I agree with you partner ...this hammer of labeling even a site like FR as a hate site is absurd.
It’s just another way for a pompous ass like O’Reilly to preen about how fair and balanced he is....he wa looking for a foil to balance the obvious craziness at Kos.
And folks should not run for cover here to make him happy.
This whole concept of “hate” in political expression is a new politically correct smear and is usd just like calling folks racist or bigot....which O’Reilly does ad nauseum.
It is used to silence folks.
I’ve lost all respect for O’Reilly....fool me once shame on you. (the allegations of being out of line sexuallly with a staffer)
Fool me twice....(this made up smear on us)....it’s done O’Butthead. You ain’t worth spit.
Your detractors are right, O’Blowhard....you are a bully and full of yourself whalehead.
Don’t forget, he dismissed the Swifties too.
-—About 30% of my posts mock the French. What to do?-—
Throw in some mocking the Irish or the Brits. Then you’ll be fair and balanced!
It’s even more indicative of those networks being “hate networks” than the accusation against FR because O’Reilly was invited on to display his “hate speech”. A more analogous example would be some idiot barging his way in front of a TV camera and holding up a “Kill Drudge” sign and labeling the TV network by that sign.

I must strenuously disagree. I know I hit the abuse button when I see something that is offensive, and the majority of the time it is removed immediately. If you really are seeing so much "obscene" material here, why aren't you hitting the abuse button? For that matter, why would you remain here?
I think our Mods do a fantastic job, but the system relies on us doing our part as well.
Bears repeating, never post anything here that could ricochet on Jim Rob and FR.
That quote needs be shoved down O'Reilly's throat...
Don’t you think that maybe your pompous lecture accusing “so many” of the same tactics as KOS, was nullified by using profanity and misspellings in your post?
Don’t blow it. We do not want to make the KOS look good.
Follow the rules like Bill does. /s
Soooo..... What’s wrong with saying ‘my best friends are black, but’? Is that not allowed now too?
> So he made a booboo. If he is any kind of a man he will correct it. Bottom line is he looks out for our children.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I would not allow him to look after any child of my family, after his filthy novel _Those Who Trespass_, and his bullying “falafel” phone sex with employees. He is a degenerate, lying, hypocrite, much like Klintoon.
“The actual quote is ‘Homosexuals are the modern day dogs in the manger.’”
Can’t understand why this comment is objectionable. Are we supposed to stop using commonly-used metaphors simply becasue O’Really and his posse at FNC can’t understand English?
The more outrageous a comment, the more likely the person has just signed up on FR. I have seen some nasty noob posts in the last 2 weeks and have been pointing this out in the forum or hitting the abuse button.
It’s a shame that you weren’t more aggressive to O’Reilly. O’Reilly should practice what he preaches. He is a total lapdog when The Rev Sharpton (hate monger) appears on his show. I want to throw up.
I first came here in search of the Iraq translated documents and then sort of stuck around because this is a very unique place. I have found very little cussing — which is an oddity on the Internet — and everyone has fun and is quite knowledgeable on many varied subjects. I also love the format of this place in that articles are posted and discussed — as opposed to some chat forum.
FreeRepublic also exposes me to many of the wonderful military families that make up the backbone of this fine country and for that I am grateful.
Bill O’Reilly owes you an apology. If he is as principled a man as he portrays himself to be... then an apology should be forthcoming.
I find Bill O'Reilly increasingly irritating...and shallow.
Agreed. During the interview he says that DailyKos is, and I quote him, “”Far..FAR worse...just vile””
