    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    November 27, 2007
    Countdown with Keith Olbermann - November 27th, 2007

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

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • POLITICS OF WAR AND PEACE: Richard Wolffe, Newsweek chief White House correspondent
    • PRES. BUSH AND STATE SECRETS: Jonathan Turley, George Washington University law professor
    • “WHO IS NORMAN LLOYD”: Norman Lloyd, actor and producer

    President Bush flubs some names which means he wasn't really involved in the Middle East peace summit in Annapolis, MD, declares Der Fuhrer. Karl Rove "rewriting history" claiming that the Gulf War was "congress' war!" Zing! He's lying! Obviously. Spy games or something. Olbsession Bill-O attacked again for coming down on a vehemently anti American film while the network sells ad space for the movie (as if Bill ran the advertising department?). Laura Schlessinger too. Oh and Norman Lloyd. Another whiney night of the ferocious Keith Oralmann.

    Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly book Culture Warrior

    #5: 343 days until the next Presidential election. Thanks for the heads up, Fat Ass. I bet you've got it marked V-C day on your Calendar for Victory for Clinton. Mispronunciations are not the faux pas only of the dummy, supposedly. Not that Keith has ever mispronounced anything. Never. Ever. Like, last week. The President had a "cameo" at the peace conference in Annapolis. Olby, ever trying to demonstrate his superiority and his alpha male status, pronounces the two leaders' (Israel and the PLO) names correctly. Congratulations. Do you want a cookie? Maybe a bottle of merlot? I've got some really fancy merlot that cost me a hair more than pocket lint. Of course, this was all about a photo op. Wolffie makes a joke as he slides, mispronouncing Olbersturmfuhrer's name. Wolffe, probably unappreciated on OlbyPlanet, actually praises President Bush (before criticizing him) for engaging the peace process while declaring there had never been any involvement before. Some yammering about how the President isn't really involved, isn't doing hard work or something. WSJ cited by Olby. Great thanks. Whatever.

    Karl Rove, aka Machiavelli [Ding!], "blames congress" for authorizing the war in Iraq. The Huff and Puff blows its way in to help Herr Olbermann out. Karl Rove's comments are the work of a "shameless, remorseless perhaps soulless political animal." Easy there, tiger. It's all about money, speaking engagements, etc. George Orwell and 1984 references referenced! [Ding!][Ding!] Eric Blair (George Orwell) should be suing Olby for copyright violations, says Jabba himself. "Is this not 1984?" [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] The bell broke. Even if Rove told the truth, he's still lying!

    #4: The most yawn inducing segment with the ever dramatic Jonathan Turley. Snoooozzzeeeee. A "top Republican", Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), is trying to stop the President from being able to do eeeevil secret things. Monkeys will fly out of the President's butt, apparently. Turley mentions his involvement in the "Area 51" case; oh that one! Right. Ever important. Judges are afraid. Of what, we do not know. No wait, they're lazy. Area 51. Reynolds. Lie. Privilege. New York Times. Supreme Court does not understand Turley's brilliance. Punish Alberto Gonzales! It's "rather clear" what the President ordered is a "federal crime." Turley has a wish, he wants to put the genie back in the bottle in terms of the "privilege." Great thanks and it was "most harrowing."

    #3: All consuming Olbsession O'Reilly time. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Bill O'Reilly "attacking the USO." O'Reilly, unlike Olbermann, left his desk and went to Afghanistan. Do you know how many stories Olbermann has done outside of his office? Guess? Any? None! Zing! Oralmann needs to after "right wing" Laura Schlessinger. Is "O'Reilly drunk?" "He sounds drunk!" Lay off the bloody Merlot! Keith "Chicken and Waffles" Olbermann went on to highlight O'Reilly's entire show. You wonder why his ratings are up? Olby's? Well, there.....uh......limp. O'Reilly also wanted to kick Mark Cuban "in the basketballs!" HA! Penis/Testicle joke! I love those. I wonder what Katy thinks of them. More nonsense. Nothing to see here. Murdoch, Fox Noise [Ding!, O'Reilly, care only about the money. Not the troop.

    #2: Keeping Tabs. Ouch. Politicians getting celebrity endorsements. HOLD THE MERLOT! WHAT IS THIS! KEITH, ARE YOU CONCERNED ONLY ABOUT THE MONEY? After drooling at the thought of reading Sen. Kennedy's memoirs which Mr. Kennedy will get millions for, out pops Fat Ass's book! You know, the one that he didn't write and is merely a compilation of all his Speshul Reeducation Komments.

    #1: Norman Lloyd. They argue over who has admired whom longer. Vomit.

    In the Media Maters minute, FBN for putting on the air an "online shopper" who was in fact an employee of the National Retail Federation. The NRF blamed fox, so did Olby. Naturally. Silver: FEMA for having a ringer (employee) as a questioner at another news conference (source: AP). Gold: Republican (obs) Mitt Romney! Would he put a muslim in his cabinet? Who knows, who cares? They do in loony tune land. Talking Points Memo.

    NAME

    Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's went through the roof to #24,365 at amazon.com, but "Culture Warrior" is #7,749. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome crated at #134,674 at Barnes and Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,727 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. Reliable numbers for Monday's hour of spin were unavailable, but you can rest easy believing O'Reilly walloped him. Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 2 [LOW]

    Typical peice of shit from Keith.

    I have never seen someone so obsessed with someone as Keith is with Bill. I think it really is some serious man love that is not being returned and its driving Keith crazy.

    I know I spelled piece wrong.....

    Keith is still a jackass.

    Keith's Bill obsession is spooky
    Psychiatrists will tell you Keith's kooky
    When Keith's on the set
    Bad ratings they'll get
    They're booing and not chanting "Mookie"

    I guess Olbermann has given up making O'Reilly WPITW and is now just going to devote a special segment to him each night. O'Reilly did the unspeakable. He showed his appreciation for the troops. How dare he. If Olbermann is so popular with the troops, why doesn't he venture out of his studio and grace them with his presence? None of the zombies, who defend Olbermann on this site, will defend this.

    'Redacted' continues to bomb. No pun intended, of course. Has Olbyonesidedkanoby mentioned this fact?

    It will do well in Sadi Arabia, UAE, Iran, and Pakistan. That will help Olbermann's cause.

    One criticism of Keith: Bush did butcher Olmert's name, but Keith has some hearing problems if he really thinks Bush pronounced it "Elmo." It would be funny and all over YouTube if it were true but it's not. Bush's pronounciation was more like "Ohmut" or "Ohmur."

    One criticism of ESchatz: Karl Rove was rewriting history on Charlie Rose - I saw the interview live - about the CURRENT Iraq War, not the GULF WAR. He was specifically telling Rose that the Bush administration was against even having an Iraq War Resolution bill so close to the midterms. I knew that was BS and couldn't stop laughing for a full minute. Keith even showed at quote from WHITEHOUSE.GOV press releases saying the Bush administration sought and approved that October 2002 war bill.

    Actually Troll, I like Michael Moore. We need more like him. I would prefer that he shave and dress a little more 'conservative' while pointing out conservative hypocrisy though.

    Seen "Sicko" yet? Devastating to the corporatocracy.

    Posted by: Sir Loin of Beef at August 8, 2007 4:18 PM

    * "showed and quoted from Whitehouse.gov" documents I meant to say.

    Factor, I do think you underestimate our dear loons with this statement:

    "None of the zombies, who defend Olbermann on this site, will defend this."

    I have no doubt that at least one will crawl out from the woodwork and try to while casting aspersions against us all.

    Grammie

    ya know, after watching wolfie again tonite, he just kinda reminds me of the great kazoo on the jetsons. it's the head. nothing personal. MSN-BS

    Olbermanns obsession with Oreilly and Foxnews is unhealthy. THis means either he is a viewer like the millions of us or he just cant get over that 500,ooo viewer ceiling. I think his book only sold 3000 copies which is funny, and his NBC NFL appearance has lost viewers for NBC... when will GE say uncle.

    Truthguys, I know you apparently can't stand Keith, but nobody cares about his halftime shtick on the Sunday night NFL show or his score rundowns. Where's the proof that HIS appearance is bringing the show down?

    The whole presentation of the show itself, with Bob Costas and Keith at one table and Tiki Barber and others separated from them is awkward and the show itself is not as exciting as say, Chris Berman's ESPN show. But he can be annoying too.

    At least Keith's halftime segment is SOMEWHAT entertaining, comparatively speaking, though not always accurate. Example, his most recent weekly "Worst Person" rant was misguided in criticizing Denver's punter Todd Sauerbrun for punting to the Bear's ace return man Devin Hester, who returned two kicks for TDs to help the Bears beat Denver on Sunday.

    His rant should've been directed at Denver head coach Mike Shanahan since HE made the decision to keep kicking the ball to Hester, not Sauerbrun.

    Chris Collinsworth nominated Sauerbrun for the segment, so he is to blame too. But the segment, misguided as it turned out, was pretty funny and entertaining at the time.

    "In the Media Maters [sic] minute, FBN for putting on the air an "online shopper" who was in fact an employee of the National Retail Federation."

    ESchatz, the left-wing echo chamber (MMFA->Countdown) took a night off this night. Also, there have been no MMFA items on FBN since October 12. I'm just sayin'.

    Don't worry about the spelling TJ. Only these liberal spelling Nazis would even acknowledge it. They can't argue the real merits or substance on anything so they pick at any little think their Simple SImon brains can react to.


    Olby's attacks on O'Reilly and FNC just shows their dep seated fears and envy. Olby knows a better man when he sees one. It comes witht he territory. Just as the world doesn't back us because we are the sole remaining superpower. And like GW and O'Reilly, real men with class, honor and dignity, they don't acknowledge anyting these pussies puke out of their mouths. And, I could care less what the rest of the world thinks about us, FUCK'EM.

    "One criticism of Keith: Bush did butcher Olmert's name"

    END QUOTE

    Just one Chuck? Olby is just another piece of shit sitting up in his Ivory Tower looking down on the rest of us and opens his big, no. 2 wash tubbed mouth when someone slips (only Republicans and anyone of Faith).

    His remark about the "Three Six Pix" was one of the biggest blown gaffs I've heard mainly because Olby has never been an athlete. Not in elementary, not HS and damn sure not in college. The only physical contact he ever participated was wrestling his only buddy in highschool while he struggled with the question of why little girls laughed at him or if he was gay, cough, cough, a faggot.

    "LORETTA"
    Another loser fan AND obviously
    Loretta's vibrator fell on the return key.

    Hey everybody! We know have a good idea of A N O N Y M O U S' physical description based on the demographic of the person willing to pay $8.00 for REDACTED.....

    5' 8" 245 lb, 46 inch waisted white male with goatee and pony tail...gray hair and receeding hairline. Usually greasy in appearance.

    He usually wears stained Birkenstocks (without socks), faded blue jeans and T-Shirt which frequently has the faded iron on print, "SWIFTBOAT THIS!"

    Never grins except at APPLE commercials. Teeth are yellow.

    No jewelry, (especially a wedding band).

    Anyone want to provide his local "looking for love!" newspaper "personal ad?"

    Lying administration....
    Hw about your boy Clinton's stump speech yesterday asserting that he has always been against the Iraq war. And the next 24 hours was filled with direct quotes from the former president in SUPPORT of the Iraq invasion. Thats a typical Clinton flip-flop.

    Is he a liar or just plain delusional like Olbermann?

    Spare me your 'lying' rhetoric. Its tired.

    What's really amusing is that the Clinton thing was front and center on HuffPost last night but has now been placed in a nondescript location on the website after nearly 1,000 posts decried HuffPost for making "their" side look bad. Well their side DOES look bad when Clinton gets caught lying yet again.

    And Cee? Uh uh. Guarantee you that dear A N O N Y M O U S is another of Olbermann's middle-aged (single) groupies. Note the intense hatred for married women with kids, note the rage against the Christmas season. Bitter--Party of One?

    "I supported the president when he asked for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Former President Bill Clinton 5/19/2003


    ###
    What does the old cliche say....Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan?......

    The anti-war left's continued drive to prematurely withdraw against the fight for freedom on religion and thought in Iraq makes poor ol' Clinton lie.....What a shame!

    He and his wife gotta keep the kooks happy if they want that nomination.....Too bad there are their own words and actions at the beginning of The Iraq War to show us all how quickly they will lie to try to seem agreeable....

    Oh well..."back to the future" will inculde such lies I suppose.

    STOP THE WAR!.....CUT THE FUNDS NOW!....

    And this is my post today, the 1,673rd 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

    Could it be that he knew well that this sort of message would find an audience among those with a particular political viewpoint, and particular and highly prized pretensions, and a particular and deep disdain and contempt for average Americans, to the point that any shlock he turned out would be excused and deemed as an artistic diamond in the rough, as long as it confirmed the self-satisfied opinions of this oh-so-self-important close-minded set?

    Yep.

    Cecelia was right about you.

    Posted by: A N O N Y M O U S at November 28, 2007 10:46 AM

    I'm also right about you, Capon

    our review of my review, since it appears you have not seen the film, Cecelia, lacks the nuance the film itself. I actually think you might find watching the film a useful, albeit not enjoyable experience. It's always difficult to define the artist's intent, but I believe the artist wanted us to be troubled, to be asking questions. Certainly, that was the effect the film had on me. I am sure there was no effort to confirm existing prejudices, if you will. If so, the film failed miserably.

    Oh, I have no objections to seeing the film, Capon, and I certainly based my remarks upon your "review" of it.

    I'm quite sure I'll be far far less "troubled" by any argument, accusation, or implication in the film, than I am by your review and what it implied about you.

    Why would anyone go see such a universally panned film unless they were willing to accept the propoganda it promises to deliver?

    Spending 8 bucks and wasting two hours on critically deemed 'junk' just shows you either have too much time on your hands, or are anxious to embrace the notion that our troops are animals.

    Lets not be pure, and think that all our troops are saints. But any film that paints them with a broad brush as rapists and murders should do poorly within the US. And any american that does piss away 8 bucks on this waste of time, can claim to be open minded, but is merely a anti-american zealot.

    You'd have more of a leg to stand on if the movie had ANY redeeming characteristics. Unfortunatley, you choose to go even though nearly all early reviews panned it's writing, storyline, acting, directing, and cinematography. Shame.

    Every eight dollars spent- Mark Cuban sees as an endorsement of his anti-US viewpoint. Bravo!

    Don't forget, A N O N Y M O U S self-rightously proclaimed his distaste in the commercialization of the holiday so he has many options to spend those hard earned dollars....

    It is likely after the deep meditation on Christmas Day Michael Moore's latest will be placed in the DVD player.

    ONLY $14.95.....MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

    Well, it is certainly an easy route to avoid dealing with difficult issues, Cecelia. I am pleased you could find a target for your customary and gratuitous slaps.

    Posted by: A N O N Y M O U S at November 28, 2007 11:20 AM


    Customary but never gratuitous, Capon.

    You REALLY earn it...

    I'm no great reviewer, but at least I have enough sense and integrity to go beyond some gut eruption in looking at the film.


    Posted by: A N O N Y M O U S at November 28, 2007 8:37 AM


    One thing is for sure, you had the whole theatre to yourself.

    Easy way out?

    It was panned... I love James Bond but boycotted "The Living Daylights" because the critics called it the worst 007 movie ever.

    So wasting the money and time on a poorly made politcally driven movie is assinine. Even if it does jibe with our viewpoints.

    I instantly thought of FLUCKER when I saw this review at Rotten Tomatoes "But De Palma has taken all of this one step further -- with Redacted he has created war porn for the cognoscenti." by Paul Brenner @ Filmcritic.com.

    There is no doubt that FLUCKER is part of the cognoscenti because he strains to tell us every day, and sometimes more often, that he is.

    Grammie

    WHY- do you go to all movies that get universal bad reviews or just the ones that reinforce your politics?

    Simple question that proves alot about your mindset.

    "...you can tell that culture is only one area that is severely lacking in their lives."


    ###
    This coming from the guy who is proud to proclaim that Bruce Sprigsteen always makes him cry.....

    mental midget.....the paragon of high-brow culture!

    It is the best movie about the middle east since 'Ishtar'.

    And you idiots are too stupid to see it.

    Part and parcel of Bobo's approach to life. If he thinks it, likes it and/or enjoys something those who don't share his opinion/viewpoint are morally, intellectually and culturally deprived.

    A true man of the people, our Bobo, as long as he doesn't have to get too close and everyone kowtows in awe inspired obedience to BOBO!

    Grammie

    It seems that De Palma is no longer considered a great director until he makes another movie to cover up this pile of shit that you love to defend. Google the reviews.

    Even the liberals critics are having trouble finding redeeming characteristics of "redaction". They love the message.

    When Mr. dePalma makes an engaging film about the events surrounding one of the thousands of random beheadings in Iraq (perhaps one about an American soldier's body desicration...that should be petty easy to dramatize as well) and the morality and justice surrounding those acts of evil, I will give his REDACTED equal time....

    You see leftist twits, the people (American soldiers) responsible for the CRIME Mr. dePalma dramatized in REDACTED were brought to justice under law.....No leftist in Hollywood, on this board (I am looking at you mental midget and anon with spaces), or in the elite academic community seem to care about those much more abundant crimes against humanity that have remained unpunished....Instead the 1 in the 1:thousands gets the attention because it fits the pathetic leftist anti-war ideology.

    How about a film about the justice given to the headless or mutilated after execution, gents?....How about it?

    What do you say to the families who's children or spouses come home missing body parts because some radical islamist demanded justice in a little hut somewhere, anonymously?

    I think that would make a GREAT film!

    FLUCKER, temper, temper, temper.

    You know you have a problem with that because you don't suffer fools gladly, or so you said.

    It is your curse in life that you are that which you despise and there is no escaping yourself.

    I only mention this because I want to help you find a way, especially during this liturgical season, to help you cope with the burden you carry without lashing out at everyone else.

    Grammie

    Any film that paints men and women who volunteer to serve their country as violent uneducated racists in an attempt to foment hatred overseas is not worthy of anyone's money that lives in this country. Anyone who enjoys this movie does not just hate the administration or its policy, they hate their fellow man. There is a stark difference between making a film against American policy and making a Josef Goebbels style propaganda film that paints a bulls eye on our soldiers. I don't kneed to watch a snuff film to know it is not worth watching.

    Ah the college professor and students are smart theory-

    Never met a college kid that thought they knew more about life than a college grad? Reality is the best teacher of students. Not class load.

    Anyone that saw redacted is an idiot. That is the new litmus test. They tell you it sucks on all levels and you spent two hours on it anyways. Maybe the "Bee Movie" was sold out?

    Amen Factor....

    and mental midget....We know accents other than New England's Ted Kenedy's make the leftist twitch in agony, but I assure you, holding simple mistakes like pronouncing a name differently than is usually acceptable is a common flub that is frequent even among the elite in Boston or New York.....Was it not the fine Senator Kennedy himself who kept calling his collegue from Chicago, "Osama?"

    The Texan in The White House seems to be doing just fine against your leftist ruling elite, dear mental midget....even with his limited pronouncing abilities....

    Bush seems to have no prblem saying the words....."IRAQ WAR FUNDING!"

    STOP THE WAR!.....CUT THE FUNDS NOW!....

    And this is my post today, the 1,673rd 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

    There you go again.

    Try to turn your thoughts and soul to the message of this liturgical season to help you through those time when you lapse into ad hominems and become so flustered that you double post.

    Grammie

    KO is a one trick pony. Without O'Reilly, his life would lose all meaning.

    BTW, which democratic candidate is Keith endorsing?

    Hey Grammie....don't worry, the self-rightous man will make up for it all on St. Stephen's day....

    Try alittle bit harder poster at 12:34PM.....My point is that the dramatization of the "characters" in the horrific crime fit the stereotypes of the anti-American left.....and oh yes....it also fits the stereotypes of the islamic fundamentalist....

    Like I challenged....there are THOUSANDS of stories of "no judge or jury" beheadings in Iraq to that one story of rape and murder (that was punished under law)....Why no dramatization of one of thousands, dear pster at 12:34PM?....

    Does it not make good propaganda for the anti-American and vapid left?

    I was actually thinking of you last night. I opened a can of marinated onions that had gone bad. White, wrinkly, smelly.

    Cee, would you think that our resident cognoscenti, FLUCKER, being such a widely traveled renaissance man will celebrate on Dec 26 or Dec 27?

    How foolish of me. Of course, our extraordinarily pious FLUCKER will take advantage of the opportunity to worship and contemplate in both rites.

    Especially when you open your trap!

    Money raised on top of those costs can be spent on advertising and voter turnout. But when fundraising falls below burn rate, a campaign could go under unless drastic measures are taken.

    Posted by: at November 28, 2007 12:50 PM

    Okay, then... how many Asian busboys donating 25K do you think we need?

    Mmm, a simplistic and vapid post at 12:45PM to go along with the ideology.....

    Trouble fundraising?....another side-show to make the partisans feel good....No bad news from Iraq but something has to make the mind-numbing zoombies feel good.

    The Republican Presidential candidates are doing very well in their fundraising and the polls are competitive even with the "brand" being so damaged according to the kos kids....

    Oh and where is much of the money for the left's ruling elite's candidate coming from?....

    Industries that are simply looking out for their best interests....

    Politics as usual and yet another aspect of the hypocricy of the vapid anti-American left.

    Oh and the "wrong direction" mantra....tell that to Ms. Clinton who is part of the established leadership now for over 15 years but yet tries to sell herself as "change."

    We will see in Iowa if that lie gets past the dim-witted democrat caucus goers.

    Bobo, Cecelia nailed you.

    Your only defense is a spelling lesson and a very personal attack.

    You got nothing, Bobo, except venom.

    Posted by: at November 28, 2007 12:34 PM

    This film is far from "reality". This film attempts to hype a single tragic incident into an indictment of all military personnel. There are bad people in all walks of life of life. Would you see a film that takes horrible crime committed by one of your liberal sacred cows and hangs it around the neck of an entire group? I think not.

    You are about as isolated in what America is thinking as you are typing away on your computer in your little office rather than using that time to educate yourself on new medical findings to help your patients.

    Bobo, "Thanks Patsy" is nothing more or less than the only reasonable one can make to Patsy's tripe.

    Of course with your superior intellect and sophistication you could no doubt engage Patsy in some fascinating exchanges.

    Let me give you a chance. Patsy said:

    "Vampiria makes a Bovine out of herself, followed by Hag-zilla.

    And now BovineQueen wants to keep embarrassing them.

    Bobo, I am too dull to sift out the finer points that Patsy made here. Most of his comments follow this pattern. I don't have your incisive analytical skills to made intelligent comments to Patsy so I simply follow RK's lead and tell our one trick pony "thanks"

    Why don't you whip out an outline pointing out the finer intellectual points that Patsy made and I will engage him on this when he returns.

    Let Capon's example be a guide for you. He may think he's better than the average middle class mom, wouldn't want to be seen with her and will even use her as a highly contemptuous and negative reference on a blogboard... but he wishes her and others who don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare (such as HIMSELF...) taxpayer subsidized health care...

    (2) Not plump mothers of 2.4 children who have never picked up a tennis racket but are wearing cheap, gauche tennis skirts, driving Suburbans with faded "W" stickers they can no longer fill up, chatting mindlessly on their cellphones whilst driving dumb and plump tone deaf, clumsy children with dazzling white teeth to violin and dance lessons.

    (3) Not people maxing-out their credit cards buying cheap, useless crap for the holidays.
