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.

He’s still mad because he was caught in his suck-ups to Jon Cary in the 2004 campaign, his nasty assault on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, etc. Look Bill O., you’re better than all of the leftist ‘RATs in the media and Demagogic Party, but sometimes you do pander to them. Is that because you really don’t know that Jon Cary and pals are vicious lying frauds, or is it simply a cynical ratings ploy because you fear being marginalized if you reveal the ‘RATs for what they really are? I can’t see that you could have many viewers from the Demagogic left, Bill, so why don’t you just let ‘er rip on them the way you do against child molesters, etc.?? btw, Bill, don’t forget who has done so much to give free license to all the scumbag criminals, pedophiles and molesters, etc. that you so rightly denounce? The ‘RATs like Ted Kennedy, Jon Cary and pals are precisely the source of all the assaults on the rule of law and the increase in criminality over the past 40+ years.

Stop worrying about FreeRepublic, Bill, and focus your attention on your real enemies!!

Bill seems to be falling in the ratings. Here in SW Fla.
he has been taken off of several stations. He needs to
lash out at someone/thing so why not us.

After all didn’t we beat him to the story of the
disgraced ex-news reader dan Blathers demise?

Sour grapes hey Billy boy?? LOL

>> That was Pithy!

Yeah, BOR is nothing if not a bucket of warm Pith.

I tuned him out during the 2004 election. It was painful watching him equivocate, and he really botched one-on-one interviews. He came off looking stupid and inarticulate. He can bloviate but he has trouble thinking, IMO.

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.

Well, yes, me too.

I think O'Reilly early on realized that being a "maverick" would be his ticket to more viewers. Let's face it, he's a watered-down version of the radio "shock jock".

Because Ann sells more books than Bill does.

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

You mean aside from a sexual harassment claim a few years ago?

Bingo!

He has been great going after Tiller the Killer and the abortionists, but horrible on other things.

Theodore R. said: "I stopped listening to O’Reilly when ..."

I stopped listening to O'Reilly when he ignorantly claimed that the so-called Assault Weapons Ban was a restriction on purchase of machine guns.

I emailed asking for a correction but received no response and have heard no retraction of his ignorant claims. Best he should be replaced by somebody who values knowledge and truth.

I never was a BOR fan, even though I often agree with him. If I had to guess, I’d bet he’s known around the studio as a premadona.
