You didn't have to go very far into Tuesday's Special Education Komment to find the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann once again twisting reality to smear Sarah Palin. To wit:
1:25 p.m. Eastern Time, today, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. During the warm-up act by a red meat Congressional candidate aptly named Chris Hackett, Hackett mentions Obama and a Palin audience member shouts, "Kill Him." And Gov. Palin, as usual, does nothing about it; says nothing to these thugs and psychos. She may not have heard this one. It is impossible to believe that by now she has not heard about the other ones. Her silence is deafening.
She may not have heard it? Here's the report from the Scranton Times-Tribune that Oralmann used as his source. It confirms that was said at 1:25 pm. So far so good.
But what is Herr Olbermahn not telling us? Here's what Bathtub Boy left out:
1:40 p.m.: The press pool has arrived at Riverfront Sports. Gov. Palin should arrive shortly.1:56 p.m.: Gov. Palin, accompanied by her husband, Todd, walked onstage to a rousing reception by the Riverfront Sports crowd as the theme from "Rocky" played.
What's this? Gov Palin hadn't even arrived when some doofus shouted "Kill Him"! Oralmann twists the facts by saying "she may not have heard" it. May not?!? She wasn't even there! "Her silence was deafening." Well, it is kind of hard to be heard when you are in a motorcade miles away.
Keith Olbermann, once again demonstrating that he is a slovenly political hack, and, above all, a flagrant liar.
It is very frustrating. My view is Fatass learned this approach from Slick Willy. You can say anything as the truth if you use the right facial expression and body language. Let me recall. First it was I didn't inhale. Or was it the Jennifer Flowers thing? Then of course being the only man I ever knew who didn't think a BJ was sex so, of course I never had sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.
KO is frustrating enough but he is really not a member of the "legitimate press" in my view, even though he calls his show a "Newscast". What is particularly immoral is that the so called legitimate press does not even have enough moral courage to call out such liars despite their own political feelings. The lack of any kind of objectivity is a quite shameful thing by supposed icons like the NYT or the broadcast networks.
It is a sad time for America. Honesty and objectivity have been disposed by the bigger picture of being intellectually and politically pure in thought. If one is a true believer it matters not what you say.
That wasnt a "speacial KOSment"
It was a "special performance"
Someone needs to tell him there are no emmys for infomercials
The demonization and marginalization of almost half of the voting public has started, and the election has not yet even occurred.
Racism, class warfare, economic fear mongering, demogogic and hyperbolic claims, outright lies.....
Obama and his fringe base has picked the poisons. Like the old Machiavellian approach demands, if moderate/conservative ideology is in their target sites for death, they had better make sure it is swift and complete.
If the deathblow to traditional American values is not accomplished, governing such a distrustful, at-odds and polarized electorate will mean no longterm solutions for our problems and another, at least, 4 years of punditry, partisanship, mudslinging and character attacks.
The Olbermanns of the world will remain in business.
Sarah Palin was not even there
But Olberdouche just doesn't care
The political hack
Stabbed her in the back
Checking facts would be balanced and fair
Has Barry O denounced those "Sara Palin is a c*nt" t-shirts being worn by his supporters?..has KO? New Murrow indeed.
Why would he denounce that stuff? He is pure and above the fray. There are and have been a couple of them in this process, but Sarah is not one of them.
Watching one of his mouthpieces on the place for politics here. They are all so smarmy. Its always a kind of an approach that reflects well we just know all of this stuff and they don't. God I hate people like that. You just want to slap them. It's kind of like; I'm sorry but tell me again who died and put you in charge of the world? Yesterday you were nothing and all of a sudden you have all the answers.
and I guess you are all choosing to ignore the video proving her riled up and oh-so-classy crowd screaming "TREASON!" and "TERRORIST!!" on prior occasions...
that's fair I suppose..
pick and choose. pick and choose.
I'm sorry. I've always held high the value of education, but it seems like the new measure of qualification is not having your potential leader dumb down his/herself but rather choosing someone who's already dumb enough that a "dumbing down" isn't necessary.
that's efficient.
get ready for a "crowfest" tonight, Olby just beat Bill O'Reilly in the all important "only means something if he wins it" demo:

whats worse, his repeat almost beat Greta (in the demo)...
If I was debating against Obama tonight, when he brought up "kill him!" and Sarah Palin didn't say anything about it, I would have said "SHE WASN'T THERE YET!" But clueless John, ignore-all-media John, didn't say A DAMN THING! HE LET THE FALSEHOOD FLY! Blue cable news show source: The Hour of Spin.
Well there's also the possibility that the alleged incident didn't even happen...
http://www.timesleader.com/news/breakingnews/Secret_Service_says_Kill_him_allegation_unfounded_.html
I guess it would be a little too much to ask that KO or any other member of the MSM actully check the facts before opening their mouths. New Murrow indeed.
"Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.
"'I was baffled," he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.
"He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.
"Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell "kill him.'
"'We have yet to find someone to back up the story,' Slavoski said. 'We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.'"

Once again, Keith Olbermann commits journalistic malpractice and reports an uncorroborated story as truth....And we will await his retraction, as well as those others who reported it.....
And wait.....
And wait.....
And wait.....
All the while the lies that fit the narrative that the soon 40+ million who will vote for McCain/Palin are racists and bigots continues to percolate....
United States of America? My ass. "USAMA" will replace "PUMA." An Obama Presidency will be the result of media lies and smears, plain and simple. Add a touch of ACORN voter fraud and the fact that Obama was the first Presidential candidate to spend billions outside of the restriction of Federal election funding and the legitimacy of the next administration will always be in question....just like the left did to W......
Good for goose....good for gander.......
See you in 2010 for those midterms.........
VERO POSSUMUS!
