O'Lielly to settle suit with payoff if tapes are destroyed.

[Fla Dem]

On Keith Olberman tonight. Talking about a $4 million payoff to make this all go away. But all tapes have to be destroyed. Keith extremely upset that we won't be able to hear the tapes. LOL.

[olddem43]

1. Someone should start a fund to put together 4.1 million to buy them.

So we can all hear them in their entirety. Larry Flint? Hef? Anyone?

[still_one]

2. I will contribute

[RapidCreek]

4. Send Flint an email.....I'm sure he'd do it.

RC

[0007]

36. Ya can bet your booties Larry's on top of it! He's a very shrewd business

man

[cpeterka]

37. Have O'Reilly Pay 4 Million for these, and THEN

Have O'Reilly Pay 4 Million for these, and then have him pay 5 Million for the second set... to parapharase it in "Republicanese",
A WOLF Can't change his stripes.
He'll do it Again and Again and Again.
The guy has a Phone Fetish, He can't stop!
He will do it over, and over, and over,
only it will cost 5 Mil, 6 Mil, 7 Mil, etc...
We'll let this guy Phone-Fxxk himself into the poor house.

[The Doctor.]

45. I'll start a fund myself....

How do I get in touch with Ms. Mackris to tell her to hold out for someone to out-bid O'Lielly?

[PsN2Wind]

3. Those tapes might be worth more

on the open market. Along with a book deal and a made for TV special. Where is Michael Moore?, I could see him reilly running with this.

[AlCzervik]

6. This stuff is strictly Larry Flynt

i bet we'll hear something from him soon.

[helnwhls]

27. Larry has more class in his little finger than Bill.

and I think Larry is the pt barnum of sex publishing.

i think Bill is a straight up bully who is reaping what he sowed.

[The Doctor.]

46. Larry Flint is a pervert, a miscreant, a lascivious pig...

but he makes no pretense to the contrary.

No wonder he hates hypocrites.
God love the man.

[benburch]

5. So he stipulated all of the allegation in the lawsuit?

If he wouldn't do that, I'd take him to trial.

[Zero Division]

7. I sure that many will agree that O'Reilly's best punishment would be

having to endure media saturation with those tapes. We can call it tough love rehabilitation. Sounds like something he'd approve of anyway.

[justjones]

47. Bill having to endure "media masturbation" is more like it, LOL! n/t

[natrat]

48. how cool would that be

a new section of the tapes every night for a month...be like a bed time story/soap opera rolled into one-----10 times better than Martha stewart

[sangh0]

8. Let's make our own!!!

heck, it's the repukes would do! :-)

[Must_B_Free]

9. So you make an MP3

then take the money, then let the MP3 loose

[Liberal_Minded]

10. They will be leaked

We will see them one day

[goclark]

11. $ 4 million ? ROTFL

For me to give up those tapes for less than $100 million to the Big Bad "O"is a laugh!

If she really has the goods, every Democrat in the nation would donate to the " ReillyGate Fund" just so we can hear and smear him.

[StClone]

12. Be reasonable

This is a man's good name we are besmirching here. He is innocent until proven guilty. He is a good man!

{SARCASM)

[goclark]

14. No, I want to hear them over and over and over and over and

over again!

I want to spend the same amount of hours listening to them as I had to listen to Monica's silly voice.

Remember how we had to listen to Linda talking to Monica?!:silly:

[goodwalt]

41. Great ring tone

to put on my cell phone. Then every time I got a call, I could roll my eyes and say "It's O'reilly again!"

[OneTwentyoNine]

58. No kidding,what a joke....

Hell,I'd bet Stern or AA themselves would pay that much and plenty more just to have the tapes in their possesion.

I WANT those tapes played OVER AND OVER AND OVER just like the flaming RW did with Clinton and Lewinski tapes.

David

[JVS]

13. No way! Those tapes are part of our precious cultural heritage

It would be like burning the Magna Carta

[GRLMGC]

65. I agree

The people have a right to know!

[AlFrankenFan]

15. No, don't destroy them!

Don't take the $4 million!

[Neshanic]

16. 4 mil? Sure you loofah lovin' tropical heat sex monkey you.

What a huge amount of cash. Sleezy AND cheap is no way to go through life. Think higher....much higher.

[crickets]

17. I don't think she should settle

It's up to Andrea, of course. But he really should be tried, and if guilty, punished. Paying money to avoid the public embarrassment and potential damage to his career lets him off the hook in a way, and sets a bad example to all of the other scum out there who pull this crap.

I don't really want to hear the tapes :puke: but it would be a shame to deprive all of the people who do. :evilgrin:

[tinanator]

18. how about a 4.2 million dollar art exhibit funded by the NEA?

We could have a multimedia piece with audio of O'reillys heavy breathing against video of his various TV escapades and still photos of Dr Laura and empty Oxycontin bottles from Rush.

[Quadrajet]

43. OMG that is SUCH a great idea!!!

"We could have a multimedia piece with audio of O'reillys heavy breathing against video of his various TV escapades and still photos of Dr Laura and empty Oxycontin bottles from Rush.


Awesome, Awesome idea!!

[sweetheart]

19. simple, let Linda Tripp safeguard them

Then we'll all know they'll never see the light of day.

[kysrsoze]

20. I think she could get much more by airing the tapes in court

That way, she does better and we all get to hear them.

[walldude]

21. Agreed

She could get the settlement, then book deals, movie rights. If she takes the payoff she'll have to shut up forever. Then O'Lielly will smear the hell out of her and say she really was extorting him all along... If she has the tapes she can't lose in court so I'm praying she takes this all the way...

[dddem]

49. I agree

He'll find some way to twist this and make himself the "poor victim". She needs to play this out so that no one will doubt her claims. Personally, although the money would be nice, if I were her I would want to make sure that I was never accused of trying to besmirch someone's reputation over money. It seems cheap. And that's his territory.

[TankLV]

62. Yep - and he WILL claim it was all l lies and slander with no proof!

He will lie and claim that it all never happened.

Don't let him get away with it - he's toast - this is a desperate ploy to avoid justice.

[Samantha]

22. Maybe she could sell the movie rights to her story and the audio

to CBS for 10 million. The movie could air on Sunday night right after 60 minutes. The role of the judge in the movie could be a cameo by Dan Rather. Produced by Rob Reiner. Screenplay by Michael Moore...and starring as O'Reilly ... Al Franken.

[goclark]

54. Now that is a cool idea!

[jayctravis]

23. Whoa! Waitaminnit!

I though Mr O said that the allegations were untrue and he "didn't recall" doing this???

[helnwhls]

28. check the posts, he admitted they exsisted

he admitted the transcripts on smoking gun were acurate.

[DeepModem Mom]

24. kick

[DemWitch]

25. Apparently this conspiracy launched by left wing bomb throwers

to defame and degrade O'Reilly, had the audacity to actually have proof of the lies being spread about him. Remember when he was going to fight this, he wouldn't back down, he was going to go all the way... Very easy to say when you don't have a clue about someone actually having proof of your misdeeds. So now not only is O'Reilly a pervert, but he's a liar and a sellout.

And it won't make onw bit of difference to any of his O'Liellyites...

[Skittles]

26. it's affecting him

I heard him on the radio and that arrogant, condescending blowhard voice was gone - he sounded subdued. Beaten.

[NightOwwl]

29. Sounds intriguing.

I'll have to tune in on Monday.

[DemBones DemBones]

30. OK, I want gossip! From what I read at thesmokinggun, O'Really's

wife was pregnant at some point in the recent past while he was making all these overtures to Mackris. Is he married to a much younger woman? Is it a second marriage? And is there any talk of her reaction to all this? I'm wondering if he's going to get slapped with a divorce action, too. No doubt he's begging her to look at Hillary Clinton as an example of a forgiving wife!

:evilgrin:

[bleedingheart]

39. O'Reilly is married to a younger woman and both kids are under 10

so this makes him look like an even bigger jerk...

[SOS]

61. O'Vibey

boasted of scoring with "hot Italian women" while on a visit to the Vatican.
At the time his wife was home on Long Island....pregnant.

[sadiesworld]

31. Four million to open?

Oh, he's gonna PAY.

[Hotler]

32. He should be tried.

He should have to face public embarrassment and career damage. After all, to quote Dick Cheney "it's our due".

[Tim4319]

33. Don't settle! Don't settle!

Take Mister "High and Mighty" to the cleaners, both his bank account and reputation! He is a Hypocrite!

[Dem2theMax]

34. Al Franken has to be the one to come up with the money to buy the tapes.

O'Liely would die. Just die, if they got into Al's hands.

Keith was SO funny tonight/last night. Friday night. There. lol.
He was practically begging 'don't destroy the tapes. They are history! At least keep the part about the loofah and the falafel.'

Wadda ya know. Spell check has 'loofah' and 'falafel' in it. lmao!

[GoSolar]

53. Yep.

Al should have them. It's only fair (& balanced).

[slater71]

35. So that makes him no better than Micheal Jackson.

[goddess40]

38. Destroy the tape and it will be spin city - "it never happened"

O'Lielly will deny it ever happened. Just like bush and the missing papers from his AWOL day - no physical proof means it didn't happen.

[LibDemAlways]

40. I think a new tape should be put together.

Horny O'Reilly talking dirty and getting aroused followed by his sanctimonious on-air self-righteousness - especially anti-Clinton posturing - followed by more phone sex. Another naked emperor exposed.

[Soth]

42. I wanna hear a rump-shakin' mixtape!

You know, throw down some electronic grooves, put some of the best sayings from O'Reilly overtop of it, make a hoppin' dance track.

Hell, you could make a whole album!

It could be called "The Disc Spin Zone."

[The Doctor.]

44. OH HELL NO!!!

These fuckin' (pardon my english) Hypocrites need to pay dearly for being the very scumbags they denounce as "unsavory people".
They need to be grouped in with those they reviled and disparaged for hating more about themselves than they did about others...


If no one puts together a fund to buy the tapes...I will!

[0007]

50. Thumbs up Doctor

[DoYouEverWonder]

51. I don't think 4.1 mil is going to come close to settling this dispute

According to this report, Morelli won't settle for anything less than $60 mil. Looks like O'Liely has a way to go yet.



Green told the Daily News that Mackris actually first sought $600 million, not the widely reported $60 million.

He said that at one of the meetings, Morelli showed the Fox/News Corp. in-house lawyers a draft of a six-count complaint, with each count seeking $100 million.

At one point, Green continued, Morelli said his client would be willing to accept "10 cents on the dollar, but nothing less." The Fox attorney also quoted Morelli as warning that "time was of the essence."

[gordianot]

52. Yes they are worth at least 10 times that much.

Let the bidding begin. Maybe they could put them on Ebay?

[The Doctor.]

66. I think she should auction them ...

through every venue possible...

[Fla Dem]

55. Latest update from NY Daily News.....10/24/04

How covers came off O'Reilly scandal

On Sept. 29, a messenger hand delivered a six-paragraph letter to the office of Peter Chernin, president and chief operating officer of News Corp., the parent company of Fox News.

<snip>
http://nydailynews.com/front/story/245389p-210221c.html


Settlement talks

Early last week, the salvos continued. The Mackris side filed additional claims of harassment. With any tapes still under wraps, O'Reilly remains on the air. But the former school teacher has cancelled several media appearances to promote his new advice book, "The O'Reilly Factor for Kids."

The book contains a chapter on sex: "Here's a big word for today: dehumanization. ... Guys, if you exploit a girl, it will come back to get you. That's called 'karma.' "

By week's end the vicious chatter had suddenly abated; sources confirmed Friday that settlement talks had convened.

The motive for Fox and O'Reilly to settle was obvious - the last thing the network needed was for its cable competitors to repeatedly play audiotapes of its now tarnished star talking dirty with a female subordinate.

60. How "covers came off"??!

The book contains a chapter on sex: "Here's a big word for today: dehumanization. ... Guys, if you exploit a girl, it will come back to get you. That's called 'karma.' "

BWAHAH!!!!

I like the dance mix concept...maybe do a Time-Life style compilation to advertise on Faux late night, with a 1-800 number..."order now and receive as a free bonus this 12-inch vibrator, batteries included..."

[against all enemies]

56. On Howard Stern they always have a vibrator noise in the background.

Will any show on TV have the balls to have the same thing buzzing in the background when doing the o'Reilly story? Wouldn't that be great?

[OneTwentyoNine]

57. FOUR MILLION??--LOL,she could get TEN times that much....

Not from O'Reilly and FOX but from everyone else. Newspapers,scandal rag magazines,Network TV,Network Radio.

Look,everyone but O'Reilly's sheep HATE his GD guts. His moral spouting,Clinton hating BS,bullying tactics make Billy boy one hated SOB.

Please don't sell out to him and FOX!!!


David

[joe1991]

59. Who's Loofing out for you?

...sorry couldn't resist :-)

[ismnotwasm]

63. Oh, I hope she doesn't settle

I feel for his wife and kids, though. But the man so obviously has something WRONG with him, and I'm not talking about phone sex, or even sexually harassing a subordinate. Those things seem to be part of a larger disorder. His maniacal ravings, his complete disregard for the truth, his public knee-jerk reactions, jeez the man is loony. His wife should take the kids and get out of there.

[Blue_Tires]

64. i want the tapes to be spread far and wide

like that starr report....hell, you could even sell the tapes commercially and make $50 mil many times over!

[ThoughtCriminal]

67. So Bill's position is

The charges are false, but he'll pay $4 million to make sure no one can prove it.
