The fact that Bill O’Reilly chose to make FreeRepublic look bad in the eyes of the viewing public, tells a lot more about him than it does about FreeRepublic. We know who we are. But Mr. O’Reilly wants people to believe that we are just one more biased online site, punctuated by the ever-present voices of hate. Of course, he is wrong, but he has an agenda. His agenda is one of striking back at FreeRepublic for what many of us have seen in him and noted here online. He is a shameless, self-promoting TV personality who pretends to be a populist, but is, in fact, a self-serving egomaniac, who believes that his camera and microphone make him a king.
There are posts with hateful sounding speech that are posted on here. I’ve not read many that sound like the Daily Kos or DU on their extreme end, but I’ve read some that BO might glom on to and try lumping us in with the Left. I’ve complained mightily about those kinds of posts. Lots of us have done so. That’s another thing that seperates us from the Lefty sites, that those kinds of posts are subject to plenty of blowback from others here. Of course BO isn’t going to explain that, or anything else that doesn’t fit his own program agenda.

Sorry for the double post.
