In his weekly website column which will appear across the country in newspapers, like Sunday in the L.A. Daily News oped section along with my weekly column, O'Reilly took Arianna and Huffpo to task for allowing questionable statements concerning Nancy Reagan's injury. Close to 200 comments were posted to the Reagan story. There were some that were in bad taste, and there were plenty who wrote in to say that they too were bad. They too were allowed by "Arianna and HuffPo" to be posted . Just like the negative comments. Fact is, Bill, you don't even know if the person posting in the lefty who hates Nancy Reagan or a right wing poster trying make Huff Post look bad. But it doesn't matter who is commenting, they have a perfect right to. It's called free speech, Bill. But Bill writes to say that "freedom of speech... is a canard." A duck, you hear. "Hate speech is hate speech, whether it's being spewed by some nut wearing a Nazi armband, or some gnome hunched over a keyboard. People like Arianna Huffington should be taken out to the village square and publicly scolded." Beautiful, Bill. In one sentence you say this kind of free speech is the same as what Nazis spewed and in the next sentence you put on your jackboots and call for Nazi abuse. Should we burn a number into Arianna's arm too? You can question the judgment of those who posted the distasteful comments, but if you're going to claim fair and balanceness, you better make sure you rip into both sides with the same energy. I know you won't because you never have. You've always said that the Right's smears are minuscule as compared to the Left's. What, you've never listened to talk radio? You've never gone through the tons of right wing sites? You've never watched your show? When you first ripped into DailyKos you admitted you had never even heard of FreeRepublic.com, one of the largest right wing blog sites on the Net. Some crack research staff. At best you'll say, "the right does it too." But to cover that with equal enthusiasm with which you attack the Left? Never. You might throw out an example but the odds are somewhere in the 1000 to 1 territory that you'll rarely if ever do a story about the right...unless they're actual Nazis. Hmmm. As you say to back up any point you throw out there... "everyone knows." As in "everyone knows" you are anything but even handed. Right wing sites are just as want to have a poster place a repugnant remark as the Left. What about mentioning the comment by Rounder99 that was in the same list of Nancy Reagan comments? "You sick fuck liberal wing nuts always shame yourselves when someone is in crisis. I hope you all die screaming. ..you sick fuck you wouldn't know class if it bit you on the ass, class you mean like the most cheated on former 1st lady. Class you mean like president blow job, democrats can't have class it comes with the D tag" Splendid. Did a far left loon write that? Or was it just a loon? Fact is, we don't know. Neither do you. But just like the comments of those who demeaned Reagan and her health problems, it's disgusting so why didn't you write about that one or the plenty others you can find on right wing sites? Need help? It won't take a crack research staff to find them. I mean, if you wanted them to. How about the many like Mnmommy's Wishing her a speedy recovery? Or Cathexis's: For my part, Ms Reagan has my sympathies and I wish her a speedy recovery -- which is how I would feel for anyone who had suffered such a setback. www.greatfailure.com A talk show host, author, columnist,award-winning television writer and filmmaker, his inspiring book, "Great Failures of the Extremely Successful" (Tallfellow Press) has been published internationally and has become required reading in the Wharton School of Business Masters Program.

Billo This internet is going to be what gets America back to what and where it should have and could have always been, if the Govt. and Churches took some time to see and think about what was going on in the 60's. The technology is here. This site and the Arianna's are talking about things we should have always heard from the waisted tool called the TV! A MEDIA-RIGHT STORM. Billo is a good excuse for the most uselees debate of the last 30 years! by

Hater of Nazis above all. Hobbies include activism, military model building, military history, exciting and vital conversation with retired crooks. Retired
O'Reilly delivers 14 year old angry speech. Anger is exhausting and usually pointless. Hatred is almost always sublime. by

Sandy Sand began her writing career while raising three children and doing public relations work for Women's American ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training). That led to a job as a reporter for the San Fernando Valley Chronicle, a weekly publication in Canoga Park, California. In conjunction with the Chronicle, she broadcast a tri-weekly, 10-minute newscast for KGOE AM. Following the closure of the Chronicle, Sand became the editor of the Tolucan Times and Canyon Crier newspapers...
Don't be sorry! You called the jackass as you see the jackass. The only apology we need make is to the jackasses. You didn't call him a bigoted, sexist, racist, vet-hating, harrassing, arrogant and a whole lot more jackass. I did. by

Mail carrier who drives the rest of my colleagues nuts with my politics.
Won't let this go unanswered "I know you won't because you never have..." Total, utter, absolute lie. I watched Bill O'Reilly take apart the founder of Free Republic over the fact that he wasn't moving fast enough to delete their offensive posts. I have heard him continuously rip into people who demonize Hilary and Barack and other mainstrem liberals. He has spoken out against the dead-bodies-in-Arkansas crowd with regards to Bill Clinton and has said repeatedly that Mr. Clinton had a laregely successful presidency, with a few exceptions. And let's face it. Those posts on Huffpo regarding Nancy Reagan weren't just "in bad taste", they were flat-out evil. Bill O'Reilly is not a racist, sexist thug. Put that in your bong and smoke it. by
