Lurking Deplorables- We got Ailes' and O'Reilly's scalp. Sean Hannity's scalp is next.

Sean Hannity the Latest Fox News Host to be Accused of Sexual Harassment

Tulsa, OK - Columnist, attorney, and former Fox News contributor Debbie Schlussel appeared on today’s Pat Campbell Show and accused Fox News Prime Time Host Sean Hannity of the same type of behavior that lead to Bill O’Reilly leaving the beleaguered network earlier this week.

Among the allegations, Schlussel claims that while at an appearance in Detroit which they both attended, Hannity invited her back to his hotel room.

Schlussel says that after she turned down his advances, she was not invited back on his program.

“This kind of stuff is all over the place at Fox News and anything that has to do with Sean Hannity,” Schlussel said.

Now sexual harassment charges will push poor little Hannity over the edge.

Isn't she that rabid anti-Islam, extreme RW nut job? Her devoted readers won't know what to think!

She's one of the most hateful political writers I've ever read.

Cenk at Young Turks must be laughing his ass off. She's frequently lambasted by him.

not silencing opposition commentators.

I am not defending the obnoxious sexist drooling-old-man behavior of Ailes and O'Reilly. We are all glad to see them go; but crowing about Ailes and O'Reilly feeds the right-wing stereotype of progressives as free speech suppressors, which is damaging to our reputation. Witness the recent Ann Coulter/Milo Y mess in California.

And they were able to get away with it for the longest time because they have the Magic R next to their name. And they have a first amendment right to say what they want to say. I have no problem with the O'Reilly Factor being on the air. I just choose to ignore it. But when they shoot themselves in the foot over sexual harassment, and pedophilia avocation, then that's when we break out the popcorn.

So infrequent are the times I've heard his voice that I'd be hard-pressed to pick it out of a line-up. Don't know if he's married, divorced, or if he blathers incessantly about 'family values.' Regardless, the behavior described is inexcusable and I hope he gets his comeuppance.
