Can’t you post your thoughts without taking the Lord’s Name in vain??? I find that extremely offensive.

O’Reilly used Freerepublic to pull up his rating.

I don’t understand FR sometimes at all.

We don’t always agree with BOR, and he’s been unfair to us. But he is a powerful voice against the secular progressive left, and one of the few main broadcasters to take on the ACLE and the attacks against Christianity and Christmas.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Especially when he has such a powerful pulpit. And he WAS smeared.

Who cares?

After all, this assclown is an arrogant, bombastic RINO from NYC (bluest-of-blue Nanny/Police-State), just like rudolph-the-rino.

That “little girl” was a 37 yr. old MBA, and it was phone necking, nothing physical. What does that have to do with this budding witch hunt?

Sorry, EGD, I am on Bill's side on this one.

I was flipping channels this evening and saw the CNN Hit Piece and that is what it was pure and simple, a CNN hit piece aimed at knocking their competition off the air.

I long ago stopped watching BOR, but there is a huge difference between his hard style of reporting, when he goes after someone, vs. CNN purposefully running around a Harlem restaurant and looking for people to attack BOR.

CNN is desperate and despicable.

How are their ratings, btw?

He’s right, he is getting smeared. And he is a thin-skinned crybaby, and he did smear the Swifties, and FR. It’s all true, but at least O’reilly has a huge platform to fight back from, unlike the average American, who is smeared and insulted by the left every day.

Thanks Still Care for coming to Bill’s defense. While he may not take the right’s position every time, I do believe he is one in the media who still looks for the truth.

He’s been coming down on Soros pretty heavy in recent weeks, this Media Matters smear is no surprise.

People, people, people. You might hate O’Reilly with a passion. Stand in line. There is something far more insidious going on here.

First, you take out Imus. That’s easy. He’s paid to make crude, inflamatory, bigoted statements. Out he goes. You try to get Savage for some minor quibble, surround his studio with illegal immigrant supporters, scream and yell. It doesn’t work; maybe next time. Now aim for O’Reilly. He’s a big, bloated target who sometimes doesn’t exactly match his opinions to the facts. Call him a racist. Wear him down. You’ll notice that O’Reilly has few fans in the corner of the political spectrum which defends free speech. I’ve read the gleeful commentary here about how this couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Those targeting O’Reilly know this, which is why he is the target.

Will someone out there kindly quote Saul Alinsky about the use of character assassination and rumor to destroy the opposition? Nah, it feels too good to watch O’Reilly squirm.

This is a pattern of behavior targeting people perceived to be conservatives, in my opinion. If I’m wrong, good. If not, God help us.

Not to mention that report by the Clintonista who said talk radio was unbalanced and needed reform, and all the mention of bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

Wasn’t he using a loofa? Or was it a loufa?

Yes, she did disappear quickly.

His audience from FR disappeared even faster.

The trouble with some of you out there is this: O’Reilly himself has often said that just because they make a bad, it is not right for us to do so too and then say, well they do it. That is what is going on here. O’Reilly makes mistakes but his overall show is for protecting kids against perverts, getting rid of left wing soft judges and much more. So he has an ego, throwing the baby out with the bath water is stupid. I say, very stupid. So your nose got bent out of shape when Bill said something about FR. That pissed me off too but look at the left wing media as a whole and Bill is more your friend than not. Quoting Forrest Gump.... and that’s all I have to say about that.

...and Freepers, don;t forget Freepers who are routinely and unfairly smeared every day.

Want a cliche?
FOR Christ’s Sake, and anything Holy, would u people
“stop cutting your nose to spite all our faces?”

Bill OReilly has been THE biggest & most decent
commentator on Traditional issues, morality
& 90% fair in general.
With 80% of AIR TIME & print, & Hollywood these days taken up by extreme Left Wing radicals,, why can’t u reconcile
his occasional screw up?

I’ve been a lurker here & even sent some $ from day one!
I am baffled at the stubbornness on this self destructive stance on OReilly.
Love u people, love this Forum, but please rethink this,, please!

I do believe he is one in the media who still looks for the truth.

It's really, really easy to find "the truth" about FreeRepublic and he went out of his way to ignore it in order to facilitate an imaginary story for his stupid idea of "balance."
