Billo just had a "Spokesman" for Freeperville on .......

[A HERETIC I AM]

and asked the guy why they didn't have a professional moderator to make sure (essentially) nothing that offended Billo was allowed to be posted.

"Costs money, Bill." was the guys response.
"I bet if you asked for money for this sort of thing, the people would pay for it"

So, in a nutshell, Billo wants Free Republic to hire a professional moderator to personally look over every single post they get on a daily basis to make sure nothing stays up that would offend his sensibilities.

Apparently, Billo took issue with a particular thread.

I didn't catch the whole bit (switching back and forth from KO) so i am unaware whether DU was mentioned.

Daily Kos was, however and it is apparently now a full-blown "Hate site" that Billo once again compared to the KKK

Orally has jumped the shark on this one. The only folks who aren't laughing at him on this issue are the 71 year old die hards who constitute the majority of his audience.

Lets hope Dave Allen is asked to appear next to defend what is posted here on DU.

Skinner? If you DO get a call, CAN I GO TOO? PLEASE?

I am sure you could handle the guy but damn, I sure would love the opportunity to take Billo down a peg on national TV.

1. They are having a collective apoplexy attack over there.

"I'll never watch him again" kind of stuff.

2. I think DU is ignored because we're, well, "underground"

:silly:

3. Perhaps it would be a good idea to poke a hole in the intertube overhead....

and wave a little American flag and yell "Hey! Billo! Here we are! Now FUCK OFF!"

just a thought

4. just a taste

Kristinn,

I am watching you as we speak. Bill is being very unfair to you by even mentioning FR in the same breath as daily kos. Frauds come here to FR everyday to plant “hate statements” just to try and make us look bad. Bill doesnt understand how difficult it is to policy these posts in real time. I beleive that the posts that he is referring to is a complete setup. Keep up the good work Kristinn.

7. Bill would NEVER be unfair! He's FAIR and balanced, right?? n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

5. I'm shocked BillO is offended by anything at Freepland

Sounds like his show.....rampant specualtion, lies and bigotry every day.

8. OMG!! was it Kristinnnnnnnn?

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. Yuppers. That's the wanker.

I have to say, it was pretty funny. The guy was probably thinking to himself "This fucking numbnuts has NO CLUE how a message board works."

10. And the fact that he wore a nice suit for that rimming.

Should have doffed the jammies and bathrobe for that one!

11. ...

[burythehatchet]

14. too sexy for my threads

[Truthiness Inspector]

15. Wasn't that around the time

when some news person called bloggers people in their basement wearing pajamas?

If so, the bathrobe and jammies would make sense.

Otherwise, I haven't a clue, lol!

17. I can't find my favorite picture of him

It's the one taken in September 05 where he is standing at that 'well attended' freeper rally and has a bunch of cell phones attached to his pants. Made me think of a teacher on a field trip who had to take the students' cell phones away. LOL

12. This must be causing Freeper heads to explode

I always figured they watched nothing but Fox and now Billo is after them?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. Their Billo thread is over 400 posts now.

This looks like one near head explosion.

snip~ And if every post was previewed in advance it would really limit the conversations. And for what? I think O’Reilly should be careful what he wishes for, because he is helping to legitimize the radical left, and if this happens, he will be answering to President Hillary, and I am sure she agrees with him about Freerepublic, she would work to silence the kind of people who like to post here. That’s not a comforting thought.

end snip. :eyes:

16. You're the highest paid hatemonger on Faux Noise, Bill. Put your money where your mouth is.

If you want Freeptardville to be your personal soapbox then divert a little bit of loose cash from your falafel budget and hire a moderator. After all they're just hanging around their mother's basement doing nothing but staring at the pinups of Coultergeist and Katherine Harris. Maybe you can make a deal with their Mommies. You might have a few loofahs hanging around you could let them have. And if they ever get out of control you could always shout "Shut his keyboard off! Shut his keyboard off!"
