Bill O'Reilly Slams Freerepublic

Posted on 07/29/2007 3:49:13 PM PDT by WyCoKsRepublican

I recently tuned in to the Radio Factor to hear Bill O'Reilly saying that he was hated by Freerepublic and that it was an extreme right wing blog. First of all, Mr. O'Reilly is not hated. I have a lot of respect for the man, his honesty, integrity and point of view. What I don't like, as do many Freepers, is that when he is on target on some key issues, he is way off target on others. He needs to realize that we even disagree amongst ourselves quite often. I get my daily dose of talk radio, Rush, Dr. Savage, Boortz, Levin and O'Reilly. Why does he always have to thrash a conservative i.e. Ann Coulter in the same breath when he's zapping a liberal? Let's just say that when some of us disagree with him, he needs to be "de-spun" on occasion. It's called "tough love" Mr. O'Reilly. The Great Oz has spoken.

FR is not a blog, it’s a message board, Bill.

Bingo! That’s why he ticks me off. Clueless on some issues and “not so much” on others.

Confidential to BO'R: define a “self-fulfilling prophesy,” Bill.

O’Reilly is in the demonizing business.... a Walter Winchell for our times.

I stopped listening to O’Reilly when he once attacked Jesse Helms for no reason other than to show liberals that he would also attack people “on the right”. I knew there was no “there there” after that.

O’Reilly is a professional popinjay.

that he was hated by Freerepublic

Impossible since FR does not speak but posters do.

I like Bill for so many things but as long as he has Wendy Murphy and Geraldo on as regulars, I will continue to tune out. They are malevolent individuals.

When he is 'on target' it is because he is talking about some simple thing that is easy to agree with and does not involve a lot of thought....like punishing child rapists to the fullest extent of the law. Beyond that, he is like most other reporters that are outside of their field. They can't do a decent story because they don't know the material. O'Reilly is different though because he shows little interest in learning the material.

Hopefully he will stick to Hollywood bimbos and various types of perverts but leave economics and science alone. I get so embarrassed for him I have to change the channel.

That was Pithy!

Seriously Bill, Get over it. You believe in Global Warming and Neoconservatism.

Bill is not always consistent. He does try to be. He is honest.

I think I identify with him very much.

Bill O’Reilly needs to come over here and defend himself, if he thinks he is the intellectual equal of the average Freeper. At least one radio talk show hosts maintains a Freeper ID and can stand up for himself.

Free advertising for FR. Let him go on and on about it as much as he wants. Every time the pundits mention the site, I would wager new sign ups increase significantly.

IMO, O’Reilly is a well-closeted liberal, albeit usually with morals.

It is clear that with regards to FR Bill is completely clueless

Oreilly is Greta Van Sustern lite. If he can find a story with a pretty woman in it he will run that instead of one that is a political bomb.
