Kristinn, you did a fine job. I was appalled at the comments that Bill O'Reilly cited from Free Republic. I don't by any means read every thread posted here, but I don't recall reading anything like that here. If this place were infested with racists and advocates of violence against gays or politicians or whomever, I'd never post here again.

As an aside, O'Reilly is not a bad guy, but neither is he quite what he wants us to see him as. He often comes across as a scold about matters of morality, but then asks Jenna Jameson for copies of some of her porn videos, and tries to engage an employee in sexual antics involving loofahs and other tools of questionable provenance. I guess he deserves a bit of pity, though, because now that he's got all of that money and fame, he can't use it to cut loose because of his perceived 'role model' status.

I have been posting here since early 2001, and lurking for a lot longer than that. With very few exceptions, every racist thing I have ever read on this forum was either loudly condemned by other posters, or deleted by some excellent moderators.

Having said that, I refuse to go on any thread that even mentions homosexuality anymore, because of the obscene comments made on those threads. I also, was personally involved today in a conversation (or should I say I was appalled today by a response from a certain so called "Christian Conservative") about a certain candidates wife that was the most vile thing I had ever read in my life. This posters words "describing" the wife of the candidate was embarrassing, crude, and certainly juvenile. If BOR had read those on the air, I think we all would have been very embarrassed. And yes the thread still remains.

snarks_when_bored, you must be bored tonight.
