Keith's Olbermann's manic, embarrassing diatribe of personal attacks and name-calling against Scott Brown has been widely denounced. But what about the truthfulness of Oralmann's harangue? A few have attempted a fact-check of Krazy Keith's polemic: Tommy Christopher rendered a split decision, but seemed to side with Olbermann on points. A commenter's detailed rebuttal finds far more Olbermann falsehoods than accuracies. But there is little disagreement about one key Olby assertion:
I said Mr. Brown was a supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees. Specifically, this past Sunday, when a man at a Brown rally shouted they should, quote, "shove a curling iron up Martha Coakley's butt," Brown responded by answering, "We can do this." Or, if that remark was unconnected to the shout, he never refuted, condemned, nor disassociated himself to the call for violence and even sexual assault.
Whatever you think about the other personal attacks in Olby's philippic, there is little room for doubt on this one:
Brown told reporters this morning that he didn't hear the remark, that it was "inappropriate" and that he would have "said something" had he heard it.
"This morning" refers to January 18. Two days later Keith Olbermann is still claiming that Brown "never disassociated himself" from the statement. That, dear reader, is Another Olbermann Lie.
We don't expect Edward R Olbermann to retract all of the disputed allegations in his tirade. The chances of that would be slim and none, given Keith's shoddy track record of correcting his many lies over the years. So we'll focus on this statement--one that nobody can defend.
Our challenge to Keith Olbermann: for once, man up. Grow a pair. Retract this lie tonight.
Well as Keith said, "The response to Truths you don't like is to simply call them lies"
Well as Keith said, "The response to Truths you don't like is to simply call them lies"
A Challenge to Keith Olbermann: Retract This Lie!
Yeah, right. A sane, rational person with an ounce of integrity would have admitted they made a mistake but Olby does not possess such characteristics.
Retract the lie?
Please, Olby won't do that. He's in the tub. IT'S CRAZY LARRY TONIGHT!
Are you reporting or predicting? Keith promised his Kos readers that he's now back to a M-F schedule. If he doesn't show up tonite that's obviously proof that this Olbermann Watch challenge scared him off the air!
predicting, after last night's almost comedic meltdown, if I were his boss, I'd send him to the tub for a few days.
or send him to Belleville.
WRONG AND RIGHT: Olby isn't there, Haiti telethon. My guess, a prison doc at 10pm.
AND JOHNNY $ GETS THE LOVE ON THE FACTOR! Way to go my man!
saw this at another blog, and I'm trying to find a another link to confirm this, but I can't help myself.
"To add to Olbermann's worst month in a long time from a ratings and PR standpoint, Katy Tur, his 25-year-old girlfriend, has moved out of his apartment and is already dating someone else a bit closer to her age. She got her career thanks to Keith, and now it appears he has become expendible. This may be contributing to his on-air behavior."
I always said when things went bad at home he would really begin to fall fast.
Coincidence? you decide.
SON OF A BITCH!
A new countdown WITH KEITH EVEN? I'm in shock! It must be taped.
Still on this bullshit about the supreme court decison.
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AND I FEEL FED UP WITH THIS A$$HOLE!
To steal a line from another group of self-important jerks, R.E.M.
The pre-recorded teaser Keith and Rachel did right before the Telethon started was reminiscent of a SportsCenter or talk show promo. Watch.
It is taped. I noticed no 'live' bug at the top.
So will he retract his lie tonight? Yes? No? or 'are you kidding?!?'
I said this in the Daily Show thread, but the Factor "Word of the Day" was "nimiety," which means "exces, redundancy." And Keith is Mr. Nimiety. " Specifically..." "Be prepared, then..."
A taped Hour of Spin? Uh-oh, he's borrowing from his Olbsession.
WPITW (taped)
And in the second quick comment, he defends Specter. And misuderstands Doocey's joke? Does Keith even have a sense of humor?
And does Specter have any defense for attacking Mrs. Bachman? Other than he's a bitter old bastard who (politically) shot himself in the foot TWICE!?
Bronze: Mike Laundauer for Dallas Morning News for attacking against Olbermann's foul attack on Mr. Brown.
and dude, you're a commentator, not a news anchor and sure as fucking hell never a LEAD NEWS ANCHOR!
Hell, you weren't lead on ESPN Sportscenter. Not even lead on ESPN 2's Sports2night, it was that chick you hosted with before they pulled your ass off that show. Not even on ESPN Radio, that was Tony Bruno!
Silver: Lanny Davis (TURNS ON A DEM) for Being on Bill-o (and defended Hillary).
Gold: RUSH!!!! Compares Obama's banker attack as anti-semetic (RUSH HAS A POINT).
Keith- go fuck yourself.
and give yourself a lollipop for actually showing up five days this week.
and to answer your question.... it's 'are you kidding?!?'
I wrote a partial recap last night, but had to write it in MS Notepad while OlbyWatch was down. Here's what I wrote:
Kwik Komment #1: Why isn't the media as mad about the Supreme Court ruling as I am?! Waaah!
#4: Tiller murder trial!
#3: Tea party people are like the Mad Hatter's tea party. Sir Chris Hayes was the guest.
Kwik Komment #2: Steve Doocy attack. Blue blog source: Media Matters. Fixed News! [Ding!] "Propaganda defined"...and he got this from a "Fox & Friends" pre-commercial tease. "Thanks for confirming that, Steve." No, thank *you*, Rip 'n Read.
#2: The Media Matters Minute. Worse was Michael Landauer, the guy that was previously mischaracterized as "far-right [Ding!]" by Olbermoronn. Turns out he isn't. Once again, Bullymann took the You're-Wrong-I'm-Right-You-Suck stance. Teabagging! [Ding!] The Tea Party people said it first! [Ding!] Another Olbermann Lie: I ran the video tape of the "curling iron" reaction. Another Olbermann Lie: News anchor. Contessa Brewer is a news anchor. You, sir, are a commentator; a guttersnipe commentator, but a commentator.
Worser was Lanny Davis, "who used to be a friend of mine, or more correctly, used to let me think he considered me a friend back when I did his political bidding for him without realizing...yada yada yada." Blue blog source: Crooks and Schnooks. Billo! [Ding!] Brief Ted Baxter voice. "Lanny Davis, on with O'Reilly, again, just like the man he said would never stoop to address, Dick Morris. Here's a personal word to consider, Lanny: collaborator!" I'm sorry. Were Lanny and Dick on in the same segment? No. Who was? Dr. Marc Lamont Hill. A recap of the segment, and Talking Points, can be found here.
Worst was Rush Limbaugh. Orly Taitz! [Ding!] Keep painting him with the birther brush, Monkeymann. It's fun, isn't it? I don't care what the attack was about or what the source was. I'm moving on. But first, "non-racist white people."
#1: Responding to Jon Stewart...by praising him, running the full Daily Show clip, pretending to try to attack him, and then apologizing to him. Can you feel the love?
Don't expect me to make these detailed recaps a regular thing. I just had some time on my hands tonight.
And that's how the recap went.
Ok the Rush attack was a full fledged LIE!
Rush addressed the entire subeject during the 2nd half of the 1st hour of his show. The fraud (Ko) said he did not even address th Rabbi's attack on..BULL SHIT! DOes those out of the work sportscaster posing as a serious journalist even do any research for his show?
Another Olbermann Lie, NMK? Why am I not surprised?
