Tulsa, OK - Columnist, attorney, and former Fox News contributor Debbie Schlussel appeared on todays Pat Campbell Show and accused Fox News Prime Time Host Sean Hannity of the same type of behavior that lead to Bill OReilly 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.

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.

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.

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.

(25,908 posts)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.
