Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


November 5, 2007
Countdown with Keith Olbermann - November 5, 2007

Bathtub Boy

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

  • WATERBOARDING!
  • SPECIAL EDUCATION KOMMENT: Bush's criminal conspiracy
  • GREEN GORE

Olbermann Watch servers are acting up, and Oralmann's writers have cooked up another Special Education Komment. What better excuse to take the night off? We aren't going to sit through an hour of Fat Ass bellowing about a procedure that was resorted to all of three times, and hasn't even been used for years. If/when this post shows up, consider it an open thread to discuss the latest obscenities from the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann.

So since being forced into an apology to Rudi Countdown has turned into CutRudiDown w/ KO and tonight he MAKES FUN ON THE MANS LISP b/c Rudi mad efun of Hillary, wow a true newsman KO

But on Olby Planet......

THAT'S THREE TIMES TOO MANY!

I'm really surprised it took this long for a 'Krazy Keith Special Koment' I think it's at least two weeks over due.

Let's see if an MSM puff-peice will follow in the next day or to.

Bush's criminal conspiracy?

Yeah, and those 'Karl Rove Indicments are going to show up any day now too. Right?

This is nothing new, all this is nothing new!

Bob Hope had this crew pegged years ago!

Olbermann is a worthless piece of rat smegma. A pitiful and painful excuse for a human life form. He and his show are jokes.

Keith has become the David Duke on the Left. So driven and bold during is screeds. So very wrong and deeply bigoted against anyone who doesn't toe the Thinkprogress line. His conflation of waterboarding is a new low. I wonder what Rebecca Lobo would think about Keith's drive?

Olberblow is so pitiful. He needs to be put out of his misery. Fire him, dump him on an island in the arctic. No, wait, keep him in his insignificant spot on his insignificant little TV show. He does so little harm in plain view. He is impotent.

I am curious to hear your take on one of Olby's guests tonight. I can't remember her name or her exact title but she was an expert on the Middle East who left the Bush Administration last year. The lead in indicated that she was supposed to bash Bush for not taking a strong stand against Musharraf. She did criticize the Bush administration but not in the way which he had planned. She actually presented a completely different view, one that threw him. He stumbled, as he does when confronted with a live situation, because he couldn't follow the script. He knew he was dealing with someone who would criticize the administration and after a couple of questions, she received the "many, many thanks" for calling Bush incompetent. Interview ended. He's Bush and he has to be wrong, even if I have no idea what the hell I am talking about!

I could have perceived it wrong.

you people are disgusting. olbermann is the only person that i have seen who is brave enough to challenge the president. perhaps if more people were actually able to speak their minds we wouldn't be plagued by people like bush and you idiots...

Well, can we help it if you're a bunch of paranoiac weinies who are too afraid to speak your minds?

jeff, Keith is a drama queen and nobody takes him seriously.

MR BUSH IS GOING TO PRISON. Yeah, right Olby. Go masturbate in private, you flatuent poseur.

What a long-winded, sanctimonious jackass.

For Olby to speak his mind, he would have to have a brain. But going by the high regard you give this retard, I'd say you're lacking in the higher brain function yourself.

Oops! Sorry, Cecelia. I mean to say:

Well, I'd surely agree with you if I had written what you've attributed to me.

You might want to get your eyes checked, as well as your higher brain functioning...

I did print a retraction and quoted the correct poster.

Cecelia's just sloshed, as usual. Don't pay too much attention to her.

you guys are funny. all your attacks are ad hominum (ya, look it up). so funny. no righty can attack with a substantive rebuff to the actual content in KO's Special Comment in any informed or educated manner. stay ad hominum though; it works for you all. attack, attack, attack! that's it!
oh yeah and viva ann culter ;-)

put the same fervor into disproving the lefty allegations (like "olby's") that bush isn't the most corrupt and damaging president to hold the office and that he should be impeached, removed from office, and tried and convicted for war crimes.
how do you all sleep at night (good pharmeceuticals?)

You're correct, of course, Allsmiles, but you know the Righties/Repugnants/Bushites all think Coulter is a rational voice for their positions.

Dear leftists....I mean Larry and Allsmiles....

In our logical system...it is not us righties that are required to disprove anything....it is on those making the accusations of criminality to persuade others to convict.....not in the court of public opinion, but in a much more adult and proper forum....

Impeachment hearings

A vote in The House of Representatives on Impeachment

Senate Investigative hearings

A Senate court impanelled to remove Bush and Cheney from office

A judical proceeding with jury

Olbermann is a shill...He has not allowed one person to rebut any charges he has made in his Special Comments. You two forget that all of the above is available to your democratic party representatives and they have chosen to not even try ONE!

He, he, he....

I do not agree with Olbermann's presentation of the facts....He is biased, wants ratings from those who believe as he does and only does these little presentations to please his corporate bosses....they need ratings improvements.

Olbermann has not done one thing to bring any charges against Bush et al....He speaks....big deal....His words are no more credible than Rush's and Hannity's simply because he has shown not one ounce of objectivity or fairness in his coverage of events for the last 6 years.

So please....take you requests that I disprove baseless allegations in a public opinion court to where they belong....To the trash. Until I see Bush, Cheney or others in orange jump suits standing before a judge, I laugh at your demogoguery....Just like Olbermann's spitting about Rove, Gonzo and the rest who are doing just fine...

hopefully soon they will find his body face down floating in the east river with all the other garbage

Ah- The New York Times Reports on what we at OlbermannWatch knew for the last two years. Drink the koolaid and read the article... the ratings cited are inflated... the talking points are straight from media matters... and they report the slant as though it is newfound. This is news?

Riding a ratings wave from “Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” a program that takes strong issue with the Bush administration, MSNBC is increasingly seeking to showcase its nighttime lineup as a welcome haven for viewers of a similar mind.

Rosie O’Donnell, known for her liberal views, has been mentioned as a possible host for a talk show on MSNBC.
Lest there be any doubt that the cable channel believes there is ratings gold in shows that criticize the administration with the same vigor with which Fox News’s hosts often champion it, two NBC executives acknowledged yesterday that they were talking to Rosie O’Donnell about a prime-time show on MSNBC.

During the nine months she spent on “The View” before departing abruptly last spring, Ms. O’Donnell raised viewership notably. She did so while lamenting the unabated casualties of the Iraq war and advocating the right to gay marriage, among other positions.

Under one option, Ms. O’Donnell would take the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, pitting her against “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News.

But even without Ms. O’Donnell, MSNBC already presents a three-hour block of nighttime talk — Chris Matthews’s “Hardball” at 7, Mr. Olbermann at 8, and “Live With Dan Abrams” at 9 — in which the White House takes a regular beating. The one early-evening program on MSNBC that is often most sympathetic to the administration, “Tucker” with Tucker Carlson at 6 p.m., is in real danger of being canceled, said one NBC executive, who, like those who spoke of Ms. O’Donnell, would do so only on condition of anonymity.

Having a prime-time lineup that tilts ever more demonstrably to the left could be risky for General Electric, MSNBC’s parent company, which is subject to legislation and regulation far afield of the cable landscape. Officials at MSNBC emphasize that they never set out to create a liberal version of Fox News.

“It happened naturally,” Phil Griffin, a senior vice president of NBC News who is the executive in charge of MSNBC, said Friday, referring specifically to the channel’s passion and point of view from 7 to 10 p.m. “There isn’t a dogma we’re putting through. There is a ‘Go for it.’”

Fox News consistently denies any political bias in its programming. But whether by design or not, MSNBC is managing to add viewers at a moment when its hosts echo the country’s disaffection with President Bush.

The channel has done so much as Fox News did beginning in 1996, when the president was Bill Clinton, a Democrat. On some nights recently, Mr. Olbermann has even come tantalizingly close to surpassing the ratings of the host he describes as his nemesis, Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, at least among viewers ages 25 to 54, which is the demographic cable news advertisers prefer. Most of the time, though, Mr. O’Reilly outdraws Mr. Olbermann by about 1.5 million viewers over all at the same hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Still, as its most recognizable face, MSNBC has marshaled behind Mr. Olbermann, who on July 3, in an eight-minute “special comment” at the close of his show, addressed President Bush directly and called on him to resign. Two months later, the channel chose Mr. Olbermann to serve as the principal host of its coverage of a major prime-time address by Mr. Bush.

Mr. Olbermann’s “special comments” — more than 20 in the last 12 months, and nearly all of them first-person editorials that find some fault with the administration — have helped increase the ratings of his program by 33 percent in just the last year, to about 773,000 viewers a night, according to Nielsen. With those ratings, Mr. Olbermann’s program surpassed “Paula Zahn Now” on CNN, which was canceled last summer.

Mr. Olbermann comes on after “Hardball” with Mr. Matthews, whose longtime opposition to the war — and to what he describes as Vice President Dick Cheney’s outsize role in the administration — has become only more pointed since he took on the title of managing editor of his broadcast over the summer.

Since then, he has talked, both on the air and off, about the “criminality” of the Bush White House, as epitomized, he says, by the role of I. Lewis Libby Jr., the vice president’s former chief of staff, in the C.I.A. leak case. Mr. Matthews’s overall ratings have edged up in the process, though not on the scale of Mr. Olbermann’s.

Even Joe Scarborough, once a conservative congressman from Florida who stood behind President Bush during a campaign rally in 2004, has seemed to have a change of heart about his fellow Republicans in recent months, as is obvious to viewers of “Morning Joe,” his new morning show on MSNBC. In recent weeks, he could be heard praising Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s outreach to the military and her husband’s accomplishments as an ex-president, sentiments that, he acknowledged, had surprised even him.

In a telephone interview yesterday morning, hours before the news of the O’Donnell negotiations surfaced, Mr. Scarborough sounded more like Mr. Olbermann than vintage Newt Gingrich.

“I’m just as conservative as I was in 1994, when everyone was calling me a right-wing nut,” he said. “I think the difference is the Republican Party leaders, a lot of them, have run a bloated government, have been corrupt, and have gone a very, very long way from what we were trying to do in 1994. Also, the Republican Party has just been incompetent.”

Asked if Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews in particular provided an outlet for the opinions of viewers unhappy with the current administration, Mr. Scarborough said yes.

“While I don’t agree with a lot of the things those guys say night in and night out,” he said, “I think it’s very important that those disaffected voices have a place to go when they think somebody out there needs to be speaking truth to power.”

Which is not to say that all of the channel’s hosts speak in one voice. On that same day last month when Mr. Scarborough spoke warmly of the Clintons, for example, he also referred to Democrats generally as “stupid people” and “morons.”

In an interview Friday, Mr. Matthews, who was once an aide to Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., the former Democratic speaker of the House, recalled that his criticisms of the Clintons in the mid-to-late 1990s made him an outcast within the party, and are still echoed in his skepticism about Mrs. Clinton today.

“I really do take on people with power,” he said. “Deceit is what drives me crazy, either by Bill Clinton or the hawks in this administration.”

That said, in a separate interview last week, Mr. Olbermann acknowledged that for MSNBC’s nighttime lineup to ultimately work, viewers needed to be able to follow at least some common themes from one show to another. He likened himself and his fellow hosts, collectively, to the menu of a hamburger restaurant with several variations of the same dish.

“If you go into a burger place, and you go in there for the fish, you might want the fish occasionally but it’s probably a mistake,” he said. “Could you be utterly different politically and succeed in this format? You’d basically be throwing your audience away.”

Hey Puck,

You hit the nail on the head brother. We'll never hear the end from Olbycreep about the puff piece from the paper that has "all the news that's fit to slant." Olbydouche will cherrypick all the good stuff, and conveniently leave the part out how Billo kicks his ass virtually every night.

I forced myself to sit through his "speshul komment" last night. I honestly couldn't tell you one specific thing he said because I was too focused on that white speck of spittle attached to his top lip for the majority of his rant (Christ, what's he trying to do, imitate "dribbles" mathews). That and the fact that he takes himself so seriously. And HE has the gall to refer to Limbaugh as a comedian.

What a farce!!

By the way, is it just me, or does everyone on the set on the NFL show he's on seem to ignore him as much as possible. I've never seen a sports show that is so uncomfortable to watch. I think they all despise the creep.

Speshul Comment that Olbermahn spit
Waterboy has a head full of shit
Propaganda Keith spews
NBC's moonbat news
In the ratings Keith's sucking hind tit

"Daniel Levin took himself to a military base and let himself be waterboarded.

Mr. Bush, ever done anything that personally courageous?"

You have got to be kidding me!

The guy should have a statue because he was waterboarded?

Well common there Mister BIG, BAD and BRAVE. If you got any guts in you're panties, move you're fat ass out of the chair and do something about it.

I'm still waiting for those 'Karl Rove Indicments'.

Hey what will the dopey loons build me if I get waterboarded?

If you follow stupid's logic, then I guess you dopes should call you're Democrat leaders and get a bloated govt. grant.

Because you are going to have to build 3 or 4 statues in Washington to terroists that have been waterboarded, right?

Here's what I love about you looney tunes. You say he is the dumbest president ever. You also parade around dopey facts about him being a criminal. You have Edward R. Moron aka Teleprompter Boy, read a bunch of crap to you Zombies and you drink it up.

Yet in six plus years you bunch of third rate, street corner, Perry Masons. Have not been able to come up with one thing. NOT ONE CHARGE!

Let me repeat that for WDYT because he hasn't had his daily dose yet.

NOT ONE CHARGE!

And meanwhile, you're DEMOCRATIC lead Congress has a lower rating than MR. BUSH!

And you're MSLSD along with CNN fights for crumbs while FOX NEWS. that's right FOX NEWS! Has the bulk of the pie.

I said it before.

I'll say it again.

And since some of you don't get it I'll keep saying it for a while longer.

Even Bob Hope had you all pegged back in the day.

Did anyone understand Olbermann's Speacial Ed Comments last night?
He loooked deranged and incoherent!

And for the true believers today.....a compare and contrast......

Judge Mukasey is approved to become our nationas top law enforcement officer in committee, with bipartisan support....ha, ha, ha!

The only true avenue to accomplish what Mr. Olbermann spat out last night, Articles of Impeachment on Vice President Dick Cheney, will be brought up for discussion and approval in The House of Representatives.

In the end, there will be no contrast because the leftist ruling class will fail in their attempt to feed the hunger that rages in their fringe base. Poor morons like larry, mental midget (why), whiney mikey and Anonymous....where to place your complaints?

Oh boy. What a funny situation. Keith Olbermann spits poetic last night, the very elites he brown-noses as a "journalist" fail his rhetoric, and the criminals remain safely in office, fully funded and policy intact (and fully funded!!!!).....

Today feels like it is going to be a taunting day.....

STOP THE WAR.....CUT THE FUNDS NOW!
STOP THE CRIMINALS.....IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!

And this is my post today, the 1,651st day since the declaration of Mission Accomplished in Iraq.....

I am cee, good night and good luck.

"I'd tell you that the Democrats are talking a good game, but they're not even doing that. Everybody in Congress has to understand something: If they continue to fund this war, it's not just the President who owns it. They own it, too." Sgt. Liam Madden

"There were a few tense moments, however, including an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches and who said he was a corporal with the 82nd Airborne Division and lost his right leg below the knee in Ramadi, Iraq. Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration's policies in Iraq. Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back." NYT 1/28/07

"I think the Vietnamese are better off in Vietnam," George McGovern - NEWSWEEK

"Lefties: Leave these pathetic drowning rats alone to stew in each other's juices. Get yourselves out in the street and fight this criminal administration in ways that really mean something, and that are noted by more than a handful of keyboard heroes!" Sir Loin of Beef

"American liberals need to face these truths: The demand for self-government was and remains strong in Iraq despite all our mistakes and the violent efforts of al Qaeda, Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias to disrupt it." DEMOCRAT Bob Kerrey

"If we end up saying that because these people are committing these acts of terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan, that we shouldn't have done the removal of Saddam or the removal of the Taliban, then we are making a fundamental mistake about our own future, about security, about the values we should be defending in the world." TONY BLAIR

"You can't bring the troops home if you give George Bush $100 billion to wage this war. You're not supporting them. You're keeping them in harm's way." CINDY SHEEHAN

"There is no doubt ... that Al Qaeda is operating in Iraq. There is no doubt that we've had to take very strong measures against them. And there is no doubt that the Iraqi security forces have got to be strong enough to be able to withstand not just the violence that has been between the Sunni and the Shia population and the Sunni insurgency, but also Al Qaeda itself." GORDON BROWN

"People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there." OSAMA BIN LADEN

"Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda--worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was."
KEITH OLBERMANN

"Thinking such as your's is a cancer on our nation that needs to be cut out." MIKE posted 10/4/07 7:02PM

Cee and Sharon, you may be interested in this excerpt from an article about Justice Thomas:

"Natural theory and its relationship with the American founding figured prominently in dialogue between Thomas and the audience members. To better understand and appreciate the constitutional order sustaining American liberty told listeners that he would engage EEOC staffers familiar with the philosophical foundation of the Declaration of Independence.

Thomas would spend hours at a time with political theorists exploring and probing the writings of Thomas Jefferson. The revolutionary notion outlined in the Declaration of Independence that states "All men are created equal" and "are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights" has timeless implications, Thomas explained.

"We debated at length the implications of natural law thinking, and speculated on how it might apply to contemporary political discussion," he wrote in his memoirs. "These arguments stimulated my mind in a way that no discussion of current events could possibly hope to equal."

Its a fact that collinsworth despises him...
Yet I don't see any issues between Costas and KeithO though.

"Video: Krazy Keith talks torture, fascism and putting Bush in jail"


###
Ends with a great observation about throwing around terms like, "fascism,"

"Invisible fascism? That’s a neat trick, but it’s nonsense. Fascism is pointless if you can’t see it, or if it’s so insubstantial that you can just see right through it. Fascism, Keith, is one of those movements that produces a lot of very visible evidence. Nationalization of industry, like that going on in Venezuela. Goose-stepping minions, like that going on in Iran and what went on in Italy in the 1930s. Rounding up of political and journalistic opposition, like that going on in Russia. That’s fascism in one form or another.

"It’s unlike anything that’s going on in the United States.

"But by calling the Bush administration’s alleged fascism 'nearly invisible,' Olbermann has pulled off the neat trick (if you’re dumb enough not catch the sleight of hand) of not having to produce any evidence to back up what he’s saying. Because he can’t. Because there isn’t any. It’s as made up as a Jayson Blair quote or a New Republic fact-check.

"Not that any of that will matter to our friends on the left. The Olbermann fan club will nod and cheer at his bravery, they’ll pass around the clip and the link and live it up. They’ll bask in Olbermann’s bravery by proxy, smug that they’re standing up to the evil man and his minions in the White House. They’ll compare Tim Russert to Hitler for –gasp– asking tough questions of Hillary Clinton, the irony that their own mau mauing of Fox News and of journalists that they don’t like and talk show hosts that outwit them and their support for the Orwellian 'Fairness Doctrine,' the 'outing' of political opponents, the posting of home addresses and slashing of tires, the trashing of military recruiting stations, the desecration of military graves and the constant smears and so many more of the left’s more hard boiled actions more closely resemble fascist thug tactics than anything the Bush administration has done or will ever do.

"Those people doing those things are your people, Olbermann. You whip them into a 15-minutes hate with Special Comments like last night’s. They’re more likely to goose step on your command, pal, not George Bush’s."

So true....and don't forget about the spitting on Veterans......

"There were a few tense moments, however, including an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches and who said he was a corporal with the 82nd Airborne Division and lost his right leg below the knee in Ramadi, Iraq. Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration's policies in Iraq. Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back." NYT 1/28/07

GREAT link cee

My cousin played ball with Collinsworth and spent twenty minutes ripping the political hack on the phone two weeks ago.

But, you obviously don't watch the show... its apparent by their comments and body language.

Keith gets a few shots from New York Daily News columnist Bob Raissman (certainly no conservative) at the bottom of his TV sports column in Tuesday's paper:

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/col/raissman/index.html

The key section:

NBC's "Football Night In America" comes on the air at 7 p.m. So it must be hard for the crew to follow late games still in progress. Is this why Keith Olbermann called Pats-Colts "a great, classic football game." Classic? No way. ... In a move to promote energy conservation, NBC turned the lights off in the "FNIA" studio for a couple of minutes Sunday. Imagine how much energy - and hot air - could be saved if viewers hit the mute button every time Olbermann opened his mouth.

Put the KeithO rant on the table and compare it to the author's dissection of the rant, and tell me what side you come out on lemming?

You truly think that waterboarding of top terrorists is an example pushing this country towards fascism? If so, you are as pathetic as your opinions.

"Why" is his usual miserable self today yet with even more venom. Looks like the idiot ate up the Speshul Comment" last night and came out fighting after his marching orders...

Bravo lemming.... KeithO would be proud of you!

Oh well, don't expect mental midget to respond to the HOT AIR poster's conclusions about Olbermann's demogoguery in the use of the word, fascism. Is he not correct dear professor? Show me evidence that The United States of America has spiraled down into the den of evil totalitarianism....One piece of evidence?

Again....I need you to prove criminality on the part of George and Dick...not the other way around, mental midget. Olbermann has served his Kool-Aid and you are going for seconds!

Thanks John... I forgot how warm and fuzzy a moment it was when the lights were out in the studio....

Its the kind of dribble "Why" eats up.

Don't forget the little GREEN peacock in the left lower corner, how cute!....

But nevermind.....

The jet fuel it took to get dear anchors Lauer, Curry and Roker and their huge crews to their individual places thousands of mile away....

The energy of the lighting, heating and satelite transmission at those sites (two BELOW ZERO) to bring them all to 30 Rock....LIVE!

Oh, and don't forget the dozens of flat-screen HD sets on the set....Mmmm.....were not they still on?

Yeah...."green".....what a bunch of silliness.

NBC is going off the deep end!

And mental midget laps it all up like the leftist we all know him to be!

Benson:

"You truly think that waterboarding of top terrorists is and example of pushing this country towards fascism? If so, you are as pathetic as your opinions."

Waterboarding is a line that had been clearly drawn defining the definition of torture for many years....a line that America itself had readily accepted and even enforced until it supposedly no longer fit our own perceived interest anymore. Rejection of torture is a matter of PRINCIPLE. If you don't understand the importance of adhering to PRINCIPLE, then you will never understand this debate, nor will you understand Keith Olbermann's special comment.

Rejection of "cruel and unusual punishment" for ANY and ALL human beings is an American PRINCIPLE laid down by our own founders...with good reason. If you don't understand this, I pity you..... because you clearly lack any moral or ethical foundation within yourself.

That said, you don't have a clue who has and who hasn't been waterboarded....or why. That is all speculation and hearsay.

Thanks bunches, Damn Crackpot.

Don't forget the countless hours on the computer to change all the graphics to green for the entire family....

five minutes of darkness on the set can't offset the larger carbon footprint created. Even Nader scoffs.

Mike- the article points to the 3 admitted to.... yet you don't agree to Kalid's torture either? So there is the rub.

I have no problem torturing the heads of a terrorist network, especially in an effort to save other innocent lives.

I stand seperate from you on that point proudly. So pity away.

What a coincidence. The Daily show and Colbert Report go dark with the writers strike and Keith has a Specual Komment. Keith doesn't need to worry about a writers strike since Marxist Matters and MorON.org will not go on strike. Why did Keith chicken out an go with calling GW the Emperor of Japan? Why didn't he do the Hitler comparison? Is he afraid of getting another letter from the Anti-Defamation league? I didn't know that facist leaders allowed for people on national TV to call for their impeachment and arrest. Better let Hugo Chavez and A-Jad know.

"That said, you don't have a clue who has and who hasn't been waterboarded....or why. That is all speculation and hearsay."


###
Ah but Mike, neither do you...even in years past under different Presidents of different parties for different reasons....by the CIA in particular.....

This is the whole enchilada....the public discussion of techniques used by professional AMERICAN patriots sworn to protect life and liberty.....Democrats using inuendo and character assasination to advance their domestic political power....Olbermann no more believes this stuff as Kennedy or Durbin....these elites have an issue and you are dumb enough to believe they actually believe it! For Olbermann it is about getting people like you to watch his show....for Clinton et al it is fund raising and a committed vote in a year.

Mike, I really wonder how you can say those who support real action on the ground in defense of liberty and democracy are the cynics while the "debate club of no action," the leftist uling class, simply talks about these important issues without proof or penalty.

The cynics are the democrats....your leftist ruling class, who cry "torture" yet do nothing about stopping it....

Mukasey is going to be AG

Cheney and Bush remain in power and unindicted for war-crimes.

Funding for the war continues and will continue.

Benson:

"I have no problem torturing the heads of a terrorist network."

Then you also have no problem abandoning cherished American PRINCIPLES whenever you think the ends justify the means.

THAT is probably what the other poster meant regarding his reference to fascism. One you cross one line, it's easier to cross the next....and the next....and the next....until finally, you bear no resemblance to what you used to be. This is what America is doing to itself under the 'leadership' of GWB.

Selective adherence to PRINCIPLE! .... This is how every despot in history has justified their wrongful deeds.

In the end, PRINCIPLE is all we really have!

Too simple by a bunch, Benson. Virtually any military person and mots honest law enforcement people will readily tell you that information obtained under torture is virtually useless. Actually, we should have known that from the Spanish Inquisition. Of course, nothing is going to disuade you Right Wing gut chuckers. Excuse me if I don't join in your little perverted sado-masochistic binge. You guys haven't been right about anything for a couple of decades. No injuries so far from slips and falls on flower petals thrown by thankful Iraqis.

Mike claims that he voted for Bush in 2000 and yet he has no problem with Olbermann comparing President Bush to Emperor Tojo of Japan. I am having trouble believing Mike.

llarry- Kalid gave up TONS of information....
New York Times even admitted that it worked on him, so don't fall back on that tired line.

The right has totally lost the global warming argument, that's why they take pot shots like ie.using jet fuel to travel, lighting etc,
Posted by: Why do I stink at November 6, 2007 11:57 AM

Really, we have lost the issue? How about when Americans learn this little factoid?


According to energy expert Tracy Terry's analysis of a recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology study, under the scenario of an 80 percent reduction in emissions from 1990 levels, by 2015 Americans could be paying 30 percent more for natural gas in their homes and even more for electricity. At the same time, the cost of coal could quadruple and crude oil prices could rise by an additional $24 a barrel. Washington Post

Sorry, money talks, global warming walks.

Additionally Mike, the principles you feel are lost on the 'torture' of a few does not hold water with me.

I am POSITIVE a democrat as president would have also allowed the 'waterboarding' of Kalid, and I only hope you and Keith would have screamed just as loud. This is not a political tool as you libs like to make it, as the majority of americans have no problem with waterboarding top terrorists. 61%

I love how dummycrats get so upset over waterboarding terrorists - something that has never killed anyone - but think stabbing a child in the neck while it's being born is a right that needs to be protected at all costs. It proves they don't give a crap about human rights, just about protecting those who want to kill our soldiers.

I knew you were hopeless Meathead.

With all that information, I'm shocked we have not won the War of Terror, Shrub has not been made king and you, Dipshit and Cee are not prostrate before him clamoring to kiss his ass.

Really, use some sense for once.

Did anybody read the article in today's New York Times Media and Advertising Section? They claim (with Neilson Ratings statistic, in hand) that MSNBC is serving a ever-growing television market of Americans who think that the "wheels have come off" at Fox News. And the one TV personality that is leading this charge that may end up burying Fox News? One time Fox employee KEITH OLBERMANN!!

But is not just the New York Times. I've seen many other advertising industry studies and journal reports (the kind that car company execs and advertising firms read) that, based purely on market analysis, claim that Olbermann star is rising, and Fox is dying on the vine!! It is the dawn of a scary new day . . . seriously!! K O is becoming the Eward R. Murrow of the 21st century, and viewers are flocking to him.

What can be done???!!!!

Its funny I don't listen or watch Billo because it is my feeling that he is full of it and just a mouth for the Bush administration. I just don't waste my time with him. I know he is not going any where he has enough viewers to keep him on for years. I am not upset by his bs. Why do all of you people get so upset with Keith if you don't like what he says don't watch as with Bill he has his viewers and makes money and is not going any where. You all say that no one pays attention to him. But you all do.

My suggestion sit back relax untell the end of the world and if you can't stand watching Keith do your self a favor and don't. Life is to short to give your self a heart attack over someone who no one listens to lol.

NBC is having a "green" meltdown.

Mike has made it very clear that he made a mistake in voting for Bush. It takes a big man to admit mistakes.
That's why you are the king of the little people !
The Factor has been wrong about EVERYTHING...yet never a word of accountability.

How "big of a man" does it take to deny posting under several names, like both of you have done? Pathetic, to say the least.

But is not just the New York Times(LOL, they are almost bankrupt) . I've seen many other advertising industry studies and journal reports (the kind that car company execs and advertising firms read) that, based purely on market analysis, claim that Olbermann star is rising, and Fox is dying on the vine!!

Posted by: JayRay at November 6, 2007 12:54 PM

Keep dreaming, Fox News just made more in advertising revenue than CNN and MSDNC combined. No one reads the New York Slimes and I don't know what other funny papers you read, but Fox News is no trouble at all. Glenn Beck just got a 50 million dollar contract. If CNN were smart, they would put him on the mother ship against O'Reilly.

> all they can talk about are democrats and Bill Clinton.

Actually we want to talk about the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann, but people like you keep diverting the discussions to everything but. The only thing notable about this last post of yours is that it is one of the handful of your posts that isn't a cut-and-paste AND actually says something about Keith Oralmann.

As I have shown statistics and proof in the past that going "green" would create more jobs and opportunities for Americans and NOT be a financial burden on the country.
But your memory is short and nonexistent when it comes for FACTS that you don't want to hear.
Posted by: Why don't I think at November 6, 2007 12:28 PM

I just showed you facts from the Washington Post showing that the communist hoax of global warming will start soup lines in every city and you give Al Gore propaganda. The United States could eliminate every car on the road and remove every coal plant but what would it accomplish? Nothing. No temprature change and no halt to global warming. China and India would be laughing all the way to the bank while Americans starve in the streets. No thanks, I take "Global Warming".

It's great. It's great that Keith Olbermann now has so much power and influence that it forced someone to start this slanderous site. It's great that Olbermann makes Bush supporters and anti-Americans wet their pants. It's great that Olbermann scares the daylights out of dumb and confused people. It's great that those who hate democracy and free speech are so upset by Keith's success.

It's great that this site exists. It only proves how big Olbermann is and how his views are being heard by millions. If this weren't true, this site wouldn't be here and all of the wackos posting here would be using their time to do something else.

Please maintain this site and keep the nutty, hateful comments coming. It only helps Keith Olbermann and his supporters. He has more of them every day.

Factor...stop arousing mental midget....

Being blinded by his fanatic leftist Mother Earth religion makes it nearly impossible for him to see that Human Caused Glogal Climate Change theory is for the expressed purpose of ending capitalism and personal liberty......

And is also his distraction once again today here at OW....because he cannot face the present day....

Judge Mukasey clears committee easily, and with bipartisan support......11-8!.....

Oh no....what is the fringe anti-American left and Olbermann going to do now?.....

Spit and hyperventalate?

What about that impeachment resolution?

What about that Iraq War funding?

It is turning out to be a taunting day.....

STOP THE WAR.....CUT THE FUNDS NOW!
STOP THE CRIMINALS.....IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!

And this is my post today, the 1,651st day since the declaration of Mission Accomplished in Iraq.....

I am cee, good night and good luck.

"I'd tell you that the Democrats are talking a good game, but they're not even doing that. Everybody in Congress has to understand something: If they continue to fund this war, it's not just the President who owns it. They own it, too." Sgt. Liam Madden

"There were a few tense moments, however, including an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches and who said he was a corporal with the 82nd Airborne Division and lost his right leg below the knee in Ramadi, Iraq. Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration's policies in Iraq. Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back." NYT 1/28/07

"I think the Vietnamese are better off in Vietnam," George McGovern - NEWSWEEK

"Lefties: Leave these pathetic drowning rats alone to stew in each other's juices. Get yourselves out in the street and fight this criminal administration in ways that really mean something, and that are noted by more than a handful of keyboard heroes!" Sir Loin of Beef

"American liberals need to face these truths: The demand for self-government was and remains strong in Iraq despite all our mistakes and the violent efforts of al Qaeda, Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias to disrupt it." DEMOCRAT Bob Kerrey

"If we end up saying that because these people are committing these acts of terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan, that we shouldn't have done the removal of Saddam or the removal of the Taliban, then we are making a fundamental mistake about our own future, about security, about the values we should be defending in the world." TONY BLAIR

"You can't bring the troops home if you give George Bush $100 billion to wage this war. You're not supporting them. You're keeping them in harm's way." CINDY SHEEHAN

"There is no doubt ... that Al Qaeda is operating in Iraq. There is no doubt that we've had to take very strong measures against them. And there is no doubt that the Iraqi security forces have got to be strong enough to be able to withstand not just the violence that has been between the Sunni and the Shia population and the Sunni insurgency, but also Al Qaeda itself." GORDON BROWN

"People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there." OSAMA BIN LADEN

"Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda--worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was."
KEITH OLBERMANN

"Thinking such as your's is a cancer on our nation that needs to be cut out." MIKE posted 10/4/07 7:02PM

Just for the record, which communist country did the info on global warming get its start ?
Posted by: Why don't I think at November 6, 2007 1:45 PM

California

Fruit loops are here!

"They waterboard "suspected" terrorists who are never charged and then released."

What freak conspiracy website do you pull this crap from?
Try debating with facts rather than KeithO propaganda.

This site pulls the loons from everywhere.

WHY has drank the koolaid...
NBC is going straight down the toilet and he thinks it is a great media revolution. Stagnant ratings this year have proven that their liberal aganda is heading down the same desperate road that Air America meandered down.

KeithO will remain the figurehead of a third place news network... and only idiots like you will watch as it becomes more and more marginalized. The ratings are dropping.

And bringing in (9-11 was an inside job) Rosie to boister your network's credibility is a perfect example of how pathetic you, Olbermann and MSNBC has become.

Why- simply name the ones that have been waterboarded.
You brought to light the assinine statement.

Good stuff for your ignorant eyes WHY.


http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/03/confessions_of_.html

An ABC documentation of an "innocent" terrorist that was waterboarding into confessing to murdering thousands! Complete with a PDF of the confession.

Get out of the closet.... name the waterboarded terrorists you are defending... its your idiotic game.

Oh well, mental midget, 100% of the godless left were sure about eugenics when it was fact and look where that science went.

I am a scientist and deal with cause and effect everyday....NO ONE has proven a cause/effect relationship between man's behavior and global climate changes...no one....Other very rational and proven influences can change the climate....there is only correlation between recent temperatures and CO2 levels....correlation does not prove cause.

The calamity predicted cannot be guaranteed nor can any scientist say with certainty that the modest changes in CO2 that would be achieved even in the most agressive programs will result in stopping the calamities predicted.

One needs more faith in Human caused Clobal Climate Change than was needed to believe in eugenics....The mixing of the scientific/governmental/ideological/religious is a dangerous thing and you show us all of this in spades, mental midget!

I also remember something about the seperation of church and state, and the way this debate is headed, "clogal warming is a moral issue!" you leftists may have a problem.

Oh how easy it is to see flawed human nature go down another dead end....just like eugenics.

I have posted this before and will end with it again....a rational view of what the religious left is doing, once again, to inspire fear to advance their agenda....

http://www-eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen/180_Eugenics.pdf

I agree with the global warming guys...the earth's temperature should stay the same
