O'Reilly was kissing Lanny Davis' but the night before and they agreed that FR is a "hate site" so I guess BOR figured he needed some "proof" for his interview with Kristinn.
Lanny started whining right on cue
“The Right has hate sites. FreeRepublic is a hate site. Whah, whah,whah”
(paraphrased except for the whah-whah’s)
IIRC, at first BOR said his classic “don’t justify bad behavior with other bad behavior” The rest is history (YAWN!)
