    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 27, 2008
    Wolfson to Olbermann: I'm Not Going to Be Lectured by You!

    Keith Olbermann, who thinks Fox News is worse than the KKK, and worse than Hitler, donned his Edward R Murrow hat last night to call Democrat Howard Wolfson a "Toyko Rose" for appearing on Fox. (Apparently Olbermann, who lectures against Nazi analogies, is just fine with analogies to the Axis allies.)

    Fox News issued a colorful response, and today Howard struck back. We have the video for your viewing pleasure:

    You can see the complete interview here.

    UPDATE: Make this your open thread to discuss tonight's convention antics!

    we should all support this site below too.

    www.nohussein.com

    What a witty and accurate rebuttal by Fox's John Moody to Fat Ass and Spittlemonster. The best part of the release:

    "Like Sen. Edwards, Keith is a non-factor now that the real decisions have been made. And like Tokyo Rose, he is a fictional conflation."

    That is the best description of olby i've ever seen....."fictional conflation."

    Funny how Howard forgot to mention these Hillary attackers Hannity/O'reilly/Cavuto/Gibson/Doocy...But I suppose Fox is now paying his wages.

    Olby's Dem holier-than-thou act will blow up in his face.

    LOL. The theme song at the Dem Convention is "Love Train". This is too funny. I wonder what they had to give Hill to get her to cave in and give Obama the nomination without the floor vote. What a load.

    Olby is Batman, Chris is Robin
    Like flies to crap, moonbats are mobbin'
    Bulging eyes and flop sweat
    Prevalent on the set
    Cuz Barack Obama they're bobbin'

    Get used to HF, folks. He and that other person will contribute to the fun that always drives me away. And starting today, I'll be a good boy and not ruin your good time. After all, this is just a blog. We're supposed to have fun. Shame on me for being an uptight jerk that uses his Asperger Syndrome as an immunity idol.

    Anyway, I have the FOXNews.com Strategy Room stream up for the second day in a row. I'll probably have it up until they shut down for the night after Biden's speech.

    Thanks Mike for the warm welcome :) I'll try to be good

    Like Hillary last night...Bill & Joe will hit a couple of sixes tonight (cricket term)
    The republicans are intimidated by Joe already...Here's a quote.

    "McCain knows Biden well. He knows how good he is as a knife fighter. He'll take McCain apart," said one Republican operative.

    I would post a link but J$ dislikes them and I then tend to get in trouble.

    BOR jusdt called Melissa Etheridge "a banjo player". LOLOLOL.

    And then he said she had "some set of pipes," which meant she's good, but really loud. I agree.
    HF, you're a relief compared to the other left-leaning person here.

    "Barack Obama has officially become the presidential nominee of the Democratic party"

    Something seems to have gone terribly wrong here....Didn't the Republicans predict chaos...I suppose we shouldn't be surprised...As they're wrong on everything else.

    "HF, ...left-leaning person here."

    I'm honoured to be the 2nd left leaning person here.

    Welcome Haggisfarmer.....I think I must be that "other person" someone who posted several posts must be was referring too. I'm glad he has finally gotten into the spirit of what this is all about.

    Let's just say, Mike, that I got the spirit after Bob gave me a pep talk. :-)

    Thanks MikeH...Mice to meet you.

    Once again CNN trounces FNC during the 9/10/11pm time slots(and before OS pops up...I know CNN also beat MSNBC) ...Folk obviously know where to go for their political coverage....I'm in the UK and can't fault their coverage.

    Slick Willie is on the podium, chin jutted out in arrogance. More unity Kool-Aid for the loons to slurp. The PUMAs are roaring. The Obamas hate the Clintons and vice-versa. It's hard out there for a pimp.

    The PUMAs are roaring

    Only in the Fox news universe.

    Atta boy, Slick - get the PUMAs riled by commenting at length about your wife's campaign. Smooth. Keep mentioning Hillary's name in the same sentence with Obama's. If anyone believes that BJ Clinton wants to elect Obama, they are stupid. Now Slick is begging the PUMAs and Clintonistas to vote for Barry. Har!

    Everything BJ Clinton learned in 8 years as prez has convinced him that Barry is The One. What. a. liar. He says that Barry hit it out of the park by selecting Biden. Yeah right, which is why the ticket got a dead-cat bounce in the polls.

    The Dems have been so enraptured by Barry's scripted sermons that they forgot what an excellent speaker Slick Willie is. This might have been another Barry goof - Slick is stealing the show. Just as BJ Clinton planned.

    A place called Hope. Of course he had to get the last dig in on Barry.

    Hannity and Rove are desperately spinning.

    Rove and Hannity are right on the money - Slick made sure he was the real subject of the speech, not Barry. Americans are not stupid enough to believe him - they've heard enough lies from the Clintons. I about fell over when he chided the GOP for cronyism and favoritism. Slick was the king of each. He was fast and loose with those pardons (and other things).

    Dear HaggisFarmer.........are you nuts? Hannity and Rove aren't spinning anything but the truth. And as for the ratings, we here in the U.S.A. are only interested in the 8pm Eastern Time Zone ratings which FOX blows away msdnc, cnn and so on. Get your facts correct zorro. As for blowjob clinton, he left out the part where he sold us down the river on FREE TRADE AGREEMENT, killing jobs here in America. Yeah Haggis and MikeH, you 2 are some real pieces of work....Jesus haggis and Mike, get a shovel.

    The Clintons love Barry so much that BJ is hopping a flight out of Denver ASAP and will be nowhere near The One's sermon tomorrow. That's dedication and support. The Dems are not fooling anyone.

    "he sold us down the river on FREE TRADE AGREEMENT,"

    Yes, he WAS very wrong when he embraced that that particular RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN idea!

    Yes, we all make mistakes......Lets just don't keep right on making them by electing another republican!

    Lefty Andrea Mitchell and Libnut Debbie Wasserman Schulz are spinning like tops after Slick Willie's speech. They claim that BJ has miraculously parted the Red Sea and all of the unified Dems are walking across hand-in-hand and singing kumbaya. And monkeys are flying out my butt.

    "And monkeys are flying out of my butt."

    I bet that hurts!!

    The previously banned Mike Murphy is on MSDNC now. Fat Ass and The Drooler tried their darndest to keep him off the air, but alas they failed. The NBC suits had to let Murphy on the air to try and throw water on those nasty stories of a volatile situation within the network. Tsk tsk. The moonbats boo Murphy. Will they threaten to kill him like they did Michelle Malkin or attack him like they set upon Griff?

    Sorry MikeH, but by electing an idiot, done nothing to date Democrat will only reconfirm that OsamaObama will put us deeper into what slick willy got us into. Don't blame the republicans for something that Clinton did, don't go there Jack.

    The democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality.

    John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

    In his place Bill Clinton will be speaking.

    Sparks fly! Olby angrily barks "Let's wrap him up" to Murphy. Matthews said no one sane would agree with Murphy's support of McCain or that the Clintons will vote for McCain. Harold Ford shows class and supports Murphy and his right to his opinion after Fat Ass and The Drooler insult him.

    Let me add that with MikeH and HaggisFarmer on our board that Olbermann Watch beats out Countdown with KO with the number of opposing viewpoints allowed to be aired by 2.

    SOCalRightist.: "Don't go there jack."

    The hell you say! Back in those days, the President and the Congress worked together with something called "bipartanship"....something anyone who's only been paying attention since 2000 wouldn't know anything about.

    Free trade is a RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN idea. You just put your foot in your mouth and now you want to change the subject to John Edwards!

    I should not be shocked by now, but I cannot believe the level of rudeness that Olby and Matthews just showed their guest simply because he expressed an opinion contrary to theirs. Fat Ass and The Drooler are fascists. I hope the video is all over You Tube and every other media outlet.

    The problem with fat ass is, he just can't stand the truth. As with what just happened when Murphy was talking about the Clintons Supporting McCain.. Slobbermann can't take the heat, i'm waiting for him to explode.

    "The problem with fat ass is, he just can't stand the truth."

    Apparently, neither can you....because if you are against FREE TRADE aggreements as you implied, you can't possibly be a republican conservative!

    Do you even know what you believe?

    MikeH, no, my foot is not in my mouth. It may have been a bipartisan agenda to conduct a free trade agreement but, the people of this country were forced this crap down our throats and it could have been stopped. As for changing the subject, i'm having fun jumping all over the spectrum here tonight. I'm enjoying watching your bath tub boy slobbermann's veins pop out in his neck. That's what happens when you go down with a sinking ship.

    "we here in the U.S.A. are only interested in the 8pm Eastern Time Zone"

    So the rest of the US doesn't Matter?

    Oh, so now you want to talk about "slobbermann's veins" instead of your own misinformation about key issues that you SHOULD understand if you plan to vote intelligently.

    OK, lets talk about "slobbermann's veins". Did they pop out big time? Is he gonna run and jump in his tub after tonight? Is his live in gittin it nice and warm for him right now? Did he slobber a bunch when his veins popped out?


    Again MikeH. Just because im a Republican, does that mean that i have to be for something im against? That's the problem with you nitwit dems, you always think that whatever party you are with, you must go along with everything that party wants or does.......NOT.

    MikeH, you need to pull your head out of the sand and take a deep look at some of the crap you spew, you're looking like olby more and more each day.

    Tell me MikeH, What has obama done for this country since coming into his stature? Name one thing this shoe shine boy has done for me and you.
    Has he lowered your taxes? NO
    Has he made your life better? NO
    Has he had ANY experience with the military? NO
    Does he have any experience with global communities? NO

    So what does he bring to the table?

    "Again, MikeH. Just because im a Republican, does that means that i have to be for something im against?"

    No, but you REALLY should understand WHY you are a republican.....and putting down a democrat for going along with a REPUBLICAN adea as his biggest policy mistake hardly makes a good case as to who between the two of us really needs to "get a shovel"!

    Let's get back to discussing "Slobberman's veins".....you're much better at that!

    He's clean, neat, nice looking and articulate...oh and did a mention he's black? (The combined lines of Biden/Obama)

    SOCalRightest on Obama: "So what does he bring to the table?

    - "Does he have any experience with the Military? NO": Lets see now...I definitely have experience with the military as a veteran but would that help me be qualified for the presidency?

    - "Does he have any experience with global communities? NO": What good is "experience" when the judgement displayed has been consistantly wrong?

    - "Has he had made your life better? NO": What a stupid point! He's a Senator from Illinois. Besides, the purpose of government is not to make MY life better....It is to protect the constitution and restore worldwide respect for my countries values.

    - "Has he lowered your taxes? NO": What do MY taxes have to do with anything? I don't look to government to fullfill my personal gratifications. I still aspire to John Kennedy's great speech that we always give lip service to but hardly anyone listens to the words anymore.

    Get a shovel puleese, Cal!

    - I really don't give a damn whether he lowers MY taxes. What I care about is that he manages my country responsibly

    Olbynoxious manages to transition from Isn't that a Special Comment demanding the firing of Geraldine Ferraro after calling her a racist, then smearing Sen. Clinton and Bill Clinton with the label of casual prejudice and his subsequent Spittle Comment Part Deux's vile character assasination of Sen Clinton by reading a full three minute long laundy list of Hillary's sins against the nation, against Obama, against Democrats, against the Kennedy family, against Martin Luther King, against blacks, against hard working middle class white folks, against the electorate, against the electoral process and even for repeatedly praising Sen. McCain that "we" have forgiven her for. But for not dropping out of the race, mentioning Robert Kennedy and campaigns that last till June"We cannot forgive you for this!" followed by asking, " If she doesn‘t deliver in the way that she thinks she can on May 6th, are we now talking about retribution or the threat of retribution to get her out of the race?" and ending with, "Right. The one—somebody who can take her in a room and only he comes out that kind of a question,"

    smoothly slipping into:

    "Grand Slam! Grand slam, out of the ball park, across the street, across the buildings across the street."

    "I don't know how it could have been better. I don't know how it could have been better, Chris."

    How do you say that word?

    HYP HYP HYPO HYPO HYPOCRITE!!!!

    I don't get Wolfson saying that Olbermann has been criticizing Bill and Hillary for the last two years. Until the Messiah came and "saved" Olbermann's soul, he has been sycophantic towards the Clintons, especially BJ. I agree that Matthews has never had any real affinity towards the Clintons, but maybe Wolfson is really saying "I don't really care about these two people, do have to dignify this with a response?"

    On another topic, MikeH, is there anything wrong with wanting MY taxes lowered? Isn’t that what the dems are for: tax those rich bastards and make sure we non rich bastards don’t pay any taxes?

    By MikeH on August 27, 2008 11:08 PM

    Obamanation's judgment is good? LOL? The guy who told Georgia to stop picking on Russia. The guy who said the surge would only make things worse? The guy who can't throw his racist pastor under the bus until his racist pastor throws him under the bus. The guy who thought that going to Germany on bent knee and groveling to a bunch of Euro trash would help his poll numbers. How did that work out? The guy who wants to raise the capital gains tax when it is a proven fact that the government collect less revenue when the capital gains tax is raise. Even Bill Clinton was smart enough to lower the capital gains tax.

    Factorisms:

    1 - "The guy who told Georgia to stop picking on Russia.": Well, not exactly....but there are two sides to EVERY story....even this one.

    2 - "The guy who said the surge would only make things worse?": We're still spending billions of dollars a month we don't have on a war that never should have happened.....aren't we?

    3 - "The guy who can't throw his racist pastor under the bus until his racist pastor throws him under tha bus.": Glad you mentioned this one. You may not understand showing personal loyalty to longtime friends, even if you disagree with their ideology, but I certainly do.

    4 - "The guy who thought that going to Germany on bent knee and groveling to a bunch of Euro trash would help his poll numbers": I didn't see any "bent knees" or "groveling", nor did I see any "euro trash". Keep right on calling other people "trash" and see how it helps you and your ideology advance.

    5 - "How did that work out?": Pretty good actually, in the long run.

    6 - "The guy who wants to raise the capital gains tax when it is a proven fact that the government collect less revenue when the capital gains tax is raise.": If this is such a "proven fact", how about proving it to us proletariat? The only proven "FACT" that will find is that we finally had a budget surplus the last time a democrat occupied the White House.....but you just couldn't stand success, could you?

    7 - "Even Bill Clinton was smart enough to lower the capital gains tax.": Bill Clinton was smarter than the republicans about MOST things.....free trade excluded.

    Keep it up Factor....I love seeing what is going on in the mind of a such a hard core wight wing fanatic like yourslef.

    JustinH: "On another topic MikeH, is there anything wrong with wanting MY taxes lowered?": Not as long as lowering your taxes doesn't leave your government bankrupt and hopelessly indebted to potential enemies who can then use that debt as a hammer.

    JustinH: "Isn't what the Dems are for: tax those rich bastards and make sure we non rich bastards don't pay any taxes?": No, but they ARE for insuring that people who have benifitted handsomely from America's bounties give back a modicum percentage to the system that made them wealthy in the first place. That said, nobody thinks they are "bastards", and many wealthy Americans agree wholehardily. And finally, NOBODY is suggesting that "non rich bastards" not pay any taxes.

    - "The guy who can't throw his racist pastor under the bus until his racist pastor throws him under tha bus.": Glad you mentioned this one. You may not understand showing personal loyalty to longtime friends, even if you disagree with their ideology, but I certainly do.By MikeH on August 28, 2008 12:45 AM

    So, prior to his appearance at the National Press Club in April, Wright's rants calling on God to damn America, accusing the US of conducting genocide against Black Americans via HIV and drugs, claiming we sold WMDs to Sadaam that he used against the Iraqi people, saying America deserved to be attacked on 9/11 because we are a terrorist nation, putting on a traveling reverse minstrel show by mocking whites, calling the country The United States of White America and the US of KKK A resulted in disapproval, not disavowal, of Wright by Obama. BUT, the straw that broke the camel's back, the unforgivable sin, the act that bothered Barak the most was when Wright called him a politician, someone who talked like a politian, someone who said what he said about Wright only so he could keep his election hopes alive.
    That's absolutely the characteristic we need in a President and CIC. Someone who is more interested in defending himself than defending the country.

    Please, do not feed the church of O disciple troll, MikeH. His arguments are as old and wrong as his messiah's tactics of organization (1930's Nuremburg)....Let the Olbermann and Obama apologist languish in his delusions.

    Instead, let us all prepare for the sermon from on high! Togas are optional but make sure you are prepared to give your cell phone number and the cell phone numbers of at least 10 family/friends to the nice person with the fake smile!

    Remember while in Barackopolis there are only two rules....give us your contact information (cell phone and/or e-mail address) AND the chant is, "O-Bah-Mah' " Got it?....Then VERO POSSUMUS! Good night and good luck!

    Cee, like the other trolls who have already been called down on this blog by someone with a higher pay grade than myself, those who call other posters "trolls" for expressing ideological opinion show THEMSELVES to be the real "trolls".

    Welcome to trollhood Cee.....that makes a new low for you just when I thought it would be impossible for you to sink any lower.

    Two questions:

    1. Are you able to recognize satire?

    2. If "those who call other posters "trolls" for expressing ideological opinion show THEMSELVES to be the real "trolls" is true and your post begins, "Cee, like the other trolls who...,," what does that make you?

    But Ramjet, your characterizations regarding Pastor Wright and Obama is incorrect.

    In case you've forgotten, Obama had ALREADY publicly rejected Wright's radical worldview long before the "bus" incident. For reasons that make NO sense, you choose to fault Obama for refusing to reject a friend personally while showing revulsion for his ideas.

    If I were your personal friend and you voiced extreme opinions that I disagreed with, I would not reject YOU personally, ..... I would only reject your ideas. But if you later decided to trash me publicly in a personal manner, ..... only THEN would I reject you as a friend. This is exactly what happened regarding Obama and Wright in the exact sequence that it happened.

    It is beyond me why so many republicans are having so much trouble seeing the difference between rejecting the person....and rejecting their ideas?

    Yes, this IS a question about honor....and Obama made the honorable choice regarding Wright in BOTH instances.

    HELLO!!

    Ramjet: "What does that make you."

    It makes me what I have always been....and ideologically left of center opposition poster who expresses views Cee doesn't like and nothing more. I have NEVER tried to dictate as to who others respond to, or why.....and that is why Cee has just exposed himself as being the very thing he accused me of being.

    I don't give a damn whether anyone responds to me or not.....but it is NOT up to Cee, .... or any other GUEST on this blog .... to try to browbeat others into not responding to someone else.

    Troll alert at 12:49PM! VERO POSSUMUS!

    Jerk alert at 1:17 PM!.....Do you like where this is going Cee? You should...it mirrors your candidates decision to sink to the lowest common denominator of negativity.

    You USED to at least TRY to make coherent ideologocal arguments, even if you DID constantly sprinkle them with personal insults and cynical lies (tax rates - remember).

    Now you've sunken to the level of trying to control who other's do or do not respond too.....You are pathetic!

    It is AMAZING how my behavior is mirroring John McCain's! This world is simply amazing!

    The troll showed he is without integrity or logic LONG ago, so I recommend not wasting your time feeding his need. Even his latest argument about Rev. Wright was struck down right here at OW by little ol' me by showing the poster how Wright's rhetoric was no more personal or anti-American before and after the great SNOBamessiah speech on race (his first bite at the apple)....the primary polls showed Obama needed to cut all ties with his mentor and spiritual leader....so he did it....

    Like any pol would do....VERO POSSUMUS!

    Lastly, the troll is displaying the tendencies of a blind follower of a cult figure, SNOBamessiah can do no wrong!....there is no reasoning with him....let him go......let him go.....

    Good night and good luck.

    Yes, yes Cee......You're showing your colors again as a classic jerk, and now as the classic troll (after all, calling someone else a "troll" for expressing ideological viewpoints is, in fact, classic behavior of a troll, and trying to rally others to not respond to someone who has bested you intellectually is ALSO classic behavior of a classless troll).

    And we all know that you just LOVE to taunt people who dusagree with your dogma...in fact, that's really ALL you do (another classic manifestation of a troll). And you also just LOVE to try to get under the skin of those you can't best intellectually using ideologocal arguments.

    Now you think you've stumbled onto something you think gets under my skin, ..... and like a spoiled 3 year old who thinks they've figured out what irritates his mother.....you've now decided to do it over and over again, no matter HOW childish it makes YOU look.

    So troll away troll!

    Let the troll go......he is in 'the one's' hands now.......let him go........

    Ironically, even though you said, "But Ramjet, your characterizations regarding Pastor Wright and Obama is (sic) incorrect," we're pretty much saying the same thing regarding what occured, we just disagree on what Obama's motives were.

    I'm not going to waste time posting quotes of Obama's responses to "Wright's radical worldview" because you'll simply continue to claim his motives are loyalty and honor.
    My opinion, not claim, is that Obama's motives for what he did, when he did it, are self-serving, politically expediant efforts to maintain his viability as a candidate.

    MikeH, "In case you've forgotten, Obama had ALREADY publicly rejected Wright's radical worldview long before the "bus" incident. For reasons that make NO sense, you choose to fault Obama for refusing to reject a friend personally while showing revulsion for his ideas."

    Thank you so much for the reminder. Here's one for you: Please, do not put words in my mouth or mischaracterize what I say. I've asked you before, please don't make me have to ask you again.

    MikeH cont, "It is beyond me why so many republicans are having so much trouble seeing the difference between rejecting the person....and rejecting their ideas?" [question mark after a declarative statement, not a question]

    That it is beyond you is self evident. Obama made the difference between the sin and the sinner perfectly clear. Jeremiah Wright's verbal attacks against the country are forgivable, but the unforgivable sin was when he described Obama as a "politician."

    Now, can we please get back to the topic at hand, which I believe, is blatant hypocracy by Low Blow KO?



    What little troll (MikeH) was putting down John McCain just a couple of hours ago?....

    http://tinyurl.com/6bw3yp

    We should just let the little troll go.....let SNOBamessiah take care of him.....let him go!

    VERO POSSUMUS!

    Ramjet: "My opinion, not claim, is that Obama's motives for what he did, when he did it, are self-serving, politically expediant efforts to maintain his viability as a candidate."

    I KNOW that is what you believe Ramjet.....I just believe the opposite. I also believe that there was absolutely NOTHING he could have possibly done to win you over in that situation. All I can say with 100% honesty is that he handled the situation EXACTLY the way I feel I would have done had it been me.....and that is why I attribute his motives to be 100% honorable.

    And Ramjet, you also said; "but the unforgivable sin is when he described him as a politician.".......What is even MORE important to this discussion is the CONTEXT which Wright used to call Obama a "politician".....which was a clear attempt by Wright to imply he really does agree with him, but just can't say so BECAUSE he is a politician.

    Something else that always needs to be part of the discussion whenever this situation is discussed is the VENUE in which Wright chose to deliberately place himself in the spotlight to trash his old friend. In other words, he went out of his way to publicly trash Obama when he could have just stayed silent and aired any grievances he may have had privately. A classic case of narcissism.

    What is also bizarre to me is the FACT that McCain has flip flopped, pandered, and used political expediency so often in this campaign, that if he were running as a democrat, he would literally be crucified far worse than anything they could come up with to trash Obama with.
    You know it....and I know it!

    You and I disagree about Obama, but I hold no fantasy that I could EVER bring someone such as yourself around to my way of thinking any more than you could ever bring me around to your way of thinking, especially when contact is limited to a political blog. However, my words are not intended to do that.....they are intended for others who might casually be reading these that are not so convinced that Obama and the left are evil incarnate.

    What angers me is the unrelenting negativism being leveled at Obama by the right. It's nothing but attack .... attack ..... attack ..... attack! Very little positive is being said about your candidate by your side except to imply that he is somehow untouchable because he once had the misfortune of being a prisoner of war.

    Choosing to run campaigns like that.....and McCain HAS definitely made that choice, DESPITE vowing not to.....is what causes lingering divisions and simmering anger long after the election is over.

    Do republicans REALLY believe that the end justifies the means?

    MikeH,"I also believe that there was absolutely NOTHING he could have possibly done to win you over in that situation."

    You are wrong.

    cont, "What is even MORE important to this discussion is the CONTEXT..."

    I am fully aware of all the different aspects of the Wright chapter, including, but not limited to, the context, the conditions and the purposes.

    cont, "..."someone such as yourself..."

    Not nice! Simply saying "you" would have sufficed!

    cont, "........they are intended for others who might casually be reading these that are not so convinced that Obama and the left are evil incarnate."

    If the intention is to imply that I am convinced or suggest "that Obama and the left are evil incarnate," you owe me an apology.

    cont, "Do republicans REALLY believe that the end justifies the means?"

    You are a prejudiced individual.


    This is a thread about Low Blow KO, Wolfson, MSNBC, hypocricsy and personal slurs by the NBC/MSNBC co-host of the Democratic National Convention.


    ramjet: "If the intention is to imply that I am convinced or suggest "that Obama and the left are evil incarnate," you owe me an apology."

    &

    "Not nice! Simply saying "you" would have sufficed!"

    My, aren't you sensitive! I'm not used to that.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "You are a prejudiced individual."

    Because I am angry about another republican "Swift Boat" type campaign that refuses to deal with honest differences about real issues based on their own relative merits?

    1 - "The guy who told Georgia to stop picking on Russia.": Well, not exactly....but there are two sides to EVERY story....even this one.
    MikeH

    HA, two sides to every story. Typical National Socialist Mike. He gets a hard on for every murderous dictators in the world. So Mike now believes it is just peachy for a KGB thug to invade a sovereign democracy but the United States should have stayed out of Iraq. Mike is now proven traitor. What exactly was Georgia’s crime Mike? Too much evil capitalism? Georgia doesn’t like bread lines? You’re the moron who thinks China is too capitalist. Spin us another yarn about China’s unbridled capitalism. Your complete stupidity is only out down by you undying loyalty to the proven liar Keith Olbermann.
