I taped a segment on the O'Reilly Factor for airing tonight to defend Free Republic against charges that it is a hate site. The segment will air in the 'D block' around 8:35 p.m. EDT and rerun at 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. EDT.
Rather than tell how it went, I'll leave it for folks to watch and decide for themselves. I hope I did right by FR.
We'll be having company tonight as some of Bill O'Reilly's two million-plus viewers check out FR for themselves. So please bear that in mind as you comment tonight. The Daily Kos is waging a very nasty personal campaign of retribution against O'Reilly. No sense in us piling on. Let's use this as an opportunity to show people why FR is the best conservative site on the web.
In case you didn’t see Kristinn Taylor interviewed on O’Reilly, the video is now up on the Fox News site.
Here’s the link and then just look for Kristinn Taylor's photo, then click on that.

Racists would be called out probably before the moderators even saw the post! I loved ORs books, but Man, he can be an a**hat sometimes..
I believe he also mentioned that someone said that gays are pigs?

Good Job, Flaglady!
Welcome to FreeRepublic!
Welcome to FreeRepublic!
tHANKS MUCH.
ALL: I believe we should flood BOR with emails and site msgs pointing out his gross error in very blunt terms.
By his own standards, he is a hypocrite who must apologize to Kristnn and to FR.
LET’S E-FREEP HIM GOOD.
It WAS slander!
Oh my. O’Reilly humble? Gotta disagree on that one.
His show has really gone down the tubes. Mostly because of his arrogance. He seems to be trying to clone Rush. Doesn’t work for O’R though.
Rush beats them all.
Welcome to FreeRepublic!
talk with Michelle Malkin about htis issue and have her get Bill to make it crystal clear to his viewers that htis site is NOT a hate
This would have to be behind the scenes, since if Michelle publicly disputed Bill, she’d not be a substitute host for long!
I think you are wise and sadly, quite right. Excellent suggestion.
” Michelle publicly disputed Bill, she’d not be a substitute host for long!”
Malkin has publicly disputed Bill half a dozen times
on the Factor. I keep waiting for Bill to fire her.
Because freerepublic is full of a bunch of poopoo heads who post the facts at the rudygiulianitruthfile link.
Well said.
O’Reilly wasn’t so bad before he got so popular. I used to watch his show almost every night, years ago.
Please read my post again.
I didn’t say he won any humility medals.
And look who I said he was more humble than! LOL.
However, I do believe that he mostly knows he’s pretty human and in SOME respects doesn’t take himself as seriously as he tends to come across.
On the other hand, he’s used to being what—6’4” or 6’6” tall—a big man; a forceful man etc. and he doesn’t suffer fools gladly or easily.
But there are some signs of SOME authentic humility amidst all the forceful personality that capitalizes on what Watchman Nee would call “soul force” and on his personality, intellectual and verbal skills. BOR has tons of soul force and is not at all afraid to use it. There’s hazard in that but that’s him.
I have a sense that in a lot of situations, BOR would be self-effacing far more than your average politican. But in his role on TV, and even radio—he’s not going to give much ground, if at all and certainly not without a forceful fight.
And, to some degree, he uses his personna as currency. He knows he’s intimidating and uses it as a type of power with which to manipulate his guests . . .
I think part of it is trying to get a maximum amount of stuff in the times lot and part of it is the driven kind of way he SEEMS to live his life.
I think if the man was totally arrogant, he would not do a lot of the things he does nor do a good many of them in the tone and manner he does. He’s far from pure arrogance.
According to BO, “poopoo heads” is hate speech.
Try to curb that.
