Presumably, because Ted Bundy is permanently unavailable, the It Happened To Alexa Foundation thought asking Bill O’Reilly to speak at their fundraiser to help support rape survivors would be a good idea.
No. Really.
Bill O’Reilly is scheduled to speak on March 19th, at a luncheon for the It Happened To Alexa Foundation, at the Ritz Carlton, in Manalapan Florida. This is, simply, outrageous. The Alexa Foundation’s mission is to “assist rape victims and their families by easing the financial burden they face while traveling to attend the criminal trial.” Bill O’Reilly, however, has shown his total disregard for rape victims in the following statement made on his radio show: “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’s out of her mind, drunk.”
And Bill knows how to handle those bitches who had it coming:
If any woman ever breathed a word I’ll make her pay so dearly she’ll wish she’d never been 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 besides, she wouldn’t be able to afford the lawyers that I can or endure it financially as long as I can. 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.
Twenty bucks says Bill hits on a woman in the bar afterward who informs him that she’s a rape survivor and Bill replies, "That’s cool. I’m not a virgin either…"
Bill is smooth that way…

Was he not invited to a “Save the Children” or some such charity event a few yrs. back, & then it was decided he should fuck off?
Or was that another, different, rightie hypocrite? That, too, was in Florida, I believe.
Maybe he’s trying to ingratiate himself w/ the neighbors at his “Florida vacation home.”
Yup. Right again. Two yrs. ago, in Florida. Missing & Exploited Children. And Mr. Sensitivity’s earlier remarks did him in.
Is Naples near Manalapan?
Skeevy loud mouthed Nazi shitwad. Fuck him.
Manalapan is on the east coast. Perhaps they are trying to draw in the sensitive Republican Gold Coast crowd? This is one of those deals that makes one scratch their head and ask: “What the fuck were YOU thinking?”
“Thank you for inviting me to speak here today. I am honored. For women who find themselves in this horrible situation I have just one piece of advice: lay back and enjoy it. I mean, it’s inevitable, right?”
HUGEWTF(fuckity,fuck,fuck)is any rape support group considering O’Reilly in the first place? There’s NO ONE ELSE they could think of? Really? Now my head hurts. Owie.
Wow. Someone at the IHTA Foundation is seriously off their rocker if they think this is the kind of publicity they need. It’d be like the NCAAP asking David Duke to give a pep talk. Others have already done the research and connected the dots, so I can go back to marveling at teh stupid.
Gawd help em if they do a question and answer thingy with BillO. Billy lives on the edge, and is always just seconds away from a full-bore meltdown. Hope they have security.
Maybe they can make the best of it, using the “the falafal is half full” approach, and place him in a glass booth on stage as exhibit A of what is wrong with the American Male.
Some possible questions:
1. Mr. O’Reilly, when a woman says no to showering with middle eastern food products, does no mean no?
2. Sir, what length of miniskirt do you use as a cutoff point when deciding which interns to sexually exploit?
3. When you say, “let’s do this fucking thing live” what are you implying?
Bill, why was it an outrage when Prez Clinton had consensual sex with an intern, but OK for you to harass an unwilling young woman in your office? And how much was that settlement, Bill?
First Rush throws a “women’s summit” to discuss his “gender gap.”
Now BillO plans to address a rape-victim fundraiser.
Gearing up for Sarah ‘12, the upper crusties of the far-right seek to camouflage the 800-lb Misogynist in the Republican parlor (not to mention its twin, the 800-lb Racist).
“What do women want?”
Since I have to guess: For woman-hating blowhards like Rush and BillO to shut the fuck up?
Don’t mince words, what do you really think?
What kind of organization invites the skeeviest misogynist in modern history to keynote their fundraiser? If it’s not simply a wingut front, then it must be a collection of sickest fucks on the planet.
In related news; Hannibal Lechter will appear on next week’s episode of Iron Chef.
Hmmm. The foundation attorney found it necessary to mention BillO in her statement on the IHTA website. (http://www.ithappenedtoalexa.org/about2.html) I wonder if it’s part of O’Reilly’s settlement? Community service?
I found the “attorneys’ statements” self-serving and self-aggrandizing.
To echo moondancer, above
These folks are either incredibly stupid or not honest.
Just thinking about this makes me feel like I need a shower….
But the stupid is indelible.
It’s Tuesday now – Does Keith Olbermann read you, TBogg? He mentioned this last night.
I can understand that the group wasn’t aware of O’Reilly’s statements – who can follow his every word, after all—but I don’t get why any group of any kind other than pure right wingnut politics would want him to speak for any reason.
Boggles the mind.
Oh. I see. Huh.
From the statement about representing the foundation’s namesake at her rapist’s trial:
Sounds like name-dropping, to me. I am trying to give her the benefit of the doubt – maybe “working with” means she met him a few times for a minute or two at fundraisers or something…
Surely, if she really knows the man she’d know better than this.
Bet Keith’s piece got a lot of email going – think I’ll add to it. brb. ; )
Done – message to “It Happened to Alexa.” I’ll update if I get a response.
Thanks, TBogg.
(And I came here just looking for basset pix to cheer me up today)
