Countdown with Keith Olbermann - December 28, 2007

Bathtub Boy

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

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

  • Best of Special Education Komments


Special Komments that don't rate a ten,
Are the faves of extremist madmen.
Thinkers know that they're crap,
But loons thrive on claptrap,
So they're running them over again!

Wow! His numbers sucked!

If I were a drinker, I would have proposed that we have a Speshul Komments drinking game. You would have to drink every time Olby barked "Mr. Bush", "sir" and "un-American". I think someone might have suggested this already.

A few belts would help viewers deal with these miserable, whining, defeatocrat lefty diatribes, that's for sure.

A comment from the live blog fan site for tonight's CD:

"Keith's on but the sound is off."

So these special comments are so riveting they watch them while hitting the mute button? Too funny.

He just about crossed his eyes when he had to switch cameras too quickly. And these comments are poorly written, he's a parody of himself.

Oh, and Keith, get a thesaurus and look up "extraordinary" - try a synonym to avoid repetition. That goes for your nightly script, too.

Why is he yelling at the camera? Is he losing his hearing in his old age?

He's a grouchy old "bear". Is that why Katy calls him bear?

Wonder why Katy calls him "Bear"? Do they act out Goldilocks in the new Trump apartment?
"Who's been sleeping in my bed?"

Does anyone remember KO recently comparing GWB waving a paper, and I can't remember what the paper was about, to Chamberlain waving the Peace in Our Time agreement with Hitler.

Grammie

If you play Keith Olbermann's Specual Komments backwards, it sounds like Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon". If you play them backwards and watch the "Wizard of Oz" it matches the scenes perfectly.

Tried to register on the Keith Olbermann message boards (what a joke) and it said "creating a new account is currently not possible." Too many dissenters, I guess. Debate doesn't exist in Olbermannland. It's always 1984 there. Even O'Reilly welcomes the opposition on his show, but not Keithy. The words despicable and coward come to mind.

The few minutes I surfed in for, his face was so red I thought his head was going to explode. He was talking about Rudy's comments regarding GOP vs. Democrats on terror. Keith called it terrorism (I guess that means Rudy is a terrorist) to suggest that one party is better for National Security than another, then proceeded to tick off a few items that he thought showed the GOP is not superior on counter-terrorism. tsk tsk Keith

The words despicable and coward come to mind.

Precisely.

I'm sure the olbyloons have it on tevo and watch it regularly, Janet. Although, they will never admit it, as proven by philby.

The only people I know who do are lonely RW'ers whose only purpose in life is to bitch, moan and pop Viagra.

Posted by: A N O N Y M O U S at December 29, 2007 12:12 AM


You mean, 'mike,' patsy, slob, etc? Do you talk about all of your friends that way?

"Does anyone remember KO recently comparing GWB waving a paper, and I can't remember what the paper was about, to Chamberlain waving the Peace in Our Time agreement with Hitler."

Tonight he was comparing Chamberlain's Munich agreement to the Democrats giving in to President Bush on funding the War back in May. Is that what you're referring to? I agree with Bathtub Boy that the feckless Defeatocrats are the Chamberlains of our time because of their desire to appease the enemy; although they also remind me of another famous WWII-era figure: Vidkun Quisling.

Rick, I will look into that. I think, though, it was something else.

My memory is not what it used to be, more's the pity.

I read it and moved on and then it came to me that KO had railed against Secretary Rumsfeld b/c he compared those who oppose the War on Terror to Chambelain and his ilk and KO was doing the same thing now b/c it suited his agenda.

Grammie

Here's an idea. Let me replay special comments that have all been proven lies and exaggerations because I have to sell this book that isn't selling. Let me make a fool of myself because I have a fat ass and young girlfriend who hasn't had an orgasm in two years.

Janet @ 2:17: "I read it and moved on and then it came to me that KO had railed against because he compared those who oppose the war on terror to Chamberlain and his ilk and KO was doing the same thing now because it suited his agenda."

MULTIPLE answers to that one Janet.

1) - To begin with, one could argue that turnabout is fair play once you choose to open Pandora's box.

2) - KO DOESN'T oppose the war on terror. He opposes the war in Iraq....and they are emphatically NOT one and the same.

3) - Donald Rumsfeld was a high level US Government Official who was selfishly and shamelessly questioning the patriotism of Americans who questioned his and his boss's policies. KO is a political pundit who's JOB it is to question dubious and controversial government policies.

With his ratings circling the drain
Keith pulls out the same sad refrain
Speshul Komment repeat
More lies and deceit
Pull his string and he'll say it again

Excellent job as always, Mama Bear Katy, or do you mean "Baby Bear Katy"

Wow, some people have a heavy obsession with Olbermann's love life.
Are you sure you aren't one of his jealous fangirls?

hmm.. considering the olberman watch shows little actual contradictions in Keith's hour show, can it be assumed that most of what he says is really true? This blog ranks him as a left loon, but unlike his program, they don't show many moments

I personally like Keith Olbermann, because his logic is very basic, and from all the news reports on all network, something is appearantly wrong with Bush's administration. Unless 75% of the population is wrong for thinking that..

there's something else..

Special Komments that don't rate a ten, Are the faves of extremist madmen. Thinkers know that they're crap, But loons thrive on claptrap, So they're running them over again!

exactly, how does anyone really 'know' what kind of people watch his show? The audience can range from reasonable people to paranoid. With more pepole watching the show.. people are becoming nutter?

Pawsie - "his logic is very basic" as in the lowest form? appealing to emotion and not necesarily based on fact? Yep, you've nailed it.

One can dislike Bush and KO at the same time. Olbermann is a blowhard and a hypocrite. Try watching for a while and a smart person like you will be able to discern it. And the limerics are for humor so you can scroll right by them.
In fact, if you want to visit a place with no negative comments about KO, you should head for one of the fan boards where no criticism is allowed. Try ERT, KOEB, or KO.org. You'll feel at home there sharing your KO love. Not being mean, just saying you're not going to be changing anyone's mind here.

I missed his "Worst Person In The World" in the last few days.

Maybe he will fill another hour with repeating those. This egotistical blowhard likes to hear his own voice.

>Wow, some people have a heavy obsession with Olbermann's love life.
Are you sure you aren't one of his jealous fangirls?

no, lol, just a poetry lover and a smartass

2) - KO DOESN'T oppose the war on terror.

postd by 'mike'

You know this, how?

> 2) - KO DOESN'T oppose the war on terror.

Right. That's why he calls it the "so-called" war on terror. He doesn't just oppose it, he doesn't believe it exists!

> selfishly and shamelessly questioning the patriotism of Americans

But somehow when Keith shamelessly questions the patriotism of Americans, that's not only permissible, it's brilliant Edward R Murrow-caliber "journalism". More Olbypologist hypocrisy.

No, Mrs. Hawkins, but we are looking forward to your memoirs, particularly the chapters when you describe your experiences watching Lucky Lindy landing in Paris and Chamberlain returning from Munich.

LOL funny!

Bear!?! Why in the world would you want everyone to know your pet name from your girlfriend. This is not normal. No wonder they kicked his ass off ESPN, what a serious pussy.

so true...

Posted by: I just puked in my mouth at December 27, 2007 6:49 PM


Too bad he didn't mention his pet name for her. God, I hope they don't play dress up.

I wish the guys on FBiA would pick up on this. If Cris's Tab crush is fair game for KO, then talking about Bear should be on the players' table.

That would be pretty funny to hear Cris Collinsworth say, "Back you to Bear"

or better yet, Costas, "and now with the Bears Saints highlights, Bear Olbermann..."

I just wanted to let you all know, that The Daily Kos, Crooks & Liars, The Clinton (Crime) Family and my hot piece of 20-something ass are all more important to thank than my own parents...got it! Bear

Crooks and Liars should be about ALL THINGS CLINTON.
BTW, isn't odd he didn't thank Hillary Clinton's Media Matters...

I pray Hillary doesn't get the nomination (for obvious reasons) but also just to see "Bear" piss is pants every night on Countdown.

Thanks, coward!

Good idea, Pete. I would love to see Cris burn Olby yet again.

What fun to point out !
Posted by: at December 29, 2007 4:30 PM

even better when YOU point out how stupid YOU are...do you watch SNF? Costa & Collinsworth are burning him weekly...try taking off your olby-lover glasses and have a look. idiot.

Check out the interview of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIO8B6fpFSQ Benazir Bhutto with David Frost taped just 6 weeks ago. About 6 minutes into the interview, she states that Osama bin laden is dead and was murdered by Omar Sheikh. Gee wiz, that wasn’t on the news. I wonder why.

I suppose the Nazi neo-con Republicans have finally lost the boogieman. Who’s the next boogieman? Keith Olbermann? Or just anybody who disagrees with you fuckers?

I guest the war on ‘terror” is finally over. Osama’s dead. It’s time to bring the troops home. What do you think you fucking war mongers?

LOON ALERT!
LOON ALERT!!

I guess AL QUEDA DOESN'T EXIST

The messenger is an asshole!

Next boogieman?

Ask the 3000 that dies in the towers that question. Boogiemans usually don't exist asshole. Don't you have a kid to go hit Messenger? Get lost loser.

Cris has burned Olby on numerous occasions. KO thought he had CC last week but Cris pulled out the wife card and the players table guys laughed and the joke was on Olby. The players laugh in Olby's face every week. It's almost embarrassing.

Check the fan boards. The loons are a bit peturbed that Keith didn't acknowledge them in the book. Guess they won't be sending any ties for his next birthday.

Tonight he was comparing Chamberlain's Munich agreement to the Democrats giving in to President Bush on funding the War back in May. Is that what you're referring to? I agree with Bathtub Boy that the feckless Defeatocrats are the Chamberlains of our time because of their desire to appease the enemy; although they also remind me of another famous WWII-era figure: Vidkun Quisling.

Yes, I'm not sure which one they resemble more

LOON ALERT!

Posted by: at December 29, 2007 6:39 PM


maybe someone will kill the messenger....

I have no idea why Olby even bothered to dig up the stupid Tab girl bit with Cris. Oh, I know why - because Cris burns Olby every week. Olby Bear never learns from his mistakes.

Olby Bear - lol

Doesn't KO mention the name Huggy Bear a lot when he does his highlights? Maybe he's Katy's huggy bear. He's been known to do shout outs to women on air.

God only knows what women other than Katy he still does shout outs to.

Thank you for you 4:29 post, WK. I always felt Johnnie-Jeff, known to you as RK and to others as Jeff, on his attorney's advice, was a bit dense, but Cecelia, Mrs. Hawkins and Sharon argued forcefully that I was just being a condescending putz. You have done wonders for my shattered self-esteem.

Posted by: A N O N Y M O U S at December 29, 2007 8:19 PM


Did wasted notice 'mike' couldn't tell us how he knew what Olby was thinking? Of course not, hacks. Maybe I should go back and re post some of the ever so smart posts made by clucker, philby, jennifer or rudy. How bout those "moo moo moo" posts? How bout wasted getting his ass handed to him, how many times has he misquoted me? I've lost track. Olbyloon desperation never ceases to amaze!

The model olbyloon! Clucker/Mrs. Philby/Jennifer/Joel/rudyramirez/ and most recently ANONYMOUS. I'm sure I missed several, my apologies. Seated right there beside AAP/hundreds of others on the crapper. Probably touching their feet together as we speak.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong, Mrs. Philby?


CNN and Hillary Destabilize Pakistan
By Cliff Kincaid Saturday, December 29, 2007


In the wake of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, Wolf Blitzer of CNN made much of an e-mail, exclusively provided to him by a close associate of Bhutto and a Hillary Clinton supporter, casting blame on Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for her murder. We can now understand why Musharraf’s November 3 state-of-emergency decree took foreign news outlets like CNN off the air.

Musharraf, who is one of the main targets of the al-Qaeda international terrorist organization, recognizes that the so-called “CNN effect” in global affairs can destabilize foreign governments, including his own. It’s no wonder that he recently complained about being betrayed by the Western media.

Didn't think you could defend cnn. I'm surprised, actually. Isn't wolfie one of your go to guys for hard hitting news? Philby is as original as white paint. Not an original thought to be found.

Yea, I love Olbermahn, philby. You believe that?

Yet this is exactly what he did here...without attribution.
A little hypocritical, Jeffrey?
NO ..A LOT HYPOCRITICAL !


posted by the poster sometimes known as 'why'


By Cliff Kincaid Saturday, December 29, 2007


Can't read, 'why?' That's known as 'attribution.' Oh, you forgot to add Canada Free Press to your list. Hack.

I'm not surprised that the poster sometimes known as "why" would condone wolfie and hillary trying to start a nuclear war. It's just 'tripe' says the olbyloon.

Olbyloon Ed
Todays Students: 'why' and Mrs. Philby
Sadly, they both claim to be 'teachers'

Attribution (copyright), a concept in copyright law requiring an [author to be credited.]

'Cut n' Runners,' Shocker.

Thanks, teach! Debunked, again. Nite nite.

The war on terrorism continues....too bad the Democratic Party presidential candidates have all fallen on the wrong side of the debate and are now forced to ignore it.....Oh and the Democratic Party leaders, the left's ruling class, has also been forced to act in support of the president's leadership....oh well...wannawipe's, Mr. blank-FLUCKER's (cue OLD SPICE jingle) and the worst of the lot, mental midget's, predictions of loss and lame duck status seem to be proven wrong.....again!...

And the anti-American left's best foreign supporter, OBL, once again ties Iraq to the war on terrorism along with a nice snipet of the left's fav.....anti-Semitism....

"'We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea,' he said, threatening 'blood for blood, destruction for destruction.'

"'We will not recognize even one inch for Jews in the land of Palestine as other Muslim leaders have,' bin Laden said."


###
Oh my....OBL wanting the destruction of Israel?.....Gee...I thought Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terrorism?.....And then this....

"Bin Laden said Sunni Arabs who have joined the Awakening Councils 'have betrayed the nation and brought disgrace and shame to their people. They will suffer in life and in the afterlife.'

"White House spokesman Tony Fratto said bin Laden's tape shows that al-Qaida's aim is to block democracy and freedom for all Iraqis.

"'It also reminds us that the mission to defeat al-Qaida in Iraq is critically important and must succeed,' Fratto said. 'The Iraqi people - every day, and in increasing numbers - are choosing freedom and standing against the murderous, hateful ideology of AQI. And we stand with them.'"

###
Does the anti-American left stand with them?.....hey mental midget? Uh Mike? Uh wannawipe? Uh Mr. blank-FLUCKER (cue OLD SPICE jingle)?....

I await one of the following typical OW lefty responses:

A) Silence
B) Chickenhawk slurs
C) Cursing and anti-religious bigotry
D) Historical revisionism
E) B, C, and D

And this is my post today, the 1,705th 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

If attacking the messenger is all you have, then you’re pretty pathetic.

When did this happen?

And the anti-American left's best foreign supporter, OBL, once again ties Iraq to the war on terrorism along with a nice snipet of the left's fav.....anti-Semitism....

Posted by: cee at December 30, 2007 10:24 AM


Yes, because criticizing Israel's government is being anti-semetic. I must admit, this is one of the best tactic s that the right (and some on the left) uses to justify war. You are either with George Bush or you are with Bin Laden. If those are my only two choices, KILL ME NOW.

Before you put people into your neat little packaged groups, I suggest you read this:

Oh my....OBL wanting the destruction of Israel?.....Gee...I thought Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terrorism?...

posted by cee

Prediction. The loons will say "It didn't have anyting to do w/the war on terrorism until Bush attacked/invaded a country that didn't attack us!"

"Needless deaths!"
"War for oil!"
"Rumsfeld!"
"Haliburton!"
"Cheney!"

Except, with more caps and exclamation points, of course. Nothing but the same ol' blame, scapegoat and diversions from the usual suspects. Did you notice that the armchair qb's that suggested we should have went into Pakistan in the first place were silenced with my simplictic post the other night when confronted on the Pakistan issue?

"Needless deaths!"
"War for oil!"
"Rumsfeld!"
"Haliburton!"
"Cheney!"

Thanks, for saving me time from typing.

You are either with George Bush or you are with Bin Laden. If those are my only two choices, KILL ME NOW.

Mike, how can you say that Keith doesn't oppose the war on terror? He wants Gitmo shut down and the prisoners released. He wants to stop America's efforts to listen to terrorist's phone calls and track their financial transactions. He is opposed to tough interrogations of terrorists. How many times has Keith had the lawyer for Osama's bodyguard on his show? At least 10? Essentially demanding that the Al Qaeda terrorist be released from prison. Keith even went so far as to tell the lawyer for the Al Qaeda terrorist "It's an honor to be in the same country with you". Come on Mike. I know that Keith is your hero and you love to defend him, but when it comes to America's fight against terrorists, Keith is on the wrong side.

RK: "Did you notice that the armchair qb's that suggested we should have went into Pakistan in the first place were silenced with my simplictic post the other night when confronted on the Pakistan issue?"

SIGH!

1) - NOBODY suggested that "we should have went into Pakistan in the first place". Thats just your legendary stupidity and imagination going wild again.

2) - YOU didn't "confront" anyone with "the Pakistan issue". But your stupidity and lack of reading comprehension was certainly on full display again.

3) - YOU are incapable of 'confronting' anyone using 'issues'. All you ever do is misinterpret someone else's prior words and then try to use them against them later while remaining blissfully ignorant about the fact that you never understood what they had written in the first place.

4) - We are all still waiting with baited breath for you to try your hand at REAL debate....but so far, it hasn't happened yet.

4) - YOU.....are nothing but a troll!

Case closed.

2) - KO DOESN'T oppose the war on terror.

Right. That's why he calls it the "so-called" war on terror. He doesn't just oppose it, he doesn't believe it exists!

> selfishly and shamelessly questioning the patriotism of Americans

But somehow when Keith shamelessly questions the patriotism of Americans, that's not only permissible, it's brilliant Edward R Murrow-caliber "journalism". More Olbypologist hypocrisy.

James, to say that KO opposes the war on terrorism simply because he opposes some of it's current manifestations is where you are making your mistake.

He obviously believes, as I do, that effectively 'fighting' external threats to our cherished freedoms, security, and principles cannot be accomplished by internally threatening those very same freedoms, securities, and principles.

Here is a brief recap of what some of us believe for those who haven't been paying close attention:

- You cannot defend freedom by limiting freedom yourself.

- You cannot defend the Constitution by violating some of it's core principles yourself.

- You cannot defeat barbarism by resorting to barbarism yourself.

Frankly, I don't have a clue why these principles are so difficult for many on the right to grasp?

You say Kieth Olbermann wants "Gitmo's prisoners released", but where in the world did you get THAT from? All he has done is call for Gitmo Prisoners to be brought under the arm of either the Geneva Convention, or our own system of of granting rights of a fair trial and legal protection for the accused. But I have never seen where he has never called for their 'release'.

And finally, for the umteenth time....Keith Olbermann is NOT my "hero".

My days of hero worshipping ended around 40 years ago.


but what you forget is that people like myself are the ones who have been pointing to Pakistan all along as ground zero

Really?

Sigh!.....Yes Jeff....Really!

You are SO easy to predict....and your thinking is SO simplistic and transparent.

Now carefully and slowly re-read that sentence you just ressurected and tell we WHERE it ever suggested that "we should have went into Pakistan in the first place."

That wasn't what it said....and that wasn't what it mean't.

Why were you defending patsy when he claimed I said "Fox News is left wing" AND "Fred Thompson will win the presidency?" Huh, hack? Same thing, hack. You're Pakistan remark is closer to true, though. If not, what did you mean, huh?

RK: "Why were you defending Patsy"

One thing your little mind never seems to grasp is that NOBODY on this board needs any 'defense' from YOU.

Another thing you fail to grasp is that we pretty much consider you to be nothing but a recurring bad joke that never goes away.

A third concept you fail to grasp is that attacking your ongoing stupidity is something we often do for sport when nothing else is happening, and has nothing to do with 'defending' anyone else.

Going after your endless stream of unbelievably simplistic and stupid statements is sometimes fun...and at other times simply exasperating.

It often seems that YOU are the only one on this board that fails to grasp how ridiculous you sound....and that makes it all the more hilarious.

As for my Pakistan statement; that is yet another example of something only YOU seems incapable of understanding...yet you are me to once again give you your own personal little tutoring about the meaning of words on a public discussion board.

Notice how 'mike' left the building?

"Notice how 'mike' left the building?"

Yet another self explanatory example of an incredibly stupid emission from Jeff that was obviously mean't to be a taunt.....that backfired again.

2:29 probably the longest diversion of the day...........

What ever you do, 'mike,' DO NOT call philby, 2:58, a troll. Grasp that 'partisan hack' badge firmly.

Wasted Keystrokes: You may not be an Olberloon but you're certainly a loon with a need for the last word. Good grief - give it up. How about we all say you are always 100 percent right and you are the best thing since sliced bread. Happy now? You get to declare your self anything you want to be and we'll nod in approval like loons watching Olbermann.

OK, I've vented now. lol

wasted, what brought you to this blog?

RK: "Whatever you do 'mike', DO NOT call philby, 2:58, a troll. Grasp that 'partisn hack' badge firmly."

There are tqo 2:58 posts Jeff. One of them was done by a well known internet troll who sometimes calls himself "royal king". The other one was posted by an UNKNOWN poster who is obviously tired of reading your own endless and mindless trolling.

Lets run down a few points here:

1) - YOUR 2:58 troll post offered nothing from YOU at all....All you did was copy and paste someone else's out of context reply that you that you believe was SO profound that you've now cut and pasted it twice now. And what you find profound is what continues to illuminate your ongoing stupidity so brightly.

2) - You don't have a clue who made that OTHER 2:58 post. One would think you would have learned your lesson about doing that by now?

3) - You called my 2:29 post a diversion....in an obvious attempt to divert yourself from having to answer to the many FACTS that were articulated there about what is really going on here.

Those are all things that trolls do....TROLL!

2) - KO DOESN'T oppose the war on terror.

Wrong, again, 'mike.' I am ALWAYS royal king. Desperate? Indeed. Another classic diversion, thanks.

"Out of Context? @ 3:41"

Absolutely!......Why, you say? .....

Because my quotes that he used to make his point were incomplete, and therfore, totally out of context.

For example, using the quote "selfishly and shamelessly quesioning the patriotism of Americans" was only PART of my total point in which I was referring to KO's very first special comment aimed at Rumsfeld for shamelessly doing exactly that....and it also ignored my subsequent point that I had made in the same post about how once such a pandora's box is opened, it can be argued that turnabout is fair play.

I've done the same thing myself. I became so tired of having my own patriotism questioned simply because I oppose the Iraq War that I have myself resorted to responding by showing how that SAME charge can be leveled against those same shameless finger pointing war hawks.....just as easily!

So the answer is easy....ANY time you take one small part of one sentence and play it back to try to make a counterpoint.....and then have someone else play that SAME little part of a sentence back two or three MORE times, you are deliberately avoiding proper context.

Which is inherently dishonest.

But hell...why not? Politicians are doing that all the time these days!

"wrong again 'mike', I am ALWAYS royal king. Desperate."

How quickly they forget what they wish to forget!

You are sometimes "Jeff"!

'mike', go back and find the last post where I used 'jeff' and tell me 'sometimes' is the right word. Go ahead. Out of context, LOL!

Johnnie-Jeff really is a fascinating man.
He is just wholly misunderstood. I think most of that has to do with his choice of screenname.

Royal King?
Is there anything he's ever posted that resembles anything royal or kingly?

Besides, isn't it a little redundant?
Its also kind of like a restaurant with a sign that says "gourmet food". Just something untrustworthy about what is represented.

He does have good southern values though. He is a good soldier too. He is now a lietenant colonel in the Savage Brigade. He is very good at
