Here is what the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann spewed tonight (via The Right Scoop):
Moments later, in a rare example of criticism from his own colleagues, his diatribe was blasted by MSNBC's Joe Scarborough:

Keith's phone booth is getting smaller all the time.
UPDATE: On the air this morning Joe didn't mention Olby by name but clearly was referencing him when he called the tirade "sad and pathetic".
Again, I really hope that Joe calls out Olbermann on MJ tomorrow morning. I will be watching. Unfortunately, on this issue, I don't have much faith in Joe. But I really hope he calls out that despicable d-bag.
As I said before, this is a hail mary pass. And as with many hail marys, it fails.
The karmaitic debt owned by Olby is so great, everyone at MSNBC will be harmed.
Olby is reckless and sad...and an extremist. Not only will a Brown victory be good for America, it will drive Olby nuts (or more nuts). I really hope Brown wins AND Olby is on the air tomorrow...I will tune in for the full hour just to see his head explode.
Harping back to Friday's show for a moment I wanted to mention Olbermann's obsession with Fox News. During his worse person's segment he mentioned that Fox's top news programs spent very little time on the Haiti earthquake. Two things are factually wrong here, first the programs that media matters had posted about for him to rip and read deal with commentary shows, not news programs. Second the actual news prgrams on Fox, Brett Bair's and Shepard Smith's shows, were devoted to the Haiti coverage. Now looking at the cable ratings for only Wednesday of last week those two shows drew a total of 4,654,000 viewers. MSNBC on the other hand between Hardball (both the 5pm and 7pm show), the Ed Shultz show, Countdown and Maddow drew a total of 3,945,000 viewers. That means even if MSNBC had wall to wall coverage for all six hours they still reached 709,000 less viewers then Fox. This is of course assuming no duplicate viewers which is bogus but the point is that Fox News still informed more people about the Haiti situation then MSNBC.
I also wanted to add that Kieth promised us two live shows tomorrow. Will we see a repeat of November where he mysteriously vanishes between shows? I am looking forward to tomorrow wether Brown or Coakly wins, either way Keith is sure to prove once again what a jackass he is.
Kieth has worked 9 out of 11 days this year! You broke the 80% barrier big guy, way to go!
Keith Olbermann doesn't disappoint on his show last night. He lied and smeared Scott Brown because he was ahead in the polls and looks like he is going to defeat Martha "not Marsha" Coakley. The progressives are desperate enough to do something stupid today. If it's a close election tonight, watch out for the progressives to somehow find and few thousand votes in the trunk of a car and watch out for registered voters who don't exist in Massachusetts. Just ask Norm Coleman what the progressives are capable of.
The more demogogic and hate-filled the rhetoric from the left gets, the more desperate they are feeling...Also, their agenda is under attack in this election and in November, so they have to try to use distraction, strawmen, bogeymen and other irrational avenues to try to keep the attention away from the fact that their principles and tactics are being negatively characterized by the majority.....People are moving to the right and rejecting much of the Obama agenda.
Just last week, Obama said he wanted this to be a debate about his health care reform agenda and Mr. Brown has been clear throughout this campaign that he will be the 41st vote against the current legislation.....now the left is trying to say it is not about HCR and mostly about the poor democrat candidate.
Sorry....that's spin. Spin that moderate democrats will not believe and the support for the bill will evaporate if Brown wins.
What is Olby's occupation?
Dean of on-air medication?
Or crazy talking head
Chok-ful-o-med
With bitter spews of desperation?
Joe Scarborough called Olbermann out but not by name. Normally I would call this sackless but we know how much Olbermann hates it when other hosts don't give him credit.
I'll say it, Scarborough has no sack!
It's time to go Around The 'Net!
NewsBusters:
Olbermann: Scott Brown's A 'Homophobic [Ding!], Racist [Ding!], Teabagging [Ding!] Supporter of Violence Against Women'.
The Cable Game: Scarborough Attacks Olbermann!
TVNewser: Keith Olbermann: Scott Brown Is A Homophobic [Ding!], Racist [Ding!], Teabagging [Ding!], Ex-Nude Model.
National Review Online: Scarborough Taking it to the Tweets.
Now, to Friday's transcript:
"But first paying, tribute to the network that devoted its most watched hours this week not to Haiti but to the momentous news of it having hired a new commentator that it intends to force to become president of the United States. It's tonight's Worst Persons in the World.
The bronze to Sean Hannity of Fox News. 'All eyes,' he actually said on Wednesday, out loud, 'are on the Senate race in Massachusetts.'
He said this and seemed to believe it, while hundreds maybe thousands still lived trapped in the rubble in Haiti, among them people who are from what Sean Hannity modestly likes to call Hannity's America.
The runner-up is Glenn Beck of Fox News. His inability to grasp the world around him has never been more clear than this past week, talking not about Haiti—that would require not waisting an hour for an exclusive interview with a woman they're now paying to be on their channel anyway, but about Barack Obama. 'I also believe this is dividing the nation, to where the nation sees him react so rapidly on Haiti, and yet he couldn‘t react rapidly on Afghanistan; he couldn‘t react rapidly on Ft. Hood; he couldn‘t react rapidly on our own airplane with an underwear bomber.'
'Imagine,' this man continued, 'if George Bush would have waited several hours before he came out with a press conference on this, and then he have would‘ve been at a place and he would‘ve said hey, by the way, I want to thank everybody, and hey, shout out to you, and shout out to you, and it‘s great.'
Mr. Beck, were you conscious [Ding!] the day—six days after Katrina hit New Orleans when President Bush came out with a press conference and shouted out to heck of a job, Brownie [Ding!]? No wonder Mr. Beck is limited to exclusive interviews with Sarah Palin and breathless [Ding!] confessions that he'd written a Dear Diary note to himself about how nervous he was about meeting her. His brain is not worth the paper it is made out of.
But our winner, for sanctimonious dribble that out- morons [Ding!] even those of his colleagues, Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, complaining about the money. '... President Obama,' he said, 'should not just promise 100 million dollars with no accountability. Every dollar needs to be managed. And if that means the USA calls the shots, talking points says good.'
Talking points is believed to be his invisible friend [Ding!]. 'And I believe the Haitian people would say good, as well.' We handed umpteen billion taxpayer dollars to the Halliburtons [Ding!] and Blackwaters [Ding!] in Iraq; no accounting, no accountability, and no complaints from Bill O'Reilly. '... In Haiti ...,' he continued, 'billions of dollars have gone right down the drain. ... In slums like City Soleil, neighborhoods are run by drug dealers, Voodoo priests or common extortionists. State relief workers give food and clothing directly to Haitians in need. Odds are as soon as the relief person leaves, a thug will steal the charity from the poor person. Block by block in Haiti, gangsters rule ...'
How inconvenient for Mr. O'Reilly that so many of those neighborhoods have now been destroyed, and so many of those voodoo priests have been crushed to death, or that the people who know what they're talking about told him to his face that he was wrong, like Sophie Delaunay, the executive director of Doctors Without Borders.
O'Reilly, 'did they try to extort money? I've been to Haiti and those people are rough people. They'll chase you down if they can.'
Dr. Delaunay, 'no, we didn't experience this kind of problem.'
Later in the same interview; O'Reilly, 'but you haven't been shaken down by the gangsters?'
The doctor, 'no.'
O'Reilly, 'they haven't come in and stolen your supplies or anything like that?'
Doctor Delaunay, 'nope, they haven't.'
It is temping to say that this week, in ignoring Haiti in its busiest hours, except to provide excuses to harang the president of the United States, or to politicize mangled corpses, Fox News jumped a shark of some kind. It did not. It is serving its audience and the dream world [Ding!] in which it and they live, just the way its audience is served by—another's audience is served by Cartoon Network."
You have just witnessed politicizing of Haiti to harang people one doesn't like or that one loses to nightly in the ratings.
Then, there was this last night:
"But our winner tonight, Sean Hannity. These are three clips about the Massachusetts senate race. The first is from last Tuesday, hours after the Haiti earthquake. The second is from last Thursday, two days after the Haiti earthquake. And the third is from last Friday, three days after the Haiti earthquake.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: But what's amazing about—this would be a political earthquake. ...
What a political earthquake that would be. ...
If the republicans win this, a political earthquake 9.9. ...
(END VIDEO CLIP)
OLBERMANN: Three tasteless uses of the word earthquake since the Haitian earthquake, including an imaginary reading from the Richter Scale. Mr. Hannity have you ever checked? Is your head, by any chance, made out of cheese? Sean Hannity, today's worst person in the world.
The news continues to come from the actual horrors of the actual real-life earthquake. And now to continue our coverage of day seven in Haiti, ladies and gentlemen, here is Rachel Maddow. Good evening, Rachel."
Beck actually called Olbermann out by name about 5 minutes ago, complete with an airing of this rant. Normally I am in support of Fox's policy of not giving Olbermann any face time or even name recognition, but the crap he was spewing last night deserves a special shout-out.
Just a aside, Glenn Beck just mentioned "The poor Shakespearian actor" by name! Beck played Olby's comment about Brown a few minutes ago. Beck said Olby "loaded the gun and fired all six bullets"!
EPIC!

It kills Olbermann that Fox doesn't give him and facetime or name recognition. He is so status conscious that he will say a do anything to get his face and name out there. For example, look what he said about Scott Brown last night. Who in their right mind would ever call anybody a homophobe, racist, and a supporter of violence towards women and politicians without any evidence? It goes to show you that progressives are desperate and will say and do anything to keep that seat democratic (which is a cover name for the progressive party).
If we don't get our shit straight in this country, our ability to blog about and to question our government will disappear and our liberties will cease to exist. Look at what progressives do. They are attacking free speach. They attack anyone who doesn't agree with the Obama agenda or the progressive agenda. They look at the constitution as flawed and incomplete. Talking heads like Shultz, Matthews, and Olbermann are getting away with their propoganda message. Even though their audience is small compared to Fox, they still are getting their message out.
Obama offered change we can believe in and he is living up to that campaign promise. Little by little with the help of the progressives in congress he is actually changing our country. I believe sometime in the near future, the progressives are going to rage a war against our constitution. They will try their best to make it look like an unfair, outdated document. The only way we can stop it, is to teach the history of the founding of america to our children. We all know they aren't teaching it now. Thank the progressives for that.
I believe in free speech. I believe that anyone with an opinion should tell what's on their mind. But when you have people trying to bring our great nation down by saying that our country and our constitution is flawed and unfair, well to me that is hate speech at its worst. They are insulting all the veterans who laid their lives on the line from the revolutionary war to the current Iraq/Afghan wars. These people and what they fought and died for should be honored and remembered forever. The prgressives talk, not in good faith, but in hate. Look at what they say about conservatives and the tea party movement. If that is not hate, then I don't know what is.
I disagree rob5791. It is not hate speech. It is simply ignorant speech. That, unfortunately, is the other side of free speech in our republic. The situation exists for ignorance to be spouted. It should be countered with intelligent speech.
I have to agree with rob, because if it is ignorant then why all the insults to almost everybody that disagrees with him? If it's just ignorance then it begs the case that any direct insult where one totally disregards the subject matter but attacks the individuals skin color, upbringing, nationality, sex, race, party, etc...then there can never be any hate speech. Saying a guy is crazy because he disagrees with you is one thing, but libeling a guy with names such as "homophobic" "racist" without an ounce of proof as the ape ruler always does is plain and simple hate.
His obvious distain for women has been well documented here on olby watch along with his hate for Christians. Ignorance is an easy way to get around simple hate, but when the ape ruler finds someone who simply disagrees with him he almost never explains how that person is wrong without also attacking the person himself. As a matter of fact he usually never gives ANY lucid arguments of how the other guys comments are wrong outside of the fact that he doesn't agree with them.
You don't have to be an everyday watcher of this phony to witness this either because on any given day you're sure to hear some kind of putdown about the person themselves and not to what the person is saying...Disagree: and you're a "bag of smashed up meat"
Make no mistake about it, and don't ever get sucked into the Planet of the Apes like his other followers have done, because even though he IS very ignorant that takes a big backseat to his number 1 obsession which is to make personal attacks on ANYBODY who doesn't agree with his flawed and reckless agenda. He is a well oiled hate machine at its worst...with never having anybody on his show to call him out on his vile lies and treasonous ways leaving him carte blanche to attack unscathed every night...and unfortunately I feel as the worm turns towards a Republican victory come 2012 his numbers will only rise, as it is his hate that fuels his pathetic and hate-filled ape followers.
