This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, October 6 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. But we won't be able to do any recapping ourself tonight, so it falls on you--the clear-thinking readers of Olbermann Watch--to take up the slack and document Oralmann's diseased rantings for posterity.
What to watch for tonight: The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann is going on a bash-Palin rampage. Yes, the first Special Education Komment devoted to sliming the Alaska governor is set for tonight. If you can stomach it, read Bathtub Boy's Kos entry as he desperately pimps for viewers.
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.
Sorry, couldn't last past #4 on Countdown, apparently Obama already won the election. And of course #5, the economy is McCain's fault now.
Good comment Keith.
Most Democrats are just too nice to sink to the depths the republicans will, but somebody needed to say it.
If Sarah Palin is so insignificant, why does (MS)NBC bash her every night for two hours?
Keith's Komment: Blah Blah Blah, nothing new.
The Media Matters Minute didn't feature any O'Reilly attacks (they'll come tomorrow, I'm sure), but featured more vile attacks on any man that is complimentary of Sarah Palin, implying they get off to her, if you know what I mean.
Worse was Chris Baker and Langdon Perry of KTLK-FM in Minneapolis. Blue blog source: Media Matters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810060010

For Keith "Why the hell is this guy still on the air after Friday night and last night on NBC" Olbermann used the soft pleasurable voice...again! Then, Rip 'n Read read verbatim from the transcript his blue blog masters fed to him, using dumb pervert voices for Baker and Perry, and sprinkling in a couple of "and then he adds.." Misogynistmann invoked Rich Lowry while saying this: "Put the sexism in the revelation of *why* conservatives are glad Palin was chosen aside for a moment. If Rich Lowry of the National Review ever finds out these guys are lusting after (pointing finger at camera while still holding gotcha papers): *his* fantasy woman, he's gonna beat the crap out of them." But he wasn't finished. "You heard about Lowry? (raised finger and flip to the papers): Oh, a quick refresher." Fat Ass went on to repeat the vile attack from Friday with the exact same pauses, the exact same pleasurable voice, and the exact same pissing me off. As I've said before, Jeff Immelt, Jeff Zucker, Steve Capus, and Phil Griffin all *love* Krazy Keith Oralmann. They *love* when he goes after conservatives, all things News Corp, and Bill O'Reilly. They *love* when he implies male supporters of Sarah Palin are perverted masturbators. They even love when he injects politics into "Football Night in America." And it doesn't matter how many times we all stomp our feet and have a tantrum. He will never be fired, he will never be forced out, and he will always be a thorn in our backsides!
Okay, let me get the last two out of the way.
Worser was Richard Fontaine. Blue blog source: Miami Herald. http://www.miamiherald.com/americas_conference/story/711991.html
Worst was Sen. Joe Lieberman. Blue blog source: Raw Story. http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Lieberman_McCain_draws_line_at_using_1005.html
Following a verbatim dramatization with a lousy Lieberman impression, there was more gotcha papering and looking down and reading from that paper.
Okay, my work is done.
Will Keith bring up the fact that he is now using Sunday Night Football has his own personal bull horn to attack Sarah Palin?

I am guessing he won't
Correction:
But he wasn't finished. "You heard about Lowry? (raised finger): Oh, a quick refresher."
Sarah Palin is the terrorist support according to Keith. When did Sarah Palin get put in charge of charity funds by a terrorist who bombed buildings? Did Sarah Palin go to a terrorist house and beg for money before she campaigned? McCain doesn't want to talk about the economy? Really?
How come Keith didn't play this part of McCain's speech?

There won't be a recap. It's another victory for you and your followers, Keith.
Speaking of that, Mike C., I just want to say that I've always appreciated this blog and what it aims to do, because KO basically gets a pass everywhere else in the media. If I did nothing else, I would probably contribute a lot more- it's not that I don't care. But listening to KO blather on and on just gets tiresome; it's the same crap every night. Obama is always defended, and McCain/Palin are corrupt liars. Oralmann lays all this on so thick, it's difficult to separate fact from distortion. Besides, watching him invariably puts me in an off mood.
I'll contribute once in a while, but I would hate to see this site dismantled for lack of participation. (Where the hell is ESchatz anyway??)
I think we all feel the same way, John; me especially. My off mood has been on display in several of my more recent recaps. It's torture having to do that, even if it's only for one segment. Then, there's the research you have to do; Googling to find out which blue blog Keith used for his attacks, and then finding the original in-context source.
And in most cases, I transcribe what Keith says. On top of being torturous, it's also tedious.
If I've said it once I've said it a million times: this guy should be arrested for all the lies and shit he spills. I have NO IDEA how you do it Mike C because I've only watched him once since he's been on the air, and only then for his "special comment" where he railed against a true American hero John McCain stating how McCain was equal to the terrorists, and it made me sick. Literally sick to my stomach.
It was like watching America getting raped and pillaged by marauding hordes while there was nothing I could do to save it> Disgusting at his best, and then how he totally gloats in his misinformation was more than I will ever put up with again.
Kudo's to you my friend for having the stomach to watch this traitor and all that he stands for, and HOPEFULLY the powers that be at msnbc will finally reach their limit and become Americans again by ridding the country of this monster.
God help us all if this coward is only the first wave of what America has to offer as far as "journalists" go...
Hey OW, have you guys covered this yet?

I linked to that in the Friday recappers thread, Docweasel. If that was your first comment, welcome aboard.
I hardly have the stomach as it is, Wolverine. I'd be very happy if I didn't have to recap anymore. But thank you very much.
Speshul Spew from the political hack
Keith's "research" is slovenly slack
Blue blog rip-n-read
Fact checker? No need
If it were white, he'd call it black
GE has lost control at msDNC
olbamamann is just a bad joke now
who is running GE,.....$0r0$????
I tried to watch last night and got parts of #5 and #4...but had to turn away...I managed to make it back for his speshul eukation kommentz tho...
Quick question...if Palin is racist for saying that Obama is palling around with domestic terrorists...why isn't KO racist for saying that she pals around with domestic terrorists? If Palin is such an awful human being for not caring about the terrible tragedy of the 90 yr old lady in OH, what does that make Obama? I do not recall hearing him do anything on this (or was he making more phone calls...apparently the thing he must be best at)...if Palin is so evil for having a baddie pray over her in their one meeting at her church...what does that make Obama who had a baddie as his mentor, title-r of his book, baptiser of his children and pastor for over 20 yrs...if Palin is horrible for her husband attending a meeting of an Alaskan successionist...what does that make Obama who served on multiple boards with, attended neighborhood discussions with, served as ceo for, William Ayers and his wife admittedly unrepentant (as of 2001 when he well knew Obama), flag trampling, admitted communist, domestic terrorist who admitted to baombing federal buildings and losing three of his cohorts to his own poorly designed bomb...of which, "he wished he could do more...do ya think I would prefer Palin based on those items Mr Misogynist "roscoe's chicken and waffles" Olbermann??? YOU BETCHA

Oh I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who bailed out after #4, lol
But really, after KO's 9/11™ tirade he's just becoming harder and harder to watch. since the RNC Palin has taken up 80% of his show every night, and he runs with dead end stories like a nympho trying to stick his dick in every hole he sees.
I know it's been a while, but the last time ratings were posted he was trailing Maddow, what are they looking like now? How can liberals sit and watch this garbage as it's so transparent that its one guy patting himself on the back for an hour a night?
I have this feeling we're not alone. Not only isn't it becoming harder for us to watch, I'm willing to bet his fan base is tuning out as well.
I use to listen to a local conservative radio host here, but for weeks he kept mentioning this local scandal, and as big as a fan that I was, even I tuned out cause hearing the same stories over and over again got old.
I've decided not to recap anymore. My sanity, which isn't being helped by the Phillies' nonstop success and the gradual death of the McCain-Palin ticket's chances of winning, needs to be saved.
And a psychotic Newshound that won't stop hounding me via comments to my blog isn't helping my sanity, either.
take a much deserved break man. you're a great american and thanks for all you've done! :)
