I’m watching it now, and you are doing great.

O’Reilly is unrealistic suggesting “paid professional moderators” for this site. But then again, that sounds a lot like “leave journalism to the pros.” LOL.

This website costs thousands of dollars a month. To pay for "professional" moderators is outrageous.

O'Reilly lives in a rarified atmosphere, where money is not an obstacle.

Why is that unrealistic?
The current mods all seem to have different standards and none of the so-called “rules” are enforced equally.

Over the past year, I have been visiting this site less & less. The atmosphere is hateful and the mass bannings of old time freepers who were accused of ridiculous things was just embarrassing.

This site used to be great. That has not been the case for quite some time. This used to be a site with intellectual debates instead of name calling. This site used to be fun as well as respectful. The growth & popularity of this site along with uneven rule enforcement & bizarre bannings has been it's downfall.

Those who don't see that are probably among the intolerant or too new to know better.

I remember watching O'Reilly after 9/11 when he was going after the Red Cross because they intended to keep some of the 9/11 donations in their general fund rather than disbursing all of the donations to the families of the victims. The particular night I was watching, he had Kurt Russell on and was saying that there needed to be a new federal agency to keep an eye on chartiable organizations like the Red Cross. Russell was pretty good - he said that was a horrible idea and that the last thing we needed was another expansion of the federal gov't. O'Reilly the Smug looked at Russell like he was going to pat him on the head and said "Well then, if we don't have a federal agency to keep an eye on them, who job is it going to be watch them." Russell responded "You Bill. It's your job to keep an eye on them." O'Reilly was caught flat-footed by that answer - and I must say - a speechless O'Reilly is a beautiful sight to behold.

I figured he'd recommend President Bush step in and appoint a commission to monitor FR. It seems that no matter what the issue, Bill O. thinks a commission is necessary.

That reminds me, the worst, hate-filled comments I have ever seen were on the AOL news page. And they used to have “professional” monitors. It’s all a farce. You can’t keep haters and idiots from subscribing to the internet. And if this was a hate site, none of us would be here.

Yep, us damn free-thinking, opinionated right wing nut jobs need some professional thought police to make sure we walk the line.

Bingo! You nailed it bud!
