The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann has been a busy beaver today. Since he has people to write Countdown for him, he can afford to diddle away on his blog of choice, Daily Kos. (Of course it's not beyond belief that ghost writers provide the Kos material as well. But if so they must be pretty disreputable ghosts. With soiled sheets.)
Today his contribution to Markos "Screw 'Em" Malicious is a lengthy diatribe about the evil Rush Limbaugh. It's bereft of even a modicum of logical thought (like when he talks about the estate tax rate--he's not countering Limbaugh at all, but actually reinforcing Limbaugh's point, but Oralmann is too dense to realize it). Plus there's this gem, which just about every who reads OlbyWatch knew would be coming:
Steinbrenner made no secret that he was a viewer of mine, at ESPN, and MSNBC.
Right on time: the retroactive "fan" whose adoration of Edward R Olbermann only gets mentioned after his death. Considering how insensitive this oft-used self-promotional Olby gambit is, it's that much more hypocritical to find him superciliously cluck-clucking at Limbaugh for making a political point on the day someone died. (Which, if you think about it, is, like, every day.) To wit:
You turned a man's death into a race-baiting joke....the timing of this remark is just as callous, and just as sleazy...
Right, It's not callous and sleazy to trade on his death to inflate your barrage-balloon-sized ego, is it Keith? But hey, you're a Daily Kos diarist. You love the place: it's a "nice site"! And while you're puffing up your own reputation by promoting unverified post-mortem claims from someone who is now conveniently unable to contradict, your "nice site" was avoiding being "sleazy" and "callous" as they discussed the heart surgery of Dick Cheney:
That's what you find on Keith Olbermann's blog. And he's calling someone else "callous" and "sleazy"? Hey Olby, before you want to toss dirt on others, you should quit wallowing in the sewer yourself.
Comments are open!
And in another moment of Olby-Hiprocacy, Keith didn't bat an eye using his father's death while pimping Obama Care. "Do it for Theo!" was his warcry.
"If you want to listen to what a George Steinbrenner tribute is supposed to sound like, listen to KO's #2 and #1 stories."--MKDAWUSS from the last post.
I should hope when I die people talk about ME and not themselves.
I will not be the least bit surprised the day Olbermann holds a fake, premature eulogy or wake for himself.
We could do a eulogy or wake for his ratings or believability now ...
WOW! This is fucking insane! So, there were 'death threats' at the NAALCP headquaters? Are you fucking kidding me? Unless you have tape of it Mr. Jealous, you've got nothing. Please, most of your members might have come down with the last drop of rain, but we havent. And we'll call you on it.
That's not your blood pressure going off the scales, it's your daily update on the heart values for loggers crowd..... TEE TIME. I should cut down on salt, really.
No tea, sorry folks.
Get out your houseboys and hydrochloric acid, it's time for the WPITW abstract. Do the dew edition.
Bronze: Karen Angle. For asking for money on FNC.
Silver: Some lady who made a fan movie about having Glenn Beck for president. CRIME.
GOLD!!: RUSHBO REPEAT!!!! For his 'double down' on Stienbrenner. The difference between Rush's DD and Keith's DD about Lincoln is that Rush is right. He was right yesterday and he was right today. And Keith, you're still wrong. And he repeats that lie about the NBPP and how it was Bush's DoJ that dropped charges. Wow you'd think Keith would get tired of it. Keith is having a orgasm attacking everything he hates. And right now, Rush is smiling cause he got the monkey to dance. Dance, Keith, Dance!
Another award winning countdown to stupidity.
OBSERVERS NOTE: The NAACP came out today with a resolution condeming Racism, naming the TEA PARTY as a group of predominantly racist bigots? Hmmm ... isn't the Organization NAACP racist in itself ... by definition of it's own NAME? What would an Organization called the National Association for the Advancement of White People be branded? Possibly racist? How about the "Black Caucus" in Congress? Should there be a "White Caucus" to balance? Define racist. Who does the race bating? Could Jesse Jackson survive without the dollars he extorts and otherwise derives from race bating? Could Al Sharpton, Barbara Lee, Charlie Rangel, etc. survive or even hold office? Would a white person who said that we should kill all black people (Ni**ers) and their babies be allowed to stand outside a voting precinct in uniform carrying a "billy club" and intimidating voters not be prosecuted? or even mentioned by the President he was supporting? Just wondering ...

You know, that's a good question. There is a double-standard when it comes to race, and both sides do it. Case it point: Rush Limbaugh's unnecessary slam on George Steinbrenner.
I don't think racism will ever go away because people on both sides keep fueling the fire all while wondering when racism will go away...
CLEARLY, just based on that less-than-a-minute video you linked yesterday MKDAWUSS, Limbaugh was making reference to the New Black Panther voter intimidation controversy. Why else would a racist white person call another white person a cracker? Why would a racist white person take the time to refer to black people as African Americans instead of some other derogatory term? His point was that Steinbrenner helped black people gain riches and was not an "evil" white man contrary to certain racists' beliefs. His logic requires some knowledge of current events.
I'll take it a step further. The DOJ filed charges of voter intimidation under the 1965 Voting Rights Act against the two men at the Philadelphia polling precinct, the NBPP and the head of the NBPP. The case was filed in January 2009 under President Bush. You have the video tape and witness testimony stating the two men stated, "You’re about to be ruled by the black man, Cracker" and called people "white devils".
Fast forward to their court date. They do not even show up for court, they do not file any papers and simply ignored the charges. The judge issues a default judgment. It was done. All the DOJ had to do is tell the judge what they wanted for punishment. But the case was dismissed on May 15. All the charges were dropped against three of the defendants and the final order against one of the defendants (with the baton) was a timid restraint. Prohibited from appearing at any Philadelphia polls until 2012.
Just imagine for one second if this had been two KKK members and their case was dismissed under President Bush? Olby would have a conniption fit, called for Bush's resignation (again) and cover the story for a month straight. But since the shoe is on the other foot, it's no big deal on Olby Planet. In fact, Olby blamed it on President Bush (shocker) stating it was his DOJ that did not prosecute the case. The case was filed 2 weeks before Bush left office but it was not until April 2009 (the default judgment) that the DOJ dropped the charges against the party, its chairman and the man who was not carrying a club.
So it's business as usual on Meltdown. When you cannot avoid a story (and they tried) that makes Obama look bad just blame it on President Bush...over and over again.
Pathetic.
MKDAWUSS, I done tol' you and tol' you and tol' you there was nothing untoward in what Russ said. Only mentally ill people find racism behind every tree. And the crap that tingly leg Chris Mouthooze keeps saying about Russ being the leader of the Republican Party reveals the terminal stupidity eating his brain. MSNBC is a loony bin!
Okay, I just saw the WPITW segment. What was Limbaugh's response? Olbermann was talking to fast. From what I heard it sounded like Limbaugh meant what I previously figured he meant.
And did Olbermann really say something to the effect that we should not judge a body of people based on the actions of a few? Oh the irony...
Didn't keech take a dig at George Steinbrenner when he said George only made about 7 or 8 black millionaires out of twenty something or thereabouts? Russ was making nice and keech called him on it to say George didn't really do that well by blacks. You can't have it both ways, idiot!!
Yeah. Keith is being intentionally dishonest about the DOJ stuff. He lists that the charges were "downgraded" from criminal to civil before Obama's guys took over.
But the charges weren't tossed out until later. My understanding, though I am no expert, was that they won a default judgment in the civil case but dropped it for no apparent reason, despite winning the default judgment.
Also. To MKDAWUSS. How did Rush "slam" Steinbrenner? He was mocking a few things. One being liberals dislike of capitalism. Two being liberals cries of racism. He was referencing the "You gonna have to kill some crackers to get freedom" crap that New Black Panther guy was saying.
Steinbrenner "was a viewer of mine"
Olberdouchenozzle did opine
Now that George is dead
Olby knows what he said
Posthumously Keith will define
I had to share this tweet from Cankles:
@frankie_sayss we have surprisingly good ratings among 18-25 year olds so many thanks and you are not alone!
Huh? Oh, I get it now...it's another demo that doesn't exist and impossible to prove or disprove. Notice how Olby doesn't get specific with this ratings "demo"?
What's next...Olby will declare he has the highest rated cable news program not on Fox? Wait......never mind.
"Hack" doesn't even begin to describe this idiot.
The other day, Olbermoron insulted a 9 year old girl on Twitter, and then ran away denying he did anything wrong. Any update with that?
"a secret fan"? I guess Keith has a lot of 'secret fans'. So secret, not even Nielsen knows about them.
