"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
We picked a great night to return to recapping. Olbermann flat-out lies about Bill O'Reilly, changing a conversation around 180 degrees just to smear his more successful opponent. Don't believe us? We have the video proof! But first, the opening spiel: Nightly McCain attack, rehash of yesterday's "breaking news" by someone "too stupid to be on TV", Billo [Ding!], Hagee [Ding!], and HuffPo's Harry Shearer. Yeah it's great to be back doing Oralmann recaps again. Not.
#5: You guessed it, flogging yesterday's McCain "gaffe" yet again. And sure enough, somehow it's still "BREAKING NEWS!". Olby and Hayes, two far-left has-beens, batted back and forth about how stupid and ignorant and dishonest John McCain is. It's so much fun to denigrate a P.O.W. and a veteran. If this were 1974, Bathtub Boy would be Jane Fonda. Keith "Czechoslovakia" Olbermann even suggested McCain's campaign was "cracking up" and wouldn't last until the election.
Right-wingers! [Ding!] Next up was comedian Madcow, tonight playing a journalism critic. They agreed that, as everyone knows, the media is biased against Democrats, while Madcow proclaimed her journalistic skills superior to those of CBS News.
After a Billo [Ding!] and a Hagee [Ding!] came #4: More attacks on a P.O.W.! Graphic: "McShame". You know what this is: more outrageous/wrong/senile/stupid things said by McCain. But Obama must be more than a man. He must be a god. Because on OlbyPlanet you won't see segments like this about Barack Obama. It's, like, because, you know, the media are biased against the Democrats. Dana Milbank, minus mental capacity, nattered.
After Hagee [Ding!] and Hagee [Ding!], came #3: Obama up in the polls. (You'll recall that Countdown spiked the Newsweek poll that showed an Obama drop; now they're hyping a poll that shows Obama unchanged!) Hot Toddy sullied his reputation again by associating himself with the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann.
After a Billo [Ding!] and Fixed News [Ding!] came #2: plug for #1. #1: Yucks with HuffPo's Harry Shearer. Pass. Media Matters Minute: Billo [Ding!] for attacking the "innocent" Rep Wexler. Billo! [Ding!] Note that for this segment Keith had to lie, claiming:
The Frank Burns of News then speculated that Wexler was somehow trying to cheat Florida out of income tax. Fund had to inform him that Florida doesn't have an income tax. "No income tax? This is where my argument falls to the ground!"
First, here's the video:
Now, the one problem: that never happened! O'Reilly never said Wexler was trying to cheat Floriday out of income tax. And Fund didn't inform him of that, because it was O'Reilly who brought it up. Here's the actual conversation:
O'REILLY: You say it's legal. You can do that, based upon how he set it up. Now, taxes. Doesn't he have to pay taxes in both states if he has dual residency there?
FUND: Members of Congress can choose to pay taxes either in the Washington area or in their home state.
O'REILLY: OK so they have the choice. So he would pay it in Florida because Florida doesn't have a state tax. And Maryland taxes like crazy.
FUND: And you have just identified one of the big reasons he has to have this phantom residence, because that enables him to pay no state income tax.
So Olbermann lied just to smear Bill O'Reilly. But don't take our word for it. View the segment video yourself:
Why does Olbermann do this? Because he lifts his "stories" from far-left blue blogs that lie about O'Reilly, and either doesn't check or doesn't care if what they say is true or not. In this case, as the video shows, it was an obvious lie, but Keith doesn't care. Because he's a slovenly political hack, and if he can slander O'Reilly, what's one more Olbermann Lie anyhow?
Now, we ask you, will Keith Olbermann correct this lie tomorrow? Will he apologize to Bill O'Reilly for smearing him with something he clearly did not say? Will he apologize to his viewers for lifting a story from an unreliable source and not even looking at the video to check it out? What kind of an incompetent cretin doesn't even check the video before reporting? Why don't you ask those questions here?
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 807th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".
Brian Kilmeade was Worst. I hope that the 2008 Nassau County Division 1 Champion Massapequa Celtics soccer team got as huge a laugh out of their coach getting the nod as the coach himself must have gotten. When was the last time KeithO the Clown, of "The KeithO the Clown Show," played sports, let alone coached a team to a championship?
KeithO the Clown!, a slovenly political hack, and the Worst...Cable News...Personality...in the Galaxy!

P.S. Great recap, Johnny.
P.S.S. Lieberman was Worser. Hagee! [ding!] Hagee! [ding!] Hagee! [ding!] Hagee! Hagee! Hagee! [ding!] [ding!] [ding!]
Joe says Keith's too stupid for TV
On this fact we all can agree
Blue blog cut and paste
Countdown bandwidth a waste
Like its parents (MS)NBC
Does Keith still think he is a "news show?"
Keith is still pushing Rev. Hagee?? Talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
Nice to see that Keith is still inventing things O'Reilly says. If Olbermann really wants emulate his hero Joseph Goebbels, why doesn't he just take clips of O'Reilly's show and edit them so that O'Reilly is saying what ever Olbermann wants. Olbermann can photo shop his ties so that his zombies won't notice that O'Reilly is wearing different ties. It works for his Iranian friends when the want to photo shop more missiles into their arsenal.
In all seriousness, I hope Gibson calls his ass out on this latest lie.
I'm shocked!!!! ..just shocked !!!!....that KO would resort to lying to attack O'Reilly...well not really but I guess he knows he can get away with it...because it was so clear that Bill didn't say what he claims that the only way to explain KO thinking he could do it was because he knew he wouldn't face any backlash from MSNBC for doing it...New Murrow indeed.
For someone that won't pay his tax
Krazy Keith might want to check facts
O'Reilly was right
But Keith in his spite
Invents lies because ethics he lacks
Keith’s version of BOR’s conversation doesn’t even come close and it makes no sense.
These dumb voices he does makes it impossible to understand what’s coming out of his mouth.
Keith says Fox altered Robert Wexler’s picture to have bright red lips. Countdown was the one that invented altering pictures and he still does on his show on a nightly basis. He puts an eye patch on Ann Coulter, he puts the most embarrassing picture of the person he is attacking on his show, and how about the pictures with the big heads and the tiny bodies? Is that meant has flattery?
No, that’s meant to embarrass everybody he is attacking.
It’s ok when Keith does it but when Fox does it, it’s all over the blogs.
So Brian Kilmeade coach’s a little league soccer team, in my back yard and what does Keith do?
Spends all his time not fact checking his stories, twenty one minutes attacking McCain and using his show to falsely attack anybody who doesn’t see his point of view. This is the worse show on TV!!
I just read this comment over at the Hounds of Baskerville and almost passed a couple ounces of Caffeine Free Diet Coke through my nose onto my keyboard:
"I like how O'lying only invites contributers who entirely agree with his point of view. All rehearsed and marinated with the usual blow hard smear-whipping topped with displaced anger." elion | 07.23.08 - 11:59 pm | #
I'm at a loss for words. Really.
(sarcasm): Yes, BOR and contributors like Marc Lamont Hill, Lanny Davis, Jane Hall, and Geraldo Rivera entirely agree. Funny, funny stuff from the news-chihuahuas.
I prefer Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi myself, but I'll drink CF Diet Coke if there's nothing else.
Joe, you said Massapequa is in your backyard. Where on Long Island do you live? I'm in Wantagh.
One thing before I go to bed: I hope Brian dishes some payback on "Fox and Friends" later this morning. Good night.

I live in Mineola.
Howdy neighbor
The sad fact is that this will not matter to Olbermann and his blind followers. People like Olbermann do not deal with fact, they deal with hate.
It's incomprehensible how this buffoon can sit with a straight face and tell Madcow that the media has no preference between McCain and O bama. I mean, three out of his five segments are anti-McCain EVERY FRIGGIN NIGHT.
I just can't fathom that the people who put his show together could believe that ANYONE would fall for this claptrap. I've commented before on things he's said that has pissed me off, and my tirades usually involve calling him alot of insulting names, but I'm beyond that point now. I realize that he's an inconsequential turd (see, there I go again), but I really shake my head sometimes and wonder how HE can call someone like Limbaugh a comedian.
By the way, the dickhead that's on after him is almost as bad. His whole show is based on insulting other networks on screw-ups and mistakes they've made. This is a staple for just about every show on More Slanted News By Communist.
What a friggin joke!!!
Hey EddieB you SHOULD be mad, and I think that anybody who doesn't get mad from this anti-American a..hole should be ashamed of themselves.
Night after night I read the recaps that Johnny or Robert put up there (as I said before I would never watch this scum) and his delusional anti-American slant is no different that Tokyo Rose or Mata Hari.
I don't care what he looks like, or to what age the girl he's seeing, as so many others seem to care about, but what really gets me, and obviously you too along with millions of others, is his lies and anti-EVERYTHING that happens to be American.
Yes, be mad and stay that way until somebody over at that communist station decides to pull the plug on him.
Do yourself a favor too. Stop watching the a..hole, as any viewer only helps him out and his communistic cause. Even one who watches him and hates him is one more than he should have watching him...
"Night after night I read the recaps that Johnny or Robert put up there (as I said before I would never watch this scum) and his elusional anti-American slant is not different that tokyo Rose or Mata Hari."
And therein lies the quandry we both find ourselves in.......If I were to rely on the "recaps" that are presented on this site as a means to judge Keith Olbermann, then I would probably even dislike the man myself.
The problem is that you are NOT getting a balanced picture of Olbermann by reading this site any more than I would be getting a balanced picture of George Bush by relying solely on Olbermann's show.
The fact is Wolverine, you can choose not to watch the show....you can even choose to hate the host.....but you are NOT getting a balanced viewpoint about the man and his beliefs if you have only watched the show ONE time, as you have admitted.
As for your depictions of him as a "traitor" and "anti-American.....THIS is precisely where I have the biggest problem with your thinking. To me, he is anything BUT a "traitor"......and when you persist in calling someone a "traitor" who shares my worldview by about 80%, you are ALSO calling me a traitor whether you intend to or not.
What Johnny and Robert put up there is MORE than enough to see what this bitch is all about. In passing I have accidently seen about a minute or two for myself of what he has to say and it is ALL, I mean ALL biased against the establishment, and against America.
His "beliefs" as you say are so one sided against anything that even resembles logic or America that I need not watch anything more than that one minute. If I'm not believing what I'm hearing within that minute I then go to this site later to see if what I heard was actually real, and everytime I am shown that what he said he actually said.
And, as far as him being anti-American and a traitor in any other time in America he would be on trial so I would stand by that assessment 100%, but as to you being one I never said that, but if you were one to lie all the time, disregard facts, twist things to make America look bad all the time, change the facts, hide from any confrontation, mock people who can't defend themselves, disrespect the president, and ALL his constituents etc. etc. then you would be a traitor, but since I haven't seen you do this then you could not be a traitor.
Yet, on the other hand, if you feel that when he does all these things that you agree with him then you would be a traitor too. I'm pretty sure (although you'd never admit it here or to yourself) that when he does do all these things you dismiss them looking for the one time he does say something remotely close to the facts, in which you adhere to it like clue.
You're a fan Mike, and nothing more than that when it comes to this Nazi, and it would take something like him blowing up the White House for you to even think there's a chance you could be wrong on him, and even then you'd have to be shown first hand proof that he did it.
There's plenty of other people in the US Mike that are liberal like you who do not hate America who you could have hung your coat on, but unfortunately you had to pick the absolute worst of them all. The term "liberal" doesn't even come close to this phony hate filled anti- American communistic fool, and if you feel good about attaching yourself to him looking for the ONE time in every 6 months he says something even resembling an American statement, then so be it. As for me, if he ever did stand on trial and was convicted of crimes against America I would be the first in line to watch him fry...
Mike H,
Thank you for your polite, reasoned response. I agree, name calling does not advance any discourse.
It would be nice if What's His Name believed that as well. The name calling thing must be part of the 20% left over from your shared worldview with What's His Name.
"You're a fan Mike, and nothing more than that when it comes to this Nazi, and it would take something like him blowing up the White House for you to even think there's a chance you could be wrong on him, and even then you'd have to be shown first hand proof that he did it."
First off, I think I would need "proof" that anybody did anything.
That said, you are 100% wrong about me and why I think the way I do AGAIN. Understanding that so deeply makes it all to easy to see why you are also wrong about what motivates Keith Olbermann.
You are anything but a qualified judge of what constitutes an "anti-American" thought, or what makes someone a "traitor". The true definition of a patriot is anyone who speaks out for principles in which THEY personally believe will make America a better place......and NOT......someone who speaks out in support of the status quo and conventional thinking.
I held my beliefs firmly long before Keith Olbermann burst on the political scene, so simply dismissing me as a "fan" is about as disingenuous as anything else you have assumed about me.
To me, Keith Olbermann is a patriot......to you he isn't. But one difference between me and you is that I would never publicly brand Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh as "anti-American" or a "traitor", even though they never fail to infuriate me every time I tune in to their destructive-to-America belief system. They are simply misguided and seemingly very selfish to me.
Okay, moving on.
