Seriously Limbaugh, you better watch your ass. We know that Bill O' was playing nice last night on Letterman, but look at the guy. That's totally a front.
OK, we’d heard that if Bill and his people want to talk to you they will find you where you lay and ambush you with a video camera and microphone on your very worst hair day. But we didn’t know they’d get you on vacation.
Amanda Terkel, managing editor of ThinkProgress.org, was in the middle of a relaxing weekend getaway when a pair of O’Reilly’s producers bum-rushed her on the street. Without identifying themselves, the two demanded to know why Terkel was “causing ‘pain and suffering’ to the Alexa Foundation and rape victims.” Apparently, the producers were referencing a post in which Terkel noted that O’Reilly was slated to speak at a benefit for the Alexa Foundation (a charity created to support rape victims and their families) despite controversial 2006 comments about Jennifer Moore, in which O’Reilly intimated that 5 foot 2 Jennifer Moore was partially responsible for her own rape and murder because she was petite, young, and dressed provocatively.
A confused Terkel stammered her way through the producer’s questions and demands. In hindsight, though, (after the sting of looking a little ishe’s kind of pissed. She says that she believes “O’Reilly’s ambushes are about harassment and intimidation.” Her experience with the O’Reilly Factor certainly seems shady at best:
How did O’Reilly’s producers find me? My friend recalled seeing a tan SUV following us almost the entire time from Washington; that same vehicle then parked outside our lodging. I can only imagine that O’Reilly’s crew found my home address, staked out my apartment building, followed me for two hours, and then ambushed me.
[ . . .]
For many people, what made my case especially disturbing is that O’Reilly was trying to show his viewers that he was sympathetic to women who have been victims of a crime—and then he decided to send his producers to stalk and harass a 5-foot-tall, 100-pound young woman.
Honestly, those guys are lucky they didn’t get maced. Note to O’Reilly producers: We don’t like our vacation hair caught on camera and we take kickboxing occasionally. So, do with that info what you will.
