I was kind of partial to one poster’s comment that O’Reilly was a “brainless falafel.”
I read Jim’s post and my first response was, “What’s this O’Reely thing he’s talking about?”
I didn’t watch the BORe when he was on some salacious teevee tabloid scandal show and I haven’t ever watched him since.
Then my next thought was, “Jim, after running this forum for so many years, you - especially YOU - should know the primary rule: DON’T FEED the TROLLS!”
I know it’s hard and I’ve held myself back many time from posting something in response to someone who is obviously standing, jumping up and down, waving his arms in the air, wetting his lacy pink panties and literally shouting, “Look at me, everybody, look at meeeeeeee!” It IS hard to resist.
But all Jim and Michelle Malkin have done is increase the BORe’s viewership and given him more ammunition. Everyone who knows what he is takes none of your energy to describe him; they already know and very likely have the same opinion.
Those who don’t know who he is - and the numbers must be legion - don’t deserve to have him called to their attention. Why inflict a worthless gasbag on some unknowing innocent who sees your response and goes to look and find out who this mental midjet is... thus resulting in another stultified, repulsed brain - at best - or a new unimaginably stupid (typically liberal) convert to his teevee drivel and scandal based idiology.
Jim, you of all people, should know that no matter what you write and no matter how cogent and coherent your response is to him, it will be taken out of context, twisted and maliciously lied about... all to win a few more viewers and ratings points.
If virtually no one ever tuned in to mr single-digit-IQ’s tabloid exercise in ego pumping, he’d fade quickly away. Thus the old BBS and forum adage: DON’T FEED THE TROLLS. (But to be honest, FR seems to have much more intelligent, higher IQ, and better looking trolls than BOR could ever hope to rise up to. And as you know, that’s saying a LOT!)
No matter how much I agree with what Jim wrote, making him irrelevant is more powerful than responding to his moronic rants.
Just my moronic 2 one hundreths of a buck.

How closely should a web sight be monitored?? How politically correct should the sight administrators be? Jim Robinson has always brought people up short when the strayed too far off of the Conservative range. Likewise he has limited posts that go the the the Skinhead side of the spectrum. As a result most of the posters, at least the long term posters, kind of, sort of mostly agree and if they don't, there are plenty of other sites they can gravitate toward. That is a long ways from Robinson assuming responsibility and being answerable for each and every comment.
Holding Jim Robinson responsible for my comments on a political discussion web site is beyond ludicrous to the point of being Orwellian.
I’m really starting to question O’Reilly’s impartiality. He gives Al Sharpton tons of free air time to legitimize his odious and racist ideology. You can find screwball stuff on any blog. He picked Malkin and Free Republic because he does not like conservatives. Ever since O’Reilly gave Geraldo a platform to smear Malkin, and she called him on it, he has it in for her.
he is the web police now, how about holding the MSM accountable you jerk.
Playing both sides of the fence has made him very rich... and all he worries about now is staying that way.
In his bloated head we are ALL pinheads...and he is the patriot(or is that patriarch?).
The mere fact that he gets the ratings he gets is more a testament to the quality of his competition(and television in general), which fortunately for him is even more weak and pathetic than he and his program.
What gives O’Reilly the authority to “hold accountable” people exercising their right of free speech? I don’t play cop for the idiots expressing their views at the DU or DailyKOS. I don’t really care what O’Reilly says on his show. Why is it his job to police people at FR?
The words “Elitist Gasbag” might not scare BOR as much as the words “Glenn Beck” do, but both explain the reason for his falling popularity.
My goodness, if these were the only ‘offensive’ posts Mr O’Reilly could find here, or on ANY forum site, he’s not trying very hard.
How silly.
On the bright side..
Just as Rush gained curious listeners when he was attacked by the Left..
FreeRepublic could well gain new members thanks to O’Reilly’s unintentional plug!
BOR is a POS. I do not see the appeal. He’s just another ego looking for a camera or a microphone to stand in front of.
O’Reilly is trying to play both ends against the middle to maximize his viewing audience.
And still, people watch Fox “news” religiously. Wake up. It’s tabloid trash.
saw it live while flippping channels and heard him get on the topic

The miserable POS also told the world that US troops massacred Germans at Malmedy — yes, he is that stupid.
