Nobody cares about Olberman as you can see by the lack of comments posted on this story and his sorry ass ratings on MSNBC.

Olberman is nothing but a humorless hack that sucked at ESPN and CBS Sports in So Cal.

Come on, Post something of importance like Hillary and Obama sparring with each other, or the fact that another Middle East Country is laughing at the UN and their meaningless resolutions.

Could not disagree more with Hallzee. Apparently, so does MSNBC who put up decent money to keep Keith for another four years. In fact, we need more real newspeople who will do the dirty work of reporting on Bushco, who have their own propaganda force at Fux News, and various other so called news outlets. If Keith does nothing more than annoy Bill O’Reilly, then he is worth his weight in gold!

he strikes me simply as another boorish, condescending talking head, one who is full of criticism but no real answers…only on the left head of the spectrum

you can litteraly see the self righteousness drip off of him whenever he launches into one of his “how dare you mr. president” rants

“the most honest man in news”? more like “the most pompous and arrogant man left of bill oreilly on cable”

I usually try to keep my opinions to myself but the lack of comments comment (?) really made me angry.

Hallzee, you’re an idiot. This issue of RS hasn’t even hit the stands yet. If you hate him so much why did you bother to read the article?? There are a lot of people who think what Olbermann has to say is important and very necessary. We need more people to speak up against Bush, etal.

Nice try, though. Are you sure you’re name isn’t O’Reilly???? You sound as stupid as he does.

Olberman is just another hate-filled left wing moonbat. He manufactures these self righteous rants and attacks on guys like O’Reilly because he has no substance himself or people would actually tune in to that craphole channel MSNBC!

Olbermann is is a one man circus. No reasonable person takes anything he says seriously. He appears to have deep psychological and anger issues. It’s funny that MSNBC had to pay him so much when he routinely comes in 3rd or 4th place (out of 6) in his own time slot. There’s no doubt, however, that he has become the new darling of the liberal media.

Virginian Sasquatch,
Do you realize how deplorable and uninformed you sound? Blah blah blah, O’reilly sucks, blah blah. Nice. Keep up the wittiness.

very good journalist. One thing I would differ on is that Olbermann’s “City of Louisiana” was one of his earliest and still one of his best commentaries. I don’t miss him and often watch the repeat even though I already watch the first airing. Too little real news out there so I guess I am greedy for all of it I can get.

Ah, so predictable. Anytime anyone posts anything positive about Olbermann, out comes the little pack of haters. Yawn.

Keith has finally presented the masses with someone who is able to blend the eloquence and usage of FACTS of the ‘old media’, with the forthright delivery from the ‘new media’. In contrast to some of the other ‘freakshow’ darlings, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, he is able to present issues, opinion, fact, and intelligent discourse on his program. For those that are spoon-fed with angry conservative talking points, that have mistaken for news and in extreme cases, gospel, Keith is a breathe of fresh air.

Ranting on t.v. makes for great ratings. Too bad he doesn’t rant about union issues, world bank protests, deregulation, etc… Then you might actually be correct when you call him a liberal or leftist.

I work 2nd shift (4-12) and have to settle for what I can catch of Olberman each night on the repeat … but he never disappoints. He helps to assuage my anger over the bullshit coverage of the Black House from other “news” channels. Oh, I still think, with all the daily coverage of Anna Nicole, Britney, and other less than earth-shaking events, that he could do without that kind of coverage on his show, but I’m not the only one he’s got to please. Love the O’Reilly-trashing! Couldn’t happen to a nicer asshole!

Saddam blew up the World Trade Center buildings? JUSTICE TEXAS STYLE? Dumya, is that you, or your moron brother Neil? You better shut up, or I’ll tell Bar!

Saddam blew up the World Trade Center buildings? TEXAS JUSTICE STYLE? WTF? Dumya, is that you, or your moron brother Neil? You better shut up or I’ll tell Bar!

all you lackeys.. you repubs.. you lying sack of crap.. you trolls.. go back to your holes now.. You could not understand Keith Obermann if he was your kindergarten teacher.. morons

Trolls trolls everywhere – Hallzee, Virginian Sasquatch, Crimsonghost – these mindless drones attack and dismiss without considering the truth or meaning of Olbermann’s message.

Olbermann fully deserves the title “Most Honest Man In News”. Truth isn’t liberal or conservative. It is simply . . . rare.

Keith is the ONLY person on TV I can trust to be telling me the TRUTH! I love the man! No one else can even begin to compare.

If Olbermann was doing a half-assed crappy job, all the hate-mongers and trolls would not be on his case. Hehe, he’s doin’ somethin’ right, you betcha! One of the smartest on TV, the guy does his homework and speaks from an informed, patrioc, and oh-so-eloquent mind. Go Ketih, straight on and undiluted!!

Wow, the trolls come out in force any time something positive is posted about Olbermann. Yet, what they say is the same old crap: his rating suck, no one is watching, blah, blah, blah (hmmm his multi-million deal with NBC, which includes broadcast exposure on NBC Nightly News would seem to contradict that…). If you bloody hate the man so much, why do you bother reading the bloody article?

Olberman is the best thing on TV. He BTW has the best ratings among all the MSNBC shows just like Phil Donahue once had until he was cancelled. I enjoy his daily attacks against Faux News. Anybody who thinks Faux News is legit is one ignorant fool. I am proud to have convinced everybody on my staff at work that Faux News has a right wing agenda and is not to be trusted.

Chrism, reasonable people do take him seriously. In fact, it’s what worries you and why you, not being able to argue from a factual basis decided to go with the tried and true (yet empty) psychological and angry allegation. It’s a shame. Olberman’s no liberal and actually shouldn’t be a threat to you. He merely tells the truth as he sees it and we are awed because that’s so rare in the media. Someone had to stop and tell the truth about the Bush Administration. You remember them. The folks who after lying to you about WMD, yellow cake uranium, mushroom clouds, mobile labs, imminent threats, the war going well, imminent attacks, exposed terror plots, have now decided that the British pullout is a good sign that Iraq is making progress. Except it’s not a good sign, things aren’t as rosy as they say in that area. And Cheney undercut his own spin when he tried to stop the bleeding by urging other countries to stay with us in Iraq. You’d think, as America sends in 20,000 plus reinforcements that instead of pulling troops out of Iraq, the British would send them to an area that needs them. As a brilliant man from Texas, or was it Cleveland, once said “Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me an ungodly number of times that leads to the death of more than 3,000 American troops and you will never, ever regain my trust. Keith, thanks for doing your job.

Hallzee | 2/22/2007, 3:43 pm EST

Nobody cares about Olberman as you can see by the lack of comments posted on this story

The only question I want you to answer is: as one of the dwindling 30% who still support failure at any cost, will you get the lights on your way out?

I watch Keith every day, and trust me, he didn’t turn into “angry liberal man” overnight. He just got more and more fed up with the Bush administration and now has the balls to say something about it. He’s more Murrow than O’Reilly – the latter of whom gets wonderfully skewered almost every night for his stupid behavior and ill-informed rants (of which he continues to provide fresh material). Go, Keith!!

Well it’s easy to see which posts are from paid Republican operatives.

Olbermann should have stuck to sports center. To call him a “journalist” is a joke. He is overbearing, smug and thinks he is funnier than anyone else does. He is also unwatchable – his show is nothing more than an anti-Bush, anti-Republican screed – which is fine, but he is no better/different than (he just doesn’t make as much money or have 10% of the viewers)the agenda-driven rightwingers at Fox. He is above all boringly predictable.

I like watching both Mr. O and Keith. Both make good points, both love themselves and both go on retarded rants. Pick your poison.

Rolling Stone is no different than Keith Oberman. Both blindly subscribe to the ‘Bush is awful, the Republican’s are evil’ philosophy without ever considering the other side. Hey Rolling Stone, hating the right doesn’t make you cool or hip, it shows how one sided you are. Remember when punk music was anti-government, and then all the new bands jumped the bandwagon? You’re desensitizing the public with your lame and played out political expressions of rebellion, just like you’ve done with music. Good for you, you’ve become part of the problem.

Most people are unhappy with President Bush because there isn’t much to be happy about right now. Don’t give that bullshit exscuse of a cool and hip bandwagon of bush haters.

I have to admit I respect the fact that there are people who still think This administration is going in the right direction, but get a clue. If you still think Saddam had something to do with bringing down the towers you are living in a Bush administartion dream. The 9-11 commission found no evidence. To the person who wrote justice Teaxas style, this country would be much better off without southern Teaxas rednecks like you

stop arguing

The greatest mystery to me is “where is the outrage?” Why, after six years of being lied to, condescended to and being manipulated by this administration, why are the American people not taking to the streets and shouting from the rooftops, “BRING IN THE GROWNUPS!” As terrible as this may sound, 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to Bush. The eight months prior to this awful event saw an administration looking for direction and basically searching for a reason to exist. Bush could have gone down in history as one of our greatest presidents if only….if only……but he didn’t. We had the world on our side, but hell, that’s another story. Thank God for Olberman. The reason KO sounds so ‘Democratic’ is that he tells it like it is about Bush the lesser. If, in 2008, a Democrat is elected president, Olberman will again do his best to keep him (or her) in line. He is not talking from a Democrat’s point of view, but from the truth’s, as he sees it. His is the lone voice ‘crying in the wilderness’ against this insanity. No wonder the talking heads on Fox hate him so, as does anyone else who has drunk the Bush Kool-Aid.

Olberman’s questioning of the words and policies of Bushco is intellectually honest, and powerfully cutting. If they weren’t, Bush’s supporters would not have the need to single him for attack.

My children’s grandmother loves Olberman’s show. That is proof enough that Olberman is doing something right.

he seems to be no better or worse than another other commentator on tv, though he is rather predictable, kind of like sean hannity–both have a tendency to beat a dead horse and be utterly annoying

he’d be more watchable if he lost the self-righteous crusader schtick

again, i think with any commentator, he’s not so much telling the truth but his version of it…like jocky nerd says, pick your poison

I disagree with Bush about nearly everything and I think Bill O’Reilly is obnoxious, but Keith Olberman is a smarmy, disingenuous, jerk.

Olbermann’s special comment on Katrina was definitely his best. It was incredibly moving. I don’t know how it didn’t make Rolling Stone’s top five. Hallzee, when you comment on a story as soon as it goes up on the site, how do you expect there to be any comments, yet? Obviously, you were proven wrong.

This asshole is lucky that O’Reilly exists, otherwise he’d have no material. The guy has made a career out of following Bill O’reilly to the boys room. What a smug prick (Olberman).

First off Keith is saying things most of America wants to stay but do not have the venue. And Hallzee how could you not love Olberman when he was on Sportscentre. “puts the biscuit in the basket!” “From way downtown BANG!” These are catchphrases that are now legendary. Hallzee I bet you prefer Dave Revsine or Bill Pidto.

Olbermann is a joke. He can’t decide whether he wants to be serious like Bill O’Reilly or funny like John Stewart. His only reason to hate O’Reilly is because O’Reilly trashes him in the ratings department. I don’t agree with everything O’Reilly or Fox News says, but Olbermann is your typical cheap shot of a TV commentator. His career has been a joke from ESPN to radio commentary, and now his attempt in political news. He’ll be gone before you know it. He won’t outlast O’Reilly, that’s for sure.

Hallzee is correct. Why does RS refrain from posting the Hillary Obama battle? It’s going to be amusing to watch the dems destroy themselves again. RS is about as fair and balanced as Fox News.

So Olbermann thinks he’d make a better anchor than Katie Couric huh? This is the same guy who never stepped foot out of the MSNBC studios during Katrina when every other anchor at the network was dispatched to the Gulf Coast including their political show anchors. This is the same guy who has never covered a hurricane, never been to Iraq or in fact, covered a single war. But he thinks he’d be a better anchor than Couric and that Anderson Cooper is some sort of media experiment? The ego on Olbermann is so off-putting that I simply can’t watch him anymore. I don’t watch the news to get spin, and spin is what Olbermann provides. He’s no better than O’Reilly and I can’t stand either of them.

hmmmmm… i love me some keith oblermann.

LOL keith olberman??doesnt he get like a tenth of the viewers that Bill Oreilly gets? hes not even in the big leagues….

I think Mr. Olberman is the best and I think he’s hilarious. His takes on
Orally and the others are great. His special comments make me stand up and salute. This is why the wackos go after him. It’s a gut check. I’m very glad he reupped with MSNBC. As an aside – I don’t think Matthews likes Olberman much and I don’t think Olberman cares.

popularity and ratings mean nothing

NASCAR is popular, but it’s rednecks cheering for guys going fast in circles

Physics is not popular, but it changed our lives

KO speaks the truth

The Clinton Administration was just as at fault for 9/11 as the Bush Administration due to Clinton’s negligence to act. Why doesn’t Rolling Stone talk about that, and the dangers that a President Hillary Clinton could bring? Anyone who thinks she’ll be better than Bush is dangerously wrong. Obviously, Bush is no brainchild, but she is dangerous. That’s a more serious topic of discussion than this loser-nobody Olbermaniac! Get real Rolling Stone!

Hallzee, you hit the nail on the head. The reason why Olberman’s ratings are in the toilet is because most people don’t agree with his views, well that and he’s a smarmy, arrogant prick. He’s like the little annoying yippy dog trying so hard to get some attention, but nobody really cares about him. He can’t stand the fact that people with his views are in the minority in this country and that his ratings compared to O’Reilly’s are pathetic.
And as for the rest of the news anchors being Bush robots, give me a break. Anyone who can say that with a straight face most likely wears a tinfoil hat. It is a fact that the great majority of news anchors are extremely liberal and have no problem being seen as such. The fact that most don’t come out and viciously attack the President, doesn’t make them Bush Robots, but simply possessing some amount of tact. Something Olberman could use a dose of.

Keith speaks the truth. It’s time for Keith to Squash O’Reily.I would love to watch a good ol fashion throw down between the two. O’Reily is a dirt bag. Bush is the worst person in the world!
Thanks Keith!

Conservatism is a Virus! Once your infected your screwed. Your brain ceases to function, your mind shuts down, and you just quite frankly can not think or see out of the box. Keep on F#*king it up Mr. Bush.

As a journalist, Geraldo Rivera blows Keith Olbermann out of the water. Another anti-Bush talking head, gee, how original.

Olberman is real. It’s very rare to find this. If his ratings don’t reflect how good he is, time will change that. He’s interesting, isn’t a demagogue, and makes a real point…..not a talking point ala mr. no spin and the vast right wing talking head wasteland.

It’s funny how Bush is widely being considered as one of the worst presidents of all time by historians, yet Olbermann is the only MSM personality that calls Bush out on his idiocy. Bravo, Keith.

I would like to challenge any of our liberal friends here to detail what type of positive effect our exit from Iraq might have on the Middle east and the world community. This relates to Olberman, in that I have never, not once, heard he nor any other liberal politician, pundit, or citizen make that case. It is always “Bush lied, bring the troops home”. I would like for one of you adults among us (if you exist) to step forward and suggest what you think might realistically happen upon our exit from Iraq that will be of benefit to the situation.

mford, there would be none…it would be like cambodia after we left vietnam, mass killings on an even wider scale, a complete power vacuum that would increase Iran’s hegemony and embolden terrorism in general

but at least olberman would get the satisfaction from gloat about how he and his ilk brought the troops home, no matter at the expense of iraqi lives

MFord: There is very little positive that can or will come out of the Iraq misadventure regardless of what we do. The Bush administration has lost most of its support at home and our list of allies in Iraq grows smaller.

To turn your question around, what positive has come of being in Iraq and why should we stay?

The cost of the war will be paid for by generations to come, our good will in the world has evaporated, Iran will emerge as a dominant power in the region (because of the US), Iraq will continue to erupt in Civil War (whether we stay or go), and staying will not change any of this. Pulling out (regardless of the consequences) is the least of several bad options.

And MFord…we love the mindset of “What are YOU going to do?” It’s like the drunken kid whose folks come home to find the house burned to the ground.

So, Mom and Dad – what’re you going to do to rebuild the house?

For starters, the kid needs to be punished since he’s proven himself to be totally irresponsible. Make the kid pay for the damage with his OWN money.

And make damn well sure you don’t let the kid do that again.

bill is number 1 in cable news and and there is a reason has the best point of views ever

Some good that will come out of the Iraq war is that Iraq will be partitioned into either three separate states or three territories. Churchill considered Iraq one of his biggest mistakes; partitioning the country will correct it.

Hoffmania, it is clear that you do not have a grasp on the situation. The sad thing is that many Americans share your mentality.

A question: do you think that the parents of the kid who burned the house down would elect to rebuild the house, or would they choose instead to live right there in the ashes?

Fred…the most obvious positive thing that can come out of staying in Iraq is the fact that there is a better chance of some success by trying another option (that may work), rather than just signing off and turning Iraq into unspeakable chaos and destruction. The issue we are arguing here is not whether it was correct to go into Iraq, the issue is how to correctly turn the present into the best possible future outcome. Leaving Iraq guarantees failure and chaos. Staying and trying another option gives us at least a shot.

“…we call him ‘The Most Honest Man in News.’”

-

He’s no more honest than O’Reily except you like him because he’s a Bush-basher. Do you really think you’re fair, responsible journalists?

So I give MFord an answer and I get an attack on my mentality and my ability to grasp reality.

The folks can’t rebuild if the kid blew all their money, genius.

Thanks for engaging in yet another brilliant swerving wingnut conversation. We must do this again sometime.

Maybe in 2008?

Olberman is elegant enough and well spoken and his rants are catchy but a lot of the things that come out of his mouth you could easily rip apart with facts. Olberman is farther left than O’reily is right. He’s kind of like that Dyson character (the African American blogster). Entertaining enough but if you actually listen to what he is saying sentence by sentence, it’s not that leget.

Hmmm, I wonder if Rolling Stone will post “The Top 5 Rants of Sean Hannity.” I’m guessing no.

What uninformed, ignorant ass could still support this “president”, “vice president” and those around them? What complete fool could look upon the events of the past 6 years and believe that the nation is better off than before? I suspect that those who still support these traitors–these carpetbaggers–look at the proceedings that take place daily in our government as if they are watching the hometown team play hockey.

Just have another beer, fellas, and root on the good old rednecks who have screwed us for generations to come.

Why aren’t we impeaching these bastards?

Professor, before you exhaust every liberal debate cliche’ in the book and make a complete fool of yourself, one suggestion might be to find out what the term “carpetbagger” means before using it. I mean, I know we are a bunch of ignorant racist redneck idiots and I probably shouldn’t have caught that, but no worries. At least you have Rosie O’Donnell and Blink 182 on your side.

MFord: I agree there “could” be a better chance of success by staying in Iraq with a new and different course but Bush’s new and different course is neither and will fail miserably. However, first it will cost a significant amount of US money and American lives while continuing to destabilize the region. I think we have to accept the fact that the US has created a failed State where one did not exist, a haven for terrorism where one did not exist, and as a country we do not have the resources to pull Iraq back from the brink. We failed, now we have to manage the fall out.

So, while I respect your opinion, I really think staying is only going to make the situation worse because our strategy is fundamentally flawed and we would only prolong the inevitable.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I do not share your pessimism. What makes you so certain that the new strategy will fail so miserably? Certainly there has not been enough time to make that conclusion, given the fact that the new system has only been in effect now for a few weeks. Is it really fair to call it a day and just assume the plan is going to fail because Bush implemented it? Is that smart? I support trying to salvage the situation, not because I am supporting Bush, but because I am supporting the promise of Mideast stability. I certainly prefer that to what will certainly ensue if we decide to leave.

FACT: Keith Olberman is a cawke sucking queer.

This is the real truth to power, folks: Olbermann’s shows are daily exercises in hypocrisy, pomposity, and almost as much lying as a Michael Moore crokcumentary. With a few exceptions, Olby will never have anybody on who – gasp! – disagrees with him. And somebody should tell him that running Example #5,217 on why he hates Bill O’Reilly’s guts is not newsworthy.

How can anyone with even half a brain not agree with what this man is saying???

Earl, it’s called having a different opinion. Does that concept not even register in your brain?

MFord,
“You are entitled to your opinion, but I do not share your pessimism. What makes you so certain that the new strategy will fail so miserably?”

Because the U.S. has already tried this strategy twice before in Baghdad and it hasn’t worked. The Brits know this, that’s why Blair pulled his troops out before he would’ve had to deal with the political noose of another failed strategy.

Bodi: “Olberman is farther left than O’reily is right.”

You are fucking retarded. Olberman isn’t even “left wing” because he doesn’t rant about anything left of center economically. (Again, where is his support of unions, world bank and globalization protestors, federal business regulation, etc..) O’Reilly is in lock step with the corporations on all these issues -as is Olberman. On social issues O’Reilly is pretty far right (although not personally, but he’s paid good money to keep his sexual harassment suit out of the public eye), and I’ve never heard Olberman say anything endorsing liberal or conservative social issues. Olberman makes his money by tearing apart an unpopular president. It is business and labeling it liberal or conservative is misleading and stupid.

MFord, I suggest that you take some of your own advice, friend. You would preclude the idea of carpetbagging where the oil and riches of Iraq are concerned? You would deny that the two fascists in charge did not profit either directly or by proxy through the actions in the days after the “mission was accomplished”? You play the blame game quite nicely and are representative of our current regime and yet, you would alternately revise history and ignore the government’s thug tactics which hearken back to your good to the good old days of Goebbels, Himmler and the gang. It’s a wonderful thing to not only do the thinking for the masses, but also to call those who don’t march in lock-step “sympathizers” with the enemy or “Un-patriotic”. Your tripe is so common now that it not only boring, but downright hilarious. You apparently are one of the last of those clinging on to the backs of this bunch.

Oh, and the finger-pointing? I hate liberals and think Rosie –in your words–”blows serious dog”. Try again, pal.

Amazing that ‘damail” (the name says it all) would be on an admitted “young person’s site” like Rolling Stone casting aspersions on people like Olbermann and Michael Moore. It’s good that schleps like this allow the O’Reilly’s to instill such national fervor that it obfuscates facts. It’s good that people like Limbaugh, quite likely a poster child for the small minded of damail’s ilk, can literally survive personal trainwrecks that would sink most professionals. Then again, those trainwrecks are simply manifestations of the liberal media and police force trying to get him, right, and O’Leilly’s mistruths are simply the liberal media’s take on “the facts”, right?

Amazing that this clown would name Moore. What, did it bother you that in Fahrenheit 911, he sought to ask politicians if any of THEIR kids were being sent to fight in this personal war?

What will it take for the idiot fringe to understand? Wasn’t Nam a good enough lesson? Doesn’t it register that traitors like Bush and Cheney, who hid from military conflict or had their daddies bail them out, are adept at sending our young people to fight their unholy battles for power in the middle east? What will it take till ‘damail’ understands….his own draft notice coming in ‘damail’???

Here’s an addendum to the misinformed, pseudo-intellect of MFord: you are SUPPORTING STABILITY in the mid east by supporting the dynamic duo’s “plan”???? You must be insane. The moment that the U.S. leaves Iraq–not even an hour afterwards–all-out civil war will ensue. Do some reading before you embarrass yourself here. Look up the history between the sunnis and shiites. Do something that your heroes did not do—research.

Here’s a better idea. If you feel so strongly that Bush is a genius, then enlist. Put your money where your mouth is and ensure stability, pal.

“Mission accomplished”??? It’s like a child playing with dynamite.

The “Professor’s” use of every single liberal debate tactic is amusing. The claim that “you don’t even know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites”. Check. “If you believe in war so much why don’t you enlist?” Check. Use of words like “obfuscates”. Check. Referral to some politicians “rich daddy”. Check.

The two that you left out, however, was mentioning Bush’s “cronies”, and then putting the word President in parentheses, as if to suggest that he isn’t YOUR President. Other than those two, you were spot on.

I wasn’t going to even respond to this misguided, stream-of-conscience nonsense, but I guess I will go ahead. This quote:

“Here’s an addendum to the misinformed, pseudo-intellect of MFord: you are SUPPORTING STABILITY in the mid east by supporting the dynamic duo’s “plan”???? You must be insane. The moment that the U.S. leaves Iraq–not even an hour afterwards–all-out civil war will ensue.”

If anyone on Earth can explain to me what sense that rambling, incoherent diatribe made, I will be very appreciative. It certainly appears that the Professor prefers Civil War in Iraq to get here as quickly as possible.

Professor, a few things.

1. In Moore’s movie, when he asked the politicians if they would let their son/daughter serve in Iraq, one of them actually answered yes and that they had someone serving in Afghanistan, Michael Moore edited his answer and cut away from him right before he answered on camera. Just one example from a movie filled with edited lies.

2. That “Mission Accomplished” banner was put up by the Navy Commander for the troops on the ship that day that were coming home after their first tour in Iraq. Their first mission/tour was accomplished. Bush had nothing to do with “Mission Accomplished” banner. Listen to his speech that day. He said several times that “there is still a lot of hard work ahead of us….”

3. It depends how you look at Vietnam. When we pulled out, we definately saved thousands of American lives (58K had died), but 3MILLION people were killed when we left.

MFord, again, perhaps you get your logic from the men’s room wall. It makes about as much sense. Never mind the fact that you failed to point out why we are involved in someone else’s civil war. Never mind the fact that you have failed miserably in trying to show the connection between 9/11 and our entry into Iraq, as “your” hero has repeatedly tried to illicitly do. Never mind the fact that, yawn, no WMD’s were ever found. Never mind the fact that even “your” hero’s closest advisors are acknowledging that Saddam and his regime likely hated al qaeda as much as we did.

Listen, pal, I understand the rambling defense of incompetence. This fully explains why you hate Olbermann. It’s apparent that you can’t understand have the words he says or don’t have the mental capabilities to follow his line of thinking.

Tell you what….why not turn on something you can understand, like “I Love New York.”

Chris, were you around for Nam or did you get your information from General William Westmoreland’s “The History of the Vietnam Conflict for Dummies”???
We saved lives while we were there? Have you talked with anyone who WAS there? Do you think that you could convince anyone of the claptrap you just spewed?

You’ve missed the point completely, or in true neo-conservative fashion have chosen to ignore the idea completely. We had no business being in Nam, either, Chris. Just why do you and people like MFord feel we should be policing the world, anyway? Is it because you sit behind a cozy computer and can make such ridiculous claims while others do the dirty work? Or is it because you actually believe people like Bush, Cheney, Rove and others—guys who have never served a minute in harm’s way, mind you–that somehow, one of the very premises that built this country, the right to dissent–is actually aiding terrorists? Please Chris, explain that to me.

Your legions are shrinking, Chris. Even the most ardent supporters of these rats are waking up and smelling the napalm. Even the most blinded are realizing that you can’t continually call people names just to hide the truth. The shell game can’t fool everyone forever.

Professor did you support our efforts in Afghanistan?

MFord give it a break. We have already accomplished what Mr. Bush wanted to do. WMDS and Hussien. He never mentioned playing referee in a civil war. So where the Fuck is the real criminal A.K.A that no talent ass clown Bin laden.

Professor. Serve? I’m an Air Force Pilot. You sit behind the computer pal. I’ll be thinking about you when I’m flying into Balad Air Base next week. This aint no lie.

And by the way (because I know what you’re thinking) just because I serve doesn’t mean I automatically agree with everything Bush.

All conservatives should be rounded up and executed.

Great Chris, then we have something in common, only decades apart. Do yourself a favor and quit being a drone. The men who serve are always the heroes. The people who place them in harm’s way usually aren’t. That this regime would dare call those who dissent as being anti-American or anti-the troops should put things in clear perspective for you and your brothers. The very right to disagree is what the nation was built upon. Someone ought to remind the cowards who pull the strings to read The Constitution.

MFord, NOW you’re talking. I’m amazed that you brought up Afghanistan, where the real perps behind 9/11 were only hours away from capture. Tell me, genius, why weren’t the Rangers allowed to finish the job? Why didn’t they get the go-ahead from the moron in charge?

While you’re contemplating, why not reflect back on what Paul O’Neill has said about Bush and his staff. From the get-go, Bush wanted something–anything–to act as a trigger to invade Iraq. The man was obsessed with toppling Saddam. 9/11 –however illusionary where the reasoning was concerned–gave Bush his reason to march in, much to O’Neill’s chagrin. And O’Neill ain’t no “liberal”, pal. He was one of your boys until he realized who he was in with.

Great reason to invade, bud. How noble of Bush, under the guise of “fighting terrorism.” And you’d have us now believe we are “preventing” civil war and promoting stability? Do you believe your own comments?

So it is clear then, that in your estimation the War on Islamic Terror begins and ends in Afghanistan, specifically with the few people who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. In other words, play defense against those who attack us. I roundly disagree with you. The war on terror is far more complex and comprehensive than you would like to make it, with comprehensive being the key word. What exists in the Middle East and has caused the murder that we have unfortunately had to endure is a lack of hope among its ordinary citizens. That lack of hope is a direct result of living under tyrannical rule of despots such as The Taliban, Saddam Hussein, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and just about any other ruler in the Middle East. Just as the war on terror did not and should not end in Afghanistan, I know that it certainly will not end in Iraq. There are certainly cultural, political, and religious differences in place throughout the Middle East, but the one thing they have in common for the most part is a hatred of the West. The simple debate we are thus faced with is this: do we continue to play defense or do we play offense? The answer cannot be any more clear.

O’Reilly is paying people to make negative comments about Olbermann.

I’m glad Keith sits with his back to the wall! It is obvious from some of the comments of right-wing goons on this blog that they are in step with the tactics that their fellow right wingers (neo-cons, Nazis, Klansmen, etc.) have traditionally used against those who disagree with them.

Their hold on truth is so tenuous that they can’t tolerate any challenge to their worldview. So if you challenge them, first they sneer at you, then they call names and try to shout you down, then they try character assasination (as they did with Bill Clinton or John Kerry and lots of others) and finally they harm you physically. Denver liberal talker Alan Berg’s 1984 murder by Neo-Nazis is the ultimate example of the right winger’s penchant for silencing disagreement by any means.

The phrase “liberal debate tactics” struck me as funny. As a former high school and college debater i thought i might contribute what i discearn to be the Top 3 Conservative Deabte Tactics:
1. Lie. This includes obfuscations (zang!), errors of omission, outright fabrications, reliance on statistics and/or polling numbers generated by right-wing “think tanks” whose methods of study oftentimes fall well short of using a library card much less qualify as “scientific” and clever word-games that keep the stupid rubes fooled for a news cycle or two.
2. Strident repetition of the RNC/Bush administration talking points as though they were the “Our Father” prayer and you were moments from being walked out in front of a firing squad.
3. Spin. I use this term generously considering that the average six year old has a better grasp on image-control, public perception and media relations than the automatons currently occupying the White House.
The lesson of this one is; when stuck at the counter at 31 Flavors in the throes of indesicion, find a republican to help you choose a flavor you can feel good about. When in need of goverance or real leadership, find actual thinking beings in posession of intellectual curiosity and executive skills and they will give you a government you can feel good about irrespective of thier party or yours.

Republicans have demonstrated that despite thier tough rhetoric (on any given topic) they are a bunch of terrified rich kids who are in way over thier heads.

Say what you like about Olberman, but his arguments have merit. The Republican reaction to said arguments is meritless because it is only as i said, a reaction. They won’t advance the debate. They won’t introduce new information. They will address nothing of substance or context. They will only attempt to redirect the fickle attentions of the news cycle by impuning thier opponents patriotism (or some such shit) in a desperate attempt to, like a man with Whiskey Dick, keep it hard for just a moment more.

Alright. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that “Ex-GOP” was never GOP at all…………and “In the middle” votes democratic. Honestly fellas, “Ex-GOP” and “In the middle” are leftists. Nothing wrong with that, just don’t lie about your leanings to make your point.

Professor. You use a word like “regime” to describe our govt, “cowards” concerning our current administration, and call me a “drone.” The truth is YOU’RE A DISCRUNTLED OLD MAN WITH A LARGE CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER. Get over it. You’re too far gone. “The very right to disagree is what the nation was built upon.” Thanks for those OBVIOUS words of wisdom. I can only hope that DECADES FROM NOW, I’M NOT SPENDING TIME ON ROLLINGSTONE.COM POSTING COMMENTS LIKE PROFESSOR. That would be sad.

Honostly I am in the middle, nice going out on a limb Bodi. I can’t speak for ex-Gop but I truly believe myself to be in the middle. I voted for a Republican governor here in Illinois this past year and voted for Kerry in ‘04. I watch both O’Reilly and Olbermann in an attempt to get both sides. After all I wrote the only response you have is don’t lie your lefty truly shows that you missed the point and fall in line with most right wing thinking. Again why can’t you be in the middle it’s one or the other. I feel the majority of Republicans play too dirty and the Democrats are complete push overs. Stop labeling people left or right and take what they say at face value. At the very least you can say my response has been the most in the middle than the rest.

The Democrats are not pushovers and the right doesn’t play “too dirty.” The reason you get an echo chamber of critisism about Democrat candidates and no critisism about Republican ones is that the media is owned by corporations who have a monetary stake in a business allied person being elected. Traditionally the business/deregulation guys have been republican. Hence your views.

MSNBC is my network of choice. I am a pretty liberal guy, but I enjoy watching conservative pundints on MSNBC such as Joe Scarborough, and on occasion Pat Buchannon and Tucker Carlson, so I can get the other sides LEVEL-HEADED opinion, something you will never get from the FOX noise channel.

The Republican Party has had control of the White House for 6 years, the House for 12, Senate for 4(I believe) and for quite a while has had a Republican appointed majority in the Supreme Court. Look at where the country is today. The current incarnation of the Republican Party has moved so far away from the values and ideas that swept them to power in the 90’s, such as limitations to the governments powers with warrantless wiretapping, fiscal responsibility with the massive tax cuts in time of war and uncontrolled spending, and states rights with the terry schivo incident. The only thing they seem to care about today is cutting taxes for the rich, easing vital government regulations so businesses can make more money by taking shortcuts that will eventually screw the common man, and rilling up the religious right on non-vital issues so they can continue to rape the real american ideas and values. By the way, does anyone else notice the lack of effort by the Republican party on the abortion issue?

Keith Olbermann is my favorate pundint because he seems to grip the idea that the only thing that can truely destroy America is from within. If we abandon what the brave men and women who fought and died for, then the terrorist do win. The blood of the soldier cries out to us from the grave. Honor them by fighting for your rights against those who threaten them.

Blueblooddonkey. Look where the country is today?

-taxes at an 20 year low
-unemployment at 25 year low
-federal tax revenues at an all time high
-stock market at all time high
-inflation in check, at a 20 year low
-not a single terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 911
-Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced
In years, if he’s alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda’s top dogs are either
Dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel.
-MIDDLE CLASS income rising at highest rate in decades
-federal deficit cut in half ahead of schedule

The democrats promise a new direction for America? What does that mean? Yea, Iraq has been tough but but in the big picture, despite 911 and a war, the country as a whole is doing quite well.

I would just like to point out that unemployment statistics don’t include those whose benefits ran out or were’nt eligible to recieve them…A lot of those people still don’t have jobs….but they sure do help with goverment propaganda!!!

Ex-GOP’s comments regarding how the right deals with people or groups that disagree with their views are interesting. Especially in light of how the far left has been dealing with those they don’t agree with. Afterall it was the far left that came to Hillary Clinton’s press conference and shouted her down due to her initial support for the Iraq War; it was the far left that shouted down and attacked the speakers from the Minute Men at an Indiana Protest as well as at a speaking engagement at Columbia university; it was the far left that spray painted the steps of the Capitol during the most recent anti-war rally and vandalized the Fox News van.
I will cede that it is far right wackjobs that open fire on abortion clinics. But the fact is, both sides do underhanded shit to those that disagree with them. But let’s try to be open and honest when addressing these, because the right is no better or worse when it comes to attacks verbally or physically. Get your facts straight Ex-GOP.

Jason X, what a very well eloquent and well thought out comment you made. How long did it take you to come up with that one? You must be an Ivy League man. The only problem is liberals don’t believe in capital punishment, so good luck floating that one, sport.

Hmmm, Hallzee, “Nobody cares about Olbermann”.

O.K.-lots of comments, for “not caring”…

The Liberals have Quality while the Repulicans have Quantity(limitiless array of Goons like O’Reilly who puts his big foot in his big mouth on a constant basis.

On Oprah, with his Rant on “Child Predators” and, the recent clips of “Brightstuff” going after the victims/pages(remember the Foley Scandal or, the teen who had been kidnapped years ago and finally escaped?)

O’Really(?)c laime d he “was having too much fun where he was”, with a guy who raped him and abused him.

How could anyone with even moderate intelligence watch this fool without getting physically sick?

He is nothing but a Con who makes lewd gestures and suggestions to female employees and, looks like a nerdy Martin Short character on old SNLS…

Olbermann is smart, pensive, uses facts and not FOX Fables to attract large audiences…He is well-versed on the news material he presents and, his professionalism is evident…

Hey Marie Antoinnette, did you see the Colbert Report when O’really was on it and Colbert indirectly called him a sexual predator? I bet that even went past Bill’s head. Bill was putting down Jon Stewart and Colbert goes ‘Oh yea,that guy’s a sexual predator.’ We that watch the show know he was really kicking O’reilley in the nutz about his own audio bites past.

Hey, Jed-

Yea, I “caught O’Reilly” on Colbert-Steven spun circles around the pompous dude and don’t think the FOX jester-politico got that he was the butt of the jokes…

Colbert and Stewart Rule…..

“Colbert-Steven”
sorry Let Them Eat Cake
I am a huge Colbert fan, and it is Stephen Colbert not Steven.

Oh, Cole!

Sorry some of us are into “Content” while others are Busy looking for Spelling Errors…

Maybe that’s why Conservatives never seem to Get The Political Message-they are too busy doing “Spell-Checks”…

Stephan has lots of Fans…

Sit and watch the Crawl on CNN/MSNBC-that should provide ‘ya with lots of entertainment, too!(Just keep your cell and pen and paper ready-you can obsess for hours and let ‘em knowm the er, error of their ways, too)…

Hey, maybe you can do an “American Idol” Spelling-Bee show…(There is always room for more “Reality T.V.)

Toodles

“Olbermann never made it out of the studio to cover Katrina”- his commentary was Good/Insightful/Honest(Couric is way less than -she is too much a Bush/Republican-lap dog and, don’t care how Wet she got-her coverage was not a shinning moment in journalism…(Was she even reporting then? or in-between her NBC/CBS Transfer?

Aaron Brown(CNN)was axed by the White House influence that dilutes real news being presented!

His coverage was great and he didn’t leave the studio, either but, he managed to challenge viewers to look for the real Body Count(We know it amounts to several thousand plus the twelve hundred the Bush people issued the news services)…

Brown included the ineptness in handling post Katrina, Unexplainable delay that was Bush, and, lost his Spot to Cooper…(Brown’s ratings were good-so don’t give us the Lame Conservative Cop-Out-totally bogus)…

“Chrism”

Think you are projecting! it’s O’Reilly who seems to have Deep Psychological Disturbances-can’t seem to Ever get the Facts but he’s big on Hot Air-and his ratings are sinking and who knows how many mindless sheep follow all his B.S…..

Cole/CcO

Now i’m playin with ‘ya-Is It Stephen, or is it Stephan or, Steven???

Is it Olbermann, Olberman or Olberrman?

Hard-hitting issues, they are, facing us!

Is it Drudge or Sludge or Smudge?
Same difference……..Repubelican Fudge…Whoops, is that Republican?

Do you get Brownie Points from Bushkins when you get it spelled “Right”?

Spell-Off, now!

Does it count if O’Reilly has more viewers but terminally naive-so subtract three-forths of Bill’s audience…

Thoughtless Sheep Should Not Count.

Why are you involving me Cake? My last post on this article was from 2/23.

Bodi: “Olberman is farther left than O’reily is right.”

You are fucking retarded. Olberman isn’t even “left wing”…

-

Word
Try to hear me out for a second here man. You feel the same way about Olbermann as many people feel about O’Reily, only that O’Reily is percieved as right wing . For objectivity’s sake, realize that you are being subjective (which is understandable) when it comes to putting O’Reily in with the Republicans. He does share a lot of tradionalist/conservative beliefs but he also takes liberal views on a lot of important issues and has given Bush and Rumsfeld a hard time on Iraq. Because Olbermann shares many of the same views as you, you are naturally going to think of him as an more center figure. And I don’t really know how left Olbermann is because I don’t know anything about his views other than Iraq (which he takes a far left opinion on). I will not label him for that reason. With that, I ask you not label O’Reily when you really don’t know how he stands on various issues. That’s fair, right?

“For objectivity’s sake, realize that you are being subjective “

(First of all Olberman doesn’t share any views with me because I have never heard Olberman’s views on unions, WTO protests, minimum wage, etc…)

Second, the whole media is subjective. Absent science there has never been an objective viewpoint from any human being on this earth. That said the media is like every other profession: people try to be as fair as possible. Far right wing people naturally don’t believe a centrist media is giving them fair coverage because the media is by definition centrist. The same could be said of far left people but the dirty truth no one wants you to hear is that there is no far left in America. If there was you would hear the same amount of time given to communism as you would capitalism. Instead of advertisments on t.v. there would be government sponsored statements about producing an excess amount of potatoes or screaming about how communal resources will save the world. These announcements do not exist because we do not live in a system anywhere near a far leftist one. Therefore, you simply cannot make the case that the media is far left. It just doesn’t fly.

You’re young but you’re probably old enough to realize that the media and political wars being fought right now are not wars from our generation (I’m in my mid 20’s). The fighting is between baby boomers, people who grew up in the 60s. These people are reliving the Vietnam war and if you read, you’ll discover most of Cheney’s ideas for expanding presidential power were revenge for the Nixon Watergate scandal and the congressional legislation following. Just as much of the ideas of the antiwar movement are descended from the 60’s Vietnam antiwar protests.

What you need to do is divorce yourself from old people bullshit and evaluate how dangerous terrorism actually is to our country and to do that, you must study terrorism. Who is a terrorist? The people who hit us on 9-11 were Al Quaeda Sunnis. Who isn’t? Shiites in Iran who have not hit us and don’t plan to.

Learning who the enemy is is essential, otherwise you will attack the wrong person and leave yourself open to attack by your real enemy.

This is why the Bush administration’s funding of Sunni terrorist organizations who are affiliated with Al Quaeda is so flawed: they are betting that Al Quaeda (who attacked us) isn’t as dangerous as Iran (who didn’t).

This kind of information cuts through politics or subjectivity (or should) and raises alarm bells for our nation: just who are we fighting for? Why? If we are funding the terrorists who attacked us on 9-11,who are we really protecting? Funding Al Quaeda will leave us open to another 9-11! Could Bush want that?

These are the questions that should be preoccupying your mind. Not questions the corporate controlled media throws at you. You have one life man, you owe it to yourself to seek out the truth.

Word is a joke. He’s one of those guys who thinks the media leans republican.

Also,

Bodi is a traitor for supporting an administration that is funding Al Quaeda. Have fun fucking yourself Ru Paul.

You got nothing word

Thanks for a brilliant article about one of the few honest newscasters not intimidated by the talking points or talking heads.

I will tivo him daily.

Love the “coverage” by the major networks on the Anti-War rallies held in major cities like D.C. and L.A. and everywhere in between.

It takes work, planning, the sacrifice of time and money to hold these rallies-the media will spend one minute or two on their Coverage of the events.

MSNBC and CNN had old reruns of “investagations”, and were Afraid to report on the real Numbers of people who showed up to Voice their Objections to the Bush administration’s “War in Iraq”…

There were hundreds of thousands at the rallies in major cities and the news said, “hundreds”-which could describe those who were there to “Support the War”…

How Scary it is for the networks to allow good coverage and give a real Count of the numbers of people that represent seventy per cent of our Nation is denouncing Bush’s “War”…

People need to phone the networks and Voice their Opinions on how shabby the “coverage” was and inaccurate the numbers were to describe the outpouring of those who are Ready for the Iraq Debacle to End…

Bring the troops home and use the billions to build up the military, provide adequate health care and benefits to those who are serving, the wounded and, those who have served…

“Trust in the Media”-Forget it…

All the exposure of Bush and his co-conspirators in crimes is treated like they broke the neighbors window…

Right-Wing Bias, Celebrity “Puff Fiction” and, local crimes seem to be all the television media is capable of covering…

Wha happened to the real Journalists and Anchors-they need a Courage Transfusion and Reality Jolt…

Call your networks, let them know how bad and bias their news coverage is….

Hundreds of thousands were at the Anti-War rallies-few networks showed many pictures or tape of the events….Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?(Cheney/Oil/Bush/Rove/Pha rmaceutical sponsers)…………OOOOOOOOS cary, hmm?
MSNBC,CNN,CBS,ABC and, of course, FOX….

There were not hundreds of thousands of people at any rallies anywhere in this country yet. Don’t exagerate. You can say that there should have been more media coverage but there weren’t hundreds of thousands of people at any of these rallies. The only people that say that are the radicals who participated in the rallies and the organizers who try and inflate their numbers. 10,000 tops is a lot different than 200,000 or 400,000 people.

There have been over a hundred-thousand of anti-war people at various rallies around the country-New York being one of them-check your Numbers, Ace….

When seventy per cent of the Country polled on the side of “End this ‘Bush war’, it is No Big Leap when the Peace/Anit-War Rallies bring out huge numbers of people…

“Chris”

Don’t make a statement denouncing someone’s numbers(You might be mistaken for O’Reilly) re. numbers at anti-war(Iraq) rallies…

No, Chris there weren’t 100,000 in New York there weren’t 10,000 in New York, there were 500,000″, “Chris. On January 18, 2003, there were 500,000 anti-Iraq war protestors in D.C., 200,000 in San Francisco and millions in othere cities here and around the world…

Lots more stats, “Chris” so be very afraid, you ain’t seen nothin, yet, guy!

Don’t underestimate the Bush Press to Cover It Up and give it little Press…

But, Chris, don’t Underestimate the Will and Spirit of the American people to Fight the Lies and Fascism of the Bush Neo-Cons…

Think you Conservatives like to cook the books-check google-(DISCOVERTHEN ETWOR KS.OR G
Group Profile, A Guide to the Political Left)…

Oh, Yea! Thought everyone remembered the Massive Rally in New York in 2003…Tell me, now, Chris, about your “10,000″ and look at the latest stats on the Rallys, Chris(Here’s a Tip-Don’t Go to Fox for your Info, babe)!

And your false statement, “there have never been more than ten thousand at any anti-war rally” needs some education and checking your Faux “Facts”.

Even I can remember the vast numbers that filled street after street in New York City…

And, Olbermann Rocks…

I’m Enjoying This, Immensely!

“Keith has far-left” views on the “War in Iraq”….That is Funny!

Since seventy percent of the Country views the “Bush War For Oil-Control and Monopoly and Personal Profiteering, as Illicit, idiocy, igniting terrorism from all over the World, obscence in the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis’ who have died and the three thousand troops America has lost fighting a war for Greedy/Corrupt Oil Tycoons and an Insane Republican “President” and his Co-President of Vice…

The deferment Kings need to be made to fill in for our troops-the
“war” would be over in thirty seconds with Cheney and Bush’s White Flag of Surrender Flying….

“Far-Left”-we are so pushed into Fascist Land, the “Left” hasn’t been visable for years, Roger Republican…

keith oberman, he is a dumb ass and a sorry ass reporter.

To Olbermann,
“Let Them Eat Cake In LAST PLACE!”. Olbermann was an idiot sportscaster who gor fired bt ESPN and now can’t even get out of LAST Place in the cable news arean!

LET HIM EAT CAKE!

can one conservative get their facts right? zeeman…ur stupid. u really r. he didnt get fired…he quit. i can’t beleive i just read every single commment. on either side u guys have ur flaws…join the green party for a change! Wheeeew! Gore. (maybe Jeb will change the results again…he’s probally the only conservative thats not running)and most of u guys cant spell his name right either! theres 2 n’s. hooked on phonics i see.

CNN and MSNBC, the most accurate and factual news programs. Olberman rocks, he actualy cares about what he talks about.

ymavg ftelkrs kudrgxmne urbco ncur rcskflihd vlncxejy

Correct or factual information from Keith Olberman? Are you kidding? This guy has been caught red handed multiple times using incorrect information skimmed from the internet as if it was a fact. Maybe you should do some searching yourself, you could make up facts too, and be just like Olberman! Maybe thats why his ratings suck.

All the Bushwackers have come out on this one!! Too Funny!!
Because Keith Olbermann, a REAL man, has everyone protesting just a little too loud, eh???

Wish you had the balls? The intelligence? The Courage?

Love to see a Real man can still push the buttons of those still trying to be!!

Wew Hoo…Keep these comments coming. You have undressed yourself, and it ain’t pretty!!!!

I am an older gentleman, in my early 60ties! I was a young man when all the JFK’s, Bobbie Kennedy’s,Martin Luther King’s etc. had a dream! Now it is the 2008 election! I thought I had found a news station that was truthful, bais and straight on! Didn’t know for awhile fox noise was all republican until I finally woke up and all the Bill O’Reilly’s Sean Hanidy’s were total –sholes! JUst happened onto Keith Obermann. Well, I finally thought I found my nitch and was happy with him and his honesty! Then there came Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama! All of a sudden Obermann became just like the rest of the journalists and got on the band wagon to bash Hillary Clinton! What a disapointment! The old saying, kick em while there down! Would he do the same if Obama was in her place! Hell no! Because the news media and the whole world are scared of what the blacks are going to say! This is America not a third world country under comuninist rule!Since when did the united states become afraid of a race or races of people! You talk about rasism in the US! PLease! Give me a break! It’s not the white that are rasists, it the people that are calling us rasists that are the rasists! So my point is Mr. Obermann has fell right in with the rest of the idiots that color blind! I won’t listen to him anymore and I am sure I am not the only one that feels that! Get a grip Keith and quit being to faced! Larry from Columbus Ohio

That older gentleman’s rant was incoherent at best.
Furthermore, his rant on race and racism reflects his age.
Also, getting angry over olbermann being critical of some of the things hillary has done is silly.
Luckily “Larry” won’t be able to voice his ignorance in the future to continue the dissolution of eternity.

Keith is my hero. He has common sense. I’m very happy to watch somebody with intelligence who can make me laugh about the news. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert do not count as real news anchors. They sure as hell should be compared to the clowns on fixed news.

I’m all for for Keith Olbermann. He’s a righteous dude. I like how he has th knack for getting under the skin of consesrvative-types just like Rush Limbaugh has that same gift for making liberal-types all cranky. I really like people who know how to foment anger and hatred. He’s so awesome.

You know, I have been watching KO for 20 years at least. I watched him on KCBS getting hammered by a mediocre Fred Rogen for years, but he used to have a little radio sports commentary where he talked about baseball cards and fantasy leagues passionately and with great affection. He was a terrific writer. And those days were the last days where he spoke to anything even remotely and consistently resembling the truth.

There are wonderful orators and writers ranging from Hitler to Wright to Jackson to Falwell. People’s whose talents can move people without making them think. Keith Olbermann’s life lies the the deep recesses of contrarianism.

He’s Albert Brooks in James L. Brooks’ Broadcast News. Not Peter Finch in Chayefsky’s Network. He’s a self-serving narcissist who only gets “mad as hell” when he’s not the smartest person in the room, not over any sort of core values.

Whether it is Letterman or Murrow, Olbermann helps himself and counterfeits their signatures nightly with little or no shame. So nonchalantly and blatantly does he lift from their “acts” I wonder if he even realizes he’s doing it. I doubt it. Pathological liars never believe they do anything wrong.

On the night Peter Jennings died of lung cancer, Olbermann, like most newsmen that day, began to speak of the legendary ABC broadcaster with a customary tribute newscasters give to their repected rivals. Literally 30 seconds into Oblermann’s so-called tribute, Keith veered towards…well, Keith. He spent the next 5 minutes talking about spitting up his own blood in his own garbage can and talked about his own brush with cancer.

And here’s the thing: his story was so poignant and so touching it actually was quite moving. What was sicker than the cancer in his mouth, though, was that he was telling HIS story on Jenning’s dime. Or grave.

That’s what kind of man Keith Olbermann comports himself to be.

Honest? I think not.

Keith Olberman has a very good show. It probaly is the best on cable. His comments on the Bush administration are very interesting. If his comments are lies I don’t see anyone making efforts to disprove them. I have to go because KO is on TV.

KO is the most arogant (as well as flat-out ignorant) human being I have ever had the dis-pleasure to listen to… Unfortunately, he is the best thing that has happened to the conservative movement…His lack of logic and ‘true’ insight, for his broadcating role, is unbelievable…For those who feel he contributes anything of substance – bless your naive and uneducated hearts.

I dont know how many of you guys are from the US.
I am not, but I can tell you what the US Media is like: Nobody is watching? Got to be boring(Nobody as in “a few”, and boring as in “it sucks”. “Get em off the air”! No offence. But you only support two partys over there. Be honest. If a programm like that would be made without the entertaining features this one posesses, only a few would watch it. Why is it so important who KO is, or whether what he is talking is abselutly true. Do you want to get rid of your lunatic president or not?
Because there is only one way and thats the democrats. What do you care about how you achieve that since there is no middle way. And probably your Keith is totally aware of that.
Humorless?
Honest?
Disho nest?
Integrety?
Who cares? There are far more important things at stake than: “Do the americans finally get a decent Tv Programm together?”
Please take care of that issue AFTER you have removed this President who will lead your country and its minions(that includes my country)back into the stone age.

Keith is in my opinion the only interstellar – like gracious newcaster i have seen on my flash internet tv screen in years. William O’reilly of Fixed noise needs to get a wake up call. Keith is worth his money even if he winds up both Geraldo and Billy boy. I wanna pass on a message to Mr MSNBC Bossman – GIVE Keith a raise on the merit for winding up Billo and cronies also that he brightens my afternoons up while working.

Wearing grown up glasses and talking in a serious voice does not cover up the fact that Keith is on the lunatic fringe, conspiracy college left. It takes a special kind of stupid to take anything he says seriously. I thought his show was a parody much like Stephen Colbert but just on the left.

Keith Olbermann, has a unique style of reporting news by playing clips of his countdown stories, and pausing the clips by interrupting to give his (comedic spin) thoughts. Interesting how most libs find Keith amusing and truthful, regardless of lacking substance and hard hitting facts, Keith is a mouthpiece to our delusional liberal/far-left retarded citizens. God save us sane people (right-wingers).

Keith Olbermann is simply a liberal version of Bill O’Reilly. Their shtick is exactly the same, just different talking points. And they both suck.

I agree with Liz R. Keith Olbermann is the only (true) lamestream media person with the guts to go after the most sick, twisted, sadistic and moronic Prez (& Company) this nation has ever seen. We’ve seen enough of the puppets Killery and Hobama go after each other. Take a peek at him at MSNBC.com and have a listen to him call the Shrub in the White House to task for “quitting the game of golf because it just wasn’t worth it anymore during a war”, etc. It’s his greatest I’ve seen so far. I have seen him angry before, but NEVER as angry as he’s gotten with the May 15th Countdown re the above. To top it off, he caught Shrub in a lie as he was caught golfing two months after making the remark that he quit. Keith always calls him sir” tho you know from the tone in his voice he spits it out every time he says it. I say bravo to him and I hope he keeps it up while we still have the freedom left to be able to listen to someone who has the guts to tell it like it really is, not like one of those phoney conservative nuts like “Bill-O” on Fux News who rants just to hear his own voice.

Olbermann is the only leader this country has that warning us about the death of our wonderful constitution. Thank god for Keith Olbermann

Having an open mind sometimes creates a skitzoid experience of the world. I was once a conservative, Regan Republican. I listened to and usually agreed with Rush. Then I began to notice the duplicity within our Republican leadership. I never trusted George Bush because his dad was the head of the CIA. Do you actually believe that someone rises to a position like that by being an upstanding guy with integrity?

Anyway, nowadays I think Olbermann is a flat out hero. Sometimes I want to jump up on my chair and give him a standing ovation for nailing the topic so well and stating it with such impassioned enthusiasm.

I highly recommend looking up on YouTube: Keith Olbermann Bush Shut Up. It’s knock your socks off good.

And I know there are people out there who will want to call me an idiot. Please… save your breath. I’m just a guy, doing the best he knows how, to make sense out of this crazy, f’ed up, upside-down, and backwards world. If you’re so smart you wouldn’t run around calling strangers idiots.

You can tell a lot more about a man/woman by what he says about others than by what others say about him.

I was looking forward to hearing the 5th rant, but someone at You Tube has censured it (both parts 1 and 2). I would like to know who pulled it.

Once I watched Olbermann and he had no real show, so he came on with his “ax murderer” personality and most of his time was spent telling the viewers about mistakes he thinks Bil O’Reilly makes….Oh wait, I just found out, that’s all he does on every show.

Once I watched Olbermann, and I guess he really didn’t have much of a show that day because he put on this “ax murderer” personality and spent all of his time telling the viewers about mistakes that he felt Bill O’Reilly makes…..Oh wait, I just found out he does that every show…never mind.

(sorry about the double post, pc stalled the first try)

I cannot believe that anybody would actually listen to this guy. He was a sportscaster, a pretty poor one, and now he is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the liberal left. His arguments have no logic.

At least K.O. is passionate about what he does. That’s what is most admirable, in a person of any profession. As President Lincoln said, “Whatever you are, be a good one.” You may not agree with everything he says or perhaps how he says it, but he tells it as he sees it (says it pretty darn well too) and that’s the reason to listen.

OK, all you, see if you know who said this:

“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece?

“Naturally, the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatiorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship….voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they’re being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.”

If you look at this for what it says, and describes, you’ll see that it is EXACTLY what Bush and Cheney have done here in America.

If you don’t know who said this, you are following the same path as millions of others in nations that no longer exist, who once had liberty and freedom…and who now are sorry they listened to the criminals who led them into wars and the chaos, repression and poverty that followed.

“Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.”
Benjamin Franklin

So, who was it that said this??

Hermann Goering. At his Nuremburg trial, 1946.

Be afraid, people, of Bush and his Nazis.

Be very afraid.

Olbermann is probably the very last guy with the testicular fortitude to stand up to this bunch of criminals in the Bush administration, and tell us what they’re doing…i.e., pissing on the Constitution, warring for profit, etc.

You’d best listen while there’s still the right for someone like him to speak…before Bush and his cronies contort the laws to silence critics and free speech.

WAKE THE HELL UP.

Keith is the only person with the guts to stand up against the tyranny of the current administration. We all know that everything on TV is indirectly controlled by rightwingnut cronies and KO presents the side you don’t hear because Americans want to believe things are fine when our rights are being taken away, shame on US, you go KO!

Olbermann is a tool

Keith Olberman is a an absolute disgrace to TV journalism…he is cynical, arrogant, and narcissistic..all of his statements are filled with ambiguities that have absolutely no relevance to the truth !! That would be forgivable were he to be entertaining in other ways, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth !

I am with Oba-man, Standing O and the others on him. Olbermann is rare and honest and straight and that is why a lot of the folks dont like him. Doesnt matter whether he is left or right . To me he is brave and vocal. We need more like him in America now.

Keith just signed for $4M per year with MSNBC for saying the things he says. He would not be the first one taking $ to be an idiot. I used to like Keith years ago as a local sportscaster, now I am shocked at the idiotic things he says. Shame on MSNBC for paying for this shameful deceitful accuser and slanderer.

Keith O and Rachel Maddow were on MSNBC discussing Sarah Palin’s religion on 9/8/08.

It was almost shocking to listen to them and watch them as they mocked her for being a Christian. I could not beleive that anyone on an NBC affiliate would oenly display their hatred of Christianity.

Keith O is not a journalist and not even a good political commentator.

He should be booted not for his poor ratings but for his religious intolerance.

I was in LA when he was a mono-browed wimpy sportscaster. I moved away thinking… well, at least I don’t have to watch K.O. do sports. He then went national with EPSN. Great ! I can’t escape. Then he went MSNBC on me. Somebondy just shoot me.

He wouldn’t be a total idiot if he would just – FOR ONCE – say something good about Bush, McCain, or Palin. Just one little positive note would be nice. He’s just too one sided and predictable.

Keith Oberman is one more ranting liberal that can’t think on his own two feet unless his hippie friends are telling him his opinion….why don’t any of you think for yourselves? Just once?
It’s a broken record nothing new.
BORING!

As a moderate and an independent, I decided to switch between the cable networks to watch the convention coverage.

I was leaning toward Senator Obama Watching Olbermann and Mathews coverage of the Republican Convention changed that quickly. These two guys are not newsmen, they aren’t journalists, they are tools. Especially Olbermann. The guy is a pompous, ignorant blowhard.

Iv’e never seen such anger and dripping hate spew from anyone.

When Brokaw retired, and Russert passed away, America saw the end of any semblance of objectivity in news reporting.

MSNBC should be ashamed to leave Olbermann on the air. he makes Rush Libaugh look like a statesman.

All of the hateful comments over Keith Olbermann’s show are coming from a bunch of Limbaugh loving ditto-heads who can’t handle the truth. Ditto-heads wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on their a**. Thank God Keith is around to let us know what’s really going on. THANK YOU KEITH!!!

Discussions like these are what makes factions so scary. The truth is the truth whether it is coming from the lefty Keith Olbermann or the right. It just so happens 9 out of 10 times the left often cites facts to support its rants, while right wingers rely on empty rhetoric, and play on the fears and prejudices of Americans. Should it matter whether or not K.O. “sucks” on his show?!? NOOO! What those watching, no matter what side of the aisle you support, should criticize are the claims he’s making, i.e. the scaling down and in some cases total eradication of American civil liberties and the failed “intelligence” on Iraq is what we should be questioning…We should be investigating and debating on the legitimacy of this information, not whether some tv host is doing a good job! America wake up and for once in our recent years,let’s focus on the real issues that affect our lives!!!!

I am a political moderate and independent. Keith has ruined MSNBC at night for me and thanks to him I stopped watching their debate coverage. Thank goodness for Morning Joe or I wouldn’t watch it anymore. I have no doubt he is an embarrassment to his colleagues. I wonder why Joe Scarborough never has him or his protege, R. Maddow, on his show. Hmmm.

I can’t believe this guy- how is he still on television??? Keith’s coverage adds no value to our actual national discussions and he’s a piss poor excuse for a journalist esp when you consider people like Tim Russert who used his job to INFORM people and let them make their own decisions. MSNBC needs to start realizing how much Keith has hurt their reputation. As an Independant, he disgusts me.

Wow! Most of you people on here are insane. Im canadian, who lives in the states, and for the life of me cant figure you people out. People cant handle the truth. Thats scary, thats whats wrong with this society. Sure Keith is loud and obnoxious. But he’s honest. He tells it like it is. Are any of you people trying to tell me that o’reilly and hannity are honest? These guys are a joke. They are whats wrong with this country. Deceitful, raging, embarassing human beings. I can’t even begin to describe my disdain for these 2 mutants. Keep up the great work Keith!

Wow you people are out of touch.. Im a canadian living in the states. Keith Olbermann tells it like it is. He may come across as a blowhard, but hes honest. That is whats wrong with this society. People are scared of honesty. Everyone listens to decietful, lying, humans like bill o, and sean hannity. Those 2 are embarassing. How can anyone watch those guys? i cant for the life of me figure that out. Keith Olbermann runs those guys over. He says the things that most people think. God, bill oreilly? Are you kidding me!! Keith you keep doing what your doing! You’re a pleasure to watch!

Please, sir, can I have some more?

I am an Independent and I for one think Keith and Rachel is awesome. It takes great courage to stand up and air your beliefs regardless of what others may say or think. In regards to the Palin religion tantrum from Keith and Rachel…Lets not forget it was she and her church/priest/speaker who had issues with religions outside Christianity first. Quite frankly I would think the whole”Love thy Neighbor” would fall into meaning other religions…Unless of course your Sarah “The Hypocrite” Palin. If you preach one thing I suggest you live it..not act it out for the public for the vote.

OLBERMAN IS THE CLOSEST PERSON IN THE MEDIA,WILLING TO CALL IN TO QUESTION,THE PRESUMED MORAL RIGHT,
OF THE RIGHT WING,TO DENY ANY ONE
WITH CONTRIDICTRY VIEWS AMERICAN
NATIONALITY

I can only think of a few people that I seriously despise more than OlberHACK. And that’s on one hand!

Keith is great! You would never see or hear any critisim on Fox about McCain or Palin. As an independent I like to be informed good and bad about the candidates. Smear tatics leave a bad taste and connects the dots to Bush. Thank God we have Keith! You dont have to take him for his word but do research and you will find he is right. People need to wake up and realize our Democracy is being stolen. Our election votes have been stolen last time and are at a even greater risk this time. It’s time independents and democrats stand up and be counted!

Hey Keith,

How about is Biden smarter than a third grader? That 3 letter word JOBS, 57 states in the United States. Look at both sides. You’re the Jerry Springer of the “News”

This is why we can’t help ourselves. Americans can’t agree with each other and once they disagree they start to kill the messenger rather than attack the message . its easier for people to use this attack because rather than agreeing with one guy they are really attacking a whole ideology. And since most people believe what they hear from a conservative (if they are conservative) and they believe a liberal (if they are a liberal) without doing any of the research too find the truth, It must be convenient for them as they live in their bubbles.

Keith is the anti-oreilly and for that i am forever grateful. not to mention that hes slowly creeping up on bill-o the clowns coveted 25-50 viewer demographic… this time next year MSNBC will be the most watched prime cable network in prime time… mark my words

Keith should thank God for the freedom this great country has afforded him that allows him to continue to be such a jerk. Our soldiers fighting for freedom that allows a moron such as Keith to rant and rave. God Bless America.

Keith plays the role of outrage very well because he really is outraged at the facist war machine running America, and so is anyone else with a conscience, when the rest of you nazi, zombies and morons finally wake up, the world will be a better place. Vote Obama its your last chance America!

I think Keith Olbermann is the BEST most HONEST of all the News Shows Ever!
Keep up the Great Work Keith !!!

Me likey keith!

Come on KO is Not Fair or Balanced today he his show is about people who’s 15 min of fame are up he’s got Palin, Joe the Plumber that Hooker that ruined that scumbag GOV of NY and some other conservate lady.

Ko is a scum bag that desvered to be Gang raped in Prison and then be forced to talk about his experience on Air.

I am a lifelong Moderate Democrat who voted for Obama but I have to say Keith Olberman is the Left Wing Rush Limbaugh. I can’t stand either of them. Keith should go back to ESPN and Rush should go back to being a DJ.

Keith Olbermann is an eloquent and thoughtful observer of our political climate. His editorials are heartfelt and sincere and whether you agree (I freely admit that more often than not I do) or not, they are thought provoking. Now more than ever our Constitution and Bill of Rights need need a watchdog and a voice. As Samuel Clemens put it, “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.”

Olbermann is the voice I listened for as the 2008 presidential campaign grew increasingly bizarre and unreal with each passing day. It was Olbermann who cut through the fog nightly; it was Olbermann who told us “pay no atention to the man behind the curtain.” for that, he has earned a life-long fan.

Will always be grateful that I found/started watching Olbermann in June before the presidential election. Because: 1) Olbermann was the only news guy to call liars “liars” and I really wanted someone to acknowledge that reality does exist and that even I have a MEMORY SPAN OF THREE DAYS. (Bush crediting McCain with passing the GI VETS bill, when McCain actually fought against it.)
2)now that the election is OVER, people will see Olbermann will go after the new administration, too. (When it warrents it, and when Obama is ACTUALLY THE PRESIDENT.)
3)MSNBC just gave Olbermann a 3.7 mil year raise that he deserved. (Guess now you’lll have to drop the “ratings” and “he’s not worth it” rants. No? You’re right, MSNBC did it just to be nice. ‘Cause he gets picked on all the time.)
4) Olbermann is informed, passionate and funny.

And I do so like that.

Keith is the worst dickhead in the world!

Olberman should have been a puppeteer. He constantly has puppets on his show.keith shapes his questions to elicit the response he wants. And the empty headed puppets give him the answer. Certainly not a thought provoking show. More like a comedy. Lately it’s becaome “The Obama Comedy Hour”, hosted by Keith himself.

Keith you need some new material because Bill O’ is wiping the floor with you in the ratings..Or can’t your puppets handle anything new.

Keith Olbermann did an “Eight Minutes” of President Bush’s presidency. I’m doing a one second of Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC career; “Stupid.”

Although I can’t agree with Olbermann on one single thing, he has his place and right to do what he does.

What concerns me is his association with NBC news. That only cheapens the network and makes them less credible.

Let him get sponsors for his own gig, then I would respect him more.

the first few times i watched his show, i didnt know if it was supposed to be like a parody show like the daily show or if he was trying to be for real..Then i realized he is an idiot, who has idiots on his show, who he asks skewed questions to get the answer he wants. His best tactic is to attack Bill O’reilly (real professional journalism) oh well numbers don’t lie!!! Bill is at the top, and is the rush limbaugh of liberals, he has never even once had an unbias broadcast. He also seems to be very good at taking comments out of context…You Keith should put yourself on for Worse person in the world, or at least, worst anchorman.

and for the o’reilly haters…i think he is a best selling author and has the top rated program on television..olbermann..not so much. He got fired from ESPN.

Wow. How clever can someone be? Countdown is an outlet for idiots to frame republicans as stupid, “Square” and corrupt. Bailout coverage? All you have to talk about is millions of misdirected funds of the bank bailout? Seriously? Lets call our buddies and smirk as we ask questions like, “Did Bristol Palin make a freudian slip when she said choice? He he!” Gee, If only her mom would have raised her to abort that baby! Stupid morals!

Wow! I didn’t know that “Worser” is a word?

“His best tactic is to attack Bill O’reilly (real professional journalism) oh well numbers don’t lie!!! Bill is at the top, and is the rush limbaugh of liberals, he has never even once had an unbias broadcast.”

Well written Kyle. Exactly what I would expect from someone who thinks Bill O reflects real professoinal journalism.

I must admit, I’m not sure if you’re saying that: Bill O the clown is a liberal, that Bill O is as big a liar as Rush, or that because Bill O’Reilly has more idiots watching his broadcast than KO makes what he says true. But, on the whole extremely well thought out. You make such a great case for your point that you’ve changed my mind, and I’m sure all Democrats will soon follow.

Don’t you just love the internet? Any person able to hear can soak up drivel without giving it a moment’s thought then head to their computer to vomit it back as if it was Holy Scripture. Still without spending one second to test whether the arguements hold water. Yay!

I love KO! He really exposes who the true criminals are in this country(conservatives). People will love him or hate him since he is very opinionated, but he really knows what is best for America and should be taken seriously by liberals who want to make this a better country to live in.

Olbermann biased? of course he is biased. It’s about time the left found a strong voice; after years of Fox news one-sided diatribe about the “the left leaning press”. The toxic effusive commentary on Fox of how the left has ruined America while holding the Republican playbook, was all too much to take.

Thank you, Thank you Keith Olbermann for having the voice, conscious and poise to shine a light on the shadows of America. It is only with a free press and strong government over-site that the American community will be, enabled to grow. The low & middle income families need a voice and its Olbermann, Maddow and now Schultz.

Not to be mean,but Keith was almost foaming at the mouth bashing people the other night. I was grossed out and turned him off.

Olbermann is an ass…I heard the straw that got him fired from ESPN was being drunk and pissing out a hotel window. Regardless this guy is a class”less” act and little intelligence. Sorry Keith but if it wasn’t for Dan Patrick, you would be selling fries at McDonalds. Apologies to those who sell fries at McDonalds

The most honest in news? Yikes! In reality if he was the only one in news he’d still would come in second in that race.

Obie is the biggest moron-douchbag on the planet.

как оказалось не зря=)

I’ve tuned into this guy by accident and was jaw-dropping amazed ath the vehement hatred spewing forth from this guys douche-cavity
Oreilly is annoying, sure, and he drives me nuts with the way he constantly rudely interrupts people, but most of these talking heads do that to some degree in interviews.
If rachel maddow wasn’t a carpet muncher, they could get together and have little barry soetero’s!

KO is an idiot the was run off of espn and cbs sports. he wasn’t very good at that so why does anyone think he is any good on msnbc. I agree with don imus – KO is an idiot and the 10 to 12 people that watch him.

This nut has a constipated brain with diarrah of the mouth.

As of 20 August 2009, I thought it would be instructive to compare Keith Olberann’s coverage of the WTO protesters in Seattle with the savages currently showing the temerity to ask questions of their elected leaders about Obama’s health care plan at town hall meetings. Along the way, I found this article and this most humorous portion of a post from one Susmart that I have reprinted below, apparently opining that Keith Olbermann is a man of integrity:

“…now that the election is OVER, people will see Olbermann will go after the new administration, too. (When it warrents it, and when Obama is ACTUALLY THE PRESIDENT.)”

It hasn’t quite worked out that way, sweetheart. I guess you were just a little naive.

Keith Olbermann is but one of far too many instances where we are looking up to the wrong people in this country. Having actually been in a war, unlike Keith, who just likes to talk about wars, I’m glad I don’t have his capacity for hatred. That much hatred under those circumstances probably wouldn’t play out well.

��� ��� ������ ����� ����������, ���� �� ��� ����������

Keith makes me believe in abortion for him. He brings no ROI to his worthless network. He is a douch bag with a square spout with rusty nails on the end.

Keith Olberman is the biggest WANKER on TV. How this guy has a job is beyond me. He is the most hateful person I’v ever watched…which isn’t much, but I do try to hear both sides. It’s no wonder MSNBCs rating are so horrible. Same goes for Rolling Stone Magazine, I cancelled my subscription a long time ago….too much like Keith Olberman…too many WANKERS there too! Bunch of idiots that know nothing about US or world politics. Arnold the pig from Green Acres has more sense than Keith O. and Rolling Stone Mag.

Keith Olbermann is a breath of fresh air. All of you conservatives on here bashing Olbermann are clearly brainwashed by the seething hatred and dishonesty of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. You wouldn’t know truth and honesty if it crawled out of your rear and around to your face and said “Hey, look! I’m truth and honesty!” Maybe Keith is as brash as he is because no one has enough balls to go after the true corporate criminals and shills, and that’s the employees of Rupert Murdoch’s. Maybe he’s as brash as he is because if idiots are going to claim a liberal media bias, maybe he should be loud and harsh enough to give that notion a bit of truth. Keith Olbermann is truly wonderful and the rest of you are entitled to your opinions, however wrong you may be.

Olbermann is wonderful? LOL..yes you are entitled to your opinion however wrong YOU ARE!!!

Olbermann is an idiot

Keith Olbermann is talented and interesting. He has us thinking about things, and examining the issues as well as how the issues are handled in oh so many ways. I love him for getting us up off our apathetic, yawning sofas and out into the fray. Yay, Keith!

We like him and watch him every night.. Although he ‘rants’, it’s real, passionate and expresses a lot of frustration for many Americans…..I also have watched Bill O but really dislike him and find fox a very arrogant crew (in whole). We are ‘independents’ – and looking for some lightbulbs instead of ‘dim bulbs’…..Nice to see some steam coming out of ears…. I love people that aren’t afraid to say what they feel.

just go to Google and type in “Olbermann is a” and look athe the drop down list. It says it all.

Olberman should put himself on his worst people in america segment. Sometimes I wonder if he even listens to himself speak, any rational person would be dumbfounded by his rhetoric

The only people who likes fox news are meth heads.Why would sane people listen to the rantings of a person involve in a sex scandle or a exjunkie and drunk?Why would sane people listen to a so call news station that glorify mobs that are still fighting the civil war?Why would sane people listen to a news station that dog the president for who he was suppose to be friends with yet bring on a racist cop who lied in court a mayor who led a mob of racist cops against a black mayor who was caught in many lies and cheated on his wife and allowed the police to run roughshod on people and give a platform for a man they said helped to bring drugs into the country? Keith Olberman and msnbc is a breath of freash air.PS K O has more then once caught fox noise in a lie.

Olbermann is a coward, pure and simple. He surrounds himself with the same boring, Republican hating guests show after show, who gleefully echo whatever frivilous point he’s trying to make. I’m not a big O’Reilly or Hannity fan, they’re basically the same. But at least they have the courage to entertain opposing views. Can you imagine Olbermann inviting a guest to oppose one of his points? He would start stammering and stuttering and flopping around like a fish out of water!! He would have an epilectic convulsion! And then there are his worst persons. Always O’Reilly and Limbaugh. Never a dumocrat like that Jefferson rep from Louisiana with the freezer full of hundies.

Olbermann serves no purpose. The only people who watch him are college kids who know no better, or people like me, who hate him and feel the need to yell at him through the television because he is once again skewing the story.

So to all you Olby lovers out there, simply ask yourselves one question. If he is such a brillient “journalist”, why does he only tell one side of the story?

I will tell you why. Because he is a coward.
