    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    March 22, 2007
    Countdown with Keith Olbermann - March 22, 2007

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

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • CONGRESS VS. WHITE HOUSE: Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), chair of Senate Judiciary Committee
    • CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: John Dean, fmr. Nixon White House counsel and author of "Conservatives Without Conscience"
    • ELIZABETH EDWARDS' CANCER HAS RETURNED: Chris Cillizza, washingtonpost.com

    Olbermoronn was in hog heaven as he orated the opening spiel: subpoenas approved, GonzalesGate, clip of Leahy (D), clip of the AG, plugs for the disbarred lawyer and Leahy, Mrs Edwards's cancer, true crime, and the latest American Idol "scandal" [Ding!]. Man, talk about the devaluing of language. All this and, sadly, more on a Thursday Hour of Spin.

    MADMAN

    #5: A "scandal" [Ding!] evoking Watergate [Ding!], just like Nixon [Ding!]. It's a true Watergate [Ding!] comparison with felon Dean. But first, the AG is staying in his job "apparently for the sake of the children" (Blue Blog Source: Think Progress). Subpoenas authorized, but not yet issued. Specter (R) ridiculed. Clip of Specter vs Leahy. Clip of Tony Snow.

    Then the Dem of the Day: Leaky Leahy, who got Great Thanksed before he said a single word. [Gaze upon The List again and be further amazed.] Edward R Olbermann honed in with scalpel-like questioning worthy of Perry Mason:

    • Are the gauntlets thrown down?
    • Do you have any expectation on Mr Sampson?
    • How can you hold that, the actual issuing, in the gun?
    • Perhaps that's why there is an oath.
    • Are there rabbits in hats that you have that we don't know about?
    • Is there evidence that suggests the administration may have been acting not just improperly, but in some cases illegally?

    The answer to that last question was, based on Leaky's evasion, "no", but Olby let Leaky ramble on in lengthy narratives, with nary a follow-up or critical inquiry to be heard.

    Then it was on to John Dean with "this White House in Crisis". Wait a minute. Stop the tivo! Where have we heard that before? Let's do an OlbyFlashback:

    • White House in crisis. The president says his government thwarted a terrorist plot against the tallest building in Los Angeles. (9 Feb 2006)
    • This week could bring indictments against senior members of his administration... is it, in fact, the White House in crisis?(24 Oct 2005)
    • A White House truly in crisis. (13 Mar 2007)
    • The White House in crisis. The president's crisis, what to do about the fresh hell of the Middle East. (17 July 2006)
    • The rundown for tonight's show was given a title by our producer that shook me. The title simply was, "White House in Crisis." (20 Oct 2005)

    Like we said, devaluing the language. But we digress. Back to the latest meeting of Rev Olbermann's Criminal Rehabilitation Program, with convicted felon Dean there to compare GonzalesGate with Watergate [Ding!]. Or, as the graphic read, "worse than Watergate" [Ding!]. The US attorney "scandal" [Ding!] and its parallels to you-know-what. Nixon! [Ding!] Watergate! [Ding!] Felon Dean claimed only conversations with the President are protected by executive privilege (one of the dangers of getting your legal advice from a disbarred lawyer is that he might spew patent nonsense). The criminal speculated with a lot of weasel words, and eagerly bit when Fat Ass tossed him a softball about the power of the executive branch. The felon blamed everything on Nixon [Ding!](check!), Reagan (check!), Bush (check!), and Bush (check!). Hmm. Is there a pattern there? We report, you decide. The disbarred lawyer went on about the "tip of the iceberg", and his brilliant way with the English language so impressed Olbermoronn that he Great Thanksed him for his "insights". Gag.

    #3: Mrs Edwards's cancer, at first handled with delicacy and solemnity. (We leave it to others to compare and contrast with Monkeymann's demeanor when reporting on the health of Dick Cheney.) But then Keith had to make it all about him, trumpeting how Mrs Edwards once confided to Olbermahn how happily she thought of her late son whenever she watched Keith on tv. "She wanted to thank me for that memory." Of course she did. Cillizza echoed Olby's claim that nobody in politics is held in as much regard as she is, and they batted around the implications. Great thanks.

    #2: True crime (regurgitated NBC reportage), Bill Jefferson Clinton, Paul McCartney. #1: Even still more American Idol stuff, with Olby not even getting that right (confusing the "bottom three" with the "bottom two"). In the Media Matters Minute, "comedian Rush Limbaugh", plus another shot at Glenn Beck for referring to Rosie O'Donnell as a "fat witch" (Blue Blog Source: Media Matters). It's "weightphobia", according to Monkeymann. Glenn, Glenn. We told you. You have to use terms like slut, c-nt, whore, fat ass, fatso, psychotic, circular, and schmuck. Stick with name-calling that is Certified Olbermann Approved. You see, then it's not "weightphobia". Then it's "the future of television news".

    OLBY

    Muted mongrels: Herr Olbermann loves to blow about government spending, bellowing about "your tax dollars at work" when it's something that might embarrass one of his enemies. Like the Republican Congress. Like the staff of the Republican Congress. Like Sen Stevens (R). Or the US Military. Or Tony Snow. Or Bush. And yet, "Man on Fan" Olbermann has said not one critical word about the outrageous pork doled out by Nancy Pelosi for everyone from peanut farmers to spinach producers as bribes to get them to back her latest Iraq war bill. Meanwhile, terrorists who killed US troops have been captured; apparently Olbermahn could care less.

    Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name is #9,016 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #206. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome is #3,154 at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,009 there. Wednesday's Hour of Spin sunk like a cement block in quicksand. The infamous, deplorable one finished in a miserable fourth place, both in total viewers and in the critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo". There is no joy on OlbyPlanet. Mighty Olby has struck out. The MisterMeter had the night off.

    How classless of Olby to make a me-me moment out of Elizabeth Edwards' breast cancer struggle. This clown will find a way to make himself the story (and in the most glowing of terms) no matter how tasteless the end result is. Keith Anally is the most despicable person in the world.

    Top 15 Ways to Spot the Olber-Obsessed:

    (50% More facts than your average top-10 list!)
    ¬¬_______________________________________________________________________

    1.) The Olber-Obsessed repeatedly use the term ‘OlbyLoon’ whether the poster says anything in support of Olbermann or not. This will also be proven by all the posts in response to this post.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    "You got to be kidding me. A bunch of necks sitting around their computers, high-fiving each other on a message board dedicated to a TV show by an ex-sportscaster?"
    And an Olbyloon coming to his (her?) hero's defense! LOL!
    Posted by: JohnE at March 19, 2007 11:43 PM
    As for report comment function, that's Mr Cox's department. And I don't think he wants to do that anyhow. Since watching OlbyLoons in their natural habitat not only shows them up for what they are, but it's also great entertainment.
    Posted by: johnny dollar at March 15, 2007 11:12 PM
    Not an Olbermann fan huh? And how many other lies have you told today?
    Posted by: Brandon at March 16, 2007 1:09 PM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    2.) The Olber-Obsessed let their paranoia show by claiming everyone is ‘Mikey.’
    ______________________________________________________________________
    I only bring up mikey/woozy because he said the other day he wasn't going to post here anymore because he was tired of losing and 5 minutes later he was making posts, anonomously, of course. His posts aren't hard to see, like tonight. I brought up moab and he immediately posted, like before. He has no will power.
    Posted by: jeff at March 18, 2007 12:56 AM
    Factor, remember mikey,woogy,mutt,beverly,cecil?All the same olbyloon. He is now calling himself cw. A coward is right! Yes, I am jeff and I changed my name to royalking and I am man enough to admit it, unlike the coward little mikey. He reasorts to "anon", also.
    Posted by: royalking at March 21, 2007 1:27 AM
    little mikey refers to himself as "he", how psycho/olbyloonist is that?
    Posted by: jeff at March 20, 2007 1:21 AM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    3.) The Olber-Obsessed accuse ‘OlbyLoons’ of ‘changing the subject’ when anyone, such as Bush or O’Reilly are mentioned. If Olbermann speaks out against the Bush Administration or Fox or O’Reilly, and an Olbermann fan comes on and attempts to explain why he does so, that isn’t even close to changing the subject. It’s just bringing up things the Olber-Obsessed don’t want to talk about, Olbermann’s views and support for them.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    I'm sure there is no one else around to offer up his unique refrain that essentially countered all comers with "I know you are but what is Bush".
    Posted by: Cecelia at March 16, 2007 1:45 PM
    I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, but I'll try to make it simple so everyone, even OlbyLoons, can get it.
    This site is called Olbermann Watch.
    This site is NOT called A Government Official Watch.
    Clear now?
    Posted by: johnny dollar at March 17, 2007 3:47 PM
    No, they think the site is called Bushwatch or foxWatch or whatever, JD. They've never grasped the concept that this site is called Olbermannwatch. Remember the tiresome Mike and his insistence that any discussion of Olbermann was "off-topic"?
    Posted by: Brandon at March 17, 2007 4:24 PM
    Why post a list of O'Reilly's guests? I don't know, maybe because the name of this board isn't O"reilly watch?
    Posted by: Brandon at March 15, 2007 10:54 PM


    _______________________________________________________________________

    4.) The Olber-Obsessed are deathly afraid of George Soros because he has as much money as Murdoch. BTW Murdoch actually owns a media conglomerate, Soros does not.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Olberman has no talents he's a sock puppet for Clinton and soros!
    Posted by: Rodan at March 15, 2007 5:01 PM
    Hey Nate don't bitch you have Soreass controlling Ulbermahn.
    Us patriotic Moderate-Liberals and Conservatives have Fox.
    Don't bitch just because the Leftist-Islamic alliance doesn't control everything.
    f--- Iran!
    f--- Al-Qaeda!
    f--- the Left!
    Posted by: The Joker at March 17, 2007 3:12 AM
    Soreass is a Stalinist, his goal is to establish a Stalinist state. Ulbermahn is his propaganda piece. He has losers like you to establish this Stalinist state.
    You're a clown Coward watch. you're a senile bafoon.
    Posted by: Rodan at March 16, 2007 1:02 AM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    5.) The Olber-Obsessed think everything should be exactly the way they want it to be.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Bob and Johnny,
    I really wish you two would rethink this new look for the site. It's awful. So user unfriendly. I just hate it.
    Posted by: Cecelia at March 19, 2007 9:39 PM
    Bob,
    You need stricter rules for these morons AND a new layout.
    Posted by: Cecelia at March 20, 2007 12:24 AM


    _______________________________________________________________________

    6.) The Olber-Obsessed use words taught to them by their conservative heroes such as O’Reilly, Malkin, and Savage.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    The only way to debate the "unhinged" is to insult them.
    Posted by: Rico at January 14, 2007 7:54 PM
    Another result of ‘secular humanist’ thinking....but hey, with all we have to do, who's got time to take care of Grandpa?
    Posted by: cee at January 16, 2007 1:47 PM
    "Liberalism, it is proven day in and day out right here on this site, it is a horrible mental disorder."
    Yes Jeff....The liberal immedietely becomes emotional, demogogues the issue and looks for someone to blame......never SOLVING the problem.
    Posted by: cee at February 21, 2007 2:09 PM
    Decider, sadly mistaken, again, Hannity and Lizard face Colmes have never used the "liberalism is a mental disorder." That come from the great Micheal Savage and it couldn't be truer.
    Posted by: jeff at February 21, 2007 4:11 PM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    7.) The Olber-Obsessed make claims to have the ‘Higher Ground.’ Remember, Higher Ground is like Zen, if you have to claim it, you ain’t got it.
    _______________________________________________________________________

    Rico, come on. That last comment was beneath you and out of line. Remember, slicing with a scapel is more painful than bludgeoning with a broadaxe. It also gives you the high ground, which by right, is ours anyway.

    Posted by: Janet Hawkins at January 14, 2007 7:07 PM
    _______________________________________________________________________

    8.) The Olber-Obsessed get VERY defensive when someone points out the unworthiness of this endeavor called Olbermann Watch.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    It's Mike who posts here all hours of the day and night. And it's you liberals who keep posting the same talking points (Bush Bad! Olbermann perfect!). I'd say that it's the libs here who don't have a life.
    Posted by: Brandon at January 17, 2007 10:29 PM
    How can these people not realize how idiotic it sounds to claim to care or know little about Olbermann yet find your way to this site in order to spend time chiding the regulars on wasting their time!
    Posted by: Cecelia at March 20, 2007 12:32 AM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    9.) The Olber-Obsessed proudly display their ignorance by not bothering to learn to spell or write while posting in a public forum. Then, predictably, accuse the ‘OlbyLoons’ of focusing on such errors while ignoring the debate.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Brandon, that is an olbyloon go to, when they get caught trying to debate an issue of which they no nothing about and they are called on it, they go after any spelling errors. That would be known as "blame, scapegoat and divert" tactics.
    Posted by: jeff at March 13, 2007 12:51 PM
    Can any olbyloon explain why when they loose a debate they go back and do grammar checks to find typo's? Does Ulbermahn tell you to do that in your dreams?
    Posted by: jeff at March 15, 2007 12:37 PM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    10.) The Olber-Obsessed show their undying support for Fox News.
    _______________________________________________________________________

    Get over it Olby lovers. Fox News speaks truth to power. You are afraid to watch because if you do, it might educate your simple terrorist brain and you might enjoy living in your own country.

    How bout that Great American Hannity, he had Dick Morris on tonight, always a wealth of info. How bout that Billary add? It's only gonna get worse for Billary.
    Posted by: jeff at March 20, 2007 1:19 AM
    This is not a "news" site. It is Olbermann Watch dedicated to Krazy Keith and the 60 Minute Cyclone/Hour O' Spin. If you want news, I highly recommend Fox News.com the #1 News Channel, Drudge Report and Micheal Savage.com.
    Posted by: royalking at March 22, 2007 12:36 PM

    _______________________________________________________________________

    11.) The Olber-Obsessed ,when faced with the fact that Fox News is just as partisan as Olbermann, repeatedly claim that their only beef with Olbermann is that he doesn’t admit he’s Liberal and the MSNBC website calls him an ‘anchor’ while his show is mainly commentary. Like anyone watching Olbermann (left, right, or otherwise) wouldn’t be able to determine the nature of the content by simply watching it. C’mon, I thought right wingers were supposed to give the general public more credit than that!

    If you're so outraged about truth-telling, why don't you ask your cult-leader Olbermann why he presents such an unbalanced "news" program and why there's never anyone who tells the ENTIRE story on his program? You're a hypocrite of the worst order.

    13.) The Olber-Obsessed proudly display their ‘Love / Hate’ relationship with Olbermann (According to Cecelia). If loving someone while simultaneously hating them isn’t the definition of ‘Obsessed’ I really don’t know what is.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    No one was watching him when we started writing about him [in Fall of 2004]. He had about 100,000-odd viewers. I thought Keith was the most interesting, controversial, dynamic person on TV. -Robert Cox (in the Greatest Article Ever Written)

    How profound, freud.... Olby Watchers and Olby fans flock here and not only find Olbermann interesting, controversial and dynamic,...misguided....askew.... but often find non-MSNBC staffer/political opponents the same.

    14.) The Olber-Obsessed , when faced with the obvious facts about the Bush administration, they repeatedly claim that ‘Bush doesn’t matter’ and ‘my world doesn’t revolve around Bush.’ Does Clinton matter more than Bush now that he’s been out of office for 7 years? Does your world revolve around Clinton? Apparently it does.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Sorry, but Bush isn't focal point of everyone's life. Only Loons are obssesed with Bush. Most people don't care about him and go on with their lives, whethere they approve of him or not. I know people that voted against and don't support Bush and they tell me that you Bush obssesed loons are annoying. They agree with your criticism but not you focus. They have other things going on in their lives. Get a life!

    Jeff you are not telling the truth. There was never a clip on this site of Ann Coulter talking about Olby's "worst glasses in the world". And no such clip was ever removed. You are very wrong about this and you should apologize to Mr Cox, the webmaster of this site, the #1 Keith Olbermann blog in the world, for accusing him of removing a clip just because you can't accurately remember its contents.

    _______________________________________________________________________


    …And before you try to slam me for posting this compilation let me drop some knowledge on you: It didn’t take long. About 5 minutes to come up with the 15 observations and about 35 minutes to compile the data. 40 minutes is about the same time it takes the Olber-Obsessed to come up with a way to insult Olbermann’s make-up, glasses, or dick size. And I wasn’t cherry picking. I took examples from only a handful of days, just think what I could have done with 3-4 years worth of archives! And don’t accuse me of taking posts out of context. These posts would mean the exact same thing regardless of context and you know it!

    Now, bear in mind, I’ve said nothing in this post in support of Olbermann. I’m not an Olbermann Fan. I don’t watch Olbermann. If you’ve seen one show, you’ve seen them all-which makes the daily recaps here seem even more pointless. I don’t watch a lot of political-based TV, but when I do, it’s usually a blend of Dobbs, Scarborough, Maher, and a little Jon Stewart or O’Reilly thrown in for comedy relief. But, predictably, the Olber-Obsessed will assume I am lying because the one underlying trait that all Olber-Obsessed possess is the undying belief that if you don’t speak out against Olbermann, then you must be an Olbyloon. Which is interesting, since 99.9 % of Americans don’t speak out against Olbermann, then the Olber-Obsessed are truly living on Olby Planet.

    The real irony here that the Olber-Obsessed don’t seem to grasp is that in their bitter misplaced hatred of Olbermann, they have become him. The difference? He has a TV show and fans, all the Olber-Obsessed have is this website. The Olber-Obsessed worst fear is to be called out for being hypocritical by an impartial observer with no dog in the fight. Now, I admit, I do have a ‘dog’ in the fight. The dog that bites hypocrites on the Ass!

    I don’t care if the Olber-Obsessed read or heed this post. Their pathology runs too deep. This is mainly for the unbiased free-thinkers who come here, if there are still any.

    I can’t wait to see the Olber-Obsessed scramble to deflect the light of truth, like cockroaches under a beam from a flashlight. After all, they are obsessed, right? I’m sure the ‘monkey see’ ‘monkey do’ copycat posts will follow.

    …And I’m not saying those who you refer to as ‘Olbyloons’ aren’t without their faults. I’ll just leave that to the Olber-Obsesssed to point out. I know you guys won’t disappoint me!

    And, may I add, not only did he glom onto her terrible circumstance, he also abused the memory of her dead son in the process. You are truly vile, Olby.

    As some of you will have noticed, I've been messing around with the left rail of the site today. I was taught how to use php calls from Movable Type to add HTML elements to the site and I am setting about putting back in some of the elements that were taken out during the relaunch.

    Something I did caused the individual archive pages (with the comments) to disappear. I fixed that but do not be shocked if you find something on the fritz over the next couple of days. That's just me breaking things as I learn how to use php calls.

    If you see a problem and it lasts more than 10 minutes it could be that I am not aware of it so please do not hesitate to shoot me an email.

    Thanks for your patience.

    PS to Cecellia - I think we are kinda stuck with the font size for now but as I learn more stuff I will see about adding a button to offer the option of larger fonts. Please do not hold your breath on that one.

    Dear Truth Syndicate,

    Dang, why didn't you let me publish your comment as a guest post. Anyone who puts in that much work deserves a place on the main page. Email me if you are interested.

    If there was a god I would thank him for allowing Keith O to be so intellectually superior.

    I thought you and all the loons worshipped Olbermann as your God O'Lielly?

    Speaking of which, I think I may need to add "truth-syndicates" "list" to my ongoing series on how to spot an Olbyloon.

    Truth Syndicate,
    Is Coward watch. Most of the exchanges were with him. I think CW is a member of the Kult of Keith!

    Oh my...Olbermann ratings hit the basement once again!

    Hey Dan Abrams, what do you get for 4 Million?
    A shiny EMPTY silk suit ! Bwaaahaaaahaaa...

    With all the Republican "scandals" one would think Olbermann's ratings would be at an all time high?

    What do you get when you give a leftist, washed up sportscaster a news commentary show? Progressive Failure!

    I am done monkeying around with the site tonight.

    I've got a new survey in the left rail along with a few other goodies that have been missing in action since last month. Enjoy!

    Uhoh Keith, closing in on that magic 10,000th+ ranking on amazon.com.

    Keithy needs to get some of his peeps to stop watching O'Reilly and Beck to see what they say and start watching KO's own show....4th? c'mon!

    WOW, 4th place, how pathetic. Olbermann was almost caught by that arch criminal on CNBC. There is another muted mongrel for you Johnny. Olbermann spikes the sorry about his financial buddy on CNBC's Mad Money being a con man.

    Truth Syndicate,

    Good list! You forgot #16: The Olbermann-Obsessed also moonlight with other "blogs" devoted to the greatness that is FOX news while never, ever mentioning it.

    http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/iblog/

    Also never mentioned: the astronomically larger amount of traffic that their Olbermann-Obsessed site generates over their sad, little FOX site.

    The Chemist,

    The Truth Syndicate at March 22, 2007 9:09 PM

    And I thought I was Olber-obsessed because I watch and quote, Olbermann all the time.
    But i've got nothing on these people

    KEITH ROCKS!!!! the right wingnuts suck!!!

    Gee, I wonder who it was that wasted their whole day making one of the most idiotic posts ever on this blog? It wasn't coward watch. One hint, he is the biggest hypocrit, by far, that has ever posted on this blog. I could, easily, counter every single one of those comments with more rediculous "Olbyloon" comments,but, I have better things to do. This person calls himself an "stock analyist" and only posts here in between "transactions". I guess he had no transactions to do today because I gaurantee you that took him all day, just another one of his bare faced lies. I'll give him credit for one thing, it was slightly entertaining.

    Rico, come on. That last comment was beneath you and out of line. Remember, slicing with a scapel is more painful than bludgeoning with a broadaxe. It also gives you the high ground, which by right, is ours anyway.

    High ground? ha ha ha ha ha hah ahhahahahahahahahhehehehahahehehehaah. You would have to be high to believe that.

    Hey "The Truth Syndicate"... nice post.

    Codas,
    Where've you been, at your local mosque?

    Did Ulbermahn mention Glenn Beck calling him "what's his name" and "Fat Head" today? Halarious, I say.

    royalking,
    I'm glad that Beck is hitting back at Ulbermahn. He called Beck increasingly unhinged. I guess Ulbermahn is not used to being hit back.
    I hope Beck continues the assault.

    Did Ulbermahn mention that a liberal Feinstein actually had serious issues with one of the fired US attny's? Did he mention that one of them was fired because he refused to prosecute dope cases unless they had at least 500 lbs? That's right, 500 lbs!

    Rodan, I told you earlier that olbyloon philby was going to slam you on your spelling and she did. She had nothing else. One of your posts had a bunch of mis-spelled words, she nailed you on that one, too, were they intentional? Were you messing with her? I told you that's what loons do when they have nothing else.

    Factor, are you talking about that bald coke head that runs around like a raving lunatic frothing at the mouth like Chris Mathews?

    "Codas,
    Where've you been, at your local mosque?
    Posted by: Rodan at March 23, 2007 12:08 AM "

    Codas has been skulking around posting under various nom de plumes, all of them heinous.

    The poor boy so wants to be accepted as a player. I sometimes almost feel sorry for him. But that fleeting emotion always wafts away when I recall that he posted that I, we, begged 'No, Daddy don't"

    He is of no consequence and I think he knows it.

    >Like we said, devaluing the language.

    Seriously Bush Supporters, that includes you Johnny BUSHWIPE and sponsor, "devaluing the language"... ehr... spinning... blow_viating... as the Billdo sez.

    You Bush Supporters might as well try a few of the Google hacks and design a banner for this site, including your's Johnny, announcing:

    "WE SUCK! WE CAN'T EXCUSE MORON IN CHIEF!
    BUT WE'LL DEFEND HIM AND FAUX NEWS BECAUSE WE HATE LBRULS!!"

    BTW, "I'M A REAL REAGAN CONSERVATIVE"

    Sure you are! Every shamed BUSHWIPE says so!!

    WOW! I THOUGHT this RoyalKing character had finally decided to lose his MORONIC obsession with me, but apparently I was wrong! It appears he is NOW accusing of being "The Truth Syndicate" (second and third posts of the evening).

    Sorry but I just can't take credit for those posts. I WISH that they HAD been my posts! ....they were EXCELLENT! I can assure you that IF they had been my posts, I would certainly have wanted to take credit for them myself. You see 'RoyalKing', I'm not even smart enough to come up with post's like that, but thanks for giving me credit for them anyway.

    Your ongoing obsession with me has a psychiatric laymans' term known as "Bi-Polar disorder", or "Obsessive-Compulsive disorder". You really SHOULD get that checked...or it could be that you've just been kicked in the head one time to many by one of your horses.

    Now lets review a few more 'errors' in your most recent drivel obsessing about me:
    1) - While I certainly stated that I post "between transactions", I NEVER stated I was a "stock analyist". 'Royalking', I'm not smart enough to be a 'stock analyist' either, but once again....thanks for giving me credit I don't deserve, even if it is another one of your lies!
    2) - You also just called me the "biggest 'hypocrit', by far, that has ever posted on this blog"...oh my...that's YOUR moronic opinion, but I believe I would rather be thought of as a 'hypocrit' than prove beyond a shadow of a doubt to be a MORON, like you do to yourself on this blog...day and night.
    3) - You say you "have better things to do"...apparently you don't, because you make a fool of yourself on this board 24/7.
    4) - Now 'RoyalKing/Jeff', I really THOUGHT you had learned an important lesson with your earlier moronic 'IMBOCILE' post, but apparently you are incapable of learning anything! If you are going to call somebody a 'HYPOCRIT', you damned well better make sure you spelled it correctly!...it's HYPOCRITE, you MORON!

    I think if anyone wants to go to the earlier thread of today, and view posts of RoyalKing, you will find him lecturing Rodan on "using spellcheck" before posting. Does anyone else see a little HYPOCRISY on RoyalKing's part here? Other spelling errors you made include 'analyist' (analyst), and, 'rediculous' (ridiculous).

    RODAN, you might want to lecture RoyalKing a little about using a spellchecker!

    I had not planned to post a thing tonight, but responding to this obsessed MORON is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, although it does get a little tiring.

    9.) The Olber-Obsessed proudly display their ignorance by not bothering to learn to spell or write while posting in a public forum. Then, predictably, accuse the ‘OlbyLoons’ of focusing on such errors while ignoring the debate.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Brandon, that is an olbyloon go to, when they get caught trying to debate an issue of which they no nothing about and they are called on it, they go after any spelling errors. That would be known as "blame, scapegoat and divert" tactics.
    Posted by: jeff at March 13, 2007 12:51 PM
    Can any olbyloon explain why when they loose a debate they go back and do grammar checks to find typo's? Does Ulbermahn tell you to do that in your dreams?
    Posted by: jeff at March 15, 2007 12:37 PM

    Funny, I don't see any spelling errors in the above posts. How does that foot feel in your ass?

    lil mikey, did anybody mention your name? No, they didn't. Who's obsessed?

    Rodan, what did I say, when the loons have nothing else, they go after the spelling. There is the proof right there. 3 words out of thousands, that's all he has, that, and no life.

    "Who's obsessed"

    YOU....MORON!

    Royalking,
    Truth Syndicate is Coward Watch. Those exchanges that were posted were against him. I humiliated him yesterday. He's embarrased when he said I knew nothing about the Middle East.
    It turned out was I was Lebanese Christian.
    He has backed off and not posted. Now conceeding defeat, he uses another name and goes off the deep end.
    CW is a sick Jihadi!

    "How does that foot feel in your ass?"

    Pretty good, since you missed you completely the whole point of that segment. Now go back and review segment 15....MORON!

    Keith's hypocracy strikes again. He said that Glenn Beck had "weight phobia" because of what he said about Rosie O'Donnell. This from the same guy who called somebody "fat boy" live on the air. And that person was Rush Limbaugh. Tonight's "Worst Person in the World". Then he goes on to insult Glenn's looks. Saying that Glenn doesn't look good on tv. This from the same man whose face was as red as a lobster.

    With all the Republican "scandals" one would think Olbermann's ratings would be at an all time high?

    I wonder if Michael Savage is aware that such a large part of his fan base are absolutel MORONS, like RoyalKing?

    I suppose he doesn't care, because money is money. 'Dumb' money spends just as well as 'smart' money.

    Rest assured RoyalKing, whan I call you a MORON, I'm not just "calling you names", because you REALLY are a MORON.

    lil mikey, for someone who supposedly didn't waste their whole day on that idiotic post you seem to be strangely defending it, again, refer to my 12:59 post. This time read it twice very carefully. Imagine you are watching Ulbermahn.

    Lick my butt neocons!!

    lil mikey, your last two posts have spelling errors, just thought I would point out you're a total hypocrit, once again.

    Grammie, the MORON was unmistakingly referring to me in his 11:28 post. He had decided to "not mention names", but was still attempting to take digs at me.

    Funny thing is, I had made a resolution to not mention or address him again, as long as he dropped his ridiculous obsession with me. He HAD made a couple of other attempted digs earlier, again 'without naming names', but the one at 11:28 was just too obvious to let go.

    Have you decided to change your screen name to 'Grammie' now? I had been calling you Janet.

    Grammie,
    The Syndicate is the Kreature of the Kult of Keith, Coward Watch!

    RoyalKing: Your too stupid to understand that your not being dissed for spelling errors at all! It's not surprising that you don't get that either, since...as I keep saying, you are a MORON!

    You were called earlier for calling somebody an 'EMBOCILE', while misspelling the very word you used to insult that person's intelligence with. THAT is classic hypocrisy.

    You were called by me for calling me a hypocrit, while misspelling the very word you tried to insult me with.

    You were called for lecturing Rodan about misspellings when YOUR posts have more misspellings than his, and what's worse, you tend to misspell the most relevant words in the post.

    Now, I don't really expect you to understand your own hypocrisy and stupidity. Why, because you're a MORON!

    "The Syndicate is the Kreature of the cult of Keith, Coward Watch."

    I don't believe that at all.

    Well, Mike, I didn't remember your name coming up so I did a 'find' and it only appeared in whatever idiot spent obscene amounts of time on his demented project before your post.

    Might I gently remind you, based on your assessment of me, that taking things too personally might not be the best course to follow.

    As to my name. I began posting here last summer. At that time I was a neophyte in this new world, to me, of the internet. When that little box at the top asked for my name, I gave my legal name.

    I don't remember when or why I started adding 'AKA Grammie'. However, I am known as Grammie to virtually everyone from family, to neighbors, to neighbor's kids. I have a great nephew who started calling me Aunt Janet Grammie. No doubt he will go far because at the age of two he already knows how to cover all the bases.

    When R Cox mentioned TypeKey I signed up as Grammie (only after sending an E-mail asking what a member name was). Although I can't get TypeKey to work I realized that putting my name out there, especially in light of the vicious posts directed to me, isn't the smartest thing to do.

    Mike, you may address me as either Janet or Grammie. Either way, I am me.


    RoyalKing again: "refer to my 12:59 post. This time read it twice very carefully"

    You STILL don't get it....LOL! You are DUUUUMMMMBBBBB!

    mike, dude, could you make any more of an ass out of yourself?

    Grammie:

    He referred to my "posting between trasactions". That was the obvious dead givaway that he was STILL dissing me. I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the only ones who has ever posted that quote on this blog. I'm CERTAINLY the only one RoyalKing is obsessed with that has ever posted that quote. The closest thing to it I ever saw was when Cee said he posted "in between seeing patients".

    If there was any doubt to anyone that he was still referring to me, his 1:24 follow up post should quell any doubt about that.

    That said, you are RIGHT. I AM responding far too personally to this! I have to admit I peeked when I shouldn't have after saying I was not coming back only to find that he had been accusing other poster's over and over again of being me. After that, I couldn't help but keep looking every now and then to see if he was still doing it, and damned if he wasn't. It was funny at first and some other bloggers made some pretty funny references to it, but it started to get pretty old, and thats when I decided to confront it head on.

    When he seemed to tone it down a LITTLE earlier today, I really thought that Johnny or Bob might have contacted him privately to explain that all those posts he claimed were mine were in fact, not mine.

    Your right, I SHOULD just treat it as mindless background noise. I really do want this to stop. I am aware that other people on here are probably getting sick of it, although some may find it amusing.

    "mike, dude could you make any more of an ass of yourself?"

    Whoever, you are, I will give you the benefit of the doubt of believing that you don't have the backgound to all of this? If you think you do, then all I can say is that I respect your opinion.

    OMG..TOO FUNNY!!!...JOHNNY, THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR ALL-TIME BEST!!!...DUDE, YOUVE BEEN SMOKIN SINCE YOU GOT BACK. GREAT STUFF.

    "That said, you are RIGHT."

    No, Mike, I am not right. YOU ARE RIGHT.

    I simply reminded you of your own words, that I have taken to heart.


    grat thanks,

    tonite's worst person in the universe goes to keif olbermann who took the opportunity to promote himself in the news of elizabeth edwards re-occurring cancer. MISTER olbermann described how years ago Mrs. edwards made it point to tell him how important HE was to her when thinking about her son who had passed away. That's just great SIR here is a woman who announces that she has an incurable cancer and you make it a point to tell a story about yourself and how important YOU are have you no decency SIR? Mr. olbermann take a leave of absence and examine that giant ego of your you SIR are a disgrace to the TV 'journalist' fraternity and to disgrace that bunch you sir have to be pretty low.

    as always great thanks tonight

    great thanks

    >Rudy Ramirez

    >Brownback (J) Bush Thomson weve got lots of good choices but not Giliani & we need to stop him if we do hes so vain he may become a DemocRAT just ti spite us & thatd be good cause hed be right at home with the perverts & homos & other people who dont have morals & worse & then wed whip him good.

    Gee, Rudy, have you forgotten 9/11 already?
    Rudy "Giliani" is "America's Mayor".
    It is only logical that the Bush Supporters wrap themselves even tighter in the flag.
    Maybe Dick would welcome a third round as VP, to remind us all that if the DemocRATS win, the terrorists win.

    GO RUDY!!

    Wow.

    Fourth place in the ratings!
    But I thought his ratings were surging?

    Good decision by MSNBC!! :)

    Legal experts appear on the screen
    And on Meltdown it's felon John Dean
    Disbarred legal hack
    Credentials he'll lack
    In a courtroom he'll never be seen

    Rudy Ramirez,
    Your obviously a prankster and a phoney.
    The only Republican that can win in 2008 is Rudy Giulliani. America is sick of Social Conservatives. Rudy neutralizes the Dems on social issues thus putting more states in play.
    If you really care about this cuntry, support Rudy he'll be all that's standing between a Stalinist-Islamic takeover of America.

    Mrs Philby,
    What crimes did Bush commit?

    I like Olbermann's comedy show. It's an outstanding parody.

    philby, how come peanut carter didn't make your list of worst presidents? Can you name one war that was "popular?" So, this one is no different. As to your comment of "never seeing a teacher that tried to indoctrinate their students", have you looked in the mirror lately? Are you really a teacher? If so, I feel sorry for your students!

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    The Left is allied with Islam.
    They Muslims with the Helpd of the Left are already inplementing Sharia law in Minnesota.
    Muslims cab drivers are refusing to serve people with Liquour or Dog guides and Muslims Target store workers are refusing to serve customers with pork.
    The Left supports this.

    Here's an article on this:

    GLOBAL VIEW

    Islamosocialism
    The European left makes common cause with the Muslim right.

    BY BRET STEPHENS
    Sunday, March 18, 2007 12:01 a.m.

    "It is a profound truth," declared the British Socialist Party in a 1911 manifesto, "that Socialism is the natural enemy of religion." Not the least of the oddities in the subsequent history of progressive politics is that today it has become the principal vehicle in the West for Islamist goals and policies.
    Caroline Lucas, a member of the Green Party faction in the European Parliament, is a longtime activist in anti-nuclear, animal-rights and environmentalist causes, and not someone likely to describe herself as an anti-feminist. Yet in June 2004, she joined British MPs Fiona Mactaggart of Labor and Sarah Teather of the Liberal Democrats for a press conference in the House of Commons organized by the Assembly for the Protection of Hijab. The Assembly, better known as Pro-Hijab, is a pan-European organization formed "to campaign nationally and internationally for the protection of every Muslim woman's right to wear the Hijab in accordance with her beliefs and for the protection of every woman's right to dress as modestly and as comfortably as she pleases."

    Once upon a time, feminists and socialists alike would have translated that as "subservience to the patriarchy." Now they seem to have rediscovered their roots as civil libertarians, at least when it's politically expedient. Consider the issue of the Armenian genocide. In 1998, the French-speaking wing of Belgium's Socialist Party (PS) co-sponsored legislation to criminalize denial of the Ottoman Empire's murder of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians, much as Holocaust denial is also against the law.

    Yet for the past several years, the same PS has been blocking the process of criminalization it helped initiate, presumably in the service of free speech. "Additional legal and historical research," says Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Laurette Onkelinx, remains to be done in ascertaining exactly what happened in Anatolia in 1915.

    Progressives have also been remarkably mindful of civil liberties in matters of immigration. When the German state of Baden-Wüttemberg last year required applicants for citizenship to answer a series of questions regarding their personal views, the leader of the German Green Party, Renate Künast, denounced it as "immoral." "A country governed by law," she argued, "cannot ask questions about moral values." Among the questions: "Where do you stand on the statement that a wife should obey her husband and that he can hit her if she fails to do so?"

    Curiously, however, Europe's progressives have been somewhat less tolerant on other issues concerning moral values and personal belief. Take "Islamophobia," which progressives often consider akin to racism and have, in some instances, sought to ban by legal means. In Britain last year, Tony Blair's government enacted the Racial and Religious Hatred Act, which criminalized "threatening" comments against religious persons or beliefs. Comedian Rowan Atkinson and author Salman Rushdie, among others, warned that the law undermined basic rights of speech. But for London Mayor Ken Livingstone it was not enough: He defined "Islamophobia" as "discrimination, intolerance or hostility towards Islam and Muslims," and regretted that criminal acts were not more broadly defined by the legislation.
    Since coming to office nearly seven years ago, Mr. Livingstone has become a symbol of the marriage of the European left and the Islamist right. It's a marriage of mutual convenience and, at least on one side, actual belief. In the Netherlands, a recent study by the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies found that 80% of immigrants--the overwhelming majority of whom are Muslims--voted for the Labor party in recent elections, while the two main center-right parties received a combined 4% of the immigrant vote. In neighboring Belgium, the left-wing sociologist Jan Hertogen credits immigrants for "[saving] democracy" by voting as a bloc against the secessionist and anti-immigrant Vlaams Belang party.

    For Muslim voters in Europe, the attractions of the Socialists are several. Socialists have traditionally taken a more accommodating approach to immigrants and asylum-seekers than their conservative rivals. They have championed the welfare state and the benefits it offers poor newcomers. They have promoted a multiculturalist ethos, which in practice has meant respecting Muslim traditions even when they conflict with Western values. In foreign policy, Socialists have often been anti-American and, by extension, hostile to Israel. That hostility has only increased as Muslim candidates have joined the Socialists' electoral slates and as the Muslim vote has become ever more crucial to the Socialists' electoral margin.

    More mysterious, however, at least as a matter of ideology, has been the dalliance of the progressive left with the (Islamic) political right. Self-styled progressives, after all, have spent the past four decades championing the very freedoms that Islam most opposes: sexual and reproductive freedoms, gay rights, freedom from religion, pornography and various forms of artistic transgression, pacifism and so on. For those who hold this form of politics dear, any long-term alliance with Islamic politics ultimately becomes an ideological, if not a political, suicide pact. One cannot, after all, champion the cause of universal liberation in alliance with a movement that at its core stands for submission.

    This is not, of course, the first time such a thing has happened in the history of the progressive movement, or in European history. On the contrary, it is the recurring theme. In the early 20th century, the apostles of Fabianism--George Bernard Shaw among them--looked to the Soviet Union for inspiration; in the 1960s the model was Mao; in the late 1970s, the great French philosopher Michel Foucault went to Iran to write a paean to Khomeini's revolution. In nearly every case, the progressives were, by later admission, deceived, but not before they had performed their service as "useful idiots" to a totalitarian cause.
    But the stakes today are different. At question for Europeans is not the prevailing view of a distant country. The question is the shaping of their own. Europe's liberal democrats were able, sometimes with outside help, to preserve their values in the face of an outside threat. Whether they can resist the temptations of Islamosocialism remains to be seen.

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    There are plenty of thing to criticize Bush on, however this attorney crap ain't one of them.
    There's no comparison between Nixon and Bush.
    Nixon was smarter!

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    Honestly you're a Leftist elistist snob. You obviously don't realize your PC viewpoint is leading to the demise of the West.
    Example: Why is it when devout Catholics and Evangelicals Complain about something that offends their religious sensitivity, The Left calls them intolerant.
    When Muslims complain, The Left defends them and bends over backwards?
    Hey what about the article?
    Any opinion on it?

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    Can you explain to me the Ilsmaic-Leftist alliance?
    I don't understand it?

    WATERGATE! Thought I'd just say it one more time in case anyone missed it the first 1,000 times. Oh, yeah, and NIXON!

    I wish an honest Leftist would explain to me their alliance with Radical Islam. I just want an honest answer.

    Did you see Keith picking on the girl who cried? I bet he was a schoolyard bully in grade school.

    Feechie,
    As always Ulbermahn does what he criticizes others for.
    His Cult followers will defend him no matter what!

    Thank goodness.. the war is ending now.. turn on CSPN.. Thank you Obey and Murtha et al.

    Bill O'lielly,
    You're on crack.
    The war is ending. Bush isn't pulling the troops out and he'll veto the bill.
    Even if we leave Iraq it will not end.
    The Iranians and their Islamo-Fascist allies will then move on to their next target.
    Eventually they will try to conquer France and Europe.
    Then they'll start their Jihad here.
    Read some history, this war began in 636 when the Muslims attacked the East Roman Empire.

    War is Over... thank you Mrs. Pelosi

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby ,
    If there's no Leftist-Islamic alliance why does the Democratic party support the Council On Islamic American Relations?
    The organization Pro-Hamas, Pro-Hizb'allah and Pro-Al-Qaeda?
    They don't condemn the Iranian and Saudi regimes?

    I believe that the US shouldn't allow Islamic immigrants into this country. Except for Turks and Morrocans who are very Westernized, they don't fit in. They expect everyone to cater to their Sharia rules.

    Rodan, I knew it, philby played the "denial' card! "To her knowledge", that pretty much says it all.

    Oberlman is a classic example of a radical leftist. They have no core values, they don't know what they stand for and they hate the fact that America isn't socialist. He has the audacity to defend Rosie Odonnel, the biggest hate monger on TV? Rosie Odonnel wouldn't know happiness if it smacked her in her fat face. Because even she hates herself, she is incapable of being happy, acknowledging happiness, or that anyone else can possibly be happy because she is full of hate. Oberlman's knee jerk reaction was predictable. Reach for the nearest insulting epithet because he has no facts, he has no core values to carry him. So, all he can do is tear down and insult. He can't defend liberalsim because there is nothing to defend, it isn't substantive. It's just a bunch of pie in the sky platitudes.

    Now I know what they mean when they say someone is as " Dumb as a rock "

    Bill O,
    People have been saying it to you for some time and you just now figured out they were insulting you?

    I am sure millions of people will turn away from Glenn Beck for calling Rosie a fat witch. Rosie is such and loved and respected figure. Olbermann is right on target defending her honor. Maybe Olbermann can help her and Charlie Sheen with their documentary on the 9/11 conspiracies. That will help him catch Bill Orielly's 2.5 million viewers. OK, I have used up my supply of sarcasm for today.

    Yeah Oliely, and I can see why you are an Olberman fan.

    Platitudes and insults, shut the opposition up with meaness. I'm done pussyfooting around with the left.

    When you actually have a point, let me know dumbass.

    royalking,
    Notice Philby had no retort to the Minnesota examples and didn't rtort the article. She may not be an Islamic symapathizer, but Many on the Left as Ulbermahn and Soreass are!

    Rock,
    Notice Keith is quick to condemn the "Rightwing Hatemongers", but engages in name calling himself.
    He then defends Leftist hatemongers himself.
    He's a hack!

    Keith is god... we all bow to his prowess. Anyone who pisses off as many rightwingers as he does is clearly of superior intellect.

    I see Keith's buddy Ahmadinejad is coming to NY. He'll probably stay at Ulbermahn's place!

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby, in words of the great prophet Rosie, you just can't blather on, either bash Olbermann or liberals, or shut up. No one cares what a socialist thinks about George Bush. George Bush is a John F. Kennedy style democrat. Your party is the party of the European socialist. Your ideas have failed on the world stage time and time again. Go back to the Daily Kos; we have enough liberals here already.

    John F. Kennedy - pro-tax cut, pro-military, anti-communist democrat.
    You actually think your party would elect him today? Keep dreaming.

    phily, I see you avoided my questions like the plague....

    Mrs. Philby,
    Biden, McCaskill, Nelson, Tester aren't pro-tax cut, pro-military, anti-communist democrats.
    They're Leftists that hid their true colors until after the Election. They Far-Left.

    Bayh, Salazar and Webb are tax cut, pro-military, anti-communist democrats.

    Philby,
    "Find me a liberal more eager to deal with the UAE than the Vice President."

    By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN


    March 23, 2007 -- THE past few years have seen a concerted international PR campaign to promote Dubai as a tolerant new Mecca of Middle East moderation and amazing economic growth.
    And it's working. Corporate giant Halliburton is moving its headquarters there; the famed Louvre is opening a branch in the emirate. Tourists are flocking to Dubai's luxury hotels.

    But don't be fooled. Dubai, which is one of the seven princedoms of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is anything but tolerant and progressive.

    To put it bluntly: They don't like Jews.

    In fact, Dubai, like the rest of the UAE, is blatantly anti-Semitic. It bars all Israeli citizens from ever setting foot in the country. People from other nations whose passport have stamps indicating they've even visited Israel must notify Dubai immigration authorities of the stamp before entering.

    Dubai is also actively involved in the Arab boycott of Israel: It bans all products made in Israel and even ones with parts made in Israel.

    But the emir of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, understands the value of using prominent Americans to legitimize his country and burnish its image in the American media.

    That's why former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton have been the objects of Dubai largesse. Their Dubai friends have given millions to each of their presidential libraries. And Bill Clinton has raked in more than $1 million for speeches he's given in Dubai and the UAE.

    Dubai's PR machine went into high gear after 9/11 - in part to distract attention from the extensive use the terrorists made of the emirate. More than half of the hijackers traveled to the United States via Dubai. The 9/11 Commission noted that $234,500 of the $300,000 wired to the hijackers and plot leaders in America came via Dubai banks.

    Several months after 9/11, Dubai's newest best friend began his public association with the country. In January 2002, Bill Clinton gave his first Dubai speech (for $300,000). He' been legitimizing the country ever since.

    Clinton was the rainmaker who introduced the emir to his friend and employer, Ron Berkle, the owner of Yucaipa companies and a major fund-raiser for Bill and Hillary.

    Last year, Yucaipa and the emir formed a new company, DIGL, for their joint ventures. So Bill Clinton is now an adviser and member of the board of directors of a company that is in partnership with the anti-Israeli government of Dubai.

    The Clintons won't reveal how much the former president pocketed for setting up this deal, except to report on Hillary's Senate disclosure form: "more than $1,000."

    A lot more. According to San Francisco Examiner columnist P.J. Corkery, Clinton makes $10 million a year from Yucaipa.

    Bill isn't alone in legitimizing Dubai. Other Clinton pals - including disgraced former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, ex-Secretary of State Madeline Albright and Al and Tipper Gore - have attended highly publicized events there.

    So have some Republicans - including former Bush Sr. Chief of Staff John Sununu, presidential brother Neal Bush and Rudy Guiliani.

    Republican ex-Sen. Bob Dole and Democratic ex-Rep. Tom Downey lobby for Dubai; so does The Glover Park Group, home of Hillary Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson and former President Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart.

    Major U.S. business leaders populate the many conferences sponsored by Dubai and its industries.

    All of this helps legitimize Dubai. And no one mentions the problem with Israel.

    Bill Clinton even created a Dubai Scholars Program at the American University in Dubai under the sponsorship of the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation. Laura Tyson, Clinton's chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, created a similar Dubai study program at the University of London.

    But not everyone is blind.

    Last month, the University of Connecticut correctly abandoned plans to open up a campus in Dubai after serious complaints about Dubai's state-imposed discrimination of people based on their national origin and religion and its documented violations of human rights. (For example, Human Rights Watch has said Dubai abuses tens of thousands of migrant workers from India and Pakistan.)

    The Clinton Foundation certainly wouldn't sponsor a program in America that banned Israeli students. It shouldn't sponsor one in Dubai, either.

    It's time to stop legitimizing an anti-Semitic state.


    Don't forget, Clinton is not only pro-Dubai, he/she is pro-China. Well I guess they are pro-any country that will give money to their presidential runs. Sorry Mrs. R. Adrian Philby facts beat liberalism time and time again.

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    I'm 1/2 Lebanese. Part of my Family was killed by Muslims during the Maronite Community's fight for survival against the Muslims. Ok I have relatives, here in this country who fought in the Phalangist Lebanese Forces Militia during the 70's and 80's. I have 1st hand accounts how muslims seize control of this country.
    In Lebanon Socialists allied themselves with the Jihadists. Then when the Jihadists had numbers they started a civil war.
    The Lebanese Christian community was abandoned by the world community except for Israel.
    Unlike you Mrs. Philby I have heard 1st hand accounts of Islamic agression.
    My opinions are from personal experience not Sean Hackitty.
    Like the snob Rich Leftist you are you stereotype me. Unlike you I know what it's like to go without food and have to do what to do to survive.
    So think before you speak.

    Mrs. Philby,
    "What Administration refuses to profile young Islamic males at airports and makes elderly Caucasian women remove their shoes and get "felt up" by TSA?"

    I agree with you there, but that is being done because the Leftist press, ACLU and Council on Islamic American relations would scream to high hell over racial profiling!

    I can pick your Leftist denial of Islamic threat arguments to shred!

    Philby must be on the Huffington post now with the other libs, praying that Tony Snow has cancer.

    The Factor ,
    No, she's shocked at how I've been hitting her back with facts. So now she's looking at the latest talking points from Dean!

    Read the linkn --- and end the ACLU phobia.

    Mrs Philby where are you?

    I love the business of pointing out how Olby Watchers are obsessed by going back, digging out old posts, and cut-n-pasting them... :D


    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    The problem is reality is a bitch. It's easy for someone like you with a PC outlook and a lack of historical knowledge not to understand the Islamic threat.
    Why is Islam always at war with neighboring civilizations?
    Examples:
    Serbia/Albanians (Muslims)
    Russians/Chechens (Muslims)
    Thais/Muslims
    Sudanese/Christain Sudanese
    Ethiopians/Somalians (Muslims)
    Filipinos/Muslims
    India/Pakistan

    Mrs. R. Adrian Philby,
    Unlike you I had relatives who defended the Lord's flock against Muslims.

    Philby: You got them really upset so you must be correct. ;-)

    Obam Watch Us Bicker Formerly in Technicolor ,

    I've taken apart her arguments read my responses to her.

    I will put any comments of Limbaugh and Coulter up against the venom and hatred of Rosie O’Donnell, Bill Maher, and Keith Olbermann any day of the week.

    Rodan: No, you deflected the argument to someone that you would side with: your own distant family. Give me some partisan sources, then we will see. Humans will always take sides ... but these issues are not about taking sides ... they are about analtzing sides and the history to them.

    When I first heard the news, I actually said a prayer. It is my custom to do so. Your statement says far more about you, in particular, and conservatives, in general than it does me. You are in league with the Coulters and the Limbaughs of the world. In other words, you are an odious, despicable life form, wholly beneath contempt. And now, I will actually ask to be forgiven for that thought, and I will pray that God's grace transform you.

    Posted by: Mrs. R. Adrian Philby at March 23, 2007 4:56 PM
    And what league do you consider youself in? I know what league I consider you to be in......

    Johnny,

    I was intrigued by Olbermann's choice of Worst Person's In The World.

    There's no doubt both Beck and Limbaugh richly deserve that honor. Especially Limbaugh and his comments.

    However, it would be more palatable if Olbermann himself wasn't guilty of being as insult and over-the-top as Beck was about Rosie O'Donnell. Here's a guy who talks about Anne Coulter's adam's apple, always insults her, and acted like an enraged gorilla by repeatedly slamming an Anne Coulter doll on his desk, like he was beating up her. Here's a guy who referred to fellow anchorman Chris Wallace as being a monkey and here's the twiggy who called Fox News chief Roger Ailes "fat ass".

    Here's a guy who nightly makes the accusation that the administration has virtually left nothing sacred (those who died on 9/11 and everthying else) in exploiting all for political advancement and then goes after Limbaugh for being so insensitive as to politicize Mrs. Edward's illness. Here's a guy who literally seethes with histrionic outrage during those "special comments" moments.

    Pundits Beck and Limbaugh behaved as jerks on their radio talk show. Journalist Olbermann does that almost nightly on his prime time MSNBC television show.


    The same with the factor. Go ahead and post something from Limbaugh or COulter and pretend that they are more civil than Bill maher or Rosie O' Donnell ... you will just embaress yourself ---

    I pointed out Clinton's dealings with Dubai.


    "No, you deflected the argument to someone that you would side with"
    I pointed out to Islamic/Non Islamic conflicts and I have mentioned the 7th Century Jihad.
    Hey did you forget 9/11.

    uh oh, I made a typo, philby will be all over that one....

    Rodan: Well there you have it. Clinton was not liberal. A secret capitalist in liberal sheep's clothing. All so devious are these parties ---

    Clinton is a Liberal. He's said so Himself.
    George Soros has businesses in Dubai.
    You mean to tell me he's not Liberal?

    Rodan: Watch Godzilla. Some movies Godzilla is a hero ... others he is destroying Tokyo ...

    When I first heard the news, I actually said a prayer. It is my custom to do so. Your statement says far more about you, in particular, and conservatives, in general than it does me. You are in league with the Coulters and the Limbaughs of the world. In other words, you are an odious, despicable life form, wholly beneath contempt. And now, I will actually ask to be forgiven for that thought, and I will pray that God's grace transform you.

    Posted by: Mrs. R. Adrian Philby at March 23, 2007 4:56 PM


    Sounds about right. I can certainly imagine your praying in that manner:

    'God "forgive" me for doing something that isn't truly offensive or truly objectionable and change all those despiccable people who are truly offensive and objectionable.'

    Yeah. I can see it. I have no doubt.

    I can't wait for the day Ulbermahn makes Hannity's "Enemy of the State" list. It's just a matter of time.

    Obama Watch Us Bicker Formerly in Technicolor ,

    You really live up ti your name! Your one of a kind!
    Lol!

    Royalking: That is "Enemy of the 'WEEK'" now, buddy. Somebody over at Fox News Channel thought that that title was too Orwellian to let on the air so they changed it the next week. I wish whoever changed the title would give Sean Hannity more advice on his antics on such things as being the thought police on teachers and telling others how to think ...

    > Pundits Beck and Limbaugh behaved as jerks on their radio talk show. Journalist Olbermann does that almost nightly on his prime time MSNBC television show.

    Bingo. Cecelia is a clear-thinker.

    Obama,
    Hannity is the Conservative's version of Ulbermahn.

    You really live up *****ti***** your name! *****Your***** one of a kind!

    ---

    Mrs. Philby on the road but half an hour and you're already gettin sloppy, Mr. Rodan. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

    Why can't Bush have cancer ?

    Rodan: I never heard of Olbermann telling people to contact MSNBC to tell of a conservative that they do not like ... I guess he infers what people should think, but he does not actually tell them litterally, so part two is a half truth ---

    Thanks, Johnny.

    Thanks, Bob, too for the improvements to the site.

    The Road to Serfdom
    By Caroline Glick

    In Israel, as in the rest of the free world, we are witnessing the death by a thousand cuts of free thought.

    Last month, two students at Cambridge University's Clare College became victims of this state of affairs. The students dedicated an edition of their satire magazine to the one-year anniversary of the global Muslim riots which followed the publication of caricatures of Muhammad in the Danish Jyllands Posten newspaper. As the students recalled, those riots led to the deaths of more than a hundred people.

    Although the British media refused to republish the caricatures, British Muslims held terrifying protests throughout the country where they called for the destruction of Britain, the US, Denmark and Israel and for the murder of all who refuse to accept the global domination of Islam.

    In their magazine, the students published some of the caricatures and mocked the Muslims for their hypocrisy in accusing British society of racial prejudice while calling for its violent destruction.

    The Muslim reaction was apparently swift. Fearing for their lives, the students were forced into hiding.

    But the Muslims were not alone in their anger. Clare College set up a special disciplinary court to consider action against the students. And the Cambridgeshire police opened a criminal investigation against them in late February.

    The persecution of these students provides a case study of the two-pronged offensive being carried out today against Western culture. First there are the jihadists, who call for our destruction. Then there are the leftist intellectuals and public figures who defend radical Islamists and work to silence those who criticize them by criminalizing speech and condemning free thinkers as racists.

    The direct consequence of this two-pronged offensive is the repression of free thought.

    FOUR YEARS ago, US President George W. Bush called the invasion of Iraq "Operation Iraqi Freedom."
    The intention was clear. The purpose of the war was not merely to bring down Saddam Hussein's murderous, terror-supporting regime. It was to bring about the defeat of the vile world view that supported the regime and to replace that view with the values of freedom, tolerance and democracy.

    Four years on, US forces continue their heroic fight to bring order and security to that violent land. But the purpose of their efforts is no longer clear. The US no longer pushes the Iraqis or the greater Arab world to abandon jihad in favor of freedom.

    Earlier this month, columnist Joel Mowbray gave evidence of the Bush administration's abandonment of the war of ideas in a Wall Street Journal expose on the US taxpayer-financed Arabic-language television network Al-Hurra. The US launched Al- Hurra in February 2004 to compete with jihadist television networks like Al Jazeera. Its stated aim was to present a liberal, pro-democracy and pro-human rights voice to the Arab world. Yet, as Mowbray reported, since former CNN producer Larry Register was appointed to lead the network last November, that aim fell by the wayside.

    In December the network began allowing itself to be used as a platform by arch terrorists like Hizbullah commander Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Last month, when the Israeli Islamic movement began attacking Israel for conducting an archeological dig by the Aksa mosque, Al-Hurra's coverage of the story was more extreme than Al Jazeera's. Palestinian Authority mufti Ikremah Sabri was brought on live and accused Israel of shooting and throwing bombs into the mosque and of denying medical care to those it had supposedly wounded. Al-Hurra has also hosted an al-Qaida terrorist who rejoiced in the September 11 attacks on America.

    As is the case in Britain, the Bush administration's decision to largely abandon the ideological battlefield is the result of an uncompromising and unrelenting ideological and political assault against the voices that justify the war against the global jihad generally, and against the hawks in the Bush administration specifically.

    Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and John Bolton - and arguably Scooter Libby - were all forced from their positions in the Pentagon, the State Department and the White House after coming under unrelenting attack by the Left which all but accused these men of treason for their vigilant support of the war against Islamic totalitarianism. A central component of the onslaught against them was the repeated claim that their support for Israel is what brought these men to delude America into believing that the global jihad is a threat to US national security.

    One of the central players in this concerted attack has been the billionaire George Soros. Soros is an anti-Zionist Jew with a troubling past. Specifically, by his own admission in interviews with 60 Minutes in 1998 and PBS in 1993, Soros collaborated with the Nazis in seizing Jewish property in Budapest in 1944.

    Author Serge Trifkovic, who is currently researching a biography of Soros, tells of a Holocaust survivor in Hungary who claims that the reason Soros was allowed to remain free was "the boy's special knowledge of the Jewish community and its attempts to protect its property from confiscation."

    Since 2003, Soros has donated more than $100 million to radical left-wing groups and to the political campaigns of far-left anti-war Democratic candidates in the US. His money has made him one of the most influential forces in the Democratic Party.

    After Hamas won the Palestinian election last
    January, Soros turned his guns against Israel. Last October he announced his intention to work with left-wing American Jewish groups such as Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, American Friends of Peace Now and the Israel Policy Forum to form an effectively anti-Israel lobbying group that will compete with the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Soros accuses AIPAC of making common cause with the war hawks and so harming US and Israeli national security.

    This week Soros laid out his anti-Israel views in the New York Review of Books. In a longwinded screed entitled, "On Israel, America and AIPAC," Soros presents an incoherent hodgepodge of sloppy logic and contradictory statements. On the one hand, he acknowledges that Israel's withdrawal from Gaza radicalized the Palestinians and brought Hamas to power. On the other hand, he insists that further Israeli withdrawals will cause the Palestinians to moderate. While he acknowledges that Hamas is a terror group, he insists that the US must recognize it and force Israel to recognize it and that AIPAC is responsible for neither recognizing Hamas as a legitimate political force in the region.

    Soros claims to want peace for Israel. Yet he demands that the US and Israel embrace the Saudi plan which calls for Israel's effective destruction through a forced Israeli withdrawal from Judea, Jerusalem, Samaria and the Golan Heights and the demographic destruction of the Jewish state through unimpeded immigration of 4-5 million foreign-born Arabs.

    In effect, Soros's arguments make clear that protestations aside, the advancement of human rights and peace cannot possibly be his true goals. Rather, what seems to interest him most is the erosion of the US-Israel alliance. A US abandonment of Israel is seen as a necessary component of an overall strategy for causing the US to cease its fight against the global jihad.

    In her visit here next week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to pressure the Olmert-Livni-Peretz government to continue diplomatic contacts with the Hamas-Fatah terror government through PA Chairman and Fatah commander Mahmoud Abbas. In light of the administration's weakening stand on Hamas, it is clear that Soros's views have taken hold in ever-widening policy circles in Washington.

    In advancing their anti-Israel views, Soros and his allies (most recently, New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof), invoke the work of radical leftist Israeli organizations like the Geneva Initiative, B'tselem and Peace Now. Like Soros, these organizations claim to act for the advancement of peace and human rights. And like Soros, these organizations effectively cooperate with pro-jihadist groups in eroding Israel's ability to defend its rights as a Jewish democracy.

    The public storm that ensued this week after Jews in Hebron took control of a building they recently purchased in the city was a clear example of this leftist-jihadist collusion.

    In demanding that the IDF move immediately to eject the Jews from the building they had bought, Peace Now and B'tselem ignored human rights and openly advocated the abrogation of the human rights of Israeli Jews to purchase and hold property. In so doing, they lent their support to the racist jihadist view that Jews must be barred from stepping foot in so-called Arab areas.

    B'tselem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that whether the Jews purchased the building or not was immaterial. In her words, "Our opposition in principle is that these settlements should be evacuated anyway and that there shouldn't be these pockets in Hebron."

    She added that "other than watching and making sure that [the sale] was done in a legal way, the IDF has the obligation to make sure that settlers don't take over more areas."

    In so arguing, Michaeli gave effective Jewish Israeli support to even more outrageous statements by Israeli Arab parliamentarians. As she claimed that the IDF's job is to fight Jews, Arab MKs Ibrahim Sarsour and Muhammad Barakei participated in the PA's "Jerusalem First" conference in Ramallah. Sarsour called for "Muslims and Arabs" to "liberate Jerusalem."

    Sarsour declared, "Just as the Muslims once liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders, so must we today believe that we can liberate Jerusalem. It is not an impossible dream."

    Barakei accused Israel of trying to "empty Jerusalem of its Palestinian inhabitants." Calling Jerusalem a "national issue, not just a religious issue," he called on Palestinians to act immediately to "reclaim the city."

    As for Hebron, on Tuesday MK Taleb a-Sanaa called for an international boycott of Israel in response to the Jewish purchase and takeover of the building.

    The Arab MKs spoke against the backdrop of Israel's first Arab cabinet minister Ghaleb Majadle's refusal to sing the national anthem and the publication of a University of Haifa poll showing that 76 percent of Israeli Arabs believe that Zionism is a form of racism and that 28% of Israeli Arabs deny the Holocaust.

    Needless to say, no criminal investigations into possible treason charges have been opened against the Arab politicians.

    A CLEAR line connects the Cambridge students, the Americans in Iraq, and the situation in Israel. The leftist-Islamist front is eroding the free world's sense of justice. Rather than assert our liberal, democratic values and defend our freedoms, fearing leftist condemnation, politicians and opinion shapers have permitted themselves to become shackled to ideologies that negate everything for which the free world stands.
    Israel, which stands on the front lines of freedom, is duty-bound to stem the tide. But our ignoble leaders have preferred to stop thinking and silently surrender.

    This is how a civilization collapses.

    Bill O'Lielly,

    Surely there is some therapist who could help you progress out of the "Industry vs Inferiority" Stage.

    Rodan: You did not have to post all of that to prove what an awfull person George Sorros is .

    Hey Obama,
    What made you come up with that name?

    Well ... I was originally "Olbermann Watch [Us Bicvker] b4 I realized what an awfull human being Keith O. was ---

    great thanks, watergate, nixon, SIR, MISTER, as always, fox noise (how clever) - drink everytime keif utters these words - have an ambulance on speed dial you are going to get alcohol poisoning.

    Obama,
    Hannity is the Conservative's version of Ulbermahn.

    Posted by: Rodan at March 23, 2007 5:28 PM
    Rodan, Rodan, Rodan. Does Hannity lie on a daily basis? Does he embold the enemy on a daily basis? No, to both. I don't hang on his every word,but, I greatly appreciate his exposing libs for what they are and exposing the enemy for what they are. He does get a little repetative at times, that I don't like.

    One more thing ... how is it that Rush Limbaugh says that he is sick of holding other politician's water and start up with Schwartzenager ?!? Filling the bucket, are we ?

    Hey, J. Nellsworth, a "new" poster, how bout that. Odly, going after spelling errors. lmao!

    Royalking: Exposing the libs for what they are? What they are are a party that got beat up by conservatives for every little thing by conservatives --- and the conservatives deserve the losses that they got in 2006 .

    Bicker, you are smart enough to know what I meant. I was refering to the far left libby's, also.

    Fine -- I am done for the weekend .

    Royalking,
    Hanity is a hack. He repeats the RNC's talking points and follows whatever Bush says.
    That's why I like Michael Savage. He goes after Bush!
    Sean jsu repeats whatver the Whitehouse spin is. Hence he's a hack.
    Granted he doesn't support Islamo-Fascists like Ulbermahn, but he's ahack and I don't respect him.

    Rodan, at least the enemy fears Hannity, as well as the enemy within fears Hannity, unlike much of the media, which our enemy loves and embraces, like Ulbermahn, Mathews, Blitzer and I can't forget the good ole' ACLU, the enemy really loves them because they protect and represent them.

    Royalking,
    I view Hannity as an ally. But he's not an originak thinker. Michael Savahe and O'Reilly are.
    Ulbermahn, Matthews and Blitzer just spew DNC talking points or in Ulbermahn's case, Iranian talking points.
    You know why Ahmadinejad cancelled his trip to America?
    Ulbermahn couldn't find him a 16 year old girl!

    >>Cheney says House doesn't support troops

    By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 40 minutes ago

    MANALAPAN, Fla. - Vice President
    Dick Cheney on Saturday accused the Democrat-led House of not supporting troops in
    Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger.

    "They're not supporting the troops. They're undermining them," Cheney told a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, Fla., about 60 miles north of Miami.


    LOL!!

    5 COURAGEOUS DEFERMENTS repeats the line!!

    (from my own post)

    It is only logical that the Bush Supporters wrap themselves even tighter in the flag.
    Maybe Dick would welcome a third round as VP, to remind us all that if the DemocRATS win, the terrorists win.

    GO RUDY!!

    GO Bush Supporters!!

    Obie is a jerk!

    "If the democrats win the terrorist wins" is the most idiotic comment that neo cons continue to make. Further, anyone who associates demanding to bring the troops home with "not supporting the troops" is dillusional. The people who demand the troop's safe return home are truly the ones who support our troops rather than leaving them in the mist of a civil war that we created. However, no one in the Bush administration can grasp that concept because none of them has ever served in the military.
