I received an e-mail today from the Fox News producer who booked me for the O'Reilly Factor last night. The links have been forwarded to Jim Robinson for review.
Jim asked me to start a thread with the links so that Freepers, and everyone else, could see for themselves what the fuss is about.
The Hillary Clinton stray bullet assassination comment was a very bad joke comment that someone posted two days ago. It was flagged last night after the O'Reilly Factor broadcast and was removed by a moderator. It is available for the time being in Google cache:
To: Virginia Ridgerunner I like my scenario better:
After eight years of the economy faltering, interest rates are 19%, 900,000 people are dead in Iraq since we left, taxes have gone up by 60% and Chile, Bolivia and Columbia are now Communist regimes, a stray bullet at a NARAL rally catches President Clinton and kills her.
As they take away Cindy Sheehan she screams why did she have to remove the troops? We were winning.
The next day the dow goes up 2000 points and closes at 2150.

Don't even bother trying to defend that one. Assassination jokes have no place on Free Republic. Yes, Cindy Sheehan has written of her fantasizies about killing President Bush--and she's not joking, but that's her problem. We're better than that.
The "homosexuals are dogs" comment is taken out of context. The actual quote is "Homosexuals are the modern day dogs in the manger." That was in reference to an article about proprieters in the U.K. not being allowed to deny hotel accomodations to homosexual couples on account of religious belief.
The American Heritage online dictionary gives this description for the phrase: dog in the manger, NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. dogs in the manger. One who prevents others from enjoying what one has no use for oneself. ETYMOLOGY: From a fable in which a dog prevented an ox from eating hay he did not want himself.
That comment was posted two days ago and has also been removed by the moderators. It is available for now in Google cache.
The "I hate blacks" comment was nowhere to be found in the other threads referenced.
The threads are about crime in the black community, gangsta culture and Jesse Jackson. Two of the threads are in the Smoky Backroom.

Was The post “The United States Under President Hillary Clinton” removed because it was something that never should have been posted at FR?
or Is Beyond Chron a site we can’t post from?
or was it removed to make BOR happy?
I’ve seen plenty of parodies on FR and there is at least one novel about Hitler winning WW2, but I forget the title.
I happened to have the “Factor” on while I was doing something else and I was surprised to hear the reference to Free Republic. Back during the Clinton era I used to read the posts for hours on end but when Clinton moved on I did too.
Anyway, I spent a couple of hours reading posts since O’R. made his charges and I was delighted to see that he was 100% wrong. The comments posted were often irreverent but also laugh out loud funny. Best wishes to all conservatives, always!
gee, alittle ‘hate speech’ coming from Mr. O, eh?? tsk, tsk, Billy...
.
I openly exposed Sean Hannity’s earlier recruiting and hiring of illegal aliens in construction and painting for his company and his “They are poor and need the work!” baloney
He got upset about that
Now Hannity is a big champion of border control and stopping illegal aliens
Several on the internet hit Hannity on that
Sometimes people need to be whacked with a 4x4 of truth
Turning into wimpy PC pansies is no way to win anything or convince or convert anyone
FR has to many wimps and appeasers and sleepers
And illegal aliens and Muzzie terrorists in drag too
Invariably he'll detail wrongdoers then offhandedly say, "The right does it too." No names. No examples. Just, "The right does it too."
As someone stated above, he's "doing moral equivalency for the sake of marketing himself."
A listener took him to task on that so now I guess he picks a name, any name as long as it's not a favorite of his. To him it matters not otherwise.
Well, he'll just do his whirling dervish routine and drop the entire matter.
He took Kerry's word over hundreds of Viet Nam vets with very, very few exceptions and never looked back. It's what he does.
Happy 9th anniversary, kristinn.
I looked at your posts in forum and I’m thinking you might be a troll.
[Sometimes people need to be whacked with a 4x4 of truth]
And it still wouldn’t change some minds. People get stubborn in their beliefs I think.
But you thoroughly read the threads and note who says what.
hee hee...I liked the part where he was whining about some of the posts pertaining to him...
outlandish,vile,hateful-how could anyone say such things about the Bloviator
Well after the “I hate blacks” lie how do we know you’re not lying
Billy pull up a chair and read what conservatives really think of you-you just sound like a blowhard pinhead
I don’t see obscenities or hateful disgusting comments.”
Maybe he means comments like this:

IMPEACH BUSH IMPEACH BUSH...
Bush is on television saying this is a defeat and the American public has been let down. WHERE DOES THIS MAN LIVE????????
NEVER again will I believe in Bush. Throw him and ALL the rest OUT OF OFFICE.
.
Sean used to be buddies with FReeper callers
Some of those have now gone off the reservation
Sean did get upset by criticism on FR
You can’t wake up many
But once in a while.....
Somehow Hannity even drags Alan Colmes to the borders and has gotten Colmes to change a bit
Standards? What standards.
Is there another parallel dimension of FR someplace? You are not describing the FR with which I am familiar. In fact, you are condemning it. Now I am offended finding your post one of the most despicable and offensive I have read in some time.
[But once in a while.....]
You know the saying, “if we can change one person...”
I have not watched Hannity in some time, did not know that about Alan.
Kristinn,
You did a great job on The O’ Factor last night.
I say, let’s just lay this thing to rest and keep on doing what we’ve always done. This proves one thing, the looney-left fears us enough to even manipulate Bill O’ into maligning us.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad.
At times, we, on Freerepublic, can get very frustrated.
Many things FREEREPUBLIC handled extremely well. Such as when the NYTimes was going after dirt on the children of Judge Roberts (after he was nominated by President Bush). These children were not even teenagers... What about some of the things done by the media?
Some of what is posted is out of frustration and related to events such as these -- an out of control liberal media.
One thing that was difficult to police on this FORUM was the Call Letters assigned to a Maui TV Station, and then retracted. Some articles/threads are difficult for the Moderators -- this was one that the MODERATORS have done an excellent job on.
It seems to me it would be wise to make the headline of this thread as accurate as possible.
Obviously BOR didn’t supply a link to the ‘I hate blacks’ comment. Perhaps ‘all links’ should be changed to ‘some links.’
BOR owes Jim Robinson and FR an apology.
Unfortunately, sometimes we have posts that are filled with lies by people with their heads you know where and who occasionally come here to post.
Post 55 is an example. It looks like some degenerate fool managed to hack into the account of silentknight and made the guy look like a real buffoon. I hope silentknight catches the guy.
As far as I know, it was just Kristinn that was on, not JR.
