Re: Your on-air bashing of Free Republic
So, you think that because one poster on FR comments that a diabetic supreme court nominee might not live to a ripe old age that all 350,000 of us are insensitive right-wing loons?
Got news for you pal. The owner of Free Republic (namely me) is diabetic and I've already lost one leg due to this despicable disease and the other leg looks like it's ready to fall off any day now. My sister died of complications brought on by juvenile diabetes at the tender age 43. I've out-lived her in years, but I don't think I'll be signing on to any life term judgeships. And I sure as hell wouldn't wish this disease on anyone else.
Hey, what can I say. My political enemies make fun of the one-legged old gimp every day of the week. Good thing I'm not as sensitive as you about such nonsensical non-issues.
And if it's impossible for a minority to be racist, then it's impossible for a diabetic to be insensitive. /sarc
But, I do agree with you on one thing. We FReepers are a bunch of right-wing loons, bitterly clinging to our guns and religion. And proud of it you elitist gasbag!

I would hope that a wise Irishman with the richness of hisYou need to work on YOUR sensitivity, pal. Please recognize that Racism and
experiences would more often than not reach a better
conclusion than a Hispanic female who hasn’t lived that life.

Some of us choose to fight back against liars and spinners, thank God.
Let me quote one of your sentences:
"Of course, this is not my website, but if it were, I would have contacted Mr. O'Reilly in a respectful way and explained the situation".
Now let me substitute some words to your message:
"I would have contacted President Kim II-sung in a respectful way and explained the situation."
Arrogant personalities don't pay any attention to wimpish protestations.
Case in point....when O'Reilly did his last weenie attack against FR, hundreds perhaps thousands of us emailed him respectfully and perhaps even a few disrespectfully.
At any rate, fat lot of good it did, didn't it!

Encore!
Jim, be my guest at Huntington Lake this summer. Drop me a line. Lets have some fun. You will enjoy. Regards!
Let me get this right. You don’t know me from Adam but because I had an opinion (which you disagreed with) as to how best to deal with O’Reilly in a way that may be beneficial to the integrity of this forum, I am now a “wimp” and the primary reason that the enemies of our Republic win so many battles? Now ya see there, that is exactly the sort of emotional commentary that I expect from the damned libs.
You compare a situation with a t.v. talkshow host to Kim Jong? That, madam, is only amusing in its absurdity.
I’ve written letters to Presidents, members of Congress, businessmen and principals when I’ve had a complaint and in my many years on this earth I have found that a respectful tone gets better results. That is only my experience and I dare say it isn’t an unusual one.
I believe in saber-rattling with our sworn enemies, and I believe in fighting them to the death when it is called for. O’Reilly isn’t important enough for such extreme dramatics, IN MY OPINION.
AMEN!!!
God, I’d pay a year’s wage to see this SOB shut his pie hole!
I'm sticking with my assessment that FR is irrelevant and eats its own.
Well then! GREAT response, my FRiend...
I’d add more but I imagine it’s already been said ...so Kudo’s to everyone for giving him a piece of your mind.
You KNOW that prayers continue for you...by a LOT of us...DAILY...
ROTFL! You tell ‘em Jim!
Keep it pithy :)
Personally, I find cannibalism to be quite tasteless and it also cuts down on the number of friends one can keep.
Thank you Jim.
He's a chicken. A loud mouth, self appreciating, elitist wannabe, user, big government pushing, chicken who hates competition like the plague.
Ok so because one comment about FR from O'Reilly, out of thousands (or maybe tens of thousands) comments means that O'Reilly is a bloviating windbag.
Gramps has diabetes...it's a freakin' well known FACT that he, AS A DIABETIC, won't live to be a ripe ole age without a bunch of junk happening...OR, he may not even MAKE it to a ripe old age.
Somewhere upthread (BO, that means earlier in this thread) the actual comment was posted, staytrue, and BO took it out of context.
Grow up, 0'Reilly.
He just doesn't like political discourse on the Internet. He wants it done away with like all self appointed, nanny, big government overloads.
