Glad to hear it
Sexual harrasment is just so wrong
In my company it is taken very seriously.
Mandatory 30 min training every year.
The rules are made crystal clear to us.


I wonder if you were in favor of impeachment if Bill Clinton then? Or are you in favor now after all the trainings but did not realize then?

Bill O'Reilly is not about to get fired because he lied under oath.

Well let me rephrase. Should Bill Clinton have been removed for sexual harassment?

I never voted for Bill
Both Bill's disgust me
Sexual harrassment is wrong regardless of party
Bill Clinton lied to the American people
Trump lies to the American people

I thought Clinton was impeached for winning the 92 election.

Who mentioned Trump?

Are you then agreeing Bill Clinton was guilty of sexual harassment? Your answer is just a bunch if word soup.

Both are guilty of sexual harrassment
Bill C is old news
Bill O is the news
How about discussing the present?
Should Bill O be fired?
Why deflect to the past?

Weird, Its BillO in the news, thats the prrsent discussion but AZ wants to go back decades. How about discussing the present.

OK, fine. I am skeptical whenever a bunch of women all of the sudden pile on with sexual harassment claims. Bill O has been doing "The Factor" nearly 20 years and did other TV back to the mid-1980s at least. Now all of a sudden there is a problem?

I have had to investigate sexual harassment claims, mostly just behavior. Also my replacement at a branch got himself in the suit. In the former it was a case of misunderstanding and the women were scared to death when they realized what they started could get the guy fired. I totally saved his ass because my boss was ready to just clip him. I was like Mr. Niel fighting to save Gotti's life.

The other manager, the reaction of everyone was, "what took so long!" He was a known suspect for years, and it finally caught up with him. But when it did, no other complaints came out, just the one.

So, having seen it, my reaction is it is at least several of the women doing a shakedown.

It's not all of a sudden.

It's happened over years and years. Remember the falafel/loofah incident years back?

Fox/BillO have paid out over $13 million to make these various claims go away.

Advertisers are now fleeing in droves since that $13 million figure had become public recently. Fox is finally about to pull the plug.

NYMag is reporting that BillO is officially out at Fox News.

No comment from Fox yet though.
