O'Reilly Factor Partial Transcript of the interview with Kristinn on 7-31-07 Transcript From the July 31 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor: "From the July 31 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor: O'REILLY: In the "Impact" segment tonight, as we've been reporting, the hate website Daily Kos has intimidated the Democratic presidential candidates with the exception of Senator Biden. So they are speaking at the Kos convention this coming weekend. There's no question that the most vile stuff imaginable is posted on this hate site and others like it. Now, some on the left justify the garbage by...

The Honorable Harold Ford, Jr. Chairman Democratic Leadership Council 600 Pennsylvania Ave., SE, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20003 Dear Rep. Ford, I appeared with you on the O’Reilly Factor on July 31, 2007, in my capacity as spokesman for FreeRepublic.com to discuss politics on the Internet. The host, Bill O’Reilly, falsely accused FreeRepublic.com of having the following comments on its site: "Homosexuals are dogs," "I hate blacks," "Hillary Clinton should be assassinated," and "A stray bullet should kill her." To be blunt, those comments were made up by the O’Reilly Factor. The O’Reilly Factor was not able to provide documentation...

The second annual gathering of the Daily Kos political blog starts this week in Chicago, and here's all you need to know about how influential the YearlyKos convention has become: Five top presidential candidates are going -- including front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, even though the Kos bloggers don't like her that much. Analysts say the community of liberal online activists -- the "netroots" -- has become not only a coveted constituency for the left but a legitimate threat to conservatives, who trail Democrats in online campaigning and fundraising. Another sign of the growing power of the Daily Kos convention...

From today's Washington Times "Inside the Beltway"column: Kristinn Taylor, president of the local Free Republic chapter, was walking through the concourse of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon when he spotted one of Saddam Hussein's attorneys, Ramsey Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson. "As we walked by each other in the uncrowded terminal, I made a slashing motion across my neck and said to him, 'It's too bad about Saddam,' " in reference to the deposed Iraqi tyrant's failed judicial appeal to avert his death sentence. At that point, he said, Mr. Clark "glanced...

Party 2006 – DC Chapter Christmas is the holiday to remember the birth of Jesus..., despite the questionable day chosen. . In the good old USA we use this holiday additionally for friendship and celebrations of those friendships for many weeks prior. In DC on December 9 the FReeper chapter had such a celebration. And what a grand one it was! God provided the good weather for our birthday party for his Son An outstanding day for the FReep in Olney earlier also… FReeper’s Trooprally (Mr.& Mrs) opened their charming home in park-like setting(yes, the deer came also!) and...

WASHINGTON - Think of the Dixie Chicks and you should be reminded of their extraordinary musical talent and best-selling CDs. Instead, thanks to “Shut Up & Sing” — a new documentary about the group’s foray into politics — the Chicks will likely be famous for flying their self-proclaimed victim banner once again. The documentary accurately and intimately portrays the Chicks’ tumultuous battle with angry Americans since lead singer Natalie Maines proclaimed from a London stage that she was ashamed that President George W. Bush hailed from her home state of Texas. The conservative blog Free Republic first focused attention —...

* Kristinn Taylor's Audio Report from Iraq - CLICK HERE TO LISTENKristinn's Written Dispatch from Monday, November 6, 2006: The families had an incredible day in Iraq today! In the morning, they met with American troops stationed outside Erbil. It was a very emotional meeting. One soldier is from the same town as one of our parents. Another mother arranged for the Gold Star flag to be delivered to the family of a soldier from one of the units stationed up here who was recently killed in action. The families presented the troops with a banner signed by Americans back...

In a stunning and historic trip under the utmost secrecy, a delegation of families of fallen U.S. troops have traveled to Iraq to counter critics of the war effort, just days before the Nov. 7 midterm elections. The delegation of “Gold Star Families” agreed to provide the Sacramento Union with an exclusive account of their trip to Iraq based on the assurance that news of their mission would not be published until they had safely left Amman, Jordan. So secret is their trip that even members of the Bush Administration were kept in the dark about their planned activities. They’ve...

Talk about cajones: FreeRepublic.com's Kristinn Taylor's got 'em. How so? the conservative website led the outcry against the once popular country band Dixie Chicks when singer Natalie Maines screeched how she hated that President Bush hailed from Texas. Well, last week at the Washington première of the Chicks' decidedly anti-Free Republic documentary, Shut Up and Sing, Taylor showed up. But he wasn't kicked out, reports our Elizabeth Green. The hosts at the lefty Center for American Progress invited him to join the group discussion, where he told the director the movie was a good one. Why go? "This was a...

WASHINGTON, DC, MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006--The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com and the online watchdog Accuracy in Media (www.AIM.org) held a press conference and demonstration Monday at the Washington, D.C., bureau of the New York Times to protest the newspaper's publishing of stories exposing national security intelligence programs. The two conservative groups called for the prosecution of New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Executive Editor Bill Keller and reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau for "giving aid and comfort to al-Qaida." The initial group of 14 FReepers, led by FreeRepublic's National Spokesman Kristinn Taylor, soon swelled to 29 protesters. They...

WASHINGTON, May 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A request on behalf of over 350 Gold Star families whose loved ones gave their lives in Operation Iraqi Freedom to not have the names of their fallen heroes used in the Eyes Wide Open anti-Iraq war display currently on exhibit at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was refused today by the organizer, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC.) The exhibit is cosponsored by several so-called antiwar groups, including one led by Cindy Sheehan, who herself has asked that her son's name not be used by President Bush. Kristinn Taylor, who has two...

Free Republic supports the War, while Military Families Speak Out is against the war and wants to pull our troops out of Iraq immediately.

Kristinn just called to say that he'll be on this afternoon to talk about the war, protesters, public opinion... I wasn't able to get much more information, because his phone is pretty busy right now. I think he said he'll be on during the 5:30 segment. For those of us who never watch Hardball, it starts at 5pm on the east coast.

Did you hear about Cindy Sheehan's letter to this administration, demanding a pull-out of the troops from Iraq? The one from this week, that is. Did you know that there's a group of protesters going to storm the White House to "End the reign of international criminals"? These are just a couple of issues Kristinn Taylor, longtime member and 8-year spokesman for Free Republic, will take on. Kristinn talks about the antics of the left and the supposed peace activists on Just A Woman Radio on KRLA with Lores Rizkalla this coming Sunday night. It'll be lots of fun! Don't...

I just received a phone call from Kristinn!! The DC Chapter of Protest Warriors obtained a permit for Code Pink’s side of the street today after the Pinko’s forgot to renew their permit. The blood dancers tried to stick it out for about 20-25 minutes before they tucked tail and retreated a block away to the closed entrance. Freepers and Protest Warriors now have all four corners outside the main entrance to WRAMC!

Kistinn is doing a live interview with KVI about WRAMC.

When MoveOn rallied at the White House, things didn’t go exactly as planned. The next time MoveOn.org's political team in Washington schedules a protest at the White House, they will undoubtedly check to make sure there are no competing demonstrations scheduled for the same place at the same time. If nothing else, that was the lesson of MoveOn's Hurricane Katrina protest today. The rally — designed to "tell President Bush to stop blaming local officials for his mistakes and acknowledge that budget cuts and indifference by his administration led to disaster in New Orleans and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast"...

Even as online pundits criticize traditional news organizations as slow, biased and technologically challenged, a group of bloggers is trying to use old-fashioned telephone conference calls to share their ideas with newspaper and television journalists. The bloggers, who describe themselves as liberal or progressive, say the conference calls are intended to counter what they regard as the much stronger influence of conservative pundits online. Bob Fertik, president of Democrats.com, the host of the two calls so far, views them as a step toward getting their reports out to mainstream news organizations. While there is no way to know precisely who...

The Web site began as a sort of Internet boutique for like-minded conservatives and libertarians, suspicious of federal power and angry at President Bill Clinton. Started in 1997 by a reclusive California conservative, freerepublic.com saw its membership blossom with Clinton's impeachment and the election of George W. Bush. Attention to the site reached a zenith last fall, when a "freeper" -- the group's moniker for its bloggers -- first discussed flaws in documents CBS News used in a report critical of Bush's National Guard service. ---Snip--- One participant working under the handle MD4BUSH, whose identity is unknown, drew Steffen into...

Protesters against global capitalism and the war in Iraq held twin demonstrations in Washington yesterday, carrying cardboard coffins and bowing their heads in prayer amid intense police security downtown. Both events were quiet, solemn gatherings that together drew several hundred people, far fewer than have rallied at antiwar and anti-globalization demonstrations in the city in recent years. ~snip~ Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of Free Republic, was helping to hold up a large sign that read, "Go to Hell Traitors: You Dishonor Our Dead on Hallowed Ground."~snip~

A horde of the pink unwashed descended on Fox News' headquarters in New York City yesterday afternoon to hold a "Shut-up-athon" against the number one cable news outlet in America. Led by Code Pink, the leftist feminist group founded to oppose the war on Iraq, about a thousand demonstrators filled the sidewalk in front of Fox's building on 6th Avenue at 48th Street. Police were everywhere to keep order, which they did with great success. FReepers Coleus, Laserlock, ELS, Trueblackman, kristinn and two lurkers held a counter-demonstration there to support Fox News and to educate the public about Code Pink's...

The Aug. 12 editorial did not mention one charge that gives credence to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth: that Sen. John F. Kerry lied when he repeatedly stated that he was on a mission in Cambodia on Christmas Day, 1968. In a floor speech in the Senate on March 17, 1986, Mr. Kerry said the memory of being in Cambodia that day was "seared" in him. Now that he has been challenged on that by his fellow officers, Mr. Kerry, through a spokesman, says his seared memory is now a "mistaken recollection" and he's not sure where he was...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As an experienced protester from the right, Raoul Deming has caused many politicians to become red-faced with frustration and rage.

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- As scandal at the New York Times raged to the forefront of the American consciousness two weeks ago, a group of activists affiliated with the Free Republic network and the Accuracy In Media watchdog group took matters into their own hands. In a rally held outside the New York Times bureau in Washington, DC on May 15th, activists called for the firing of Times executive editor Howell Raines as a "first step toward establishing the credibility of the newspaper." In an interview with Talon News Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the Washington, DC Chapter of the Free...
