Freepers running away from O'Reilly as fast as they can....
maybe this has been true for a long time, but I didn't know it.

1. Is This True?
O'Reilly's "positions in favor of gun control, civil unions, environmentalism, feminism, Memogate/Kerry and other liberal pursuits (e.g., against the death penalty) are known."

Seems odd, but I don't listen to him much.

2. I never really thought the Freeps were....
"In love" with Dild'O Reilly.... So this really doesn't surprise me too much. But the guy isn't going away. Kind of like El Drugbo and Bennett.....

This is another Trent Lott moment - and couldn't come at a better time for Benedict O'Reilly.

That's why Wicker "Bill the Wad" was looking out for his employee!

The FREEP'S little world is coming unglued like their fearful leaders are! They all talk the talk but talk is CHEAP! Let them get their m-16s and find Bin Laden, Bush ain't worried about Osama any more!

17. Freepers will not tolerate dissent...
If someone starts a thread like, "As a fiscal conservative, I'm concerned that the Bush Administration is increasing the deficit to record levels", they will be booted pronto.

21. He's still about par for the course
as far as "conservative values" are concerned. Sexual deviancy is celebrated in the GOP, unless the perp is a Democrat.

I still think Ailes is going down because of what O'dickhead said about Franken.

To: All
And to all the DUmmies who're trolling. O'Reilly's not conservative and never has been so you can stop saying that we're eating our own.

"O'Reilly's not conservative and never has been"

nice to see that poster decided to retire to the Philippines (for the young brown boys, no doubt)...I wonder what HE can tell us about deviant and abnormal sex....

oh yea, during the impeachment, I told anyone who would listen that Clinton was no Dem...he was to the right of Gingrich and never supported any liberal policies...and Hilary?? Well, it's a little known fact that she's related to Ann "the motherfuckin' man" Coulter, and she has the views to prove it...

THE CLINTONS WERE NEVER LIBERALS!!! THEY WERE PLANTS AND COOKED UP 8 YEARS OF SCANDALS JUST TO MAKE US ALL LOOK RIDICULOUS!!! AND SOMEONE IN OUR POSITION CAN'T AFFORD TO BE MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS!

26. Shouldn't Parties "eat their own" if they break the law?
My father is a staunch Rebublican, and a fairly regular O'Reilly viewer, and his opinion is if O'Reilly is guilty then he should go down.

Even freepers get my respect when they don't try to defend the indefensible.

I've never understood the "defend MY guy" at all costs. Hypocritical and wrong.

41. Well, they also seem to be not understanding the word "consensual"
Surprise, surprise. As in, O'Reilly is not being censured or sued for *adultery;* he is being sued for *sexual harassment.* As in, the employee DIDN'T AGREE TO and DIDN'T LIKE his behavior. Oh, and he very strongly implied that her continued employment depended on her continuing to put up with his behavior and not tell anyone about it. As opposed to Monica Lewinsky; whatever you may think of the ethics of sleeping with your subordinates and cheating on your wife, the fact remains that consensual adultery, while skeezy, is not a crime. Harassment *is.* Not that a bunch of mouth-breathing freepers would be expected to understand this; they learned everything they needed to know about talking to women (employees or otherwise) from Ross Jeffries and Andrew Dice Clay, I'm sure.

45. House of Cards, House of Tards
O'Reilly's claims of being an "independent" come off as deceptive, misleading, and transparent to anyone who has the critical thinking skills to pay an iota of attention to his chosen message and how he conveys it.

The man has been a cheerleader for the war and a blind advocate of Pentagon policy, all in the name of his own personal gain. Somehow he's a proponent of liberal views? Maybe I'm not tuning into the right show, but I don't think I've ever seen him shout about peak oil, U.S. imperialism, corporatization, deregulation or outsourcing. But somehow, just because he offers a free-pass to a couple of liberal guests once in a while, we're supposed to think he's progressive. Laughable.

The fact that he maintains this facade of objectivity by holding his nose and agreeing with a moderate-left point of view once in a while; the fact that conservatives are so rigid in their ideology that they'll castigate a man who so unabashedly preaches the gospel that their party worships, is absolutely hilarious.

The fanatics and the hopelessly misled are slowly painting themselves into a corner, using a brush saturated with their own self-righteousness.

24. From what I've gathered
The hostility towards him is mainly due to him not buying the Swift Boat Liars story. That issue caused massive backlash from the freepers for they will not tolerate any divergence from their own myopic views. The truth is what fits their preconceived dogma, and everything else is a vast left-wing conspiracy. Thus O'Reilly is a liberal plant.

27. My favorite post
The idea that there are "bright" freepers is a hoot. Especially when if by "bright" you mean you don't care about someone's personal life.

------------------------
To: familyop
Bill O'Reilly is an entertainer.

I really don't care about his personal life but I do understand that Democrats cream their jeans over scandals like this.

I wonder why they think bright conservatives care about an entertainer's personal problems?????

42. And again, we see the failure to understand basic ethics from a freeper...
Blackmailing an employee into listening to your tawdry sexual fantasies (hello, is the man too cheap to fork out the cash for a 900 number?) by threatening her job is a lot more than his "personal problem," you stupid fuck. Oh, and look, the login is "familyop." I can just imagine this person's "family values."

28. He seems to be a moderate Republican, but not...
...and "independent" as he likes to claim. Once, on his show, he did an anti-SUV segment, coming to the defense of responsible energy policy and the environment. I was blown away. And, as he loves to brag about, "I'm not a Republican, I believe in global warming," which apparently is true. As someone else already indicated, he doesn't fall in line well enough for the freepers' tastes.

Since he is more moderate than Hannity, he is a screaming Pinko. It has been this way for more than a year.
They went off against him a long time ago.

43. I don't hate him because he's a "moderate" (yeah, right); I hate him...
because he has amply demonstrated well before this little contretemps that he is a splotchy-faced spittle-flecked yelling, bullying EPIC asshole. I never doubted for one instant that he was more than capable of making people at his workplace thoroughly miserable; he's certainly managed to make public discourse thoroughly toxic. Well, him among many others, of course. But he's one of the worst. His behavior with the young anti-war man who'd lost his father in 9/11 ("Shut up! Shut up! I care more about your OWN FATHER than you do, and I know him better, too!") alone is enough for me to thoroughly despise him. He is a loathsome, sad little man, and I do hope that this long-coming fall brings him to the anger management classes and longterm therapy he so desperately needs. But I won't hold my breath. anyway, just getting him off the air would be therapeutic enough...for the rest of us, anyway...

and bring them new recruits.....yet they
treat him like a leper when the chips are
down. Not much loyalty in that group is
there?

Bill should come over to our side, we treat
our perverts a lot better then the repugs.
