I received an e-mail today from the Fox News producer who booked me for the O'Reilly Factor last night. The links have been forwarded to Jim Robinson for review.
Jim asked me to start a thread with the links so that Freepers, and everyone else, could see for themselves what the fuss is about.
The Hillary Clinton stray bullet assassination comment was a very bad joke comment that someone posted two days ago. It was flagged last night after the O'Reilly Factor broadcast and was removed by a moderator. It is available for the time being in Google cache:
To: Virginia Ridgerunner I like my scenario better:
After eight years of the economy faltering, interest rates are 19%, 900,000 people are dead in Iraq since we left, taxes have gone up by 60% and Chile, Bolivia and Columbia are now Communist regimes, a stray bullet at a NARAL rally catches President Clinton and kills her.
As they take away Cindy Sheehan she screams why did she have to remove the troops? We were winning.
The next day the dow goes up 2000 points and closes at 2150.

Don't even bother trying to defend that one. Assassination jokes have no place on Free Republic. Yes, Cindy Sheehan has written of her fantasizies about killing President Bush--and she's not joking, but that's her problem. We're better than that.
The "homosexuals are dogs" comment is taken out of context. The actual quote is "Homosexuals are the modern day dogs in the manger." That was in reference to an article about proprieters in the U.K. not being allowed to deny hotel accomodations to homosexual couples on account of religious belief.
The American Heritage online dictionary gives this description for the phrase: dog in the manger, NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. dogs in the manger. One who prevents others from enjoying what one has no use for oneself. ETYMOLOGY: From a fable in which a dog prevented an ox from eating hay he did not want himself.
That comment was posted two days ago and has also been removed by the moderators. It is available for now in Google cache.
The "I hate blacks" comment was nowhere to be found in the other threads referenced.
The threads are about crime in the black community, gangsta culture and Jesse Jackson. Two of the threads are in the Smoky Backroom.

-The social networking Web site MySpace has already kicked 29,000 sex offenders off their site, but that hasn't stopped some criminals from keeping their profiles online.
A CBS 46 News investigation has tracked down dozens of sex offenders who still have access to children on MySpace. The list includes offenders convicted of child molestation, statutory rape, and a man who crossed state line to have sex with a minor.
While their online profiles describe their zodiac signs, hobbies and personal details, the one part of their identities they don't disclose on their Web sites is their criminal sexual past.-

To top it off, you make accusations but do not provide any examples. This is a web site so it shouldn't be a burden to supply at least one link.
It isn’t everyone, of course, but there are a large number of people on here that should keep their mouth shut most of the time. That will never happen though.
Sound advice, maybe you should take it?
Perfect, really just perfect.
That was fast.

I’d be curious to hear if BOR responds. The terrible bridge collapse has taken the news and BOR is not on. I was looking to see if he would have any comments from the ‘letters’ at the end of his program.
Saw the segment last night. Thank you!
Except it was true.
GAY ACTIVISTS TRY TO STOP TV NEWS STORY
No I'm not a BOR fan. I just remember the story.
Hey Factor, I've got one for you!!! Someone at FR used the term niggardly !
copy that
Thank you, M Kehoe.
Steve Young has too much time on his hands in his post-NFL life...... OH, not THAT Steve Young.......
Thanks.
If the page he waved at Kristinn was supposed to be one of the allegedly offending posts, it’s definitely wrong. That page was from a thread about Gov. Keane and higher taxes in VA, and on which I saw no offensive posts. On that basis alone, I’d say there was at least some misdirection.

I Tivo’d O’Reilly and watched today. You were great and remained a calm, polite gentleman in spite of his bullying tactics and cutting you off.
Thanks. Points well taken!
In all honesty I can't ever watch his program again, he just ain't worth it.........
bttt
Yeah, O’Reilly was definitely paid off in some way on the “Swift Boat” issue ~ puke was putting down enlisted personnel on behalf of an officer who regularly ran his guys back out in the boonies to recreate and film action they’d just been in.
