    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    October 27, 2006
    COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - OCTOBER 27, 2006

    "COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • DESPERATE, DIRTY POLITICS: Craig Crawford, Congressional Quarterly columnist and MSNBC political analyst
    • VICE PRES. CHENEY SUPPORTS WATERBOARDING?: Jonathan Turley, George Washington University law professor and constitutional law expert

    Tonight, we break from our usual format to focus on one facet of Friday night's Countdown. One gigantic, hulking, overwhelming dose of Olbermann hypocrisy. The Hour of Spin of course is built on the altar of imposture, but this was so shameless and partisan that it demands we focus on it like a laser beam.

    NAME

    There were all the usual Countdown spin segments. Dirty campaign ads were bashed, but the only wrongdoers cited by KO and Olbermann's Brain were those eeevil Republicans. Dana Milbank helped Krazy Keith to focus on "desperate" ads, which coincidentally were also all by eeevil Republicans.

    After Olbermann Watch embarrassed Olbermoronn for not reporting on the California wildfires, he caved to our just criticism and actually ran a network rerun tape about them tonight. Olby and the Perfessor regurgitated all their mutual talking points to each other. KO lied again about the efficacy of waterboarding (which has saved thousands of lives) while The Perfessor yammered his usual. In the Media Matters Minute: a Republican, a Republican, and a Fox News employee (the last to Dennis Miller for criticizing Nancy Pelosi). All slots filled as per Mr Soros's instructions.

    But it was Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann's hyperventilating outrage over the George Allen campaign that served to epitomize the discredited sports guy's sleazy tactics. The circulation of passages from the novels of James Webb provoked exactly the sort of Pavlovian response that every self-respecting blue blog telegraphed the moment the news broke, and Herr Olbermann fell right into line:

    Novels from 30 years ago...written literally decades ago...

    Decades ago? How about the alleged "n-word" remarks by George Allen, reported on night after night? Did you dismiss them as being from "literally decades ago"? No, you brought in Slippery Shuster to devote an entire segment of the program to them. What's more, you had Slippery edit his tape, to snip out the fact that the accuser was a volunteer worker for the Democrats. That's how important you thought statements from "decades ago" were when they were being made by someone with an (R) after his name. So important that you had to doctor a report to make them sound as credible, and damaging, as possible.

    And that's not all Monkeymann had to say about the worldly Webb writings:

    the work of fiction, mind you...works of fiction...

    Yes, mere works of fiction. Not worthy of serious attention by any rational being. Yet again, Edward R Olbermann contradicts his own past practices for purely partisan purposes. What about Mr Bill O'Reilly? In one of his 110-plus attacks on his vastly more successful competitors, Krazy Keith found it convenient and opportune to go after Mr Bill for...his work of fiction! The book ("Those Who Tresspass") was just another excuse for Monkeymann to level personal attacks at his nemesis. After all, it has racy scenes in it! Olby pontificated that it was a "soft-porn novel" and cackled: "a real load in the pants". All this over a work of fiction, mind you.

    But there's more. As noted elsewhere, the infamous deplorable Keith Olbermann didn't exactly shrug off the meaningless, unimportant, irrelevant fiction writings of one Scooter Libby, during the height of Countdown's coverage of The Great Leak Case. Back in those glory days, when Karl Rove's indictment was coming. Any day now.

    Back then (less than a year ago), a "work of fiction" had deeply significant probative qualities. According to the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann, Libby's fictional novel gave us a:

    look into the mind of the vice president's former chief of staff

    Krazy Keith read at length from the book, lingering over its steamiest scenes, and detailing others at length:

    this is not just a book about bestiality. There's also incest and let's call them wooden prosthetic devices, and sex between women and fox spirits

    This work of fiction was so immaterial, peripheral, and inconsequential that KO dedicated an entire program segment, with interview, to analyze its sauciest chapters, and took the occasion to sermonize:

    Now we have beaten the hell out of Libby for this, and deservedly so. If a Democratic White House official had written this book, his head would be on a pike somewhere.

    Wrong! If a Democrat writes a book like this, "Fat Ass" Olbermann does not tell us how it is a "look into his mind". No, he rushes to disregard it as an off-subject, irrelevant diversion. Far from suggesting the writer's head be figuratively put on a pike somewhere, KO instead demonizes those who raised the issue. But who raised the issue regarding Bill O'Reilly's work of fiction? And who raised the issue of Scooter Libby's fictional writing? None other than Keith Olbermann, The Worst Best Hypocrite in the World.

    OLBY

    Muzzled mongrels: KO's continuing efforts to minimize and downplay any terror dangers affected his coverage of the new threats to gulf oil properties. There wasn't any coverage! Olby has also been pounding on stories about disagreements between Iraq's fledgling government and the US. So what does he do when they issue a joint statement of agreement on the need for a timeline? He ignores it! Just like he did the signing of the build-a-fence bill. No time for any of that; we need to run that montage of "stay the course" clips again! And through it all "Fat Ass" Olbermann still hasn't apologized for his disgusting smear of Albert Pujols and Chris Mihlfield, lifted from a discredited and retracted blog entry.

    NAME

    Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name continues to decline: it's now #385 in sales at amazon, while Mr Bill's "Culture Warrior" is at #12. At Barnes & Noble, the OlbyTome has sunk to an humiliating #2,073, while O'Reilly's best-seller rose to #20. Krazy Keith was slightly improved on Thursday night, coming in his usual third place with total viewers, but eeking out a second place finish in his beloved "demo".

    Stay the course.

    So,, Jr. learned it from his daddy... I am sure glad that Dumbya did not have any male children. Stay the course.. after all it has been so successful.

    to bad your mother did not abort you o'leilly....or maybe she did.
    so what's the biggest douche bag on TV going to do when the democrats DON'T win on elections day.
    sound taps for the olbermann.

    I guess two or three more posts for this ass wipe and it will be night night time.

    So Olbermann was making fun of a woman with an eating disorder or drug problem or both on tonight's show. Would GOD do that I ask you KO defenders? Huh? And calling someone else fat and pasty? Would God do that either? Will you people please face the fact tha Olbermann is mean, sarcastic, egotistical and has a real problem with women the way he slams them constantly. I fail to see the humor in someone being committed to a hopsital for an eating disorder but I'm sure Codas and O'Lielly will just think it's hysterically funny.

    GREAT photo of the real keith olbermann- i always knew he was a horse's ass!

    Waterboard O'leilly! that's a course we can stay!

    I still don't get it who will want to date this guy.

    Of bandwidth Meltdown is a waste
    Every night it leaves a bad taste
    The ratings are low
    The last place "news show"
    NBC should have it erased

    Nancy, please make someone else kill themselves so your ratings will go back up and put Olby back in fourth place again.

    I sat there with my mouth open as he pooh-poohed Webb's works as being simply works of fiction. This from a man who took great relish in quoting from fiction works by Lynne Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, and Scooter Libbey on-air, indicating that they somehow offered up stunning insights into their mind-sets. So let me get this straight. Fictional works by Republicans involving sex scenes are evidence of their kinkiness but fictional works written by Dems that describe child molestation and sex with children are just harmless works of fiction which mean absolutely nothing? Okay codas & O'lielly please explain to us all this great discrepency in Olby's mindset? If you can't see this glaring bit of bias and hypocrycy on Olby's part than the two of you are truly deaf, dumb, blind, and stupid where Olbermann and the truth are concerned.

    Amazing! You people really are obsessed with a media pundant you don't like. Thats why we have different shows and a remote control. What is your problem!

    So your answer to everything is just to turn off our TV's. It doesn't bother you a bit to see this man's biases displayed so vividly on a nightly basis does it just so long as it's a liberal bias being displayed. Here's a hint for you: don't vote because you don't like George W! Makes as much sense as your suggestion to us there "Mikey".

    Hooray for Olbermann! Finally someone in the mainstream media has the guts to take on the "Emperor with no clothes." Olbermann tells the truth about this dishonest, incompetent Aministration and the right wingnuts hate him for it.

    But Olbermann ignores the truth about the Democrats. You know what that makes him? A hypocrite and a liar. Not a hero.

    Olbermans an idiot. We need to waterboard every damn liberal and raghead in the world! Declare Olberman an enemy combatant and send him to Gitmo! If you don't understand that we have to stay the course in Iraq no matter what, youre a complete moron.

    Little Katy is pregnant. It's the reason she's living with him.

    I'm not BS'ing about this.

    Good news for KO. One night this week, for an entire two seconds, his show garnered almost 80 percent of the audience O'Reilly's 11pm re-run gets among the all-important, coveted demographic of constipated men over 40. Way to go Keith!!

    To - Not a Journalist:

    Duh, yes, the answer is to just to change the channel and allow those of us who enjoy KO to continue to do so. What is your answer? to Censure him...throw him off the air?

    That would be fine if we also throw off Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, Hume, etc. along with him...I think you get the idea!

    Olbermann and his predictable catterwalling leaves one feeling soiled. The pasty thighed man with the clownish face must know he is the caricature of a tool. At this point does even HE believe the blather he bleats? Probably not. How do you suppose he is spending that street-cred for flaming liberal nutjobs? My guess he is spending it on illicit sexual encounters with persons unknown and unknowing.

    Little Katy is pregnant. It's the reason she's living with him.
    ********************************************
    I wonder who the real father is? :)

    Low blow?...It's no worse than any personal shot KO takes at other people.

    No, what I want to do is to see this supposed-newscaster present the news in an unbiased way. Hannity & O'Reilly have OPINION shows. Olbermann is supposedly running a NEWS show. Either reformat and correctly label Olby's show as an OPINION show or make him cover the NEWS in a fair manner. THAT IS THE ANSWER!

    -Bob Nay - Cunningham - signing statements - loss of Habeus Corpus - Tom Delay - war in Iraq - Mark Foley - Katrina - more tax cuts for the rich - stay the course - your doing a fine job Brownie - war in Iraq - mission accomplished - Valerie Plame - Jack Abramoff - record deficits - war in Iraq - record National debt - over 40 million without health insurance - war in Iraq - port security by the UAW - Scooter Libby - Insurgency is in it's last throes - nearly 3,000 Americans killed in Iraq - 20,000 Americans seriously wounded Americans in Iraq - It's a slam dunk - Haliburton - Harriet Myers - record trade deficits - don't cut and run - more & more outsourced American jobs - adapt and win - Donald Rumsfeld - trashing the Geneva Convention - trashing the Constitution - Abu Gharab - Quantanamo - etc, etc,. etc.............


    Had enough - vote Democrat!

    If you don't understand that we have to stay the course in Iraq no matter what, youre a complete moron.

    Posted by: Rock at October 27, 2006 10:08

    I guess Bush is a moron cause he said he was never about stay the course. NYAH!

    He's dad's an idiot psychotic nut-case whackjob and his mother is a teenage slut. But hey maybe now britney spears can make fun of KO's parenting skills!

    Such complete hypocrisy from a guy who characterizes himself as being nonpolitical.

    Good job, Johnny.

    valerie plame? that bullshit has been shown to be a democrat fart in the wind. who cares?

    like most of the dogs that won't hunt that Olby insists on pursuing with his crack team of nothing "reporters" like David Schuster. What a joke.

    So Not Joking: when is the baby due and how is Olby taking the news? Any nuptials planned?

    Olbermann and his fans prove that they only care about their agenda. The truth is an inconvenience.

    Webb had his dirty tricks handed back to him, and few will vote for a freak who writes graphically about father-son incest. Olby would vote for him, of course, since he is in favor of the practice. But what would you expect from a man who hears dogs talking to him?

    Only a little while left until it all comes unglued. All the time wasted. All the money and lives. Republican rule. It really seriously sucked. All because republican voters didn't hold them to a higher standard. They got power and keeping the power was what became the priority, not serving the public. Divisive. Slandering. Hateful and corrupted. Torture. War without a clear victory. Sad.

    It ain't over til Diebold counts the votes. And then let's see who'll be doing the screaming. LOL.

    It shall be you. It will be a welcome release. Maybe you will see that the last six years was a horible mistake. He was not up to the job. He has little respect for his own senators and congress. Now he will wish they were still there.

    I hope that the poor decider doesn't have a break down on national television soon. I suspect that he might.

    We need to waterboard every damn liberal and raghead in the world!
    Posted by: Rock at October 27, 2006 10:08 PM

    And here's ANOTHER case of ANOTHER racist on Olby Watch. Were you the same person that called Senator Obama a "Democratic Chimp" earlier this week?

    How do you know I voted for Bush in 2000 or 2004? I certainly don't recall anyone else being in the booth with me at the time I hit that touch screen.

    You know, assumptions are very dangerous things "Scream". Perhaps you should stick to FACTS. See, that's my main problem with Olbermann, he's quite selective in the stories he chooses to cover and they are remarkably fact-free and in fact, normally are filled with flat-out lies. THAT's my problem with him, and his obvious bias. If he chooses to correctly his show as opinion, not news, then I'll lay off of him. If he chooses instead to keep insisting he hosts a news show, then I'll continue to demand he covers stories from ALL angles, not just the Democratic talking points.

    Well Olby called Chris Wallace a monkey and that's a well-known anit-Jewish slur. Wallace is Jewish. I didn't hear you screaming about bigotry when Olby did it.

    We need to waterboard every damn liberal and raghead in the world!

    This is the typical talk tough hate spewing that is supposed to get a reaction out of a liberal. It just makes me feel sorry for how week they must realy feel inside.

    Olbermann is a Cylon!

    Scream- Yeah, they talk tough, but the funny thing is how big of cowards a majority of them are. Folks like Cheney and Rove haven't even been in a fist fight in their lives.

    And you know the reason they are always acting so bad ass is because they know they are not. The biggest dogs are the mildest. It's the little insecure ones that want to rip your leg off.

    What day of the "week" do they feel?

    (How can you tell that these statements were truly sent by a "they"?)

    Wo Brandon! I bet you have really put the fear of God into KO with that post. I'm sure he'll do anything just to get you to lay off of him.

    What day of the "week" do they feel?

    Smart ass.

    Jonnie-Dollar:

    I see in your critique where you claim that waterboarding "has saved thousands of lives".

    Can you prove that?

    Mike- it works because O'Reilly said it works. Didn't you see when he dressed down John McCain trying to prove his point? I mean come on, it's not like McCain knows anything about torture.

    Mike,
    Your right waterboarding is a waste. they should recive bullets in the head!

    Olby has become so full of himself! His "opinions" have had a much harsher tone of late, likely due to his own realization that he is on his way out, not the republicans. That's what happens when you disguise yourself as a journalist when all you really are is a shallow thinking poser.

    Olby fans just answer one question: How can you not see the blatant hypocrisy tonight with Olbermann’s opinion on Webb’s book in light of his earlier attacks on conservative fiction writers and still view him as having any shred of journalistic credibility? Please no answers with the names O'Reilly, Hannity, Bush or any other conservatives in it. Stay focused for once on Olbermann and not change the subject back to why all Republicans are evil and how messed up Iraq is. Was it not a blatant attempt by Olbermann to spread propaganda and smear a Republican on his news cast (and yes it is a news cast and not an opinion show as described by the MSNBC website) simply for political reasons?

    Jim, what conservative books are you refering to? The conservative FICTION writers I know are O'Reilly, Hannity, Savage, Boortz, et cetera.

    You are delusional. If the republicans "win" this next election it will be only because the fix is in. The country will not stand for it this time.

    O'Reilly and Scooter Libby. Taken from above: "If a Democrat writes a book like this, "Fat Ass" Olbermann does not tell us how it is a "look into his mind". No, he rushes to disregard it as an off-subject, irrelevant diversion. Far from suggesting the writer's head be figuratively put on a pike somewhere, KO instead demonizes those who raised the issue. But who raised the issue regarding Bill O'Reilly's work of fiction? And who raised the issue of Scooter Libby's fictional writing? None other than Keith Olbermann, The Worst Best Hypocrite in the World."

    None other than Keith Olbermann, The Worst Best Hypocrite in the World."

    Just admit it guys. The reason Keith upsets you is not because of anything other than the fact that someone on the air is actually and finally calling it like it is. He is doing this country a great favor right now. If he is an egomaniac or shacking up with a young women is not what bothers you. It sure doesn't seem to bother some of you about what Limbaugh does. Or congressmen. You just hate hearing that your great decider is a poor excuse for a world leader.

    But who raised the issue regarding Bill O'Reilly's work of fiction?
    Posted by: jim at October 28, 2006 12:42 AM

    Jim, I'm laughing as I type. All I can say is "thank you" for admitting that Bill O is a FICTION writer.

    Scream Thy Last Scream,

    The Republicans are going to fix the election, huh? Obviously you have not read the newspapers on how the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a liberal voter registration organization, is under investigation in numerous states for voter registration fraud. Tens of thousands of bad registration forms were sent it. Can you point to one instance where Republicans have been caught in trying to stealing an election. (you cannot point to FL in 2000 because in the end when all the votes were tallied Gore still received less votes than Bush).

    We had Olbermann on during our Waterboarding "how to" class tonight, but we had to turn it off because it was just unbearable. Our instructor was worried about the long term affects a show like Olbermann's would have on us. By the way I think Letterman and Olbermann are twins.

    > I see in your critique where you claim that waterboarding "has saved thousands of lives". Can you prove that?

    That's why I put one of those things called "links" in the article. If you click on it, it will take you to the evidence you seek.

    I realize that no-one actually reads most of JD's posts, or even probably bothers to follow the links (accepting instead to blindly believe what he says is true) so I guess no-one caught that the 'pontificated' and 'probative' links have nothing to do with the issue at hand (lifenews.com?)
    I, for one, would've liked to see what KO had said since I can't seem to find any indication here or in the transcripts (though I will admit I didn't search for very long).

    What I am saying is with the polling thats been done, and the mood of the country in general there has to be a big turnover coming. If there is not I would wonder why. I wouldn't put anything past this administration. I don't trust them as far as I could spit.

    Have you even read O'Reilly's books or are you just discrediting O'Reilly as a “fiction writer” simply because he is a conservative. We discredit Olbermann because he is obviously lying/telling half truths in almost every case or most often than not flat wrong in his analysis, not solely because he is a liberal.

    I have some serious issues with the critiques offered on this site. I am not saying that everything that is said in the show analysis is worng. There are valid points brought up by the moderators. The problem I have is that the tone in their critique matches the tone of the one they are spend so much effort debunking. What I really gather in the debate here is that the moderators and Olbermann are really the same thing. Both present facts and analysis that are biased in their observation. Both come of as arrogant and self righteous. As much as you can be certain Olbermann won't like the next move Bush takes, you can be just as certain the moderators here will not like Olbermann's view on this.

    The most silly thing is that this site spends so much time debunking a last place talk show host. Aren't his ratings justification enough to you that he is full of shit? No one watches him. If this site really wanted to be interesting, it would be called O'Reilly Watch. They could then offer a critique of a guy who has 2 million viewers a night. That won't happen though. Instead of being interesting, this site swims in the same murky waters as liberal sites that spend their time doing the same thing to Bill O"Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. I feel so much frustration at both.

    > links have nothing to do with the issue at hand...

    And...

    > I, for one, would've liked to see what KO had said since I can't seem to find any indication here...

    Thereby demonstrating that you didn't even click on the link you dismissed as irrelevant. True OlbyLoon logic.

    ". . are you just discrediting O'Reilly as a “fiction writer” simply because he is a conservative.
    Posted by: jim at October 28, 2006 01:00 AM

    Jim, today O'Reilly said on his radio show that he's not a conservative, but a "traditionalist". So "thanks again" for confirming something Bill can't admit to himself.

    Gnite and good luck.

    What does the link
    http://www.lifenews.com/bio1816.html
    on 'pontificated' and 'probative' have to do with O'Reilly's and Libby's books?

    The link is entitled:
    Michael J. Fox Records Second Misleading Stem Cell Research Ad

    So I repeat but with clearer language since you seem to have a problem in understanding:
    "the 'pontificated' and 'probative' links [are inccorrect links and] have nothing to do with the issue at hand (lifenews.com?)
    I, for one, would've liked to see what KO had said since I can't seem to find [via search] any indication here [at this website] or in the transcripts"

    Or rather the link takes you to something about MJFox.

    I heard about this website and thought I would visit it. This is a joke---right. The people running this can't be serious. Do you really want to compare the truthfulness and accuracy of what Olbermann says to what the likes of Limbaugh, Cavuto, Hannity, O'Reilly, the entire Bush adminsistration, all of FOX News say every day? I'd say I feel bad for you, but I don't. You are helping to destroy this country.

    HEY! If you enjoyed that Scooter reading, check out the stuff from the QUEEN OF ALL SMUT, Lynn Cheney. (She's a spicy one, don't 'cha know?)You know, that little blond trollop married to VP Dick Cheney? Yeah, that one, the one with the lesbian daughter? I knew you could dig that.

    http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/10/lynne-cheney-tells-cnn-that-lesbian.html

    Blitzer asked her about it.

    From CNN:
    CNN'S WOLF BLITZER: But you had written a book entitled "Sisters."

    LYNNE CHENEY: I did write a book entitled "Sisters."

    BLITZER: And it did have lesbian characters.

    CHENEY: No, not necessarily. This description is a lie, I'll stand on that.

    BLITZER: There is nothing in there about rapes and brothels?

    CHENEY: Wolf, could we talk about a children's book for a minute?

    Now tell me again about moral high ground would you Robert or Johnny?

    It's all about the hypocrisy of even bringing it up.

    I've got to tell y'all, this website is total shit. I saw this site linked from somewhere else and was interested in what a nit picky critic of Olberman was saying (out of curiosity regarding what wingers were saying). Instead I found this lame-ass site where every post seems to copy the transcript from the previous Countdown show. The deuche who runs this site is lazy, incompetent, and/or just not that bright.

    Stay the course.

    "I feel so much frustration with these websites where intelligent people spend their time being partisan hacks."


    Uhh this is about the most hilarious crock I have yet to find on my favorite internet sight, KO Watch, as if the writer of the above quote can judge who is intelligent when he boasts about Bill O'really's number of viewers as if quantity and quality are some how interchangeable.

    This page is great. Where else can the frustrated observer of America's under class go to vent about the pin heads that like to wallow in their delusions of grandeur by reading their Limbaugh/Hannity garbage on a web page. Like whipping out your self phone in the grocery store check out to call someone so you can show the world that your up and coming in your quest to live beyond the trailer park culture your parents raised you in.

    The fact that Fox News and Bill O'liely are leading in viewers reflects more about the level of wide spread ignorance in American culture rather than about the correctness of their content. All one has to do is see that it is a media outlet that caters to the same desires of the bible belt culture that put Swaggert, Jim and Tammy Baker, Farwell and dozens of other Hillbilly preachers on the television as representatives of them. Tammy Baker is a shining example of why Fox News and Bill O'really are big hits!

    Keep up the good work. This page is a delight!

    "Stay the Course" was hilarious.

    Keep an eye out for a new beer from Eugene called "Ninkasi" it will be a hit for the micro beer lovers!

    I must apologize; I thought you were asking about the question in the post immediately above yours regarding waterboarding. But you did specify two links that were in error and have been fixed. Though what Olby said IS directly quoted after each link.

    Thank you. I found one of the links but I want to see the other.

    JD:

    When you directed me back to your link regarding waterboarding, I really thought I was going to see something eye opening. However, all the link did was put me back to an earlier edition of your OB bashing forum. I saw no proof there, as you seemed to allege.

    The administration, except for Cheney's latest slip, won't even admit they are doing it, but YOU claim to have proof that it "has saved thousands of lives"

    The post by Brad above is one of the best ones I have read on this site, and it is one of the few posts that is not even partisan. Even my posts I admit are partisan.

    I have been reading these posts for some time trying to find evidence of all the "lies" you people keep accusing Olbermann of, and I can't find any evidence of anyone posting anything proving he is a liar. On the contrary, while I am not claiming he has never gotten his facts wrong, I think it's pretty clear he has a pretty good research team working with his show.

    Finally, even if waterboarding WAS proven to work, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN THAT! Stooping to the level of your enemies serves to make you no better than they are, and that might help explain why there is so much hatred for us in the Muslem world right now. Mostly what we have done is taken a bad situation and made it infinitely worse.

    Mike, what was the "earlier edition" that the link put you back to? Are you seriously claiming it did not present extremely strong evidence that waterboarding has in fact worked and saved thousands of lives? Or did you simply not bother to watch it?

    You claim you cannot find evidence of the lies of Keith Olbermann? Did you bother to read the FAQ and the articles it links to?

    > Finally, even if waterboarding WAS proven to work...

    Nope, that's not the point. The point was Olby's claim that it DOESN'T work, when there is in fact pretty conclusive evidence that it does. Whether it's morally RIGHT or not is another issue, but not the one I nailed Olby on.

    "The deuche who runs this site is lazy, incompetent, and/or just not that bright."

    Come on now Greg don't hold back tell us how you really feel? Do you think perhaps it serves a purpose in promoting a great social commentator of our time? Lemons to lemon aide!

    "Are you seriously claiming it did not present extremely strong evidence that waterboarding has in fact worked and saved thousands of lives? Or did you simply not bother to watch it?"

    Uhh are you totally stupid? Is John McCain some how not credible to a--holes like you? From his mouth he tells TV audiences who don't suffer from rectal cranial inversions that torture does not work for getting useful information for saving lives. It more often gives false and misleading info. I imagine your logic would work if you tortured ever member of an enemy army and civilian population and then chased down all the info they gave to end their torture that you eventually you would get useful info. This is the only way your logic is workable. You and your ilk are an embarrassment to this nation!

    Only a--holes with their head up their ass has no clue what their nation stands for and at the same time makes arguments to erode the significance of our nations laws and morality. Total a--hole!

    Yes, you said it so well. It is some of the evangelical preachers that set the table for this whole era were living through. What a shame to have the teachings of Jesus Handed over to people who would manipulate the population into believing that he would be for waterboarding and smart bombs.

    Ah so Mad Rad didn't follow the link either. Good idea. Don't get your mind polluted with all that distracting contrary information when you already know you have a monopoly on truth.

    "Or did you simply not bother to watch it?"
    I didn't. Who uses quicktime? Sorry, from a professional view, I think QT suc
