Woa nelly, you really told him off. I’m sure now he’ll regard you and those of us who post on this forum as calm and rational conservatives who discuss issues and problems with maturity and wisdom. Then again.....probably not.
I didn’t catch his show tonight but I hope to see or at least read the transcript. O’Reilly has made it known that he does not have much use for the Internet so any research that is done is most likely done by those who work for him. Because this website is a conservative website it would make sense that it is being looked at in order to read about what conservatives are saying about the important issues of the day.
Of course this is not my website, but if it were, I would have contacted Mr. O’Reilly in a respectful way and explained the situation. Not all posts can be caught, not all posts reflect the opinion of the majority of posters, etc. I would think that if a person or a group didn’t want to be considered a bunch of collective wackos, then the intelligent thing to do would be not to act like a raving wacko.
I watch BOR just about every day. I agree with his opinions as often as I disagree with them. Those who say he has given Obama a pass either aren’t watching his show or are missing a good deal of it. In my opinion, this forum would have been wiser to respectfully contact O’Reilly and explain how one comment does not reflect the views of the vast majority of those who post here.
Some of us choose to fight back against liars and spinners, thank God.
Let me quote one of your sentences:
"Of course, this is not my website, but if it were, I would have contacted Mr. O'Reilly in a respectful way and explained the situation".
Now let me substitute some words to your message:
"I would have contacted President Kim II-sung in a respectful way and explained the situation."
Arrogant personalities don't pay any attention to wimpish protestations.
Case in point....when O'Reilly did his last weenie attack against FR, hundreds perhaps thousands of us emailed him respectfully and perhaps even a few disrespectfully.
At any rate, fat lot of good it did, didn't it!

You’re somewhat new here. Do you realize who you were...ahem....offering advice to in your post?
Not so. He gushed over Zero (especially after his interview of Barry) and confidently predicted he would govern from the center. BOR is just now starting to catch up with what we knew from the beginning of The Manchurian Candidate's campaign. BOR ignores the obvious in order to appeal to his viewers who's intelligence falls left-of-center on the bell curve.
Post 191.
I know what you’re saying, but awhile back (maybe a couple years ago) Kristinn went on O’Reilly and tried to defend against a similar complaint by BOR only to be replied to with “well, pay more people to moderate” or something similar. Kristinn tried to explain that it’s impossible to catch every questionable comment and that it costs money to hire more people, etc., to no avail. IMO, if that’s the best BOR can come up with (the diabetes quote), it’s obvious he’s looking for anything to criticize FR with so he can appear “fair and balanced.” FR compared to DU or any number of left-wacko sites is saintly. But, no doubt, now BOR will accuse Jim Robinson of calling him names and “attacking” little ‘ol innocent Bill.
That's really rich.
The poster did not offend BOR, so it wasn't any of O'Reilly's business to even pretend to be offended by a snide remark made on our forum.
Obviously you aren't aware that BOR was once the darling of FR. Fact is, his rise to the top of the FOX pedestal can be credited to his popularity on Free Republic and other conservative forums.
Now that BOR can't hide his true Liberal colors he throws a temper tantrum about Free Republic and YOU want Jim Rob to treat this man with respect?! Unbelievable!
We made him, but he's breaking himself against us.
I'd rather watch Nancy Grace than him..that's how bad he is.

It’s obvious you haven’t been here very long. This isn’t BOR’s first slam to FR. You are probably middle of the road like BOR. Conservatives don’t have any use for folks in the middle.
