Regarding Bill O'Reilly's attacks on FR: The best defense is a good offense

Vanity

That’s when I quit watching. He blamed the governor, school board, and several others who had no connection to the privately arranged proms. He accused many innocent people (some of them children) of racism. He showed clips of students from both proms, out of context, to make all the white students look like racists, and all the black students look like idiots. That’s when I realized he was a racist, and dishonest to boot.

For BOR to paint FR as a racist hate site is simply projection of his own racism and hatred.

Mr. O’Reilly, your down-fall is one of your own doing. Your drop in ratings is a direct result of your falsely inflated ego.

Rudely and constantly interrupting your ‘guests’, exposes an extreme insecurity that is visible to all viewers. “A closed mouth gathers no feet.”

Same here. He has become some sort of blowhard who never tires of hearing his own voice.
I wish they would give Ann Coulter a show..NOW THAT WOULD BE GOOD TV

Thanks, I’ll try to find the vid. I don’t watch BOR that often. Did he call us “pinheads”?

[Red Badger]

Don’t really know. I don’t watch the pompous buffoon...........

And why is everybody always firing at him?

O'Reilly and Lanny Davis just called Free Republic a Right Wing Hate site (July 30, 2007)

I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... Jim Robinson (July 31, 2007)

My one experience with BOR goes all the way back to the spring of 2000. This was the time of the first "Million Mom March", and the birth of Second Amendment Sisters , which occurred here on FR.

So, we each held our marches (SAS was able to get more than 5,000 people on our side there), and afterwards, BOR had a representive from the MMM on his show. He devoted one whole segment of his tv show to her, letting her talk uninterrupted. He refused to have a SASTER on.

I came back to FR and asked freepers to inundate him with messages to let us on, which they did, and we were finally given a spot on his show.

Our spokesperson went on, and was given all of 3 or 4 minutes to respond to the MMM's spot--and O'reilly talked over her the entire time. She was never able to make even one point.

Needless to say, I've never had any respect for the guy since then.

Geez, 63 replies already and it was just posted. This is a real storm.

How about restoring the “dog in a manger” post? Or at least explaining why the post was removed?

See my post #67, RB.

As far as I can tell MM seems to have nothing but paid staffers posting on their site. They wouldn’t touch this with a 10-foot twinkie.

Bill O’Reilly is too cute by half.

This thing with FreeRepublic is yet another BOR attempt to show what a nice middle-of-the-road loving sweet guy he is. Why BOR will for sure look into those nasty Freepers based only liberal kookoid requests and never mind the truth of their accusations or out-of-context quotes. It’s never about truth anyway.

I understand that BOR is Fox’s top guy but hand to God I think that’s just because he’s in that 8 pm slot and he’s been around forever. You get a happening, hip conservative in that slot...say Michelle Malkin, maybe my girl Laura if she wants it...and they’ll make BOR’s ratings look like John McCain’s polls.

I wouldn’t trust this guy with anything and some day he’s going to make one dirty phone call too many and that one he won’t survive.

Hey Bill O'Really?, here's how we treat trolls like you!

[gidget7]

Bill has done some good work, like with Jessica’s law, but other than that I have seen a left slant to his program, more so each year. I don’t watch anymore unless there is something or someone specific I want to see.

[Larry Lucido]

Should have been “Fire at Bill.”

(Uh, oh. This post will make the next BOR broadcast)

[gidget7]

“I have never seen anything here that even comes close to the hate, profanity, and filth, that permeates sites like Kos or DU.”

I will go even further, skimask, and say I have seen NONE of the hate, profanity, and filth. Healthy debate, yes, heated discussions, yes. People being free to speak their minds, yes. But never any hate or filth, and very seldom profanity, ->(only occasionally and it’s very mild.)
