Keith Olbermann on the subject of veterans' health care, July 26 2007:
OLBERMANN: The outrageous treatment of our injured vets.
GEORGE W BUSH: We owe our wounded soldier the very best care and the very best benefits and the very easiest to understand system.
OLBERMANN: Too bad they're not getting it....the embarrassing news stories of shameful medical treatment and crumbling facilities for badly wounded war veterans...It has gotten so bad that this week two veterans groups sued the government over how it treats injured vets, especially those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.... One lawsuit claims that the VA has a backlog of 600,000 disability claims....
vs Keith Olbermann on the subject of veteran's health care tonight, August 17 2009:
OLBERMANN: Today the President addressed veterans, a segment of the population that already receives public health care, and superlative health care at that....the President promising the vets that their excellent government provided benefits will not change.
Hmmm.
Krazy Keith can't keep track of his lies
Algorithm that logic defies
Thought convoluted
Liberally polluted
Like Barry in a pear-shaped disguise
Another Great Moment in Olbypocrisy.
Veterans have always received excellent Government health care and we have always been a war with East Asia and 2 + 2 = 5.
Keith Olbermann vs Keith Olbermann. That is like saying Charles Manson vs Charles Manson.
This clown will do or say anything (LIE) to fit his agenda.
What a great picture!
"One lawsuit claims that the VA has a backlog of 600,000 disability claims...."
###
Has Cankles Keith O followed up on that claim? Did those 600K individuals finally get the service they deserve? Or did Olbermann simply use the claim for his own cynical, selfish and narrow purposes in the everlasting, droning propaganda drill that is COUNTDOWN?
What a nice man....USING veterans as a prop....a weapon in the radical left's insatiable pursuit of power and then.....when it is politically useful, ignore the very problems that still plague the huge behemoth that is the US VA.
It reminds me of the left's horrid behavior during the most challenging days of the Iraq War....SNOBamessiah, Olbermann and the rest of the left were willing to use the deaths and sacrifices for selfish political purposes then....now....I wonder if Olbermann has even reported on the casualties and sacrifices that are taking place in the brave war against terrorism?....
No, segments on COUTNDOWN are reserved for inaccurate blaming of the GOP for Obama's failures to advance his radical agenda, concerns over congresswomen praying and seeking God's will and, of course, giving free airtime to radical anti-American fellow travelers who arrogantly believe they have cornered the market on wisdom and knowledge.
Under George Bush the VA is a horrid, insensititve and vicious monster. Under Barack Obama the VA is a benevolent and very competant entity.
Great catch J$.
No wonder his ratings are tanking.
Olberathiest used the term "God Damn" on Monday's Kountdown. Nice job (MS)NBC. That will surely help gain sponsors. How soon before Bathtub Boy starts dropping on-air f-bombs?
In honor of the late great Robert Novak, a segment from a ridiculous 2005 COUNTDOWN segment with the ever entertaining (and, as always, wrong) Janeane Garofalo....(thanks NEWSBUSTERS)....
Keith Olbermann: "Let's start with the scuffle, or, as they would call it in the circles of his favorite basketball team, 'no harm no foul.' Do you buy this story? Could this really just have been passenger rage or might there be something darker behind this? Could that have been Joe Wilson or Pat Fitzgerald or James Carville or Bob Woodward's source trying to start something with Robert Novak?"
Janeane Garofalo: "No, but there is definitely something darker behind this. Bob Novak, or I like to refer to him as Nosferatu because he, although he's less likeable than Nosferatu, but he, like a lot of partisan hacks for today's Republican party and today's conservative movement, which is neither republican nor conservative, they seem to be operating by a lot of dark forces or inner tensions or just cantankerousness that is evident in the way that they do business with politics. And everything with them is a zero sum game. So I believe that Bob Novak, spiritually, like a lot of other right-wing partisan hacks, are always on the verge of punching somebody or always, they always behave as if they've just been cut off in traffic. That's spiritually where they are all the time, and they have an anger management problem that, that, then they just pretend is Republican or conservative politics."
Olbermann: "So that raises the, I mean, that brings us back to the broader point that I mentioned at the beginning of this segment. How in the world has all of this CIA leak story unfolded without Robert Novak getting indicted or reprimanded or fired or just mentioned?"
Garofalo: "Well, probably because Karl Rove is the one who leaked the information to him like Karl Rove used to leak information to him during the governor's race in Texas about the Bush campaign. And I would think that Karl Rove is protecting himself, and so Bob Novak is protecting him. Or Bob Novak is just so unpleasant that they would rather avoid dealing with him than follow the letter of the law."
[...]
Olbermann: "....I got about 45 seconds here. When this is all over, how or if we will remember Robert Novak, your thoughts on that?"
Garofalo: "Well, hopefully as a cautionary tale, what kind of trouble you can get into by following the lead and the counterfeit stories of partisan right-wing hacks and basically stenographers like Bob Novak or Judith Miller or the Fox crew, things like that. It actually leads to tremendous trouble."
Olbermann: "What would you do if he took a swing at you or pushed you out of the way?"
Garofalo: "I guess fall down. I don't know."

Allow me to remind free thinkers that we all eventually found out that neither Karl Rove, nor Scooter Libby, was Novak's source, but it was RICHARD ARMITAGE!....Ah, to see the little cogs in Garofalo's little mind get stuck on that one would have been wonderful.....
Uh?....Who's Richard Armitage and why would he leak Plame's name?....Oh, that's right....it wasn't political!...it was an error! NEVERMIND!
So, Olbermann and a member of his brain trust show how simply ignorant, bias and silly they are.....And her idea that Robert Novak was simply a sternographer?....wow.....That judgement is well supported now is it!
Lastly, her limbic brain theories explaining her perception of "right-wingers" seems to have been taking shape back in 2005....It is good to see such good science and logic taking form!
Will Olbermann eulogize Mr. Novak tonight?....Look out for the usual hypocrisy if he does!
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
Ah yes Keith, the.....how do you say it Keith?
"the superlative health care " the veterans receive.
And over in Mr. Waxman's district it's nice to see how this is being doled out.
"This land is slowly being doled out to special interest groups that benefit Mr. Waxman and his friends also known as the “Westside Political Machine” Sadly, he is not the only one doing this; politicians all over the country are ‘giving’ land they do not own to special interest groups. Eighty-five acres of Veterans lands were just annexed in Chicago. Where did it go to, who got it?"
WTF? Keith?

SO again 'Burger Breath'. Tel me about the......how do you say it?
"superlative health care " the veterans receive???
I guess if they can get in and don't have to sleep on the street in front of the Hospital they will get this 'superlative health care' .
And that's if the place hasn't been sold off or givin' away.
'Countdown' with your host 'Baghdad Baxter Olbermann'.
Oh Boy! Keith is going to have a great time tonight!!
Racists!
KKK!
Conservatives!
Tea-Baggers!
White Trash!
Poor Obama!

Oh wait!, the man in the picture.........he's.........he's......a.........
Never Mind!
"the public‘s always ahead of the media and the politicians on these things, and if the politicians and the media don‘t listen, they pay the price." Keith Olbermann
"The question of whether or not the eventual health-care reform legislation will include a public/government option to compete with private insurers has dominated the health-care debate over the past two days.
"And according to a brand-new NBC News poll, 47% of Americans -- a plurality -- oppose the public plan, versus 43% who support it. That's a shift from last month's NBC/WSJ poll, when 46% said they backed it and 44% were opposed.
"In a follow-up question explaining the benefits and disadvantages associated with a public plan, 45% said they agreed with the description -- by supporters -- that it would help lower health-care costs and provide coverage for uninsured Americans.
"But 48% sided with opponents who say a public option would reduce access to their choice of doctors, and would lower costs by limiting medical treatment options."

An NBC NEWS poll....will Olbermann cover it tonight?
If he does, the results will be dismissed as a result of right-winger scare tactics and lies....The majority of the respondents are simply misinformed about the progressives' plans for healthcare.
Also, it will be simply treated as a sign that Obama has lost control of the agenda with a talking head ready to provide advice how to regain the agenda....
lovely.
Let's try this again.
Oh Boy! Keith is going to have a great time tonight!!
Racists!
KKK!

Tea-Baggers!

Poor Obama!

Firas Alkhateeb?????
Oh, we can't go there!
"'I abstained from voting in November,' [Alkhateeb]wrote in an e-mail. 'Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state.' If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich."

Ok...let's sum up....The left has suggested the image was racist.
The creator would have voted for the far left loon leprechaun on the democrat tickets last cycle.
The creator says he had no specific message in the work.
He is from Chicago and feels people went way overboard in the worshiping of Obama....I am sure he experienced the church of SNOBamessiah first hand.
"Alkhateeb's assessment of Obama: 'In terms of domestic policy, I don't think he's really doing much good for the country right now,' he said. 'We don't have to 'hero worship' the guy.'"
Amen. And the joker image graphically captures that particular sentiment.
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
The Monday ratings numbers once again show a dismal showing for COUNTDOWN in the all important demo....barely getting a third of what O'Reilly got....and in total viewers, Olbermann pulled in less than a third of what O'Reilly garnered.

Love the picture, great work!!! Again I don't know how you do it (watching bathtub boy) and not putting a gun to your temple. I watch about 30 seconds before I need to throw up.
"Great catch J$."
Thanks but I can't take credit. It was one of our ace recappers, dcmeyer, who noted the Olbypocrisy. I just looked up the links. So congrats and thanks go to dcmeyer!
Veteran's health care is good to excellent, provided by dedicated health care professionals at VA hospitals and clinics.
The backlog and delays in processing of VA Disability Claims is a problem in a seperate division of the Veterans Administration, seperate from the VA health care providers.
The scandalous conditions found at Walter Reed Army Hospital are the fault of the Department of Defense, not the Veterans Administration.
Keith Olbermann is a hypocritical, dishonest, self-serving, ethically bankrupt life form that would need to evolve in order to rise to the level of scum.
That is all.
