A friend of mine passed me this link wherein Amanda Terkel (a friend of hers, and a blogger at CAP) gets stalked by O'Reilly's producers, cornered and harrassed by an O'Reilly producer, and then called a "Villain" by O'Reilly on his show. All because Terkel had the temerity to blog about the hypocrisy of O'Reilly headlining a benefit for a rape support foundation after he made derogatory comments about a rape victim on his radio show:
Our post highlighted the fact that in the past, O'Reilly has implied that women who dress in a certain way or consume too much alcohol should perhaps expect to be raped. Here is what he said on his radio show on Aug. 2, 2006, about Jennifer Moore, an 18-year-old woman who was raped and murdered:
"Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to college. She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning. She's walking by herself on the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she'ss out of her mind, drunk."
Take a look here at Terkel's post on the O'Reilly thuggery, as well as the clip from O'Reilly's show where the harassment takes place: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/23/oreilly-terkel/
