Olbermann Watch - MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Malkin Fans Launch Anti-Olbermann Jihad on YouTube

Malkin Fans Launch Anti-Olbermann Jihad on YouTube

Virginian Heffernen of The New York Times is sick of the "Filipina Firecracker" and her cries of YouTube censorship - Malkin's account has been shut down due to complaints that her video rants were "offensive". She is even less happy that Malkinite My Pet Jawa has lauched a "turnabout is fairplay" campaign to get Olbermann videos banned from the popular video sharing site.

I think I smell a WPIW nomination for Michelle.

UPDATE: Michelle's Hot Air photoshops the issue.

UPDATE: Jeremi Tripp at Star Dog Cafe has convinced himself that Olbermann Watch and/or its readers are responsible for his Olbermann video being "yanked" from Google Video and that he is being "stalked" because he was linked by OlbyWatch in the past (for posting on KO's special comments and not for anything to do with his Google Videos):

I was skeptical about Google yanking my Keith Olbermann video. There are plenty of Keith Olberman videos on Google video. In fact, the same video that I posted is right here on Google video. I then found out that I was linked at this crazy ass blog. Why would anyone who hates Keith Olbermann create a website called www.olbermannwatch.com/? I have a suspicion that some fan or fans of this ass-tard blog complained to Google, so Google yanked my video.

Can I prove it? No.

My question is, why are these idiots so enraged about Keith Olbermann? Is it because Keith speaks the truth?

and

Hey, OlbermannWatch, I sending you some free advice. If you do not like Keith Olbermann, then stop watching it. You will do yourself some good. You might be able to sleep at night, instead of tossing and turning about Keith's latest diatribe about The Decider.

I left him a comment pointing out that he is confused, that My Pet Jawa issued a fatwah on Olbermann videos in retaliation for the same on Malkin videos and that we have NOTHING to do with that. In fact, quite the opposite since we here at Olbermann Watch want MORE people to view Olbermann's rants so they can see for themselves what kind of KOOK KO really is. My comment closed on this note:

That you do not have your facts staight, that you make accusations based on baseless assumptions and that you then use your "conslusions" to make hyperbolic attacks goes a long way towards explaining why you are a Keith Olbermann fan and an "OlbyLoon" in good standing.

If you REALLY want to "be like Keith", then DO NOT apologize for casting false aspersions aaand claim that what you wrote as "accurate" even if the basis for the claims were "fake".

UPDATE:Apparently Jeremi is taking issue with my comment on his site.

Olby will just cry "goon tactics", cite the deal where Malkin posted the poster from the nutjobs in California (though he'll ignore that the DUmmies and Kossacks posted pictures of her house in retaliation). Then, he'll somehow tie in the "Digital Brownshirts" and then revive the Sample of Tide in his mailbox story as proof that the conservatives are bad.

I have a feeling by the end of this weekend every video will be flagged on you-tube.

PC GONE BERSERK!

Who's gona buy these guys? They better wait a week, I have a feeling they will be able to get it at a rock-bottom price.

You-Tube just opened up Pandora's Box.

I'd say the dirty little secret is that... Malkin could show video criticising Christianity or Judaism till Jesus comes back....

YouTube is afraid of video critical to Muslims... because they don't want to be targeted by people who would chop off their heads...

Olbermann's special comments don't count because he just criticises Bushies...who will have you arrested, sic the IRS on you, and have you drawn and quartered, but only in an apocryphal sense...man....

Malkin is just another rightwing hack looking for attention and notority from Faux news. Hopefully one day someone will hit her in the face with an anthrax pie. I would prefer an anvil shoved up her ass.

"Virginia Heffernen of The New York Times is sick of the "Filipina Firecracker" and her cries of YouTube censorship...."

I went to that New York Times piece written by that leftist dimwit Ms. Hefferan, but it does not call Malkin a "Filipina Firecracker". Heffernan now calls her a "Fox News Firecracker". Please help. Did Heffernan delete her racist slur and change it? Please advise. Thank you.

"Virginian Heffernen of The New York Times is sick of the 'Filipina Firecracker'...."

I went to the piece by that leftist dimwit Ms. Heffernan, and it does not call Malkin a "Filipina Firecracker". It now calls her a "Fox News Firecracker". Please advise. Has that site been changed to delete the racist slur? Thank you.

By Robert Cox on October 6, 2006 6:41 PM

Tom, yes it has. They changed it twice.

The first time it read "Filipina Firecracker"

Then they changed it to "Filipina-American Firecracker"

Now they have it as "Fox News firecracker"

I sent the screen grabs to Michelle, she will post them with a hat tip back here to us. As that part of the story is not really KO-specific I am not putting up a post on it here other than what we already have up.

By Bill O'lielly on October 6, 2006 6:43 PM

Or you could just call Malkin worthless hag trying to cut into Man Cu--ler's airtime.

O'lie-lie, go take off your pantyhose and hang yourself.

By Tom on October 6, 2006 7:23 PM

Robert, thanks for the note.

By Robert Cox on October 6, 2006 7:24 PM

Sure, happy to help.

By Bill O'lielly on October 6, 2006 7:40 PM

Anon... Sorry it is too late Man Cu--ler is already taking in all the transexual appreciaters from the Tri-state area.. You will have to wait your turn to sniff ' her ' jockstrap.

One OlbyLoon blogger is convinced that Olbermann Watch is STALKING him because we LINKED his site.

By Brandon on October 8, 2006 12:08 PM

Ah, but what would the Olbyloons and Olby himself have to hold on to if not for conspiracy theories? Facts you see are forbidden in their little world, they prefer fantasies and lies wrapped up in pretty little bows to explain the big bad world to them. Oh wel, to each their own, at least they are good for a few laughs, and they are indeed nothing else if not laughable.

to be a conservative makes sense if one is conserving something noble, just, or humane.

Modern conservatives stand for plunder. Those among you who truly do want to uphold American ideals of justice, temperance, rule of law, etc, will slowly desert the patriotic stampede of herd animals running in line with the most vacuous example of leadership in US history.

Pay close attention to the temperate among your movement - they are starting to see the light, and are beginning to distance themselves from Bush & co. Torture, surveillance, corruption, greed - why tie yourself to this littany of disgusting behavior?

Get out while you can, for the humble pie conservatives will soon be eating gets more and more bitter as time wears on.
