For what it’s worth, I wrote Mr O the following:
“Mr O’Reilly,
You’ve lost a viewer. I’ve been a Free Republic member for many years, and was very disappointed that you referenced www.FreeRepublic.com as a hate site, leaving a clear impression that FR is of the same ilk as the Daily KOS. It isn’t. Not even close. You found a post that some troll made and used it to paint with a broad brush. Did it ever occur to you that maybe Mr Robinson doesn’t have the staff that you have to sift through the thousands of posts made each day to ensure the troll posts don’t see the light of day? I can tell you that he does a better job than most at keeping things clean and in good taste. I’m also disappointed in your off-handed dismissal of Jim Robinson’s response to you. You conveniently failed to mention that Mr Robinson himself is diabetic and an amputee because of it.
Whether this is “pithy” enough to make your show, I really don’t give a rat’s – not why I’m writing and wouldn’t hear it if you did read it.
A very disappointed,
Signed, Former Viewer in New Mexico”
Great letter!
Speaking of O’Reilly’s tastelessness: Did you ever notice how he seizes on every sleazy story about teen sex and goes on and on about it? I think he has some kind of a hangup on young girls. He’s had about 5 programs on “Sexting.”
Also, he loves to interview madames and strippers. You can see him salivating as his eyes wander to their boobs.
He is a Big Boob!
