Gibson Nails Keith Olbermann for Constitution Comments!
Meanwhile, on tonight's Hour of Spin:
Olby reports on how 'Boehner's GOP' read the constitution aloud. Chortle about two members not sworn in. Left and Leftier (Geno and Maibbi) are the puppets.
Oralmann outrage over spirituality in the military.
Time to bash Goldman Sachs for buying part of Facebook. Hey Olbermahn, you had your chance to object to Goldman being bailed out and you missed it. Parrot: Robert Reiicccchhhhhh (D).
Discredited Dave will attack birthers.
MSNBC hires homeless man to do voiceovers.
Attack on O'Reilly for talk of tides and the Deity. This will clearly be a smear and distortion, as Mr Bill explained what he was talking about in Wednesday nite's email segment. But the truth never stops Krazy Keith from attacking his Olbsession.
FRIDAY UPDATE:
Emergency defense of health care overhaul, attack on GOP House with Ezra the K (the guy who's confused by that constitution thing) and lefty Thomas Frank.
Another attack on AZ Governor Brewer (R).
Attack on Glenn Beck with that historical authority Russell Simmons.
Attack on Boehner (R).
A thrilling Thurber thegment that will have you athleep fath-ter than Thominex.
SATURDAY UPDATE:
A special double-length Hour of Spin, featuring:
Just a refresher to remind "you all" that MKDAWUSS is a dishonest, lying, hypocritical coward:
-This is the fourteenth day since MKDAWUSS ignored Johnny Dollar's post concerning Olbermann's lie about Bill O'Reilly stealing someone's seat.
-This is the fourteenth day since MKDAWUSS ignored Johnny Dollar's comments concerning Olbermann's lie about NBC's football ratings.
-This is twentieth day since MKDAWUSS failed to acknowledge Keith Olbermann's comments and cowardice regarding the Assange rape case and subsequent Twitter ban issue.
-This is the twentieth day since MKDAWUSS failed to bring up a legitimate criticism of Bristol Palin.
-This is the twenty-first day since MKDAWUSS accused the regulars of Olbermann Watch of trashing Mr. Olbermann the father without evidence.
-This is the twenty-first day since MKDAWUSS accused the regulars of Olbermann Watch of trashing Mrs. Olbermann without evidence.
-This is the twenty-fourth day since MKDAWUSS failed to explain how this:
is an example of Glenn Beck using a "stupid Nazi comparison". And no MKDAWUSS, keywording "Nazi" and throwing in your opinion of context is not an explanation.
-This is the twenty-sixth day since MKDAWUSS insinuated that "Pitchforks and Torches" is a better seller than conservative books because there were no copies of it available at his bookstore.
-This is the twenty-eighth day since MKDAWUSS accused the members of Olbermann watch of "dodging questions".
Mr. Bill's e-mail explanation:
Brian Collins, Evanston, WY: "Bill, be honest. The only reason you believe in God is that your parents told you to."
Bill's response after a short pause: "That's a joke, right, Brian? Read 'Bold Fresh' and you'll find out how much I listened to my parents. Read 'Culture Warrior' and you'll learn this: the sun comes up, the sun goes down, the tide comes in, the tide goes out. It *always happens*, never a miscommunication. Please explain that to me, sir. Giant meteor do it? Some quirk of intergalactic fate? To be an atheist, in my opinion, requires *a lot* more blind faith than believers have."
"I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
God forbid should you read aloud the document you swear allegiance to.
If it wasn't for the shit-for-brains that yelled about the President's eligibility during the reading my guess would have been for Olbermann ignoring this story entirely or Olbermann turning it into a racial issue.
Oh wait, the latter already happened. I'm sure the Wildcat approves.
Tuesday at J$P, I said this:
"[The tides have] more to do with gravity, the moon, and the sun than the Deity. But I'm not going to mock [him] for believing otherwise. Those who don't like Bill, however, will mock him, and point to things like this to marginalize those on the fence about him. 'If this flaming fraud doesn't know how tides work, why should we believe anything he says? Why is he on TV? This is sad. Just retire already. Otherwise, he should be fired.' I'm not quoting anybody; just projecting."
J$ replied to my comment by saying it was a philosophical argument. But philosophy can take a hike on OlbyPlanet, unless Oralmann uses it to bludgeon people he doesn't like. We'll see how close my projection comes to what he actually says.
Story # 2: Athiests in the Foxhole. So let me get this straight. It's OK for Muslims, Gays, and Athiests to openly serve in the military, but "RELIGIONISTS" are forcing people to torture and should not serve?, The Hefty One says the main culprit was a guy at Ft. Hood (no mention of Nidal Malik Hasan, the MUSLIM MASS MURDERER) who approved of enhanced interrogations (who also Der Kommissar mentioned the BUSH REGIME).
WHAT THE HELL IS A RELIGIONIST??????????????????????
I swear M.S.S.R. is becoming a 24 hour non-stop Twilight Zone episode.
Via the closed-captioning transcript, which tends to be incomplete, the O'Reilly attack:
">>> our winner in a triumphant return, billo the clown [Ding!]. i would say silverman cleaned o'reilly's clock [Ding!] but that's not really fair. this is about silverman's claim that religion is a scam. please be seated and keep your hands inside the vehicle while the ride is still in progress.
[Video embedded at Newser shown.]
>> moon. tide, moon, make. moon make tide. it was in all the papers. can we see that key section again?
[Video.]
>> yes, yes, i can. so can sir isaac newton and everybody in mr. mcnaughton's science class this in.
[Video.]
>> what does the first part even mean? tide goes in, tide goes out. never a miscommunication. you're expecting one day, tide goes in, tide stays in. billo, tide goes in, tide goes out, o'reilly, today's worst person in the world.
So, I was off in my projection verbally, but there was plenty of condescension, marginalization, and implications of stupidity.
A question comes to mind: If our humble correspondent is so dumb, so stupid, such a rube, how did he score an interview with President Obama on Fox network before Super Bowl XLVI? It was in all the papers.
I believe Bill O'Reilly's reasons for believing in a creator make sense but he chose a poor example in making his case. I think a better example that's more in keeping with his actual point is evaporation and rain. Living creatures need plant life to survive; the plant life need water to survive; very CONVENIENTLY there is a system in place that picks up water from oceans and lakes, moves it over and dumps it on the land where needed. There are many multitudes of examples like that in this highly complex and interdependent universe and atheists want to tell us that they all CONVENIENTLY developed themselves naturally on their own.
"the sun comes up, the sun goes down, the tide comes in, the tide goes out. It *always happens*, never a miscommunication. Please explain that to me, sir. Giant meteor do it? Some quirk of intergalactic fate? To be an atheist, in my opinion, requires *a lot* more blind faith than believers have."
I'm sure the irony is lost on Olby that the only way O'Reilly could supposedly insult the atheist is to have him on his show to begin with ... as in inviting people with opposing viewpoints to have an open exchange of ideas to better understand the issue.
Yes, O'Reilly's Tides remark was dumb. But the atheist responded with a "Maybe I can't explain it but that doesn't mean god did it."
The crux of the issue is this. Just because something can't be explained doesn't mean there isn't a rational explanation for it. And likewise, just because a church might be corrupt doesn't invalidate a belief in god, or prove god doesn't exist.
It's pretty much a given that there is a physical, scientific justification for each and every event in the universe. The question needs to shift to whether or not the laws of physics and biology are simply the tools of a higher power.
"I'm sure the irony is lost on Olby that the only way O'Reilly could supposedly insult the atheist is to have him on his show to begin with ... as in inviting people with opposing viewpoints to have an open exchange of ideas to better understand the issue."
But you forget America, Olbermann had Howard Kurtz on that one time. In MKDAWUSS' world that makes up for NEVER having any opposing viewpoints/ideologies on.
Anyone notice how MKDAWUSS wasn't here last night? That's because WUSS is a big fan of God. And Olbermann spent part of his night making fun of someone who believes in God.
Your mother must be so proud WUSS, always defending a guy who pisses on people of faith.
I'm glad O'Reilly is getting a sit down with POTUS. When Brian Williams does that interview it's hard to hear what he's saying. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that he has Obama's cock in his mouth on a regular basis.
Bill O'Reilly interviews the President and the Patriots win the Super Bowl. That's my kind of day.
I'd encourage MKDAWUSS to watch the interview but considering the Chiefs are unlikely to get past this weekend (nice chokejob with the Raiders last week BTW) I doubt he'll have any interest in watching.
Remember when The Hefty One went BATSH** on Bush, then Obama on the whole Telecom companies and domestic Wiretapping? Well, the SEC now has its sights on FACEBOOK:
Personally, I think this Regime wants to use this as a way to get personal information on US citizens to weed out all dissenting points of view. Will Der Kommissar have any comment on this? Probably not. After all, Mark Zuckerberg makes more $$$$ than him, and on Countdung, ALL people that make more $$$$ than the False Murrow are categorized as Eeevil and worthy of being a WPITW candidate.
"Newshounds may have given Rip 'n Read another O'Reilly attack for tonight. Anti-choice! [Ding!]"
I like the bit at the end where they give kudos to Carlson and Hoover for clarifying Dr. Drew's comments about abortion.
Of course, the article doesn't mention Carlson and Hoover were on O'Reilly because he invited them on specifically to provide context to the issue in case O'Reilly missed something. And when they did, O'Reilly said "That's a good point."
Again, overlooking the whole point of O'Reilly's show. It's not a guy at a desk spouting a diatribe to the audience. It's an exchange of ideas in which Bill sometimes provides a polarizing viewpoint with hopes of provoking an interesting discussion that yields some insight that might not otherwise be learned.

Then again over at the Bizarro world of M.S.S.R., they are just a bunch of bobblehead dolls trying to convince the left to move lefter.
WTF? Is it casual Friday at MSNBC? Or is it that Keith's neck is so fat that he can't button the top button?
That's why I don't wear ties. I never wear ties. I didn't wear a tie to my dad's funeral. He didn't wear a tie at his funeral. I'm not going to wear a tie at my funeral. It's in my living will. If anyone puts a tie on me, they are instructed to take it off. BY ANY MEANS!
About 3- Remember liberals own the Constitution, Congress, History, White House, EVERYTHING!!!!
And Mr. Simmons. YOU'RE ON NATIONAL TV!!! At the very least DON'T WEAR A YANKEES CAP! And at least put on a Sports Coat.
(really, I rather watch Becks and Bill-o on the Factor right now than listen to these two mental midgets!)
Like that Vegas Police Officer who gave a jaywalking ticket to a 13 year old girl in a coma (really? You couldn't wait for her to wake up? You couldn't wait a few days to see if she lives? You couldn't read the law? (really, Judge Napalatano tore this cop a new one on FNC today))
IT'S THE WPITW ABSTRACT!!!!!!!!! (I WARNED YOU!)
Bronze: Mike Davis- for being a stupid criminal. Taking a taxi to a robery.
Silver: See my intro. Vegas office coma girl.
GOLD!!!!!!!!!: Steve King (R); for (according to Keithy) lying about Obama Care. Don't you know, Obama Care is going to save us. Unless you have breast cancer, old, a burden on society, cost too much to care for. You know, EVERYBODY!
Well, it's Friday! Get out the DVD player, start up the Prison docs, and have Rachel lock up 30 rock after she cleans post show. IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!! Looks like we made it for the first week of a year of Olby. If I get anything worth sharing, I'll post. If not, see you guys Monday. And as usual.... Let's be careful out there.
Here's a twitter exchange in the wake of Olbermann bashing Beck for the well-supported claim that the 3/5 clause limited Southern power and helped end slavery. Olbermann had claimed the original intent was to count slaves as 0/5, overlooking that the compromise was needed to pass the constitution at all.
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann Do you actually do research on history or do you just talk out of your ass like you do about everything else?
Olby: @LibtarianGrfiti I had the equivalent of a minor in Am. History at Cornell. Beck attended the University of Cokehead
(In other words, he doesn't have to do research because he just knows all this stuff … aka yes he talks out of his ass)
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann key word "equivalent". the equivalent of a hist. deg. at Cornell(liberal agenda) is like grad. from Ron Mcdonald University.
Olby: @LibtarianGrfiti No, that background would make me Speaker of the House.
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann I would much rather be a crybaby (Boehner or Beck) than a wannabe elite walking, talking ego such as yourself.
KEITH OLBERMANN IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTING OF THE CONGRESSWOMAN IN ARIZONA. By constantly attacking Congressman and other groups that want secure borders, he encouraged the liberal gunman to do this. OLBERMANN IS AN ACCESSORY TO MURDER.
It is a sad day for this country when a member of Congress and her staff are taken down in cold blood. We may all disagree on the issues and may exchance heated words during a debate, but there is no reason for this horrible act. My thoughts and prayers go out to Gabrielle Giffords, her family and her staff that have been affected by this tragedy.
What a sad day in American history. Lets try to set a side our political differences for a moment and say a prayer for Ms. Giffords and everyone that lost their lives in this senseless tragedy.
The shooter left a bunch of rambling messages and doesn't seem connected to the Tea Party or any rational political movement. Someone who went to high-school with him was tweeting that he was a left-winger, though the accuracy of that is open to the rules of the Internet.
But since the guy says he doesn't trust money that isn't backed by gold, expect a full episode of Countdown in which Olby links the attack to Beck and his gold endorsements.
But let's not overlook how Liberals within minutes were online blaming everyone from Sarah Palin to Fox News for the attack, while offering no outrage over the actual shooter or expressing their thoughts and prayers for the victims.
My sympathies go out to all the victims of this senseless tragedy.
"Lets try to set a side our political differences for a moment and say a prayer for Ms. Giffords and everyone that lost their lives in this senseless tragedy."
Yeah, well unfortunately for us we live in a world where this event will be politicized.
I will not speculate right now because info on Loughner seems to be mish-mashing right now.
Regardless of thoe outcome I'm sure Olbermann will be justly criticized for either using this shooting to urinate on his political enemies or ignoring it.
Now I'm sure MKDAWUSS or M-Ditty (because this appears to be the type of thing he would pounce on) have something to say about my comments. Bring it on hypocrites. It's nothing your cable news hero wouldn't do.
"But let's not overlook how Liberals within minutes were online blaming everyone from Sarah Palin to Fox News for the attack, while offering no outrage over the actual shooter or expressing their thoughts and prayers for the victims."
I actually spoke about this earlier in the week. It was ignored by the usual parties.
Scott Roeder is crazy. Joe Stack was crazy. James Lee was crazy.
Two of these criminals were portrayed as right-wing terrorists. One of them wasn't because the right isn't known for its environmentalism.
But if Olbermann says it's true then it must be ok.
Barney Frank was just on my television saying "We don't know what motivated this guy so we shouldn't jump to any conclusions."
Coming from scum like Frank that probably means "we know what motivated this guy and we don't want to talk about it because it hurts the Democratic agenda."
OLBERDORK TO HAVE SPECIAL SATURDAY NIGHT EDITION OF COUNTDOWN, 8:00 PM.
Oooo golly, can't wait! It would take a lot for Olby to get out of the bathtub on a Saturday. Can't let the shooting story pass up, need to get out there and blame someone.
Let's take a wild guess what the sociopath comes up with tonight. There are already Associated Depressed articles out saying that the father of the Congresswoman who was shot blaming the Tea Party. So look for the MSNBC moron to bring that up.
It's the Tea Party's fault!
It's Sarah Palin's fault!
It's Michelle Bachmann's fault!
It's John Boehner's fault!
It's Fox News's fault!
It's talk radio's fault!
and finally We need to ban guns!
The question is, will he blame Jared Lee Loughner?
Reading through the writings that have been made public, no discernible political themes have emerged. The guy appears to be a nut. Olbermann may seize on the line about a gold-backed currency, but that is one line. Most of the stuff that has been made public has been ranting about low literacy rates, grammar, and other pseudo-philosophical gibberish.
A lunatic attacks and right away the left turns it into a polotical with hunt against all the likely suspects. Didn't the learn their leason from the Discovery channel fiasco? For those who don't visit the site Hillbuzz.org I will link a good article they are doing on the politicalozation of this attack.
Earlier this afternoon, moron of the year KOS posted this via twitter
markos Markos Moulitsas
Mission accomplished, Sarah Palin, http://is.gd/knNgl
and do you think bathtub boy will bringthat up, let alone make him a "worse person?" hell no. I'll be curious to hear the mud slinging he's going to do at 8pm tonight. Get out your waders and shovels, it's Countdown
I would wait to dispense judgement but that's not would Olbermann would do.
Much like all these similar incidents, the perpetrator has mental issues that have nothing to do with political ideology. But I'm sure that won't stop Olbermann from using this incident for political gain.
MKDAWUSS, will you or the other Olbermann defenders who lurk here have the balls to call out your hero for doing this? I doubt it.
There is no evidence to link this guy to the tea party or Sarah Palin. If he makes the connection, how can he continue to claim that he bases what he says on facts, and tells the truth?
This Sheriff/Idiot of Pima County is already blaming this on the papers law for illegals. Says Arizona is the land of prejudice! WTF? Guess he'll be on Countdown Monday.
Is there any low these open borders crowd won't stoop too?
I hate to admit this, but Ed's show before Olby was actually decent. But did you hear Olberdork start in with the "free speech has consequences" crap? And who the hell was that unhinged sheriff blaming talk radio during the news conference?
Hey Dupnik: Shut the fuck up. Instead of spewing bull to get your name in the national spotlight maybe you could try doing your job and find that other suspect.
Dailykos had a map with congresswoman Giffords on it. They also had a diary two days ago talking how this congresswoman was "dead" to the diaristy. Both were scrubbed from the website, and oddly enough from the google cashe today. Will Keith mention that the left also had her in their "crosshairs"? Of course not, why destroy an illogical rant with truth?
BLOGGER: "Great news about the congresswoman's condition, but, when will the rhetoric of the right be held accountable for acts like this?"
MKDAWUSS: "Only in places like this & certain hours on MSNBC."
I wonder MKDAWUSS, how is this the right's fault? Because of a poster with targets on it? I bet being the big gamer you are you play a game or two with a crosshair. More hypocrisy, no wonder you love Olbermann so much.
I also wonder if your brother and sisters are as dumb as you are. It takes a special kind of stupid to believe this garbage.
See you guys later. Going to spend the rest of the night watching "one crazy summer", with John Cusak (before he was a douche) and Demi Moore (when she was HOT!). one of the best 80's teen comedy flicks ever.
Since this entire thing has been politicized by the far left media, I'm sure they brought up the fact that Loughner murdered a judge appointed by a Republican President.
I was unaware of tonight's show; did he actually say O'Reilly should not have the Obama interview because of this? Is he aware how transparently that reeks of jealousy and pettiness?
Yes, he did. The Right Scoop recap:
"In his special comment tonight on the shooting spree that included Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Olbermann called out Sarah Palin, Allen West, Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and the Tea Party for contributing ever how 'tangential' to the atmosphere the causes violence and said that each of them should repudiate their fear based/violent rhetoric: [Video.] It’s important to note now, as it’s been important to note all day long, that THERE IS NO KNOWN MOTIVE YET for the shooting today. Yet imbeciles like Olbermann want to go ahead and blame this on the Right because they hate the Right and want to silence the Right. Sure, he gave his little pathetic speech about himself, but they only do that to try and look fair. But if he was so fair, then why didn’t have name 5 or 6 from the Left who have 'contributed' the violent atmosphere in America? Because it’s not about the Left, but about the Right. And it’s ridiculous."
He is trying to scare President Obama--or, at least, his handlers--out of the interview with Mr. Bill. This is the same crap he pulled on the It Happened to Alexa Foundation two years ago, thanks to Amanda Terkel's Think Propaganda distortion. It didn't work then and it *shouldn't* work now. Don't listen to him, Mr. President, Mr. Axelrod, Mr. Daley, etc. Do the interview.
The tweet that followed had some bad news: "It came from Politico. Darn! RT @pianistagirl: @Jose_RosadoCT @tamaraholder sadly the report that she's alert is not true. Keep praying."
How do you think Gibbons would feel if she knew about all the partisan finger-pointing that's taken place today? The finger-pointing culminated in Keith's Komment.
I am a longtime Saints fan (I am from New Orleans so I am NOT a bandwagoner) and yet I do feel somewhat better knowing our Super Bowl opponent got knocked out of the playoffs too. Unfortunately, this loss will overtake the 18-0 Patriots losing to the Giants as the most shocking loss in NFL History and could have a devistating impact in our teams' future success.
Now I got that off my chest, I must say that I am extremely disgusted with the behavior of the media during the tragedy. Any intelligent person with any shred of decency understands the horror, sadness, and pain of the events that folded this afternoon in AZ. Alan West? Really? He is blamed for this when he is over 3K miles away? Sharron Angle? Really? I have not heard 1 single word from her since November 3. Sarah Palin? Really? I read her facebook page and her posting was very sincere. Glenn Beck? Really? Bill O'Reilly? Really? And on and on and on....................
We all get the point. I didn't want to get political because of this tragedy, but all of these people in the media are shedding Crocodile tears for Congresswoman Giffords, ESPECIALLY KEITH OLBERMANN. DID HE TALK ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN DONATIONS TO TAKE OUT THE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE????????? They are only using this tragedy to further advance their agenda which is to shut down the Tea Party. I didn't hear one single comment from the media about the Bush Administration guy that was found dead in a landfill. "He is a Republican, he deserved it", as some talking head on M.S.S.R. would probably echo and everyone would just smile, bob their head in agreement to that statement. May tonight be a repudiation of all that is Progressive, starting with the assholes in the media, blogosphere, and M.S.S.R. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of all that were wounded and killed today, and they REALLY need them.
I know this was touched on earlier but here's the link containing screen shots the pages before they were scrubbed by that weasel Moulitsis. Until FatAss repudiates the kos klowns by name his komment is pure hypocrisy.
Pitting Republicans against Democrats and Tea Party Activists against Radical Leftists as to who is responsible for this shooting is just rediculous.
I will NOT listen to Der Kommissar tell us who is responsible for what happened today, given his track record of advocating violence against women with whom he disagrees with i.e. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Malkin. I do know that a 22 year old psychopath pulled the trigger and killed a 9 year old girl today too.
"There is the irony that calling Arizona the "Mecca of vitriol and bigotry" or whatever he said, is an example of hyperbolic vitriol."
It is only "acceptable" hyperbolic vitriol if it fits the progressive agenda. I once heard Morning Schmoe and Bubbles Brzezinski condemn Glenn Beck as being hyperbolic and tried to get every guest to condemn him and the whole Fox network. Do they even watch their own network's hyperbole-fest after their morning disaster goes off the air into the Daily Ramdown with UpChuck Todd?
Brad Wilmouth, NewsBusters: Olbermann Suggests Palin & Other Conservatives 'Slightly Less Madmen' Then Gunman, Apologizes for Past Violent Suggestions
The link has a full transcript of Lonesome Olbs' screed.
What a discusting individual Der Kommissar is. He feels as if his "apology" is actually worth a Damn when he just spent a whole show with his pitchfork and torch going after all Conservatives??????? The Hefty One is quick to point out what everyone else supposedly said, but impunes himself from the specific and equally horrific things he had said about women on his show as recently as FRIDAY. He is not sorry. A person with no conscience feels no guilt. Like I said, Crocodile tears.
Or to quote a Komment of his in September 2008, "phony, crocodile, opportunistic tears." And many left-wing ideologues have shed the same tears in the last 24 hours. Believe it or not, some of those ideologues have no use for Krazy Keith. The rest love him to bits.
Anyway, don't expect MKDAWUSS here today. At least not until the Chiefs get bounced. I'm sure he has plenty to say about the hypocrisy laid out by his hero Olbermann and his boss Markos.
I'm beginning to think this is the left's opening strategy for 2012: "You want to put a Republican back in the White House? You want to elect [more] Republicans to Congress? Look at what they've caused! Vote for us."
From Marty "Chickaboomer" Davis: Guns N' Poseurs
"The political left was just handed a number one with a bullet convo changer as some barely out of his teens wack job goes bats**t in Arizona, shooting a Dem congresswoman in the head (she's still alive), and killing a half dozen others, including a nine-year-old girl ironically born on Sept. 11, 2001 -- the granddaughter of former Yankees and Mets GM Dallas Green. The shooting happened in a Tucson Safeway parking lot where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was holding an event.
Cable (via Johnny Dollar and ICN) and broadcast TV are all over this, with the Big Networks dispatching their A teams to Tucson. NPR was the first to report it because there was an NPR wife at the event. NPR and other news orgs had to walk back NPR's false report that Congresswoman Giffords had exited the planet.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann could barely contain himself as he donned his rubber socks and sprinted to 30 Rock for a rare Saturday performance. Mike Allen's Politico Playbook summarized Olbermann's righteous rant: ..."
I'm not quoting what Marty quoted Mike Allen quoting.
"MSNBC's Friends With Benefits, Politico, is the go-to for all the anti-Tea Party, Sarah Palin finger-pointing. The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz (host of CNN's Reliable Sources) finds the Sarah Palin linkage beyond the pale: 'Here we go again in Arizona, as people with political agendas unleash their attacks even before the victims of this senseless shooting have been buried. I find it depressing beyond belief. This isn't about a nearly year-old Sarah Palin map; it's about a lone nutjob who doesn't value human life. It would be nice if we briefly put aside partisan differences and came together with sympathy and support for Gabby Giffords and the other victims, rather than opening rhetorical fire ourselves.'"
"I'm beginning to think this is the left's opening strategy for 2012: "You want to put a Republican back in the White House? You want to elect [more] Republicans to Congress? Look at what they've caused! Vote for us.""
Mike, just because Olbermann is off his rocker doesn't mean people listen to him.
Blaming Republicans for the issues of a few very sick individuals is a recipe for backfire.
Olbermann isn't a public official; Clarence Dupnik and Raul Grijalva are. If other left-wing officials haven't blamed Republicans for this, they will in the minutes, hours, and days ahead.
"Mike, just because Olbermann is off his rocker doesn't mean people listen to him."
No, but be prepared for some kind of boast that from him if there is a bump in ratings this week. The Hefty One gets that well-deserved extra credit for working on his day off. BTW, I read that Sarah Palin's show may not get renewed yesterday? Why would TLC do that when it gets 5 times the amount of Countdung every night? Is this political motivation of the nut-roots and everyone blaming the tea party for this? I'm sure this will make great fodder for Der Kommissar and the rest of the schmucks at M.S.S.R. this week. The first comment for readers in this story is the motivation of this:
From NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell: "FBI says suspect attended 'a similar event' with Rep. Giffords in 2007. Mueller says more info on that to come." Unfortunately, this news will not change the minds of the finger-pointing true believers. Facts, schmacts.
So who is this guy David Fitzsimmons? Well, he is a left-wing cartoonist who makes a name for himself drawing cartoons and ATTACKING people whom he disagrees with on a daily basis. Hmmmm, if you add 2 + 2 together, I smell a Countdung appearance for this guy also. Just by looking at his cartoons, I smell a rat.
I just realized that if far-left pressure is the reason for TLC not renewing "Sarah Palin's Alaska," "The O'Reilly Factor" staff would investigate. But maybe the show would move to CMT.
It was a Dog Day Afternoon in Philadelphia today: Man's Best Friend 1, Vick 0. So much for that Obama pep talk. Every Dog has his day, but in this case, hundreds of innocent dogs had theirs. FINALLY.
Thanks, Jeff. I will quote that part below. The words are J$'s:
And then there’s Keith Olbermann, who couldn't wait 12 hours to exploit the tragic events. But how real is his outrage? He calls out no one from his own network. If he wants to complain about Glenn Beck, why not mention Ed Schultz, who famously stated he wanted to rip Dick Cheney's heart out? While the smart money says the shooter is a mental case, Olbermann wants to make political, and anti-FNC, hay out of it. There is at least as much evidence that the killer is a deranged leftist as there is to suggest he’s a deranged rightist, and yet (except for a passing reference to one of his own 'metaphors') Olbermann's enumerations are all of conservatives and/or Fox News employees.
Of course playing partisan favorites is nothing new for Olbermann. Did you ever hear one peep out of him over this radio fantasy of George W Bush being riddled with bullets? But if he is going to condemn extreme rhetoric, can't he at least pretend to be honest about it. Maybe show some contrition for his description of Michelle Malkin as a 'mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick'. Or for his featuring a joke about shooting Dick Cheney. Instead he attacks Sarah Palin, for 'target' imagery used on her website. Say, isn't that something like depicting Rush Limbaugh as a target in a shooting range? Who would do that? You guessed it.
But the double standard gets even thicker. Olby calls out Palin, but somehow neglects to mention the attacks on Rep Giffords over at the Daily Kos. One writer said in his headline that Rep Giffords is ‘dead to me’--just two days before the shooting. Just a few years ago the Kossacks ran an anti-Giffords piece that literally put a bullseye target on her district! Not a word of it in Keith Olbermann’s impassioned 'special comment'. Could that have something to do with the fact that Daily Kos is where Olbermann blogs?
Natuarlly there's an O'Reilly attack, resurrecting the Dr. Tiller business, but Olby tosses in a new, revealing wrinkle:
Those commentators and the others must be repudiated by their viewers and listeners, by all politicians who would appear on their programs including President Obama and his planned interview with Fox on Super Bowl Sunday...
Now we're getting down to it. Olbermann's obsession with Bill O'Reilly--the man who trounces him in the ratings night after night, year after year--is no secret. It’s not beyond imagination that O'Reilly's Obama interview doesn't sit well with Keith. KO could have called for Obama to refuse the interview any time over the past week, but he didn’t. Then along came a disastrous shooting spree and Olby has his excuse. Sure it's less than 12 hours after people died, but what better time to exploit a tragedy?
If Olby wants to be taken seriously, he should practice what he preaches. If Sarah Palin's target was as bad as Olbermann's endless invocations of it suggest, then let's see him take on the Daily Kos with the same vigor. To put it another way, the Kos target-bullseye imagery must be repudiated by all readers, and by all writers who would appear on their website--including Daily Kos blogger Keith Olbermann. By his own standards, Olby must condemn Daily Kos and sever ties with them. Will Keith Olbermann follow his own advice? Don’t bet your house on it.
Our medical system in the USA is the best in the world. USA doctors (in AZ) are working as hard as they can, with the best resources, information, and knowledge to save the Congresswoman's life. With a Republican governor in AZ doesn't this work against The Hefty One's notion of GOP Death Panels in AZ? I think it is justification that since no other Networks covered his bloated story, Der Kommissar, naturally, gets it wrong. Again. Just a thought.
You know, I'm not so angry with Olberdork because he did exactly what I expected him to do - blame Palin, Fox, Beck, etc. that was expected. But there person who really does piss me off right now is that demented fuck of a sheriff out there, Dupnic. Where the hell does he come off blaming talk radio and the Tea Party for what happened, right in the first news conference after the shooting? He's not a blogger, not a Democrat spokesman, not even a state rep or a state senator, but a God damned sheriff? Are sheriff's elected out there in Arizona? Do they run on a party ticket? I was furious after watching that dick say all this crap at the news conference. Hey, why the hell don't you leave the politics out of it and just do your job and solve the crime, ok asswipe? Do you have a fucking handle on Daily Kos or something? I don't know if any of you noticed, but at the end of the press conference, after he was walking away, a reporter asked "do you have evidence that talk radio influenced the shooter" and dicknik just shouted "No!". What a total mornic ass.
"after he was walking away, a reporter asked "do you have evidence that talk radio influenced the shooter" and dicknik just shouted "No!"."
Liberals feel they are freely able to voice their opinions no matter what they are. That is why so many people laugh at them because they claim to be so smart. In the end, as the sheriff said, he has no evidence of "Right wing Radio" influencing the shooter. It is all a lie ginned up so people like Der Kommissar and the other lefty idiots can grab their pitchforks and torches, rile up their psychotic mob and punish the people whom they disagree with.
Rules for Radicals: Never let a crisis go to waste. Identify your target, isolate it, discredit and take them down. I have to stand in awe at the idiocy at M.S.S.R. Der Kommissar was talking about (or demanding) the people in this country have to get rid of their guns. This morning on Morning Schmoe, they were talking how politicians need to arm themselves when going into a public realm. Uh, so does that mean that if citizens of this country are forced to give up their 2nd amendment right (as The Hefty One suggests) and politicians don't, a constituent who speaks up against that politician can be "taken care of"?
It's even worse wolf - now they are talking about "banning" any words or symbols that might be regarded as "inciting violence". You now have liberal members of the media and Congress doing everything they can to turn this into a 1950 Soviet style terror state, and they do it with a straight face.
Just a refresher to remind "you all" that MKDAWUSS is a dishonest, lying, hypocritical coward:
-This is the fourteenth day since MKDAWUSS ignored Johnny Dollar's post concerning Olbermann's lie about Bill O'Reilly stealing someone's seat.
-This is the fourteenth day since MKDAWUSS ignored Johnny Dollar's comments concerning Olbermann's lie about NBC's football ratings.
-This is twentieth day since MKDAWUSS failed to acknowledge Keith Olbermann's comments and cowardice regarding the Assange rape case and subsequent Twitter ban issue.
-This is the twentieth day since MKDAWUSS failed to bring up a legitimate criticism of Bristol Palin.
-This is the twenty-first day since MKDAWUSS accused the regulars of Olbermann Watch of trashing Mr. Olbermann the father without evidence.
-This is the twenty-first day since MKDAWUSS accused the regulars of Olbermann Watch of trashing Mrs. Olbermann without evidence.
-This is the twenty-fourth day since MKDAWUSS failed to explain how this:
http://mediamatters.org/research/201012090001
is an example of Glenn Beck using a "stupid Nazi comparison". And no MKDAWUSS, keywording "Nazi" and throwing in your opinion of context is not an explanation.
-This is the twenty-sixth day since MKDAWUSS insinuated that "Pitchforks and Torches" is a better seller than conservative books because there were no copies of it available at his bookstore.
-This is the twenty-eighth day since MKDAWUSS accused the members of Olbermann watch of "dodging questions".
The blue blog source for the O'Reilly Attack was either Fox-hating Michael Wolff's Newser or Undercooked Story.
Mr. Bill's e-mail explanation:
Brian Collins, Evanston, WY: "Bill, be honest. The only reason you believe in God is that your parents told you to."
Bill's response after a short pause: "That's a joke, right, Brian? Read 'Bold Fresh' and you'll find out how much I listened to my parents. Read 'Culture Warrior' and you'll learn this: the sun comes up, the sun goes down, the tide comes in, the tide goes out. It *always happens*, never a miscommunication. Please explain that to me, sir. Giant meteor do it? Some quirk of intergalactic fate? To be an atheist, in my opinion, requires *a lot* more blind faith than believers have."
"I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
God forbid should you read aloud the document you swear allegiance to.
If it wasn't for the shit-for-brains that yelled about the President's eligibility during the reading my guess would have been for Olbermann ignoring this story entirely or Olbermann turning it into a racial issue.
Oh wait, the latter already happened. I'm sure the Wildcat approves.
"Bill, be honest. The only reason you believe in God is that your parents told you to."
I believe in God because my parents told me to. Right up until my Confirmation.
Then I thought about it and made the decision to believe there is a God. Now I'm sort of on the fence.
It's called faith dickhead. To put your faith in something requires a lot more balls than denial.
BTW, I know a few atheists, and every single one of them is, in one form or another, an asshole.
I forgot to mention that what O'Reilly said does sound stupid.
Tuesday at J$P, I said this:
"[The tides have] more to do with gravity, the moon, and the sun than the Deity. But I'm not going to mock [him] for believing otherwise. Those who don't like Bill, however, will mock him, and point to things like this to marginalize those on the fence about him. 'If this flaming fraud doesn't know how tides work, why should we believe anything he says? Why is he on TV? This is sad. Just retire already. Otherwise, he should be fired.' I'm not quoting anybody; just projecting."
J$ replied to my comment by saying it was a philosophical argument. But philosophy can take a hike on OlbyPlanet, unless Oralmann uses it to bludgeon people he doesn't like. We'll see how close my projection comes to what he actually says.
Story # 2: Athiests in the Foxhole. So let me get this straight. It's OK for Muslims, Gays, and Athiests to openly serve in the military, but "RELIGIONISTS" are forcing people to torture and should not serve?, The Hefty One says the main culprit was a guy at Ft. Hood (no mention of Nidal Malik Hasan, the MUSLIM MASS MURDERER) who approved of enhanced interrogations (who also Der Kommissar mentioned the BUSH REGIME).
WHAT THE HELL IS A RELIGIONIST??????????????????????
I swear M.S.S.R. is becoming a 24 hour non-stop Twilight Zone episode.
Note tomorrow, I'm going for minor surgery so it's 50/50 that I'll do the abstract. So stay tuned to this station.
WPITW abstract.
BRonze: Some stupid criminal. 60 dollar bill bandit.
Silver: Mitch Daniels (R) for the sin of increasing the retirement age to 70. Doesn't Gov. Danies know that only rich people live longer?
GOLD!!!!: BILL-O!!!!!! For attacking Bill Silverman of some Athiest group. Remember, the only God Olby recolonizes is Obama!!!!
Another award winning countdown to Olby wearing a straight jacket!
"Another award winning countdown to Olby wearing a straight jacket!"
I'd actually prefer he undergo a forced lobotomy like McMurphy in Cuckoo's Nest.
Via the closed-captioning transcript, which tends to be incomplete, the O'Reilly attack:
">>> our winner in a triumphant return, billo the clown [Ding!]. i would say silverman cleaned o'reilly's clock [Ding!] but that's not really fair. this is about silverman's claim that religion is a scam. please be seated and keep your hands inside the vehicle while the ride is still in progress.
[Video embedded at Newser shown.]
>> moon. tide, moon, make. moon make tide. it was in all the papers. can we see that key section again?
[Video.]
>> yes, yes, i can. so can sir isaac newton and everybody in mr. mcnaughton's science class this in.
[Video.]
>> what does the first part even mean? tide goes in, tide goes out. never a miscommunication. you're expecting one day, tide goes in, tide stays in. billo, tide goes in, tide goes out, o'reilly, today's worst person in the world.
So, I was off in my projection verbally, but there was plenty of condescension, marginalization, and implications of stupidity.
A question comes to mind: If our humble correspondent is so dumb, so stupid, such a rube, how did he score an interview with President Obama on Fox network before Super Bowl XLVI? It was in all the papers.
I believe Bill O'Reilly's reasons for believing in a creator make sense but he chose a poor example in making his case. I think a better example that's more in keeping with his actual point is evaporation and rain. Living creatures need plant life to survive; the plant life need water to survive; very CONVENIENTLY there is a system in place that picks up water from oceans and lakes, moves it over and dumps it on the land where needed. There are many multitudes of examples like that in this highly complex and interdependent universe and atheists want to tell us that they all CONVENIENTLY developed themselves naturally on their own.
"the sun comes up, the sun goes down, the tide comes in, the tide goes out. It *always happens*, never a miscommunication. Please explain that to me, sir. Giant meteor do it? Some quirk of intergalactic fate? To be an atheist, in my opinion, requires *a lot* more blind faith than believers have."
To paraphrase Bill, to be an OlbyFan requires a lot more blind faith than fans of any other primetime show.
I'm sure the irony is lost on Olby that the only way O'Reilly could supposedly insult the atheist is to have him on his show to begin with ... as in inviting people with opposing viewpoints to have an open exchange of ideas to better understand the issue.
Yes, O'Reilly's Tides remark was dumb. But the atheist responded with a "Maybe I can't explain it but that doesn't mean god did it."
The crux of the issue is this. Just because something can't be explained doesn't mean there isn't a rational explanation for it. And likewise, just because a church might be corrupt doesn't invalidate a belief in god, or prove god doesn't exist.
It's pretty much a given that there is a physical, scientific justification for each and every event in the universe. The question needs to shift to whether or not the laws of physics and biology are simply the tools of a higher power.
"I'm sure the irony is lost on Olby that the only way O'Reilly could supposedly insult the atheist is to have him on his show to begin with ... as in inviting people with opposing viewpoints to have an open exchange of ideas to better understand the issue."
But you forget America, Olbermann had Howard Kurtz on that one time. In MKDAWUSS' world that makes up for NEVER having any opposing viewpoints/ideologies on.
Anyone notice how MKDAWUSS wasn't here last night? That's because WUSS is a big fan of God. And Olbermann spent part of his night making fun of someone who believes in God.
Your mother must be so proud WUSS, always defending a guy who pisses on people of faith.
I'm glad O'Reilly is getting a sit down with POTUS. When Brian Williams does that interview it's hard to hear what he's saying. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that he has Obama's cock in his mouth on a regular basis.
Bill O'Reilly interviews the President and the Patriots win the Super Bowl. That's my kind of day.
I'd encourage MKDAWUSS to watch the interview but considering the Chiefs are unlikely to get past this weekend (nice chokejob with the Raiders last week BTW) I doubt he'll have any interest in watching.
To answer Olberdork's question "where are the jobs Mr. Boehner", well, since the Republican Congress was elected, looks like the jobs are coming back:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110107/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_economy
Any comment Olberdork?
Olby Week in Review
Good catch tonyome. Too bad in Olbermann's world smartass comments don't work both ways.
Newshounds may have given Rip 'n Read another O'Reilly attack for tonight. Anti-choice! [Ding!]
I love slogans like "We watch Fox News so you don't have to".
Newshounds should change its slogan to "We watch Fox News so you don't have to. That way we can make sh*t up and you won't know the difference."
Remember when The Hefty One went BATSH** on Bush, then Obama on the whole Telecom companies and domestic Wiretapping? Well, the SEC now has its sights on FACEBOOK:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110107/ap_on_re_us/us_facebook_investors
Personally, I think this Regime wants to use this as a way to get personal information on US citizens to weed out all dissenting points of view. Will Der Kommissar have any comment on this? Probably not. After all, Mark Zuckerberg makes more $$$$ than him, and on Countdung, ALL people that make more $$$$ than the False Murrow are categorized as Eeevil and worthy of being a WPITW candidate.
"Newshounds may have given Rip 'n Read another O'Reilly attack for tonight. Anti-choice! [Ding!]"
I like the bit at the end where they give kudos to Carlson and Hoover for clarifying Dr. Drew's comments about abortion.
Of course, the article doesn't mention Carlson and Hoover were on O'Reilly because he invited them on specifically to provide context to the issue in case O'Reilly missed something. And when they did, O'Reilly said "That's a good point."
Again, overlooking the whole point of O'Reilly's show. It's not a guy at a desk spouting a diatribe to the audience. It's an exchange of ideas in which Bill sometimes provides a polarizing viewpoint with hopes of provoking an interesting discussion that yields some insight that might not otherwise be learned.

Then again over at the Bizarro world of M.S.S.R., they are just a bunch of bobblehead dolls trying to convince the left to move lefter.
First, your Thurber-Free Video of the week

Worsts later.
WTF? Is it casual Friday at MSNBC? Or is it that Keith's neck is so fat that he can't button the top button?
That's why I don't wear ties. I never wear ties. I didn't wear a tie to my dad's funeral. He didn't wear a tie at his funeral. I'm not going to wear a tie at my funeral. It's in my living will. If anyone puts a tie on me, they are instructed to take it off. BY ANY MEANS!
Worsts later... You've been warned.
About 3- Remember liberals own the Constitution, Congress, History, White House, EVERYTHING!!!!
And Mr. Simmons. YOU'RE ON NATIONAL TV!!! At the very least DON'T WEAR A YANKEES CAP! And at least put on a Sports Coat.
(really, I rather watch Becks and Bill-o on the Factor right now than listen to these two mental midgets!)
Like that Vegas Police Officer who gave a jaywalking ticket to a 13 year old girl in a coma (really? You couldn't wait for her to wake up? You couldn't wait a few days to see if she lives? You couldn't read the law? (really, Judge Napalatano tore this cop a new one on FNC today))
IT'S THE WPITW ABSTRACT!!!!!!!!! (I WARNED YOU!)
Bronze: Mike Davis- for being a stupid criminal. Taking a taxi to a robery.
Silver: See my intro. Vegas office coma girl.
GOLD!!!!!!!!!: Steve King (R); for (according to Keithy) lying about Obama Care. Don't you know, Obama Care is going to save us. Unless you have breast cancer, old, a burden on society, cost too much to care for. You know, EVERYBODY!
Well, it's Friday! Get out the DVD player, start up the Prison docs, and have Rachel lock up 30 rock after she cleans post show. IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!! Looks like we made it for the first week of a year of Olby. If I get anything worth sharing, I'll post. If not, see you guys Monday. And as usual.... Let's be careful out there.
I'm just glad he didn't go after O'Reilly again.
Some stunning news
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/08/arizona-congresswoman-reportedly-shot-public-event/
Gabrielle Giffords was one of the two congressional candidates to whom Olbermann donated money, which earned him a suspension.
Full details aren't in yet, but prepare for an all-out Olby attack on the Tea Party
All thoughts and prayers should be with the family of Giffords at this horrible moment
Here's a twitter exchange in the wake of Olbermann bashing Beck for the well-supported claim that the 3/5 clause limited Southern power and helped end slavery. Olbermann had claimed the original intent was to count slaves as 0/5, overlooking that the compromise was needed to pass the constitution at all.
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann Do you actually do research on history or do you just talk out of your ass like you do about everything else?
Olby: @LibtarianGrfiti I had the equivalent of a minor in Am. History at Cornell. Beck attended the University of Cokehead
(In other words, he doesn't have to do research because he just knows all this stuff … aka yes he talks out of his ass)
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann key word "equivalent". the equivalent of a hist. deg. at Cornell(liberal agenda) is like grad. from Ron Mcdonald University.
Olby: @LibtarianGrfiti No, that background would make me Speaker of the House.
LibtarianGrfiti: @KeithOlbermann I would much rather be a crybaby (Boehner or Beck) than a wannabe elite walking, talking ego such as yourself.
Equivalent of a minor? What is that? Like 5 classes? He took 5 classes in history 30 years ago? Big deal.
About Giffords. If the motivation was political, there will be a shit-storm.
KEITH OLBERMANN IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTING OF THE CONGRESSWOMAN IN ARIZONA. By constantly attacking Congressman and other groups that want secure borders, he encouraged the liberal gunman to do this. OLBERMANN IS AN ACCESSORY TO MURDER.
It is a sad day for this country when a member of Congress and her staff are taken down in cold blood. We may all disagree on the issues and may exchance heated words during a debate, but there is no reason for this horrible act. My thoughts and prayers go out to Gabrielle Giffords, her family and her staff that have been affected by this tragedy.
What a sad day in American history. Lets try to set a side our political differences for a moment and say a prayer for Ms. Giffords and everyone that lost their lives in this senseless tragedy.
The shooter left a bunch of rambling messages and doesn't seem connected to the Tea Party or any rational political movement. Someone who went to high-school with him was tweeting that he was a left-winger, though the accuracy of that is open to the rules of the Internet.
But since the guy says he doesn't trust money that isn't backed by gold, expect a full episode of Countdown in which Olby links the attack to Beck and his gold endorsements.
But let's not overlook how Liberals within minutes were online blaming everyone from Sarah Palin to Fox News for the attack, while offering no outrage over the actual shooter or expressing their thoughts and prayers for the victims.
My sympathies go out to all the victims of this senseless tragedy.
"Lets try to set a side our political differences for a moment and say a prayer for Ms. Giffords and everyone that lost their lives in this senseless tragedy."
Yeah, well unfortunately for us we live in a world where this event will be politicized.
I will not speculate right now because info on Loughner seems to be mish-mashing right now.
Regardless of thoe outcome I'm sure Olbermann will be justly criticized for either using this shooting to urinate on his political enemies or ignoring it.
Now I'm sure MKDAWUSS or M-Ditty (because this appears to be the type of thing he would pounce on) have something to say about my comments. Bring it on hypocrites. It's nothing your cable news hero wouldn't do.
"But let's not overlook how Liberals within minutes were online blaming everyone from Sarah Palin to Fox News for the attack, while offering no outrage over the actual shooter or expressing their thoughts and prayers for the victims."
I actually spoke about this earlier in the week. It was ignored by the usual parties.
Scott Roeder is crazy. Joe Stack was crazy. James Lee was crazy.
Two of these criminals were portrayed as right-wing terrorists. One of them wasn't because the right isn't known for its environmentalism.
But if Olbermann says it's true then it must be ok.
One good thing, ARIZONA HAS A DEATH PENALITY!!!!!
Justice for this cowardly murderer, cold and swift!
Rep Gifford, RIP.
She's not dead syvyn.
Sorry, I'm getting conflicting reports.
Five are dead, including a FEDERAL JUDGE!
It's over for this guy. He'll be nothing but a show trial. Get the needle ready!
Barney Frank was just on my television saying "We don't know what motivated this guy so we shouldn't jump to any conclusions."
Coming from scum like Frank that probably means "we know what motivated this guy and we don't want to talk about it because it hurts the Democratic agenda."
OLBERDORK TO HAVE SPECIAL SATURDAY NIGHT EDITION OF COUNTDOWN, 8:00 PM.
Oooo golly, can't wait! It would take a lot for Olby to get out of the bathtub on a Saturday. Can't let the shooting story pass up, need to get out there and blame someone.
Let's take a wild guess what the sociopath comes up with tonight. There are already Associated Depressed articles out saying that the father of the Congresswoman who was shot blaming the Tea Party. So look for the MSNBC moron to bring that up.
It's the Tea Party's fault!
It's Sarah Palin's fault!
It's Michelle Bachmann's fault!
It's John Boehner's fault!
It's Fox News's fault!
It's talk radio's fault!
and finally We need to ban guns!
Did I miss anything?
The question is, will he blame Jared Lee Loughner?
Reading through the writings that have been made public, no discernible political themes have emerged. The guy appears to be a nut. Olbermann may seize on the line about a gold-backed currency, but that is one line. Most of the stuff that has been made public has been ranting about low literacy rates, grammar, and other pseudo-philosophical gibberish.
Yeah, Tony. You left off Beck!
A lunatic attacks and right away the left turns it into a polotical with hunt against all the likely suspects. Didn't the learn their leason from the Discovery channel fiasco? For those who don't visit the site Hillbuzz.org I will link a good article they are doing on the politicalozation of this attack.
http://hillbuzz.org/2011/01/08/my-congresswoman-voted-against-nancy-pelosi-and-is-now-dead-to-me-eerie-daily-kos-hit-piece-on-gabrielle-giffords-just-two-days-before-assassination-attempt-on-her/
Latest I have heard the congresswoman is responding to verbal commands but five people have been killed along with a nine year old girl.
I hope Olbermann treats this situation with respect and not another reason for partisan bomb throwing.
Earlier this afternoon, moron of the year KOS posted this via twitter
markos Markos Moulitsas
Mission accomplished, Sarah Palin, http://is.gd/knNgl
and do you think bathtub boy will bringthat up, let alone make him a "worse person?" hell no. I'll be curious to hear the mud slinging he's going to do at 8pm tonight. Get out your waders and shovels, it's Countdown
How much you want to bet that Phil Harris is already regretting letting Keith on the air tonight?
I can smell the special ED comment brewing now.
I would wait to dispense judgement but that's not would Olbermann would do.
Much like all these similar incidents, the perpetrator has mental issues that have nothing to do with political ideology. But I'm sure that won't stop Olbermann from using this incident for political gain.
MKDAWUSS, will you or the other Olbermann defenders who lurk here have the balls to call out your hero for doing this? I doubt it.
Heck, Meer. If Keithy could get away with it, he'd have Markos on tonight.
Jared Lee Loughne a countdown fan?
I hope he doesn't, but he probably will.
There is no evidence to link this guy to the tea party or Sarah Palin. If he makes the connection, how can he continue to claim that he bases what he says on facts, and tells the truth?
Well, he can't. But he probably still will.
meerkatpooh, am I missing something on that link? All I see is another shithead with a blog.
This Sheriff/Idiot of Pima County is already blaming this on the papers law for illegals. Says Arizona is the land of prejudice! WTF? Guess he'll be on Countdown Monday.
Is there any low these open borders crowd won't stoop too?
WTF? Now Keith says it's a privilege to read the constitution? Wasn't a few days ago that this was a 'stunt'? Hypocrisy, thy name is Keith!
Giffords was one of the people he donated to, which led to his far-left-outcry-shortened suspension. That said, I'm thankful she's alive.
I hate to admit this, but Ed's show before Olby was actually decent. But did you hear Olberdork start in with the "free speech has consequences" crap? And who the hell was that unhinged sheriff blaming talk radio during the news conference?
My guess is the sheriff was just reacting emotionally. Which, he shouldn't have really done.
There is the irony that calling Arizona the "Mecca of vitriol and bigotry" or whatever he said, is an example of hyperbolic vitriol.
"My guess is the sheriff was just reacting emotionally. Which, he shouldn't have really done."
Your guess is wrong.
http://www.kgun9.com/Global/story.asp?S=12386648
Hey Dupnik: Shut the fuck up. Instead of spewing bull to get your name in the national spotlight maybe you could try doing your job and find that other suspect.
And at 9:30pm EST Keith blamed Sarah Palin's "bullseye target" ad. I'm surprised it took that long!
And now has Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo blog to blame right wing talk radio for this cowardly act.
On FNC, Hemmer and Kelley are interview Dr. Keith Ablow. He said this guys favorite books were Mein Kamph and the Communist Manifesto.
Will Keith say anything about that? Need you ask?
Dailykos had a map with congresswoman Giffords on it. They also had a diary two days ago talking how this congresswoman was "dead" to the diaristy. Both were scrubbed from the website, and oddly enough from the google cashe today. Will Keith mention that the left also had her in their "crosshairs"? Of course not, why destroy an illogical rant with truth?
I imagine MKDAWUSS has nothing to say about that.
But he did have this to say:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1/8/934338/-Statement-by-President-Obama-on-Giffords-shooting
BLOGGER: "Great news about the congresswoman's condition, but, when will the rhetoric of the right be held accountable for acts like this?"
MKDAWUSS: "Only in places like this & certain hours on MSNBC."
I wonder MKDAWUSS, how is this the right's fault? Because of a poster with targets on it? I bet being the big gamer you are you play a game or two with a crosshair. More hypocrisy, no wonder you love Olbermann so much.
I also wonder if your brother and sisters are as dumb as you are. It takes a special kind of stupid to believe this garbage.
And it's the moment you've haven't been waiting for..... IT'S THE RUNNING SPECIAL COMMENT ON THE SPECIAL COMMENT!!!!!!!!
We need to put the guns down. Who gives a fuck about the 2nd amendment.
All Guns are evil. Remember, guns don't kill people, but they help!
DOMESTIC TERRORISM! Or in otherwords, anyone with a R next to his name.
Dupick is the new hero of Olbyplanet.
AND HE BLAMES TALK RADIO! Hasn't named Beck or Rush yet.
And he blames Sister Sarah. Cause it's always her fault.
Blames Mrs. Gifford's opponent for this? Shit!
NOW HE BLAMES ALAN WEST? When is he going to blame TV or Joe Flannigan or soccor.
LET'S REPUDIATE EVERYONE!
I repudiate you, Keith!
Now he brings in Beck. All because of gold. And O'Reilly for Tiller.
Now he says Obama shouldn't be interviewed by Bill-o!
TUSCON SHOULDN"T HAPPEN AGAIN. BAN ALL GUNS!
Sorry, Keith. A apology from you is worthless.
Now Keith wants us to assume facts not in evidence. Who needs proof.
THIS IS Some shit about slavery.
Brings up the ghost of JFK.
Blames the entire Tea Party.
Not fired at congresswoman, but a attack on all of us.
Attacked Liberty. But Keith's solution is to remove liberty.
To rev up the right, bad. For Keith to rev up the left? GOOD!
I wish you weren't a American.
And thankfully, IT'S OVER! Keith's off to the tub. And I'm off to the shower.
Good night and good bye.
This was very courageous of you Syvyn11. Thank you.
Sorry, Keith, but the O'Reilly interview is still on.
Note to all of you: don't search keitholbermann comment on Twitter. Rev. Olbermahn is being showered with praise from his far-left choir.
See you guys later. Going to spend the rest of the night watching "one crazy summer", with John Cusak (before he was a douche) and Demi Moore (when she was HOT!). one of the best 80's teen comedy flicks ever.
I don't like citing Newsbusters but they found this turd of a story:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20027918-503544.html
Pure crap.
Since this entire thing has been politicized by the far left media, I'm sure they brought up the fact that Loughner murdered a judge appointed by a Republican President.
I was unaware of tonight's show; did he actually say O'Reilly should not have the Obama interview because of this? Is he aware how transparently that reeks of jealousy and pettiness?
Yes, he did.
The Right Scoop recap:
"In his special comment tonight on the shooting spree that included Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Olbermann called out Sarah Palin, Allen West, Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and the Tea Party for contributing ever how 'tangential' to the atmosphere the causes violence and said that each of them should repudiate their fear based/violent rhetoric: [Video.] It’s important to note now, as it’s been important to note all day long, that THERE IS NO KNOWN MOTIVE YET for the shooting today. Yet imbeciles like Olbermann want to go ahead and blame this on the Right because they hate the Right and want to silence the Right. Sure, he gave his little pathetic speech about himself, but they only do that to try and look fair. But if he was so fair, then why didn’t have name 5 or 6 from the Left who have 'contributed' the violent atmosphere in America? Because it’s not about the Left, but about the Right. And it’s ridiculous."
He is trying to scare President Obama--or, at least, his handlers--out of the interview with Mr. Bill. This is the same crap he pulled on the It Happened to Alexa Foundation two years ago, thanks to Amanda Terkel's Think Propaganda distortion. It didn't work then and it *shouldn't* work now. Don't listen to him, Mr. President, Mr. Axelrod, Mr. Daley, etc. Do the interview.
On such a tragic day, sports has been a ray of sunshine. 6 seeds triumphed in both NFL wild card games today: the Seahawks and Jets.
Seattle was a 4 seed with an atrocious record that beat an overrated Saints team.
The Jets are a 6 seed that is gonna get wrecked by New England next week.
So, the solution is not to weed out unbalanced people from our society, but to censor free speech and the free flow of ideas?
Yes, let's just run and hide from the fringe. Perfectly in line with the left's approach to dealing with terrorism
Oh, I forgot. Sorry about that. With their record, Seattle might as well have been a 6.
A tweet from Tamara Holder: "Wow, the day began with terrible tragedy and ended with a miracle: [Rep. Gabby] Gibbons is out of [surgery] and ALERT!"
By Olbermann's standards Ms. Holder is a moron for spelling "surgery" wrong.
The tweet that followed had some bad news: "It came from Politico. Darn! RT @pianistagirl: @Jose_RosadoCT @tamaraholder sadly the report that she's alert is not true. Keep praying."
How do you think Gibbons would feel if she knew about all the partisan finger-pointing that's taken place today? The finger-pointing culminated in Keith's Komment.
This is what Jim Mora would have said about that atrocity in Seattle today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tie0tz7jGDI&feature=player_embedded#!
I am a longtime Saints fan (I am from New Orleans so I am NOT a bandwagoner) and yet I do feel somewhat better knowing our Super Bowl opponent got knocked out of the playoffs too. Unfortunately, this loss will overtake the 18-0 Patriots losing to the Giants as the most shocking loss in NFL History and could have a devistating impact in our teams' future success.
Now I got that off my chest, I must say that I am extremely disgusted with the behavior of the media during the tragedy. Any intelligent person with any shred of decency understands the horror, sadness, and pain of the events that folded this afternoon in AZ. Alan West? Really? He is blamed for this when he is over 3K miles away? Sharron Angle? Really? I have not heard 1 single word from her since November 3. Sarah Palin? Really? I read her facebook page and her posting was very sincere. Glenn Beck? Really? Bill O'Reilly? Really? And on and on and on....................
We all get the point. I didn't want to get political because of this tragedy, but all of these people in the media are shedding Crocodile tears for Congresswoman Giffords, ESPECIALLY KEITH OLBERMANN. DID HE TALK ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN DONATIONS TO TAKE OUT THE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE????????? They are only using this tragedy to further advance their agenda which is to shut down the Tea Party. I didn't hear one single comment from the media about the Bush Administration guy that was found dead in a landfill. "He is a Republican, he deserved it", as some talking head on M.S.S.R. would probably echo and everyone would just smile, bob their head in agreement to that statement. May tonight be a repudiation of all that is Progressive, starting with the assholes in the media, blogosphere, and M.S.S.R. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of all that were wounded and killed today, and they REALLY need them.
Anyone care to hold their breaths or wager the Brooklyn Bridge when and if Fat Ass or the Wife Beater bring this up???

I know this was touched on earlier but here's the link containing screen shots the pages before they were scrubbed by that weasel Moulitsis. Until FatAss repudiates the kos klowns by name his komment is pure hypocrisy.
Enjoy, especially you mkdawuss:

Pitting Republicans against Democrats and Tea Party Activists against Radical Leftists as to who is responsible for this shooting is just rediculous.
I will NOT listen to Der Kommissar tell us who is responsible for what happened today, given his track record of advocating violence against women with whom he disagrees with i.e. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Malkin. I do know that a 22 year old psychopath pulled the trigger and killed a 9 year old girl today too.
"There is the irony that calling Arizona the "Mecca of vitriol and bigotry" or whatever he said, is an example of hyperbolic vitriol."
It is only "acceptable" hyperbolic vitriol if it fits the progressive agenda. I once heard Morning Schmoe and Bubbles Brzezinski condemn Glenn Beck as being hyperbolic and tried to get every guest to condemn him and the whole Fox network. Do they even watch their own network's hyperbole-fest after their morning disaster goes off the air into the Daily Ramdown with UpChuck Todd?
Nice catch oregonconservative. I think Cox and J$ should save that one for the history books.
According to the Special ED Comment, Markos should repudiate himself and remove himself from political postings.
Hey, fair is fair.
Brad Wilmouth, NewsBusters: Olbermann Suggests Palin & Other Conservatives 'Slightly Less Madmen' Then Gunman, Apologizes for Past Violent Suggestions
The link has a full transcript of Lonesome Olbs' screed.
What a discusting individual Der Kommissar is. He feels as if his "apology" is actually worth a Damn when he just spent a whole show with his pitchfork and torch going after all Conservatives??????? The Hefty One is quick to point out what everyone else supposedly said, but impunes himself from the specific and equally horrific things he had said about women on his show as recently as FRIDAY. He is not sorry. A person with no conscience feels no guilt. Like I said, Crocodile tears.
Or to quote a Komment of his in September 2008, "phony, crocodile, opportunistic tears." And many left-wing ideologues have shed the same tears in the last 24 hours. Believe it or not, some of those ideologues have no use for Krazy Keith. The rest love him to bits.
You took the words out of my mouth Mike C.
Anyway, don't expect MKDAWUSS here today. At least not until the Chiefs get bounced. I'm sure he has plenty to say about the hypocrisy laid out by his hero Olbermann and his boss Markos.
I'm beginning to think this is the left's opening strategy for 2012: "You want to put a Republican back in the White House? You want to elect [more] Republicans to Congress? Look at what they've caused! Vote for us."
From Marty "Chickaboomer" Davis: Guns N' Poseurs
"The political left was just handed a number one with a bullet convo changer as some barely out of his teens wack job goes bats**t in Arizona, shooting a Dem congresswoman in the head (she's still alive), and killing a half dozen others, including a nine-year-old girl ironically born on Sept. 11, 2001 -- the granddaughter of former Yankees and Mets GM Dallas Green. The shooting happened in a Tucson Safeway parking lot where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was holding an event.
Cable (via Johnny Dollar and ICN) and broadcast TV are all over this, with the Big Networks dispatching their A teams to Tucson. NPR was the first to report it because there was an NPR wife at the event. NPR and other news orgs had to walk back NPR's false report that Congresswoman Giffords had exited the planet.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann could barely contain himself as he donned his rubber socks and sprinted to 30 Rock for a rare Saturday performance. Mike Allen's Politico Playbook summarized Olbermann's righteous rant: ..."
I'm not quoting what Marty quoted Mike Allen quoting.
"MSNBC's Friends With Benefits, Politico, is the go-to for all the anti-Tea Party, Sarah Palin finger-pointing. The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz (host of CNN's Reliable Sources) finds the Sarah Palin linkage beyond the pale: 'Here we go again in Arizona, as people with political agendas unleash their attacks even before the victims of this senseless shooting have been buried. I find it depressing beyond belief. This isn't about a nearly year-old Sarah Palin map; it's about a lone nutjob who doesn't value human life. It would be nice if we briefly put aside partisan differences and came together with sympathy and support for Gabby Giffords and the other victims, rather than opening rhetorical fire ourselves.'"
"I'm beginning to think this is the left's opening strategy for 2012: "You want to put a Republican back in the White House? You want to elect [more] Republicans to Congress? Look at what they've caused! Vote for us.""
Mike, just because Olbermann is off his rocker doesn't mean people listen to him.
Blaming Republicans for the issues of a few very sick individuals is a recipe for backfire.
Olbermann isn't a public official; Clarence Dupnik and Raul Grijalva are. If other left-wing officials haven't blamed Republicans for this, they will in the minutes, hours, and days ahead.
"Mike, just because Olbermann is off his rocker doesn't mean people listen to him."
No, but be prepared for some kind of boast that from him if there is a bump in ratings this week. The Hefty One gets that well-deserved extra credit for working on his day off. BTW, I read that Sarah Palin's show may not get renewed yesterday? Why would TLC do that when it gets 5 times the amount of Countdung every night? Is this political motivation of the nut-roots and everyone blaming the tea party for this? I'm sure this will make great fodder for Der Kommissar and the rest of the schmucks at M.S.S.R. this week. The first comment for readers in this story is the motivation of this:
http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Sarah-Palins-Alaska-might-not-return-for-a-second-season--report-says/7887392&rss=rss-kabc-ent_story-7887392
From NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell: "FBI says suspect attended 'a similar event' with Rep. Giffords in 2007. Mueller says more info on that to come." Unfortunately, this news will not change the minds of the finger-pointing true believers. Facts, schmacts.
The two commenters seem to think so, DJ.
This is very telling:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2011/01/09/within-minutes-shooting-cnn-finds-local-liberal-blame-states-rabid-right
So who is this guy David Fitzsimmons? Well, he is a left-wing cartoonist who makes a name for himself drawing cartoons and ATTACKING people whom he disagrees with on a daily basis. Hmmmm, if you add 2 + 2 together, I smell a Countdung appearance for this guy also. Just by looking at his cartoons, I smell a rat.
http://www.cagle.com/politicalcartoons/PCcartoons/fitzsimmons.asp
"If other left-wing officials haven't blamed Republicans for this, they will in the minutes, hours, and days ahead."
And if President Obama wants to use that same platform in two years that's fine with me. He's not impressing me in his current role.
"No, but be prepared for some kind of boast that from him if there is a bump in ratings this week."
All that means is J$ probably has another Olbermann lie to post this week. Because when Olbermann brags about his ratings it's usually embellished.
I just realized that if far-left pressure is the reason for TLC not renewing "Sarah Palin's Alaska," "The O'Reilly Factor" staff would investigate. But maybe the show would move to CMT.
If anyone wants a piece of political vitriol, the posters at TVNewser are running wild.
It was a Dog Day Afternoon in Philadelphia today: Man's Best Friend 1, Vick 0. So much for that Obama pep talk. Every Dog has his day, but in this case, hundreds of innocent dogs had theirs. FINALLY.
Fox Haters Week in Review
http://tinyurl.com/2dnvt4p
The sole topic: slanders concerning the Tucson, Arizona shooting. And surprise, surprise, surprise! Olby is featured.
Thanks, Jeff. I will quote that part below. The words are J$'s:
And then there’s Keith Olbermann, who couldn't wait 12 hours to exploit the tragic events. But how real is his outrage? He calls out no one from his own network. If he wants to complain about Glenn Beck, why not mention Ed Schultz, who famously stated he wanted to rip Dick Cheney's heart out? While the smart money says the shooter is a mental case, Olbermann wants to make political, and anti-FNC, hay out of it. There is at least as much evidence that the killer is a deranged leftist as there is to suggest he’s a deranged rightist, and yet (except for a passing reference to one of his own 'metaphors') Olbermann's enumerations are all of conservatives and/or Fox News employees.
Of course playing partisan favorites is nothing new for Olbermann. Did you ever hear one peep out of him over this radio fantasy of George W Bush being riddled with bullets? But if he is going to condemn extreme rhetoric, can't he at least pretend to be honest about it. Maybe show some contrition for his description of Michelle Malkin as a 'mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick'. Or for his featuring a joke about shooting Dick Cheney. Instead he attacks Sarah Palin, for 'target' imagery used on her website. Say, isn't that something like depicting Rush Limbaugh as a target in a shooting range? Who would do that? You guessed it.
But the double standard gets even thicker. Olby calls out Palin, but somehow neglects to mention the attacks on Rep Giffords over at the Daily Kos. One writer said in his headline that Rep Giffords is ‘dead to me’--just two days before the shooting. Just a few years ago the Kossacks ran an anti-Giffords piece that literally put a bullseye target on her district! Not a word of it in Keith Olbermann’s impassioned 'special comment'. Could that have something to do with the fact that Daily Kos is where Olbermann blogs?
Natuarlly there's an O'Reilly attack, resurrecting the Dr. Tiller business, but Olby tosses in a new, revealing wrinkle:
Those commentators and the others must be repudiated by their viewers and listeners, by all politicians who would appear on their programs including President Obama and his planned interview with Fox on Super Bowl Sunday...
Now we're getting down to it. Olbermann's obsession with Bill O'Reilly--the man who trounces him in the ratings night after night, year after year--is no secret. It’s not beyond imagination that O'Reilly's Obama interview doesn't sit well with Keith. KO could have called for Obama to refuse the interview any time over the past week, but he didn’t. Then along came a disastrous shooting spree and Olby has his excuse. Sure it's less than 12 hours after people died, but what better time to exploit a tragedy?
If Olby wants to be taken seriously, he should practice what he preaches. If Sarah Palin's target was as bad as Olbermann's endless invocations of it suggest, then let's see him take on the Daily Kos with the same vigor. To put it another way, the Kos target-bullseye imagery must be repudiated by all readers, and by all writers who would appear on their website--including Daily Kos blogger Keith Olbermann. By his own standards, Olby must condemn Daily Kos and sever ties with them. Will Keith Olbermann follow his own advice? Don’t bet your house on it.
BlueBoy (or whatever his name is) apologized in his own special way:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=249273
I'd love to take his bet. But if MKDAWUSS is any indication BlueBoy is another pansy ass Kossack bitch with no spine.
Our medical system in the USA is the best in the world. USA doctors (in AZ) are working as hard as they can, with the best resources, information, and knowledge to save the Congresswoman's life. With a Republican governor in AZ doesn't this work against The Hefty One's notion of GOP Death Panels in AZ? I think it is justification that since no other Networks covered his bloated story, Der Kommissar, naturally, gets it wrong. Again. Just a thought.
You know, I'm not so angry with Olberdork because he did exactly what I expected him to do - blame Palin, Fox, Beck, etc. that was expected. But there person who really does piss me off right now is that demented fuck of a sheriff out there, Dupnic. Where the hell does he come off blaming talk radio and the Tea Party for what happened, right in the first news conference after the shooting? He's not a blogger, not a Democrat spokesman, not even a state rep or a state senator, but a God damned sheriff? Are sheriff's elected out there in Arizona? Do they run on a party ticket? I was furious after watching that dick say all this crap at the news conference. Hey, why the hell don't you leave the politics out of it and just do your job and solve the crime, ok asswipe? Do you have a fucking handle on Daily Kos or something? I don't know if any of you noticed, but at the end of the press conference, after he was walking away, a reporter asked "do you have evidence that talk radio influenced the shooter" and dicknik just shouted "No!". What a total mornic ass.
Katrina Trinko, National Review: Mr. Civility
"after he was walking away, a reporter asked "do you have evidence that talk radio influenced the shooter" and dicknik just shouted "No!"."
Liberals feel they are freely able to voice their opinions no matter what they are. That is why so many people laugh at them because they claim to be so smart. In the end, as the sheriff said, he has no evidence of "Right wing Radio" influencing the shooter. It is all a lie ginned up so people like Der Kommissar and the other lefty idiots can grab their pitchforks and torches, rile up their psychotic mob and punish the people whom they disagree with.
Rules for Radicals: Never let a crisis go to waste. Identify your target, isolate it, discredit and take them down. I have to stand in awe at the idiocy at M.S.S.R. Der Kommissar was talking about (or demanding) the people in this country have to get rid of their guns. This morning on Morning Schmoe, they were talking how politicians need to arm themselves when going into a public realm. Uh, so does that mean that if citizens of this country are forced to give up their 2nd amendment right (as The Hefty One suggests) and politicians don't, a constituent who speaks up against that politician can be "taken care of"?
It's even worse wolf - now they are talking about "banning" any words or symbols that might be regarded as "inciting violence". You now have liberal members of the media and Congress doing everything they can to turn this into a 1950 Soviet style terror state, and they do it with a straight face.
