Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly responded on The Factor tonight to criticisms of his attacks last night on Free Republic and Hot Air by the sites' respective founders, Jim Robinson and Michelle Malkin. The segment last night was on reaction by right and left wing websites on the Judge Sotomayor nomination to the Supreme Court. Free Republic was singled out for an obnoxious comment about Sotomayor being diabetic. Hot Air was singled out for an impolitic strongly worded appeal to block her nomination.
O'Reilly noted Malkin's reaction made on Fox and Friends this morning and Robinson's comments which were posted on Free Republic and e-mailed to The Factor.
O'Reilly agreed that both had points but that the sites should better monitor their comments as he does at his site and that O'Reilly would hold both right and left wing sites accountable.
Hot Air complained that the comment singled out by O'Reilly was labeled a 'blog' entry rather than a comment, thereby leaving the impression it was made by one of the site's official posters.
Jim Robinson's response was boiled down to Jim calling O'Reilly "an elitist gasbag" and noting that offending comments sometimes get past the moderators. O'Reilly did not inform his viewers that Mr. Robinson is a diabetic who has lost family to the disease.
The segment aired about forty minutes into the program tonight.

Are you suggesting that in order to be a conservative one must be willing to act like ill-mannered liberals? Can we, conservatives, not fight our battles with integrity, intelligence and maturity?
I’m a conservative but I’m also one who believes that we should not mimic the actions of those on the left. I am disgusted by their tactics. Wouldn’t I be a hypocrite if I thought it was o.k. for us to act like them?
I realize your post was not meant for myself, but I am baffled by some of the responses to comments by those who believe in not giving our enemies more targets to shoot at by acting in a way that puts a bullseye on our backs and disgraces our fellow conservatives. I have always thought of conservatives as being the adults in the room, so to speak. They are where I live.
And there it is folks!!!!! Especially after his pervert charges that he swore he would fight and not pay a dime and of course had to pay the woman off. I wonder since Fox found out what kind of guy he really is that try to keep him a short leash when it is needed. Hi show lacks passion and truth.
LOL
Hmm sort of a tag team with Beck-O’Really-Hannity-Greta... That wouldn’t be fair or balanced;~)
Bill O’Reilly: Hypocrite

Yah, he's got teleprompter issues too... warning...this is not family friendly: O'Really displays his true character.
it's always about him as the most self righteous of all....what an ego..
Wow......
Every night when Bill O’Reilly goes home, he cannot escape the reality that deep down inside, he knows he’s always been a loser, and no matter what pinnacle of achievement he perceives his ratings at Fox to be, he will never overcome his primary defect - he is in lack of character, therefore a bully, and Prozac just won’t make up for it.
How’d you like to wake up in the middle of the night only to realize you’re a 40 watt rich phony with no class. It’s obvious why he hates himself. Quote me Bill.
Beck is analytical and presents a whole case. BORe is a person who just antagonizes the people he interviews. He cuts people off and states his opinion.
He is a serial rude person to many people. Not very good, but sometimes is amusing.
All in all, Beck is three of four times as good and ten times as effective.
Good post, glock.
All in all, Beck is three of four times as good and ten times as effective.
Beck was blessed with talent that BO can never have.
BOR still needs to post a coherent analysis of his position on the veracity of the Swift Boaters.
Calling all sorts of folks "pinheads" is a perfect example of pure projection on BOR's part.
Obviously, BOR only respects freedom of speech when it is speech he want to hear. What a tool.
Kirsten is mostly a kool-aid drinker, IMO.
Shouldn't O'Reilly better monitor HIS comments while he attempts unwanted phone sex with his employees??
