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.

Bill O’Reilly is losing it, he must think he matters.
I think BRs minions are really DUers and KOS kids.
O’Reilly: “Hominy Grits?”
FR: “Oh, about 7 or 8 hundred!”
O’Reilly proved his dishonesty tonight.
The man has no honor........nuff said.
“Ahhhh.... Bill 0’Reilly is full of himself, he has Dan Rather Syndrome”
No known cure : )
Oh I HATE when that happens...used to do it all the time when I was driving over the road.
Worse feeling, is forgetting where you are, where you're going, and nothing looks familiar.
I had to literally wait for a road sign to figure out where I was.
I guess our minds sometimes go into such a deep sleep that it does not send messages to the brain of what time it is. I think there is also a message in there that, you need more sleep.
Anyway, now that that wierd stuff is over I'm off to the Pub for a few brews. And I don't have to be at work for another 11 hours. LOL.
Maybe someone should do a history of comment search on BOR’s site message board?
My dad owns a white t-bird and a white mustang which I *love*, but his colored plasma is unbearable. Clean white sneakers are a yes, but black ones make no sense. I agree with you about the white pumps thing - that is, unless you are a bride.
What say you, Mr. (I want to be loved by the DemocRats) O’Reilly?
It looks like O’Reilly was doing a lot of spinning in his no-spin-zone in that report. He could find a single legitimate post out of the millions that were here and then presented that as representative of Free Republic’s post as the norm. That was a lie. The comment about the blacks was a fabrication, as was the comment about homosexuals.
O’Reilly should admit he mislead his viewers - but he won’t. Ego over fact.
And again he lied even after he was told. He said FR needed a “full time moderator” after he was told there were moderators, they just aren’t paid.
That's nice - did he apologize for the misleading report he made initially?
Not a bad idea...
RKV's - Simply put, Bender is in favor of treating citizens as guilty until proven innocent, as are ALL others who support pre-sale identity checking for firearms. You may be one of those two, and I’ll say the same to you.
Couldn't help but underline the above to show RKV does not even read what is posted to him...
egg, as you and all other can plainly see, while you and I are Nazis in RKV's eyes, he is just one of the very few lying 'nut jobs' here on FR that give Bill O'Reilly and his ilk grist for their mills...
I should have left RKV alone like I did on post 41 of that Gun shops under closer scrutiny thread when I offered: If this thread has proven anything, it is your contempt for any view, any law that is not 100 per cent in accordance with your views and your views alone.
If the Constitution speaks for anything it is the rule of law and addressing any wrongful laws by just and legal means...
I can see you did not comprehend that in the Constitution and in consequence, I can see you have no true friends because you shun anyone who does not march in ridged lock step with your very own views.
I should have recalled what my late Father once told me. He said to never argue with a idiot. No amount of breath, logic or reason may make an idiot see beyond his shortsighted frame of reference and the walls of ignorance he builds around his limited, defective id.
You've built those walls might high, old sport and I am finished wordsmithing rhyme and reason that fall on a shuttered and closed mind...
Therefore, I will just pity you and leave it at that. I never cared for shooting fish in a barrel.
egg, RKV suffers enough by being the fool he proves each and every time he answers a thread. That, sadly, is a self imposed lifetime sentence without any time off for parole...
No plants and no need to change our moderating system. The moderators are fine. O’Reilly simply overstated or misrepresented his case. There was no statement threatening to Hillary, no “I hate Blacks” comment and no “homosexuals are dogs.” O’Reilly blew it.
exactly spot on Jim, just watching the 11pm show, yet to see the letters part, Dennis Miller up now.
booger.
I like it. How many grit is the way my wife would say it. Yup, the gal is from the big city but I love her dearly.
