May I ask the Olbermann supporters or defenders a question?

Isn't the O'Reilly obsession, at this stage, indicative of something wrong with Olbermann?

To drag out Jesse Jackson to play the race card is, frankly, pathetic.

But it's borne of just about everything pathetic in Olbermann's disturbing fixation with O'Reilly.

It's bizarre. Cuckoo-time bizarre.

Was listening to air america and all they do is attack gop or oreilly ot fox. I cannot listen to tha more than 2 mins and I see these people listening to this crap all day and take it for fact.

Bringing on Jesse Jackson and trying to flame the BOR lynching comment into a dismissal is an act of desperation on Olbermann's part. There is something twisted in his thinking when it comes to O'Reilly and he can't think rationally.

And Olby insisted it was a "flaccid non-apology" because he said "if my statement offended anybody". j$

More evidence the man has not a shred of credibility or dignity. His desperation is front and center, as usual.

I just don't see how anyone can still have respect for Keith Olbermann. Keith has proved time and time again that he's nothing more than a hypocrite and left wing water carrier.

Bill O'Rielly gave the same apologize David Shuster did.
I didn't hear Keith Olbermann do three shows on David or even mention it on his show.
If you're going to call out Bill for a weak apology and not David Shuster, that makes Keith a hypocrite.

This now the 3rd show in 3 nights on Bill O'Reilly.
Calling for resignation, hanging on his every word, having 5 minute segments on him every night, bringing on guest to talk about Bill, naming him several times a week the WPITW, Keith is wildly obsessed with Bill.

At this point I think Bill should have get a restraining order on Keith.
Granted what Bill said was wrong and he should apologize, but bring it up on one show and let it go, turn the channel Keith, watch Animal Planet or something.

I know in part Keith obsessed attacks on Bill are to get ratings, but I wonder if it backfires on him. If he portrays Bill to be such a nut, that people tune into Bill's show just to hear what he says next.

And what right does Keith have to call for anybody to be fired?
So you want to play Bill's boss and take away his livelihood because he said some dumb things on the air?
Jee, If I was Bill, I would walk a few blocks and punch you right in mouth.

I regret that years ago I recommended CD to friends and now they must think I was out of my mind. He has morphed into everything he rails against. What an embarrassment.

I know others who feel the same way - they're now former viewers.

> Bill O'Rielly gave the same apologize David Shuster did.
I didn't hear Keith Olbermann do three shows on David or even mention it on his show.
If you're going to call out Bill for a weak apology and not David Shuster, that makes Keith a hypocrite.

Shuster not ony didn't get reprimanded for 3 days by Keith, he got a "welcome back"

> . . . Keith is wildly obsessed with Bill.

At this point I think Bill should have get a restraining order on Keith.

Remember that mask of O'Reilly, the one Keith held while doing the Nazi salute, do you think KO makes Katy wear it during their "intimate moments"?

a hypocrite and left wing water carrier.

He's got the 'hypocrite' part down pat. He's not a very good water packer. How do you pack water w/no credibility? His buckets have holes in them.

Maybe Katy makes KEITH wear it!

Three days of attacking O'Reilly for defending Michelle Obamanation and the story still doesn't have legs. Sorry Olby, even the king of the race hustlers can not help you. Why don't you ask Jackson what he thinks about your "chicken and waffles" comment? Olbermann truly is Captain Ahab.

If there was nothing wrong with the New York Times story, Olbermann better inform his buddy Tim Russert. Apparently he has not gotten the memo.

> Maybe Katy makes KEITH wear it!

lol

that would explain how she could go thru with those activities

How many times did Olbermann offer up the word "racist" in discussing O"Reilly?

Yeah, you're Murrow all right.

Slippery Shuster slides his way back
For idiocy he has a knack
He says many things dumb
Yet gets "great thanked" from
That slovenly political hack

The Media Matters Minute was pretty thin tonight. Attacking Frank Luntz for making a joke that all the Democrats in the room laugh at. Talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel but I guess that is why they picked Keith Olbermann to be their stooge.

AFTER 2-NITES VIEW, OBEY JUST JOINED THE ALL- MALE MEDIA CLUB OF SLOBBERING A..
H...'s regarding Senator Clinton's recent debate.

Will the hack beat the dead horse a 4th night?

Former Clinton aide defends McCain
By Jennifer Harper and Stephen Dinan

February 22, 2008

Lanny Davis, a former special adviser to President Clinton and longtime Democratic activist, challenged reports today that Sen. John McCain may have done a favor for a female lobbyist with a deal pending before the Federal Communications Commission — calling them meritless.

I don't know about the mask but would really like to know if Katy and Bear both simultaneously scream out ASSIDUOUS!!!!!

Grammie

There are several problems with Keith's attacks on Bill.

First off, Keith has already admitted that he attacks Bill because his fans or fan, expect him to.
So mainly he does it for ratings, which makes his complaints about Bill seem disingenuous.

Second, he complains about Bill so much it's like the boy who cried wolf.
Chicken Little is crying about Bill 3 to 4 times a week, after a while it gets old and stale.

One day Bill might say something that he should get reprimanded for and Keith will whine and complain about it. But the powers that be won't listen, they'll chalk it up to: oh it's just Keith attacking Bill again, never mind.

Twice this week after his segments on Bill, Keith being melodramatic stated to his guest:
"I'm sorry you had to be here under these circumstances"
Then the camera would cut back to a full head shoot of Keith, clearly disturb and upset has he soberly says "good night and good luck"
What a somber day in our society, lets all have a moment of silence please.

Daniel Day-Lewis couldn't have done a better acting job.

Keith get over yourself, Bill isn't a law maker, a congressman, a lawyer, Bill Gates etc..
He is a news commentator who influences nobody.
This is not an American tragedy, it's just a guy who puts his foot in his mouth like you have.

First it was the n word now it's the l word. Maybe Jessie and olberstick should write a dictionary of offending words so we can all be clued in. A little off subject but the big dustup over Jane Fonda and the c word surprised me. Much in the same way its ok for a black to say the n word on the tube, it makes perfect sense that she would be able to use the c word.

Lets ban the word lynch, rope, noose, tree limb, swinging......................

O'Reilly used a simple everyday term used for anyone that is being attacked. For Olby to call for O'Reilly to be fired is a big wet dream.

This is nothing more than the NY Times or CBS and Rather. These people never learn. They are making McCain and rpeublicans look better every day.

Olbermoronn's apology-of-the-day is a hoot (under these circumstances).

>I don't know about the mask but would really like to know if Katy and Bear both simultaneously scream out ASSIDUOUS!!!!!

Grammie, that's funny.

An overused word, indeed, but I wish I had a dollar for every time he described something as 'extraordinary'. Tired, just like his routine. Listen for it and take a shot each time you hear it - you'll be too drunk to finish counting.

A cop friend of mine in Jersey does free-lance security in Manhattan and has spotted DoucheBag entering various gay bath houses in SoHo and Greenwich....

its ok Keithy baby,,,we know,,,,it's all good....really

Mr. Olbermann did mention Mr. Schuster's comment at least once on his show, and did apologize for what Mr. Schuster on behalf of the network for Mr. Schuster's stupid and offensive comment. Mr. O'Reilly's comment was even stupider and more offensive than Mr. Schuster's, given the history of this country. To say I won't join a lynching party UNLESS is just obscene. Yes, the term "lynching" has more than one meaning, but when you use it in reference to an African American woman and especially when you say UNLESS you're tilting to one meaning over another.

Babbs...babe. So what do you think should happen to Bill? Should he be fired? Should he be suspended? Should he go on Al Sharpton's radio show and apologize? Get over the offended bull*&^%.

Isn't KO about to fry himelf. He has become such a clown, how long can NBC/MSNBC continue to have him co-host primary election coverage. I am for the free market and concede that there must be SOME audience for his "Countdown" or it wouldn't be airing at all. But he is surely becoming such an embarrasment with his obsessive-compulsive behavior. As a professional, I can testify He is REALLY SICK! I saw his "acting" job last night.... how "saddened" he was at BO's comment. Can't even his loyalists see through him by now???? He's a nut-job. Why do they have him sharing the same screen with Tom Brokaw and Pat Buchanan, et.al ? ? ?

Reading over these posts and having heard what O'Reilly said, another non-issue like the Times hit piece on McCain. Nothing there...Lynch means to hang. O'Reilly was obviously using metaphor(in her defense,I may add). Olbermann is like the rest of the media, with media created rascism. Were Blacks the only ones ever "lynched"? People have been hanging criminals for centuries, and lynch mobs were common in the old west. The hip hoppers call their crews "posse" and that's as related to lynching as one can get. This is all hyper sensitivity brought about by race merchants the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Of course they constantly charge rascism, they wouldn't have a job if they didn't.
On another note, the FISA thing IS a big deal to the left for only one reason, which our orange "Hero" would never admit, and in his brainwashed world has probably never entered his limited mind. Taking away immunity from the telecoms opens up THOUSANDS of law suits from trial attorneys(John Edwards, anyone?) who are as much darlings of the left as unions, in other words key backers of the Democrat party. I as a taxpayer don't feel the telecoms should be endlessly sued for attorneys' best interest, i.e. their wallets, on our backs. Is Olby worried someone listened in on him, and the gov't now knows he gets pizza delivered with double cheese? The President is correct in saying this is dangerous because if you don't have the cooperation of the private sector, you're on a rough road...None of the MSM is showing what's happening in Europe as far as internal problems with Muslim populations. They are only now trying to do something to prevent Europe from becoming Eurabia. Pelosi left the FISA thing wide open, and this will cost the Dems in November. Getting back to trial lawyers, John Edwards made his bones suing doctors for not performing Caesarian sections to prevent Cerebal Palsy in some births. Enough time went by, and there has been no reduction in Cerebal Palsy even with the Caesarians. Did Edward's give the money back? The only thing that was accomplished is doctors are now doing them(Caesarians) way more routinely, causing women way more discomfort, longer healing times, and much higher hospital costs and insurance premiums. Great thanks Silky Pony...Trial lawyers,taxes, and insurances are slowly choking small businesses in America. I hope they're happy............

Jim Gibson, in response to your question of Olby's "loyalists" I've observed this election season for the left has become a sports-like mentality. Win at any cost, irregardless of fact. The backing of Obama is case in point. They know virtually nothing about him, he has virtually no voting record, was schooled by Marxist professors, yet they faint at his rallies. Reminds me of what I've read when Hitler was going after power. Politics has become sports to these people, issues be damned. Who better than a failed sportscaster to rally the brownshirts?

In response to Grammie's comment above: I don't know if they both scream "Assiduous" together, but I'd take 9-5 odds he's moaned "mommy" more than once.............Hope that's not too offensive to anyone other than the Great Orange "Jounalist"..............

Seems like Keith is trying to swift boat McCain. Keith "The razzle candy" of msnbc, is he a commentator, is he a news person, is he a sports caster. I don't remember any of the great journalists he wants to be like doing sports.

from the KO mini-blog on the left rail
"I tuned into MSNBC Wednesday evening and almost called 911 to report Keith Olbermann hyperventilating and on the verge of collapse. Olbermann was breathlessly speaking with his regular contributors about a 'scandal' involving Senator John McCain and a lobbyist that was being reported by the New York Times web site."

I can picture that moment. I wonder if the laughing stagehand is also a paramedic. They need to keep oxygen, defibrillators, and an EMT on the set because one of these days he's having the big one when he gets himself in a frenzy.

There's the money shot - seeing Chris Matthews doing CPR and mouth-to-mouth on Olbermann in the middle of primary coverage.

Continuing with that money shot...as the orange "jounalist" comes to, and feels Matthews' lips on his, he starts moaning with eyes closed, "Bill, Bill, I knew you'd come around to my unrequited love", as all of America throws up simultaneosly in its collective mouths..........

WOW.
9 comments out of 37 have mentioned KO in various sexual situations. Some from the typical nuts, but others from such respectable types like J$ and Gummie, er, Grammie.
Gay sex fantasies, role playing fantasies, you name it...

For people trying to show how Olbermann lowers the bar you are pretty much as low as it gets.

OlbermannWatch: The Crapper

I think we can make it an even 10 since you brought up 'sexual situations' as well. If you want to see a real crapper, check out watchingolbermannwatch.com!

> oh yes calling out someone's stupidity is homoerotic.

Are you saying our calling out KO's stupidity is homoerotic?

That's an odd statement.

If you've ever heard Olbermann and Musto I wouldn't go attacking the fact that here 9 comments out of 37 have mentioned KO in various sexual situations. This is tame stuff compared to their conversations, and they are on semi-national TV.

I bet Olbermann has a really big penis. I bet he uses it regularly in all kinds of sexual situations.
I bet he has gay sex.
I bet he dresses up like O'Reilly.
I bet he yells out "assidious".
I bet he often falls into homoerotic situations on the set of countdown.

I would love to see olbermann's penis.
That big, veiny, meaty penis.
Mmmmmmmmmmm..........

average OW repub - did you lift this from Olbermann's diary and just insert his name where he had written O"Reily?

I'll betcha average ow republican is the same troll that made the 3:13 post above. Chiding us for what he just did.

Olbermann is clearly all-in with the O'Reilly attacks, now branding him a "racist"

Amazing what NBC News stomachs with Olbermann. His buddy Abrams has his back and he can he call Obama "Chicken and Waffles" and get away with it.

Dear Keith Blubbermann

For your information. From 'The Radio Factor'.

“While talking to a radio caller, I said there should be no lynching in the case. That comment off Clarence Thomas saying he was a victim of a high tech lynching. He said that on 60 Minutes you may remember. I’m sorry if that statement offended anyone. That was not my intention. Context is everything.”

Nuff Said.

Now go soak your FAT ASS In the tub Stupid.

BTW Let's make it Eleven.

Oh more good news today....

Ralph Nader, the real agent of change not beholden to corporate interests, is entering the campaign....This should make our deal democrats tact even more out of the mainstream and to the left causing more centrist and moderate support to go to McCain.

Clinton Co. is not ready to give up yet....All this wonderful material to use against Obama in the general election right from the horse's mouth....same old politics while he claims he's change...I really am starting to think that Obama is not very deep and the facade that has been created will be vulnerable to the light and fire or truth....

Especially when it is backed up from his fellow democrats.

Posted by: Cecelia at February 24, 2008 6:12 AM

Thanks Cecelia. But it probably ACCS or RK or WDYT. When you've just been knocked out of the park what do you expect the SD's to come back with?

Offended? Nah! You just laugh at garbage like that. 'Trailer Parks' tend to breed this crap. Especially the ones that live under high tension wires.

Back to Stupid er, I mean Olby. He's trying an old 80's trick with Jackson. Now I bet he's hoping that Jackson will do his dirty work ( You don't expect the 'Laziest Newscaster' in Cable News) for him.

He's hoping that Jackson will go on one of his famous 'Shakedown Tours' of radio stations that run 'The Radio Factor' or newspapers that run Bill's weekly 'Talking Points column. And have them drop either.

Watch for Olby to come on next week and crow about how 'HE' has made the 'Print whatever Here' drop Bill's Radio Show or Newspaper Column. Which probably won't be the case. Olby lie? Never!

But watch, as you will never see AL Sharpton on 'Meltdown' because Al could ask about the 'Chicken & Waffles coment. Don't want to take a chance on that, Al & Bill have been known to be dinner pals at Sylvia's.

Just like his friend 'Mental Michael' above, Olby hopes there are enough SD's out there so this 'Racist' word will stick.

This ain't the 80's Olby. plus someday, somewhere you are going to get called on the crap you say other than here. Like Tony Snow has said. "You can fit Keith's friends in a phonebooth'. Not much backup there. And like Tony said Friday while guest hosting "The Radio Factor'. "Theres no better friend than Bill O'Reilly."

'Mental Michael' throws out something over and over, hoping it will stick. And I'm sure if we decided to 'WASTE" our time to go over to his trailer park and walk through his front door he would explain his wisdom to us.

Right after he takes 'Uncle Joe's Candy Cane' out of his mouth.

***********************************

One more point about the E.D. Hill coment Stupid made this week.

E.D. Hill: (from Winki)

A graduate of the University of Texas with a bachelor's degree in journalism, she is working on a master's degree in government. Hill won a local Emmy Award for Outstanding News Special while working for WHDH-TV in Boston (1990-91), and has also received a Golden Quill Award for live spot news reporting.

She has been married three times and is the mother of five children and stepmother to her husband's, venture capitalist Joe Hill, three children from a previous marriage.

So that's eight Kids? So if anything else, here's a Woman, That gets up, see's the eight kids off ( how many are still home?)
Go's to work. Does her hour show, gets home in time for the school bus. And does this five days a week?

Yeah, we can say she can flub a line once in a while.

Olby: (from Winki)

he earned his bachelor of science degree in communications arts from Cornell University.

Gee, Wow!

Has a large Baseball Card Collection.

Whoopie!

Read sports scores for twenty years on various media outlets.

I'm blown away! How about you?

Oh, and last thing from Winki......

"The 6-foot-4, 250-pound broadcaster said he hoped to lose 50 pounds (he had already lost 15 of those). His battle with the bulge was featured on his evening sportscasts. He offered layman's tips on how to gain control over what you eat and he weighed himself in front of the camera. Olbermann decided to attack his problem when he heard a second-hand comment a friend had made about his weight."

So if you see 'Chubby' out on the streets of Manhattan, yell at the top of your lungs 'FATASS'!

No doubt he'll know where it's comin' from and who it's directed to. And don't worry, It's not like 'Mr. Tough Guy' is going to come over and do anything about it.

First, comment, sorry it's early.

Second, Cee, You know why do the SD's have to worry and fret over who to choose?

They can have have the best of both worlds!

http://www.amsterdamnews.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=84522&sID=4

DON"T YOU LAUGH CEE!!!!

She already has an endorsement! Sort of.

http://www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/MumiaSaysCynthia_the_reality_of_change

The SD's, the gift that keeps on giving.

Puckisms:

"So if you see chubby out on the streets of Manhattan, yell at the top of your lungs FATASS!

No doubt he'll know where it's comin' from and who it's directed to. And don't worry, it's not like "Mr. Tough Guy" is going to come over and do anything about it."

Of course he wouldn't.....Any Sane person would typically go in the opposite direction when they are yelled at on the street by a mentally unstable stranger.

Are you as dumb as olby or it is just an act?

"Are you as dumb as olby or is it just an act?"

The fact that you think Keith Olbermann is dumb doesn't say a lot for your IQ level.

It is also telling how you are always at your happiest when you are trading insults.

Stop the tivo! Olbypocrisy Alert! Was it a flaccid non-apology when Al Sharpton--on MSNBC--said "if I offended Mormons with the misuse of my words, I would apologize"? Or how about Chris Matthews: "If I offended anybody, I'm sorry"? Oh and most delicious of all, your very own Slippery Shuster: "To the extent that people feel I was being pejorative, I apologize for that." We're waiting for you to do three days of resignation demands on these people, Olbercrite!

There are many techniques to turn news into propaganda, and Keith Olbermann knows them all. Friday night's Hour of Spin provided an example so typical, and so deceptively elegant, that the credulous viewer (Countdown's stock in trade) no doubt swallowed it whole, oblivious to the disinformation tactics used by Herr Olbermann. They're not new, as those old enough to remember The Third Reich can attest, but even they didn't deploy them with Keith Oralmann's ruthless virtuosity.

The purpose was, of course, to smear a Republican: John McCain

The good news keeps rolling in....

YES!......The messiah references for the junior US Senator from Illinois just keep rolling in....now from one of the greatest minds and tolerant souls in all of the land.....Louis Farrakhan....

I am relieved Obama got this key endorcement! It makes me feel even better about him, being a "christianist" and all. It is good to see the likely democratic party nominee be wrapped up in all of this religious acoutrement.....the secular left must be wondering how to handle it all!

I wonder how Olbermann will cover this story tonight on COUNTDOWN?....Will he even mention it?....Afterall, the McCain lobbiest story is just becoming HUGE!

The secularist radical left is just so interesting....strange bed fellows are forming....a messiah that will redeem the country from it sins is the man for a group of people who cringe when others make such claims about divinity and absolute moral salvation.....oh the irony!

But now there is the rational and very secular lefty Ralph Nader presenting himself for the consideration of the rational and secular left.....I wonder if they can pry themselves away from the messiah worship and pretty words to reconsider their support....

wait, wait, now......wait for the sound of a rush away from the godly Obama.....oh no....they are still there wiping the tears away from their cheeks....how sweet!

Even Hillary had to be sarcastic about it all!......

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/52534.html

HALLELUJIAH!

"But now there is the rational and very secular Ralph Nader presenting himself for the consideration of the rational and secular left."

Yes Cee, so "rational" that he cannot see how he might be personally responsible for GWB. So "rational" that he refuses to consider how his candidacy could just tip the balance in favor of McCain. So "rational" that he continues to pursue a presidency he can never actually attain, but he sure can possibly effect the outcome in a direction contrary to his own ideology.

Yes, the "good" news just keeps pouring in....as well as the dripping sarcasm.

"THE SKY WILL OPEN, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect."

Well, all sarcasm aside, at least he has a positive message.

While you're busy wondering how stale that "yes, we can" message is going to get, I'm wondering how much staler that 'no we can't' message is going to become.

No, no, no, Mike....

McCain's line is:

"John McCain...Courageous Service, Experienced Leadership, Bold Solutions."

"Yes, we can" is a great line because I can use it as follows:

"Yes, we can lose against Al Queda in Iraq!"

"Yes, we can allow anti-Semitism to grow unchecked and unchallenged throughout the world!"

"Yes, we can destroy the best medical system the world has ever seen!"

"Yes, we can raise your taxes!"

So many possibilites!

Oh and in regards to Nader....I was referring to the secular left being "rational," Mike. Falling for messianic themes and rhetoric is scoffed at by such elites and yet there is a way Obamessiah is getting to them...Nader is going to have to try to appeal to their logic if he is to save them from the revival tent mentality!

You do realize the irony of Obama's appeal, Mike? The far left has decided to abandon basic principles of rational thought to embrace someone who will likely have the thinnest resume ever running for President.....and basically because of high rhetoric and large crowds....

The same phenomenon we see at the oft maligned evangelical megachurches and at Farakhan's rally this weekend (he pulled in 20K!).

"The far let has decided to abandon basic principles of rational thought to embrace someone who will likely have the thinnest resume ever running for president."

It's as if you REALLY believe that previous and relatively recent presidents 'thicker' resumes have done us any good. I really could care less whether someone is qualified to be president on "day 1". I am much more concerned about how qualitifed they are on day 100, or day 200, ....
or year 1.

And no Cee...no principles are being "abandoned", this campaign will be based on higher principles than you could ever imagine. Bring up Farakhan all you will, the right wing slime machine is not going to succeed with their typical mud slinging, swiftboating, and negative associations THIS time.

I really could care less whether someone is qualified to be president on "day 1".

Along as he has a (d) after his name, that's all that matters to a hard core partisan. Not what's good for the country. Nice!

"Yes we can lose against Al Qeada in Iraq.".....You mean the "Al Qeada" that wasn't even there when we went in, and won't be when we leave either?

"Yes we can allow anti-Semitism to grow unchecked around the world".....THIS is certainly new one you've added to your list that has little or nothing to do with reality. I guess you think we can force people around the world to think a certain way?

"Yes we can desstroy the best medical system in the world.".....It is fascinating to see how your definition of "destroy" would be to strip away the costly and parasitic insurance monkey-on-it's-back dead weight in place of a system that doesn't lock out working Americans because of pre-existing conditions and their ability to pay?

"Yes we can raise your taxes".....And YOU have never once justified how you can rabidly support a war that is being financed with a mortgaged future while still demanding tax breaks for the wealthy that COULD in fact pay for the thing? Do you run your own personal finances that way?

You see Cee, this is going to be ridiculously easy...unless of course you manage to sneak the candidate you REALLY want to run against in through the back door with all this early negativism.

Well Mike, millions of American's have made such decisions based on less in the past and I recall some on the left crowing about it.....

I guess consistency of argument is not important here....

Especially in regards to endorcements.

Is Farakhan's support not a telling sign?

When I first posted that statement that "Ol
