Fox News Contributor Blames Victim for Alleged Match.com Sexual Assault

» 112 comments

During a segment about a woman who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by a man she met on the dating website Match.com, O’Reilly Factor contributor Lis Wiehl made an unwise wisecrack Tuesday night. Noting that the assault occurred on a second date, she wondered aloud about the alleged victim, “Who goes out with a guy like that twice?”

The case involves a woman who is suing Match.com for failing to screen applicants for sex offenses, and seeking only to have them begin such a practice. The alleged assailant, Alan Paul Wurtzel, is awaiting trial later this month.

After detailing how easy it was to locate the man’s criminal history, Wiehl noted, “It was a second date. Who goes out with a guy like that twice?”

Host Bill O’Reilly, who has been criticized in the past for what some saw as insensitive comments about rape victims, immediately sprang to the woman’s defense, saying “That’s not fair. A lot of these people are really schizophrenic.”

Wiehl continued to blame the alleged victim, though, saying “She should have googled him, she should have taken the time.”

Factor contributor Kimberly Guilfoyle, though, was the voice of reason, noting that “She’s the victim, she was raped, he’s the criminal.”

Here’s the clip, from The O’Reilly Factor:

    I don’t know about a thousand words, but that picture of the guy was definitely saying a second date should have been out of the question, a first even.

    I gaurantee all those innocent individuals that plunk their money down with a sight like Match.com assume the screening process would surely look into past or present criminal, etc history of their potential dates…..rapists and or murderers. All of these ‘ for a fee sights ‘ must do this as a standard operating prceedure from now on, or close down shop. It’s the very least they can do.

    I don’t agree with that, but unfortunately, especially in this day and age everyone, man or woman, must always be vigilant about ( hightened awarenes ) because with these great inventions like internet dating, Craig’s list, etc it gives the crazies and just plain criminals a never ending stream of victims to prey upon.

    You are especially vulnerable when seeking mr. or ms. right. The first thing that should be on your mind ( your own safety ) is last in this situation.

    It’s too late for this poor woman, but hopefully this story will save someone else from suffering this same fate or worse.

    That was a dumb comment.

    I wonder if she was trying to say that because she had googled him, had the victim googled him, she would have known not to go out on a second date with him, but it came out poorly because of time…? Or it was just a poor, tasteless comment.

    But I do agree that people should do some ground work before meeting a stranger they met over the internet. Especially in light of the Craigs list murder stories. People have to be vigilant wrt their own safety.

  • Judge Mental

    Not to get too technical here, but there’s a doctrine followed in many states known as contributory or comparative negligence, which means that the victim’s own negligence (e.g., failing to take action that would have lessened her chances of being victimized) is taken into consideration in apportioning fault in a civil negligence action. You can’t just go around with your head in the sand hoping that everyone behaves virtuously.

    That gives no one the right to call them foolish or schizophrenic when something terrible happens to them imo.

  • ProudCanadian

    It’s always a risk to meet people online, but I really don’t think that it’s match.com’s responsibility to screen. Does it even say on their site that all the men are screened before their ad is put up? To be fair, this could happen with someone you meet in a supermarket, at the movies…or a tea party meeting (most likely).

    You love when she blames victims for getting raped, like most predators you attempt to justify predatory behavior in others. Don’t be alone with this one ladies.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Eric-Larson/1589499840 Eric Larson

    First off We should not blame the victim for the crime. The Man sexually assaulted her. I think saying “Who goes out on a second date with a guy like this” is a bit of a cold, uncaring statement.

    However this should be used as a teaching moment. She should say “Ladies, prevent yourself from being the next victim and do your own background check”

    I think some people when they blame the victim have a hard time putting themselves in the situation. They look at the event and think how they would have acted. Hindsight is always 20 20.

    But there is a teaching moment there. Yes the woman should not have to worry about being attacked BUT that is not the world we live in and there is evil out there so we need to be careful. But when something bad does happen we need to blame the evil and not the victim.

    If I go into a dangerous part of the city alone I should not have to worry about being attacked. I shoud be able to walk wherever i want without the fear of being attacked. AND if I am attacked the system should punish the attackers. However I should learn, as well as other people, not to go into unsafe parts of a city alone.

    But it’s human nature sometimes to just say “He or She should have known better”

    Not at all, I understand what she said was subtle and for Fox viewers that type of thing goes right over their heads. But as a woman you get used to hearing this sort of thing when it comes to sexual assault. Bill is guilty of it too and I am surprised he took the high road here, even he had a problem with what she said and Bill was the guy a few years ago that said Shawn Hornbeck ran away from home to live with his rapist and was having fun skipping school.

    Look you know its indefensible when even Bill objects. I suggest all of you stop defending what she said and admit it was a horrible thing to say about a woman who was raped. Really stop.

    Color me stupid lives in a world where there is no personal responsibility for anything. It is always 100% somebody elses fault no matter what. To put her way of thinking in perspective, picture a guy walking down the street in one of Detroit’s high crime ghettos with a shopping bag full of $100 bills spilling out the top.

    In her mind, after he get’s beaten to death and the money taken, she would say he played no part in his own demise, he had no personal responsibility to be careful, to think ahead, because in her world, everyone is supposed to be protected all the time from their own stupidity by the government or somebody whom you can sue.

    Making a common sense statement, or a common sense assessment is anathema to liberal ideology, as their is always somebody else to blame for everything.

    In the real world, a woman going home with a stranger from a bar carries with it some risk, as does meeting someone on line and meeting them. It’s not asking to get raped, it’s simply not being terribly bright.

    My interpretation is that O’Reilly is saying that the guy could be schizophrenic, which is why a first date may not give a clue to what may occur on a second or third.

    And, I haven’t really been following this story other than reading the headlines, but while I understand that it’s a good PR move for Match.com to start checking a database, I believe it’s an added that they may choose to offer, but not their responsibility.

    No one ran the old personal ads in your local alt-weekly or the new ones on Craigslist; No one is running the callers to the phone dating services; No one is checking criminal histories at the bar; Match.com can choose to do it and risk loosing a few false positives in exchange for the added sales pitch, but I don’t feel it’s their responsibility

    Lis Wiehl is second in command on President Clinton’s defense team during his impeachment trial.

    “I was the number-two person hired for the Democrats by the Judiciary Committee. I was hired by the Committee to represent them as they went through the referral, and then the impeachment hearings in front of the Committee and then later at the House level,” Wiehl said. “We were a very small team; there were only six lawyers total for the Democrats. The (Republican) majority had a lot more than the minority.”

    How could she not Google him and find out he murdered Natalee Holloway.

    Actually, it seems he killed her for doing just that. Which, it was still a really good idea, though letting him find out about it was not.

    The agrument is the fact the victim cannot blame Match.com , when background checks are readily accessible to the public .

    So, let’s break this down…

    “you’re an idiot…” – we’ll come back to that one.

    “liz is a prominent conservative” – no, she’s a Democrat

    “she worked as legal counsel for the republicans in the house of representatives during the Clinton impeachment.. ” – No, she worked for the DEFENSE, to HELP Clinton.

    “her husband went to prison for $400,000 in tax evasion….” – Yes, he did. And he’s a Democrat.

    “every time a republican does or says something stupid or racist you wingnuts claim they are liberal…” – No, every time someone says something stupid or racist YOU wingnuts claim they are conservative.

    “she just the type of women you conservative men love, one that will blame herself when your perverted ass rapes her….” – don’t really know how to respond to that one….

    ok, so…*you’re an idiot*- do you want to apologize to Lantern?

    You really don’t think that what I said is worse than this woman saying the deserved to get raped because she made herself vulnerable do you? Oh wait, you probably do. That is sick!

    Saying women have to screw someone to get ahead in their job is sexist. Nor did Lis say that the woman “deserved to get raped.” I swear to gawd the libs posting here are actually cons posing as libs so as to give the left a bad image. You are a prime example. More hateful, vicious, and misogynist than any con posters. Nothing but hate and insults emanating from you and your confreres.

    Yes because calling someone a bitch is worse than blaming a rape victim for their own rape.

    A least once a day it’s advised to stop gargling the Fox News cock and live in reality for 5 minutes…..

    Not just using the bitch word but saying she had to screw someone to get ahead. You really are a sexist pig and the gargling comment of yours was ugly as well. I’ll say it again, the libs posing here are trying to give libs a bad reputation. Hate-filled and misogynist, is that what you libs are now?

  • tgk

    See what’s happened here Tommy? Because of your lovely story, we now have the crazies on YOUR side taking it to the extreme and saying stupid things like Color Me badd’s accusing Lis of saying the woman DESERVED to be raped.

    So according to you there is NO place in this discussion about people taking personal responsibility when it comes to their safety?

    You “journalists” really need to start thinking about what you write.

    That’s OK nobody with half a brain gives that psycho any credence. It’s a wonder why anyone answers it.

  • lonestar77

    Good Lord, people. Lis said something stupid. O’Reilly immediately jumped in and defended the woman who got raped by pointing out that the guy could have seemed entirely normal on the first date because a lot of times these people are schitzo’s.

    But, since Lis is a lefty Tommy couldn’t let that stand so he had to throw O’Reilly under the bus for good measure by making up out of thin air that he was “by tarring the mentally ill”. Then, Tommy brings up something about Sean Hornbeck.

    This is how Tommy rolls. If a lefty says something stupid, that can’t be the end of the story. Tommy must drag someone else under the bus, even if he has to make things up. If you don’t know by now that Tommy is a dishonest propagandist, I can’t help you.

    BTW, how about addressing why you simply made up that O’Reilly was tarring the mentally ill, Tommy. Really, who does that?

    Leading Leftie Blog Mocks Sarah Palin’s Handicapped Baby on His Birthday

    Greatest Living American: A Children’s Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday

    That strange man yelling unintelligibly at Sarah Palin? He’s merely a lowly shepherd proclaiming the birth of our savior. Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifter’s magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.) It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we are privileged to live in a time when we can witness the greatest prop in world political history.

    What’s he dreaming about? Nothing. He’s retarded.

  • AndyZNYer

    this is a non-story; if you watch the segment you can see that she doesn’t blame the victim…yes, Lis does make those comments, but she clearly says that Match.com is at fault for not wanting to spend the time or money and agrees that the guy is the criminal and the woman is the victim…all Lis was trying to say (yes, perhaps she did so poorly) was that even if match.com had performed the background check, it gives a person a false sense of security because people do lie, etc and that a woman (or man) should take some responsibility for their own safety and not solely rely on others.
