There is no reason to sugar coat what O'Reilly did on 7-31-07. If the producer sent the information that O'Reilly based his comments on to Kristinn, he has to be lying. Look at the bold above on the transcript above. He claims he found them. If he did and the links the producers gave Kristinn are it, anybody can see the grossly dishonest way they were used. The most serious ,"I hate Blacks" comment is NOWHERE to be found on the links and the comment was used TWICE on the program.

Tonight in answering his viewer mail he makes the a smarmy comment, "“Free Republic Needs a full time monitor.” or words to that effect." After sandbagging Kristinn and taking some cheap shots at FR to provide the illusion that he is "fair and balanced", he wants to move on. I don't think so.

Bill O’Reilly = Hillary Clinton with a scrotum.

O'REILLY: But here -- let me give you -- let me give you some advice. That's the same argument that the left-wing Nazi hate sites make -- that it's not really them; it's others.

O'Reilly's logic is stupid.

O’Reilly is a creep.

O’Reilly: Liberal Jews Are All Big-City Newspapers Have Left
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1671430/posts

...and Bill O’Reilly’s conspiracy propaganda claiming that Jewish people are trying to abolish Christmas trees and the like.

O'Reilly is just angry that many at Free Republic are not in complete worship of him as some conservative deity. The things he says he found, I've never seen.

The closest thing to "hate" found on FR might be our unbending condemnation of the Islamic push to rule the world.

If O'Reilly wants to take up the Islamic side and bash us, well then he has lost all credibility. I know Geraldo is not happy with us at all over illegals.

O’Reilly blew it! He needs to sincerely apologize at the very least. I seem to remember a similar situation here in Fresno when a city-sponsored group called FR a “hate group” on city stationary. There was a big ruckus and Jim Robinson won.

Oh man, you are in trouble!

You just called O’Reilly a “Limey.”

Now that will make the Irishman mad!

O'Reilly just slammed us again in his letters section. I turned it over a couple of minutes early to watch Hannity & Colmes.

Someone wrote in that 100% of the bad postings were plants and BOR said there is no way to know that, but Free Republic needs a full time monitor which it doesn't have today.

It is clear to me that he got his gigantic little ego bruised and now he wants to make us pay! I truly believe he is positioning himself in a good light for the Senate hearings on the new "Fairness Doctrine" because he feels that Empress Hillary will become President.

We have a perfect chance to prove the Cable Channel Personality corollary to the unified idiom of the Peter Principle.

The fact of the matter is that Bill O’Reilly is a big mouthed showman who sets up these situations to get some sparks and he plays gotcha-games with the guests he brings on his show, and he hides behind the whole ‘no spin zone’ BS (while he is madly spinning his own views), and anyone who disagrees with him, is labeled a ‘bloviator’ or worse.

What this really tells us is that O’Reilly is running out of tricks, and he’s trying to gin up some new controversies to keep his numbers up there.

And the bottom line?

Bill O’Reilly has begun the process of being ‘Ratherized’ right here on FR, because he is just as guilty of spewing hate, lies and trying to incite murder (Matt Drudge) as any hatemonger out there.

O’Reilly has met the enemy, and it’s the same face he sees in the mirror every morning.

If I were on with Bill I would've asked to see the posts in question and not allow him to ambush me with them. That would've taken the air out of his charges right there. Anti-Bubba's thread demonstrates that his comparison of hate speech between the Daily Kos and freerepublic are disingenuous.

Bill does the same thing to Ann Coulter. He condemns left wing hate speech, but then says the right has it's own haters, too. Equating Ann Coulter with the crazies on the left. Ann is a polarizing writer, but that doesn't make her a hater.

To his credit, O’Reilly noted that the amount of controversial content at FreeRepublic pales in comparison to that which appears on a near-daily basis at DailyKos. O'Reilly went on to add that they (at the Kos) seem to revel in hate.

Still, Bill O'Reilly uses his position as a national figure in a way that I'm thankful for. He goes after judges who are lenient on child abusers, he draws attention to the borders, he takes on the liberal media while he himself is a liberal pinhead. It is intellectual laziness to equate Ann Coulter with the hate on the left just as it is to equate freerepublic with the Daily Kos. Perhaps, it comes naturally if you're a Independent Kool-Aid drinker?

Time to boycott O’Reilly. When he comes on...turn him off, and let FOXNEWS know that you’re doing it.

Character assasination plain and simple.

We've all been slandered to some degree.

We MUST make him retract and admit he lied.

We need to BOYCOTT FOX NEWS and email daily until such time as O'Reilly retracts, publically.

Bill O'Reilly is not an intelligent man.  He is a clever man.

You can't win a pissing contest with a clever man when he controls the playing field because he will change the rules.  You can't win a pissing contest with an intelligent man because he won't unzip his pants if he knows he's going to lose.

We shouldn't get into a tizzy over Bill because he will simply mischaracterize and/or lie to make his point.  That's the name of his game.

Someone like Dennis Prager - a thinking man - wouldn't even have breached this subject because he knows that the exceptions don't make the rule.

The worst we could do to Bill is ignore him for the prat that he is.

Could somebody tell me when the part-time moderator goes home, so I can post what I really think of the BOR?

You know, I think everyone here should find every blog and bulletin board on Fox News and type in:

‘Hey, Bill: “I HATE BLACKS!” See, it’s on Fox.’

Here is a post I made from yesterday. It’s about the blacks comment. I saw it and then I saw it disappear and the poster got booted...in under two minutes. It was up there and I was shocked to read it, and then poof! he and it were gone. I’d say that’s pretty good moderating on the part of the Mod who banned that poster. It only proves that this volunteer system works. If anything, BOR’s statement about a full-time, paid moderator smacks of nanny state thinking. Anyway, it did happen and it is a good thing for us that it did. Just doesn’t look like it right now...!!
____________________________________________________________

Dear Volunteer Moderator:
Thank you for your service to Free Republic, maybe you don’t hear that very often!

You can go back to the earliest Michael Vick threads (sorry, I don’t know which one) and one poster made a horrible statement about black people. Two posts down, he was thrown off. I was pretty impressed with the speed of the banning, and thought that the “mods” were really on their game that day. May I suggest that you look over your lists of banees and find that one as the AdMod was pretty frank and straight up in his remarks. Then you should take all banned posts, all response times, and all AdMod remarks and send them to Bad Boyfriend Bill. Good Luck to you and all the great people here who work to make Free Republic the most excellent and responsible site on the Web.

Does BOR provide transcripts to his letters? I missed it and I want to follow as his Dan Rather moment slowly comes to life.
