    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 8, 2007
    Countdown with Keith Olbermann - August 8, 2007

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • THE GREATEST, MOST WONDERFUL DEBATE EVER: Jonathan Alter
    • ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE (DEMOCRAT) CANDIDATES: Joe Biden
    • BURY BONDS: Richard Justice
    • ANA NICOLE SMITH'S BREASTS: Katy Tur (no, not really!)

    After an overcooked Olympics promo, Keith the Debate Star bellowed the opening spiel: the "woodstock" of debates (good old Mr Humility), a blue-dress interview with Joe Biden (D), Barry Bonds, Britney Spears, and more. Will this Hour of Spin be as dreadful and predictable as it sounds? We're putting our money on "yes"--but watch for a great moment when Bathtub Boy inadvertently proves Olbermann Watch to have been correct all along. Onward with the recap, including two special bonus media clips.

    Bathtub Boy

    #5: The spectacular, marvelous, debate. It was the ultimate, the Everest of debates. Copious clips and Lefty Alter. Obama on the defensive, a possible Hillary faux pas ("you shouldn't say what you think"). Herr Olbermann all but crowed about a clever question he asked Obama, and they both took a shot at Barack for dodging a question. Olby gushed over Hillary ("that's a hell of a quote") and--surprise!--Lefty agreed. Is that check Oralmann handed over to Bill still having its effect? Olby again cites "that question I asked"! Praise for Kucinich, though no great optimism for The Elf Lord's chances.

    Needless to say, not everyone was all agog over the wondrous Merkle-led Dem forum last night. So here is something that is never allowed on OlbyPlanet--a different point of view:

    #4: Ooh, the much-anticipated "in depth" interview with Joe Biden. Isn't that sort of like a scholarly analysis of Beetle Bailey? Of course, Edward R Olbermann was armed with another passel of his patented hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners interrogatories:

    • Do we have too many debates?
    • What's wrong with us as a nation?
    • Are you blaming "Mister" Bush for the mining cave-in? ("I am")
    • Re "actionable intelligence": what were you trying to get at last night?

    Great thanks. Incidentally, Biden's appearance means that another entry has been added to the most extraordinary roster of guests to be found on any "newscast". But don't take our word for it; see The List for yourself.

    #3: Barry Bonds (What? No Special Education Komment?) #2: Space Shuttle, Ana Nicole Smith. Britney Spears. In the Media Matters Minute, once again Krazy Keith managed to find fault only with people to the right of Bernie Sanders. Lindsay Graham (R), plus "unthinking toady [Olbersaurus!] water carrier" Robert Novak (conservative) with an "under the bus" reference [Ding!] for good measure. But the "worst person" was John Gibson of "Fox Noise" [Ding!]. The source wasn't a Blue Blog at all; Olby is too cowardly to admit it, but he got the story from right here at Olbermann Watch! Aside from another Olbermann lie (that Roger Ailes is running Giuliani's campaign), the segment was noteworthy because Oralmann didn't even attempt to deny that he helped the Kossacks raise money for their cause. In other words, our exclusive report was right on the money, and has now been confirmed by "Man on Fan" Olbermann himself. You read it here first!

    And you heard this here first too. Instant reaction to being named "worst person" from John Gibson himself:

    MisterMeter

    Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name sinks further into irrelevancy at #38,567 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #2,692. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome remains mired below the ranking radar at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,413 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. The much-hyped Bathtub Boy Debate didn't exactly set the world on fire. Once again, he lost overwhelmingly to his arch-nemesis not just among all viewers, but also in the coveted, all-important, much-beloved, critical "key demo". Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 2 [LOW]

    It's nice to see a " news " anchor use the word bitching on the public airwaves.

    And Olby, you fucking tool. Fox is not the international embarasssment. Your network is the joke, having you and fellow Democrat hack Chris Matthews host the debate last night.

    Obviously, John Gibson is getting to you. You shouldn't be suprised he's still on the air. Life must be pretty good on the #1 cable NEWS network, Fox NEWS.

    Would you please take that stupid photoshopped picture down. It's really pointless and doesn't contribute to this site's mission of exposing Keith Olbermann's lies and hypocrisy.

    That graphic was a distraction so I swapped it out.

    Oralmann called FOX News an "international embarrassment", and asserted that noone outside of FOX viewership thinks of that network as a real news organization. Never mind that FOX's coverage of the bridge disaster, a NON-political story, dominated MSNBC's overwhelmingly. All those extra non-regular viewers must be pretty stupid to turn to an "international embarrassment" for information on something as serious as that...

    Keith did a great job, eh? What was your favorite part, when he was feeding grapes to Hillary or when he was sniffing the ample rump of Hillary?

    Has Fox News ever tapped Hannity and O'Reilly to moderate a debate? You know, the guys who have liberal callers on their radio shows, who have liberal guests on their radio shows, who have liberal guests on their highly viewed tv shows? Anyone?

    "Loser" Keith was picked to moderate the debate last night and did a great job !

    You Olbyhaters look really stupid today !

    Posted by: Why Do you care at August 8, 2007 10:29 PM

    With the least viewers ever, yea, he did a really good job for all 4 people watching....you, philby, mike and his dog.

    Gibson definitely reads OlbyWatch. He called Bathtub Boy "Monkeyman." Did that not start here?

    Keith is a journalistic disgrace
    Countdown's not worthy of My Space
    He's a tool and a joke
    Much fun colleagues poke
    The news profession he will debase

    Gibson definitely reads OlbyWatch. He called Bathtub Boy "Monkeyman." Did that not start here?

    NBC is falling apart and I am digging it, brother!

    Hey Keith, best of luck with your upcoming commentary slot on the NBC Nightly NOISE!

    Gibson's Monkey Man is actually Chris Matthews. (He has a tape where Matthews made monkey sounds on air!).

    I was watching Shepard Smith and Trace Gallagher earlier today on Fox. What a couple of right wing nut jubs, huh? Am I right?

    Olbermann's ratings for the debate were the worse ever thus far for any of the debates. So oh yes, it certainly sounds like he did a great job. Even the liberals were ripping on him in the usual websites this morning for kissing HRC's butt, for failing to follow-through on questions and oh yes, for the dumbass Barry Bonds question.

    Oh, and the question about why O'Reilly and Hannity haven't been "asked" to host a debate? Simple. They are commentators and appropriately label themselves as such. Perhaps Olby should quit trying to be a newsman as he is failing miserably at that and just go with commentator. It certainly seems as debate moderator is over his head.

    Gibson calls Chris Matthews ' monkey-man', not Olby.

    * 'monkey-boy' , rather

    Olbermahn called Chris Wallace of Fox News a "monkey" for pissing off Bill Clinton during an interview. "Monkey" is considered an extremely derogatory term by Jewish people. Chris Wallace is Jewish.

    That's why Ubermoronn is also known as "monkeyman".

    You can add one more to the biased guest list: Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle. I've included a sample of some of Tricky Dick's gem's. There was also one particular rant that he must have removed from his archives but the key words were conservative's, stupid, country music, chewing tobacco, pickup truck, gun.

    Lefty Dick's thoughts:

    Here's a litmus test: if you get the majority of your information from Fox News or if you have a picture of a college football player or coach framed and hanging in your house, you're too dumb to get this blog.

    If you watched the Astros regularly last season, you understand what I'm talking about. Well, some of you won't. Baseball is too subtle for some of you. That's why there's wrestling and Rush Limbaugh.

    A lot of people use blogs to trash others. Rush Limbaugh has made a nice living doing exactly that. He casts the world very simply: those who agree with him and all the others (the idiots, according to Rush).

    Hudson and Harrigan just introduced Clay Walker for a pre-game concert. He's singing some song about a guy in a truck running over a dog and blaming it on the Democrats. Or something like that.

    Friends, I come to you today with a heavy heart. No use hiding my feelings. You've hurt me too much already. I understand that sometimes we disagree on things. That's one of the reasons blogs exist. The other reason they exist is there are a lot of fat, unemployed right-wingers with computers, but let's not go there.

    One guy said he'd never been so disappointed about reading something. I wanted to suggest he read State of Denial if he really wanted to be disappointed, but I thought it would send things off in a direction they probably shouldn't go.

    Patrick's hour with Keith Olbermann each day is the single best hour on radio.

    Tricky Dick also posted a Posted a video of Olby going after BOR and called it “amazing”. The video was pulled shortly thereafter for some reason.

    I'm curious to know which O'Reilly-hating propaganda video RJ is referring to. Olby's done so many.

    i haven't seen tonight's episode yet, so please me if thi query is redundant, but did Olby ask Biden about his flagging pro-Labor record in the aftermath of the AFL-CIO debates?

    Wait, Fox has a news division now?! When did that happen?

    Average Anal Pervert, get back to bed with mommy like she told you.

    Did Fox News ever call President Clinton a Nazi? Did Fox News ever call Democrats terrorists? Did Fox News ever call the wife of a Democratic Senator a ho? Did Fox News ever call the head of MSNBC or CNN a fat ass? Did Fox News ever say that the wife of a Democratic Presidential Candidate likes to work the poll? Did Fox News ever use the f-word on live tv when talking about President Clinton? Did Fox News ever hand a check to President Bush live on the air? Did Fox News ever call a reporter from MSNBC or CNN a monkey?

    You Keith Olbermann fans like to beat up on Fox News. But considering the track record at MSNBC, your vitriol appears to be aimed at the wrong place.

    Oralmann called FOX News an "international embarrassment", and asserted that noone outside of FOX viewership thinks of that network as a real news organization.

    Posted by: John-O at August 8, 2007 10:34 PM

    On the same token, everyone outside of Orangy's viewership KNOWS that Meltdown in NOT a real news organization. Last nights "debate" ratings should be and are a personal embarrassment to Orangy.

    What were the ratings for the Fox News debates?

    John Gibson is priceless.
    Our any of the zombies angry at your propaganda merchant? He bowed down to his corporate masters and actually asks relevant questions to her thighness and the rest. Great answer by her thighness by the way. We all want to invade Pakistan but we should tell anyone about it. She is a real genius.
    Back to bath tub boy. I guess his dark masters a MSDNC didn't want a circus even though the employed their clown to moderate. Glad to see Olbermann give his "Mission Accomplished" speech today after his debate came in dead last compared to all others. I didn't watch the show, but did he have a banner up and his flight jacket on?

    RK:

    Please, enlighten us. How exactly are you qualified to determine what a "real" news organization is? You have a hard enough time recognizing facts as it is, much less a program filled with them.

    much less a program filled with them.

    Spoken like a true spolbyloon.

    A real news organization is one that does not employ someone who blames an earthquake on the President. Claims the President murdered Pat Tillman with no evidence. Hires someone who claims an assault weapons ban would have saved lives when he has no idea what the ban actually covered. Basicaly a real news organization is one the confuses your liberal zombie mind and angers you

    Additionally, It was just last week that Richard Justice posted a video of Bathtub Boy trashing O'reilly. This was on his sports blog on the Houston Barnicle website. Now, he appears on Olby's show twice since then. Hmm? Coincidence? I think not. They're both intellectually dishonest blowhards. One works in the toy dept & the other should.

    Don't forget the bridge that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz blew up......oh, forgot Haliburton. (ding!) Did I hear that someone saw Tony Snow under the bridge, too?

    Far left-wing "blogger" and Democratic "strategist" Markos Moulitsos Zuniga of the Daily Kos cheered the brutal murders of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah–all of them war veterans with distinguished records, three of them fathers–with the following infamous words:

    “Screw them.”

    Initially, Democrat advertisers condemned Kos’s atrocious statements and withdrew their ads. But as Dean Barnett reported a few weeks ago in a Weekly Standard piece, Kos is now stronger than ever–and awash in daily traffic and ad revenue from the hate-America Left. Thanks to people like STO,SLOB,philby,mike,O'liar,aap/why/anon,blindbat,Rosie O,puko chavez,obl,billary,farakahn,the doughnut king,kennedy,pelosi,murtha,dinjee harry,jesse jackson,al sharpie,orangy,wesley clark,aclu,al freakshow,colmes,mike ware, etc.

    April Fools’ Day lesson: Bashing murdered veterans pays the daily kos, No joke.

    "A real news organization is one that does not employ someone who blames an earthquake on the President. Claims the President murdered Pat Tillman with no evidence. Hires someone who claims an assault weapons ban would have saved lives when he has no idea what the ban actually covered. Basicaly a real news organization is one the confuses your liberal zombie mind and angers you"

    Oh yeah, you're qualified.
    Certainly as much as I'm an angry liberal zombie.
    No need for facts to bite you in the ass to gain recognition.
    No, sir. You got everything down pat.


    Well it looks like KO is going to blame Bush for the Mine accident tomorrow...I thought he would do it today,,but I guess he needed the time to "brag" about the lowest rated debate he hosted.

    Plus he might have wanted to see if anything would have went wrong with the Shuttle launch today,,so if it did he could of blamed him for that too.

    "Plus he might have wanted to see if anything would have went wrong with the Shuttle launch today,,so if it did he could of blamed him for that too."


    Why would he do that? We all know shuttles blowing up are the Clintons' fault.

    "The AFL-CIO Democratic forum last night on MSNBC [and moderated by Keith Olbermann]*, was the lowest rated-yet of the eight primary debates/forums held this election season. Based on live +same day data, Nielsen found the debate had 960,000 total viewers and 340,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo."

    ###
    []* added by poster......The "journalist" Keith Olbermann showed once again his inability to be a professional....His huge ego just keeps getting in the way. The man is incapable of controlling himself.

    However, it is rather sad to see such a mature fellow seek the approval from those he feels he needs it from....most normal individuals are past such needs by early adulthood.

    Clucker on Cee: "I think you started from the conclusion you wanted and worked backwards to cherry pick your supporting arguments."

    BINGO! Isn't that how this site works?

    The key demographic and the total ratings numbers trailed Fox's programming....the debate did not draw as well as the others, with the same format, the same time of year and the same candidates. The only difference was the host, the location and (big deal) the organization sponsoring the event. Keith Olbermann has a narrow, ideological fan base which he cannot expand because he has voiced his bias and intent and most normal people do not want their journalism from a shill of a particular political party. Some people like Olbermann's bit for the assurance it gives them in their choice of politics, but the independent, free-thinking person would rather watch something else.

    The same mentality of people who like Olbermann like Limbaugh.....the only difference in the fan is the ideology. There are huge differences in the two men.....like the fact Limbaugh is much more successful.

    And my opinion of Keith Olbermann's personality deficiencies is exactly that, my opinion. His obvious self promotion and thin skin was once again shown in his WPITW choice of Gibson. Always tit-for-tat with the sensitive Olbermann and it shows someone not very secure in who they are and a need to be "accepted."

    Clucker and Mike can continue to hang on every word of the silly man, it is their choice.

    Now Dan Abrams (MSNBC's boss-man... what a hoot) is taking cheap shots at Fox News and CNN. Calling out CNN on ratings (of all things) and Fox News for its attractive reporters. Is it because MSNBC is perennially last in ratings and employs a pack of dogs for on-air personnel? MSNBC is like the whiny little punk that's starved for attention. Lashing out at its competitors instead of providing a watchable product.

    Hey Dan, what happened to that scruffy "beard" you were trying to grow? That's tough when you haven't reached puberty yet.

    Well it must be embarassing to have a news show that is an international embarassment kick your ass in ratings. Now THATS embarassing!

    Good morning, losers!

    Isn't it great to wake up to a morning where the best Republican candidate would lose to the second best democratic candidate in a presidential election...

    By the way, does it bother any of you neocon losers that Bush has been arming the enemy since the begining of the conflict in Iraq?

    Didn't think so...traitors...

    There's an election today, blindrat? Oh yeah....just like that election back in August 2003 that had Dean winning the nomination....Keep up with the blind hubris, blindrat....serious adults are not even paying attention to the trials and tribulations of the radical poles of the country trying to decide which will be their standard bearer. It is my humble opinion that we are not even seeing the names of the eventual contenders....it's a long time until 11/08.

    Yes, real people are enjoying their summer, working at their occupations, spending time with their families and have just about as much interest in what Hilliary or Rudy are saying as what you think.

    And with the Democrats in Congress currently rated lower in popularity than Bush, the Democrats are hardly a shoo-in for a win in '08 as the loons seem to think.

    And by the way, I don't see any of the Olbyloons refuting ANY of the fine points raised in James' post at 12:53 am. Here it is again. Care to defend any of these comments Olbyloons? Of course not, you'd rather change the subject.

    "Did Fox News ever call President Clinton a Nazi? Did Fox News ever call Democrats terrorists? Did Fox News ever call the wife of a Democratic Senator a ho? Did Fox News ever call the head of MSNBC or CNN a fat ass? Did Fox News ever say that the wife of a Democratic Presidential Candidate likes to work the poll? Did Fox News ever use the f-word on live tv when talking about President Clinton? Did Fox News ever hand a check to President Bush live on the air? Did Fox News ever call a reporter from MSNBC or CNN a monkey?

    You Keith Olbermann fans like to beat up on Fox News. But considering the track record at MSNBC, your vitriol appears to be aimed at the wrong place.

    BETTENDORF, Iowa — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."

    Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work and a high draft lottery number, was asked the question by an anti-war activist after a speech in which he called for "a surge of support" for U.S. forces in Iraq.

    "The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that's the way we're going to keep it,"..."My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard."


    He added: "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."

    Actually, Brandon, the democrats have a higher popularity than Bush. Need proof, son?


    cee,

    When Guliani undergoes scrutiny, it'll go even worse for him. His own children can't stand him...

    how about Olbermutt's own co-workers, in particular, Chris Matthews who despises him. And ask anyone at ESPN, where four eyes used to work before getting canned, what they think of him.

    "Former Clark County GOP Chair and newly elected Young Republican National Federation Chair Glenn Murphy is under investigation for criminal deviate conduct, a Class B felony, for allegedly engaging in oral sex with a sleeping victim. This is not his first run-in with the law for this kind of offense."

    "Young Republicans"? This guy is 33 years old - both they guys that he's sexually assaulted in their sleep were in their early 20's. Poor fuckers - working for and putting their trust in a hypcritical predator like that.

    At least Bob Allen offered the guy a twenty - face to face, eyeball to eyeball - before he sucked his cock. Almost seems like a clear-eyed paragon of virtue on the Scale of Repubicans.

    But really, are there ANY of you guys that don't suffer from these destructive internal contradictions? Deal with it; be honest with yourselves or you're just going to destroy your own lives and those of the people around you.

    Although foreign fighters have never been statistically significant among the total insurgency we face in Iraq, they apparently represent the majority of suicide bombers:


    "Hafez, whose new book is "Suicide Bombers in Iraq ," has identified the nationalities of 124 bombers who attacked in Iraq . Of those, the largest number— 53— were Saudis. Eight apiece came from Italy and Syria , seven from Kuwait , four from Jordan and two each from Belgium , France and Spain . Others came from North and East Africa , South Asia and various Middle Eastern and European countries. Only 18— 15 percent— were Iraqis."

    Iran? Where's Iran?

    What with our closest allies in the region overloading the list here; and considering General Petraeus having supplied the insurgency with 110,000 assault rifles, 80,000 automatic pistols; and all kinds of armor and shit - Where exactly is the case for agression against Iran?

    ALL polls have Hillary as the LEAST liked of all candidates... and she is your frontrunner. She can win your primary but when the polls open in November 2008, there will be tons of people lining up just to vote AGAINST her. Its a fact.

    And after hearing her shrill voice in the last debate, I expect her campaign to crumble once the rock star glow wears off. She has received extremely easy press the past year. Wait till the lights of a real campaign get brighter. Its gonna be fun!

    benson,

    At least you conceded that Bush is not more popular than the congressional democrats. Good boy!

    I don't think that Hillary will win the nomination. Personally, I think that Obama will; however, even if Hillary Clinton gets the nod, ANY democrat can win against the evil cadaver-faced Guliani...

    I dont know what anyone else here thought about it, I found it somewhat funny that in effect, Joe Biden got a DO OVER last night on the great orange pumpkin's show...When has that ever happened after a debate?

    And the fool who said when have Hannity/Colmes ever moderated a debate, that's comical. They are not NEWSMEN....Neither is the flag waveing Orange shill for the Democratic Party that most of you monkeys in here worship

    It's a wonder he didint quote from my life even more than when he did in 1988

    Keith getting the Gibson story off this site is somewhat surreal, I now believe Keith is amung us here, lurking, reveal thyself monkeyman......

    We'll see about 11/08. Lotsa bitchin and posturing here until then. AND although i disgree withy your half of this chatroom every day, I am comforted by the fact that EVERYONE here will vote in November. We all care.

    also blindboy- 40% approval ratings are new. They were below Bush a few months back. So if you think 40% is good, you have a low pain threshhold. Better than Bush, but not good.

    Keith Huffs and Puffs and just can't blow the house of Murdoch down....The FNC bashing is a talkign point of the DNC of which Olberass takes his marching orders from. It's like if you say it over and over, you can get people to believe it. There are some in the world who can think for themselves, thankfully

    NBC tying themselves to Olbermann everywhere, Sunday Night Football pregame show now becomes a must miss imo, how would you like to be costas and have to share a stage with that blowhole

    Neil Kinnock wrote: "I dont know what anyone else here thought about it, I found it somewhat funny that in effect, Joe Biden got a DO OVER last night on the great orange pumpkin's show..."

    For the ethically-challenged Olbermahn, that's par for the Countdown course. How many of the other "candidates" were invited back (by the moderator!) for a DO OVER?

    What a hoot.

    Roger Ailes wrote: "...how would you like to be costas and have to share a stage with that blowhole?"

    I truly feel sorry for Bob Costas. NBC is making a big mistake (so what else is new?) by soiling it's NFL coverage with Ubermoronn. I, like many others, won't be tuning in simply due to Edward R. Douchebag's presence.

    benson,

    Actually, it's forty-six percent, son. Bush is at thirty-three percent. You stated that Bush was more popular, but elementary mathematics shows that you are wrong, child...

    Why lie?

    http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/ssi/polls/postpoll_072307.html

    Blindbat- Your reading comprehension skills are terrible. Especially for a condescending oldman like you.

    Where did I say Bush was more popular? I said a few months back he was.

    Now I'd call you a liar for claiming this, but thats just childish name calling to back your ignorance.

    Blindbat- We love displaying to the masses how stupid you are but you make it so easy. Try...

    -Reading better
    -Reading more diverse literature

    Bush Dips Into the 20s
    President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January. Approval ratings for Congress overall also sank, and now stand at 18%.

    Welcome to the blog you idiot. Day in and day out you drag the collective IQ of the lefties to a number in the teens.

    touche' ouch.

    child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy, child, son, boy,

    Benson, a little FYI from galluppoll.com son:


    PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll finds continued low levels of public support for both Congress and President George W. Bush. Twenty-nine percent of Americans approve of Congress, down slightly from last month's reading (33%) and this year's high point of 37%, while Bush's approval rating is holding steady at 33%. Both the ratings of Congress and the president are slightly lower than their respective 2007 averages. Approval ratings of Congress are higher among Democrats than Republicans, while Bush's ratings are much higher among Republicans.

    29% congress approval ratings, not 46%-

    so 2 things here: stop smoking crack and stop reading the Washington Post, a far left newspaper, who tell about as many lies as Olby does on a daily basis about Republicans.

    BETTENDORF, Iowa — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."

    Tim,

    May 15th?

    That is so cute, child! And, when they seperate the democrats in congress from the republicans, THAT'S when we get into the mid forties, son...

    Try to be a little more current, son...

    The whole point is moot-
    NEITHER congress nor the president have good approval ratings. So whenever these polls come out AND YOU trumpet one being higher than the other BUT both ratings under 50% it is purely idiotic. Until congress OR the president get above 50%, posting these polls is a waste of space and effort.

    Now if you are trying to express the overall disdain for government, dem and repub, then the polls matter.

    As the democrats in congress investigate Bush administration crimes, irregularities and out and out failures, their numbers IMPROVE.

    This is important...

    Kos: That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.

    Democrats/Liberals would be far more convincing if they weren't such creepy, hateful, lying bastards.

    As the democrats in congress investigate Bush administration crimes, irregularities and out and out failures, their numbers IMPROVE.

    This is important...

    And here comes Hilary in 2008 to flush it all away for the democrats, and I am a democrat!

    sorry blindrat- that has nothing to do with it.

    the killing of the immigration legislation was the catalyst for the bump in congress. at least thats what MSNBC has been saying this week. And you do listen to that liberal water carrying network, don't you?

    DAILY KOS CO-AUTHOR FINED $30K FOR UNETHICAL STOCK TOUT
    Wed Aug 08 2007 19:12:23 ET

    Prominent liberal blogger Jerome Armstrong has agreed to pay nearly $30,000 in fines in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations that Armstrong touted the stock of a software company, without disclosing that he was being paid to do so, the NY TIMES reports.

    Armstrong is the co-author of _Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics,_ with Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos. He is also the founder of the Democratic activist site MyDD.com.

    blindrat wants everyone to know that 33% approval ratings in a poll is not defendable while a 46% approval ratings is....And this in response to polls the other day on another thread that showed Nancy Pelosi's ratings lower than historical ratings of her counterpart, Gingrich, at the same time relative in their tenure.....

    Also, that the whole Congress is at an historic low under democratic leadership....there was NO honeymoon for the new leadership AND numbers as low as 3% with regard to congressional approval regarding Iraq....

    "Just 24% give the president favorable ratings of his performance in handling the war in Iraq, but confidence in Congress is significantly worse – only 3% give Congress positive marks for how it has handled the war. This lack of confidence in Congress cuts across all ideologies. Democrats – some of whom had hoped the now Democrat-led Congress would bring an end to the war in Iraq – expressed overwhelming displeasure with how Congress has handled the war, with 94% giving Congress a negative rating in its handling specifically of that issue."

    ###
    Bring the troops home now....cut the funding!

    Come on now blindrat....your ruling elite are not leading!....censure, non-binding resolutions are not cutting it with the public....the democrats need to act now....like the public says....cut the funds!

    let the iraqis die. Its their fault they are in a civil war. The U.S. didn't destroy their government, they did. The U.S. bears no responsibility for things going wrong in Iraq. and anything that did go bad, we can just pin on Bush, so the rest of the world will be okay with it.

    Iraqi children? let em burn.

    Those Iraqis who have allied with us? Let em rot.

    I mean they are ALL murdering terrorists anyway. Every one of them, from the 8 year old girls to 90 year old grandmas. There is no hope for them to have peace and democracy, cause arabs cant have peace and democracy. That is a FACT.


    *breaks character*

    So when did democrats become the bigots again? I guess they say these things work in cycles.

    Lets see Monkeyman report this story tonight,,,,um methinks he wont, however, can we at least all agree that if this were a right leaning site, then the founder of it would be battling for WPITW tonight? methinks the answer is Yes

    "cause arabs can't have peace and democracy."

    No, not as long as it is being forced on them by a traditional enemy at the point of a gun.

    bobo,

    I agree. I'd rather not have Hillary in office either. I'm leaning towards Obama...

    eachother,

    Neocons only have success in debating when they get to play both sides. Kinda like Limbaugh, son...

    "Lets see Monkeyman report this story tonight,,,,um methinks he wont,"

    I agree, he probably won't.

    At least your prediction is more reasonable than the ridiculous predictions last week that KO was going to blame Bush for the Minnesota Bridge collapse.....and when he didn't, they then proceeded to CLAIM he did anyway.

    imposed democracies worked in the war torn nations of Japan, Germany, and Bosnia. Oh, but those are asians and europeans. Arabs are different. There skin is much darker, which makes them barbaric terrorists who only know how to kill eachother. They deserve to kill each other, eh comrade?

    The proof is in the numbers. The Keith moderated debate bombed in terms of viewership. The debate didn't even outdraw Shep Smith in the key demo.

    What is so confusing about that? He's was an average sports commentator. He's very popular with a segment of the left, which is absolutely fine. No problem there. However, the guy just doesn't draw a whole lot of people to his shows. Numbers don't lie. And don't bother with the "he's up xx% in the demo". A 50% increase on a miniscule base is still a small number.

    Do you realize (Im sure you do, but I'll say it again for dramatic effect) DO YOU REALIZE if Hillary does win, and I do think she very well may, that it's not impossible this country may very well end up with a 28 year run of either a Bush or a Clinton in the WH going back to 1988?

    Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, that IMO would be a devasting thing for this country, that's like the president is more a king or in hillary's case, a queen, ha

    I'm reserving judgement as imo im not ready to pick a candidate for pres now, but No Hilary jeez

    Mike, let it go... you are acting looney.
    HE DID SAY THE BRIDGE WAS LINKED TO THE WAR.
    Typical loon- say a lie enough and hopefully it will come true.

    We'll said Robny, the thing that makes me laugh is it was the great olbermann who touted this demo as the number we should be looking at all along, then turns out he never wins it anyway....
    And the funny thing to me was Keith tried to have the debate over again last night, as someone posted earlier in this thread, by giving Biden a do over. That was unreal

    the time has come to pull out of iraq. Those terrorist iraqis have killed over almost 4,000 of our mercanaries. It is time we took our revenge. Pull out our mercs, and let iraqis tear themselves apart. THink about it, for every American that died defending those inhuman barbarians, ten iraqi civilians could have died instead. Years of genocidal civil war will teach those evil children over there the cost of killing americans. with luck, they will all kill eachother and none will be left. Let them bear the responsibility for America's mistakes, thats the American Way.

    some may argue that because the U.S. destroyed Iraqs government, we bear the responsiblitiy of restoring order and rebuilding the nation. They may say we can't make the Iraqis pay for Bush's mistakes. But i submit this: They have dark skin, so screw em.

    Dems in 08'

    But i submit this: They have dark skin, so screw em.

    Dems in 08'


    I always said it was the democrats who were the racist party, ha

    for any fellow dems who may feel the slightest bit bad about leaving iraqis to die, just remember, this war is Bush's fault. We can pin it all on him. All the iraqis who die in the future will also be his fault. Think of it this way, the U.S. didn't invade Iraq, Bush invaded Iraq. So if Iraqis ever ask why no one is trying to help them, we have to say, "its bushs fault. Oh, and you have dark skin."

    It's that thinking alone that will allow you to share the stage of the democratic convention in 08 "let them kill eachother"....you can stand united with others such as Jesse and Al, more great thinkers of the democratic party, and also btw, 2 individuals who could give a damm about advancing the cause of the african american community, because that would make them obsolete, so they can go around and tell people hey mighty whitey is keeping you down, and the lemmings go yeah mighty whitey is keeping you down, and then you can come out and go "yeah and you have dark skin"

    so just remember, Bush invaded Iraq, so we bare no responsibility. Just like how Hitler invaded Poland, and Germany bears no responsibility. Get it now? We are just following orders. thats how we explain leaving Iraq, as for the horrid conditions within Iraq, those cant look like being the U.S.'s fault, so we'll blame that on the Iraqis. Ya know, there inability to reconcile and their innability to step up blah blah. Ya know, blame the victim. Works ever time. I mean its just a little violence. Sorry iraqis, but thats the way its gotta be. We just can't look like we are in any way accountable. We've got elections to win.

    What's your problem?

    You have someone serving in Iraq?

    Are you paying a price for Iraq?

    You think the Iraqi people were better off under Sadam?

    Would you rather live under Sadam and watch your mother raped and butchered while you shake and quiver on your knees bowed down as an appeaser?

    You ever seen a popular war?

    You ever seen a war won without death?

    Should we quit when the enemy shoots back?

    Was it a mistake to go into a country when they fight back?

    Laura,

    You are such a brave little chickenhawk, talking about death and courage. Is your penis an innie, son?...

    we must find a way to create more violence within Iraq. The surge is providing too much security. we need to get the country into full fledged anarchic chaos mode. its the only way we can prove that iraqis (and their dark skin) are naturally violent and that the violence there is there fault..... And bush's....... And Republican's.......... But Not Democrats and not America's.

    Olbyshitter can talk fast. I'll give him that. Especially when he wants to blur part of the story to lead in when he slows to make his point.

    There is no doubt Olbyfuck is the biggest loser on TV and tops Mike Moore. His day is coming. Mark my words. Flame throwers do not last.

    If the world gets the belief that iraqis are mostly rational people and that the insurgents are in the very small minority, our plans are screwed. The surge is making it look like iraqis may actually be capable of peace, and we cant have that. We have to end the war right now, and ensure that iraqis suffer years of death. If we wait, it may be to late, and some Democrats in congress could recommit to the goal of establishing stability in Iraq.

    12:34; "Typical Loon, say a lie oftwn enough and hopefully it will come true."

    That is precisely what you and other olby hating loons are doing when you keep saying he blamed Bush for the Bridge collapse.

    Eventually, you'll have everyone on here believing a lie.

    Baldheadedrat, at least I don't need Viagra to get it up. You are past your prime and when you were "in" your prime you weren't much to worry about.

    Give it up, "let em kill", you haven't offered one shred of evidence that our presence is not actually worsening the violence, instead of lessoning it.

    All you have is your Neoconish claim that things will get worse if we leave. Trouble is, that prediction is mostly being emitted from the same band of idiots who created the disaster in the first place.

    There's an old fairy tale called "The boy who cried wolf"....you should read it.

    just to clarify, its not that i have anything against iraqis (other than their dark skin and all being barbarians incaple of peace. {for reason why: see skin color}). its just that the establishment of a peaceful iraq would be detrimental to our democratic party. so, they die and we win. Thats the same reason i love our mercs in the armed forces.

    Laura: "his day is coming, mark my words. Flame throwers do not last."

    Sounds like your days are limited as well!

    >>If the world gets the belief that iraqis are mostly rational people and that the insurgents are in the very small minority, our plans are screwed. The surge is making it look like iraqis may actually be capable of peace, and we cant have that. We have to end the war right now, and ensure that iraqis suffer years of death. If we wait, it may be to late, and some Democrats in congress could recommit to the goal of establishing stability in Iraq.

    The Iraqis have been having a few years of death since we've invaded. We've killed hundreds of thousands of them, son.

    And, the surge is making Iraq more secure, as would ANY increase in military presence; however, Iraq isn't secure...

    Let em kill: "just to clarify, it's not that i have anything against iraqis"

    No but you obviously do have something against rational dialogue in favor of hyperbole.

    Clucks the clcukster:

    "You RRW'ers amaze me sometimes, but you are particularly puzzling. You are not stubborn or stupid, like Royal King, but you keep perpetuating this notion that anyone slightly more open or progressive than you must worship and adore Mr. Olbermann."

I hope that helps you see things more clearly."

    Surely you can not be for real. You know no more about what some republican does or follows than you do about fornicating.

    i'm with you mike,

    not only is our presence making it drastically worse, i think our mercs are planting many of the car bombs. Which is good, cause it furthers our goal of making Iraqis look like the violent barbarians they are. The sooner we pull out the better. The only problem i have is the right wing dems who talk about leaving 70,000 mercs behind to fight terror. As you and i surely can agree on, we owe iraq nothing and bear no responsibility for their current situation (see: skin color and naturaly violent), so why would we wanna help them in anyway. I say we pull out tonight, cut off all funding to them, and watch the show.

    Let em kill: "i'm with you mike"

    No, obviously, you are not!

    I need to look up the definition for name calling. I seriousy doubt there is nowhere to be found in the defintion an explaination of degree of severity. Probably a word or expression designed to inflict pain onto the receiver. It's OK for Mike to inflict damage but when he gets hit he squalls like Olbyfuck.

    Clucker, there is no need to ideologically distance yourself from Keith Olbermann. Your previous posts regarding Bush, the war, or the democratic and republican candidates parrots the line Olbermann and the rest of the far left broadcast. Just because Olbermann shows his human flaws should not cause you to so easily abandon your defense of him.

    The grand conclusions you arrive at regarding the radical elements in our country is also very self serving. To say left wingers do not follow marching orders is to not be in tough with reality. I can hear the same talking points on COUNTDOWN that I read in the newspapers covering some congressional democrat's press conference and see it on MEDIAMATTERS or kos and know the lemmings are in their line. All fanatical ideologues have their mind numbing habits....its part of your charm.

    Hyperbole and sarcasm will get you nowhere.

    .......................................................

    I don't follow. which also is what makes me superior to mindless sheep conservatives whose ideologies of libertarian government and self-reliance makes ripe for being mindless followers nazis like the republican party.

    If you mean did KO outright say the words, "It is Bush's fault", then you are correct. There is such a technique called implication.

    Sharon: "Is that how you view our military?"

    Not at all Sharon. Thats how I view our (your) president and his henchmen, who unfortunately, have control of our fine military.

    That is not what you said, Mike. And quit saying MY president. He is THE president.

    Mike,
    Keith Olbermann did blame Bush for the Breidge collapse.

    getting back to greatest forign policy disaster in our nations history, how do we shift responsibility away from us and onto dark skinned iraqis? I know we can make this all their fault and not our responsibility if we try hard enough.

    any ideas?

    Sharon: "there is such a technique called implication."

    Sharon, once again, I thank you for showing some basic honesty that is sorely lacking from most on your side.

    That said, I disagree that he even made the implication...but at least THAT is an honest disagreement.

    Another fawning & very entertaining article on Keith Olbermann:

    Olbermann might have lit up Chicago
    Phil Rosenthal

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-wed_phil_0808aug08,0,1337506.column

    (excerpt from article):
    Olbermann to this day remains impressed with "the amount of effort put into wining and dining me." Besides the standard schmoozing, WMVP General Manager Doug Sterne had on-air personalities Spike Manton and Harry Teinowitz take him on a tour of taverns. Teinowitz invited him to stay an extra night and attend his sister's wedding Saturday. Sensing reluctance, Teinowitz also set him up with a date.

    ----------------------
    "set him up with a date" translation: EVEN GOT HIM LAID to get him to "come" to Chicago.

    Keith O was an awesome moderator. I have to say he was right on about Fox Noise being an international embarrasment... What a joke... Of course the knuckledraggers got heartburn over that comment they are well - knuckledraggers... Fox is a station for the Joe Six Packs of the world who need some dumbed down infotainment in between beating their wife.

    Joker: "Keith Olbermann did blame Bush for the Breidge collapse".

    I don't know Joker, maybe he did blame Bush for a "BREIDGE" collapse, but he definitely did NOT blame Bush for the recent Minnesote BRIDGE collapse!

    By the way Joker, how's it going with your recent attempt to slime Markos Moulitas, Olbermann, and Chris Mathews by claiming one was on "To catch a preditor", and the other two covered it up?

    sarcasm gets you no where

    and then this

    "In simple terms, think of sheep (RRW'ers) who all congregate around a leader and do exactly the same thing at the same time. . ."

    Cluck perhaps you are qualified to comment on the Olby watching behavior patterns of the group of liberals with which you congregate, but don't pretend you know how most (or even some) conservatives form their beliefs and core principles. You have regurgitated this same tired and cliched argument here before. It's time to give it up.

    yeah, i'm with mike again. In my history books, there have only been like 2 U.S. presidents. FDR and Johnson. The rest were not MY presidents.

    Damn Laura, I thought you had to get back to work! Aren't thousands of people anxiously waiting for you with bated breath!

    Guess they'll have to wait though. Your favorite propaganda network was under attack!

    Laura: "Don't worry lussy, I don't consider you an American"

    I would be insulted if you did. You are a false patriot.

    on a related note, i consider hugo chavez to be my third U.S. president. (picking and chossing your own presidents is fun)

    also, saddam never even existed, let alone served as president.

    wait patiently, there will be more.

    Mike,
    Why do you deny Olbermann didn't blame Bush?
    He clearly did.
    Why do you think he had Rachael Maddow on?
    He's also waiting to blame Bush on the Mine Collapse!
    Heck if we got hit with a comet he'll blame Bush.
    He's obsses with Bush.
    Bush is everywhere accoring to him.
    Honestly, I watch his show because it's funny as hell!
    It's the greatest propaganda show ever seen since the Collapse of the Soviet Union.

    Now, about your attempt to slime those people?

    I wonder why Mike didn't reply to those comments yesterday about the Cuban health system.
    (Ahhhhh, yes. That lovely Cuban health care system...

    I also wonder why he didn't admit the confusion about which war his brother in law served was due to his poor ability to communicate his point.

    finally, this joker guy is here to help me. Islam is 100% percent evil. But religion is just the icing on the cake. Its a simple truth that arabs are naturally violent evil people. look at how peaceful persians are in compariason. (persian skin seems a little less dark, coincidence? i think not)

    Mike,
    I heard that rumor from someone that worked a NBC. Why do you think there haven't been recent to Cath a Predator?
    Either way Moulitas is a supporter of the Iranian regime so even if it ain't true, who cares!
    I've spread the rumor and now it's going around!
    Supporters of Iran get no respect from me.

    I know a lot of light skinned A-RABS. Screw them too.

    Oh Laura - I have your wife too... You white trash mouth breathers should neuter yourselves...

    WWE Raw is consistently in the Top 3 cable shows also - what does that mean? That when you're not watching Fox Noise your watching that other station you get your reality from? WWE.... LOL.

    Look, your an idiot, you seriously think Fox is real? Its ratings may be higher than MSNBC but remember when folks what real intelligent news they have choices - MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, CSPAN, local networks, etc. When the inbreeds of society need a fix - all they have is Fox Noise.

    "look at how peaceful persians are in compariason"

    Far left-wing "blogger" and Democratic "strategist" Markos Moulitsos Zuniga of the Daily Kos cheered the brutal murders of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah–all of them war veterans with distinguished records, three of them fathers–with the following infamous words:

    “Screw them.”


    Initially, Democrat advertisers condemned Kos’s atrocious statements and withdrew their ads. But as Dean Barnett reported a few weeks ago in a Weekly Standard piece, Kos is now stronger than ever–and awash in daily traffic and ad revenue from the hate-America Left.

    2:15 anon: I didn't comment on the Cuban Health system link because it is 100% beside the point. I never claimed Cuba had a particularly good healhcare system, or good anything else for that matter. Michael Moore used the Cuban system simply to illustrate an important point, not to highlight it as some sort of a beacon to the world.

    How could Cuba have much of anything? We are 90 miles away and have been boycotting them for almost 50 years.

    As for my Brother in Law comment, it was directed at a poster who had just taunted me about going to veteran's funerals and that poster should have known which war he served in because it has been discussed before.

    Finally, I have never claimed to be a great communicator.

    Laura must have finally broke down and bought a mirror...

    I think we can look forward to some more insightful self-examination tomorrow on his, err, I mean her lunchbreak.

    Mike- It can't be spelled out more clearly for you- closed minded or not!

    KEITH OLBERMANN, in opening teaser: The bridges of every county: How the endless war and endless spending crippled our ability to repair or just check our infrastructure.

    Hey 'Roger', why is it that every time I watch O'Reilly, or listen to Hannity, they're telling us what we should think while villanizing all who disagree?

    Mike,
    And just who is in charge of the educational system? And you want the govt to be in charge of health care? As I told one of my coworkers yesterday, if you really want to see something get screwed up, put the govt in charge of it. Republican OR Democrat.

    Capatalism is a wonderful system. I am a capatalist myself....but there are a couple of areas in which it does NOT work: Public education is one of them and we already recognize that, and healthcare is the other.
    ..............................................................

    How is PUBLIC education a part of the capitalist system? Private schools are part of the capitalist mold, and consequently are better. Obviously we need public schools, but the reason they often suck is cause they are considerably non-capitalist.

    'Mike'- Keith doesnt do the exact same?
    Why does everything come back to FNC? Because Bill O reily says he supports this, or Hannity says he supports that, that means if I watch the show I have to think the exact same things? Thats a little shallow thinking isint it?

    FNC- We Report, You Decide

    In 2006 The Democrats swept back into power off an idiotic Bush Administration and will more than likely, hey lets call it as we see it, sweep the WH in 08, what more do you libs want?
    You want FNC taken off the Air?
    I think Olbermann is True High Comedy, but I dont wish him to be taken off the air

    I dont see anyone on FNC hammering Olb on a nightly basis as much as Olb hammers FNC.....OLB tells you what to think,

    A True Conservative tells you to think for yourself, o REILY AT LEAST HAS THE COURAGE TO BRING PEOPLE INTO HIS FORUM WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM, UNLIKE YOU KNOW WHO

    and just to continue my above point, we could make public schools better by attaching the allocated money directly to the student, instead of to the school we force them to go to. make the schools compete with eachother for tuition like private schools.

    let em kill eachother and others ... I know I'll be attacked for this but ... Please don't use the Lord's name in vain.

    Thanks.

    Not at all Rose, you tell it if you feel it needs to be said,

    *breaks character*

    hehe, i won't attack you cause thats kind of adorable.

    however, due to New Yorks recent determination to ban the use of bad words, i feel it is my constitutional obligation to increase the use of bad words wherever i can. that includes my freedom to take the lords name in vain. but since you asked politly, i will cease.

    *breaks character* thats adorable. so i wont attack you.

    but with New Yorks recent insistance on banning bad words, i feel i may need to increase the use of foul religious offending and other bad words.

    And just who is in charge of the educational system? And you want the govt to be in charge of health care? As I told one of my coworkers yesterday, if you really want to see something get screwed up, put the govt in charge of it. Republican OR Democrat.

    Why is it a peasant mentality so attractive and comfortale to the right wing? Read the constitution; WE are the government, if we act like it! Personally, I don't want our governance to remain under the control of monopolies, who set their own rules for the regulation of their economic behavior, and heap the external costs of these activities on society in general.

    What did that dildo Reagan say? "The most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help"? So Ronny was terrified when the cops would show up to check out a prowler or crack-house? When the fire dept shows up to stop his house from burning? What a whore. Things that determine wide-based quality of life are the business of a=us all; and that's the business of OUR government - quit pretending like we have some arbitrary royal regime that we can do nothing about.

    does this board have posting issues? sorry about reposting that.

    I'd be the last to call for Fox Noise to be taken off the air... Are you kidding - backwoods chatter like that helped the Dem's beat the R's like a bad piece of meat in '06 and its well on its way to happening again in '08. Even Noise watchers can still evolve...

    people were the government for about a week.

    Posted by: at August 9, 2007 2:49 PM

    They don't all suck. In my state of Ohio they only suck in economically depressed communities in which the tax base is low, because the state funds its education system via the free-market paradigm of property values and tax base. Some of the best schools in the state are public schools located in the wealthiest suburban communities. The poor are left to fend for themselves - is this the "level playing field" you jokers are always crowing about?

    This system, by the way , has been declared unconstitutional by the State supreme court, but the Republican state legislature has done nothing to fix it.

    Hot Rod, if you think FNC is the reason the democrats swept in 06 (many of them which were /are conservatives at heart, IE Jim Webb) then you have inhaled many fumes in your day....And, if you think FNC is the reason the democrats may win the wh in 08, you sniff glue...:)

    Keep buying into those Howard Dean talking points son

    Anons: A single payer healthcare system need not be a wholly owned government subsidiary, just as you advocate vouchers for the public education system.
    '
    However, we do need to remove the insurance company leeches from the system who's sole function is to act as a gatekeeper who'd interest is in direct opposition to the public good. Where else in in a capatalist mold are those who need services the most become the very ones who become excluded?

    There are many estimates of the cost of the leech-like insurance parasites on our healthcare system, and those estimate do vary. But it is too high in every case, and that money could better be used to make a system that services EVERYBODY more efficient.

    Our system is like it is only because it has evolved that way in a somewhat haphazrd manner. The bulk of the burden lies on private employers who themselves are being relentlessly squeezed into dropping benefits.

    Many who are presently insured are only fooling themselves if they derive much of a feeling of security from that. It could and often is gone in a flash when they need it the most. The last I checked, more than 50% of personal bankruptsies in America were caused by medical expenses....and most of these unfortunate folks WERE insured when the crisis began.

    For those who profess to believe in the American dream, have you ever thought about how many Americans feel trapped in a dead end job simply to maintain insurance benefits that would go away if they tried to start their own business? How much entrepreneurial spirit are we supressing because of this one factor alone?

    We can do FAR better than we are doing, and those who want to do nothing strike me as just plain selfish.

    Are Republican women as generous with fellatio as their husbands are? If so, that could prove a real strength for the party.

    Hey Good Ol' Rog - you just F'd up cowboy... I live in VA and worked for Webb.... What part is conservative? His vote for Federal Funding of Stem Cell research? His efforts to end wiretapping? His efforts to end Dumbya's war? His support to expand SCHIP (children's healtcare paid with taxes)... Listen blockhead you are entitled to you own opinion but you can't make your own facts. Hey, is the new Muslim in Minnesota conservative too? Go back to the doughnut shop if that is the best you got...

    I dont disagree with alot of what you write there Mike, the only question I ask is as the father of a special needs son, what makes you in essence think socialized medicine would make the entire system as a whole better? I dont need or have the time to get on a waiting list to wait for this or that doctor, I need specialists all the time

    ..I have done more research on drug companies tban any of you here could ever imagine, the things that would make your skin crawl, while I am not a Moore guy (I thought Bowling for Columbine was ridiculous when he ineffect attacked a man in charlton heston who has the mental capacity right now of an 8 year old) I thought alot of the points of sicko were pertinent and i only wish he would have hammered the drug companies more

    Mike,

    The "free market" works to provide choices; but in no way represents "efficiency" beyond concerns regarding profit. The system keeps workers scared and off-balance, so they are less apt to demand their rights, and this is frequently cited as "efficiency".

    The competitive re-engineering of such mundane items as tootbrushes and disposable razors, and the huge advertising costs that go along with this masturbatory trend are not efficient. They are perfectly acceptable, because smart people can always ignore the bullshit and let others waste their extra money an the "latest model", but they are hugely wasteful - particularly for Americans since everything is made overseas these day.

    But professional medical care, the education of ourselves and our children, and the maintenance of a basic level of economic stability for the working and non-working poor are concerns that efect the entire society to such a salient degree that they cannot be left to Madison Avenue and Wall Street. Money spent in the maintanence of these area is what "lifts all boats", not pandering to amoral corporations bent on wringing profits from these matters.

    Hey hot rod- I think a simple check of wikipedia will reveal mr webb served time in the reagan administration but i guess when he did that he was as much of a chickenshit liberal as you are, ha

    Hey Buzz Cut Rog - what the hell does that have to do with anything? Romney voted for abortion rights 3 years ago is he a liberal at heart? Guliani pushed gun control, gay rights, abortion is he a liberal at heart? McCain cheated on his wife and married the woman he committed adultry with - Newt did the same thing (except twice) are they not conservatives? Clinton had 7 Republicans in his cabinet including the Dept of Defense... You are so out of it I cannot believe you function and I sincerly hope you do not have offspring...

    Just a further point your rodness.....

    Jim Webb is a guy who has been all over the politcal Map endorseing Chuck Robb in 94, GEORGE ALLEN joey Muccah himself in 2000...and gee he sure likes those firearms like the rest o dem liberals don't he?

    He's a weather vane, he'll do anything or say anything to get elected...Pelosi,Dean et all told all of them look we dont give a shit, you run against the war and that's it..the fighting democrats, hahahaha

    You think hes a typical liberal democrat your too stupid to even debate here

    Butt Plug Rog - you such a wonk - tell me the one vote he did not align with the caucus on this year... I'm waiting... I don't think your backwoods boys on Fox Noise will be able to tell you so you better ask your toothless friends at the coffee shop...

    And this goes back to my original point as well, a true liberal tells you what to think, a conservative tells you to think for yourself

    I happen to believe what I wrote about Jim Webb, I could care less if you sleep in the same bed with him, or where the little fillipino boy whose father put his penis in his mouth from his book (ha thats a joke), or helped him in his campaign

    Hey good for you being a part of his campaign and being a part of the process, if you think hes a dye in the whool liberal, to that i say, then what's Howard Dean? Ha

    Again keep suckin on that Howard Dean FNC is evil talking point im too stuoid to think for myself thank heavens im a redneck, hahahahaha

    Butt Plug, that is a good one though, I'll give you that

    [Webb's] efforts to end wiretapping?

    What?

    He just voted to authorize the very program the left has been breathlessly saying violates The Constitution. The feckless democrats do have their finger to the wind when it comes to such matters and don't have the guts to back up their rhetoric. Senator Webb did nothing regarding the NSA program other than allowing The Bush Administration to do exactly what they have been doing since 9/11.

    Get informed.

    I consider Webb to be a conservative Democrat - He was a registered Republican until recently, in fact.

    But he makes a lot of sense on the war, and I get the impression that he is not the type to pay black men for oral access to their penises and rationalize it as a reaction to racial terror.

    [Webb's] efforts to end Dumbya's war?

    What?

    When did he vote to stop funding the executive's war policy? When did any congressional democrat do ANYTHING constitutional to stop The Iraq War. They have not. Promises made....rhetoric hot.....NO ACTION, slappy.

    Stop the war.....cut the funds!

    Remember Rog ol' gaping one... I said FNC good - - GOOD GOOD GOOD... Makes it much easier to point out the stupidity, simplicity and venom of the right... And man mounter - frankly I don't care if Webb secretly goose steps at night like many on the right - but the man votes with the D's EVERY time... No that is what I'm talkin' bout... If it makes you feel better he worked for the gipper 25 years ago well hey have at it... You need something to feel good about these days...

    It is weird to think of Olbermann reading this blog. With all the good things going for him (big $$$$ contract, steady girlfriend, new digs, ratings up for Countdown, Football in the fall, MSM lovefest articles) why would he care what Olbermann Watch says about him. Then again, I can't figure out why a grown man would collect baseball cards.

    Shhhh. Don't confuse them with the facts. It's more amusing that way.

    I see steal has a new name.

    "but the man votes with the D's EVERY time"

    Look up the passed bill S.1927, HotRod....Webb voted YEA

    http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00309

    The Constituion will continue to be violated, heavens to mergatroid!

    We are one of the biggest reasons that insurance is becoming beyond affordable. Big lawsuits leads to higher malpractice premiums. Which, in turn, are passed on to the consumer (patient). Many doctors now are practicing "naked" (without malpractice insurance).

    Is HotRod a troll acting stupid in an attempt to make the left look stupid?

    They don't need the help.

    cee - The Senate has yet to take up the FY O8 Defense bill?? Remember Webb is a Senator... And yes, he did vote for S. 1927 AFTER a blistering floor speech recorded in congressional record...

    Gay bashing? I thought you liberals were the party of tolerence, I gave you comedy points for butt plug, man-mounter on top of that? I just took a dump that was funnier than that

    More gay bashing and Im going to put you on report to Nancy Pelosi and the party of tolerence so your punishment will be you will become cabanna boy at Barney Frank's next soiree'

    Hey! Don't forget us, mang. We love to juse jore emergency rooms on the Saturdays as our free cleenics. We know we will neber actually has to pay. We send out a beeg GRACIAS to jue peoples with the health eensurance. Jore premiums help to keep us healthy. I meen, someone has to pay, right? Just not us.

    By the way, many D's voted S. 1927 including that solidly conservaite Feinstein LOL... Not a good benchmark... Point is - he has been the best new party man there is... And those conservative Hollywood friends of his sure bring the cash... Again, there are dozens of examples of folks switching parties... For God's sake Strom Thurmond started out a Democrat! Hillary Clinton was the President of the College Republicans? By that marker are you going to be a ok if she is President? Since she has Republican roots is she just a good ol' conservative?

    Anybody see Bush's press conferrence this morning? Christ, the man is such an idiot - as is anyone who puts any credence is his inarticulate flubbery.

    Someone asked him about his plan to cut corporate taxes, and he said that this was "an idea that has been recently floated in meetings, and is being explored as a way to help out the economy". Holy Fuck! and the gaggle let him get away with this aboslute bullshit. Memory holes are real hazards for this country, and we must be the laughing stock of the world.

    "AFTER a blistering floor speech recorded in congressional record......."


    ###
    Oooo, well he was against it before he voted for it, then? Wow. I am impressed. Just like I was impressed when he voted yes for the 100 Million Bush asked for in May....no kidding?

    We'll see what these impotent and pathetic politicians do when the Iraq and Afghanistan funding renewal comes up again.....Censure? Unenforcable time-tables/benchmarks?.....Nothing, HotRod!

    And you were wrong about Webb voting with the D's 100% of the time.....admit it now, will you?


    "Former Clark County GOP Chair and newly elected Young Republican National Federation Chair Glenn Murphy is under investigation for criminal deviate conduct, a Class B felony, for allegedly engaging in oral sex with a sleeping victim.

    "Young Republicans"? This guy is 33 years old - both they guys that he's sexually assaulted in their sleep were in their early 20's. Poor fuckers - working for and putting their trust in a hypcritical predator like that.

    At least that other Republican fellatist Bob Allen offered the guy a twenty - face to face, eyeball to eyeball - before he sucked his cock. Almost seems like a clear-eyed paragon of virtue on the Scale of Repubicans.

    But really, are there ANY of you guys that don't suffer from these destructive internal contradictions? Deal with it; be honest with yourselves or you're just going to destroy your own lives and those of the people around you.

    A black guy was arrested for beating a white woman. Must mean all black guys beat white women.
    But really, are there ANY black guys that don't suffer from these destructive internal contradictions? Deal with it black guys, be honest with yourselves or you're just going to destroy your own lives and those of the people around you.

    Well Rog - guess you pointed out I'm not as liberal as you venomously spewed out... Not that I mind the label but I couldn't care less about some of the issues on that platform and am very pro-ife... Do the R's automatically follow everything on that platform? I thought you decided indepentedly?

    Please, quit being coy. You guys have makle prostitutes crawling all over the power centers of your party - Jeff Gannon and that shill who just lied about the New Republic story...


    Hot Rod,please brocepheus lemme spell it out for you

    A true conservative doesnt care what you are, you can root for the things and believe in the things you choose to believe in....That in the end is true tolerence....I belive in a goverment that leaves me the fuck alone and lets me live my life, stay out of my wallet, stay out of my bedroom, leave me alone

    All the batshit loons on this board who hit you with the FNC nonsense is just deafening, because I watch Hannity and Colmes I am what's wrong with the world, thats absurd

    As for my attempt at humor to a guy who accuses me of man mounting and wearing a butt plug as being venemous, i say lighten up francis, if you are gonna come with comedy just lighten up

    A Liberal tells you what to think
    A Conservative tells you to think for yourself

    Support your party man, remember the mantra we report....You decide

    You are right. I guess those two are the examples for the entire republican party. I apologize for not realizing that those examples are reflective of the entire party. But wait, I guess that DOES mean that all black men beat white women. Or at the very least, want to.

    Is your penis an innie, son?...

    All you left wingers who "loathe the military" (in the famous words of Bill Clinton) listen up. My account in the New Republic of the abuse that our troops are heaping on innocent women, children, and animals blows the lid off the myth that our troops are honorable because I saw it myself with my own eyes in Iraq . . . oh wait, you know on second thought maybe it wasn't really Iraq maybe it was really Kuwait, after all who can really remember one sand filled rathole of a country from the other one right?

    But other than the fact that I got the wrong country everything else about what I have said is true. And I have absolutley no agendas or any vested interest at all other than saying what really happened . . . well, except that my wife works at the New Republic, but that doesn't matter because the NR has always had a reputation for publishing stuff that is always sourced and completely verifiable and . . . what's that you say? What movie are you talking about? Shattered Glass? What the hell does that have to do with anything? Who the hell is Stephen Glass?

    Yeah Roger dude, you are a dumb, dumb man... and exhausting... Don't forget to punch your wife in the face tonight when your favorite wrestler loses that match...

    I tried to be nice to you, good luck at the next NAMBLA Meeting assmunch,,,

    HotRod,
    Since you are making the assumption about Roger, since he seems to be a conservative, let's play the same game with you.

    We can only assume that you and your life parter (Who must have given you the nickname HotRod) will be attending the Gay Pride Parade in your area this weekend. And afterwards, going with a gaggle of your girlfriends to the abortion clinic to help them get rid of those unwanted parasites brought unto them by their 'free love' lifestyle. Then settle in for the night for a little snuggling and anal probing of one another. Sounds like a swell time.

    Trustworthy NR---

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Glass

    Shatterd Glass is a pretty good movie, check it out

    Yeah, that is cool... You guys are neat... First I'm homophobic now homosexual? Only Fox Noise viewers could make the jump... Hey when you can't win making up your own facts talk about things you learned from your uncle as a little boy... Was Mark Foley a Republican? Oh yeah, he is....

    Why do Progressives support Islamic extermists?

    Log Cabin Republicans... Now that is family values Rog... LOL

    http://www.logcabin.org/logcabin/home.html

    "Log Cabin Republicans stand on the front lines of today’s most important battle for the civil rights of gay and lesbian Americans"

    I never called you homophobic. I just took your way of thinking about (apparently) all Republicans and applied the (exaggerated) perception of liberals to you. If you can't take it, don't do it. I apologize if I made you cry. I'm sure your life partner will comfort you.

    Now you steal my humor loser, I hit you first with you'll be the cabana boy at Barney Franks next soiree and you accused me of being venemous

    Boo Hoo fox news fox news, Hot Rod......Are You Keith? rumors about Keith lives on this board? ha

    Hot Rod, ha, I bet youve had your hot rod in a few of those quarterhorses....

    Man you R's have dirty mouths? Family values? Good ol' Americana? Ouch - you guys are the best - great examples to show people and say "do you want to be like the person?" I knew all you R's were filthy... Yuck I need to wash my hands just thinking about who disgusting your trailer must be LOL!!!

    one guy above cited lawsuits as the reason health care is so high. that is A reason, but not the reason. Third party pay system, where people demand more care than they need because someone else is paying for it, is the main reason. National health care wont change that. we need to push paying your own health care whenever you can, and go from there.

    HotRod,
    You seem to be laughing at people coming out in support of gay rights. Does your LOL mean that you do consider the gay lifestyle in support of family values? Or are you LOLing at the very people supporting gay rights and somehow digging at their family values? Wait, I know. You are LOLing at them being republicans. Who cares what they are actually supporting.

    Ahab- Who broke out the butt plug and the man mounting material first?...

    I hope Jim Webbs aide accidentally wings you in the shoulder for what you must do to those poor horses

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787475/

    The people at Paramount must be trying to dig up a little extra busines by unleashing the Hot Rod here today

    the solution to iraq.

    right wing - wants to win the war no matter the cost and ensure that future iraq doesn't breed terrorist.

    left wing - wants the war over now, no more americans to die, and doesn't really care what happens in iraq after that or how many die.

    solution that appeases both sides?

    nuke em. turn iraq into a radioactive parking lot. everybody wins.


    except iraq of course.

    Genius - I was LOL that these "conservatives" are slamming (pun intended) gays when the Log Cabin Republicans are making a hard push (another intended) for gay R's.... That and you just had an R congressman resign (not for fraud this time) for fondling young boys... I'm LOLing b/c you claim to be for family values - and yes, hypocrite is a perfect tagline for you... Well maybe dumb hypocrite...

    not that there is anything wrong with it, but is anyone else ammused that all a guy called "hot rod quarterhorses" can talk about is gayness?

    there is just something really gay about that name. carry on.

    Since you feel that all conservatives must think the same way, you must be a fruitypants. I mean, since it is obviously beyond your comprehension that not everyone in either party can hold thoughts or values other than the 'party line,' you must love being gay and aborting babies. Oh, and you are probably a single mother of four being supported by the govt.

    The Weekly Standard has learned from a military source close to the investigation that Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp -- author of the much-disputed "Shock Troops" article in the New Republic's July 23 issue as well as two previous "Baghdad Diarist" columns -- signed a sworn statement admitting that all three articles he published in the New Republic were exaggerations and falsehoods -- fabrications containing only "a smidgen of truth," in the words of our source.

    Separately, we received this statement from Major Steven F. Lamb, the deputy Public Affairs Officer for Multi National Division-Baghdad:

    "An investigation has been completed and the allegations made by PVT Beauchamp were found to be false. His platoon and company were interviewed and no one could substantiate the claims."

    Oh, and you are probably a single mother of four being supported by the govt.

    So lets wrap up on the rodster

    Now THATS FUNNY!

    oh man, i am actually kinda glad this place exists. i hate that guy. not even just his views, just olbermann in general. hated him since sportscenter. (never really liked dan patrick either. Is there a Patrickwatch.com?)

    Man, I cannot believe you meth heads have went from calling me homophobic to homo? Awesome... Dust off your knuckles log cabin boys... I'd love to stay around and school you boys but its recess up here.... BTW, that is the name of my stable where my family has raised horses worth more than you and that trailer you live in combined! Choke on that slappy!!!

    Thanks for taking it to these jerks today HotRod! I agree with about 95% of what you've said!! Do you work in DC?

    BTW, that is the name of my stable where my family has raised horses worth more than you and that trailer you live in combined
    ............................................................

    why is it one minute all republicans are rich, with the best health insurance in the world, and then the next we're a uneducated trailer trash?

    also, why is it democrats are always the smartest and most educated, then the next minute they are all the poor dregs of society?

    anyways, a bug hand for the stable boy.

    Your a butt pirate Hot Rod, all the gay stuff in here today came from You, stay away from those horses big guy

    choke on that slappy????

    wtf? are you seriously going to recess, cause thats the only thing that could excuse that comment.

    Your gay, your gay, your gay. Are you representative of all Republicans? Narrow minded mud slinging? No wonder you all lost so big last election

    I'm convinced Olbermann doesn't really exists.
    He's a Holographic image that just spews whatever the latest Daily Kos Talking points are.

    "An investigation has been completed and the allegations made by PVT Beauchamp were found to be false. His platoon and company were interviewed and no one could substantiate the claims."

    This is bullcrap! I work for the New Republic! We have a reputation for factual and hard hitting stories and the stories I told about the abusive actions of our troops in Iraq . . . er, Kuwait, yeah that's it, are all completely true!

    This is a whitewash. This is just like the Dan Rather deal where they had the goods on Bush dead to rights that he went AWOL and they ran Dan Rather off because he was doing his jon as an objective reporter. Vast right wing conspiracy! Vast right wing conspiracy!

    hey look everybody, Mike and Iran are on the same page.

    alright mike.

    I'm sure all the oralloons will be boycotting TVNEWSER. Poor Keity get's no respect even from this "site" made for him.

    Olbersessd.com: yes I would agree there is a lot of "locker room stuff" here, but lately there have been some smart back and forth by both left & right. (Sorry, originally put this in the wrong thread).

    There were some valid comments in OW concerning the subtle rascism of the Barry Bonds question asked of only Obama. Here's a good article that expands on this point:

    http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/341059/aflcio_presidential_debate_a_high_jinks.html

    AFL-CIO Presidential Debate: A High Jinks on Media Integrity
    By TOMBARI BONKOO

    "Then, what was the goal here? It is simple: perpetuating the great doctrine of divine-and-rule. Pinning down Mr. Obama on whether he is going to play host to the controversial record breaking baseball player, Bonds at the White House was geared towards one strategy-creating more sentiment among African Americans against the candidacy of Mr. Obama.

    Adding credence to my claim, immediately after this question was posed to Mr. Obama, the moderator laid a soft landing ground for Hillary Clinton who is in great competition with Obama on African American votes. Hillary was asked what she will do to confront with the reality of the myriad problems of Katrina and education-two issues deeply rooted in the minds of African Americans. "

    I just saw the cable news ratings for Wednesday. Bathtub boys ratings are taking a dump. He should just put a shotgun in his mouth and end it all!

    Read it and weep, liberals are the king of the pork, again.


    http://www.clubforgrowth.org/2007/08/the_2007_club_for_growth_repor.php

    Read it and weep, liberals are the king of the pork, again. I posted 2 interesting ones, since I know the spolbyloons wll run full speed.


    http://www.clubforgrowth.org/2007/08/the_2007_club_for_growth_repor.php

    Some of the targeted pork projects this year include:

    $2 million for a "Paint Shield for Protecting People from Microbial Threats," requested by Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH-11). Rep. John Campbell challenged Murtha to demonstrate that the $2 million earmark would be effective and that it had been put up for a competitive bid. Murtha could not. Amendment failed, 91-317.
    $1 million to the Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, requested by Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). No congressional member could confirm the existence of the alleged Center. Amendment failed, 98-326.

    I can't say one way or the other if Club For Growth is a "right wing blog," but, the complete list of voters and pork bills is listed and shows no favoritism, either way. Fairly cut and dry. It's not the full history of pork bills, just the most recent. The "bridge to nowhere" was how long ago? Clucker, did you actually go to the link and read it, or just in denial? Or, are you the complete idiot?

    "bathtub boys ratings are taking a dump"
    TAKING a dump?
    TAKING?

    Krazy Keef's ratings have BEEN in the toilet since day one. He ROUTINELY comes in DEAD LAST- even behind re-runs of Deal or No Deal on CNBC!

    Now that he has hosted the LOWEST RATED presidential debate EVER- maybe he will see NOBODY is watching HIM.

    When the liberals don't watch you,
    and the conservatives don't watch you,
    and the women don't like you,
    and the men don't lie you...
    maybe its YOU.

    Hey RK,

    Do yourself a favor, stop quoting K-Street PACs as unbiased news. Dumbass.

    Do yourself a favor, read the link, it's fair, unlike Olby.


    RK's Club for Growth link does seem pretty straight-forward, however I do have some skepticism of it coming from a single-source and a lobby group [like anon 1033 rudely suggests]. Fortunately, there are several other sites to give support to the CFG's numbers while adding context, comparing this year's pork-o-rama to the last few years.

    For example, this one from Citizens Against Government Waste:

    ... which suggests this year's proposed pork is the smallest amount seen since 1999, after a trend of record-breaking pork-adding sessions. Sure, pork is worth clamping down on, regardless whose party is adding the bacon, but consider snapshots like the CFG's with context, albeit a qualified "improvement" over the last few GOP-controlled congresses.

    Speaking of pork, how about the extra-constitutional ones?:

    Oops!

    "It's funny that you brain dead morons think that the Dan Rather incident proves that Bush didn't go AWOL."

    Sorry sport, that ship has already sailed into the sunset along with the Bush-stole-the-Ohio-vote-in-2004 moonbattery that Olbermann promoted relentlessly to the point that he was laughed at even by other lefty media outlets.

    I tell you what-- let's have Henry Waxman open up yet another useless investigation on the AWOL issue so we can re-tread the same ground on yet another issue that has been already been endlessly examined with no finding of impropriety. That ought to really get the ratings of Congress back up there, eh?

    ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF LYME DISEASE IS SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS.
    EXPLAINS A LOT, DOESN'T IT ?

    Thank, patsy!

    Then all Democrats must be infected by Lyme Disease as they all seem to think that every ill in this country begins and ends with George W. Bush. They seem to think that things were perfectly rosy when a Dem was in office. They should be reminded that those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

    Democrats have very short memories and very tiny brains. What do you expect?

    well, you know.

    I didn't know 10-year olds were developed enough to have breasts yet. Unless her sugar daddy has brought her a set that is.

    why not a new set of tits? He should buy her a new nose first though-that's quite the honker she's got on her. maybe he can give her a complete body-overhaul and bail her daddy out of bankruptcy too.

    That Keith was spotted getting his driver to cruise playgrounds while he was in Chicago to pick out his next girlfriend. Accent on the word g-i-r-l.

    Nothing could be more juvenile than the girls that Keith chooses to date.

    Yet Name and if YOU have spoken about an issue, we here at Olbywatch are just all ears. LOL. Who the hell do you think you are? Keith Olbermann? Do you think YOUR opinion matters to us in the slightest? Do you think your opinion matters to ANYONE? Get a clue. Get a grip. Get a life. GET A BRAIN!

    That was Tommy Thompson, not Fred Thompson, who has not officially entered the race yet to drop out.

    Sharon, just goes to show you the level of how uninformed and how desperate certain loons are to attack me. They can't even get names right. That's probably the same person that made the exact same mistake a while back, the Fred/Tommy mistake.

    Jeff: "Sharon, just goes to show the level of how uninformed and how desperate certain loons are to attack me."

    There you go again....deluding yourself into believing anyone is "desperate to attack you".

    In YOUR case, your paranoia is masking your dementia.

    Jeff, people "attack" you for several very good reasons:

    1) - You are a moron!

    2) - You make it so easy!

    3) - It's fun!

    4) - You are a serial pathological liar!

    5) - You have never refrained from attacking others...even when you have to lie to do it.

    If I am a serial pathlogical liar, like you and philby are, I must have a whole list of lies like you guys do. Where are they?

    I just gave you one huge list of your lies Jeff:

    You LIED each and every time you accused me of posting as someone else....and you LIED each and every time you accused someone else of posting as me....You LIED Jeff...get it! LIED....over and over again! You haven't even learned your lesson - you still keep claiming you know who anons and certain other names are even now.

    Why won't you respond to this?

    ALso I just caught you in another lie a just today when you claimed that 'several' Olbermann supporters have claimed that the US blew up the Golden Dome....and I called you on it....with no response...again!

    You ignored that just as you ignor me every time I ask you to own up to your MANY lies about me posting as someone else.
