Didn't we just have one of these last week? Never mind, the free world cannot survive without the deep thoughts of ex-CNNer, ex-FSNer, ex-ESPNer, ex-NBC-Footballer Keith Olbermann. Olby, who is an 'ex' in more ways than one, is pretty easy to predict on these things. We'll take a stab in the dark on what to expect this time:
It's another night of must-miss tv. Comments are open!
UPDATE: Listen to tonight's Special Education Komment without having to put up with Olby histrionics. Courtesy of MikeC, here's the SEK delivered by the OlbyRobot.
I fully expect for him to eventually accuse Faux News and the Republicans of shamelessly capitalizing on the grief of the 9-11 victim’s families in order to promote hate.
I will tune in at 8:59 just to see the hand off to Rick.
From BigHollywood.com, tonight's Daily Gut by Gutfeild. Sure to be dinged by Olby.
So last week President Obama backed the Ground Zero mosque – a reflection, he says, of our commitment to religious tolerance. But later he barfed…
“I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That’s what our country is about. And I think it’s very important as difficult as some of these issues are that we stay focused on who we are as a people and what our values are all about.”
So when the chips are down, Barack Obama is less a President than a lawyer, carefully parsing out manicured statements, designed to straddle fences. It sucks – because he could have done something awesome. We already get that Muslims have the same rights as we do – and that makes us great, etc.
But Obama should have added what really makes us great: we’re not jerks. We have good manners. We think the mosque isn’t illegal, but it is stupid. If he had said to the mosque-teers, “knock it off guys,” he would have been a hero.
But he can’t do that – largely because of fear – not of Islamic rage, but accusations of Islamophobia.
The fear of appearing insensitive is driving our government’s behavior, which scares the crap out of me. Funny how we are asked to tolerate an ideology that would end our ability to tolerate, period. Sharia Law is not a new cop show on USA Network.
Instead, by saying his support reflects our nation’s religious tolerance, Obama suggests the rest of us are religious bigots. Worse, he avoids appealing to common sense, and reveals America’s true vulnerability.
The Mosque developers know this. It’s why they’ve embraced the progressive word of the decade: tolerance. They are demanding that we tolerate a doctrine that enforces intolerance. And if you don’t tolerate intolerance, then you, in fact, are intolerant. You are a bigot, for rejecting bigotry.
If Obama had balls, he would have paired his mosque endorsement with a condemnation of Sharia Law, of terror groups like Hamas, and then asked the mosque developers to consider Americans who lost family and friends on 9/11.
But they don’t teach that crap at Harvard Law.
And if you disagree with me you’re a racist homophobe.
P.S. I’ve changed my mind – thinking of going with Bill Schulz’s suggestion for the gay bar name:
“DIALOG!!!”
That way, when asked, I can say – yes, I am building dialogue.
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ggutfeld/2010/08/16/obamas-mickey-mosque-club/#IDComment93529225
Talking about disingenuous! Olby blasts Newt for 'playing the nazi' card, are you fucking serious? Well, I guess Keith is pissed that Newt stole it from him.
And he tells us that we have a special KKKoment twice? ONCE IS ENOUGH, BITCH!!
Found this on the Ed Shultz forum. The Special Comment Drinking game.
While watching tonights special, take a drink every time Keith does one of the following:
Says "sir" in anger. (Three if it's a "How dare you, sir!)
Mentions Sarah Palin (Two if he throws in a pejorative like "failed" or "quitter" first, three if he talks about Trig and the health care he got.)
Each time he mentions the bogus 44,000 people who die each year for lack of health insurance number.
Each time he mentions 46, 47 or 50 million uninsured. (Do a shot if he uses the new 30 million number.)
Praises Canada, France or the UK. (Second sip when he says long lines are a lie.)
Each time he says "death panel" and Palin.
Each time he claims Republicans have no plan or solutions. Do a shot when he says Republicans want people to die.
With every mention of Rush, Hannity, Beck or Levin (aka people with an audience).
Finish your drink each time he exploits someone's personal health care horror story and presents it as the norm.
Chug from the bottle if he mentions the fact that Medicare rejects more claims than any other insurance plan in the country.
Finish the bottle if he tells the truth about anything, accidentally or on purpose.
I'll play my verison of the Keith Olbermann drinking game. Once Olby starts talking, I'll start drinking.
Why is Keith talking about something he knows nothing about? This comment is aimed at his #3 story attacking Rand Paul (who is ahead of Jack Conway by 6.5 points in the RCP average). And who is running the audio for this trainwreck? Monkeys? Or is that racist. Paul is right. Rules should be handled by the state not federal.
What Keith? You couldn't get Ashley Judd to trash Kentucky Coal, cause she turned you down? So you find this broad who is so ugly that she isn't even on camera. And Keith, SHE IS IN THE MINORITY!!! I LIVE IN KY. AND COAL IS ONE OF OUR LIFEBLOODS! You screw with that, you screw with the state. GET OUT OF OUR BUSINESS!
And Keith, I call bullshit on the Dukes of Hazard statement.
No shortage of Nazi references in that Special Comment.
Okay, let's get this over with.
No, that's not Keithy-poo getting it wrong with his master Obama, it's your daily check-up on the nothings for nitwits crowd.... TEE TIME!
Tonight's tea is served to no one, preview of Worst and the threat of the special kkkomment. First in the end of #3, Keith told a lie (shocker). He said people didn't want the Mosque built in NYC, were aren't saying that. What we are saying is that it shouldn't be built near ground zero. Build it next to 30 Rock.
Get out your guide books and your copy of Madden 11, it's the WPITW Abstract.
Bronze- Bubba the bear- for attacking lake Tahoe. Says bear leaves stinky basketball sized deposits. Much like Keith does.
Silver- BECK-O for the sin of promoting his "I have a scheme " speech. Stating it's almost sold out. Keith is just jealous that he can't draw flies.
GOLD- Jo Bader for bashing a project for a high speed rail on Twitter, uses a video called "ride the train". How dare she used twitter for her political purposes, ONLY KEITH CAN DO THAT!!!!
OH GOD, IT'S B.O.H.I.C.A time (bend over, here it comes AGAIN!) Special KKKOMENT TIME!! I'm just going to count how many things Keith got wrong.
Keith, the 'religious center' builders said it will have a MOSQUE! So, please just try to be honest.
So Keith is saying that we are going to have a mulism holocaust? Are you that stupid, Keith. NO INSULT TO 9/11 VICTIMS? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? Many church in Ky, have Kitchens and basketball courts. AND THEY ARE STILL CHURCHES!!!!
I abore violence of any kind. But that doesn't give Muslims free licnese to spit in America's eye.
And Islam has a bad habit of puting up Mosques in their conqured lands, that is what Cordorba house was about. If you think Islam is so fucking great, why don't you become a muslim.
Johnny got the location blast right, good going Johnny!!
So you're saying since there are other demoninations near Ground Zero, therefore a Mosque is okay? And to hell with that mother of a victim, she should kneel down and worship islam like Keith does.
DEAR GOD MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY!!!!! Eight minutes in and he hasn't told one truth yet. It's a good thing I put all my knifes out of my apartment, cause right now I want to cut my wrists.
Ten Minutes in, and I'm losing my mind, AND NOW HE BRINGS UP KENNEDY? HOW LOW CAN KEITH SINK? Xenophobia? Really? A
And now Keith makes the leap of logic that we are trying to remove permits for any mosques in America?
I've found a straw and I am currently poking out my eardrums, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!
THANK GOD IT'S OVER!!!
Another award winning countdown to my sanity going away. Shit!
Hey SVYVN11, where you at in KY? I'm up here, 20 minutes south of Cincinnati.
Old OlberAss is about to blow his cork. His Democrats are a sinking ship with no retreat in sight. This November is going to be a blow out. This one term moron of a president will be wishing that he'd of resigned about this time now. Obama is an imbarassment to this country and the world. The purple lipped idiot from Chicago is going down.
Louisville. But we know what goes on in our state better than Olby. We know our needs better than the federal government.
syvyn11, we're up here just south of Florence. We went down to Gatlinburg this past weekend and it was mostly Republicans down there waving flags and showing our true colors
#5A: A Muslim 9/11 responder who supports the Mosque/Community Center. (There, Keith. I added the Community Center part. Happy? Of course not. To you, I'm a far-right lunatic fringer Nazi.)
#5B: Far-left Center for American Progress person Alex Wagner calls out supposed insensitive politicians.
#4: A hate-Bush segment, re: leaving Iraq.
I got to say that it's amazing how mush manure Keith can shovel into 10 seconds (roughly the time I tuned in to see if he was working today). He was talking about the mosque in New York with some woman and the two of them were saying that people requesting the mosque to be moved are using "collective guilt" on all American muslims and how wrong that is. This coming from the same man that calls all Tea party members racist because of a few signs, the same man that says all white people are racists because as a kid his uncles made off-colored jokes, the same man that calls everyone he disagrees with a racist. "Collective guilt" is the liberals bread and butter, to bad Olby is to big a hypocrite to admit it.
That was one deep SpecComm.
Isn't this Islamic building in NYC essentially going to be their own version of the YMCA?
I see that this story has gone through numerous misrepresentations. I first thought that this was going to be a mosque that was going to be built right on top of where the WTC once stood. Now THAT would have been cause for outrage, as I think that location should be religiously neutral. But instead, it's several intersections away, and apparently the only thing religious about it is the prayer space that'll be inside it.
Also, if they were going to build a "victory mosque" like many of you people claim, where's the one in DC?
I'll admit that there is a slight double-standard when it comes to religious expression, but that's another topic in and of itself right there.
Wow. I didn't think it was possible, buy Wussy is about just as wrong as Olby. Suprise. As for 'being deep', I agree, if by being 'deep' means being a complete fool.
I'm sorry, but I must disagree about almost everything that keith says on basic principal. And there is a victory mosque in Washington DC, it's called 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
And in Nov 2012, it goes back to the people.
OK Keith, I'll explain this so even you can understand. It's NOT about building the mosque, it's about common sense, sensitivity and respect. Respect for the families and friends that lost loved ones on 9/11. You don't build a Muslim mosque 2 blocks from ground zero...that is just stupid and disrespectful. And if I have to explain why then you are dumber than you look. Nobody is saying that you cannot build a mosque...just not there, not ever. Just like you shouldn't build a mosque next to the Pentagon or in Shanksville, PA.
As for Obama on the subject...it's just another example of going against what the American people want. From Health Care to trying KSM in Manhattan to suing Arizona to the Cambridge Police Department...this guy just does not get it. I heard someone say that Obama is not a liberal...he is a radical, and they were right.
Wuss...shouldn't you be over at the Daily Kook with all the other America-hating loons? I'm sure they are missing your intellect and wisdom.
i dont know if anybody else caught it--but in the 10 seconds i watched the show--in the segment about iraq--olbermoron said "combat bridges"--when he obviously meant "combat brigades"--of course he talks so fast and raises so much bile in a listener--it was easy to miss. he missed his true calling of an insurance salesman--or commie agitater either one fits him.
That was one deep SpecComm...Wuss
About as deep as a pig sty...shit and all.
To defend this assinine decision, the ape ruler does it again. I've said it before here, and I fear that there will be many more times I will have to say it again, but unfortunately the anti-American left has left me no choice, as their selective memory does not register any horrific deeds done to Americans.
I was there the next day. The smell of death hit me as I was approaching ground zero. Something akin to wet cardboard left out in the rain for days, combined with some kind of rotten food. The damage done cannot be explained, and it went on for blocks. For certain, past where this Mosque will be built. I had a feeling I was in some worn torn country, and not the city where I lived for 12 years.
It bears repeating, that I saw a skeleton completely void of any clothing, yet fully intact with a badge number of some policeman impacted perfectly into his breast bone. Like it came from some college science class. More limbs and skin spewed all over for blocks...not feet...but BLOCKS! and sidewalks sprayed with blood every 10 feet or so.
I got sick many times throughout those 2 days I helped, both physically and mentally, but I swore I would never ever forget what I witnessed, nor would I forgive those responsible. These weren't just my fellow New Yorkers i mourned for, but my fellow Americans. Americans, who did nothing more than to get up to go to work to live their American Dream. They represented me and all of us, and BELIEVE me when we all finally had enough after 48 hours of shoveling shit, body parts, skin and blood into bags we knew there were people out there who would forget what happened there that day. We KNEW it. We talked on the train going home, that it was unfortunate that the ones who would forget weren't there with us, because then they'd NEVER forget.
This Mosque issue is not only about losing relatives and friends, as it's also about remembering WHO did it and WHY, and for ALL of us NEVER to forget.
A Mosque to be built LESS than 10 years after the worst hit this country has ever had on its mainland, and this anti-American scum can give a 10 minute special komment on the proximity of Ground Zero to it, and the right to have it built there?! Is he KIDDING me?!
I wish I had taken pictures that day, but the thought of descecrating the fallen is not what I'm about, yet damn, for the assholes of the world like him they NEED to see what really happened. Up close and personal.
What a real shit this apeman is. A real loser...
Now, time for my special comment on the special comment....
I just don't know what to say. I watched the entire thing... TWICE. And I am stumped to about what to say. (dramatic head turn to camera)
But I must speak, or I will not be heard.
(dramatic pause)
SIR! You are the biggest piece of shit to ever walk the earth. But why repeat something I've said over and over every freaking day. Let me tell a story.
(dramatic head turn)
It's a story about a guy. He was a sports host on a start up cable channel called ESPN2. It was basically him wearing a varsity jacket, a chick and Jim Rome getting beaten up by Jim Everet (don't call him Chrissy). But soon Sportscenter came a calling and he worked with another b lister at the net and their act worked for a while, until his ego got the better of him. Then he floundered to network to network. You guessed it, I'm talking about Chris Myers. But what does THIS has to do with Olby....? NOTHING! Just like the special comment has nothing to do with reality.
Now, my special comment of the special comment about the special comment.
Did anyone catch Rissoli and Issles tonight? Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander played a lesbian couple. I like lesbians. I guess that makes me a lesbian too.
I am reminded of a bus ride I took, I sat down next to a comely lady. I asked her if she wanted to do the nasty. She told me "I'm a lesbian" I said "so what". She says "See that asian girl with the big boobs, I want to kiss her from head to toe and take her home and make sweet passionate love to her". I said "GODDAMN IT!! I WANT TO DO THE SAME THING!!!! I'M A LESBIAN TOO!!!!" That woman? Rachel Maddow. Right after that she 'butched' up. What can I say, I was drunk. What does this have to do with anything? NOTHING!!! Just like Keith's special ed KKKoment.
Good night and get lost!
That said, Beck, Laura and Gibby will all have comments on the comment.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brad-wilmouth/2010/08/17/olbermann-hints-moral-equivalence-between-u-s-islamic-empire-blocking
Newsbusters examines the special comment.
There isn't any issue that makes Olbermoron more unhinged than 911. He knows it is an effective issue for the Republicans, so it drives him crazy. Want to send Olbermoron off the deep end? Just say liberals are soft on terror and have forgotten 911. You may remember back to the Republican Convention. They showed a film with some cuts from 911 and Olberidiot when ballistic right on the air. NBC fired his ass and had him escorted from the building on the spot. Of course, Olbermoron tried to say that "he needed to leave the Convention because of his personal safety", but that lie was exposed when NBC announced that he was fired from further coverage of the Convention. Wonder how Olberfuehur feels about his hero Harry Reid being opposed to the Ground Zero Mosque...what do you think Keithy? Reid agrees with Sharon Angle! Oh My God, he must be an intollerant R...A...C...I...S...T!
Laura is off and I don't know what John did, but here is Glenn's apt mockery of the Special Education Komment.
Wuss, if you want to read/hear something deep (and not fake indignation) do me a favor and read Wolverine's post.
Blago guilty of perjury.
Olby running to the tub.
Is Norah O'Donnell a drunk? Cause they had her ANCHORING the news on MSNBC in a montoge on O'Reilly just now and it looked like she was sluring her words. If I worked at MSNBC, I would have to be a drunk too.
Bobby Thompson the man who hit the shot heard around the world in 1951 died today.
Any bets Keith will say Bobby was a big fan of the show?
I wonder if Keithy-poo can look the camera and tell us that with a straight face that no one at MSNBC or NBC news gave one penny to Democrats? Can you be that honest Keith?
That's not campaign donations rolling in, it's your daily check up on the Liars for Liberals crowd........ TEE TIME!!!! Damn that evil FIXED NEWS!!!!
A hot cup of tea goes to The Military. Olby brings up WHY we shouldn't leave Iraq. We are losing Iraq slowly but surely and all Olby can say to King Obama is "good job". Vietnam all over again. God help the people of Iraq. Cause Obama won't.
Get out your mattresses and box springs, it's the WPITW abstact.
Bronze- Rush-bo for bashing king Obama. SINNER! Changes from calling him 'it' to "tokyo rose". CLASSY!
Silver- BECK-O, for bashing Iman Ralph! SINNER!!!! You can't trash Olby's new religion.
GOLD- Some chick for committing crimes running away. Olby hates chicks. But this one is creepy, creepier than Keith? Yeah, Keith is the creepiest of them all.
ANOTHER AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN TO KEITH GETTING A CLUE.
So what all do you make of his addendum regarding the nightly news before Oddball? Apology, backpedaling, or clarification?
By syvyn11 on August 17, 2010 8:46 PM
"I wonder if Keithy-poo can look the camera and tell us that with a straight face that no one at MSNBC or NBC news gave one penny to Democrats? Can you be that honest Keith?"
Of course he can't,if he did he would have to investigate his own boss! Jeff Immelt was also named one of the five worst Non-Financial-Crisis-Related CEOs of 2008 by the Free Enterprise Action Fund. Since taking over, GE's stock has dropped nearly 60%. In February 2009, Immelt was appointed as a member to the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board to provide the president and his administration with advice and counsel in fixing America's economic downturn.
One of the five WORST CEOs and he gets appointed to Obama's circle?
#5A: Islamophobia! [Ding!] Corey Slayor of CAIR was the guest. He was so thankful he wasn't on "The O'Reilly Factor" like his colleague Nihad Awad was two weeks ago, or "Money Rocks" like his other colleague Ibrahim Hooper last night. Freedom of religion was never a factor on OlbyPlanet...until now. Olbypocrisy? Uh, maybe.
#5B: GOP using mosque controversy as a ploy. Geno Robinson agreed. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Great thanks, Gene.
#4: Spike Lee was on to talk about his Katrina doc. I didn't watch (sue me, MK), but I'm sure the talking points were: Bush is evil! Heck of a job!
#3: Olby's response to his Olbsession's hit on GE last night was...Rupert Murdoch donated to the Republican Governors Association. Gotcha! The least-likable Eric Burns of Media Matters, Olby's blue blog brethren, was the guest.
#1: Making fun of Dick Armey with another guy from a blue blog source, Salon.
Mission accomplished, Deepwater. GN/GL. Good evening, Rachel.
Twitter update: Olby delighted in Dr. Laura Schlessinger's decision to quit her radio show. He did so by adding several N's to her last name. "Apparently she's taking her swill door to door." Like you'll be soon?
MKDAWUSS, I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to your 9:35 comment, maybe it's warranted, maybe it isn't.
Either way, you're the last who should be asking for apologies, backpedaling and clarifications you f****** hypocrite.
I won't even address Olby's tweet shot at Glenn Beck.
Olbermann's obsession with Fox seems to be hitting critical mass tonight. In the last hour alone, I count 8 tweets bitching about the Republican Governors association donation, plus a handful of tweets championing that "highest rated cable news show since Fox isn't news" crap he peddles since he can't keep up in the ratings.
I think that Beck's direct attack on him isn't sitting very well at his MSNBC ivory tower. And yes, although Mike C won't allude to the tweet, I will drop a hint that he was making another HILARIOUS and INTELLECTUAL penis joke regarding Beck. That sure showed him!
Dick jokes? Olby is reduced to dick jokes? I have no words to tell you how disgusted I am with Olby. The dick joke is the last refuge of the numskull. Because they have a small dick themselves.
He stalked his buddy's teenage daughter
Baseball cards, Star Wars, Harry Potter
Olby's one sick pup
Katy's trading up
Poor Keith was convinced that he bought her
At the top of the show, Olby non-apologized for the O'Reilly father attack last week after Bill's GE segment Monday. "Last night on his program, Bill O'Reilly went after MSNBC's parent company, GE, for something that even O'Reilly acknowledged was 'hard to be outraged about.' It was not news, but appears to be a response to some over-the-top remarks made here about O'Reilly." Oh, you mean these? "There's been a lot of amateur psychoanalysis of what O'Reilly is doing this time. If you've read Marvin Kitman's autobiography or biography of O'Reilly, it's pretty simple. Virtually every reference O'Reilly makes to his own father describes how the man hit, slapped, punched him. As Kitman put it, simply, 'O'Reilly has a history of physical abuse from his father.' It is actually very sad."
Meanwhile, NewsBusters has a recap of Monday's #4.
