"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
The infamous, deplorable one bellowed the first opening spiel of the week: Super Tuesday Obama vs Hillary: close! Republicans are lemmings! McCain might lose his temper! Keith brags how he predicted the Super Bowl! It's blue Monday at Olbermann Watch, where we again catch Olby in a big, honking example of hypocrisy and utter bias. It's a dog we knew wouldn't bark, and we were right.
#5: As always, Dems get covered first. Obama/Clinton tied. The discredited baseball card collector nattered about endorsements, and The Wolffe Man simpered. But there was no Great Thanks. Endorsements by DeNiro, Stevie Wonder and Maria Shriver. Long clip of her endorsing Obama. Lefty Alter yammered about the "tremendous positive feeling" for the Clintons. Still no great thanks.
After a "lunatic fringe" [Ding!] and another "lunatic fringe" [Ding!] came #4: how the delegates will be counted. The Widest Mouth in All Television spent the segment explaining how it works--for the Dems, of course. He got Great Thanksed, with Olby noting that tonight Slippery was "at Chicago". You mean he was watching a Broadway show?
After an oddball intro with about a half dozen flubs and gaffes and a Fox Noise [Ding!] came #3: "Man on Fan" Olbermann all discombobulated because those damn Repubs are not falling in line for McCain (Blue Blog Source: Salon). Robinson nattered but was not Great Thanksed. #2: nothing. #1: SuperBowl.
In the Media Matters Minute, Herr Olbermahn stuck to his favorite targets: Chris Wallace of Fixed News [Ding!] (Blue Blog Source: Hillary Clinton's Media Matters) for daring to ask her highness about Iraq. Just asking a question makes Wallace a "fraud" and a shill for Republicans, said the "journalist" who blogs for the Daily Kos. Plus Bill Bennett (Blue Blog Source: Huff 'n' Puff)--this was a typical OlbySmear. He attacked Bennett for having contributed money to McCain while defending McCain on the air--but completely omitted the fact that Bennett contributed to multiple candidates including Romney, not just McCain. Um, isn't that slightly relevant, Fat Ass? And "worst" Limbaugh (Blue Blog Source: Salon).
Dogs That Did Not Bark: After months in the tank for Hillary Clinton, Bear recently signed up (figuratively and literally) on the Kos Kavalcade, which means he switched his allegiance to Barack. But he has to watch his step, and keep one foot in the Clinton camp, just to play safe. The purpose of Daily Kos after all is to support and elect Democrats. So it is that we knew this latest dog would be silenced. Backstory: It wasn't that long ago that Edward R Olbermoronn was on his high horse about the "delusional" John McCain. Why? Because in a Q&A somebody referenced Hillary as "the bitch". McCain, for his part, was quick to reply that he respected Senator Clinton, but for Fat Ass that wasn't good enough, as he kicked off several nights of flogging the story by blasting McCain:
One of his supporters uses an offensive term to describe Hillary Clinton and McCain laughs... McCain laughs and calls it an excellent question... He is he trying to defend the indefensible after a voter in South Carolina called Hillary Clinton an extremely disrespectful epithet--an epithet that he through lack of censure appeared to support.... The senator first laughed and then riffed on the foul comment... He respects her but he didn't respect her enough to suggest to the idiot in the restaurant that the term is inappropriate in a public place?... It sounds as if the lessons of Macaca were not really learned.... I mean, if he just said afterwards, it was inappropriate to use that terminology in this context, wouldn't this have gone away?
And on and on. Whew! And that was just from Day One. Now flash forward to today and something startlingly similar: a Clinton supporter calling George Bush a "bastard". Yes, one of Hillary's supporters uses an offensive term to describe George Bush and Hillary smiles. She smiles, and says not one word for or against the comment, not even "I respect the Presidency". So "bastard" is an epithet that she through lack of censure appears to support. She respects the Presidency but not enough to suggest to the idiot that the term is inappropriate in a public place? It sounds as if the lessons of Macaca were not learned. Yada yada yada. Yeah, all of that is what Monkeymann did not say tonight. He spiked the story. Completely. Because it wasn't John McCain, Republican. It was Hillary Clinton, Democrat. And OlbySpin and the rules of the Daily Kos demand that Republicans be attacked and Democrats protected. It's another reason we call it The Hour of Spin, and why Keith Oralmann is a slovenly political hack. Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 1 [LOW]
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 638th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will be indicted".
That dirty old scum bag hippy Willie Nelson is a 9/11 truther.

This is the democrats fault. Democrats are the party of the simpletons who are easily tricked by con-men into believing in nonsense. At least BJ Clinton has the brains call out these morons.
if he were my father i'd kill myself too. cant sing for !@#$ either.
willie only "gets it up" these days for the likes of brokeback mountain.
How can Olbermann express purple-faced outrage (and you must tip your cap: no one can impersonate Howard Beale better than KO) about McCain not adequately correcting someone who called Senator Clinton a "bitch" while later saying nothing about Clinton being silent when Bush is called a "bastard"?
He who says "A" must say "B". Right?
If you were to set up a test case to illustrate his bias and partisanship, this would be it.
And guess what? He got a perfect score.
Chris Wallace questioned Romney unmercifully about lobbyist cronies in his campaign-- a liberal theme.
He pressed John McCain about what sort of parameters he'd have about nominating Supreme Court justices. Wallace asked McCain would they be too conservative if they wanted to strike down McCain-Feingold or abortion-- a liberal theme.
The problem Olbermann has with Wallace's question to Hillary is that he pushed her from the POV of the right...just as he pushed the Republican candidates from the POV of the left.
Olbermann defines chutzpa. MSNBC has him more cloistered from Republicans than a professor at UC Berkley, in both his nightly show and as co-anchor of their political coverage, and the moron calls someone else a "shill".
Yes, one of Hillary's supporters uses an offensive term to describe George Bush and Hillary smiles. She smiles, and says not one word for or against the comment, not even "I respect the Presidency". So "bastard" is an epithet that she through lack of censure appears to support. She respects the Presidency but not enough to suggest to the idiot that the term is inappropriate in a public place? It sounds as if the lessons of Macaca were not learned. Yada yada yada. Yeah, all of that is what Monkeymann did not say tonight. He spiked the story. Completely. J$
Shocked, stunned and amazed.......Not a peep from Olbyonesidedkanoby? Ya don't say.........
Another test of partisanship.
KO hands BJ Clinton a big check when interviewing him.
KO lambasts Bill Bennet for donating to multiple candidates and still doing political analysis on CNN.
KO is absolutely mum about Carville and Begalia doing political analysis on CNN.
KO represents the finest in hypocrisy in this age!
Grammie
Grammie,
CNN made Begala And Carville step aside until after the Democratic primary is over.
Let's give some credit to CNN for being more diligent about bias than a network that allows their political coverage anchor blog for Daily Kos and proclaim his desire for a victory for the Democrats.
The irony is that CNN probably made Carville and Begala step down FOR the Kos Kids. They're the only ones who would give a crap. :D
Thank$ Pats$ Cake$!

Less than a year away, and Olbergoebbels is about to lose half of his raison d'etre, Bush will no longer be in office. There goes half his DailyKos material...Bill O'Reilly's show has equal numbers of conservative and liberal guest speakers while the Anthrax victim still has the same 5 fruitcakes on to opine...How low do his ratings have to go before the Politburo at MSNBC pull the plug on the Orange Charlatan???? Heil Obergoebbels, making the fourth reich proud. DailyKos should be having their beer hall putsch any day now. If Israel defends itself again, will the Kossacks have another Kristalnacht????They already are marching goosestep...Seig Heil, Heil Olbergoebbels...
Keith Olbergoebbels and Richard Wolffe. My only question is, "Who's the pitcher and who's the catcher?" That's is language that a baseball card collector should be able to understand....Heil Olbergoebbels-"Anthrax victim"
"Indeed, where would we get the troops to impose martial law? A homebound surge?"
The National Guard consists of about 460,000 men and women.
(http://www.ngb.army.mil/default.aspx)
We currently have about 50,000 National Guard in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Leaving well over 400,000 here if needed.
Krazy Keith will be up really late
Keith-TV for eight hours straight
He'll dis John McCain
Veterans will disdain

Trolls never learn, doing exactly what they were banned for in the first place. What's laughable is they claim they "don't like" Olbermahn.
Actually, it's that they don't like us.
They don't like people who think differently.
They don't like people---who do say-- or who don't say--- or who do do-- or who don't do-- exactly what they think those people should or shouldn't be doing or saying.
Therefore there's always ample excuse for them to act precisely in the manner they wish:
It's YOUR own fault
YOU never learn
YOU do it too
YOU are bad
They don't have to act like an adult and in a straight forward manner because (here we complete the circular thinking) --I don't like YOU. YOU are worse.
It's quite a mindset that holds the notion that you have the right to behave any way you wish on another man's blog and any objection is tantamount to suppressing said "right". Or that any behavior you engage in is alright because someone else caused it.
That it SHOULD be just fine for them to play endlessly as socketpuppets (trying to bolster their own arguments), as strawman sockpuppet bigots (trying to distract from someone else's argument), IS a given in any exchange they have with we fascists, bigots, etc... here.
The realization that we came to that this was happening in discussions and the ensuing condemnation and suspicion of it by us, is just more proof of OUR mendacity!
Not only are we supposed to say or to not say...to do or to not do...whatever it is they wish.... we are to ignore or even enjoy their shenanigans and to respond in a friendly manner when they deign to be friendly and most of all pretend it's all on the up-and-up or that it's just a blog board (when THEY wish it be "just a blog board" and they're not telling themselves it's important work to mess with the fascists).
Our job is to be the sheep they think us to be.THEN they will happy.
But then, it's the nature of wolves to hunger for such a pasture and to not only consider it their natural due, but that of the "sheep", as well.
Cecelia, as always you have nailed it. Thanks for laying it out so well.
Yesterday you gave a link to some info on trolls. It didn't work so could you give me some direction.
I am interested in the subject b/c it seems that they are ubiquitous or like Savoir Faire, everywhere.

I'll send you some links via email.
It's been an eye-opener, huh? :D
Hey, I just sent you both something on this.
Seek help, please.
Mystery Deepens Over WMD Documents
By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN
Staff Reporter of the Sun
February 6, 2008
How the classified military documents from Iraq, which named the coordinates of where the Army suspected weapons of mass destruction to be hidden, ended up in an Arabic translator's apartment on Hoyt Street in Brooklyn, is clear.
Not likely to be known anytime soon is what, if anything, the army contractor did with the documents.
