F.R. defamed as "Hate Site" by Fox 5 News! [FOX News' Bill O'Reilly started this B/S]

Fox 5 News ^ | 8/16/07 | crusher

I was listening to the news out of the corner of my ear when I heard FreeRepublic specifically mentioned as a "hate site" about fifteen minutes ago.

Ostensibly the long report was about the Klan using the web to recruit new wackos. Then the focus turned to Casa Maryland, and their director who claimed that calls for his murder had circulated on the internet by anti-immigrant bigots. It was then that the anchor identified FR by name as a hate site.

Where is FOX 5?

[Old Sarge]

The Sheep have heard The Word. No amount of truth can reverse it.

[gidget7]

WHAT??????

What are these people smoking? Or is it injecting?

[Rudder]

Can we all share in a class-action suit against: Murdoch, News Corp, Fox and the entire news crew? Some mighty deep pockets there.

[roses of sharon]

I hope you called them???

[LdSentinal]

Probably NYC.

[vetvetdoug]

Democrats and Liberals don’t like us and this site. The bus is rolling and they are going to do all they can to destroy us and throw us under it. I fear the MSM is going to do all they can to smear us into oblivion and with their track record of precise and fair reporting, we are in peril (along with the country).

[Carbonsteel]

It only takes one or two jasckasses to give 15,000 a bad name.

[cripplecreek]

My last post about an illegal alien struck by lightning.

Yup. We don’t want them dead, just south of the border unless they’re here legally.

Oooooh hatefull huh?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Got an email address for them?

Perhaps if they receive 5,000 emails, they’ll think twice.

[gore_sux]

Yep, they got us, we’re all Klan members and Nazis who just happen to trend toward supporting the state of Israel. I know for me that always makes for some lively conversations at the weekly meetings.

[Quix]

GRRRRR . . .

May they fall in the pit they have dug ASAP.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Just a bunch of tired, old, white hippies throwing the race card again. It’s all they have.

[Perdogg]

WTTG Washington DC. In the early eighties they used to be an independant that showed Georgetown basketball.

Gotta hate that when that happens.

oops,did I say hate?

Guess the old media will be all over that tomorrow.

Sorry.

[khnyny]

I’m guessing DC metro area.

[rineaux]

Hate site.

Yes, we hate liars, illegal immigration, people trying to kill us becuase of our freedoms (whats left to it), contaminated foods from other countries as well as ours, giving money to countries that turn around after cashing the check and then spit in our face, and on and on....

[Kirkwood]

Robert Byrd is a member of FR? Who knew?

[twntaipan]

DU is the hate site. They are the most vile, treacherous and threatening site on the Internet.

[CodeMasterPhilzar]

Just because we won’t let the MSM spin our minds into submission we’re a hate site? If so, I wear the title proudly. As a T-Shirt my wife has says “THINK! It is not illegal yet.” Of course, the MSM doesn’t want us to think, they want to tell us what/how to think. They want us to believe them, to be easy to manipulate.

Any lie, no matter how ridiculous, that is repeated long enough and loud enough becomes fact in the mind of many.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Can't be true. We have Mods and now, Monitors to prevent any such thing.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Wow, we have been busted? bwahahahaha!

[goldstategop]

Who cares? If we do wear white sheets and burn crosses, rest assured no one knows about it. A shame FOX 5 never interviewed Jim Rob. They would know racism, obscenity and calls for the violent overthrow of the government are banned from this website. So much for what passes for "fact checking" by the MSM.

MSM are “hate” outlets and reality “deniers”

[Wings-n-Wind]

City...??
Station...??
Call Letters...??

[doc1019]

Yep … they are right … this is a hate site. We hate stupidly, inaccuracy, and attacks against the 1st amendment. Yep, that’s us.

[conserveababe]

The poster who made the one just before yours was hateful.

[kristinn]

Another Freeper called me and told me about the story. I’ve spoken to the Fox5 news desk about the story. I’ll be following up with them in the morning.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Can we all share in a class-action suit against: Murdoch, News Corp, Fox and the entire news crew? Some mighty deep pockets there.

My feelings are hurt. I'm a victim.

[JewishRighter]

Yes, we hate liars, illegal immigration, people trying to kill us becuase of our freedoms (whats left to it), contaminated foods from other countries as well as ours, giving money to countries that turn around after cashing the check and then spit in our face, and on and on.... Most of all we hate people who say FR is a hate site.

[crazyhorse691]

FreeRepublic specifically mentioned as a “hate site”

---

If the Boy Scouts can be called a hate group(which they have been), then I guess FreeRepublic qualifies as a hate site...the leftists have nothing but hatred at the site of us. Bad pun.

[DBrow]

Follows up on the BOR lies.

We can’t have FReepers messing up this election too, now can we?

[kristinn]

I called them.

[JewishRighter]

Before you go contacting them, I tried searching their site for the report and couldn’t find it. Anyone know where it is?

[rineaux]

Most of all we hate people who say FR is a hate site.

LOL. Very true.

[Texas Eagle]

I know that free advice is worth what you paid for it, but along with talking to someone from Fox5 you might want to consider inviting them to see for themselves the pure volume of posts that are generated at FR headquarters and encourage them to see just how few posts are even remotely “hateful”.

[conserveababe]

Yep. Like #12 on this thread.

[RDTF]

Probably from the Bill OReilly segment recently

[Lancey Howard]

It was then that the anchor identified FR by name as a hate site.

Well, I know I hate that ignorant scumbag of an anchor....

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Text of my comment:

—

I just read on Freerepublic.com, that someone at your media outlet referred to Freerepublic as a “hate site”.

That’s just silly.

Go to the site.

If you know anything about it, you will know the site is monitored 24/7 by a group of totally rambunctious moderators, who will obliterate any post hinting of any sort of “hate” faster than you can say Daily KOS.

You cannot however, say that about... the Daily KOS.

Go to Freerepublic.com. See for yourself.

Then you might post an apology there.

It would be appropriate.

Raise a question about ex-wives and divorce and you can drum up the hate real fast from the resident FR He Man Woman Haters Club.

[r9etb]

You reap what you sow. You can find ample evidence to support “FR is a hate site” on any immigration thread you care to mention ... and these days, damned near everything turns into an immigration thread.

[Carbonsteel]

That's what I mean.

On the flip side, got to DU, and every other statement can be like that sometimes.
