This one is a thing of beauty.
So apropos for the man who uses such contrivances on his national TV show to degrade others.
Come to think of it, there isn't much one could do or say about KO that he hasn't overdone weekly.
Early thoughts on the show...WTF!
It's ok for KO's people to make gaffs, but lord forbid a Republican do it..."We must go after them."
Since when did the phrase, "Great White Hope" become a term for racism? And KO, Texas would NOT become a third world country if it left the union, I live in Texas and we'd just fine thank you very much.
He's really being knit picky tonight on anyone...ANYONE who makes a statement that isn't 100% right. Geez, like he hasn't made an error? Oh yeah that's right, this weekend at Teddy's funeral was one example, and a billion others throughout his career if you think about it.
He sits there and rails on Beck, "He can't spell, can't quote." But yeah, he kicks Olbermann's ass night in and night out. Chew on that Keith.
Hey Countdown viewers, this it what your hero thinks of you.
I turned on the Hour of Propaganda for TWO MINUTES and caught Goebells-Olbermann in two lies. First, the Minister of Propaganda (talking about Cheney's assertion that CIA "torture" tactics have kept America safe since 2001) says, "but it was 8 1/2 years between the 1993 WTC attack and those of 2001."
Of course he forgot to mention:
- Nov. 13, 1995 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: car bomb exploded at U.S. military headquarters, killing 5 U.S. military servicemen.
- June 25, 1996,Dhahran, Saudi Arabia: truck bomb exploded outside Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others. 13 Saudis and a Lebanese, all alleged members of Islamic militant group Hezbollah, were indicted on charges relating to the attack in June 2001.
- Aug. 7, 1998 Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: truck bombs exploded almost simultaneously near 2 U.S. embassies, killing 224 (213 in Kenya and 11 in Tanzania) and injuring about 4,500. 4 men connected with al-Qaeda 2 of whom had received training at al-Qaeda camps inside Afghanistan, were convicted of the killings in May 2001 and later sentenced to life in prison. A federal grand jury had indicted 22 men in connection with the attacks, including Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, who remained at large.
-Oct. 12, 2000, Aden, Yemen: U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole heavily damaged when a small boat loaded with explosives blew up alongside it. 17 sailors killed. Linked to Osama bin Laden, or members of al-Qaeda terrorist network.
Goebells-Olbermann has such little regard for his own viewers's intelligence that he doesn't think they'll look into matters themself, so he throws out such lies and distortions.
My analysis of Goebells-Olbermann's 2nd lie in two minutes will follow in another post.
Goebells-Olbermann is caught in another lie when he mentions "that nowhere in the CIA's Inspector General's report does it mention that American lives have been saved but the agency's use of waterboarding."
Anyone bothering to check (something that Goebells-Olbermann knows his viewers wont do- which explains why he continues to lie to them) will find that the Minister of Propaganda is covering for the White House bosses.
Here's the truth behind the info recieved from waterboarding (found here: http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/cia_oig_report.pdf)
"The detention of terrorists has prevented them from engaging in further terrorist activity, and their interrogation has provided intelligence that has enabled the identification and apprehension of other terrorists, warned of terrorist plots planned for the United States and around the world, and supported articles frequently used in the finished intelligence publications for senior policymakers and war fighters. In this regard, there is no doubt that the Program has been effective. ...
Agency senior managers believe that lives have been saved as a result of the capture and interrogation of terrorists who were planning attacks, in particular Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, Abu Zubaydah, Hambali, and Al-Nashiri."
Once again, KO is caught in a lie
A depressing story has shown up in the Olbermann Flood: David Cross Gets Literary Support from Keith Olbermann. It seems that the infamous, deplorable one wrote a blurb for Cross' new book. Of the blurb, David said: "That was my idea. I'm friends with Keith, I like him quite a bit. And as he says in the blurb, we disagree about things, but we have very interesting, good, educated conversations about stuff. And we're in a fantasy baseball league together." With that ringing endorsement, I'm tempted to hope that the book sells as many copies as Olbermoronn's books.
SB, you have to make allowances for the KO addled brain.
When this came up several years ago I made the same point and was roundly criticized b/c none of that was on American soil.
When I stated that by international law there is no distinction between an embassy in Africa and the White House and that the USS Cole as an American warship were analagous to our fleet at Pearl Harbor the response was I was wrong about the embassies and Pearl Harbor was different.
I also mentioned that I had seen several articles advancing the idea that Khobar Towers could also be considered a virtual attack on the US.
No dice with those minds who have been addlepated by KO.
Mike, who is David Cross?
I hope he's not universally known and my seniorized brain is showing again.
He's a comedian and actor. He was on the HBO comedy "Mr. Show with Bob [Odenkirk] and David" and later in the sitcom "Arrested Development"...starring OlbyFriend Jason Bateman.
Good!
I am only really up on the Actors and actresses who won Academy Awards in the 40's, 50's, 60's and thats about it.
David Cross was Tobias Funke on Arrested Development. Another far left comedian who's not funny.
The Media Matters Minute gave us Another Great Moment in Olbypocrisy. Dr. Michael Scheuer was Worst. Hey, remember when he was a "Countdown" guest?
I use to like David Cross till i listened to one of his stand-up's from the mid aughts.
There's "Bush jokes" and then there's "Bush bashing". As David Krauthammer would say, David suffers from a severe case of Bush Derangement Syndrome. I'm sure his material was funny to him, but it was pretty pathetic.
Denis Leary is a lefty, but I heard him respond about Garafalo's outbursts saying something to the tune of " When you're in entertainment, you gotta leave your personal politics at the door." Which makes Denis all the more cooler.
Well she got hers in London.
But really David isn't the only one who fell victim to BDS. Patton Oswalt, Simpsons writers, Seth MacFarlane ( listen to the commentarys on the first 3 seasons of Family Guy for a BDS treat ) Bathtub Boy, and many others.
But I predict PDS ( Palin Derangement Syndrome ) will be the new outbreak.
Wonder how Olby will take it when Laura Ingrham kicks his A$$ for the next 8 shows.
Like she's kicked his a$$ for last two shows.
Wonder what the fat Oompa Loompa thinks about Jenna Bush working for NBC News "TODAY"
Another OlbyFlood story came from The Cable Game: "Lonesome Olbermann" Plays The Snobbish Culture Card, Further Alienates Himself (If That's Possible) From Red State America. That occurred in #1, a full-segment Beck Attack. I hate to link to video of it, but here. I'll just watch with the sound muted.
In reference to meerkatpooh's post at 8:53 pm:
KEITH OLBERMAN ALERT! NYT DOESN'T REALIZE "THE GREAT WHITE HOPE" IS A RACIAL SLUR! -
A short sampling of the 100-plus articles in the NYT using the phrase "the great white hope":
"Not to be left out, the party's great white hope, Sarah Palin, unveiled a new political action committee last week with a Web site also promising 'fresh ideas.'''
-- FRANK RICH, Section WK; Column 0; The New York Times, February 1, 2009

Sorry webshots must have found this offensive. I placed at another site:

Hope this works for you, if not I will try elsewhere.
I listened with the sound on instead, occasionally checking the video and seeing that mocking grin. To paraphrase him, you sure be stupid, Olbermoronn. To further paraphrase, the extra "n" is for nut.
Is Cankles Olbermann TRYING to alienate himself from America with each passing show? I think so. I really think he wants to get fired from MSNBC so they will have to buy out his contract.
Case in point. During the Glenn Beck nit-picking rant Olby stated, "Mr. Beck came back the next day and tried to bury the reality that the less than 1% of the country watches or listens to his show..."
Again, Olby has the nerve to talk about ratings? Glenn Beck DESTROYS the Fat Man every single night with a show that airs a 5 pm.
"It's hard to say what percentage of that less than 1% watches in wrapped mesmerized fascination of the truth teller who's low brain function is no lower than their own."
Are you listening Fox News Viewers? You have a low brain function. You are not smart because you watch or listen to Glenn Beck.
"He misquoted Shakespeare the other day. To me, train wreck. To his gullible viewers...golly he knowed about Shakey's Pizza".
Now you are gullible and speak with a southern accent.
He just insulted millions of Americans in a few short sentences with his typical, liberal elitist attitude of "I'm smarter than you therefore listen to me because I know what is good for you."
There are only two possible explanations for this juvenile's idiotic statements:
1) He wants to get fired so MSNBC will have to buy out his contract.
2) His personal life is such a mess that he has completely lost his mind and can't tell the difference reality and fantasy.
3) All of the above.
Gee, olberjerk did not take the trouble to google the phrase "great white hope" if he did he would have found this article.

I guess the WAPO is now a racist paper and will become the WPITW.
Just watching snippets of the church of SNOBamessiah revival hour (better known as COUNTDOWN), I was reminded of a quote I had read yesterday....
"I divide people into people who talk like us and who don't talk like us,"

David Brooks is a reasonable man with a worldview that is not as radical as Barack Obama's but yet has expressed a longing to see a vindication of the "best and brightest," in federal governance. It seems he still has hope that the one will show us all the superiority of "the elite," and that once and for all intellectuals of any ideological stripe can be fully trusted with the levers of power.
After this weekend's celebration of another titan of America's eltist ruling class, Olbermann returned to his show with a similar affliction as Brooks'. In pointing out the inadequacies of some in their knowledge of history, literature, spelling and even grammar, Olbermann took great glee in his attempt to reassure himself, and his shrinking audience, that unless reverence is paid to a version of royalty that he and the left have formulated, even a majority of people are not worth even one shread of respect.
It seems that when democracy is working against the left, they resort to these vile tactics.....Tactics that seperate people based on how they articulate their views, their vocabulary, their resume, their pedigree. From the perverse deriding with "tea-bagging" to the snobbish reaction to birthers and clingers to guns and God, the radical left is so easily exposed for the intolerance and arrogance that makes them unqualified to hold great power.
I was surprised Olbermann did not bring out his diploma once again last evening.
The partisan divide is ever increasing with these tactics, and Obama's subtle support of his more vocal enforcers makes it clear that it is only going to get worse. I miss President Bush's unspoken and humble recognition that although he did not possess the stereotypical intellectualism so desired by the likes of Brooks and Olbermann, he sincerely desired to do what was right for the country as a whole based on the simple ideas expressed in our founding documents.
The hubris of power is really showing in the left's attitude towards the "masses," and it will be their downfall....Too bad our nation will suffer for their failure to act like decent, open-minded human beings.
VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?
BTW, I wonder if David Brooks uses the term, "all wee weed up?"
Mister Olbermahn quoting Shakespeare
Is like a headlight caught in a deer
It's sad and tragic

Steve "In Fox's Pocket" Krakauer also reported on the Beck/Fox Viewer Attack at Mediaite.
If Keith has a problem with people addressing their audience "hello, world" style, then he'd hate "Bernie Mac." I don't recall Bernie saying "Hello, America" or "Good night, America," but "America" came up a lot.
So olby has a problem with people signing-on and signing-off but has no problem with, "Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?" Sounds just as pretentious as any other sign-on line. And he stole his sign-off, "good night and good luck." Reason #1,452,095 people prefer the truth of FNC over the lies, slander, and hatred of Orange Canklemann.
If I were in charge of Fox News, I would have a standing order that says you do not discuss Keith Olbermann in any way. From The Factor to Red Eye, you do not mention his name or show video clips. Do not even quote him by saying "someone".
Fox has basically done this but there has been a few instances where they have directly or indirectly mentioned or referred to him.
Olbermann thrives on other networks or publications mentioning his name. I think that is why his behavior and comments have taken such a huge downturn. From consistently referring to others as racists, insulting millions of Americans and blatantly lying about his ratings, this clown needs to become more and more outrageous for people to notice him.
He is a nobody on a third rate network with dismal ratings. But he needs people to talk about him on the air. It feeds his ego even if he is too stupid to realize that most in the journalism field, network news, cable news and ordinary Americans think he is a joke. He is a human punch line and the sooner these people stop giving him attention the sooner he will fade away.
Olbermann would probably insult people who watch pro wrestling but he's acting like a wrestling heel. You want attention and you don't get it, so you start making things personal until you get a no disqualification match at the PPV. Unfortunately the problem is Olbermann is not a heel, he's just a hack who got lucky.
You make the prediction.....
An entire segment on COUNTDOWN tonight or a passing mention with the same old smirk?......
EXCLUSIVE: Gonzales defends Holder's decision on CIA
"'As chief prosecutor of the United States, he should make the decision on his own, based on the facts, then inform the White House,' said Mr. Gonzales, who was appointed to the post by President George W. Bush in 2005 and resigned in 2007.
"'We worked very hard to establish ground rules and parameters about how to deal with terrorists,' he said. 'And if people go beyond that, I think it is legitimate to question and examine that conduct to ensure people are held accountable for their actions, even if it's action in prosecuting the war on terror.'"

All I know for sure is that Obama's continuing drop in the polls (Rasmussen and Zobgy) will remain muted mongrels.
What a shill.
Tonight on the ticking time bomb, Countdown to Destruction:
1) Glenn Beck (Media Matters, Daily Kos)
2) Liz and Dick Cheney (Media Matters, Daily Kos, Huffinton Post)
3) Lou Dobbs (Media Matters, Daily Kos)
4) GOP Health Care Scare Tactics (Media Matters, Daily Kos)
5) WPITW : Michelle Bachmann (Daily Kos)
Again, no mention of the COST OF HEALTH CARE, unemployment or record spending deficits. Also, will Mr. Deflection for the White House wear his "I'm smarter than you" elitist black glasses or just continue to insult and demean millions of Americans with his regular "you are stupid, America" glasses.
Olbermann will use just the last seconds of this clip, that's okay. More people are watching Glenn at an off viewing hour, then at the prime hour for you. Still say, there's trouble in bubble gum heaven at Olby's crib.

Next for Glenn is the 9/12 project rally in Washington DC & (I guess) other places. Obama, Van Jones, The Democrats & NBC must stop this somehow and using sideshow freaks like the MSNBC prime time lineup will not get it done.
Yeah, Olby will cut the video up and use the last few seconds without using the point Beck was making. Olby is so predictable.
