Ack! It could be, but it’s not. Out of morbid curiosity, a little googling leads to O’Reilly’s non-fiction detective thriller “Those Who Trespass”. I just read an excerpt and it was pretty sleazy, to say the least. Sleazy enough that I think it would violate Free Republic’s posting standards if I reprinted it here. Yep, Bill O’Reilly’s own published writing is inappropriate content for a “hate site” such as this one.
After O’Reilly revealed the poison on the DailyKos a few days ago, it is likely that Leftwing Trolls from KOS came here and posted inflammatory postings to make FreeRepublic look bad or to make DailyKos look better by comparison.
I do not think that there would be Bill Oreilly haters on this website, at least not many.
Check when these nasty postings(that Bill referred to) were made, what are their dates.
You’ll probably find most were posted just in the past week.
Well put Melanie. I would have been really surprised if Jim or another spokesperson at FR had let this comment go from O’Reilly. In general, he’s a good man and was very surprised he would ever compare the good works of FR with leftist sites full of confused, self-absorbed Americans.
Yep, BOR has gotten this site completely wrong. Shame on him.
Bill O’Reilly tries very hard to come across as a populist, someone who voices the concerns of most of us, but he is just another self-promoting TV personality. When he settled with the woman who charged him with sexual impropriety, why was that settlement not revealed? On his broadcast, he said he would never speak of it again. Why? A lot of freepers have caught on to his number and have spoken out against his self-centered self-promotions. He hates that. His recent on air broadcast confirmed his desire to strike back at FreeRepublic for what some of us have rightly said about him. He is a fake, a phony, a fraud. He is nothing more than a guy from Long Island with lots of ideas about the way the world should be. And because he has a microphone and a camera, he thinks he is king and can’t believe that we all don’t agree.
I email BOR last night asking for the links he was referring to but haven’t heard anything back yet. Has anybody else heard back?
I think O'Reilly will ultimately look foolish for this.
Kristinn asked for documentation. If/when he gets it, I'm sure he'll make it available to all of us. Until then, IMO, that should be the focus..."Show us the documentation."
Again, IMO...if he hasn't received documentation by Thursday, we should bury FoxNews in e-mails, phone calls, and letters. I have free toll-free on my cell phone, and I'll bet a lot of Freepers do also. Let's waste no time on O'Reilly.
O'Reilly has an incentive to bury the documentation (IMO) because upon further examination I believe we'll find a whole bunch of nothing there.
Seeing that Bill O'Reilly pulled this boner in July, and it DOES illustrate a major attempt to 'balance' by misrepresentation, I feel BOR should be awarded the first monthy Award for July. What do you all think?

Yes, you’re right. It’s been a while. I’d be surprised if others didn’t come by and tell the folks that made such posts that they were over the line. Thanks for the response.
bill wants to be in the center.
he’s crossed swords with daily kos.
now he wants to balance things out with fr on the right.
problem: fr is not equivalent to daily kos.

I want to thank Melanie Morgan for her support of our troops and their mission. I support our troops and their mission too.
Bill O’Reilly is a sexual pevert who has no business being on television or radio.
She’s a hottie....but it looks like the air conditioning was definitely working in whatever building that is.
O'Reilly went on to add that they (at the Kos) seem to revel in hate.
If I were on with Bill I would've asked to see the posts in question. It seems from what I've seen so far, several of the "hate posts" turned out to be duds. That would've taken the air out of his charges right there. Bill does the same thing to Ann Coulter. He condemns left wing hate speech, but then says the right has it's own haters, too. Equating Ann Coulter with the crazies on the left.
Still, Bill O'Reilly uses his position as a national figure in a way that I'm thankful for. He goes after judges who are lenient on child abusers, he draws attention to the borders, he takes on the liberal media while he himself is a liberal.
It is intellectual laziness to equate Ann Coulter with the hate on the left just as it is to equate freerepublic with the Daily Kos. Perhaps, it comes naturally if you're a moderate Kool-Aid drinker?
“Didn’t BOR get himself into hot water with one of his underlings?
Caught on tape being raunchy with her or something?
Is that true and what became of it?
Don’t know, and would like to hear if anyone else heard of it.”
Go to the Smoking Gun website, and you’ll be able to find the transcript of the tapes posted there.
That’s another reason BOR doesn’t like Freepers...the transcript was posted on one of these BOR threads in the past few evenings.
