Very true. I read the posts on the location you gave and if searching for words, he could zero in on I hate blacks. But, it was not our hate speech it was a discussion of history.

“1938
Q: Why did you join the Nazi Party?
1st person - “Because I hate Jews”
2nd person - “Because I hate blacks”
3rd person - “Because Germany should rule Europe”
4th person - “I was forced to at gunpoint”

Different people, different anger”

Just a cheap shot from O’Reilly to soften his stance against Kos. Real nice, tear down our reputation over a few misinterpreted comments and ignore the thousands upon thousands of kind, thoughtful, intelligent discussions.

So, I guess O’Reilly is in need of another witch-hunt. He will become the speech monitor.

"comments"

Because a poster or two has a nasty comment slip by the moderators that does not make the forum a hate site. There are a few posters who go to the edge, but I would not necessarily categorize them as haters. A hate site is a forum that would allow a large percentage of posters to make derogatory comments about certain ethnic groups or religions. I've yet to see that on FR.

Great point.

I have written O’Reilly many times about his out-of-line comments, the use of his power against the oil companies because he cannot understand the oil industry and markets.

Keep quiet? Why?

A reputation is hard to build and easy for O’Reilly to destroy without backing up his claim.

Notice he did not mention DU (Democrats Underground-in case O’Reilly is searching for more hate sites).

We have seen their comments and they are always distasteful.

But, it has the name democrats - so, of course, O’Reilly will not touch it. He would rather win points to lure Hillary to his show by trashing an effective right wing site of conservatives all over the nation.

Bad move O’Reilly.

Now that those vile words have been on BOR’s show we may as well say that HIS show is a “hate show” that features such phrases, right? His quoting them is the essentially the same as someone posting an article where a phrase appears — it’s a 3rd party quotation not an endorsement.

I’m sure Jim and Company will clear this up. I would love for Kristinn and Jim force O’Really to put up or shut up.

I bet ten bucks his shrink (after his late night calls to a prod. talking DIRTY to her) has something like.....a Buckley complex. He consistantly feigns the Buckley mannerisms and lowers his voice an octive.
Frequently waving a piece of paper claiming he (yeah right)
found dangerous speech that needed to be silenced.

He doesn’t even know what the site is and he then seeks to tell us how to run the site.

He has shown his ignorance. He also shows his ignorance when he turns against the war after the surge only had 3 months, when he tells the oil companies to be free provider of oil instead of making profit for the stockholders, and now when he tries to lure the left by trashing his own viewers.

Well, ignorance is ignorance. But a talk show host should be careful.

What prompted the Leprechaun’s hit piece on FR was Lanny Davis naming FR as a right wing hate site on yesterday’s Factor program.

I don’t understand why Billo is attacking you personally, and this site. You have done more for conservatism than just about anyone, and he has this nerve. He should apologize on his show in full repentance. Doubt it will happen

Damn, and I defended him against KOS, when they pulled their stunt yesterday morning in front of his home.

Hell, I still defend him against those kind of tactics.

Hey Bill be a good idea to not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Michele Malkin by herself could educate O'Reilly regarding FreeRepublic.

Only Ann Coulter is idolized more in here.

>>I have requested the list of offensive comments with source links from Fox. I’m expecting a response tomorrow.<<

Good for you!
And if you don’t get them, MANY FReepers have TiVo.

He would be better off sending them, than letting us research them. We will slay him.

Been here since at least '98. If any of those had been posted, the odds are 95-100% that they'd have been reported and deleted very shortly.

Of course, out-of-context snippets (i.e. "don't lump me in with loonies who say 'I hate blacks''...") are a favorite fool's gam.

JR I was going to send you this in private but I will post it due to the concern I have for the potential of it being true. There is a rumor going around in emails that this attack by BO was orchestrated by some who have been banned here. The story goes that they have mounted a smear campaign for you and FR to show us how strong they are. This is just the first round. They are supplying FNS and the BO producers with posts taken way out of context as well as lines from posted stories that were NOT the work of members.

It is my sincere hope that this is not true but it seems prudent to be prepared for more in the coming week or so. I suggest a strong offense as k started last night.

Thank-you kristinn.

Just saw this thread, and I am outraged!
I have appreciated O'Reilly going after abortionists & child predators...
..but WHY he is going after one of the finest websites in cyberspace leaves me sputtering!!!!

What in the world is he thinking????!!!
It's just so wrong on all levels!!

Stand strong, Mr.JimRob.....Right will prevail!
