        No. That was a completely different case involving a decision made by Judge Edward Cashman. Thomas Bartheld is an Oklahoma Judge. The comparison is aptly made though, because both of the cases I believe involved child rape cases.

        I think the most sickening thing is the way O'Reily sneaks in one more attempt at spitting on Doctor Tiller's grave. It is almost as if he is daring the family of Doctor Tiller to sue him.

          Isn't this about the guy who plea bargained even though there was no evidence at all that tied him to the crime? And why is the judge being blamed?-- it was the DA who made the deal.

            - Short Answer: Yes

            - Long Answer:

            What was in dispute was the five year old girl's ability to know the difference between a lie and the truth. A hearing was held with the victim and the accused in the same courtroom. Later, the hearing was moved privately into the Judge's chambers where they continued to qualify the girl as a witness while recording the session. Suddenly, the DA says they would not be proceeding to trial and were taking the offer from the attorneys of David Earl. One year, with nineteen years suspended.

            Read into that what you will... you will come to the same tragic conclusion in every scenario.

            Geraldo refered to the hearing as the "re-rape" of the child and accused the judge of traumatizing the victim in his courtroom.

      O'Reilly's sustained and reprehensible slander that he continues to dump on a man who was assassinated at church is one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed. This man is a vulture picking at Dr. Tiller's remains. What a sick, sick person.

      Are you freakin kidding me. That was low. I agree with what they were saying about the child-rapist and really, who couldn't, but to take that swipe at Dr. Tiller. Ugh...Did anyone else notice the look on Geraldo's face when BillO dropped Tiller's name?

        Me, for one. There was no evidence tying him to the crime and the child had no recollection of it. The guy plea bargained because his attorney told him he would never get a fair trial, because people go absolutely bananas nowadays over this kind of allegation.

      O'Reilly is on a quest to lie to himself enough that he will finally believe himself when he says he didn't have anything to do with Tiller's death. It's a coping mechanism, simple as that. Kind of like the right-wingers who are the most homophobic are also the ones with the most homosexual desires.

      If I knew any judges, I'd let them know about Fox's presumptuous attitude toward them as a group. To function well judges have to have a high level of confidence and even arrogance. I would think this publicly displayed false authority Fox is trying to intimidate them with would not sit well. Judges are wired up politically and can get local pols on the phone. And those local pols often have a lot of clout over the Congress as they very frequently have a lot to do with first getting those U.S. House Reps and U.S. Senators elected and then keeping them elected. And the judges often do favors for the pols, both federal and local. If those politicians started to pressure congressman to put the wood to Fox, I think they'd put their thinking caps on and figure something out.

          OK, this isn't even in the same ZIP code as a coherent thought, let alone the fact that apparently you think that Judge Sotomayor has made some racy comments and you seem to think she should be held accountable for the "raciest" of them all. Which one was that, precisely?

      O'Reilly cannot let go of the Tiller case because he is under attack from various people and organizations. I think that on a subconscious level his words may have contributed to the murder because of the frequency he is trying to justify his opinions. He thinks he can use his bully pulpit to shout down everyone who opposes him and that somehow makes him right. O'Reilly is self righteous, egotistical and obnoxious because that is what Fox News pays him to do on his show. Unfortunately, his speech using hate words do not change anyone's opinion but they do reinforce the opinions of people who agree with O'Reilly. If he was truly concerned for these fetuses or children, then O'Reilly would have shows that would discourage abortions. But that would not allow him to use the the television camera to gratify his narcissism.

      O'Reilly is now threatening this judge: "we're coming after you"!!!!. When will this channel be held responsible for their hate speech! If the family of Tiller or this judge would sue, with the help of the ACLU or someone, all this over-the-top rhetoric would quiet down.

      I think O'Reilly, in a backhanded way, is trying to justify his campaign of hate against Dr. Tiller. He is trying to subconsciously link Tiller and this case of child abuse so people can make a false connection between the two and say, "Hey, maybe that O'Reilly was right, Tiller abused children just the way this guy did." Sadly, it will probably work on his neanderthal audience. Although even more sadly, he doesn't even need to use the tactic with them.

      THANK YOU.

        I thought O'Lielly was saying that because "this Tiller guy" is willing to abort "children" he has devalued them..therefor Judges no longer value children either........Brilliant reasoning as usual.

      Once again, O'Lielly shows himself totally incapable of experiencing any sense of shame or responsability.

      As a result of the abusive environment that he grew up in... complete with a raging, relentlessly critical and alcoholic father, and a doting and anti-critical mother... he is hopelessly frozen in a protective cocoon of narcissism and over-the-top self absorption. He possesses an incomplete psyche, and is utterly unable to fathom... or to even hazily recognize, really... the feelings and sufferings of others. His internal universe is entirely composed of his own still throbbing emotional scars, and his own mindless, misdirected rage against all those who fail to humbly acquiesce to his self-presumed superiority. He is obsessed by the eternal and unvanquishable and ultimately Oedipal ghost of his father. His badly damaged and misshapen personality requires constant and total compensatory adulation from all.

      Oh, man, but do I pity his own children!

      Still, his ratings and his rather stupefying financial compensation serve to provide him with all the justification that warped personality requires.

      After YEARS of relentlessly and viciously smearing Dr Tiller, his sense of psychic self-preservation has been activated by Dr Tiller's predictable assassination. He knows instinctively that his chickens are likely to come home to roost. He knows that some will point out the undeniable correlation between his reckless... and false accusations against Dr Tiller, and the violent actions of another unstable personality when relentlessly provided a self-glorifying rationalization for murdering an Other.

      His sense of self pity and self indulgence is hitting operatic proportions at this point, as he compulsively continues in his verbal assaults on his victim. O'Lielly relentlessly continues to beat his breast and bellow out his bizarre justifications for his now murderous smears against his victim, as he now engages in symbolically urinating on Dr Tiller's still cooling corpse, almost like some sort of primordial ape-man exulting in its kill.

      I guess that my point, ultimately, is that O'Lielly is one sick f*kc.
