By firing Bill O'Reilly for sexual harassment, you realize the moral standard to be a Fox News host is now higher than to be President?

Guys, even by a conservative's standards,
he comes as holier than thou. Which if
that's the way you want to preach, you
better live it.

This is the same guy who led a successful campaign to get Ludacris canned
(ha) as a spokesman for Pepsi because of the rapper's inappropriate lyrics
about women.

Good point. I'm going to go bang my head against the wall for a few hours now.

That kind of hypocrisy is a feature of conservatism, not a bug.

Well at least there is this to be said about the whole thing. O'Rielly is still going to get paid tens of millions of dollars from Fox. That's awesome right ?!?

How's the rebooting of my sarcasm mode going??

They should give him the same hands off policy Bill Clinton get's for every single one of his alleged sexual misadventures along with molesting an intern in the Oval Office.

Bill Clinton didn't 'molest' Monica Lewinsky.  They were two adults who willingly engaged in sexual activity with each other.

So, let me see if I understand your logic: O'Reilly should be allowed to continue in his job at Fox AND continue sexually harassing women because Bill Clinton hasn't been fired from whatever job you want him to be fired from (and we're apparently just disregarding his impeachment).

Uh-huh. Oooookay.

Will have to disagree with that comment. Clinton was in a position of power over Lewinsky. As such, it is never a consensual arrangement. Should a school teacher get a pass with having an affair with a student, if the student is legal age? Did Lewinsky have a choice to refuse Clinton's advances, knowing that her job could have been in jeopardy? It certainly was not consensual and Clinton should have been treated like every other asshole who abuses his power. Sadly, he wasn't and it was Lewinsky who was attacked and satired instead of him.

Neil,  Lewinsky wasn't a student it's not a fair comparison. Also you don't know what she was thinking at the time of the incident. We don't know if her job was in jeopardy. We don't know if she felt that way. She absolutely had a choice. Perhaps she would have lost her job if she rejected Clinton's advances. Perhaps she wouldn't have.  We can not say for certain that it wasn't consensual at the time it happen. It's possible that it was and afterwards she regretted what happen.  Or maybe you are correct in everything that you wrote.

  I think that it's important to remember none of us were there. So in the spirit of fairness we should consider all parties involved as capable of being potentially guilty and or  innocent.  Until undeniable proof presents itself we shouldn't pass judgement on either side.

Where is all this concern for women when the GOP debates health care? As far as Republicans are concerned, there have been only six or so legitimate rapes in American history, and they were all committed by Bill Clinton.
