches on my list," my mother said.
"Disgusting," my grandmother muttered.
"Well Grammy," I asked, "what would you have done if you were Maureen O'Hara?"
"He'd find himself out on the street with my broom up his... nose!"
Priceless! Both my mother and I immediately recognized what part of Wayne's anatomy my grandmother was really talking about. We laughed and laughed.
"Did you mean his ass, Grammy?"
"I don't talk like that, Sallie!"
Three Irish ladies, one long dead, one now 96, and another a month away from 71. Still not impressed by the posturings of the Bill O'Reillys....

Bill was sure worried about Joan presenting facts. I think he is alergic to them. The fact is that Tiller was tried in a court of law and aquitted. Opinions from retired psychiatrists are not relevent. Tiller was obeying the law. Joan should have done the same thing Barney Frank did to CNBC:


Interview over

The Quiet Man, a John Ford classic.

i saw that on huff po. i give barney credit for giving them as long as he did before saying enough

"The Quiet Man" is also an excellent example of a man who has the strength and courage to NOT fight for frivilous reasons.
Yet, when it MEANS something, he "puts up his dukes".


Mac

That's probably the way men saw it....

I wasn't disagreeing with your assessment of the "spanking" scene.
My wife would have reacted even more strongly than your grandmother suggested.



Mac

why weren't the circumstances of why this young girl had a late term abortion covered further?
she shows up about a minute in

I did a search and found this http://www.themediareport.com/special/pba-...elly-121206.htm at TheMediaReport.com. This is a right wing blog but I found the story interesting in that it tells the whole story of that young lady or at least the episode of O'Really that she was on. Her parents took her to the Dr. for the abortion at the age of 14. She describes the procedure but unless you are a die hard anti-abortionist you can see that it is just a procedure for aborting pregnancies that is designed to do the best with a bad situation. What I found interesting was no one even mentioned the parents or their culpability in this.

The girl feels bad yes but when you read this whole story you will see O'Really is just using her like he does anyone or anything else to make himself look good. he is a despicable piece of crap!

thanks ace

Your welcome...LOL I felt like I needed a shower after going there though...

know what you mean

It's like this statement at the end...



She was 14. Blame your parents dear not the doctor. She got pregnant, her parents took her to the doctor because they couldn't deal with it, she made a bad choice now she has to pay the consequences and like her other bad choices, drug use and promiscuous sex, she wants someone else to take the blaime. I call BS sorry.

I seem to remember that scene being from McClintock, where the whole town follows along as Wayne chases her through the town, and she loses more and more clothing until she's in her underwear - of course, still fully covered.

That was a different time, and most folks thought it was funny. You could NEVER make that kind of movie today!

GoU

she brought up depression and suicidal thoughts happened after,i'm thinking there's a good chance they were there through the pregnancy

I mean this girl was a troubled child you could tell. There's more to this than what meets the eye like you said in the beginning.

Exactly! I wonder how many pregnant 14-year-olds Bill O'Reilly knows. Obviously, he's never been 14 years old and pregnant.
I can't say that I've known any more than he has, nor have I ever been pregnant at that tender age. But it's a fair guess that this child had some problems to begin with. Why isn't anybody asking themselves any questions about her behavior prior to the pregnancy? A little wild? A little distanced from mom and dad?
If you never watched the Bill O'Reilly program and heard about this case, these would be types of questions most people would ask. Was she an only child? An eldest child? A youngest child? A middle child? When did she become impregnable? Did she have a serious boyfriend? Did she involve her parents in her on-going life?
So many questions....

Bill O'Reilly will never change. He is the consumate *ss.

I wasn't impressed with her for the most part. She got sort of forceful towards the end, but was really weak and passive for most of the interview. When dealing with the Billo the alpha blowhard you gotta come prepared with all the facts, and mercilessly bludgeon him with them. He made statements that I'm sure are complete lies, but she didn't call him on it.

i just felt terrible for her,i don't know something about the body language,lact of facts. being bi-polar and dealing with the depression that comes with it,her brief statement to do with depression didn't sit right with me.i'm not trying to play dime store shrink, i really felt like she may have been suicidal either from guilt,lack of compassion from family and friends, the whole pregnancy. her health,mental health may have been a real concern,where she might have ended up with post partum depression because of the exisiting depression. she might have been so depressed and afraid of mom and dad that she wouldn't tell them until she really showed and the whole situation could have gotten ugly where she threatened suicide. just a speculation,nothing else.



exactly sallie that's why you hit on something very important.if you don't watch o'reilly you have all the speculation in my response to ace, along with questions. why the decision to do this if it supposedly made you become depressed after? your suicidal becuase of this terrible thing? suicidal tendencies don't come on from one thing without an underlying mental illness was she ever evaluated?

but if you watch o'reilly a sound bite here or there to fire up your thirst for hatred of what bill o tells you to hate is all you need




to say the least

O'Reilly nailed her ass to the wall because she could not answer the $64,000 question:

Does a late term fetus deserve any protection whatsoever under United States law?

I beg your pardon? What does late-term abortion have to do with this? Are you on the right thread?
Fourteen-year-old has an abortion because this is what her parents wanted. Same thing as 14-year-old denied an abortion because her parents refused to give consent.
Bill O'Reilly gets this girl on his show to expose her mental problems to the world, so that he can blame her problems on an early-term abortion. This was the thrust of this show, not some throw-away observation about the less than 1% of abortions that involve late-term (after 20 weeks) abortions.
We have gone down this road a thousand times and we know every turn and twist along the way. This mindless and obsessive desire to horrify people with mental images of live babies being slaughtered upon delivery, isn't playing in this venue.
Don't talk to me about abortion until you're ready to equally condemn the deaths of children who are already born and loved by their parents because of our country's need to dispose of it's "enemies."
