Any objective, reasonable and impartial examination of what was said would conclude that what has been asserted is baseless and without merit.
O'Reilly gave Lanny Davis his tacit agreement, that there are the same hateful postings on FreedomRepublic.com (sic) as exposed from Daily KOS. This implication by comparison suggested that there are vile and vulgar Right-wing illustrations and writings on FR.
O'Reilly reinforced that impression through the rest of the segment by attempting to counter Davis' leftist whine by saying that our Republican candidates steer clear of Evil Right-wing Internet Hate sites of which the only conservative site named was FR.
I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but...
Posted on 07/31/2007 8:35:37 PM PDT by Jim RobinsonI'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... on his TV show today, he read off a laundry list of ridiculous "hate" statements like "I hate blacks," "Hillary should be assassinated" and "homosexuals are dogs" that he said he personally found on Free Republic and claims that they were posted here today.
I do not believe that. I doubt that he personally logged on to FR and I doubt he found any such thing posted here today.
Who knows what we may have missed and is buried deep in our archives of millions of posts, but our readers do a pretty good job of alerting us to anything out of bounds that is posted and we pull it. Also, one of our readers found a couple of the quotes he alleges, and if they are the ones O'Reilly is complaining about, he took them way out of context. They were simply quotes in the articles posted not statements posted by FReepers.
As soon as he provides me a list of the alleged posts and their URLs, I'll believe him. If he doesn't... then... well, guess he'll deserve to be known as what he is.
