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!
Name and town, name and town:

Bill O’Reilly is a legend in his own mind.
Jim Robinson is the ultimate arbiter of what is--and what is not--beneficial to this forum. If you want your opinion of forum integrity to matter, follow in Mr. Robinson's footsteps and start your very own forum.
Let us know how that works out for ya!
I haven’t watched that windbag for several years now.
Post #338...I guess adlucem is learning the meaning of “irrelevant” now!!!
Does Bill O’Reilly really think his friend Tony Snow would have been participating on a right-wing hate site?
B.O.’s middle initial is L.!
Give ‘em hell, Jim!
HeeHee! As soon as BO pulled that beaut, I knew it wouldn’t be long for FR to react.
BO can dish it out, but he can’t take it. He thought he was so clever, but he confused reality with whatever point he was trying to make.
I hope his e-mail box crashes.
...so when is Bill flying Jim out to the FOX studios to issue that on-air apology? :-)
1. You were a “newbie” once yourself. I don’t know when the label, “newbie”, wears off, but being a so-called, “newbie”, does not mean that I am not a conservative deserving of the same respect that you may have here, nor does it mean that because of my “status”, I shouldn’t be allowed to voice an opinion. If that was the case, why would anyone ever register on this forum?
2. What “history” does this forum have with O’Reilly?
3. My comment only reflected my opinion as to how I would have approached a situation such as this in a way that I felt could have positive results.
4. There is always room for improvement and continuing education in our lives, so I do hope to continue to “wise up” as long as I am alive. I pray you do as well.
He's misinformed, and he ought to know better. If he spent just a few hours looking around FR himself, he'd know that.
Always knew you were a busy guy, Jim. But apparently you are literally the proverbial one legged man in an ass kicking contest. ;)
Didn’t know about your battle with Diabetes, but wishing you well in fighting that as well.
His questions even today are just long soliloquies which require the guests to sit there and be preached to. PSHAW!
Yes, I did realize to whom I was voicing an opinion to. Was I wrong in doing so? Did I break a forum rule? If so, I do apologize.
For some reason, that strikes me as really funny.
It's speculating on the truth and the future. We want Cheney to run for President but more than one has mentioned his age and heart problems. When McCain was running, we wondered about his health and the skin cancer.
I don't think it's objectionable to speculate on the future and what might nor might not happen.
I admire you, Mr. Robinson, for running a forum like this (which I know requires a tremendous amount of your time and attention) despite your “disability”. Diabetes is rougher on people than most people know...
You are an inspiration. I admire you and wish you well.

I don’t watch O’Reilly. He’s a Trojan horse. Boycott the SOB.
