A quick Google located this thread from 2001 that has the phrase "homosexuals are dogs" in it.

Unfortunately for O'Reilly, that was a comment in response to an article about Zimbabwe president, Robert Mugabe, who likened homosexuals to dogs.

O'Reilly, what a misleading accusation. I thought you called your show, "The No Spin Zone."

I'm dizzy.

BOR said today the comments he read he found them today on FR. I think the mods should look for the exact comments BOR said he found, cause I bet they are old comments, and not something posted recently, and probably taken out of context.

We stumbled across a short term sleeper troll a few weeks back. Something about a post seemed a little over the top so I did some digging and found comments about "rounding up the gays" and brought it to the attention of my fellow FReepers and before long he was gone.

Make one wonder how accurate all his other stories are. And puts one in awe of the power of the media to shape beliefs.
Now many, many Amreicans, as a result of this 5 minute segement, have a perception of FR overall as a right-wing hate site. (Inspite of Krintinn valiant efforts)

Do you think that is how BOR did the report. Putting in certain phrases and not putting them in context? Can we prove that? That would be important in disproving the BOR attack onFR.

Great catch. Someone. Everyone should e-mail O’Reilly that saw him say this and point out his mistake. I missed most of the segment, but am very dissappointed that O’Reilly does such poor research.

Bill O'Reilly really smeared Byron_the_Aussie and Jack Black. Calling someone racist without cause is hate speech.

Right on his show, on national TV. That's hate speech on his part. He has a hate TV show.

If someone googled the site for “I hate blacks” they could find it numerous times just on this thread - from all of us saying we’d never seen a comment like that here. If BO’R would check things in context once in awhile, it might be nice. That said, I’ve seen some nasty stuff thrown by the moderator in chief back around the time of the purge.

So why isn’t O’Reilley denouncing Reuters as a hatefilled website? That’s where that article is from. Wow, I knew he wasn’t he brightest bulb in the box, but know I know he isn’t honest either. Very sad that he’d lie like that.

This is utterly outrageous - when you look at that post it is obvious the phrase is not being asserted by the poster, who is merely citing what UBER-LEFTIST ROBERT MUGABE said. The poster is merely saying it’s not something to arrest someone over, which is supposed to be the standard freedom-of-speech position. Good heavens, liberals constantly defend the rights to free speech for totalitarian Nazis and communists. How dare BOR smear FR for one post that merely refers to what the LEFTIST Mugabe said.....
