This is one campaign the infamous, deplorable Olbermann should not be permitted to win. (One can only imagine why Olbermann would be invested in discrediting the fight for tougher laws against child rape.) That’s why they’ve launched a drive to get O’Reilly disinvited to the Alexa event–an event he promoted again tonight on The Factor. And there are people who don’t like that. The reason why O’Reilly is a target is because he fought for, and in many cases succeeded, in getting tough child rape laws passed in most of the US. If someone were to take “Man on Fan” Olbermann seriously and recommend to women that they do nothing to avoid putting themselves in risky situations, what exactly would that accomplish for rape prevention? Um, it would make things worse. For Oralmann and his sick buddies to try to make this into blaming the victim is typical of his diseased envy. That’s just painting a target on yourself. There isn’t one that I know of that would recommend that a woman go walking by herself under the influence in provocative dress at 2:00 am in a remote sparsely populated area. I have prosecuted child abusers, rapists…as I liked to say: “Rape, robbery, murder…I’ve tried ’em all.” And I also know very well what rape prevention centers and programs tell women. Update 3: I can verify that Ellen did post that comment on Johnny Dollar’s Place… Update 2: Round three or four happened tonight. If you find this choice of Bill O’Reilly as outrageous as I do, I strongly encourage yout to e-mail the Alexa Foundation at Or the Executive Director directly at This is simply unacceptable. It is upsetting because this is the only organization of its kind, but I hesitate to support a group that obviously only cares about the money it is bringing in and not its message. Apparently one of the members of its advisory board is a FRIEND of O’Reilly. I don’t feel as if it would be productive.” ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? This defiance is grossly upsetting. I am not even more livid, because the Executive Director Ellen Augello issued a short public statement about the uproar: “Bill O’Reilly is still speaking at the fundraiser. Update: This may be part of what Augello is referring to about the flak the Alexa Foundation is getting… I will keep following up on this and hopefully will be able to hear from Ms. So, while it could still be a fake out, it doesn’t seem likely. Also the comment’s IP trace went back to the correct location. Dollar says that someone had talked to her and, while not 100% proof positive, both were convinced it was her. Augello regarding this and I tried repeatedly to reach her by phone but I probably called too late in the day (three hour time difference) as I kept getting the Alexa Foundation’s answering machine. You don’t normally see people like that post these types of comments and the use of the “KO” abbreviation was a read flag, so naturally I was suspicious. So I ask you, who are these zealots truly hurting? Almost all of the funding coming into the Foundation goes directly to the victims we serve. Although we are a national foundation, we are staffed by one full-time employee and one part-time employee, both of whom are quite modestly paid. Instead of receiving support from groups who believe themselves to be progressive and enlightened, we have been besieged by KO followers who, for whatever misguided reason, feel as though it is their duty to tell everyone they come into contact with not to support us. The fact that he has agreed to do so at no cost, so that all of the proceeds of the event can be used for the victims we serve, is very generous. O’Reilly’s stature offer to speak at our event. We of course were thrilled to have someone of Mr. I wanted to thank you for offering your support to our cause. I am the Executive Director for the “It Happened to Alexa Foundation”. Well this morning, someone claiming to be Ellen Augello, the Executive Director of the It happened to Alexa Foundation, posted a comment on Johnny Dollar’s Place regarding what Olbermann was doing… This incident has made the last two WPiTW segments. Olbermann has been going after O’Reilly’s participation with the Alexa Foundation pretty strongly. Olbermann has been bringing up the Jennifer Moore incident something Olbermann has brought up before. If you’ve been following Countdown the past few days, you’ll know that Keith Olbermann has been on a tear over Bill O’Reilly speaking at the “It happened to Alexa Foundation” fundraiser.
