1. Good! I hope that goes for any future engagement with them, too.

Man's a rotter thru and thru.

[originalpckelly]

3. I know, O'Really has finally suffered a consequence for his actions.

[malaise]

2. What a delish

public smack down :applause: :applause:

[etherealtruth]

4. Very good!

Why they didn't initiate this themselves in unfathomable

[havocmom]

5. Bill-O will be double pissed at KO

:evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

6. I wonder if he will be on his show tonight...

or if he'll chicken-out. I'll check his website :puke:

[havocmom]

17. Spare yourself - let KO's staff do the research

Bill-O will just claim HE has other obligations. He would never admitt he was rejected.

[cboy4]

7. He is a disgrace. I hope what he said about those innocent

children haunt him for the rest of his pathetic career.

I loved listening to Catherine Crier. You can tell she's just disgusted by him.

Then again, who isn't?

[dflprincess]

8. I'll bet those "comments and emails" included a lot of people

withdrawing their support from the event and maybe even the organization itself.

I couldn't understand why they didn't cancel Billo the day after he made those horrid remarks.

[druidity33]

36. horrid remarks?

I must've missed this... what did he say? About whom? and When?

[SmokingJacket]

39. He said he thought that kid who was recently rescued from the

kidnapper pedophile probably stayed with the guy because it was fun, and because there were not as many rules as at home.

:puke:

[druidity33]

43. yikes...

He really is the worst person in the world!

[Orangepeel]

40. remember those two kids that were kidnapped recently? One held for years, the other days?

(I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's all the detail I can remember)

Anyway, O'Reilly said that he didn't believe in Stockholm Syndrome and if the kid who was held for years didn't escape, it had to be because he was enjoying it and didn't want to go to school.

[UTUSN]

9. K&R for the O'LOOFAH big meltdown today and tonight!!1 n/t

[originalpckelly]

13. He's not talking about it on his show:

[walldude]

10. This is good news...

They would have strained their credibility had they let him speak. Good for them. I bet Billo is pissed. :rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

11. LOL!

Now O'Reilly will whine about that tonight on his show.

[Clark2008]

12. John Walsh SHOULD be the keynote speaker.

Even before making the stupid, insensitive and incorrect comments about Sean, O'Reilly had NO background in child abduction or the law or ANYTHING that had to do with missing children. He's a fucking PUNDIT!

Why was he the keynote speaker in the first place?

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. My thoughts exactly!

[TlalocW]

26. Because for the most part

He talks tough about child abuse and likes to go after people he deems too lax in pursuing child abusers, etc. But once again just like every republican blowhard, he couldn't even keep up such a simple facade and revealed himself to be the hypocrite he is on the issue.

27. post 18 down thread is a good place to start-take a look at NCMEC's

Board Of Directors. Mr. Foley was the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children Chairman and there are some people on that NCMEC Board that have disturbing political and criminal histories

[Ishoutandscream2]

14. On tonight's O'Reilly

Bill goes for the boycott of The National Center for Missing Kids.

[NI4NI]

23. Has he ever mentioned his now canceled appearance on air?

I don't watch the germ, but my quess is he must of bragged about it before today.

[libodem]

15. now if the Nobel Peace Prize nomination is

withdrawn from Club Gitmo Gear's creator my life will be complete. To blame a child for adapting to hideous circumstances for survival is beyond the pale. O'Liely is the type to blame the female Iraq refugees who have turned to prostitution to survive in Syria as enjoying life beyond the burqua. Whata third rate looser.

[Kixel]

16. Thank You!

It's one thing when the nutjob goes on and on about people who place themselves in the public eye. When the poor kid went through what he went through-well, let's just say I think he should be faced with more than just getting booted from a charity event.

[AlCzervik]

19. Good work!!

[NI4NI]

20. It is verified on the NCMEC website!

Once again, Bellow Rielly's actual slanderous statements and allegations are the victim of the far left smear sites and networks BWAHAHAHAHA! I wonder if Dild O' will call the Florida NCMEC branch a bunch of gutless cowards for cancelling the Culture Wart himself.
THIS IS A NATIONAL EMBARRASMENT

[babsbunny]

21. YAY!

[enki23]

22. why in hell would they have had a controversial, ultra-partisan asshole in the first place?

the people who invited him as speaker should resign in shame. period. and that would be true even if he *hadn't* made comments about that missing kid enjoying his rapist's company.

[MoonRiver]

25. Wonderful news!

Wasn't Mark Foley associated in a big way with this organization?

They have done wonderful things to help children, but Center for Missing and Exploited Children needs to become more discriminating about who they allow to be spokespersons for them.

[City Lights]

28. Woo-hoo! I'm glad my email helped make a difference!

Thanks to all who took the time to drop them a note! :woohoo:

[Bluestar]

29. Big Score for KO! Whoopee! n/t

[ClayZ]

37. Whooopeee from here for KO too!

HOOOOOOT!!!!:kick:

[Arugula Latte]

30. Hey -- O'Lielly: Did you enjoy THAT? I'll bet you did! n/t

[WolverineDG]

31. This morning, however, the story was different

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2007/feb/01/oreillys_comment_not_factor_fundraiser/?local_news

I wonder what made the Falafel-lovers at NCMEC **really** change their minds?

dg

[AlCzervik]

32. thats from Feb. 1st.

[symbolman]

33. YES!!

BUT, and here's a BIG BUT.. Isn't there a VIDEO on YouTube of John Walsh talking to Foley and saying how HE'S THE GREATEST?

I swear I saw that Video during the Foley Scandal, and I'm pretty damned sure it was John Walsh.. if he's that Clueless, it's nearly as bad..

Anyone know of that Video or have a link?

I was On O'Reilly's show once, went head to head with him, and I'm MORE Glad than SOME :)

Thanks to ALL OF THOSE WHO WROTE! And to KO for kicking ORALLY'S ASS :)

[sellitman]

34. Does OLielly blame his own problems on his Loofah?

The Loofah did it!!!!!!!

[cui bono]

35. They had to get "numerous e-mails and inquiries" to decide this??????? nt

[jgraz]

38. Now if we can only get him to stop speaking on The O'Reilly Factor...

[Chipper Chat]

41. It's "The O'Reilly Fucktor."

Nasty profanity is suitable for this mega-asshole.

[Hissyspit]

42. I'd like to think that DUers had something to do with it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=143437

[Beausoir]

44. What is this organization really about? They chose O'Reilly as their speaker?

What is their agenda?

I won't be supporting them anytime soon.

Idiots.
