    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    October 3, 2008
    Countdown: Friday Recappers Thread

    Bathtub Boy

    This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, October 3 2008.

    Welcome to You Write the Recap 2.0. This is a special thread for you to post your comments on tonight's Hour of Spin. Note everything salient: smears, distortions, bias, lies, the works. Watch the first showing, the repeat, or view the videos at the Countdown website.

    We'll go through the comments, organize them, and the best will form the nucleus of our official OlbyWatch Recap. That will be posted separately, later tonight, for maximum visibility and impact. We especially need your help documenting the shameless "journalism" of Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann tonight. You know Oralmann will be over the top in his rush to smear Palin at every corner, while overlooking or whitewashing the most embarrassing blunders of Joe Biden.

    Be an Olbermann Watch blogger--without all the muss and fuss! Comments are open: post your analysis of tonight's Hour of Spin here, and watch for your insights later tonight in the official OlbyWatch Recap.

    Tonight on the hour of spin, it will be Sarah's Mclellandgate wall to wall.

    Dogs that won't bark.

    Biden's time trip to a restaurant that closed 15 years ago.

    Pakistan found out that it has nuclear missiles that can reach Israel.

    Article 3 of the constitution magically re-wrote itself.

    Article 1 changed.

    Clean coal magically became clean again!

    Reagan magically raised tax rates in the 80's from the grave.

    Biden must be living in some altered state of reality. How can one man be so wrong on so many issues in such a short period of time (besides Olberdouche)? Seriously, they should check him for Alzheimer's.

    He says the Paki's can nuke the Jews
    Joe should tell the Israeli's the news
    On TV he'll opine
    Like 1929
    Sounds like Biden's been hittin' the booze

    The Media Matters Minute featured O'Reilly Attack #516, but not for Barney Frank.
    Worse was a male school teacher in Florida that got severely reprimanded for making an acronym out of "change" that featured the N-word. Racist!
    Worser was the aforementioned attack. Blue blog source: Jossip. http://www.jossip.com/let-bill-oreilly-moderate-the-debates-because-this-election-needs-more-lunatics-20081003/
    Original source: MarketWatch. http://tinyurl.com/43ebxp
    Billo the Clown! [Ding!] "A columnist for another Rupert Murdoch-owned entity suggested that to *liven up* the Presidential debates, Orally [Ding!] should moderate them." Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann used the Ted Baxter voice for the quotes Jossip fed to him. Oralmann's response? "The *gall* of these News Corp people to seriously complain about Chris Matthews and me simply hosting *Primary Night election coverage*...or *Convention* coverage while suggesting...that a political *hack*...who reads Talking Points [Ding!] from the Republican Party should *moderate* a *debate*!" Then came Another Olbermann Lie about the ratings. "Also, about doubling the ratings...the Vice Presidential Debate drew an estimated 70 million viewers last night. Bill O'Reilly couldn't draw 70 million viewers, let alone double it to 140 million, if he tried to jump the Snake River Canyon..." The 7th grade staff started to laugh here. "...on a motorcycle...powered only by his own *ego*!"
    "But our winner tonight, actually topping that, Rich Lowry...of National Review." A bad screencap was used for Mr. Lowry. Blue blog source: HuffPo. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/03/inris-rich-lowry-palin-se_n_131735.html
    Original source: The Corner on National Review Online. http://tinyurl.com/4haf92
    For writing that the Governor's smile in last night's debate "sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America," KeithO the Klown made graphic implications. "...When your opinion starts to read like *soft-core porn*...you may be explaining more about Sarah Palin's appeal to the far-right [Ding!] than you want." Fat Ass read Lowry's missive in a soft voice, adding pauses and pleasurable sighs where not intended. The everdropping-in-grades staff laughed again. At the conclusion of the overdramatic reading, Keith "I've run out of nicknames for him" Olbermann grinned and implied that Mr. Lowry...did things, then asked: "But was it really necessary to tell America about it?" Keith laughed his way through the closing crescendo and made more climactic assumptions. Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. To steal a line from Mlong, new Murrow indeed!!!

    Correction for Johnny:
    The Media Matters Minute featured O'Reilly Attack #516, but not for Barney Frank, and a vile attack on Rich Lowry.

    Again with Bill O'Reilly and ratings! I think Keith has size envy.

    Listen, Keith. It's not the size of your audience, it's how you misinform it. And you're doing just fine with what you've got.

    It looks like we don't have enough material for a recap tonight. Thanks guys, especially MikeC for your WPitW recap, but we need more participation.

    Maybe I should spin-off my recaps into separate posts?

    #5 Theme: Palin is a know-nothing and liar (Keith calls her one twice, in addition to saying she lied 12 times during the debate). Chris Hayes piles on. Her debate performance is attacked. Number of times Biden was criticized or called out for talking points? Zero.

    #4 Theme: Palin is Neo-Bush. Stock left-wing tactic this election season-- tie the Republican candidate to the unpopular president of the same party. Unconvincing video montage of Bush/Palin using similar phrases.

    #3 Theme: Nothing noteworthy.

    #2 Theme: WPITW-

    Bronze: Some guy.

    Silver: "Bill-O the Clown". Calls Bill a "political hack who reads talking points from the Republican Party" in the context of him hypothetically moderating a debate. Yes, it's true. Keith just called somebody *else* a hack. And didn't Scott McClellan *apologize* to Bill O'Reilly, admitting that O'Reilly, in fact, did NOT accept White House talking points?

    Gold: Rich Lowry is a masturbating pervert. He's not, but it turns Keith on to think he is.

    #1 Theme: Keith still recovering from WPITW Gold.

    "Olbermann grinned and implied that Mr. Lowry...did things"

    He's projecting again.
    Someone needs to explain to Keithy that just because HE is a compulsive masturbator, it doesn't mean everyone else is.

    okay friendly wager between everyone here...how long until til ko melts down or does something that gets him fired? whoever's closest wins a lifetime supply of "great thanks" and bathtowels

    Five years.

    If Obama wins, he'll retire. His work is done...at least on TV.

    By the way, last night's Worst Person was on the "Fox News Watch" panel earlier this evening.

    NewsBusters' Noel Sheppard has chimed about the vile Lowry attack:
    http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/10/05/olbermann-nros-lowry-masturbated-during-palin-debate
    Why the hell does GE/NBC love Keith so much? I didn't think of saying this Friday night, but that kind of attack should get this cretin fired. Of course, that will never happen. As long as the ratings and ratings growth continue to pour in, they don't give a crap. "Hell, yeah," Immelt, Zucker, Capus, and Griffin all exclaim. "Give it to that masturbating n**con! And, as our beloved freedom fighters cried at the conventions, f*** Fox News!" Am I anywhere near what Olby's bosses are thinking?

    sounds like wpitw material for me

    Crude.

    Proof that Olby's audience is nothing more than a bunch of lowlife, morally-bankrupt, sheep. You think Brokaw would be caught dead watching that guy in the back room?

    Disgusting filth on prime time.

    GE ought to take a long, hard look at their prize.

    "Proof that Olby's audience is nothing more than a bunch of lowlife, morally-bankrupt, sheep."

    Yes sirree! Disgusting ad hominem personal attacks on his entire audience will get your somewhere every time, ..... it's also one fine way to display your own character and morals.

    Mike C: "But that kind of attack should get this cretin fired."

    And if that is the case, your own hero should definitely be fired for the way he screamed and yelled at Barney Frank while calling him a coward. Nothing he did justified being treated like that on a TV show!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Mike C: "Am I anywhere near what Olby's bosses are thinking?"

    No Mike, because NOBODY alse thinks like you do!

    MikeH:
    "Yes sirree! Disgusting ad hominem personal attacks on his entire audience"


    Ad hominem attack? Well....let's review what I said, piece-by-piece. We'll let the readers decide whether or not I was being unfair.

    "lowlife": Olby's shtick appeals to the least common denominator that is prominent throughout the Left of today. To deny so, is to deny the sky is blue. I certainly would not associate with anyone who eagerly anticipates every night a mention of whores, a US party being equated with terrorists, and masturbation. Would you?

    "morally-bankrupt": Do you approve of Olby's use of language to skewer those with contrarian views, simply because they have.....*gasp*....contrarian views? If you do, you are without a doubt, "morally bankrupt".

    "sheep": Of all of the reprehensible garbage spewing from The Goon's mouth since you've been a member, I've never read a single criticism from you.

    Now...maybe you'll come back with some witty, obscure point where you somewhat-maybe-yeah-sure have voiced a contrary opinion at some time, but don't think a response like, "I have my own views, and by no means agree with everything he says," actually flies for a Goon who conducts a show that appeals to the least common denominator, "lowlife", "morally-bankrupt", "sheep" prominent throughout the Left.

    Bill O. did exactly what ALL Americans sgould do, scream at the top of their lungs at Barney Frank and tell him not ask him but tell him to resign NOW.
    MikeH wrote: And if that is the case, your own hero should definitely be fired for the way he screamed and yelled at Barney Frank while calling him a coward. Nothing he did justified being treated like that on a TV show!

    Give me a fricking break mike. He condoned everything that fannie and freddie did and has done while covering up the mess. Barney Frank said over and over that nothing was wrong with their system. Well look at what happened.
    Obviously mikeH, nobody thinks like YOU do either. This was totally a democratic mess and just if yheir should be any repub's involved, they're just as much to blame. It's time to clean house, starting with Pelosi, Waters,Frank, Dodd, Shumer....ect.etc.

    Oh goodie, a SPECIAL COMMENT from the dork is planned....

    http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/6/172419/580/460/621962


    ###
    He shows his great knowledge of The Bible though,

    "But back to the point: there's that biblical passage the Governor's forgettin about readin, about how hockey moms who are livin in glass houses shouldn't a be throwin stones!"

    Please Mr. Olbermann, tell us all the chapter and verse of that biblical passage.

    Cliches, biblical wisdom....all the same to the leftist hater, Keith Olbermann.

    VERO POSSUMUS!

    Well Lucascorp, as long as 'goons' like O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, gibson, and the rest of this sorry trash exists, I'm afraid you're just going to have to tolerate the Olbermann's of the world......However, unlike you, I'm not going to trash the character of all those who listen to those aforementioned right wing spewers of garbage....only their poor judgement

    Now that's an original comeback.

    Baa.

    LucasCop: "Now that's an original comeback."

    But far more original than breaking out WilliamAyers again.

    It also doesn't explain why you just called a whole group consisting of millions of viewers "lowlifes" just because they disagree with you.

    GREAT comment Keith!

    Olbermann is getting worried that Sarah is showing some balls and comin after OsamaObama. His special Komment was the usual lie lie lie, blah blah blah. Bottom line here is that Obama is going to have to face the music when asked, why are you so close to Ayers? It's a shame that Brokaw is hosting the debate and not Olby, oh wait, I forgot, Olby is in the tank for Barrack Hussien Obama and that would be predudicial.

    Yeah right Keifh, another great Komment

    SoCal: "Olbermann is getting worried that Sarah is showing some balls and comin after OsamaObama."

    Wrong AGAIN SoCal. Sarah's "balls" are doomed to backfire!

    Sarah has yet to demonstrate that she even has a minimal grasp of National and foreign affairs, so all she can to do is spread lies and smears about the top of the other ticket. I guess she isn't lying about how she opposed bridge boondoggles that she actually supported anymore.

    I suspect many Americans have also noticed how Palin's dishonorable flurry of attack lies came at exactly the same time Biden was attending his mother in law's funeral.

    Now how about telling us exactly where Olbermann lied in his truth filled backlash to Palin's dishonorable smears?

    MikeH:
    99.0% of anything Slobberman says is a lie.
    The SMEARS are totally coming out of slobbermans mouth. Anyone who has spent as much time as Olby has done on smearing Palin has to be extremely overwhelmed by the truths that Palin has mentioned in her speeches. After all, it's not worth it for Palin to lie when she's running for VP as opposed to Slobberman who works for the lowest rated cable show on TV.

    SoCal: "99.0% of anything Slobberman says is a lie."

    I specifically ASKED you to tell me WHAT about his Sarah Palin comment was a "lie"? I heard it, and everything he discussed I had already heard about and has been verified. I also gave one very much verified example of a Sarah Palin lie regarding her bridge.

    If you don't have anything but baseless accusations to throw around, then please just shut the hell up!

    Thank you.

    Once again mikeH, you took and ran with a comment from Palin that she said earlier in her career about the bridge without following up with her secondary comment about the bridge that she was against.
    So in effect, I think that you should go to hell or go back to your daily kos family where you belong. You are a nuisance here spewing your garbage. You don't mix with our beliefs so why try and push your crap on us.

    SoCal: "you took and ran with a comment from Palin that she said earlier in her career about the bridge without following up with her scondary comment about the bridge that she was against."

    LOL......You mean she was for it before she was against it?......But only after it was already a national boondoggle and effectively dead. No, you're not getting away with that BS SCR, and neither is Palin.

    Now I'm going to ask you AGAIN:......Please explain to us exactly WHERE KO "lied" about Palin in his special comment? Which was nothing other than a truthful backlash to some of the filthiest and nastiest campaigning I have ever witnessed.....based on LIES!

    It WILL backfire!

    I am a "nuisance" here to you because I don't fit with your comfortable little bobblehead world of KO and Obama bashers.......Grin and bear it whiner!

    BTW, if you want to know what my favorite website is, it's REALCLEARPOLITICS, and definitely NOT KOS. Try it for once....you'll see a little balance for a change.

    How can it be real clear when everything you spew is one sided? Backfire..... I don't think so. The only backfire around here is you going round and round in circles with your rhetoric.

    MikeH, I went to you fav website and checked them out. Just as I thought, 99.999% liberal newspapers,mags, etc. Not much there in the way of 50/50? By the way all, check this one out.
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081008/ap_on_el_pr/palin_hacked

    SoCal, I already had you pegged as terminally dumb, but if you think REALCLEARPOLITICS is "liberal", then you must also be somewhere to the right of Attilla the Hun.

    SO you think WIlliam Kristol is "liberal" huh? He has a piece almost every day on there.....How about George Will?.....The Wall Street Journal?.....I could go on and on.

    You will never find a more balanced site than REALCLEARPOLITICS, with equal numbers of opinion pieces on BOTH sides than you will find there.

    I said what I said in regards to your Realclearpolitics due to the fact that they feed from the New York times, L.A. times, the post, etc.
    So dumb ass, whenever I see these types of news services that are extremely to the left, I run.
    Don't bother to reply, got to go watch Bill O now.

    SoCal: "So dumb ass, whenever I see these types of news services that are extremely to the left, I run."

    And thats why you will remain an ignoramous! You "run" from the truth!

    Let it be shown that Southern California Rightist has just admitted he will not read any source that publishes both sides of an argument.

    mike mike mike, just can't get away from that keyboard can you? You are one sorry idiot that just can't stop can you. I don't run from the truth, I just don't see any coming from your news sources. Since when does the new york times publish both sides of the issues?
    Blow it out your Ass MikeH, you are the perfect infection that infects this country.

    SoCal: "mikemike mike, just can't get away from that keyboard can you?......But you're such an easy kill SoCal. It's fun or I wouldn't be wasting time sparing with a moron like yourself. Every post you make makes my side look that much better.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SoCal: "I don't run from the truth, I just don't see any coming from your news sources.".......Well, you've already admitted that you "run" from a source that includes commentaries from the Weekly Standard, The New York Post, and many other conservative sources. You only want to be fed one side, my friend. That's called brainwashing.

    You can't take it back that you've already admitted that you are so much of a coward that you "run" from anything that doesn't validate your right wing brainwashing.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    So my challenge to you remains unanswered......Kindly show me where Keith Olbermann lied in his commentary about the lying Sarah Palin?

    Sarah Palin is not a liar like Obama.
    I have given you an answer to your question in regards to the bridge, as for anything else that Slobbermann said about Palin, I must have turned off the tv due to the fact that I can only stomach so much of Bathtub Boy. MikeH, when we lived in Southern California for 50 years, we watched Keith do sports out in L.A. on cbs channel 2. He was run out of town out there and went to the east for work. He was a hack back then and is the most deplorable hack there is now. A true commentator looks at both sides of the issues and DOES NOT choose sides only to spew hatred, lies, and false accusations as he does. His infatuation with Bill O is beyond anyones wildest dreams. But then again, look at the network he's working for. As for Slobbermanns Special Komments, I take all of them with a grain of salt for they are mostly leftwing slanted lies of the right and only conjure up mass hatred from the left directed to the right. Not once has the hack himself taken on a face to face interview from the opposition, knowing that he will be smacked down, bitch slapped and wiped out for being wrong on almost every issue. How can you or anyone defend such an idiot? As much as I am a true Conservative, our Republican leaders have become the wimpiest bunch I have ever seen. On the otherhand, the Dems (mainly Pelosi, Reed, Frank and a host of others) turned out to be cutthroats. If Pelosi does not want a confrontation, she sends all of her people out on vacation. Our Congress and Senate has the worst approval ratings in history. Our President is right there with them also. But to elect a Marxist as President of this Country would ruin us for ever. God Bless this Country, we're gonna need it.

    SoCal: "Sarah Palin is not a liar like Obama. I have given you an answer to your question in regards to the bridge, as for anything else that Slobbermann said about Palin,"

    Yes, you've given an "answer", but your answer was wrong as usual.

    Palin's false bridge claim has been thoroughly and COMPLETELY debunked by a muriad of independant sources. YOU are the one who admits that he "runs" from any expressed point of view that doesn't match your brainwashing, so stop pretending that I get my facts from the likes of Keith Olbermann. The real question you should ask yourself is what do you have to fear from reading or listening to various opinions?

    Sorry, but your republican president has already ruined this country. He started with a budget surplus and a sound economy and here is where we find ourselves at the end of 8 years. What you have seen is what will eventually happen EVERY time free markets are allowed to run wild with no regard for ethics. Unfortunately, the inevitable backlash is now upon us, which has caused the pendulum to swing back much farther in the direction of government intervention than even I would have ever advocated.


    Dear MikeH. My answer was NOT wrong but only as YOU percieve it. Why is it that you are the only one that disagrees with anything anyone says on here? Oh, I guess it's all of us. Your bullshit is just what it is, bullshit. And as for our republican president, it was not just himself that has ruined this country, he was handed the reigns at a time when Clinton took this country in a downward trend, so don't hand me your bag of tricks on that one bozo. Up until 2 years ago, we were in pretty good shape. The stock market was at the highest in history one year ago to this date. What has Bush done in the past year to make this economy dwindle? Personally, I blame your idiot Dems for walking out on important issues, telling us that fannie and freddie were ok for all these years, not wanting to secure our borders, the list goes on and on.
    I do read and listen to various opinions and just so you know, some from the middle catch me wanting to hear more. But when I listen to morons like olbermann, or pretty much anyone on msdnc, well anyone that can ride a bicycle can smell skunk. You seem to be too caught up to realize who ALL is to blame here. I just want the TRUE facts and take them from as many sources as possble. Unfortunately, your guy Olbermann only gets his facts from loonie websites, lefty blogs and uninformed information from his boss.

    free markets are allowed to run wild with no regard for ethics.

    Sorry, but your republican president has already [ruined] this country.

    by mikeh

    ruin: to damage irreparably

    >You are still here, why? Voting for obama, why?

    ">You are still here, why? Voting for Obama, why?"

    Your first question was actually a fairly good one......But your second question is one of the stupidest ones I've ever been asked.

    That's right, MikeH thinks the world of Barney and Dodd and I think he has a crush on Waters. Waters said it herself in a hearing, she wants to socialize oil. What else does she want to socialize?
    Olby Sucks, if you are looking for an answer from mikeH, good luck. Back when he first came on here, I thought ok, just maybe we'll see what he has. Now some months into his comments, we're seeing how much of a loon he really is. Oh well, you can't make them all happy.

    SoCal, are you going to answer my question about exactly WHERE Olbermann lied about Palin in his special comment?....Or are you going to just keep right on bloviating while using a lot of words and saying nothing.

    YOU made the accusation......it's high time that you backed it up!

    It's high time...woooo hoooo, back it up!
    Just for you mikeH, who elected you the judge?
    And just because you think you can keep on pushing the issue, no, i'm not ready to answer your question, but with that in mind, i'm sure you'll come back with some other sort of moronic aptitude against me. Oh well.
    You must be watching Bill O, since he uses the word "bloviating" allot. I always knew you would come over to our side sooner than later.
    Can't wait for your reply......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Just as I thought!

    Whether olbamamann lies or not can be debated

    He has a way of lying by omitting certain pertinent facts

    What is obvious at this point is olbamamann is doing the lefts and people like soros, moveon.cult and the daily kazis' dirty work on msnbc along with maddow and matthews

    I just cant believe he doesn't realise how desperate he looks

    "I just can't believe he doesn't realise how desperate he looks."

    But does he look as desperate as the Republican nominee for prseident looks right now?

    Your first question was actually a fairly good one......

    by mikeh

    Yes. It fell on deaf ears, though. As hundreds of others have..........

    Olby Sucks: "Yes. It fell on deaf ears, though. As hundreds of others have.........."

    The problem with your analysis is that neither myself or this site are here to grant your wishes.

    I bring something far more substantial than you ever have brought to this site. This is so not because we happen to disagree on issues, but because you have never done anything here but taunt and jeer your opposition.

    "...... you have never done anything here but taunt and jeer your opposition." By MikeH on October 10, 2008 8:53 PM

    Definition of projection: see above

    Ramjet: "definition of projection: see above"

    If you were intellectually honest, you would never have made such an assertion, but intellectual honesty is not something I have come to expect from most posters on this site.

    To compare what Olby Sucks has a history of doing here to what I have a history of doing on this site is preposterous, and I know that you know that, even as I also know that you will never admit it.

    As an example, I would never have characterized YOU as someone who does nothing but taunt and jeer, even though that is exactly what you DID do above ,..... but I WILL acuse you of being so hopelessly politically motivated that you find it impossible to break away from partisan team play on this blog even when you know in your heart that your team member is wrong.


    1.) "To compare what Olby Sucks has a history of doing here to what I have a history of doing on this site is preposterous, and I know that you know that, even as I also know that you will never admit it."

    Made no such comparison. I didn't even read what OS wrote.

    2.) "As an example, I would never have characterized YOU as someone who does nothing but taunt and jeer, even though that is exactly what you DID do above ,..... but I WILL acuse you of being so hopelessly politically motivated that you find it impossible to break away from partisan team play on this blog even when you know in your heart that your team member is wrong."

    Saying you would never do something and then immediately doing it is not good debate strategy, but it does fit the projection description. My comment was not politically motivated, it wasn't even partisan. I'm not on a team here, but there are a few posters I wouldn't mind spending an afternoon BSing with while partaking of a cold beverage. And as far as knowing in my heart my alledged team member was wrong, like I said above, I didn't even know what he wrote.

    3.) "If you were intellectually honest, you would never have made such an assertion..."

    I saved the best for last. Beginning your response by taunting and jeering kind of makes my point for me, if I had been trying to make a point. You really need to go in for a sense of humor check. I think your running at least a couple of quarts low.
    But just for the heck of it, let;s review the thread for taunts and jeers:

    a.)Yes sirree! Disgusting ad hominem personal attacks on his entire audience will get your somewhere every time, ..... it's also one fine way to display your own character and morals.

    b.)And if that is the case, your own hero should definitely be fired for the way he screamed and yelled at Barney Frank while calling him a coward. Nothing he did justified being treated like that on a TV show!
    .....
    No Mike, because NOBODY alse thinks like you do!

    c.) Well Lucascorp, as long as 'goons' like O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, gibson, and the rest of this sorry trash exists, I'm afraid you're just going to have to tolerate the Olbermann's of the world......However, unlike you, I'm not going to trash the character of all those who listen to those aforementioned right wing spewers of garbage....only their poor judgement

    d.) But far more original than breaking out WilliamAyers again.

    It also doesn't explain why you just called a whole group consisting of millions of viewers "lowlifes" just because they disagree with you.

    e.) Wrong AGAIN SoCal. Sarah's "balls" are doomed to backfire!

    Sarah has yet to demonstrate that she even has a minimal grasp of National and foreign affairs, so all she can to do is spread lies and smears about the top of the other ticket. I guess she isn't lying about how she opposed bridge boondoggles that she actually supported anymore.

    I suspect many Americans have also noticed how Palin's dishonorable flurry of attack lies came at exactly the same time Biden was attending his mother in law's funeral.

    f.) If you don't have anything but baseless accusations to throw around, then please just shut the hell up!

    g.) I am a "nuisance" here to you because I don't fit with your comfortable little bobblehead world of KO and Obama bashers.......Grin and bear it whiner!

    h.) SoCal, I already had you pegged as terminally dumb, but if you think REALCLEARPOLITICS is "liberal", then you must also be somewhere to the right of Attilla the Hun.

    i.) And thats why you will remain an ignoramous! You "run" from the truth!
    Let it be shown that Southern California Rightist has just admitted he will not read any source that publishes both sides of an argument.

    j.) But you're such an easy kill SoCal. It's fun or I wouldn't be wasting time sparing with a moron like yourself. Every post you make makes my side look that much better.------
    You can't take it back that you've already admitted that you are so much of a coward that you "run" from anything that doesn't validate your right wing brainwashing.

    k.) But your second question is one of the stupidest ones I've ever been asked.

    l.) The problem with your analysis is that neither myself or this site are here to grant your wishes.

    I bring something far more substantial than you ever have brought to this site. This is so not because we happen to disagree on issues, but because you have never done anything here but taunt and jeer your opposition.
    =================

    Here we are, back where we started. I read OS's two posts. If we're having a "taunt and jeer" contest, I don't think it's fair that an amateur has to compete with a professional. OS doesn't stand a chance unless you spot him 4 or 5 taunts and at least a couple jeers.


    Thanks RamJet
    Although your insertions of what MikeH has said about me and my ideas and comments leave mikeh wondering who I am and why I am a conservative, I shrug him off as an extreme left wing stooge that thinks that he can go over the top of me and most people here. Most of us have learned here that MikeH's ideologies come from a person that has been harbored and coddled most of his life. His attacks from the left leave one to only imagine why he supports people like Farakhan, Ayers, Wright, Acorn, Barney Frank, Obama, Olbermann and a long list of others. In the past 2 years has anybody noticed how the economy has gone flat? Let's look back to when this started.
    A. Nancy Pelosi and company took over.

    B. Obama comes into the picture.

    C. Most recently, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others tell all that Fannie and Freddie were just fine and that there was nothing wrong.

    D. As recent as yesterday, people at rallies for McCain are flying off the handle saying how Obama is a Arab, Muslim, Socialist, Marxist etc. People are flying mad at what has happened to this country and around the world. All it took was one man to throw a wrench into the machinery and wreak havoc for the whole world.

    By MikeH on October 10, 2008 8:53 PM


    Thanks for proving ME right.

    "People are flying mad at what has happened to the country and around the world"

    Yes, but those on the left have sense enough who it is they need to be mad at, while people like that moronic woman who called Obama an "Arab" will never figure it out.

    If "All it took was one man to throw a wrench into the the machinery and wreak havoc for the whole world", then it must have been one hell of a poor system!

    Ramjet, I won't bother to go down your entire laundry list of out-of-context quotes that don't bother to take into account what they were in response to, I'll just take you FIRST point, and use that as an example:

    When I said that I would never characterize you of doing nothing but taunt and jeer, I made a complete statement that had to be taken in it's entirety in order to grasp it's meaning. For unexplaained reasons, you chose to throw out the word "nothing" (a VERY key word indeed) in order to assert that I had done something that I had just said I would never do. You cannot simply delete key words within a statement because then it becomes just another example of intelletual dishonesty.

    My statement cleaarly asserts that Olby Sucks NEVER does anything but taunt and jeer......but it does NOT assert that just because you did it once in the example I gave above that I am accusing you of doing it all the time (as Olby Sucks does).

    Sorry Ramjet, but you have to read and undeastand the ENTIRE statement.

    Maybe that is the whole problem!

    The woman who called Obama an Arab is one of the very few that is the misfortunate to listen and read and get correct information on the candidates. As a neighbor who lives in our subdivision that is from Jordan, is a doctor, he has stated over and over that once a muslim always a muslim.
    No mikeH, the system is not poor, but is corrupt. You know it and everybody else knows it, McCain and Obama are not what our real choices are or were. These 2 people were forced onto us and we must live with those choices. Do you really think we want a guy who is a lawyer (shark) in the White House that is more left leaning than Jimmy Carter ever was? Do we really want a guy that was a POW but is lax on economic values? Personally, I don't ever want to see another lawyer run this country again. Again, it's not a poor system, IT'S JUST CORRUPT AND IT'S TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE.


    When I said that I would never characterize you of doing nothing but taunt and jeer, I made a complete statement that had to be taken in it's entirety in order to grasp it's meaning.

You cannot simply delete key words within a statement because then it becomes just another example of intelletual dishonesty.

    ===============

    I'll recap "exactly" what you question and let the folks decide:

    2.) "As an example, I would never have characterized YOU as someone who does nothing but taunt and jeer, even though that is exactly what you DID do above ,..... but I WILL acuse you of being so hopelessly politically motivated that you find it impossible to break away from partisan team play on this blog even when you know in your heart that your team member is wrong."

    Saying you would never do something and then immediately doing it is not good debate strategy, but it does fit the projection description. My comment was not politically motivated, it wasn't even partisan. I'm not on a team here, but there are a few posters I wouldn't mind spending an afternoon BSing with while partaking of a cold beverage. And as far as knowing in my heart my alledged team member was wrong, like I said above, I didn't even know what he wrote.

    You would "never characterize" but you certainly don't have a problem asserting "that is exactly what you DID do above..."

    As they say in basketball circles, "Nothing but......nothing.":-)

    A very good read below.
    I was just channel surfing when I came across msdnc reporting from Florida talking to voters and a woman who is Democrat said she is voting for McCain due to the fact that Obama ran for Illinois Senate under a dual party platform. Well, I started to research it and low and behold what did I find?
    http://archive.redstate.com/stories/elections/2008/barack_obama_sought_the_new_partys_endorsement_knowing_it_was_a_radical_left_organization

    I told you he was a socialist.

    A great read SoCal, but does it really matter? I mean, the left will say that it's just another lie against their savior and more dirty tricks from McCain if he ever went with the story.

    We now live in a Bizzarro World, where the truth is abhored, and a lie is glorified. The truth is the worst thing it seems, because the more McCain/Palin bring it up, the more people decide to vote for the other guy.

    Obama's history keeps showing us things like this article about what he's really about, and very unfortunately nobody will make anything of it.

    This election has absolutely nothing to do with ones character, or to ones past, NOR to the truth, as it has ALL to do with who is the better speaker and the color of ones skin.

    Hey, when I lived in Washington DC (85% black) Mayor Bradley was caught on tape taking money and bribes, while doing drugs, and after he was taken out of office the people RE-ELECTED him when he ran for office again.

    Nothing's changed, only that the stakes are much higher...

    Rev Wright was his mentor...Who Cares?
    His wife was never proud of this country...Who Cares?
    Ayers got him started...Who Cares?
    He secured his first political win through a fusion system that is now illegal...Who Cares?
    He said his mother was racist...Who Cares?
    His whole political agenda goes against everything this democratic country stands for...Who Cares?
    Etc...

    But, he's black and he's proud, and speaks well, now THAT is something to talk about...

    Speaking of the lack of candor and reporting in this campaign, there was an excellent WSJ analysis of Obama's radical redistribution plan that will actually incentivise working LESS because as people earn more under Obama's tax plan, they receive less of his proposed tax credits, even at low incomes of around 40,000....The middle class is being screwed again by a democrat!....

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257.html

    Simple redistribution of people's money under the lie that is a "tax cut" plan....VERO POSSUMUS!

    Thanks Wolverine
    With exception though, Mayor Bradley was the mayor of los angeles California and it was Marion Barry who was mayor of D.C.
    The difference between the 2 black mayors were, Bradley was a GOOD, retired l.a.p.d. cop turned mayor who ran a tight ship, I know from experience as I am a retired cop from L.A. also and worked with him under his term. On the other hand, Marion Barry was a cocaine head from the get go. That is the difference between the blacks of D.C. and L.A. But then again, the blacks out in L.A. said "go o.j. go".
    I wish that it is not true of how you speak of nothing to do with ones character, or to ones past, NOR to the truth, as it has ALL to do with who is the better speaker and the color of ones skin. If our country has to stoop to these low levels then we are in deep trouble.

    My bad SoCal, and you're right Barry was who I meant...And as far as this country being in "deep trouble" well if the discussions I've had with the people at work are any indication of why people are voting for obama deep trouble may be an understatement:

    To the answers to my question about why they are voting for obama...
    (I got the ok from the president of my company to take this poll as long as it was anonymous)

    "Because he's black, man"

    "I don't know, but I think it will be good to have a black run the country"

    "No offense, but I just don't trust whites"

    "A black guy can't do any worse than Bush"...when I explained that Bush wasn't running..."they're all the same"

    "I'm tired of McCain and Palin making up all these lies about obama and his past"

    "Hey, all those things he did were in the past. Who cares what he did in the past?"

    "God! Are you kidding? McCain looks like he's scared to death to be on the same stage as obama. Obama is so eloquent"

    "What did Ayers do anyway that was so bad? Big deal!"

    " I couldn't vote for anyone else"

    "I'm voting for him because all the whites are going to vote for McCain"

    "McCain wants to keep us in Iraq for 100 years"

    "Obama will lower taxes for 95% of America"

    "Wright was right in all he said about America"

    Then there were these gems:

    "I don't believe all the stories about McCain and Viet Nam"

    "I'm not sure that McCain wasn't in on it with Bush"...I asked "In on what?"..."Come on man, you know what I'm talking about...9/11...Katrina"

    "I'd never vote for a rascist"

    "Because we need change"...When I said that McCain could bring change too..."Yeah right, and we landed on the moon too" (I kid you not)

    "Don't tell me you're voting for that cracker?"

    "Because obama went through so much while growing up, and McCain has the IQ of a turtle"

    and the rest...

    "Obama's smart"

    "Because he knows how to talk"

    "He cares about us"

    Now I have about 30 more people to go and I don't know who they're voting for, but these were the answers I got in regards to why they're voting for him. I also had about 10 people who are voting for McCain, and outside of two they all made sane arguments as to why they are voting for him.

    "Deep trouble"...Who Cares?

    Pushing aside the obvious racist overtones of the post directly to the north of this one, it completely disregards the fact that Obama's general demographic has a higher level of education than McCain's.

    While it may give you ideological comfort to believe that some will vote for Obama out of ignorance, you ignore the fact that at least as many will vote for McCain for the same reasons. Sorry, but It is NOT a revelation that some will always cast their vote out of ignorance or prejudice, but rest assured that neither side has a monpoly in this regard.

    Pushing aside the obvious racist overtones of the post directly to the north of this one, it completely disregards the fact that Obama's general demographic has a higher level of education than McCain's.

    Well, I don't know how "obvious" I made it because the exact wording was a lot more racial than what I put down. I toned down their responses, so as not to make it obvious to what race said what, but I guess no matter how politically correct one tries to be it will never be enough for some. The racial makeup, by the way, was 24 whites, 3 Hispanics and 5 blacks if that clears it up for the politically correct minded side of you.

    And, as for the "education" part of your reply, 17 of those polled who are voting for obama have either gone to college or are presently in college, so it doesn't say a whole lot for our education system, and brings us back to my reply that we are in deep trouble.

    As far as being idealistic, that is what someone would say who doesn't want to hear the truth, because in their "idealistic" world they have to believe that the people who are voting for this socialistic bleeding heart, really took the time and looked at what both men have accomplished and what they offer to come up with their decision without any prejudice involved.

    Sorry MikeH, the one thing I have never been called in my life is idealistic, and it is the furthest from the truth when it comes to me, so I get no "comfort" in hearing all these reasons as to why these people are voting for obama.

    Comfort is the last thing I have gotten so far from these responses, and the word I would use that stands out like a soar thumb through it all is...sadness. Sadness, in knowing how the possibility that the next president of the US may have gotten elected because of the supreme stupidity and prejudice's from his voters who disregarded all the important reasons (at least from what I've gotten from my small poll) as to why one should vote for the president.

    To disregard experience, past history, makeup, honesty, loyalty, serving, etc. all because one man can speak better or because he's black will give me no comfort at all if obama is elected.

    However, if he is elected, I will back him like I have every other president of the United States, because he will be the president of the greatest country the world has ever seen. He will be MY president...

    Sorry Wolverine but one can only take so much. Let's just say that Obama does make it in and down the road he starts showing signs of socialism, I for one cannot support a President that would take this country in that direction, with that in mind, he WOULD NOT be MY president. That is NOT what this country is all about.
    Your line as for " To disregard experience, past history, makeup, honesty, loyalty, serving, etc. all because one man can speak better or because he's black will give me no comfort at all if obama is elected." is very well put and it is too bad that more people can't read that sentence and decifer its meaning.
    Thank you for your post.

    SoCal: "Your line as for "To disregard experience, past history, makeup, honesty, serving, etc. all because one man can speak better or because he's black will give me no comfort at all if Obama is elected" is very well put and it is too bad that more people can't read that sentence and decifer it's meaning."

    I don't think too many people have a problem decifering the meaning of that statement. It's just that they (we) strongly disagree with the assertion that McCain somehow trumps Obama in those categories. We have a patriotic duty to challenge assertions that we believe are made based on false premises.

    Let's just say that Obama does make it in and down the road he starts showing signs of socialism...

    I too would have the hardest time of my life having to deal with that scenario, but then again Lyndon Johnson came along (although Kennedy started it) and wreaked havoc with his welfare programs and somehow we still remained strong.

    I just don't think that if obama is elected that he would try to implement any blatant socialistic reforms because I believe that the American public wouldn't stand for it.

    Of course if he did, and it was obvious that he was going that route, then like you I would probably change my undying support for the president, but I pray and believe it would never come to that.

    Even with Carter, who I strongly disagreed with in nearly all his decisions, I still backed him and focussed only on the good that he did, as opposed to emphasizing the bad, yet if I was to see a president, and I haven't in my lifetime, truly go the route of socialism then that would be a whole other story.

    I just feel,...and here is where MikeH might be thinking along the road of me being idelaistic, but to me it's just loyalty and being thankful for all that I have of being an American...that whoever is elected by the American people that the president will never stray too far from the American idea of what America is all about.

    Basically, what I'm saying is that the American way of life will never be altered too much no matter who is elected, because the roots of what made this country so great is embedded deep within us all, whether it's subliminal or in bold face type, and the thought of any president trying to take this earned freedom away to the point that I could never support him would really have to be one hell of a bad cat.

    Whoever wins I'll be there for him. Maybe not parading around yelling my support if obama wins, but silently supporting him for sure. I for one won't be sreaming for his head if he makes a few mistakes in the beginning of his term, and I'm sure I'll be defending him if he does, but deep down I'll be praying that he rises to the occasion the next time.


    don't think too many people have a problem decifering the meaning of that statement. It's just that they (we) strongly disagree with the assertion that McCain somehow trumps Obama in those categories. We have a patriotic duty to challenge assertions that we believe are made based on false premises...MikeH...

    Well, from what I have seen from my poll at work, their answers to why they are voting for obama *strongly* suggests differently. Patriotic duty to challenge assertions is one thing, but to challenge assertions strictly because you don't think the man can speak as well as your candidate or because he happens to be white, I wouldn't call a true patriot.

    Maybe a true idiot or prejudiced fool, but a true patriot would look at all those things I mentioned in my previous post BEFORE they decided to vote. Sadly, I don't see that as the case.

    I mean, when you see the quotes made by these pundits and celebrities about Palin you would think that her association with hockey moms was worse than obama's association with Ayers!

    I think an all out investigation into all the hockey moms of the US should be the next priority, and all this nonsense about domestic terrorists should be abolished!

    Well Wolverine, YOU can choose to concern yourself with your rather unscientific "poll at work" if you wish, but excuse me if I choose to look at more representative sampling of reality. Your "poll" seems to indict your specific workplace more than it does the typical Obama supporter....but then, that WAS my original point.

    Since YOU just chose to bring up Ayers again in relationship to Sarah Palin. That would be a mistake for the dishonorable McCain if Obama's campaign was not as honorable as it is, but I don't have to hold back. Now lets compare Palin's and Obama' "associations". And trust me, we aren't talking about hockey moms here:

    1 - AIP - The Alaska Independance Party: Todd palin was a member. Sarah Palin has been an avid supporter. The AIP advocates secession from the USA. We fought our bloodiest war in history because traitors tried to secede from the Union.

    2 - Troopergate - This non-partisan, republican dominated panel just concluded an investigation that categorically stated that Palin both abused her power and was guilty of numerous ethical violations. This was far more than any "association". This shows a decided lack of respect for the ethical use of power and a desturbing willingness to use entrusted power for personal reasons.

    3 - Very troubling pastor "associations", including a video of one exorcising witches while touching her shoulders

    Meanwhile, William Ayers is a reformed anarchist who happened to serve on a board with Obama and many other fine and honorable people, including republicans. In fact, the board itself was Republican funded......A lot of good and honorable people know and work wwith William Ayers every day, who by the way, has even been named Chicago's citizen of the year once.

    All in all, this is the biggest load of CRAP that I have ever seen used in a presidential campaign in my lifetime.....And this kind of dishonorable character assasination may well be what ends up losing McCain the election.

    Irony!

    On another occasion, Ayers stated: "There's something about a good bomb … Night after night, day after day, each majestic scene I witnessed was so terrible and so unexpected that no city would ever again stand innocently fixed in my mind. Big buildings and wide streets, cement and steel were no longer permanent. They, too, were fragile and destructible. A torch, a bomb, a strong enough wind, and they, too, would come undone or get knocked down." All told, Ayers and Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. "I don't regret setting bombs, said Ayers in 2001, "I feel we didn't do enough."


    ......A lot of good and honorable people know and work wwith William Ayers every day, who by the way, has even been named Chicago's citizen of the year once....MikeH

    All in all, this is the biggest load of CRAP that I have ever seen used in a presidential campaign in my lifetime.....And this kind of dishonorable character assasination may well be what ends up losing McCain the election...MikeH

    Irony!...MikeH

    You said it...

    You're spinning your wheels on Ayers wolf, and if you'e ever been a drag racer, as I have, you know that is not a good thing.

    You also forgot to address Palin's much more relevant "associations".

    "...the fact that Obama's general demographic has a higher level of education than McCain's."
    "While it may give you ideological comfort to believe that some will vote for Obama out of ignorance, you ignore the fact that at least as many will vote for McCain for the same reasons. Sorry, but It is NOT a revelation that some will always cast their vote out of ignorance or prejudice, but rest assured that neither side has a monpoly in this regard." -MikeH ??????

    "If this were true, McCain would win the election by 20 pts."

    I didn't think it was necessary to explain your own posts to you. Evidently, I was wrong again. Damn!

    ramjet: "if this were true, McCain would win the election by 20 pts"....................????????

    Damn. your becoming tiring.

    "...some will vote for Obama out of ignorance, you ignore the fact that at least as many will vote for McCain for the same reasons."

    1) voting "out of ignorance" is not a "reason" to vote for someone.

    2) If Sen. McCain receives "at least as many votes" from people voting "out of ignorance" as Obama does, McCain would win the election by 20 pts.

    Ramjet: 2) "If Sen. McCain receives "at least as many votes" from people voting "out of ignorance" as obama does, McCain would win the election by 20 pts."

    Oh, i get it now.......this was another one of your right wing "jokes"!

    LOL....LOL......LOL.....LOL.....LOL!

    MikeH,

    Not really.

    You equate level of education with knowledge and assume that those with a higher level of education or not ignorant. As we all know, that is not the reality. A few points for your enlightenment:

    1. The Pew Research poll that indicates Obama supporters have a higher level of education than McCain supporters is skewed in Obama's favor by the make-up of the sample population.

    2. Obama maintains a significant lead over McCain with young voters. As we all discovered later in life, we were not nearly as smart as we thought we were, we had little useful knowledge and most of what we did was done "out of ignorance."

    3. As Ann Coulter so eloquently pointed out; democrats are not smart.

    Regarding my "...she's no Dick Chaney" joke: It was not a "right wing" joke. Allow me to explain one of the imbedded bits of humor you obviously missed.

    Back in the 60s and 70s, when women began to join New York's finest as uniformed patrol officers and detectives, grizzled veteran cops would refer to a lady with a badge as "a no Dick Tracey."

    Ramjet: "As Ann Coulter so eloquently pointed out."

    The most eloquent and sweetest smelling thing about Ann Coulter are those soft little brown things she deposits every day or in one of her in-home depositories. Every now and then, she probably has to call out "Joe the Plumber" out because of the sheer volume of deposited BS, and that must be how he makes over $250,000 a year.

    Nice cherry picking, Mike. The only portion of my post you respond to is the part that is clearly a toungue-in-cheek chain jerking.

    Please, go away, as you said you would, and this time, stay away.

    Ramjet: "Please, go away,"........And be deprived of jerking your sensitive little chain....no way!

    Ramjet: "as you said you would".......Actually, I said no such thing.......that statement must have been at the end of your many nightmares about me.


    MH,

    If you were intellectually honest, you would be worthy of engaging in discourse and debate, in spite of tour cocky attitude and cockeyed ideas.

    If you were even ignorantly honest, there would be hope for you.

    As it is, your inability or unwillingness to at least make an honest attempt at honest dialogue makes it pointless to continue to respond to you.

    As I said to you before, "Adios Amigo."

    Ramjet: "Also MikeH, what brought on your disappearance three days ago:"

    I 'disappeared' because *****I have other thing to do.***** I 'dissapeared' because *****this site has become rather boring***** compared to how it used to be.......YOU want to argue about who told a joke.....SoCalRightist wants to blame the entire collapse of the investment banking system on two compassionate congressmen.....Mike C doesn't want anything at all debated on this blog so he can feed his ego by dominating with silly "recaps".......Cee posts ultra right wing partisan lies with no apology, even after being caught with numerically provable facts.......Ultra right wing hack Factor posts personal insults in place of coherent arguments......Olby sucks just wants to taunt and jeer.

    >*>*>*>*>What exactly is there to stay for?
