Keith Olbermann has been running loose on Twitter again. Oh my, hide your children, he's on another tear. About the dismal ratings of A-Mess-NBC's election night:
It's almost like he was hypnotized, giving the same answer over and over. And are you ready for some ridicule? Here is Edward R Olbermann on Boehner's acceptance speech. Now if you should think that this must be a high school kid playing on his blackberry, we can assure you this is Oralmann himself:
Are these the words of a grown man? Would a sane adult actually spend hours on such juvenile sniping? We know that there are certain aspects of Keith's psyche that show signs of what might be called arrested development. He's still trying to assemble the bestest baseball card collection on the block. He obsesses over a series of children's fantasy stories. And now this odd reversion to schoolyard inanities?
Make of all this what you will, but here's liberal critic David Zurawik, who summed up Oralmann's performance last night with pluperfect clarity:
Ouch! We suspect Herr Olbermahn is already regretting doing away with the Worst Person in the Worrrrrld. Because you know he's itching for some sort of payback against Mr Z. Will he sneak it in anyhow?
Comments are open!
MKDAWUSS approves everything that happened last night on MSNBC.
How do I know this? Silence is consent.
How do I know silence is consent? Well if I recall when Scott Brown "skipped over" the shove the curling iron Olbermann argued that since Brown didn't say anything then he must approve of it.
Therefore, since MKDAWUSS hasn't shown up to challenge any of these comments, he must agree with them.
Hypocrisy's a bitch.
I'm too busy laughing myself silly reading these comments. This place reads like it's in total desperation mode. Like you're down 16 points with 1:50 to go and you're on your own 1 yard line. You're trying anything and everything that works - any slam or hit against Olby and me that you all think is going to get you somewhere.
You notice who's not in office? Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, Blanche Lincoln, Evan Bayh... The Blue Dog DINOs and the Tea Party extremists. I think this was a wake up call to the Democrat Establishment. The only question remains is what the American people can do to fight Citizens United and the fixed elections and juggernaut campaigns that it's going to produce in 2012. KO was blaring the warning signals in regards to that, though he was a bit too late for 2010 and possibly too early for 2012. One thing I hope he doesn't do is let the American people forget about Citizens U and the ramifications it's going to have in 2012, when a full election cycle has taken place since that verdict, and Presidential year elections have more money and attention than midterm elections.
I'd like to continue a topic from the last thread.
TobyTucker, obviously I'm not making myself clear. Let me explain to you something called the Independent Candidate.
I live in Rhode Island. We are a deep blue state under absolute control of the Unions.
Last night, this state elected Lincoln Chafee (I) governor. That (I) is a joke, he's a left as left can get. Frank Caprio (DINO) took himself out of the race with his "shove it" comment and John Robitaille (R) would have pulled it off if it weren't for Moderate Party candidate Ken Block. The Moderate Party also cost the Republicans Attorney General and several other independents screwed up races that could have gone GOP.
The entirety of the Republican Party could meet in a church's janitor closet and the Moderate Party doesn't have the balls to call themselves conservatives. But Block is too much of a douche to join forces and Caprio's too scared to leave the Dems. Basically the only good thing that happened in RI was we got to keep "and Providence Plantations" on the end of our state name.
Apply this to the Tea Party. Three person race in AK because Murkowski didn't like losing to the Tea Party. Three person race in FL because Crist didn't like losing to the Tea Party. Thankfully they broke the Republicans way, unlike NY-23, where Scozzafava took away enough votes from Doug Hoffman to give the seat to Bill Owens and the Democrats.
Now let's take Sarah Palin for this example. Do you really think her nomination is going to sit well with the base of the GOP? Hell. No. Whoever she beats could break off and siphon enough votes to grant the Used Car Salesman-in-Chief a second term. Maybe "batsh*t crazy" was an extreme term but the point stands.
Do you see where I'm going with this? The Moderates and the Republicans can't get along in RI and allowed the Dems a continued stranglehold on the state.
if the GOP and Tea Party can't get on the same page it will affect a lot more than two or three races next time.
You notice who wasn't around the past few days? MKDAWUSS, who continues to endorse the childish behavior of Keith Olbermann and MSNBC.
Anything to say about that or are you just gonna pretend the Democrats have no part in voter fraud?
MK, why do you continue to ignore the fact that the Democrats actually outspent the GOP in this election cycle?
Really, if you want to talk about the problem of money in politics, stop pretending like the Democrats are a victim when they are actually the biggest spender.
My guess is that you dodge this post. Just a hunch though.
I actually provided an article concerning that to MKDAWUSS.
Like the coward he is he ignored it.
Just like he's ignored the past few days. Remember, silence is consent.
Recent things MKDAWUSS has ignored:
-Dems spend/receive more money than GOP
-MSNBC's lewd behavior last night.
-Olbermann's constant Twitter hypocrisy
-His own hypocrisy regarding women's rights and the defense of misogynist Keith Olbermann
-Olbermann's lie about Brian Kilmeade
-Olbermann's hypocrisy regarding canning WPITW
That's just what I can think of right now.
So Keith once again shows he's a moron. Hey idiot, republicans won the house yesterday but they don't take over untill January 3rd, 2011. Take your "one day since republicans took over, where's the jobs" line and shove it up your hat.
I guess we can aproach Olbermann's closing statement a different way. When elected the unemployment rate was officially 6.1%. Today it stands at 9.6%. So if in 2 years the unemployment rate is under 13.1% then will Olbermann give republicans credit for doing a better hob the Obama did?
Olby has completely jumped the shark. MSNBC and their "balanced" election panel proved last night exactly how irrevelant they are. Not just the ratings, but the commentary.
Perhaps Chris Matthews should have asked Keith if he were in a trance and not Michele Bachmann
You can tell when Keith thinks he has a clever retort because he repeats it over and over and over again.

"OlbyWatch has completely jumped the shark."
fix'd
You all have become totally unhinged within the past 48 hours. Some of it's funny, the rest of it's sad.
"Recent things MKDAWUSS has ignored:"
Because I decided to spend election night on the Daily Kos and AIM/FB than OlbermannWatch. How can I respond to it if I'm not here?
-Dems spend/receive more money than GOP
Who's the biggest beneficiary of the Citizens United case? The blank check that corporations are now allowed to give (mostly Republican) candidates?
-MSNBC's lewd behavior last night.
Where was the lewd behavior? Must have taken place during the commercial breaks or something
-Olbermann's constant Twitter hypocrisy
Hypocrisy? What hypocrisy? If you're talking about the stuff at the top of the page, that's called funnies. Not hypocrisies.
-His own hypocrisy regarding women's rights and the defense of misogynist Keith Olbermann
I made a mention of this at the Daily Kos some time ago, and someone responded that that was a severe case of psychological projection. That comment was then followed by how you all need to get a life.
-Olbermann's lie about Brian Kilmeade
Nice job taking him out of context. Did you see the entire segment? I know, that contradicts the point you were trying to make.
-Olbermann's hypocrisy regarding canning WPITW
Now you're just making stuff up.
"You all have become totally unhinged within the past 48 hours. Some of it's funny, the rest of it's sad."
Why? Because we had a few discussions about the Tea Party? It's called DEBATE buddy. I know being a loyal Countdown fan you have no idea what that word means but it's what we were doing today.
Discussions were had and we agreed to disagree. That's not "unhinged".
What else was "unhinged"? Please, tell us so we don't do it again lol.
BTW spending your night on the Kos then coming here to call us sad? Pot and kettle son.
"Because I decided to spend election night on the Daily Kos and AIM/FB than OlbermannWatch. How can I respond to it if I'm not here?"
You're here plenty. Half the time you post something, someone responds and you completely ignore it and change the subject.
"Who's the biggest beneficiary of the Citizens United case? The blank check that corporations are now allowed to give (mostly Republican) candidates?"
Tell you what, when you answer for this lie I'll answer whatever bullshit you're trying to peddle.
Remember when you said this:
"Meanwhile, foreign entities have been sending money to the Chambers of Commerce, who are sending money to the Republican Party, various PACs, and political candidates in the attempts of serving those foreign entities, as Keith Olbermann's been highlighting for the past while now."
Well I said this:
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/124565-democrats-have-raised-1-million-from-foreign-affiliated-pacs
And you ignored it. Were you on Facebook then or did you just squirm away because you wouldn't admit you were wrong?
"Where was the lewd behavior? Must have taken place during the commercial breaks or something"
So calling a sitting Congresswoman a "moron" on-air isn't inappropriate behavior? Maybe you took a bathroom break during that one.
How about O'Donnell and your boy giggling like schoolchildren while Matthews was conducting an interview? That wasn't during a commercial break WUSS.
"Hypocrisy? What hypocrisy? If you're talking about the stuff at the top of the page, that's called funnies. Not hypocrisies."
Oh, so when he calls out people for making spelling and grammar errors then makes them himself he's not a hypocrite?

This is like the 20th time this story has been linked:
http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/07/08/how-to-provoke-keith-olbermann-to-make-an-ass-of-himself-on-twitter/2/
"I made a mention of this at the Daily Kos some time ago, and someone responded that that was a severe case of psychological projection. That comment was then followed by how you all need to get a life."
Waitaminute. We need to get a life? Says the guy who hangs out on Kos and AIM? HA!
Anyway, thanks for dodging the comment. You're still defending a misogynist.
"Nice job taking him out of context. Did you see the entire segment? I know, that contradicts the point you were trying to make."
I have seen the segment. Are you accusing Johnny Dollar of cutting things up?
Let's pretend he is. How come Olbermann can do it and J$ is wrong.
You're welcome to show us.
"Now you're just making stuff up."
No I'm not. And this is why you're an idiot.
Olbermann canned WPITW in the spirit of civility.
Then last night he and his clown court embarrassed their brand with their unprofessional behavior and he spent all day making "Weeper of the House" jokes.
Real civil.
If this is the best you got WUSS then it reaffirms how pathetic you are.
Let's wrap up MKDAWUSS' latest pile of garbage:
-MKDAWUSS says we're "unhinged" because apparently those of us who can think for ourselves and aren't blind ideologues had a few disagreements about the Tea Party.
-MKDAWUSS was wrong about campaign funding once, can't admit it, and is now moving to the next "Evil Con Money" argument.
-MKDAWUSS pretends the MSNBC crew didn't behave like a bunch of frat boys on a shitty college tv station Election Night.
-MKDAWUSS pretends he's never seen any of these stories about Olbermann claiming intellectual superiority over bad spellers followed by Olbermann committing a spelling error.
(at this point I would like to remind everyone of MKDAWUSS' Statute of Limitations, meaning anything Olbermann did that was more than 60 seconds ago doesn't count).
-MKDAWUSS continues to ignore his hero's seething hatred for women. Hey WUSS, do the Kossacks know you're not a fan of abortion or is that grounds for banning?
-MKDAWUSS accused Johnny Dollar of withholding information in the Brian Kilmeade video but showed no evidence.
-MKDAWUSS failed to see that getting rid of WPITW was just a stunt to pretend he's taking a more civil course. Last night's election coverage and today's Tweets prove otherwise.
Of course MKDAWUSS is always welcome to dispute this information. Because this isn't the Daily Kos. Free speech is welcome here. As is the freedom to get slammed when you lie and commit hypocrisy.
The dropping of the Worst Person segment wasn't in the spirit of civility. It's all for show. There is nothing genuine about anything Keith Olbermann does. It's all for show.
He's got issues. Jon Stewart called him out. The last time Stewart did that, Olbermann apologized. This time, he canned a segment of his show. It wasn't to be more civil. He's not going to be civil. It's just so he can say "See, Jon, I'm like you. We're on the same side! I get to be hip too!"
"Nice job taking him out of context. Did you see the entire segment? I know, that contradicts the point you were trying to make."
OK WUSS, I want you to quote the part in the 'entire segment' that 'contradicts' my claim that he lied about Kilmeade.
KILMEADE: Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
OLBY: Kilmeade said 'All Muslims are terrorists.'
I don't like being smeared by Kos smear artists, so I'll give you a choice. Prove that Olbermann quote of Kilmeade was accurate, or retract your claim that my video is dishonest.
Your choice, but it will be one or the other.
Shut up bobbytomale! You're unhinged! LOLOLOLOL!
Seriously though we all know the reasons behind the WPITW segment toss and we all know it will return eventually.
Except for MKDAWUSS of course. He's not smart enough to understand the real reasons behind this move.
You know, maybe all of us are unhinged. Who would know better than the Kossacks, who brought us "If you oppose the President, you're a racist" and numerous Dick Cheney death scenarios?
HOWEVER, I don't know if anyone is noticing this, but that little countdown in the corner is down to ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN DAYS.
Will Olbermann re-sign legit? Will MSNBC tell him to screw? Or will he get a fat contract and get fired Jeff Zucker style?
"Your choice, but it will be one or the other."
Why one or the other dude? You know he ain't got that answer. Let him sink himself.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ns/msnbc_tv-countdown_with_keith_olbermann/#39694418
What's that? That's not even the segment we're talking about! That's not the segment where he lied about Brian Kilmeade.
To refresh your memory: you said I took it Olby's lie out of context. I asked for proof. You give me something he said on an entirely different show!
One more time: either you prove I took that Olby lie out of context, or you retract your attack on my honesty. Of course you can do neither, but I assume you want to continue commenting here. So the decision is yours.
He also reaffirmed that Chamber of Commerce lie he spewed out recently.
Good job MKDAWUSS. I imagine if your Kossack friends ever read anything posted here they'd ban you for being an idiot.
This comment has been removed by the moderator. All future WUSS comments will be removed until he does one of two things:
1. Prove his claim that Olby's phony quote of Kilmeade ('All Muslims are terrorists') was 'out of context' based on the entire segment it was taken from.
Or B. Take back his attack on my honesty and admit it was not out of context.
What Olby said on some other day does not affect the context of the lie (claiming Kilmeade said 'All Muslims are terrorists') on the day Olby said the lie. WUSS, you won't have an infinite number of chances to respond. So choose your next comment wisely. --J$
You know, I thought when you said "watched the whole segment" you meant "watched the whole Fox News segment", like you actually had evidence of Kilmeade said the phrase "All Muslims are terrorists". Now I saw it, but hey, I can't catch everything, maybe you would've been right on this one.
Silly me thinking you would confirm Olbermann's comments before doubling down on the lie. THERE INSN'T EVEN ANY VIDEO IN THAT SEGMENT OF KILMEADE IS THERE! JUST WORDS ON THE SCREEN! WAS THERE EVEN A SOURCE!
J$, why you doing this.
First off, if you need to retract anything it's you referring to MKDAWUSS as a Kos smear artist. An artist is "a person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill" and calling this guy a Kos smear artist is an insult to all the hard working smear artists at Kos who work diligently to trash opposing views.
Secondly, I know your mad about being called a liar but look, MKDAWUSS does more harm for the Kossacks by posting here. They can all come here and post right?
I'm just saying
Those are cogent points. I will take them in mind when WUSS either proves my post wrong or retracts his smear of my honesty.
Ahh come on man. Don't you like to be right?
I love being right. So if someone prints a lie 10 times I get to be right 10 times. See where I'm going with this?
BUT, it is your Web Site. And 1. or B? Kinda funny.
Yeah. I'll echo cjflan's comments.
Let MKDAWUSS post what he wants. He only makes himself look bad. And this may be somewhat of a misunderstanding anyway. Keith Olbermann made Kilmeade worst person in the world for those comments. But the quote you are referencing J$, is from a subsequent show. MKDAWUSS may have just misunderstood, and was unaware of the second reference.
Well I understand what you guys are saying. But it's not you that WUSS smeared as dishonest. He all but called me a liar for some sort of tricky out-of-context editing that exists only in his own fevered fantasies. I know this sort of personal smear is coin of the realm at Kos, but I don't like it here, especially since I'm the smearee!
It looks to me like Olbermann doubled down on this AFTER Kilmeade apologized. I suppose J$ could have added the radio parts but the point stands. Chris Matthews can call West Point the "enemy camp", apologize and all is forgive. Brian Kilmeade can say something just as stupid, apologize and still get called out for it.
And that clip MKDAWUSS provided still did not have Kilmeade saying "All Muslims are terrorist".
bobbytomale, it's nice that you think MKDAWUSS is smart enough to understand the difference between "All Muslims are terrorist" and "All terrorists are Muslims" but he really isn't. This is the far left we're dealing with. They either don't understand or don't want to understand.
Now I apparently got my wires crossed on the comment that started "You know, I thought when you said..." and I apologize for that. You see MKDAWUSS, I apologize when I make a mistake. It's what honest people do. You should try it.
It's cool J$. Your video stands up, as does MKDAWUSS' "opposing" evidence.
And again, I apologize to MKDAWUSS for not realizing Kilmeade started this on the radio. I thought it was a F&F segment followed by an apology the next time up.
If there's anyone keeping score at home I apologized for my mistake and MKDAWUSS has not apologized for any of the mistakes he's presented here, which much be close to the century mark by now.
I disagree with CJ and Bobby. This site is richer with the absence of trolls like Wuss. I'm glad he did himself in. The less troll-induced-and-bait-taken chaos here, the better.
You need some dissent though, no matter how "troll-like" it may be.
Legitimate dissenters don't attach obnoxious pictures to their comments like he did, nor do they use internet memes like fail. I can't stand illegitimate dissent. Patrick Heckman, Wuss, MikeH, and trolls at other sites made me afraid to comment. It's like someone breaking into your house or harassing you on the street or school. So, I am relieved when trolls are banned or "exiled" at J$P. I'm even more relieved when it happens here because removal is so rare.
Getting back to Olby, here are two links:
Lachlan Markay: Study: Keith 'I'm Not a Liberal' Olbermann Avoids Conservative Guests Like Plague
David Zurawik: MSNBC election night antics: Let's not move on
Twittermann's intolerant reactions to Z:
1) "Some are locked in 1990, some stuck in 1899. Mr Zurawik is still upset at the horrible liberal evil known as the printing press. & 'thought'"
2) "If you'd enjoy the least-informed, most irrationally angry & least aware of his own bias guy in newspapers, try David Zurawik of Balt. Sun"
You don't mess with the Olbermoronn.
Markay referenced Stu Bykofsky's study.
I've been banned 3 times at the Daily Kook. Twice for (God forbid) dissenting opinions about Obama and Olby. I never attacked anyone or used profanity...just gave my personal opinion that was backed with facts and links. The third time was for recommending a comment with a + sign. No comment, just a recommendation was enough for them to delete my account.
Just read the Markay study at Newsbusters.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lachlan-markay/2010/11/04/study-keith-im-not-liberal-olbermann-avoids-conservative-guests-plag
Facts do not matter on OlbyPlanet...or to some posters here.
Sorry to change the subject but I have a serious question about Ed Schultz. Was Ed drinking at that Reid celebration? I watched *all* of the coverage that night and his speech kept getting more and more slurred. His eyes became bloodshot. At one point they came to him with his glasses on and he was snacking on something. I can't find where anyone is talking about this. Wondering if it was just me....
Wait -- a site which refers to the guy as "Herr Olbermahn" dares to complain that *Olbermann* is being childish?
Not very persuasive, Mr. Dollar.
