BOR is a useless twit. FR does NOT have an obligation to employ paid mods. That suggestion is absolutely asinine.

Kristinn is doing well.

I’d say that I’m going to quit watching O’Reilly, but I did that long ago.Th guy gives me apoplexy. But, how kind of him, to say that Daily Kos is far worse than Free Republic.

And you LAZY MODS—you’re just crummy volunteers! /s

He didn't say anything about FR.

Lanny Davis, and Lanny Davis alone, did.

They’re raking Free Republic over the coals. I wish O’R would have produced the evidence of his accusations—I know they CAN, but they didn’t.

Not good enough. Tell his sponsors that you are done watching him. Then have a few dozen of your friends do the same.

“Lanny Davis, and Lanny Davis alone, did.”

What would you expect from a Clintonista? The Clintons certainly have plenty of lawyer mouthpieces.

BOR held in his hand a printed page from FreeRepublic and rattled off” very offensive” stuff he said he pulled down today on FR. BOR said it says “wish Hillary dead”, “I hate blacks” and something else I can’t remember. Kristinn was put in a position to defend those remarks and simply said we have volunteer moderators who try to remove that kind of stuff. BOR countered saying you should get paid moderators. Kristinn responded something about money.

O'Reilly has basically compared Free Republic to Daily Kos & Democratic Underground. He has apparently cherry-picked a few posts to support his claim that FR is a "right-wing hate site".

IIRC O'Reilly supports gun control, and buys into Al Gores' global warming propaganda. Enough said.

I’ve been here for nearly seven years and do not recall hearing a statement about blacks, like the one O’Reilly found. There have been sone thinly veiled disparaging remarks, most of which have at least some facts to back them up. Most times that has happened someone has made a point of “correcting” them. Kristinn was right about their being plants on this board (MdforBush, or something like that, was one of the more noted ones).

The left saying that the right plants stuff on their websites, is similar to them complaining about vote-fraud by the GOP, while they steal election after election, some of which have been very large.

No link, no story, nothing?

A thread about something you saw on TV with no follow-up?

Way cool!

There's a Geico commercial on my TV, I should post a thread!!!

Funny, all the leftist websites loathe O’Reilly as some kind of raving right winger. But then, the Left is generally out of touch with reality and indiscriminate. As for O’Reilly, I guess he thinks he’s being “fair and balanced” by going after a conservative site after attacking the DailyKos.

Certainly DU and Daily Kos are FR-wannabees, but they've totally missed one important ingredient - the truth. Clinton is/was a scumbag PERIOD. Lots of Freepers with integrity went to great lengths to post an accurate record of what went on in that administration. I'm reminded of the hours and hours and hours that Alamo Girl worked on a huge, bound compendium of media articles that FR presented to each and every congressmen before the impeachment.

At the House Managers dinner FR was given a good deal of the credit for getting the Scumbag-in-chief impeached. I've always been proud to have been associated with Kristin, MAF, Basil, Alamo Girl and many, many others. They are truly great Americans.

The freaks on DU and Daily Kos are just that - freaks without a clue.

I’d have to agree with you. I’ve been on here for a long time. Freepers are not bigots (although we don’t have much use for our enemies). BOR should have provided the link, or not make the accusation. Hey Bill, if you’re reading this, you’ve just been used by the Left again. Useless Idiot.

We get the occasional stormfront troll but they aren’t smart enough to last long. DUmmies are better at hiding among us than those idiots.

The fact is, O’Reilly doesn’t like any website that doesn’t make him money — which means the only website he approves of is his own.

He hates the web because he can’t control it. He hates the web because he can’t have the government control it. He hates the idea that he is not a gatekeeper of information — that the web opens up opinion to people other than himself.

This is one of the key points to understand about O’Reilly. It colors every response he has to the internet. I mean, my God!...people are able to express themselves without having to pay their dues on “Inside Edition” or a paycheck from a legitimate media source. We can’t have that! It’s anarchy!

Are There Right Wing Hate Sites?

I suspect there are.
The KKK, Aryan Brotherhood, The Phinneans (sp?)...
Lord only knows what sort of BEYOND THE PALE Right-Wing websites
are out there on the web.

But at www.freerepublic.com, there's a wide spectrum of opinion and
comment. And there is "censorship", such as the removal of a thread
on a (to this poster) legitimate article critiquing INSANE governmental
policies by a major country in Europe.

Yes, there are occasional outbreaks of white-hot disdain on freerepublic.
But, by and large, there aren't folks pimpin' for the assassination of
politicians they disagree with.

That's because most Freepers seem to understand that however confused,
convoluted or, yes, even EVIL, some of their adversaries maybe appear...
there are certain rules of etiquette that really should be observed.
