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.

Good job.
Thanks! But that linkage is the linkage to my thread with the U tube video.
Thanks for the UTUBE Oreilly link. I don’t watch Bill anymore because of his rudeness and JUMP to CONCLUSION on all issues. This site is full of du trolls and we all can spot them in a ny second. But in case BO or DU is lurking on here... I will admit I have said I dispise the left and MSM, my mom said never say hate! So I have strong dislike for those on the far left. By the way, I do have some dimo friends who are very confussed because they get all of their news from cnn or other msm outlets and they are just not smart enough to find alternative forms of finding the true............ as in FREE REPUBLIC.
Hey Bill O’Reilly. Before bloviating anymore about FreeRepublic,howabout you actually PERSONALLY peruse the site a bit.Then peruse Democraticunderground.com and dailyKos.com YOURSELF.Fair and balanced? Hardly.
We report.....YOU decide (honestly).
Quit being such a lugubrious popinjay.
Heehee,Question is how much:)If we had one paid Mod they would be working night and day.Even that would not cover it all.
Could it just be that perhaps O’Reilly has the internet savvy of Larry King? Maybe they should both invest in a computer class at the local library.
I don’t think that’s the problem.
“Free Republic is my place, a place I come everyday because I find what I want here. And I love I love Free Republic.”
I am very conservative, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My husband and I kind of keep to ourselves because so many people in this area do not espouse our values. In this area it is very unpopular to be conservative.
FR gave me a place to speak the truth about how I feel. You can’t do it out in public too much anymore, at least not in our area. I know we all supposedly have 1st amendment rights and all that, but if I even hint at what I really believe in, I can be labeled a hypocrite(Christian), racist (against illegal immigration, don’t trust anyone from the religion of pieces), homophobic, (don’t believe in homosexuality or gay marriage), even though I don’t try to convert or judge people, don’t hate other religions, races, and I don’t hate gays, I just don’t agree with the lifestyle. Isn’t it hateful to put those kind of labels on someone just because they don’t happen to agree with you?
The only hate I can see on this site so far is the anger for the politicians who sold us out and don’t represent us, the hatred for the general lack of values in today’s society, and the continued contempt of the powers that be, who continue to destroy our country in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, diversity, the (not so much anymore)almighty dollar, and obtaining constituents.
Why is it hateful to want what is right? Why is it hateful to try and protect our sovereignty? Why is it hateful to enforce the immigration laws? I wouldn’t expect to be able to just waltz over the Canadian or Mexican border and demand a free ride just for being there.
We need FR. There are very few voices of reason and sanity left anymore. We’re sunk if we have to rely on the mainstream media. I’m tired of reporters and politicians telling me what I should believe in. I’m tired of the thought police. I’m tired of hate crimes-all murders are bad! I’m tired of the double standards and the lies. One side’s free speech is another side’s hatred.
Maybe people are really just afraid enough of us might get together and actually be able to do something about the mess we’re in. If enough people like us get out there and vote, they could be in a whole heap of trouble!
FR and sites like it help educate the masses. The powers that be don’t really want us to educate ourselves. They want us to medicate ourselves so we don’t really notice what’s going on. That’s probably another reason why they want the border wide open.
I have to run now. The black helicopters are landing./s
Yep, we are the folks and BOR hasn't a clue.
Thanks Albion!!!!
And you know you got family in Texas!!! Don’t call, don’t write, just show up. Both Central Texas and down in the Southeast corner (my father is laughing in the background, he says come on down!!!! We’ll BBQ!!)
Leo
Thank you for your kind words
Don't forget that the very talented Mrs. Olson used to post here frequently.
I wonder what she'd do with BOR if she were here?
Maybe if we reached out to MM or AC to set O'Reilly's head straight???
He's scared of both of them.

Remedial CondescensionAre We Sure This Is What We Want?
An obvious truth that one dare not utter: White America, and in particular the media, academia, and government, holds blacks in utter contempt. This becomes clear the moment one looks at behavior instead of asseveration. It is especially true of those people who imagine themselves to be liberal.
...
Institutional contempt breeds individual suspicion. For example, I will not take my children to a black doctor. The reason is not that I hate blacks. Rather it is affirmative action.

and don't forget this:
I estimate that for each member of FR who regularly posts here, there are 10 other people who feel the same way, but have no idea what FR is.
We are a microcosm of conservative society. A cross-section of America.
Thanks so much for writing. Every word you wrote is just the way I feel. We (our views) are not wanted to be heard from some folks. Our world is a bit upside down sometimes. Everything thats bad, is good to others, and everything thats good, is bad to others. Its certainly not like it was when I was growing up. We just have to bite our tongue sometimes in certain situations, I guess. I am a bit stubborn though and do speak my mind on occasion. But Free Republic is my refuge. I lost my hubby three years ago and while I was a member when he was living, it sure meant a lot more to me when I found myself alone. I don’t get to spend as much time as I would like on FR but I get on several times again. Nice hearing from you though, Cali!
I didn’t send it. Do it if you have time.
I just e-mailed post number 849 to BOR. Maybe if we all send him something, he’ll do more research and fix it, since he claims to be so “far and balanced”
Mmmm...pork!! Grazie tante, Leo!
