How O'Reilly Rolls
Eschaton — Classy.

Bully Bill
This Modern World — Loves to send his stalkers out to harass people . But there’s a basic strategy for dealing with this. It’s something I gave some pretty serious thought to after I did a major cover piece on O’Reilly for the flagship paper of a chain that would later – Ah, no need to go there. At any rate: the strategy for anyone confronted with one of O’Reilly’s hit men is simple. They ask a question, you respond, “Andrea Mackris, vibrator, loofa, falafel falafel falafel.” There’s no way they’re going to air that, trust me. posted by Tom Tomorrow at 11:16 AM ...

O'Reilly Stalking Amanda Terkel
Booman Tribune — Two points: First, we shouldn't be surprised that the Bill O'Reilly outfit gets off on stalking women because this is a man that sexually harasses his own employees and threatens them with falafel. Second, anyone who messes with Amanda Terkel is bound to come out on the losing end.

Brainster's Blog — Women Should Be Allowed to Be Falling Down Drunk, Wearing No Clothes, And Not Get Raped In a perfect world. Unfortunately this is not a perfect world. Our post — which never criticized the Alexa Foundation — 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 about Jennifer Moore, an 18-year-old woman who was raped and murdered: Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to ...

O'Reilly Goes Stalking
Shakesville — ... The Fox crew, at O'Reilly's behest, literally stalked Amanda and ambushed her on her vacation in an attempt to get her to apologize to the Alexa Foundation for her comments. Amanda handled the encounter very professionally, presumably not giving little lapdog Watters any material that they could reasonably air (which doesn't mean they won't air it, anyway). Since the whole crew there is a huge shitpile of cowardice, I can't imagine we'd get any response to Amanda's main point: ...

When O'Reilly sends stalkers
Political Animal — ... on the issue. In response, O'Reilly sought retaliation against Amanda. This weekend, while on vacation, I was ambushed by O'Reilly's top hit man, producer Jesse Watters, who accosted me on the street and told me that because I highlighted O'Reilly's comments, I was causing "pain and suffering" to rape victims and their families. He of course offered no proof to back up this claim, instead choosing to shout questions at me. The harassment was more than a little scary, apparently including staking out Amanda's home and following her for two hours. Now, in some cases, O'Reilly ...

Daily Kos — ... the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she's out of her mind, drunk. That's par for the course for this sick little man, and no longer raises too many hackles. O'Reilly, however, still managed to finagle an invitation to speak at the Alexa Foundation, an organization for rape survivors. In light of this, ThinkProgress thought it appropriate to remind the blogosphere of O'Reilly's past views towards rape victims. Here's how Team Billo responded. This weekend, while on vacation, I was ...

Hullabaloo — ... This is awful. If O'Reilly actually runs this footage you will see that his paid stalker is harrassing a young woman on the street in a threatening manner. Considering that the whole "controversy" is about O'Reilly's comments that women "ask for it" I'm not sure it will come across quite the way O'Reilly and his thug mean it to. Of course, considering O'Reilly's audience, perhaps it will --- they love him for his misogyny. Makes 'em feel like men. ...

O'Reillery
ECHIDNE OF THE SNAKES — ... because I highlighted O'Reilly's comments, I was causing 'pain and suffering' to rape victims and their families." But O'Reilly has previously suggested that the "ambush journalism" conducted by his producers is limited to targeting "public servants" and stated that prior to those "ambush" interviews, subjects would either be asked on the program or asked "to issue a clear statement explaining their actions."

O'Reilly Harasses Young Female In Response To Allegations He's Insensitive To Rape Victims
News Hounds — ... about why we thought it inappropriate for O'Reilly to speak at a fundraiser for rape victims. In response, O'Reilly sicced his ambush go-to guy, Jesse Watters, on Terkel. He followed her for two hours last weekend for the sole purpose of ambushing her with a question he knew she'd not likely be able to answer off the top of her head and then attacking her when she couldn't. Somehow, that “proved” to O'Reilly that Terkel was part of some evil conspiracy, along with NBC and Media Matters, to smear him and harm rape victims. O'Reilly also seemed to think that by doing so, he had ...

Almost missed the very disturbing story of Think Progress' Amanda Terkel being stalked over the weekend by one of Bill O'Reilly's creeps, Jesse Watters. Amanda's account of the what happened is here. There's a real misogynistic streak to this whole thing. I'm just trying to think of what went through the peabrains of the people at FOX to think this was a good idea. And, what was Watters thinking as he followed Amanda for a couple hours? Creepy. There have been many egregious acts and ridiculous reports by the folks at FOX. But, O'Reilly crossed a line here.

The Reaction — ... Amanda Terkel of Think Progress, for example, was stalked, ambushed, and, given what any woman on her own would feel when approached by strangers, threatened by producer Jesse Watters, "O'Reilly's top hit man," and a camera man -- all because Terkel dared to question why O'Reilly had been asked to speak at a fundraiser for the Alexa Foundation, an organization that supports rape victims. And why did she do that? Because, to put it mildly, O'Reilly hasn't exactly been sympathetic to rape victims, implying on more than one occasion that "women who dress in a certain way or ...
