Lennie, I read it on one of the threads. They either stated it or I misinterpreted what they said. I believed it to be true when I made the comment.

Okay, here we go:

Never mind, I answered my own question.

On August 9, Bolling filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against some writer. Details are on Wiki.

In one of the articles listed there, I read that the Huffington Post standing by their free lance reporter, backing them financially.

What choice did they have? They’re basically defending themselves here. They will be named sooner or later.

It was a big nothingburger until the son’s death.

Who cares if he sent a picture of his Johnson to one of those sluts on Fox. BFD. Not like he sent it to a 14 year old girl scout.

I have no reason to suspect this was not a suicide. I just want to mention that many cases of "clear-cut suicide" have been later determined to be homicide.

The timing of accusations against Eric Bolling has bothered me. And it was just after he had a bestseller in exposing the Swamp.

Just remember everybody, nobody has seen any proof of this whatsoever. This is just some chicks from Fox News trying to cash in in the current environment. And their attorney is one of the Revolutionary socialist attacking our country right now.

The Accusation is not proof. I simply don't trust Fox News under the new management of the Murdoch sons, to be trustworthy. They may have fired him simply based on accusations.

We should boost "One America News Network."

On the other thread we were wondering if the firing had anything to do with his son's decision. Now we see that it did.

Please look at the bullying this son got from the ever-caring lib commenters on this photo. I'm sure he got this and worse at school.

It is crystal clear that the leftists want ZERO TOLERANCE for bullying against gays or transgender or darker races. BUT THEY ARE THRILLED to bully to DEATH the innocent children of prominent conservatives.

Also, fought liberal leftists for years and no conservatives save ONE ever came to my defense.

I know you have been beat up on this thread and it’s time to quit doing so.

But you might look at your tactics when confronting libs. Fighting them “smartly” rather than purely confrontational might be more effective and result in a lot more support from fellow conservatives.

Best wishes-

The allegations about his father... is the most we can say at this point.

And even then, suicide isn’t a common reaction to that even though shock and horror are. Something else was eating the lad already, I would bet.

The thought briefly crossed my mind that the son perhaps somehow felt responsible for his father's troubles. Could the son have sent these pictures as some sort of lark?

I don't think it is likely, but it is the only reason for which the son might have felt responsible enough to kill himself, of which I can think.

Did you think I was going to apologize or backtrack like a politician? Just curious.

Or that you may have been hasty in your judgement, like an ordinary person who can make mistakes?

Eric just posted this on Twitter:

“Authorities have informed us there is no sign of self harm at this point. Autopsy will be next week. Please respect our grieving period.”

I got flames hot as the sun for that one.

Was it directed toward a dead kid's father like this one was?

This was beyond no class and utterly uncalled for.

You sure got that right. No one cares what the leftist liberals do at all. They can do and say anything they want and no one cares.

Which is one reason I no longer buy accusations that seem politically related. The Swamp is mounting a defense against those of us who want it cleaned out.

The boy was so ashamed he killed himself. Dad’s behavior must have had something to do with it. It is what it is.

He sounds like the Freeper embodiment of CNN. He makes up a story with zero supporting facts and then wraps it up with a lame platitude. Gag me.
