"I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... on his TV show today, he read off a laundry list of ridiculous 'hate' statements like 'I hate blacks,' 'Hillary should be assassinated' and 'homosexuals are dogs' that he said he personally found on Free Republic and claims that they were posted here today. I do not believe that. I doubt that he personally logged on to FR and I doubt he found any such thing posted here today.
Who knows what we may have missed and is buried deep in our archives of millions of posts, but our readers do a pretty good job of alerting us to anything out of bounds that is
posted and we pull it."
What seems to be over looked in this whole growing mess is that there is no way to know who made those comments. There is nothing that keeps someone who hates Bill O'Reilly from going on to his site, and posting hateful things about Democrats - just to make Bill look bad. There is nothing that would prevent someone to do it just because they were bored or because it was a joke.
The easy solution to all of this, make it so comments must be approved before they are posted.
