Bill O'Reilly: "FreeRepublic Needs A Full Time Monitor. It Has None."
Fox News/Bill O'Reilly Show

This morning only a couple of minutes before 5am, I was surfing around when I came upon Fox News. Bill O'Reilly was closing out his show with him reading off a few viewers emails and him giving a small response to each one. One of them defended FreeRepublic, saying that doing a search, Daily Kos had thousands of certain cuss words, and FR had none. O'Reilly's response to that was: "FreeRepublic Needs A Monitor. It Has None." (And then he moved on to another email)

"..Alan Novak, Wichita, KS: "Comparing the Free Republic to the Daily Kos, I searched the F-word. Daily Kos, almost seven thousand mentions. Free Republic, none.""

Actually, I think he said that the website needed full time monitoring and poo poo’d something about them being ‘volunteers’.

Roger Ailes should have fired O’Reilly a couple of years ago when he was caught screwing around with the help.

FreeRepublic is in no way a “hate site”. The rules of the forum, the (general) behavior of the participants, and the analytical content of the posts all militate against such hatefulness as one sees over at other sites (which shall remain nameless).

FR explicitly disallows abusive or violent posts, and has a specific mechanism for removing any posts that transgress. Further, repeated flouting of the rules has and does result in the poster being banned for their breaking the rules.

If the above doesn’t mean that FR is NOT a “hate site”, then every workplace in the US should be shut down as “hostile environments” - because I know of no such workplaces that actually encourage open and honest debate while deliberately and consistently enforcing the rules of acceptable behavior on the participants.

JMHO.

“Earlier in the program (I saw the same rerun) he made a comment to the effect that political ‘hate’ speech posed a direct threat to politicians and (gasp) journalists, and that there should be laws protecting them....”

Further confirming my opinion that he’s mentally deficient.

There are laws against threats. What the bloody hell is he talking about?

Now, if I say that I wouldn’t mind seeing O’Reilly captured by pygmies, skinned alive, and dumped screaming into boiling salt water...well, that’s protected speech. Any call for direct action would be a threat. Right Ann Coulter? heh

” O’Reilly for some reason, is still receiving high ratings “

AT the time I get up in the morning, my choices are the O’Reilly rerun and Infomercials — Some mornings, “Intestinal Blockage” is the better alternative.....

O'Reilley has become a characture of what he once was.

He has not just fallen in love with who he sees in the mirror he now worships that guy. In the end it will be his own arrogance that fries him.

What O’Reilly and his conservaliberal ilk really mean is that Free Republic needs a censor. Say what you really mean, Billy Boy.

You’ve been a Freeper for about 3.5 months. You should be able by now to decide whether it’s a hatesite or not. If you’re afraid that the boss or IT guy takes the privilege of surfing on office’s computer, then perhaps you need to speak up when they find out or simply start freeping at home. Another option: invite them to be a Freeper.

O’Reilly is his own man. He seems eccentric and leans to authoritarian. He’s not conforming to any party, except maybe what he calls traditional Judeo Christian philosophy. I am shocked by his slip shod research on FR.
