Haven't seen Trump bowl, wear jeans, ride a bike, or throw anything but a tantrum. I can't wait to see the 70 year old fat man who never exercises and has never actually thrown anything throw a pitch. And the excuses that flow after.

That comment, by the way, links to another thread, **O'Reilly Fracture Spins "Hate Site" Free Republic (Kristinn Taylor on O'Reilly 7-31-07)** which contains a link to a Youtube video of Bill O'Reilly reading some Freep comments and calling them vile and that they have some "pretty sick people posting." Youtube video where Bill O'Reilly talks about Freep. The commentary is probably added by a Freeper who's pointing out what Bill is doing is messed up (though of course they wouldn't care if he did it to a liberal).

So that's pretty fun.

Here's a great comment. No, see, I'm not paranoid for thinking women are just waiting to make false sexual harassment accusations about me, they're the paranoid ones!

quote:

I’ve got a dumb question ...

Do any — and I mean any — of these harassment allegations have any facts behind them?

Or are these just more instances of “he said, she said.”

Someone set me straight on this.

Bill O’Reilly has never meant much to me one way or the other.

But “scandals” like these make me so happy I’m retired. It appears to me that vengeful women can just make up stories out of whole cloth — and “she said” will be taken as gospel.

I’m just glad I don’t have to work with younger women and their strange, paranoid attitudes.

Remember that Beck was a huge Ted Cruz supporter throughout the campaign and I think he was either bitter or maybe had a huge blow to his self-esteem when his listeners went "Cruz is an establishment cuck, MAGA!" instead of supporting the True Conservative. That's when he started saying sort of reasonable things, to try and trick liberals into thinking he was a moderate guy.

I'm not sure what he thought his end goal was. If Hillary won, he couldn't keep going as a moderate I don't think, and of course with Trump winning he had no choice but to shift into "Trump is actually great and I was wrong the whole time!"
