Hey, Bill!

You've got a tough job up there in the clouds riding herd over the folks. Apparently you're having problems with the folks speaking out against the America hating left. But that's ok. Just keep your eyes closed, ears plugged and your jaws flapping. Eventually the folks will tune you out and we'll all be better off for it.

FReepers:

We're taking flak so we know we're over the target. Fire at will! Fire for effect!

The real words refer to France

“You may as well rent a dinghy and go fishing with Fredo, because YOU PEOPLE ARE DEAD TO ME.”

- Dennis Miller, speaking to the French

Far too many posts on FR are below the belt, distracting, and juvenile. Some days it makes FR hard to read, a going berserk tabloid.

There's a big target above the belt, all the senseless feel good badmouthing is counter productive.

I got the same impression. Bill's criticism was overblown, but there was a lot a truth to it.

I would add to his beef. It's getting discussing wading through the subjects posted to find an engaging conservative topic being discussed.

Far, far too much junk, attracting kooks, being posted that have nothing to do with conservatism.

It’ll be interesting to see if he mentions this on the “Radio Factor” today.

Bill O'Reilly is the best journalist in the business! No one even came close to his Britney Spears coverage!

Interesting! Do you have a link for that? Is the forum public or for premium members only?

I don’t know...I kind of like some of the humor.

Check out the sidebar.

You can always find many posts of very serious articles.

Someone will at times interject some humor or stupid words, but just ignore it.

I usually just refresh latest post page, that can make it hard to find something worthwhile sometimes

There is no such thing as fair and balanced, you cannot make wrong right or right wrong.

Bill is an abomination.

Yet this is posted on his site: BillOReilly.com will not be held liable for any user activity on the message boards. We do not actively monitor user-submitted content.

Hmmmm, they do not actively monitor user-submitted content but he removes hate posts when ever they are put up on his site.

Last nite he told Dodd that there are never any vile posts on his site, and that he removes them immediately.

Never any...we remove them right away.

Kind of a lie upon a lie. Upon a lie. (math not my best subject, but I think three will do.)

He's been caught in so many lies, I quit counting.

Thanks. I have started posts so that they would appear in the side bar. Otherwise serious articles (IMO)posted may get only few responses. Bumping helps.

Another trick is to do a search of 'yourfavorite'users to see where the real discussion is.

It must really suck to be a “Dummie”. They are miserable all the time.
