AN irate moonbat from Kos called his radio show and asked him why he was singling out DailyKos when "right wing hate groups like FreeRepublic" were much worse. Like a good armadillo splattered on the center line of life O'Reilly went with the FR hate theme. He really is a shallow fellow.
I agree, I doubt very much if he logged onto FR to see for himself. It’s very possible that his staff isn’t doing their homework informing Mr. O’Reilly about FR. When I tune into O’Reilly, I get the thrust of the program from the git-go. The day I heard him talking about Jet Blue and Daily Kos, whammo! there’s Freerepublic representing the other end of the hate spectrum. In my mind (not to mention two perfectly tuned ears) what he said was offensive to me and others as well. As I posted a few days ago, Freepers are just about as main stream as they come. I’ve met them, I’ve participated in rallies in Kansas City in support of the site. Some days I can’t take 2 hrs of O’Reilly. But the gap between Rush & Savage leaves me only two choices: O’Reilly Radio Factor or Hannity (aka concert promoter and GM Cadillac Escalade expert and spokesman). Thanks Jim for addressing this topic. I stand by my post and my comments.
I’m not going to speculate. I can’t nor do I think anyone can read Bill’s thoughts.
What I do no as fact is that he violated every jounalistic standard to get the message out Free Republic is a right wing hate site.
When there is no objectivity or fact behind a public accusation, you’re left to believe he is acting as a spokesperson on behalf of your competitor or out of personal annimosity.
Either way he tipped his hand. All Freepers now know he hasn’t a shread of journalistic integrity, and the way he treated Kristinn (out of fear of having those papers exposed live) tells you he new he was lying while demonstrating every liers givaway with the exception of smoking furiously on a cigarette.
You’ll never get a straight answer regardless of how sound the speculation.
I want justice and I want it now.
This thread is the first thing that has made sense in all of this.
There is a thread with that phrase, but it wasn’t a FR poster who said it:

I was saddened during the discussion of the illegal immigration bill, that O'Reilly repeatedly claimed that people were race-prejudiced and just don't want society to change from the "white Christian male" standard. I just don't believe that's true, except possibly in border states where the populace has been rubbed raw by the increases in taxation, overburdened services and crime due to a huge illegal influx of undocumented aliens.
I believe, rather, that American citizens don't want the rule of law flauted, especially the many who sacrificed and worked for years to become naturalized. They do not want illegal immigrants moved to the head of the line. It's fundamentally unfair.
I am also appalled that Mr. O'Reilly promotes appearances by Medea Benjamin, head of CodePink. Her organization provided $600,000 to "the other side" in Fallujah a major bomb-making center for insurgents in Iraq just as our troops were preparing to go in and clean out the terrorists. Those actions presumably put dozens of our troops into their graves or into Walter Reed hospital, where Ms. Benjamin has sent her operatives to stand outside and protest war policy every week the worst kind of morally offensive hypocrisy. Why does O'Reilly legitimize her, or even give her the time of day?
It was an article from March 2001 about the vile and depraved left-wing tyrant Robert Mugabe. HE is the one who used the ‘dogs’ reference, and the poster who commented on it merely said that it’s not something Mugabe should be arrested for saying (the article was about a gay activist trying to have Mugabe arrested somewhere, Belgium I think....). It came up in a post asserting a free speech issue, not asserting the statement ala Mugabe. I’ve searched FR with Google and have not seen any other instance until yesterday when people were merely discussing and condemning the expression.
Ping to post 448.

the homosexual comment in a thread - but not by a FR poster.
This is SO not a hate site. I’ve seen too many FReepers jump on posters who post racist comments, etc., to know. BOR is 180 out on this one. There is NO comparison between FR and KOmmunistS — except that ones that show FR as a positive example.
Only people with no vision thing that there is a "center" in between a left wing and a right wing. In reality, formerly-Democrat social conservatives and mainstream Republicans are the majority of Americans, and the Democrats have increasingly chosen to represent the extreme fringes of society, from mega-weathy Hollywood and financial tycoons to the poor whom the rich use as human shields.
aka Gerry Rivers!
I stop short of calling for anyone's death, but once called Hillary "old piano legs."
I know, I know vile.
Let's meet at the nearest Japanese restaurant for a nice dish of sosumi.
He did the hit piece probably because he got bombarded when he, rightfully so, called the DailyKOS a site that is full of hate. So, someone on the left probably said we are just a bad over here.
Did we have a spike in new member sign ups today? Just curious....
I want to know why he couldn’t give Kristinn the printouts he held in his hands during the broadcast?
