Calling Daily Kos a "vicious far-left Web site," Mr. O'Reilly spent a segment of his broadcast attacking the blog and asking why the conference's lone major corporate sponsor, JetBlue Airways Corp., would support a site that allows readers to post hateful comments. JetBlue later denied that it was a sponsor of the event.
Daily Kos bloggers -- its staff of editors and their many readers/contributors -- took offense at Mr. O'Reilly's attack, and a war of words broke out.
It took less than a day for the blog to acquire an unlikely champion: Mrs. Clinton, who has been a favorite target of the blog's writers for her vote to authorize the Iraq war and her refusal to apologize for it.
Within days of Mr. O'Reilly's attack, the Clinton campaign launched a pro-Kos petition drive, issued a statement of support and sent communications director Howard Wolfson onto Mr. O'Reilly's show to defend the bloggers.

From the July 16 edition of Fox News The OReilly Factor:OREILLY: Hi, Im Bill OReilly. Thank you for watching us tonight. JetBlue and the radical left that is the subject of this evenings Talking Points Memo.
What do you think of someone who says the following: The world would be better off without him. That after Tony Snow announced his cancer had returned. The pope is a primate. Evangelicals are nut cases. Better luck next time, after an assassination plot against Vice President Cheney in Afghanistan. And Some attacks against coalition forces in Iraq are legitimate.
All of those thoughts were posted on a vicious far-left website called the Daily Kos, one of the worst examples of hatred America has to offer. This summer, that website is having a convention in Chicago. And only one major corporation has stepped up as a sponsor. That company is JetBlue, the airline that melted down last winter.
Meanwhile, investigation of the Daily Kos reveals exactly the kind of material that appeared at MoveOn.orgs Action Forum.
"Americas blind support to Israel is the result of the Jewish lobby. The neo-cons and other groups that seek to subvert America have always had an opposition force against them. The Jewish lobby owns Republicans and Democrats and stands unopposed. The result is silence against Israels crimes against humanity and the undermining of American interests and moral authority. Many have stood up against Bush but what politician or commentator has the fearlessness and moral character to stand up against Israeli policies? The silence can end on this blog. I would encourage others to regularly post comments that reject Israeli atrocities against humanity.
Were Jewish interests behind the Iraq War? Alone, hell no. But were they a factor? Thats not even up for debate. Of course they were. Have you been able to argue with a rightwinger who didnt point to Saddam Hussein rewarding the families of suicide bombers as supporting terrorism (then equivocating it with the US/Al Queda conflict)?
Trying to suggest that there is zero influence from the rightwing neocon segment of the Jewish lobby in Bushs administration is just blithering stupidity. No basis in fact or logic is a claim youre simply unable to substantiate. Criticizing Israeli policy and US policy regarding Israel is all Ive done and you wont be able to produce a shred of evidence otherwise. What you also have to overlook is that I also think the Palestinians have been a bunch of incompetent dishonest scoundrels.
A comment for A Ride with Heinrich Himmler cites what are apparently four examples of anti-Semitic hate speech at the Daily Kos
Heres the first four I found. (0 / 0)
"According to the study, pro-Israel lobby groups have exploited the sensitivities of major media outlets and of US politicians to campaign contributions to maintain their sympathy for Israel regardless of what it does in the region."
" By AIPACs last count, 11 US senators were Jewish and only 2-3 % of the population is Jewish. I am sure there are similar ratios in the House of Representatives"
"Because each and every congressman is fearful of AIPAC. So they all toe the line, and the exceptions to this rule get hammered ruthlessly by Americas most powerful lobby."
"The irony is that this is the first time in history that a tiny nation (Israel) has manuevered a superpower to fight a war as its proxy. Its usually the other way around. And of course the oil was going to pay for it all. Just ask Mr Wolfowitz about that. Alas, in America it is not politically correct (or if your running for office, politically wise)to question the dangerous influence that Israel has over the foreign policy and national security of the United States"
Why Liebermans Independent Run Will Fail talks about Jew Lieberman, to use MoveOn.orgs terminology.
"The Repubs will get behind Joe and probably try to rig the elections. Joe voted quite a lot with the repub on issues of war. They will support him and finance him under the table. I pray he quits first but even if he does he will probably work for the Jewish Lobby."
Is Ratzinger still a Nazi ?
by hillarious Tue Apr 19, 2005 at 02:32:11 PM PDT "Theres heated debate about whether its appropriate to call Ratzinger the Nazi Pope. It is not clear hes still influenced by the Nazi teaching during his childhood, however, it is clear he was in the Nazi Youth Camp and he is notoriously ultraconversative."
"...I will call him Nazi Pope, plain and simple, for his past, more importantly, for his current facist doctrine."
"I hate the liberals whining when they do not know how to fight. I dont care whether this guy is a real Nazi or not. Hes an ultraconservative and we need to demonize him as soon as possible."
Pimps, Pedophiles, Priests, and Fox News
Oh, Im a religious bigot alright. (8+ / 0-)

I make no secret of that. I despise religion, all of it, even that part that does good, because its all based on lies. Like the war in Iraq, no good will ever come out of it, because it started with a lie. I concede most priests were probably not pedophiles. They didnt molest children physically, only developmentally, teaching them to remain forever infantile emotionally, with this idea that if they are only good boys or good girls, a magical father will break the physical laws of the universe on their behalf. Molesting them emotionally, by teaching them that the most joyful aspects of their physical nature are dirty, sinful; Abusing them intellectually, by teaching them there is an all-powerful authority they must never question. I could go on and on. The church, in particular the Catholic church, is an evil organization, that has nothing much in common to do with the man they claim they follow. The whole thing is based on lies, beginning with the fact that it was founded by Jesus- not so.

I dont think my opinion on this particular topic (3+ / 0-)
Recommended by: Brian Bell, mango, sarasson007
is going to have any influence on whether religious people decide to support Democrats or Republicans. Or even whether they decide to post here. I dont really subscribe to the theory that individuals posting here represent anyone other than themselves. Just to prove it, let me point out something else: I DONT SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! I dont think 99 percent of our soldiers are decent, law-abiding folks of good will. On the contrary, I think most of them are a bunch of murdering, racist, bullies. Who sincerely believe they attacked us on 9/11, because they means Moslems, all Moslems, and Sihks and Persians to boot. So, I dont support our troops, and I hate religion. You think those two opinions of mine are going to stop anyone from voting Democratic? You think there are people who might read this thread or some other where I post my opinion and say to themselves; You know, I was thinking of becoming more progressive, but that asshole A. Whitney Brown hates our troops and Christians, so the hell with it, I think Ill remain a Republican. That would be too bad. But its too late to change.
Oh, one more thing. (0 / 0)
" Look Arken, you confuse me with someone who gives a **** how Catholics these pope worshipping, blood drinking, superstitious hoopleheads. If they want ot live under Republican rule the rest of their lives, theres nothing I can do or say. Im certainly not interested in wasting any of my time on this earth convincing them otherwise. Nor in censoring my own opinions in the hope of not offending them. Anyone who is offended by my opinions is welcome to turn the page.

I never said anything about individual Catholics. (0 / 0)
Being Catholic is adhering to a set of beliefs, just like being a Republican. No one is born Catholic, thats why they have confirmations. Adults can choose their own belief systems and at some point they must take responsibility for their choices. The Catholic church is a force for evil in the world, no different than the KKK, the Republican Party, or the Westboro Baptist Church.
=================================================
It comes as no surprise that Hillary Clinton, who is herself suspected of using the phrase "Jew Bastards," has come to the rescue of the Daily Kos' Jew-haters and Catholic-haters.

In other news, crap draws flies. Film at 11:00.

I guess JetBlue is courting the support of a future Clinton Administration.
The Dems have gone whole-hog into the arms of the loony left. This may be all that saves us--Kos, Moore, Chomsky ARE the Democrat party. Keep telling people that.
Some people have tried to lump Free Republic together with sites such as Daily Kos.
I must say that I have NEVER EVER seen such hatred and malicious things on Free Republic as are attributed to Daily Kos.
There’s a great ongoing discussion here about the issues of the day. People have disagreements here. But nobody ever gets to the point of saying that they wish some liberal/radical/Democrat was dead and that they hope the assassin gets it right next time.
Some of these liberal/radical/socialist types seem to be childlike in their name calling and trying to end discussions by claiming someone is homophobic, racist, etc. , rather than discussing the merits of the issues.
Here at Free Republic, we all discuss the issues, and do not get into the name calling. That’s what helps set Free Republic apart from these sites like Daily Kos who ooze hatred for Bush and others without making cogent arguments about where that hatred is coming from.
If only that were true.
This morning I pointed out, in joking fashion, that Ron Paul supports our retreat in Iraq. I was called a supporter of terrorists.
“Here at Free Republic, we all discuss the issues, and do not get into the name calling”
Yeah, we discuss the issues. Like how fat Michael Moore is or how large Hillary’s thighs are or how gay John Edwards is or how black Barrack is or how ugly Waxman is or....nevermind.
Re: “Yeah, we discuss the issues. Like how fat Michael Moore is or how large Hillarys thighs are or how gay John Edwards is or how black Barrack is or how ugly Waxman is or....nevermind.”
Fat is the result of a behavioral choice, namely Michael Moore’s (and Rosie O’Donnell’s) choice to eat like the pigs they are. Hopefully no one is making remarks about Obama’s skin color—that sort of thing belongs at MoveOn.org and the Daily Kos. We should, as Martin Luther King said, judge him by the content of his character, which means he is not qualified to hold any office of public trust or responsibility in this country.
Well, sometimes there is name calling. Especially when discussing politics.
But it's the exception, not the rule here.
Personal attacks are against the rules,and the owners of the web site provide a "report abuse" button for anyone who feels the rules are being violated.
We, the FReepers, are all responsible for monitoring ourselves, and I think we do a pretty good job of it. I never see the "F" word posted, because if it is, the Mods delete it promptly.
It's not a perfect system, but it is darn close!
