Up is down! Black is white! Bill O'Reilly speaks at fundraisers for rape survivors!
Oh, wait.
O'Reilly is going to be speaking at a fundraiser for the Alexia Foundation, which is a group founded to offer support to rape survivors in the hopes that more people will go through with prosecuting their attackers. Did somebody tell the person who invited him what he thinks of people who get raped?

On the Upcoming Events page, it talks about O'Reilly and his numerous acheivements: /p>
Oh man, Limbaugh's going to be pissed off when he finds out. He just said that he wanted to pander to women, and then Bill goes and does this!
(Placed in the "sexual assault" category for lack of a "you're doing it wrong" one.)

Why are there pigs flying by my window?
Perhaps this heralds a new, more sensitive era for the no-spin zone?
How can O'Reilly look himself in the mirror every morning after saying such horrible horrible things about a woman who was brutally raped and murdered? It makes me sick to my stomach.
If there is a hell, I hope he rots in it for the rest of eternity, the hypocritical, conservative bastard.
The hypocrisy of Bill O'Reilly is truly amazing. This organization is an excellent resource for victims of sexual assault. They do themselves a disservice to women by inviting this misogynist to speak. In addition to the comment about Jennifer Moore, O'Reilly also stated that Shawn Hornbeck, who was kidnapped and raped, enjoyed his captivity. O'Reilly has not apologized for either statement. It is an insult to victims and their families for Bill O'Reilly to speak on their behalf. Please see the threads that Alex and I posted on News Hounds regarding this matter. Included in the initial thread is information regarding contacting the Foundation.
