Anybody watching OReily now? OReily says he'll point out and take to task any republicans going to right wing hate sites. Freerepublic was specifically mentioned.

My letter to BOR.

Bill,

Clinton apologist Lanny Davis has little room to talk about the right-wing 'hate' speech on FreeRepublic.com, he has little interest in exposing Hillary for what she is, a fraud. People at FR have exposed Rathergate, helped the Swift Boat group sink John Kerry and literally destroyed the LA Times attempt to smear Fred Thompson. In other words, FR has done RESPONSIBLE investigation of some of the nefarious activities taken by the left wing media, and Lanny is part of that. He would rather accuse others to justify the left-wing hate propoganda rather than answer the challenge. How typical.

Bill, YOU should peruse the website some afternoon and see what we talk about on FreeRepublic. As with ALL political sites there are those who spew hate of one type or another, however, Jim Robinson (owner), keeps that in check with excellent moderation. Check it out. www.FreeRepublic.com.

When a bubbly MICHELLE MALKIN was signing her book ‘INVASION’ at a Freedom Forum meeting in Garden Grove, about 5 years ago, she was so thrilled to see us Freepers there in person that she hed been folllowing here.

She just hugged her Little ALOHA RONNIE. Freepers connecting in person.

Can’t beat it.

MALKIN CLARITY Rules.

I turned it off when I learned Lanny Davis was on.

Apparently, I made another good decision.

I don’t care what O’Reilly thinks.

I care what he does.

His work on abortion mills is good....very good.

Some of his stuff is pretty PC and self serving.

He’s just soft...all that time with the big bucks in a “journalism tower”...they get myopic about culture war stuff and grow soft by being immersed in it...homosexuality for example.

Bill O has his flaws too...that stuff with his staff member musta stung a bit

but....he is ok sometimes....folks worry too much what people call them....especially if it’s racist or bigot

and people that use the word hate as a tool to deflect others are no better than what they claim to fight...calling someone a hater is a smear.

Do you call Hitler or Uncle Joe haters or do you refute what they stand for?

You are throwing the word HATE around way to freely. I do not hate O’Riley, I just think that he is an intolerable jerk!

So what? Your strong opinion is not germane to the topic of the thread. btw he reported last night that Boomers rate him the best newsman, or something like that. Anyway, your opinion is also out of step. You might examine what’s wrong with it.

Just sent this to BOR:
I just sent my letter to BOR:
“Mr. O’Reilly,

I just wanted to let you know that this “FReeper” was highly insulted to hear your guest Lanny Davis
on your Monday, July 30th episode insult the Free Republic.com conservative online group as a ‘right wing hate site’—
(although he called it ‘freedomrepublican.com’ or somesuch)—I was even more disappointed that you let that
insult slide by responding, not verbatim, along the lines of “Yeah, but Republican candidates steer clear of those
kinds of websites” and that you would go after any candidate that did.

I have been a member of Free Republic for several years now, and I have to say that it is NOWHERE near the
evil likes of Daily Kos or Democratic Underground or a number of the extreme leftist online groups out there in
cyberspace. The majority of FReepers are decent, conservative people who do not use the foul-mouthed type of
language or disgusting pictures that are so prevalent on the correctly labeled ‘online extremist leftist hate groups’ like
DK and DU. Of course, there are always extreme extremists (and I often wonder if they are ‘plants’ from DK and DU)
who make boneheaded comments on FR— it is an instrument of free speech after all. The group moderators remove such
types pretty quickly, in my experience, though, unlike the so-called mods at DK and DU, who often contribute to the
trash being posted!

Anyway, I wish you had pointed out to Mr. Davis that the only comparison between FR and DK/DU is that they both
take place in cyberspace and cannot be compared otherwise. Free Republic is NOT a right wing hate group, not by a
long shot. I know a lot of people on FR don’t like your radio show or tv show—I’ve always enjoyed them for the most
part, even when I’ve disagreed with your viewpoints. I’ve even written to you and offered prayers and support for you
in the past when it seemed you were being railroaded with those sexual misconduct charges awhile back. I’m a conservative
Republican (for now, not very happy with the party lately)—just an anonymous soccer mom who loves her country with
an un-apologetic fervor who wants the best our society can offer, not the worst it can withstand to the detriment of our
citizens...I’m not a ‘right wing hater’ by any means. I’m sorry you feel that FreeRepublic.com is such a thing. :-(

It isn’t.

It’s been recommended that people stop watching your show and that you correct this maligning viewpoint—it’s not my
place to keep anyone from their opinions and free speech—not even the DKers or DUers—or *YOU*. Doesn’t mean I
have to expose myself to that sort of stuff though. More’s the pity. :-(

Thank you,
Proud FReeper “pillut48” since 2004”

You want to know why Republicans NEVER control the agenda? Because NO ONE has the back bone to stand up to a liberal. NO ONE! It doesn’t matter if we control any government branch - ever. republicans simply do NOT have an ounce of courage to stand up for their convictions. They are losers!
Leftism is simply the idea that criticism is a higher activity than doing things. In its tyrannical forms it is rejection of any limit on criticism, leading to arbitrary government. And since journalism does nothing except to "point out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better," journalists are the natural allies of leftists.

In fact, the idea around which "liberalism" coheres is that NOTHING actually matters except PR. It takes courage and conviction to swim upstream of the propaganda of which so-called "objective" journalism is capable.

So it is after all understandable that public figures would be cautious in the face of that much unaccountable power. Even in the Internet/talk radio age.

The problem with Bill O’Reilly is he has been calling Free Republic an Extreme Right Wing blog for quite some time. He has been advising people that FreeRepublic is not a credible source for the public to get their information from yet he has Lanny Davis on his show representing the left side only of the internet?

Fair and balanced? I don't think so

Oh, I see. That’s the only setting you have. Try looking in the mirror to see a jerk, instead of projecting your judgment on others.

You speak wisely and I believe you are correct, although it is my position that the Republicans, as a whole, must band together and work to overcome this natural proclivity. I agree that it is a tough slog for one person, or a couple of people to overcome, but just what is the Republican Party for? What is the answer, just throw up our hands and say that liberals have the advantage and therefore deserve to control everything via default?

My larger point is that Republicans never seem to really stake out territory and defend it unashamedly. I completely understand that it is infinitely easier to be a liberal than it is to be a conservative. It is always easier to give away other people’s money, it is always easier to try and relax moral standards, it is always easier to want to give away things that have no cost to the giver. I understand all this, but it seems that there is no coordinated effort to respond to Democrats. It seems that the response is always to shrink back, turtle-like, and almost apologize for taking up oxygen on the planet. Where are the real leaders? Where are the real group of leaders? Must all Republicans be completely feckless?
