I blogged about it the other day: Hate is not a family value its a Democrat(ick) one. (link goes to my blog, not DU)
It's not justified at either site. But it is NOT exclusively FR or conservative.
I believe that silent knight has been banned.
Living up to O’Reilly’s childish “centrist” standards is indeed a losing game. But letting someone—ANYONE—lie about us on national TV is a losing game as well.
I’ve only hit abuse once and that was last year or the year before when someone came in and started posting obscene photos on every thread. It was pretty early in the morning and the mods weren’t up yet.
I do have a thing about vulgar language and have asked to have posts pulled a few times because of it. Ironically, I did it yesterday on the first O’Reilly thread. ;)
I don’t think I’m anal about it, although I’m sure the freepers whose posts I’ve had pulled think I am.
Making the decision to request a post be pulled is not easy.
I was just reading a thread on sharia etiquette toward non-Muslims and Jews. I am fervently opposed to Islam and the advancement of it, but there were some posts in that thread that were borderline unacceptable to me. Posts like “kill muzzies/mooselims” (not in that thread, but I’ve seen them in the past) are not helpful at all to what I consider a very important discussion and they make the poster sound ignorant.
There is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, but there are those who don’t recognize it or don’t care. My general rule is if it’s something I wouldn’t sign my name to, then I probably shouldn’t post it.
Almost everyone, including me, blows it occasionally. So it’s important to remember that you can request to have your own post removed, if on a second read, it doesn’t sound so great.
Yeah, I read your link yesterday. I was refering to Kristinn comment that Fox News didn’t give him a link. I’m wondering, if any FReepers are Bill O’Reilly website premium members. What’s been posted on his website? Nothing offensive? It’s just pathetic, that these comments were all O’Reilly could come up with.
Maybe tomorrow night, he got pre-empted by the bridge collapse.
lol...I wouldn’t want to start any unsubstantiated rumors, gossip or any lies..
Like O’Reilly....
His account still looks active.
“OReillys greatest nightmare is Rush Limbaugh returning to television.”
LOL!!
bingo! First IMUs, now us. Queen Hillary has to marginalize those who would speak ill of her. Politics 101.
Hmmm, must have been some other troll that got Zotted.
It is. Maybe the mod just asked him/her to take a break.
Let's see if Bill O is on in 15 minutes in his regular 11:00 replay slot.
But that is what Bill O'Reilly does all the time. His show depends on controversy. If you notice though, Bill will never admit when he is wrong. He will only slowly moderate his opinion, like on the oil companies. We are basicly wasting our time. Those posts were mostly harmless. Although, the one about Hillary did go a little over the top. Most of those threads got little attention, so very little oversight.
I forgot about that. He may be.
Bill?
Who is this Bill?
Is this TV trickery?
*smile
By the way, he was going to have Dennis Miller on to comment on hate speech in the political arena.
