For a while there, Glenn Beck was staging a serious coup d'etat for the coveted position of Craziest Bastard on FOX News Channel.
But O'Reilly has gone all out to reclaim his gigantic splotchy crown of crazy.
As ThinkProgress documents, O'Reilly has a thing about pegging certain rapes as "she was asking for it" situations. For instance:
She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning.
Fuck you, O'Reilly.
But it gets worse. When it was announced that O'Reilly would be speaking at the Alexa Foundation, Amanda Terkel from ThinkProgress merely reported what O'Reilly had said. And so O'Reilly dispatched his creepy stalker guy who accosted Terkel. While she was on vacation. Tailing her from her home all the way to Winchester, Virginia and asking her why she was insulting rape victims and insisting that she apologize to rape victims. So basically:
●O'Reilly blames rape victim for being raped
●Terkel calls him on this
●O'Reilly stalks Terkel and accuses her of being insensitive to rape victims
Is that about right?
Okay, Beck. It's your move. But the bar is really, really high.
