O'Reilly's a nutcase. I thought his comments on Shawn Hornbeck were nothing short of sick.

Well, whatever you think of Oreilly..

It sure seems like he never made any attempt to return home...
I mean the kid is 16yrs old now...

Only time will tell, I guess..

[Bubbalicious]

He was 11 years old when he was taken away. You've heard of Stockholm Syndrome, right?

Yeah, and?

I said only time will tell..

If Keith Olberman had said the same things O'Reilly had said, you'd be a big ol' ball of seething rage about it.

If Keith Olbermann had said the same things Oreilly had said, you'd be a big ol' ball of seething rage about it.

I don't give a shit who said it...I have to admit I wondered the same thing...So?

Why don't you just admit why you posted this...

Not that you care about the kid....Just so you can slam Oreilly..

Whatever..

I don't worship either Olbermann or Oreilly....

AS I SAID........TIME WILL TELL

Now go sit in a corner

[Bubbalicious]

Who cares about my intentions for posting it. It's a current event, it also has to do with the mainstream media.
I can post it for whatever reason I damn well please.
Now go suck your thumb.

Hey, Steffie. We all have different reasons for posting stuff. I'm pretty sure that at least some of your threads are intended only to bash dems. So what?

And besides... O'Reilly is an idiot and deserves it.

I think they're both blowhards with almost no intellectual substance. Then again, that wouldn't be very entertaining for the masses, I suppose.

So you're saying you weren't aware of who you were supposed to live with/who your parents were by the time you were 11 years old?

I find that hard to believe.

There's more to this story than meets the eye, and I don't need Bill O'Reilly to point that out.

I was also very gullible and iimpressionable when I was 11.
What did you think of the Elizabeth Smart situation? She was older than this kid. Did you think she stayed with her captors willingly? Got something out of it?

Very true, Jilly..
In fact a lot of my post are posted just to bash the Dems...
I don't care if he slams Oreilly..
I don't care if he slams his head into a wall...

He still needs to go sit in a corner....

I like Bubbles and I think you'll find "he" is a "she".

I didn't say I think Horbeck "got something out of it." I don't think anything yet except that I wouldn't stay against my will from age 11 to 16. I'll wait until I hear the story from both sides before coming to a conclusion.
