He has to be pressed to provide the links.... it’s especially suspicious since he says the posts just went up .....

He didn't exactly say the bad messages were just posted today, he said that they are on the web site today. Well, this web site has existed for over ten years, and the archives here go back at least to 1999. There must be millions of messages posted here. One could probably search Google for any sort of phrase and find it here in the archives.

During the interview, O'Reilly did not permit Kristinn to see the sheet of paper he was waving around containing the purported comments. So, we don't really know the context of the alleged statements.

Here is a Google search of FR for "I hate blacks". In each instance that I see, that phrase is being condemned, mostly as part of a discussion about an article published at AsianWeek.com. Using Google to search DailyKos for the phrase shows a few similar results there. A Google search of FR for "gays are dogs" shows zero results.

Before today, when people are quoting the vile phrases simply to refute what BOR said about FR, the only use of the ‘dogs’ slur against homosexuals that I can find with a Google search of FR is from 2001 in a post that is citing what leftist Robert Mugabe supposedly said, only to assert that Mugabe (or anyone) should not be arrested over a free speech issue. In other words, far from asserting the truth of that phrase, the poster is merely making a free speech point about Mugabe’s own words..... if THAT is what BOR is relying upon this really is hit-and-run smear job.

From 2001:

The 77-year-old Mugabe, in power since the former Rhodesia gained independence from Britain in 1980, has denounced homosexuals as "worse than dogs and pigs".

The Dog comment was in the main area of the post also. In an article quoting Mugabe. It was in a post, the same as the I hate Blacks comment.

I do think you are right, he spun the words he used. He said "found on your website today."

I did think he said posted today, but I misheard.

Sly old deceiver ain't he?

I see that Jim has already addressed O'Reilly's allegations in this post: I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... - and one isolated instance of O'Reilly's allegations was found and deleted. One lousy post that slipped through - and O'Reilly labels FR as a hate site.
