It made feel proud to be part of this site knowing we’re one of the leading, if not the leading Conservative forums.
BOR nit picked some negative quotes which, we all know, get past the Mods from time to time.
IMO, BOR’s criticism can only make us strive to be better. Nothing wrong with that!
Yes! I miss old posters like WILLSTAYFREE.
I watched the O’Reilly show yesterday and what I saw just validates my opinion of O’Reilly. He’s an overated gasbag that’s on the prowl for anything in skirts that he can check into a motel with. He points fingers at Free Republic because the people who frequent this site are capable of independent thought and don’t like Bill’s self serving agenda. Question, how much did you write that check for to your former female producer Bill? And what were you paying for before and after?

Apparently, BOR has quite a rep for intimidation. Interesting: Daily KOS didn’t like his jabs, either!
Thank you Melanie!

Geez, disappear a few days an something always happens. :-)
So the egotist thinks he’s bigger and better than FreeRepublic? Doesn’t surprise me. Not from the man who treated the Swiftboat vets with disdain though they were the ones with the facts on their side and kerry was the one with shifting stories.
The “god” of the cable world deigns to label a site that has provided more Responsible conservative political influence and more conservative grassroots citizenship a hate site. Yet his show does what? Nothing. He is one man pontificating on tv. Lest O’Reilly think otherwise, he should remember it is this same conservative grassroots (many that frequent this site) that give support to any conservative issue he champions. Without them (us) he’s nothing. Frequently they are already on the issue anyway, he just piggybacks onto the cause.
Maybe O’Reilly ought not to take his cue from the lowly polled politicians in Washington and stop attacking the people that helped him get where he is at. It didn’t serve them well, it isn’t serving him well.
Thanks Melanie!
BTTT!
I’ve always thought that OReilly was a pompous ass, now my opinion has diminished to the point that it contains too many words we’re not allowed to use here.
Has he posted that piece of paper he used to Sandbag Kristin yet??

Thank you Melanie for providing an eloquent, substantive response to this poseur. I spent a year in Marin County and you and Lee (and OV) made each morning a pleasure.
Harmless, if some of the FReepers here are correct both the dog comment and the I hate blacks comment were the titles of threads, and copies of the titles of the articles that were being discussed.
Yep. He’s really a chicken$#!& because he’s too worried those on the left think he’s a conservative. He makes this stuff up to “prove” his balance and to appeal to people who are ignorant of all these sites.
WTG Melanie Morgan!
BER revealed himself as an ignorant fool.
In defense of Bill O’Reilly - O’Reilly wants to be impartial. His attacks (justified) against Daily KOS were greeted with “But you don’t attack conservative blog sites like FreeRepublic.” OK, so O’Reilly demonstrates that he is “fair.”
But, Bill, ANY blog site contains idiots who spout off inappropriately. Daily KOS lets the idiots reign, Jim Robinson has banned posters for inappropriate (and libelous) posts. While Freep is not perfect, it is a great source of information that I cannot get from MSM or NewsMax.
Bill O’Reilly is entitled to his own opinion, even if they are incorrect. But he is still a fan of calling all sides on the carpet.
I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but...
Posted on 07/31/2007 8:35:37 PM PDT by Jim RobinsonI'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... on his TV show today, he read off a laundry list of ridiculous "hate" statements like "I hate blacks," "Hillary should be assassinated" and "homosexuals are dogs" that he said he personally found on Free Republic and claims that they were posted here today.
I do not believe that. I doubt that he personally logged on to FR and I doubt he found any such thing posted here today.
Who knows what we may have missed and is buried deep in our archives of millions of posts, but our readers do a pretty good job of alerting us to anything out of bounds that is posted and we pull it. Also, one of our readers found a couple of the quotes he alleges, and if they are the ones O'Reilly is complaining about, he took them way out of context. They were simply quotes in the articles posted not statements posted by FReepers.
As soon as he provides me a list of the alleged posts and their URLs, I'll believe him. If he doesn't... then... well, guess he'll deserve to be known as what he is.
