I've listened to my time-compressed (in Adobe Audition) OlbyRobot reading of the SEK, but this was the first time I heard the real thing. Oh, my God. Not only did he resemble Howard Beale (again), but he sounded like an evil warlord. All you need is a reverb, an explosion sound, and some scary organ music (not "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"), and the effect is complete.
"I...warned...you...ALL!" And he calls Bill O'Reilly a bully. I think we know who the *real* bully is.

The Government wants you to 'RAT' on you're fellow citizens.

Well I'm sure Mr. Wiretaps, F.I.S.A., Blah,Blah,Blah! will have something to say about this tonight.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.844cab9dda05a208d45a624ff10c219a.b91&show_article=1

I'm not holding my breath.

I saw that about turning people in, err I mean reporting untruths about the health care plan. Shades of 1984 BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.
With KO turning on Wolff does this represent art imitating life? SNL do a skit were he turned on Wolff?

More thuggish than past tense, Olby is saying it in present tense; "I WARN YOU ALL..." "....if you fail to pass or support this legislation, the FULL WRATH of.." "...you will LOSE YOUR JOBS."..

The Obama snitch initiative is an absolute muted mongrel on tonight's church of SNOBamessiah revival hour, better known as COUNTDOWN....We have seen the heights of hypocrisy the supposed "journalist" Cankles Keith O is willing to hit....ignoring the chief executive of the United States of America collecting information on political opponents e-mails and "casual conversations" is no problem for the usually paranoid, "IT'S McCARTHY!" leftist shill.

The leftist talking points remain manufactured angry mobs and "astroturf." Keith Olbermann will OBEY!

VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?

BTW: JD, that was a great clip!

Olbermann had LESS THAN HALF the number of people tuning in compared to O'Reilly...both in the demo and total Tuesday....Pathetic!

Maddow still loses to "better than AMBIEN" Larry King in the total viewers numbers and barely beats the old guy in the demo.....Hannity kicked both their butts.

It is hard to believe advertisers see any value in advertising on the pathetic cabler.

Great clip. Not only were Beck and Gibson right on the mark, but that caller proves their point.

1) Liberals HATE to be confronted with FACTS.
2) When confronted with the facts, they attack. He accuses Gibson of shouting over his guests (just like they accuse BOR) which is totally false.
3) The caller makes an accusation of the protesters being "bused in" and when asked who is busing them in...he cannot back up his story but states 'someone must be doing it". The caller is an obvious "sheep" that is regurgitating the liberal talking points.
4) Where was the media and Olby when President Bush was being protested? Were the protesters called mobs, lunatics, backed by lobbyists or extremists? No, they were called grass roots, patriots, and working Americans.

The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.

possible WPITW the man at the townhall who stated:

"Obama spent 6 months deciding on a dog for his daughters, but wants to pass a healthcare bill in 2 weeks?"

he brought the POTUS family into the debate they are off limits (only republican family members can be attacked).

lol Gibson had me LMAO.

Oh poor John, got stumped 3 times then it ends with a Monty Python clip of someone being oppressed. That was good stuff.

I saw that guy, dennis...he said he was a registered democrat! I love it.

Then Hoyer goes on about the Erie Canal project and how people were against that....That was over 200 years ago!

The democrats are very desperate if all they can say to defend their work is, "the republicans are baaaad."

BTW, the democrats could pass healthcare reform without ONE republican vote....Let them have at it then.

That Obamabot on the Gibson clip, that Gibson stumped continuously, was hilarious. He HAS to be one of the million or so morons that watch Keithy every night, because his debating "skills" rank alongside Olbermann's. What a putz!

Another candidate for WPitW.....

"Olbermann will likely survive this episode. Why shouldn't he? He's obviously been a good company man! But his actions in this matter truly insult all of the viewers that look up to him as a non-coward voice in the media. He is, quite simply, playing his viewers for fools."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/05/keith-olbermann-playing-v_n_251901.html

###
Ummm....the sky is blue, roses smell nice and Keith Olbermann plays his viewers for fools.....

And I agree with Mr. Dobbs....Olbermann's meds need to be adjusted.

Haha, the "I WARN YOU ALL" too funny at a fat pathetic man. I still think he's just letting it all out (literally) cause he's bailing MSNBC

Yeah, I too saw that Steny Hoyer townhall clip. I actually had respect for Steny prior to that clip. His responses to all the complaints by people registered to the SAME party as he, were, simply put, lame. He sounds like the typical, pontificating, gas bag we all know and loathe, as Politicians (from either side). I have completely lost any respect I had for him.

From the article cee linked:

"But his actions in this matter truly insult all of the viewers that look up to him as a non-coward voice in the media."

So, those million or so morons looked up to Keithy as a non-coward?!

Yeah, it takes sheer guts to sit behind a desk, interview parrots, play puppet theater, and use impersonations to mock opponents, who of course, NEVER get a chance at a personal rebuttal. Yeah, that's real courage alright! They must teach that at Bovine U!

As I have repeatedly stated. Keithy's viewers are exactly what I label them if those million or so morons really look up to him as a non-coward!

My prediction the stories Mr. Cankles covers tonight:

1) Right-Wing "Birthers" Pushing Health Care Town Hall Disruptions.
2) Fox Promoting Anti-Health Reform Disruptions Of Town Halls.
3) Limbaugh.
4) Lou Dobbs/CNN.
5) Either Palin or more on those nasty mobs that are backed by lobbyists or Republicans at the town halls.

Of course, all stories will come complete with the Olby spin (lie) and his puppet "guests" that agree with every word coming out of his mouth.

ENJOY! I certainly will not be watching.

There will be a full-blown O'Reilly Attack tomorrow night because Bill went after GE in the Talking Points Memo and Top Story segments tonight.

Bathtub Boy made fun of Gretchen Carlson for saying only 2 Cash for Clunkers deals had been approved in MN, instead of the correct 2 percent. While not being all that better, she was factually incorrect, but so was Jimmy Legs when he said that 2% was "150 of the first 75" Cash for Clunkers applications. Gee, Keith, 150 is 200% of 75, not 2%.

Making a mistake while berating somebody else for making a mistake is soooo Keithian.

He went after the heavy's tonight. You knew he'd try to go after Dobbs. It sure would be nice to see Dobb's wife actually kick KO's butt. Then have him cry about it on the air. You never piss off a hispanic girl Keith, to quote you, "I WARN YOU". :P

I'm sure Gretchen will mention something about being named second worst person on Fox And Friends in the morning.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again, ever since Monday, he's just been pushing that envelope over at MSNBC, daring the brass there to fire him, and I think it's going to work in about a month or so...just watch.

Olbermann went after Lou Dobbs and his wife and daughter. Had it on mute, but if you drag my wife and kid into your demented little world, Keith. I would take you out.

Last year when Keith attacked Steve Doocy's kid, Doocy should have ended Olby. He didn't. I know it's better to ignore him, but insult me is fine, not my family.

I would take Lou Dobbs wife over Jimmy Legs anytime.

Did he do the "I didn't go after your children, I went after you, be a man, quit hiding behind your daughter's skirts" bit again?

Oh Keithy
Your show is tanking fast, your ratings are a bomb
Spining all the news and getting it all wrong
Why cant you see the writing on the wall Keithy

Getting all your stories from crappy blogging sites,
taking them for facts,never checking twice for accuracy
One sided interviews, never fair or balanced
no one's watching you, they rather watch FOX NEWS Keithy..

Oh Keithy, what a pity, you don't understand
Your show is tanking fast in the vast cable news land
Oh keithy cant you see , your bath is ready now
It's time for you to go Keithy
your ratings suck keithy,stink keithy..
you cant beat FOX keithy

Yes he did, Mike.

Ko is like this guy

http://miltownkid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/internettoughguy.jpg

He hides behind his desk. let's face it his mouth writes check his body can't cash.

Bathtub Boy made fun of Gretchen Carlson for saying only 2 Cash for Clunkers deals had been approved in MN, instead of the correct 2 percent. While not being all that better, she was factually incorrect, but so was Jimmy Legs when he said that 2% was "150 of the first 75" Cash for Clunkers applications. Gee, Keith, 150 is 200% of 75, not 2%.

Making a mistake while berating somebody else for making a mistake is soooo Keithian.

You don't need to watch Countdown...just go to HuffPo, Kos and Media Matters. They cover all the stories then Cankles just rips and reads them from a teleprompter throwing in juvenile comments at the end.

MikeC,

I saw the story on The Factor about G.E. I don't know if Olby will touch that one. He would have to A LOT of spinning/out of context stuff to pull it off. We all know Olby is lazy (as depicted by his photo) so this might be too much work for him. BOR presented a lot of facts and we all know that Olby hates facts.

He'll pull it off, Brad. He has News Corp to [incorrectly] cite for examples.

The Olbermann Flood has a link from TVNewser, which I won't link here. In it, the following is written: "...Tonight, O'Reilly began his memo with the news that GE paid a $50 million settlement to the SEC over accounting misdeeds. That commentary alone may have still kept up FNC's end of the agreement -- covering the company when news is made.
**But then O'Reilly went one, or two, or three further at one point saying, "NBC News, owned by GE, has been perhaps Barack Obama's biggest supporter in the media. And Jeff Immelt was rewarded for that when Pres. Obama appointed him to his economic advisory board."**"

You mean he wasn't rewarded? Thank you, Chris Ariens, for giving Keith a source for tomorrow's attack. Unsuspected depth.

You know I didn't believe KO when he ranted and raved that GWB's FBI always announced phony terrorist cell arrests only when he needed to play the fear card when things got too hot for him and his admin politically.

Darn if it hasn't happened with Obama too.

His approval ratings tank and his Obamacare is going down in flames and the FBI just rounded up a big so called terrorist group. Right! Like American citizens are really terrorists.

Has he brought it up every day this week or only Monday?

Nice clips. He makes it sound like he's going to go vote these people out himself. Oh wait, that's right, you don't vote!

What a hypocrite.

***By Great Thanks ***
I'm glad you caught it too! Olby' glaring F-UP regarding Gretchen Carlson's simple mistake was something to behold. What a douche nozzle!

Did KO make a big deal about that weasel Wm Jefferson, D-LA being guilty on 6 counts of bribery and fraud?

About 10 years ago when they finally got the crook Edwin Edwards the feds had a tape of Jeffereson accepting a bag with ten thousand from Edwards or one of his cronies but no way to tie it in to anything else. A similar lucky break like the slime Murtha got.

Olby reports, without a single confirmed source, that" Democrat congressmen are being physically assaulted at townhall meetings." WTF?
Olby employs a drunkard's voice characterisation while reading Lou Dobb's words. I guess that means "it's on", and Olby is calling out Dobbs as a big old drunk.

Just watch Cankles over at MSNBC.com for the WPITW segment:

Bronze: Lou Dobbs. I've never heard the voice he used to quote Lou Dobbs but I must say it was really, really weird and creepy. I think it's the voice he uses to call Megyn Kelly or Courtney Friel at 4:00 am. Anyway, he goes on to insult his wife (again) and says Dobbs is old and insane.

Silver: Gretchen Carlson. He starts out calling her "super genius" but states, "2% not the number two, 2%. That would mean that 150 of the first 75 transactions in Minnesota had made it through the government red tape in only one week. Not two of them, 150 of them." As Great Thanks stated, 150 is 200% of 75, not 2%. He then goes on to make fun of her going to Oxford and mocks her in another "voice". First of all, if you mock someone for their math skills, you better make damn sure your numbers are correct or you make yourself look like an even bigger idiot. Secondly, I think Olby has a REAL PROBLEM WITH WOMEN that have had more success and went to better schools than him. Just an opinion but he seems to target a lot of success women. I think he has some personality disorder (one of many) when it comes to women.

Gold: Rush Limbaugh. Again, another lunatic voice over while reading quotes. Limbaugh was wondering if Clinton was hitting on the two female journalists on the plane back from North Korea. Cankles takes serious offense to this because, after all, Olby was in the bath tub for weeks over the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal.

Was the Congressman Tim Bishop (D-NY 1st)? Alan Colmes reported that, too, in the Barack And A Hard Place Segment.
And you know what Keith's source was for the Dobbs Attack? The very audio embedded at the top of the thread, from Media Matters.

Problem with women?

Michelle Malkin, Laura Inghram, Ann Coulter, FNC babes?

Keith has a problem with strong conservative women. Or women who could kick his A$$! Which would mean any women.

Keith has more of a problem with Laura's dog than with Laura.

Man if Rush got WPITW for that, then Conan O'Brien should get WPITW for his similar jokes.

One about being in the room in a bath towel when the women first saw him, and how he used the overnight flight to save two women as an excuse last week to Hilary.

But again the double standards, i keep forgetting. It's not the jokes themselves, but who's mouth they come out of.

But anyways it crazy conspiracy time, we all know KO is a Letterman fan, way to support the NBC brand. Is it possible that maybe, just maybe KO secretly wants to be at CBS? Think about it, Katey Couric was a bust ( surely a man could do a better job ) and he lost Meet the Press to David Gregory's Hair.

But really if people think he's just trying to get fired where else can go. I don't think KCBS fired him when he went to ESPN, and the CBS headquarters sounds like a good place for him to stroke his ego. Afterall i don't remember KO calling Dave WPITW for making fun of him when Dave had Couric on and lambasted her for stealing McCain that night and being left with Bathtub Boy.

There's no truce as Stelter presumed in the NYT.

Or at least it's officially over.

O'Reilly's opening segment essentially reamed a new one for Immelt tonight by advocating for his firing. Sounds justified considering the Obama economic advisory board connection he maintains in spite of the recent GE fraud conviction.

Although Olby opened the gate on Monday, you can expect a stampede to obediently follow as his writers concoct the attacks with no end for Olby to share with his dwindling audience in the coming weeks.

Wow.

I would say that quoting "2 cars" versus "2% of cars" is not nearly as embarrassing or offensive as failing a comeback attack by quoting a 200% CONCOCTION! (Think about it; one of his writers had to have invented one or both of the numbers to arrive at 200%. And of course, ol' Rip and Read never checks his figures - as further evidenced by his ever-expanding ankles and waistline.)

What an ass. And he's the face of NBC prime time cable news. Russert must be proud.

Good luck and good night.

The cynical political tactic of calling the opposition to Obama's healthcare plan seen at House Rep's town hall meeting "astroturffing," is going to backfire simply because of one fact.....it isn't true. Obama and the radical left has based their campaign of fear and ridicule on a lie.....

Right Principles has a Facebook group with 23 members and a Twitter account with five followers. MacGuffie describes himself as an “opponent of leftist thinking in America,” and told me he’s “never pulled a lever” for a Republican or Democrat on a federal level. Yet this Connecticut libertarian’s influence over a national, orchestrated Republican health-care push-back is strong, indeed, if you listen to liberal pundits and the Democratic National Committee, who have crafted a nefarious web out of refutable evidence.

Think Progress highlighted his memo’s directives to “‘Yell,’ ‘Stand Up And Shout Out,’ ‘Rattle Him’,” calling it a “right-wing harassment strategy against Dems.” The blog falsely connected MacGuffie to the national conservative group FreedomWorks through the most tenuous of threads. The Think Progress link that purports to establish MacGuffie as a FreedomWorks “volunteer” leads to his one blog posting on a Tea Party website (on the free social networking site, ning.com). Think Progress calls Tea Party Patriots a “FreedomWorks website.”

The problem is it’s not a FreedomWorks site, according to FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon. FreedomWorks is a “coalition partner” of TeaPartyPatriots.org, but does not fund the site in any way…

The Rachel Maddow Show repeated Think Progress’ reporting on MacGuffie’s connections, showing the memo, and declaring its author “affiliated with an organization called FreedomWorks.”
The DNC has now made the memo the centerpiece of its “Mob” ad out today, from which I grabbed this screen shot, at the :40 mark…
The voice over for this image says behavior at health-care town halls is “straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives.”

So it came to be that a guy no one’s heard of, who created a memo that was sent to 10 people, who once wrote a single post for a site that’s not even formally connected to a major conservative group, and who’s not even a Republican became the evil mastermind behind a national Republican conspiracy to “manufacture outrage” at town halls from coast to coast. This is how the nutroots and their media enablers work.

###
As you can tell, this is from HotAir and I recommend you let other fair-minded individuals know the truth about what is really behind all of this....This charade of outrage that there are people actually upset the government wants to expand its role in healthcare during a time a great fiscal difficulty, in a rush no less, without time for debate and fair analysis must be exposed for the crass and dishonest exercise it has become.

I thought the perverse and adolescent "tea-bagging" stunt was bad, but NOTHING in recent history compares to what Obama and the radical left are trying to pull off here....Claims of violence, terrorism, astroturffing, manufactured anger and more is a basic slam at MILLIONS of citizens who have basically chosen to exercise their first amendment rights. Obama should be ashamed of himself for pursuing such a radical campaign and the effects of this episode will be felt in our political discourse no matter what the outcome of the actual legislative debate.

Olbermann and Maddow are dishonest brokers in this disinformation campaign and NBC NEWS should be blasted for allowing such behavior.

This link provides a glimpse of the desperate tactics of the loony left, including Obama:

http://spectator.org/blog/2009/08/05/leftist-bloggers-who-get-march

I thought the last paragraph very interesting:

"So just to sum up, Obama enlists the aid of a small group of liberal bloggers in the health care fight, and then those same bloggers write posts echoing White House and DNC talking points -- and in the very process of doing that, accuse their political opponents of astroturfing!"

Gee. That's very, very similar to what Keithy did in his first segment (which I commented on) Monday, after his return from a long vacation. Maybe those photos of him on his laptop actually caught him emailing Immelt for Obama for talking points.

Didn't Olbermann accuse Fox of using White House talking points (straight from Karl Rove) when Bush was President? Hmmmm......

Hi Keith! Hi Keith! Hi Keith!

WTF, cjflan32??

In the spirit of what they did to GWBush, may I present( I predict Puck will like this one):
http://tinyurl.com/mnuf6d

Wow, that came out so wrong:

Anyway, I'll try this more legibly:

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/keith_olbermann_getting_it_from_all_sides_123676.asp

You can read Olbermann's response for yourself on the link. Anyway what I was trying to point out was Olbermann basically blamed everyone under the sun for his most recent gaffe-everyone but himself. His mother died four months ago and it's understandable that he'd take some time to deal with that. But four months? Give me a break.

So let's break this one down. The Wolffe issue is his mother's fault because she died and his attention was turned away, his staffs fault for not following up on it and Jonathan Berr's fault for calling him out on it and not having any respect for a grieving son.

None of this, and I repeat, NONE of this, is Olbermann's fault.

Tonight's Countdown lineup brought to you by the Left Wing Blogs (in no particular order):

1) Sotomayer confirmation. KO will call Republican senators racists or evil for voting "No" on her confirmation.
2) Conservative Media Declare Disruptors "Real".
3) Beck Links Health Care Reform To Nazis.
4) Lou Dobbs Repeatedly Smears Obama, Progressives As "Socialist" or Dobbs declares MSNBC a "coven of thugs".
5) Limbaugh Claims Obama "Sending Out His Brownshirts".
6) Hannity: "The White House wants snitches". Limbaugh said the same thing so it will be one of the two, or both.
7) Some sort of BOR/Fox News attack.
8) Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) jokes about Dems getting "lynched" at town halls.
9) Unions Vow To Engage Protesters Over Health Care.

Enjoy the hour of spin from the Deplorable, Rip and Read Hack, Cankle ridden, Non-debating, Biased Fraud Keith Olbermann.

Sorry guys, that was code for "Olbermann will attack Bill O'Reilly for eating fruit." That bastard.

cjflan32, lol and thanks for the link, where I found the following from Olbermann today ( Buckle up folks, it's classic Olby-spin):

> Update: Olbermann responds to TVNewser:

The bloggers are leaving one component out, unfairly so: In April, I knew vaguely that Richard Wolffe had gone to work for a non-news firm, and that's about the last I heard of it. It was entirely concurrent with my mother's fatal illness, and I turned it over entirely to my management team. My first awareness that this was more than just a non-news job, was this week.
If Jonathan Berr, whoever he is, does not like my prioritizing caring for my mother and dealing with her death, and then doing as many shows as I could, ahead of vetting the comments of our analysts and my management team, frankly, I feel sorry for him. Getting myself through those two months were, and are, more important than what is still being investigated about Richard.

Brad90956 I do not believe he will mention number 10 on your list. Union are known for there thugs. let's face it 60-70 yar old men and woman against teamsters. would not look good for bathtube boys leader. it will remind people of how the the brown shirts.

Yeah OD that's what I was commenting on. But reinforcement is good too.

If you're a 50-plus year old man and it takes you four months to get over your mother's death (and this is gonna sound harsh but if you're mother is dealing with a fatal illness then you should have been prepared) you have serious mental problems.

But then again, if I was on the Countdown staff and I had to tell Olbermann some bad news about one of his regulars, I'd probably keep it to myself.

cjflan32, it's been 10 years since my father left his earthly burdens from ALS. And it still hits me hard. But, it can only buy you so much sympathy. And Olby has burned all of it!

syvyn11 I never said the pain goes away. It's always terrible. But life goes on. And to use your grief to hide the fact that you're not doing your job is despicable.
