Olbermann Watch - MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Reynolds Wrap Optional

Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004

February 18, 2006

Reynolds Wrap Optional

There is no doubt Olbermann Watch is having an impact. That was demonstrated Thursday, when Keith had to do three stealth rollbacks of falsehoods after we exposed them here. Now someone is so worried they have arranged to have a new website set up. If they are to be believed, they aim to recruit people to counter our efforts to hold Olby responsible for his journalistic sins!

KO claims he is "nonpartisan", but we know better. That's why we're happy to see Olby apologist sites spring up. They show how his Hour of Spin is a magnet for moonbats. When you visit keitholbermann.org, the first thing you see is a navigation menu with ten items. Nine of them pertain to KO. The tenth? A link to the "Al Franken Fan Club".

But the window into these people's psyches is found in the "Keith Olbermann Forum". Here fanboys and fangirls can fantasize about imaginary Olbermann ratings surges, share "steamy and sometimes kinky Keith fantasies", bash Bush and Cheney, invoke Halliburton, and prepare to defeat Olbermann Watch with their superior numbers and upper-class intellects.

What follows are literal, word-for-word quotes from this latest attempt to prop up the sports guy. Warning! The bad spelling, embarrassing grammar, and potty language have been retained, intact, just as the intellectuals posted them.

would somebody please tell me when anyone at Halliburton is going to be held accountable for anything? what the hell is up with that? all of Cheney's best pals are raking it in hand over fist, and none of this shit sticks to him? that is one arrogant bastard.
Cheney is the f---ing antiChrist. that's so disgusting. why does the country let him get away with that sh-t?
did you know that Antonin Scalia went with Cheney (on Air Force Two, by the way) on a duck hunting trip...suck-suck. two bad he wasn't on the quail hunt as well....
i hate both of those assholes with every fiber of my being.
I'm Sara aka keithlova. I love Keith as we all do!
i'm interested in raising the profile of KO's fans on the web. he's a problem child, so he's gonna need support. the brass at MSNBC need to be aware of what a gem they have in KO and not take it for granted
fuck he better not get fired god I would fucking die if he does
Keith Olbermann is a total rock-star stud! are you kidding me? damn! he is the hottest guy in the solar system.
Highest Rated Show on MSNBC!
he could start KO Magazine, like Oprah's O, and be on the cover every month.
I've posted comments on the olbermannwatch site before, and they do go right through... but it doesn't matter what you say if it's in defense of KO. They always have a negative response at the ready.
I don't think we are ready for those folks here, yet. I think we need 100 or so solid Keith supporters so we can beat the trolls back. We are getting there though, 20 real users in less than a week!
Florida Governor Bush and his self-aggrandizing Secretary of State Katherine Harris stealing the election for his brother? yep. that's us. you can understand what Countdown means to me, then. some days it is an island of sanity.

It appears some of these people were voted off that island long ago, on this, the 3rd day of the Keith Olbermann CoverUp.

Just saw this item in the Washington Post (via Lucianne.com) re: Dana Milbank's appearances on Olbermann's program. The writer considers Milbank an opinion writer, and rightfully so:

"Crosing the Line on a Cable Show"

That's Olbermann fan logic alright... They invade this site and WE're the trolls. :D

"Keith Olbermann is a total rock-star stud! are you kidding me? damn! he is the hottest guy in the solar system."

EWWwwwwwwwwww...

Irony alert! Here's a post on the Olbermann Forum by someone named "Trekkie".

I don't know if this is our Trekkie; member of the intragalaxic federation and frequent Olbermann Watch poster of long.... unhindered... screeds,.... but he/she is worried about trolls coming to the Olbermann forum: :D

"Yes, a troll cage. We had one on another site that I frequent. Trolls can be dumped into it and the posts expire after five days of inactivity so that they don't clog up the rest of the board."

Mr. Dollar, as our leader I thank you!

My work is done here. My dream of coralling Olbermann fans into one massive leftist insane asylum has been achieved.

The damage these people will do to their own cause will be immense, as they defend Keith's bias and lies with bias and lies. Poor KO can't win.

By johnny dollar on February 19, 2006 11:54 AM

KfK, your work here is NOT done! We need your acerbic wit to slice up Olby's pretentious propagandizing. Don't abandon us for the greener pastures of keitholbermann.org!

> Trolls can be dumped into it and the posts expire after five days of inactivity

That's a handy way to make it LOOK like you are open to dissenting views. After a few days have passed, all contrary opinions are erased, thereby keeping the asylum free of unwelcome viewpoints. Come to think of it, as intolerant as that is, it's still not as bad as Olby. He doesn't let those pesky opposing views get on the air in the first place!

By Cecelia on February 19, 2006 12:01 PM

KfK,

I don't think the Olbermann fan asylum will be "massive".

I think the size of Trekkie's handmade model of the Enterprise will do nicely.

We should call it Starship Oddball...

He's straight butter!

Milbank considers Olbermann's show to be a farce: Direct quote from the Washington Post is: "Milbank said he has appeared on the show -- which he describes as "half news, half shtick" -- wearing a Santa hat, brandishing a cigar and having an anvil dangled over his head".......Kind of ironic that a man who hurls insults at Fox and their status as a "news organization" is viewed by one of his most frequent guests to be doing "schtick." "schtick" is defined by dictionary.com as n 1: (Yiddish) a little; a piece; "give him a shtik cake"; "he's a shtik crazy"; "he played a shtik Beethoven" [syn: shtik, schtik, schtick] 2: (Yiddish) a contrived and often used bit of business that a performer uses to steal attention; "play it straight with no shtik" [syn: shtik, schtik, schtick] 3: (Yiddish) a prank or piece of clowning; "his shtik made us laugh" [syn: shtik, schtik, schtick] 4: (Yiddish) a devious trick; a bit of cheating; "how did you ever fall for a shtik like that?" [syn: shtik, schtik, schtick]....so I do think after this we need to give Milbank more credit. He realizes what this site has documented Olby's show is as much comedy as news!!!!! . ROFLMAO....Hahaha Keith....joke's on you...you are considered a joke by your own guests!!!

Hey Johnny:

Just want you to know the result of my "contrary opinion" (on the Olby Forum) that his cult following is either blind, stupid, or wittingly complicit in the weird game that he plays.

I was described as a troll and summarily jettisoned in just a couple of hours (not days as has been described).

By rick on February 20, 2006 8:50 AM

What ever happened to Howard Fineman?? Wasn't he KO's go-to-guy prior to Milbank. If Milbank realizes belatedly that he's not taken seriously and leaves who takes his place? Lawrence O'Donnell, John Dean or Mo Rocca?

By puck on February 20, 2006 2:08 PM

Rick

We have printed up the milk cartons for Mr. Fineman. There are reports that he has been seen on the obscure weekly "The Chris Matthews Show".

By BB on February 22, 2006 6:00 PM

Fineman had prostate cancer surgery a couple of months ago. I heard this on Imus's show when they interviewed him a few weeks ago.

By Cecelia on February 22, 2006 6:30 PM

I wish Fineman well.

He's certainly needed on Hardball to bring a touch of reality when Chris Matthews exhibits his flight of ideas...

By d on February 25, 2006 1:17 PM

Your site is total bullshit You should go fuck yourself you ugly nerdy fag

By Cecelia on February 25, 2006 4:54 PM

As we can see from D's comments above, lefties are NEVER good for a laugh...

Sheer malevolence is certainly not funny.

By Jarhead on February 25, 2006 7:48 PM

KO reminds me of the nerdy kid in high school that everybody used to beat up and now he is taking it out on the whole world. His HATRED for Bush, Conservatives, and traditional family values (Christmas) will eventually destroy his health. His epitath will read "Here lies a man killed by his own thoughts". :)
