I'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.
Okay, I’ll say it - - Bill O’Reilly is a liar.
This one will be fun to observe.
I have seen some bazaar posts over the years, but nothing like what O’Reilly’s claims.
I think it is our right to ask him for the URL about the statements that he quoted and he should give it to us.
BORE has lost his mind comparing FREEREPUBLIC with DAILYNUTCASES.....Been around Jerry Rivers to much.
I guess he missed the posts that actually took his side against Kos for what one of their posters did to him. Oh, well. Whatever brings him ratings.
Loofahman
O’Reilly’s primary “no spin” interest is O’Reilly. He needed some sort of right-leaning ‘foil’ to play against Kos and used FR for that purpose, to look “balanced” for “the folks”.
He’s taken a Bridge Too Far. Need a legal defense fund for libel, Boss?
I have requested the list of offensive comments with source links from Fox. I’m expecting a response tomorrow.
I think Bill should own all Freepers past and present PUBLIC Apology I doubt it he is p***y little liar

Bill O’Reilly’s outrageous and unfounded assertions about Free Republic are disgraceful.
He is a liar!
I have never seen anything like his comments here.
Jim, you should call him, invite him ‘on’ to disclose what it is he has.
If he doesn’t respond, well, the tactic is to ambush him in his driveway and shove a michrophone in his face.
Good for you Jim. My question, would a real racist say they hate “blacks”... or some other term? And would someone say a homosexual “is a dog”? If a poster is really “hateful” or racist”, I cannot imagine them using that nice language, they would have used language like Richards or Isaiah what’s his name.....
Never seen anything of the sort. Call his bluff
