In his on-going effort to boost Barack Obama and slander John McCain, the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann spares no one. Two days ago he launched a bitter personal attack on Paula Abeles--an attack that was such a stretch it even left The Pundit for All Occasions puzzled as to just how Oralmann could insinuate someone is a racist with so little to base it on:
OLBERMANN: Paulie Abeles, a self-proclaimed Clinton supporter now reaching out to the McCain campaign, going so far to organize a conference call with the presumptive Republican candidate. She is the same member of the Thomas Jefferson Family Association who led the attempt to keep African-American descendants of Mr. Jefferson's reputed slave mistress, Sally Hemings, from attending family reunions.... And we need to be very careful to be very circumspect and not conclude this of all or even a large percentage, maybe even a measurable percentage of Clinton supporters who now have gone to McCain. But at least might the case of this Paulie Abeles woman who we now know organized against letting Sally Hemings' descendents join the Jefferson family gatherings, does this begin to make a lot more sense than just some sort of knee-jerk reaction?FINEMAN: Well, I'm not sure what you mean by making a lot more sense. What do you mean?
OLBERMANN: It would seem to me that--that it's an extraordinary coincidence that somebody who would have objected to the presence of the black descendants of Thomas Jefferson at the Jefferson family reunion, suddenly bolting the Democratic Party because her candidate did not get elected and going over to the Republicans. It would seem that these things are of a narrow vision. I'm not assuming racism here, but there seems to be a narrow vision of what is--what this country is in the 21st century.
No, he's not assuming racism. He only brings up a totally irrelevant incident from the far past regarding people related to Thomas Jefferson's black mistress, mentions that the mistress was African-American, then mentions again that her descendants are black (just in case you didn't get that the first two times), and sneers what an "extraordinary coincidence" it is that this woman now won't fall into line for Obama. The most repellent aspect here may not be Monkeymann's smear, but rather his phony, utterly unconvincing attempt to escape responsibility for his own words by tacking on a "Who, me?" coda that he thinks will innoculate him for his vile slur.
No, he's not assuming racism. Tell that to the people who have tormented Ms Abeles and her family with threats since Herr Olbermann spewed his smear. Perhaps her story will put a new light on Olbermoronn's legendary finger-pointing at Malkin, Coulter, and others for speech that he says "inspires" threats of violence. Is it time for Edward R Olbermann to name himself worst person?
Paula Abeles, June 20 2008:
Keith's attacking another girl
Olby's manliness won't unfurl
He has a small share
The hack with no pair
Edward R. Murrow would hurl
Everyone remember how the Kossacks were outraged that KO’s home was identified in the NY Post story about his tax problems? They were worried that right-wing nuts would go down to his home and, I don’t know, egg it or something. Leaving aside for a moment that nothing like that has happened to KO, proving their concerns unfounded, we need to see if there is an equal level of outrage over these actual threats to Ms. Abeles.
I just wonder how long this charade is going to continue before he gets taken off the air. It's only a matter of time before he goes to far.
It's clear that he's a very disturbed, emotionally immature, narcissistic individual. From what I've seen, as a rule, it is just a matter of time before these personality types go off the deep end if they do not get professional help. They self destruct. I doubt he's any exception to the rule. As much as I dislike the guy, I would hope he'd get help before he goes too far. Unfortunately, these personality types are too narcissistic and deluded to even take into consideration that they need help.

The crazy KOSSACKS want their beloved Keify to do a Special Komment against Obama on the FISA bill "compromise"----(Funny, Obama is a senator and didn't vote on it yet! haha). He gave a statement saying he would vote yes, though. This will be interesting to see if Olbermannarama will actually do a rant against his beloved Obamamann....

Once again....throwing sh*t up on the wall and seeing if it sticks.
It is the reporting "du jour" for our man Olby lately.
Note that he always qualifies his run-on convoluted, contortionist circumspections with, "I'm not actually saying, but...."
Russert must be proud.
How long can KO get away with his sexist attacks against women?.. the list of women he's verbal attacked gets longer every day. New Murrow indeed.
Obama said today that his detractors are racists. Olby hates women, B. Hussein and his miserable wife both hate whitey. Unhinged moonbats.
The leftist media will do nothing about these haters.
You have got to be effing kidding me! Just when I think my opinion of Olbermann can't possibly sink any lower. What an unbelievably irresponsible pig! Reminds me of that infamous on air fight between Rosie O. and Elizabeth H. Rosie loved to throw out insinuations but the second someone challenged her on it she all, "What? Me? How dare you accuse me of saying what I just said!". I think that show was her last because she was truly ashamed to come back after Elizabeth nailed her by saying that Rosie needed to backup her insinuations, or words to that effect. I can only dream that Olbermann would do the same. But, I know he won't since the man has no shame.
Keith and his Al Jazeera@30 Rock New executives need to undersatand that every word he says will be scrutinized.
