Post a Comment*This stinks. Who gets the $5000?
Sharon:
You should really be ashamed of you completely biased reporting of this race.
It just continues to be over the top. Do you have any explanation?
Nice job enquirer editorial staff! Pick the guy with no experience for your endorsement. You know what they say.."Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach write law books."
Justice. O'Reilly's ads were as scummy as they could be. He deserves the fine for such unethical, disgusting behaviour.
I actually believe that O'Reilly's dishonest attack ad actually hurt him. It left viewers with a horrible taste in their mouths with regards to him. Whoever came up with that did O'Reilly no favors.
A measly $5,000 for running a sham of a campaign. It's not quite good enough. Not at all.
I was hoping his license to practice law would be suspended, if not completely revoked. O'Reilly knew full good & well what he put in the campaign ads was way far of the truth.
Hopefully, this clown will be booted off UC's Law School staff. Should be easy, as he's a mere visiting professor.
Goodbye & good riddance. I hope I never, ever see a smear campaign like this ever again.

I reply:
Well, just wait to see the next Republican Primary in '08. I'm sure the COAST cronies will be running smear campaigns against plenty of folks.

Know that O'Reilly financed his own campaign so he is out far more than just $5K. I haven't seen the reports but I've heard he ended up spending around $300K.
And for those of you who are so critical of O'Reilly's adds know that they were in the same spirit as the NRCC attacks on Cranley and Wulsin. O'Reilly was guilty of misrepresenting Dinkelaker's views but only in the same way that Cranley was accused of supporting tazing nine year old girls or Marc Dann supported child molesters.
I'm not saying that the O'Reilly adds were appropriate, but they were no worse than the material used by Montgomermy, Raussen, Chabot, Schmidt...
But O'Reilly is a Dem so one would hope he wouldn't use the same sleazy approach to ads as the Repugs. I agree, his punishment should be a larger fine and disbarment. If he was stupid enough to spend 300 K on a judicial campaign then I'm not feeling sorry for him to get a 5K fine. Korte always calculates cost per vote so let's see one of the Enquirer's crack reporters calculate the cost per vote for O'Reilly. Yes that ad did hurt him- it cost him the vote of this Dem and many others I knew. Anon- how is this post biased? This ran in the paper today and is an accurate reporting of the facts.
Let's see. Spend $250,000 of your own money, get fined $5000,lose the race by a 2-1 margin and then chide the voters in your "concession" speech for not voting for you.
Way to go Professor. What are you going to do for an encore?
