    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    June 26, 2008
    Olbermann's Blue Base Buckling Beneath His Feet

    Bathtub Boy

    We've seen Keith Olbermann ridiculed in the pages of the normally friendly GQ. And then there was all that distinctly negative coverage in HuffPo, first from Rachel Slkar and then from the editors who gave stories from the NY Post prominent play. Now the infamous, deplorable one's blue base is buckling even further.

    When Glenn Greenwald calls out Oralmann for hypocrisy, you know times are tough on OlbyPlanet:

    Now that Barack Obama supports a law that does the same thing -- and now that Obama justifies that support by claiming that this bill is necessary to keep us Safe from the Terrorists -- everything has changed. Last night, Olbermann invited Newsweek's Jonathan Alter onto his show to discuss Obama's support for the FISA and telecom amnesty bill (video of the segment is here). There wasn't a syllable uttered about "immunizing corporate criminals" or "textbook examples of Fascism" or the Third Reich....

    Obviously, Jonathan Alter has no idea what he's saying, but nonetheless decrees that this bill -- now that Obama supports it -- restores the Fourth Amendment. Those are the Orwellian lengths to which people like Olbermann and Alter are apparently willing to go in order to offer their blind devotion to Barack Obama....

    Olbermann mocks Congressional Democrats as being weak and complicit for failing to stand up to Bush lawbreaking; now that Obama does it, it's proof that Obama won't "cower." Grave warning on Olbermann's show that telecom amnesty and FISA revisions were hallmarks of Bush Fascism instantaneously transformed into a celebration that Obama, by supporting the same things, was leading a courageous, centrist crusade in defense of our Constitution.

    There's more. Much more. Read the whole thing and ask yourself: which prominent leftist writer will be the next to throw Herr Olbermahn under the bus? [Ding!]

    Looks like many libs are beginning to see in Olbypants and Obamination what many of us have know for quite some time. I'm encouraged. I'm a firm believer that sooner or later the truth will come out on any given subject or person. In the case of this nominee, I'm really pulling for sooner.

    Like I mentioned at J$'s place...this is how the "O bros" (Obama and Olbermann) act....There is NO integrity, there is no principle. For Obama...it is all about political expediency. For Olbermann...it is all about moving his agenda forward (both his far left ideology and his career as a false journo).

    Olbermann's (and Alter's) manlove for SNOBamessiah is so strong that it forces them to suspend any logic or integrity in their neverending defense of his actions.

    I wonder how SNOBamessiah's mushiness on the application of the second amendment will be spun on COUNTDOWN tonight?....One thing I am confident on is that Olbermann will attack McCain for his great attack on the savior bringing up the effete liberal's unscripted musings in San Fran.

    The final rats to jump ship will be Fineman, Milbank and Wolff. Certainly, these "respected" journalists felt they could further their careers by attaching themselves to the mighty USS Olbermann, but they have to be realizing that they only attached themselves to the USS Minnow

    Don't count on a WPITW for 'ole Greenwald, Olby will be hidding under his desk on this one. I do not think he has commented at the Daily Kos since Russert died. He will use that as an excuse no doubt. (the KOSkidz were nuts over that), By the way, his most love-struck fan is heartbroken over this:

    From: Blogging Olbermann, (formerly, ERT):

    "...People change their minds on issues all the time and Keith Olbermann is certainly no exception. But sir, when you do so in the way you did last night, refuting the passionate stance you took in a Special Comment by meekly agreeing with a guest in what appears as a slavish devotion to a candidate, you lose your credibility. You lose respect. You become that which you loathe - a partisan shill like those on Fox."
    posted by Becky on Thursday, June 26, 2008

    She then comments in her own post when another Loon agrees with her:

    I’ve taken Keith to task in the past, but yes. This was the most difficult. Always before it was because I was a little pissed off. This is far worse. This is disappointment.

    Remember, this is the chick who, when asked by a Playboy editor wrote a possitive letter because they got only negative ones. She defended that and saw nothing 'dishonest' about that little journalistic farce. I'm not comparing FISA to being asked to write a letter to the editor, but, really, principles are principles, now she's crying about Olbermann's pandering? The lefty loons are cracking, it is amusing too watch.

    Considering all the overheated and hyperbolic rhetoric about Bush wanting to usurp the Constitution and bring a police state to Amerrica, you'd think that Obama marching in a straight line behind this legislation would be cause for some sort of gnashing of teeth.

    That's the problem with using that sort of over-the-top rhetoric. You sound like an prevaricating partisan idiot when you later have to say...'Fascist...smashist.... oh, well..."

    "Campaign finance reform.... Champagne Sinance deform.... oh well...."

    McCain flip-flopped to gain CONSERVATIVE support....and look, Keith!...so has Obama.... :D

    Speaking of "throwing under the bus" check this out with accompanying links.

    Sharon, the picture at that site is a treat!

    NEWS FLASH!!!!! alter says obama just a politician ,always has been. no sh*t

    I just enlarged the picture and noticed Olbermann in the bus. Priceless!

    Not mentioned in this article is another "I don't do cowering" moment. Olbermann uses the flag pin debacle to prove his messiah is not a coward. Using the Rolling Stones cover to show Obama's jokingly yet distain look as he's, evidently, looking at the flag lapel pin as a reason his man doesn't cower. Swift Boat! (ding!)

    Oh really? If anything in the world could prove that Obama is a sniveling coward this would be the example. Is Olby World really this frickin' stupid? Olby is saying: Obama caters to the Conservatives by wearing the pin as an example of him not cowering.

    Obama to Olbermann is like David Koresh to a Davidian. Master and retard.

    "By spearule on June 26, 2008 3:55 PM
    NEWS FLASH!!!!! alter says obama just a politician ,always has been. no sh*t"

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    I hear you spearule, being a politician means it's all right to lie. What happened to the "New Kind of Politician"? You know, "politics as usual".
    Hope and Change!

    Barack's next speech: "I'm not the politician that I knew a month ago."

    I think the Altar Boy will stick with fatass right down to the end. I don't know about Fineman, Milbank and Wolffman Jack. I kind of think that they have tarnished any reputation they may have had for "respected journalists" so they may have to stay on the Titanic also. I think the hard part for them is that anymore they are getting no tube exposure. Don't seem to see them on other shows as often. They may have to stick with him because they get off on being on the tube and there is nowhere else to go. I suppose they can still sit with Abrams but haven't I seen where he is just about toast himself? Not surprising since the Verdict or whatever it is, is just a spinoff of KO with a little less of the phony outrage, etc. Back to back it is 2 hours of the same crap.

    The other question I have is whether or not Caputo takes a bullett when the whole thing collapses. My sense is not. He seems pretty political and probably will dance between the icebergs. He pulled off the Imus thing and was able to blame it on all of the minorities in the network. Plus KO is such a whackjob that he can be the fall guy for just about everything.

    Ahhhh, the Kossacks are freakin' out...Keify hasn't commented or posted a diary in two weeks....

    http://tinyurl.com/3qdse8

    Sorry J$, I just saw the kossack link was in the mini-blog. I think he has to lay low, I don't think he can take the KosKidz rippin' him a new one...special komment be dammed, he's too busy freakin' out over a gossip column!

    The remarks of the Kossacks are all over the map. I expected them to run to his defense but instead I see lots of criticism. This can't be an east read for KO. Usually he finds the love at that site - instead he is described as "petty and self-indulgent."

    They're none too kind to Obama either:

    Obama failed this acid test. He did not "cower", he "caved" to the Telcos and gave them their 'get out of jail free' card.
    I forget if it was Alter or someone else on Countdown that said something like "Obama is a career politician" to this vote should not shock anyone. Well, it shocked me because Obama had me BELIEVING in his change. Shame on me for believing a politician.
    So you are right. If Keith doesn't call Obama on this soon, then he has failed his own "Edward R. Murrow " acid test.


    The Kossacks are disillusioned and disappointed. Will KO be tub-bound soon? Does he splash water out of the tub when the Jimmy legs hit?

    yeah count, its amazing how he went from the fresh apolitical bipartisan second comming to the hard nosed politician playing the pander. the emperor has no clothes on

    One lone Kossack has defended KO by saying he must "have been forced by his network to capitulate on some key issues, what with the telcom companies having a huge holding on the cable news business, and all."

    Yeah, his producers made him do it. Always blame it on someone else.

    Keith just might have to take the entire hour one night to name all the people attacking him from both sides as WPITW.

    By ktt on June 26, 2008 6:35 PM Yeah, his producers made him do it.

    Didn't his "producers" make him do the Idol/celebrity stuff too? teehee.

    Glenn Greenwald attacking Olbermann? One left wing propagandists attacking another. Greenwald needs to figure out that Olbermann really isn't interest in advancing communism; Olbermann is only interested in capturing the eyes of Obamanation's brainless followers.

    What's sadder: Obermann 527's for Obama or the producers telling Olby has to be in bed with the later? It's all creepy and unethical.

    What's sadder: Obermann 527's for Obama or the producers telling Olby he has to be in bed with the later? It's all creepy and unethical.

    Since the daily links thread has turned into an ideological back-and-forth, I'll post my WPitW recap here:
    In the Media Matters Minute, more evil Fox and conservative bashing:
    Sean Hannity: "of Fixed News [ding!]." Haughty Hannity impression. How dare he be against carbon offsets and climate change. He worked Murdoch into this, too, using a quote from last May to contradict Sean, complete with Australian pirate voice.
    Bill O'Reilly: For the third damn night in a row! Make it stop! Please! "[insulting nickname without 'Reilly in it]" [ding!]. This is pretty much what I predicted last night: BOR would be attacked for his reporting on GE, regarding dealings with Iran and not cleaning PCBs out of the Hudson River. Yes, Oralmann made this about him. Hysterical Ted Baxter voice with a tinge of BOR. "Nobody's dealing with the Mullahs, you simpleton. There's international firms still working in Iran. One of them has a contract to use GE stuff and has promised it expires next Monday. I know this is complicated for anybody whose brain still runs on steam, Billy, but there are no GE deals with the government of Iran. Not that this interrupts Bill. On the radio he aligned this way." Hysterical Ted Baxter voice quoting doctored Media Matters (I'll bet) audio from the second hour of yesterday's "Radio Factor." Jab at grammar. "This just in: [insulting nickname]'s not objective. 'I'm trying to get him.' Stick to what you're good at: trying to get your women producers." Can I throw in a [ding] for that? Stick to what you're good at, Fat Ass: getting your quarter-century younger girlfriend to be top anchor at WPIX-TV. That and sports. Otherwise, get the hell off the air. And by the way, the reportage of GE has nothing to do with you! Get over it, Monkeymann! Goodness.
    Justice Antonin Scalia: Something about the 5-4 ruling that got rid of the D.C. gun ban. I don't care anymore. I've exhausted 15 minutes writing about the O'Reilly bashing.
    BOR's on vacation until July 7. You think Merkle will take a vacation? Of course not. Ratings! Ratings! Ratings!

    Scalia is a very strict Constitutionlist.

    Now, is it because Scalia is the one who wrote the 65 page majority opinion that he got WPITW? Probably.

    What if Kennedy had written the majority opinion? Who knows if he would have got the WPITW. Doubtful.

    The courts made a historic ruling today and KO reacts like that?

    Olbermann is a moron. Keith Olbermann...tonight's Biggest D-Bag in the World.

    I just realized I may get in trouble with Keithy for saying one word three times with exclamation points. You know, his old friend Tim Russert did that. On Election night in 2000, Tim wrote on his whiteboard (The Big Russ Board): "Florida! Florida! Florida!"
    Therefore, that's an Olby no-no. ;-)

    Check out the link in the KO Mini-Blog - http://tinyurl.com/54kbz2

    KO responds to Greenwald, and does it on DKos. So he hits a trifecta here, he

    1) gives his reply to Greenwald

    2) reconnects with the Kossacks who were worried about his absence

    3) manages to give a tribute to his BFF John Dean


    ugh . . .

    This is my first time here but I have been watching this site for some time now.

    It's refreshing to see there are this many people who see through KO's ego, agenda and bullsh*t

    Welcome boycott and any other lurkers. Please join in. You'll find some great resources here.

    Sharon - I enjoyed the picture you linked yesterday, and pointing out that KO is on the BO bus is priceless. Thanks.

    In making justice Scalia wpitw is queif implying he knows constitutional law and how to interperate the constitution better than justice scalia and 4 other justices with a backbone.

    qeif is more concerned about enemy combatant rights to the US constitution than legal US citizens rights

    You're welcome ktt. This is totally unrelated but the site once posted a picture with the caption: Barry Bonds relaxes at the dug out fence, or which one is Barry? something like that. There is a photo-shopped huge head on his body as he leans on the fence with his comrades of normal sized heads.

    mikeh, did you happen to catch obama yesterday putting party before country? I highly doubt you caught it.

    Sigh....No OS, but I can safely assume that by your saying he was "puting party before country", you were doing another one of your usual twisted and convoluted interpretations.

    "In making justice Scalia wpitw is queif inmplying he knows constitutional law and how to interpret the constitution better than justice scalia...."

    My dog could interpret the Constitution better than Scalia based on the rather strange logic he displayed in a recent interview when he defended torture based on his assumption that 'torture isn't intended as punishment', and therefore it doesn't violate the spiirt of the "cruel and unusual punishment" standard.

    that must be some dog

    but why if the constitution and the rights of the people are so important to ko is he so upset that the scotus upheld the 2nd amendement

    "but why if he constitution and the rights of the people are so important to ko is so upset that the scotus upheld the 2nd amendment"

    That is a question you will have to ask KO because I disagree with Keith myself regarding that particular ruling. My comment was intended only as a critique on Justice Scalia's general quailiticfations and motivations.
