SEXUAL CONDUCT: DOUBLE STANDARDS

Bill O'Reilly was just fired from FOX NEWS under allegations of sexual misconduct.  From what I've heard on the networks, I didn't hear anything so pernicious that it would give rise to termination of employment.  There were certainly remarks made by him that were distasteful, but not crude or overtly suggestive in my opinion.

Yet, the media and those on the ever blue-nosed left caused a huge ruckus over the allegations.  Indeed, advertisers left his show in droves, signalling to the vacillating FOX NEWS management that they'd better damned-well make a change. 

Where were all of these goody-two-shoes when Bill Clinton... then President of the United States Bill Clinton... was dallying around with a young intern on the Oval Office carpet?  Remember the daily tidbits of information that used to slither out of the White House about a President who swore under oath that he did not... did not, mind you... have sexual relations with that woman?  Remember how the same left-wing media and political elitists defended Clinton on the basis that his private sex life was none of America's business? Plainly speaking, Clinton somehow actually got admired in the process. 

On the other hand, I've heard no allegations that O'Reilly, who was not the president, actually sacked anybody.  I've heard no woman claim that he forced himself upon her, but I did hear from several women who alleged that Clinton forced himself on them.  

So, why do we tolerate the double standard?

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
