USA!! USA!! :




​

[Zambero]

1. SS would choose cancer

Having remarked that a Trump presidency (and the ensuing end of civilization as we know it?) may not such a bad thing.

[Cha]

3. I figured that's why Olbermann felt the need to tweet this.

Mahalo, Zambero~

[R B Garr]

2. LMAO! That's hilarious.

She deserves that. Enough with her phony poutrage.

[Cha]

4. Of course, KO, is on board the Exciting Hillary Train!

SS doesn't have to worry about what DT will do to the country.. she has plenty of money.



Mahalo, RB~ USA!! USA!!

[R B Garr]

6. Mahalo, Cha! Yeah, SS is set, and she obviously likes to indulge herself

with her $$$$.

Nice pic of Clinton-Kaine!

[Cha]

8. It's a brilliant pic of Hillary and Tim Kaine! They're the Winners who will lead

us to Victory in the Fall!

Yeah, too bad about SS and her self-absorption to the point that KO felt the necessity to tweet the above,

[NCTraveler]

5. That's a bit harsh. Kind of called for. Nt

[Cha]

7. It's a big OUCH but apparently KO felt strongly about this.

[still_one]

9. I have no admiration for anyone who cannot see the differences between Hillary and Trump, and

Sarandon fits into that category

[Cha]

10. And that: "Trump Might Be Better for America Than Hillary Clinton"

Susan Sarandon: Trump Might Be Better for America Than Hillary Clinton

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/29/susan-sarandon-trump-might-be-better-for-america-than-hillary-clinton.html

With her smug, multi-millionaire smirk..

Thank you, still_one~

[63splitwindow]

11. She is a fucking idiot on this. nt

[still_one]

14. Don't hold back, tell me what you really think.......

I am just kidding, and I agree with your assessment entirely

[rjsquirrel]

33. Limousine Marxist

[redstateblues]

57. Good one!

[rjsquirrel]

58. I got chewed out for being mean to hippies

the last time I used that phrase! So thanks.

What else can you call someone who literally gets chauffeured around Manhattan to fashion shows and galleries and whose kids attend fancy private schools and yet who carries on and on about inequality and socialist "revolution?"

Her money ain't where her mouth is.

She's a joke.

[Mr Maru]

64. Greens love to try to bully, censor & shut down criticism

Of their goofy band of moonbats, hypocrites and weirdos.

Also; for the record, a lack of hygiene does not equal effective political protest.

[LiberalLovinLug]

95. So what is the cutoff

in income when you are required to switch to the Republican party?

I too think it's time now to stand behind the candidate that Bernie himself has endorsed. But this FR style blanket stereotyping of the Hollywood limousine liberal that isn't allowed to want social justice for those earning less than they do and that they are insincere about their beliefs is frankly a lot more elitist and ugly.

[rjsquirrel]

97. Missed my point

Last edited Sat Jul 30, 2016, 10:23 PM - Edit history (1)

Sarandon is welcome to be rich and a democrat.

But being rich while spouting lunatic imaginary revolutionary Marxist claptrap makes you a hypocrite.

Only the latter category blames most of society's problems on the existence of wealth inequality of class power. The rest of us realize that rich Americans are citing citizens too and not automatically bad for being rich.

I have nothing against rich liberals. I'm not Sarandon rich myself but I'm very well off. I just don't like hypocrites.

[LiberalLovinLug]

133. So Bernie's platform,

that Sarandon was keen to see Bernie implement, a good portion of it now adopted by Hillary, you believe is quote "lunatic imaginary Revolutionary Marxist claptrap"?
Policies that most every other Western democracy enjoys?
Wow ok

[TexasBushwhacker]

86. I suggest everyone watch the whole video

For one thing, that interiew was back in March. For another, she just said if Trump is elected, he will be so awful that it will start the revolution right away. She NEVER said Trump was "better" nor did she say she would vote for him.

[63splitwindow]

98. "he will be so awful that it will start the revolution right away"

Same thing RW scumnuts who LITERALLY want blood running in the streets want. Same thing "end time" religious zealots want. Same thing race war baiters want. In this regard, she puts herself in the same category as...

[obamanut2012]

100. Saradon just said this week she isn't voting for Hillary

And that Trump would be better as a President, and she might vote Stein.

She can go to hell.

[George II]

38. I think she can see the differences, but selfishly doesn't care.

[Cha]

39. That's right.. she knows.. she just says she doesn't see it for shock value.

Dumb strategy.

SS has a protective armor of $$$$$$ surrounding her.. unlike those who might need a helping hand and Obamacare.. and who would get thrown to the wolves with "trumplethinskin" as potus.. not to mention the racist rampages against Muslims, Latinos, and anyone else who doesn't bow @ the altar of the vulgar orange shite for brains.

[relayerbob]

76. Agreed

[MADem]

113. She's just angry that she didn't "win."

She has money--she'll always be "OK" -- she can afford to be obstreperous because her fits of pique don't really matter.

For the rest of us, though, it is a BFD (to quote Joe Biden) as to who occupies the White House in the next adminstration. If it's Trump, us regular guys are fucked.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Perfect KO! Well put.

[Cha]

20. KO obviously cares about our Country And our Planet!

Mahalo, Maru~

[SunSeeker]

13. LOL

[Cha]

31. He gave her his love then proceeded to tell her exaclty what he thought

of her trump talk

[unitedwethrive]

15. Love it!

[Cha]

42. ...

Right.. what's not to love!

Mahalo, unitedwethrive

[jtuck004]

16. Two bit sports hack weighs in on accomplished actress.

Olberman went back to sports 'cause news is so hard he got dumped.

Worthless twit.

[elias7]

17. Uh, no.

Apparently you didn't watch Keith back in the day on MSNBC. He was awesome, like Edward Murrow, the only one with the guts to tell the truth about Bush. And so directly and bluntly. He led the way for the rest... Heroic...got dumped because he was so outspoken. He is a better newsman than most.

Why don't you go find some old commentaries on YouTube and see if you don't change your mind. Seriously.

[jtuck004]

21. I did watch him. And if he was good, the show would still be on. He's a hack. n/t

[Cha]

23. Just because corporate media doesn't still have him on doesn't mean KO is a "hack".

[Demsrule86]

37. It was the highest rates show not on Fox and it was awesome

But ideology trumps ratings these days in case you have not noticed. He was not a hack and is correct about Susan and those like her.

[thucythucy]

45. Bill O'Reilly and Hannity are still on the air.

Does that mean they're "good"?

Excellence in journalism does not necessarily translate into commercial success. I doubt, for instance, that very many Pulitzer Prize winners are billionaires.

[demwing]

84. What an embarrassingly uninformed post

[NastyRiffraff]

99. I could quote Sarah Silverman

in her remark about what the BernieOrBusters were being.

But I'd probably get a hide.

[jtuck004]

101. She's knows where her paycheck comes from, and is saying all the right things. Good

for her. Based on what I can see, she needs people to agree with her.

But yeah, I get what you say.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

103. I lost a lot of respect for him after his ridiculous breathless. ..

... accusations HRC was trying to get B. Obama assassinated in 2008.

I preferred Bernie this time but will be very happy with HRC.

Our candidates are always 100 times better than the repigs.

What remains is little respect for Olbermann and now Maddow.

[DLCWIdem]

129. he donated to a dem campaign. which was a big no-no withthe brass

But he actuall resigned was not fired.

[pnwmom]

18. She is an excellent actress: i.e., a great faker. Too bad she doesn't recognize Trump as

just another actor.

Because he's not at all qualified to be President; he's just barely managing to act the part.

[The Second Stone]

105. Trump has had his own TV show more recently than Sarandon has had

a busy acting career.

[Cha]

19. Keith Olbermann actually cares about America and our Planet.

[anamandujano]

25. She's accomplished at dropping her top, made a career out of it.

just saying

[stonecutter357]

27. Susan Sarandon is a disgusting person.

Pretty baby is a prime example of Susan Sarandon being a disgusting person.

[lunamagica]

30. I recently saw "Pretty Baby" for the first time

How could Sarandon approve and participate in a movie where a 12 year old is shown completely naked in several scenes?

Disgusting

[Mr Maru]

68. She probably liked it - she strikes me as that kind of sick

person. Works the same for left-wing lunatics as it does for Republicans. The higher and mightier they are about being moral, usually the uglier the skeletons are underneath.

[Justice]

29. So you agree with Sarandon?

[duncang]

35. He got "dumped"

Because he contributed $2,400 to 3 democratic candidates for congress with out approval from MSNBC. I miss his show.

[Cha]

65. That's right.. I had forgotten that. :(

[DLCWIdem]

130. no. he was able to resign. he wasn't fired.

[jcgoldie]

40. Thats ridiculous

Somehow Susan Surandon's work as an "accomplished actress" justifies her moronic political commentary comparing the Trump and Clinton campaigns, and yet Keith Olbermann's 15 year career as a political commentator does not qualify him to call her out on her foolish opinions?

[One of the 99]

52. Sarandon is a priviledged white woman

who won't suffer under a Trump presidency the way the women, minorities and the poor will.

[Stuckinthebush]

75. ^This

Ah. The luxury of being able to cast a protest vote because the consequences won't truly affect you or your loved ones. That sums up Susan's position nicely.

[Cha]

79. Rich busters, Stuck!

[Stuckinthebush]

81. Boom, Cha!

[Cha]

83. I stole it from workingclasszero.. he was talking about

Sarandon and I thought that was perfect!

[redstateblues]

59. Nah- the suits couldn't handle the truth from KO

SS is a successful actress. Fortunately for her when she acts she has memorized lines written by an intelligent person. When she speaks without a script her idiocy is on display for all to see.

[Pluvious]

70. I do not agree

KO helped many of us through the worst of the Bush years.

I finally stopped watching his show when I hit my capacity of outrage fatigue.

I've always assumed he got pushed out due to the influence and power of the many offended recipients of his expressed ire and disgust.

Such as cretin Billo-the-clown.

[Cha]

88. Yes he did! thank you, Pluvious

[Person 2713]

91. It could just be drugs or she is burned out from too much LSD . She talks a lot about drug use

And she had Timothy Leary's ashes here so most people that followed him did a lot of LSD
One or two trips sure but continued use like most drugs.....That can fry you

[jtuck004]

94. Let me see if I understand you. You suggest that she is "fried", kind of, without

coming right out and saying it. Because she is playing a part, a role, and honoring a man who tried to do something good for people.

As opposed to the sane people, at, say, the CIA, who were feeding LSD to mental patients without their consent to see what it did to them.

I think, judging by the way you choose your side, I don't want to be on yours.

[SheriffBob]

111. are you calling her an elitist?

she acts like the village idiot

[jtuck004]

121. She is an entertainer, and tries to command an audience with some uniqueness.

I prefer working with my worms to listening to most of those folks, because at least the worms give back.

It's an "eye of the beholder" thing, I think, because they certainly have their fans.

Carlin and a few aside that actually made the world of understanding a larger place, most of them don't, and are more properly the domain of randos. I'm at least trying to be too busy.

[MADem]

115. You could just as easily say "Washed up actress criticized by

political and sports pundit."

If you wanted to name call, that is.

The bottom line is that he's right and she's not on this matter.

One candidate is immeasurably worse than the other. He sees that, and she doesn't.

I'm starting to wonder if she doesn't hold some weird grudge against HRC...or her husband. Something personal, and not political. Maybe she didn't get invited to the "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" sock hop in the WH, and she's resented that since the nineties.

[joeybee12]

118. Jackpine lunatics called :they want their lame talking point back. .knr

[LenaBaby61]

22. Sarandon...

[Upthevibe]

24. Love it! Thank you KO! I also have no time for anyone who says they're the same. n/t

[treestar]

26. Good one

[Cha]

34. You know he was pissed! And, why not? It's only our Planet and its people

she so cavalierly dismisses.

[stonecutter357]

28. K&R! i love KO!

[Cha]

44. To the sagacious words of

KO!

Good Morning, stonecutter!

[riversedge]

32. Oh susy--just fade away.

[Cha]

60. KO certainly thinks she's earned herself a big helping of

STFU!

Mahalo, rivers!

[Demsrule86]

36. That is a great treat

Keith come back ...I miss you so much.

[Cha]

61. Keith Come Back!

It is nice, isn't it, Demsrule.. to see SS get called out on her shite.. by none other than Keith Olbermann!

[Demsrule86]

62. I watched every show that Keith did...taped them.

I dislike MSNBC now and rarely watch. I watched CNN for the convention or CSPAN.

[Vattel]

41. Says the pompous ass who accused Hillary of implying that she wanted Obama assassinated.

[Mellomugwump]

74. I do remember

Last edited Sat Jul 30, 2016, 05:45 PM - Edit history (1)

That MSNBC was very much pro-Obama at the time and anti-Hillary. It really bothered me at the time, because I really wanted to see Hillary get it. It's not that I didn't like Obama, I just thought it was her time and it would have been great for him to have been VP. I guess it worked out as it should have, and when Obama got the nomination, I was immediately on board, but I still can't help thinking that it would be great for her to have been Pres, and he'd be running right now, and we would still have him to look forward to, but who knows if it would have worked out that way.

[AgadorSparticus]

43. That is exactly how disconnected she and so many others are.

[oberliner]

46. Didn't Susan Sarandon's brother just die of cancer earlier this year?

If so, that is not a particularly tactful remark for Olbermann to make.

[Cha]

47. I have no idea about that.. I just know about her remarks that she doesn't

see any difference between trump and Hillary.

That's what KO was talking about.

[oberliner]

48. Understood

I just don't like the cancer analogy.

Edit to add: Having looked it up, her brother died of heart disease, not cancer.

[Cha]

50. Thank you, oberliner

[Cha]

54. Thanks, stillone.. he came back and posted

that it was from a heart condition..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2326547

[oberliner]

55. The edit was made after looking it up

Even so, I don't like the idea of using the cancer analogy.

It can be triggering for people who have lost loved ones to that disease (as so many of us have).

[still_one]

56. I know, and I do understand the repulsion for the analogy, because of the sufferring

that disease has caused so many families.

I'll self-delete my post. It was unnecessarily piling on.

Sorry

[relayerbob]

77. I lost my wife to cancer

... and he's 100% correct

[Cha]

87. ...

[relayerbob]

89. I don't mean to be flippant

The analogy to cancer is like the spread of the racist, filthy, uncaring, hate-filled mess that destroys everything in its path. I do realize that the analogy could trigger some people and I hope that doesn't happen.

[Cha]

90. I hear you.. I've had family members and friends pass on from

cancer and I didn't think anything about it.

Cancer is scary shite and so is trump.. it's a real thing.. not to be ignored.

[Zynx]

132. My mother died of cancer this April.

She thought Trump was the worst political force of her lifetime. One of her last acts was voting for Hillary in the Wisconsin primary.

[Paladin]

49. KO nails it, yet again.

Olbermann needs to be back on air with a daily political show. The sooner the better.

[DemonGoddess]

53. K&R!

[sheshe2]

63. K&R

[tallahasseedem]

66. She and Tim Robbins were HUGE

John Edwards fans! Just saying'...

[Cha]

69. I know! And, I think I know

what you're saying..

Losers! John Edwards.. did he ever turn out to be a disappointment for many. Scary how he just led everyone on.

My money was on Obama!

[TexasBushwhacker]

80. I was too, until he was outted as a lying, cheating jerk.

I remember when everyone on DU chipped in to buy Elizabeth dozens and dozens of pink roses when her cancer came back. His big priority was ending poverty. Unfortunately his little head did the thinking, just like Bill. Stupid stupid stupid. I hate that Elizabeth had to die with a broken heart.

[Mr Maru]

82. John Edwards voted for the IWR, yet got a pass. Sexist.

And hypocritical.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

67. Sarandon will buy her exit from US. She threatened in 2008, 2012, & 2016 to move to Canada. . . . nt

[MrWendel]

96. Is that a...

threat to the US or Canada?

[workinclasszero]

71. Thank you KO!

The choice is so clear a fool can see it!

Then there's Sarandon and the Busters....

[Cha]

72. Nothing like being thrown some shade by KO

via Twitter.. Gotta Love it!

Mahalo, working!

[workinclasszero]

73. Yes Cha!

[niyad]

78. how I miss KO. we need him back on the air NOW!!

[Cha]

93. That would be nice, niyad~

Mahalo

[mcar]

85. K&R

[Cha]

117. Mahlao, mcar~ We've certainly

come a long way!

[Person 2713]

92. SS will pick cancer but Hey Yeah it would be righteous cancer !

[MADem]

104. OMG--that belongs among his Greatest Hits!!!!!

[Scurrilous]

106. K & R

[redstateblues]

107. Today's "Worst Person In The World" Susan Sarandon

[Zambero]

119. She is now the leader of a movement

No, not you might have been thinking. It's the "Sarandonistas".

[sheshe2]

108. Kick!

[Lifelong Protester]

109. I'm old and don't have her money.

I wish I was rich and could be so ideologically pure, but I'm not.


Trump would be Ok? Is she nuts?

She came to speak to us in Wisconsin, in March. I was glad to have her there, but she kept complaining about how cold it was! Heck, I was there twice in February, by March it was nice! And my friends and I had stood outside for about 4-5 hours by then. That's my impression of her, could not stand Wisconsin in March. Just trotted out to say a few words to the masses, and left.

[DLCWIdem]

131. I'm from WI too and I dindn't see any up here til April. I from way up North so

They probably didn't bother to come. VERY COLD.

[Lifelong Protester]

134. She was at the capitol in March

after the famous 'tractor-cade'.

[YOHABLO]

112. I don't agree with Susan but I understand from where she's coming.

[MADem]

114. I don't. Sorry, I don't understand her at all.

It is obvious that Trump is stupid and crazy.

He is, indeed, a danger to our republic.

I'm with Mr. Khan.

[DesertRat]

116. Wow! K&R

[Cha]

122. Yeah, we've come

a long way, DesertRat!

[Jakes Progress]

120. Not just white privilege

but rich, white privilege on display from ms sarandon.

I can't agree with Obermann. I have a hard time admiring anyone whose thinking is so screwed up. Especially when such thinking leads to pain and hardship for others. Susan will stay ensconced in her rich privileged New Mexico hideaway eating bon bons and wondering why the hoi polloi can't be as perfect as she is.

[JTFrog]

123. HUGE K&R!! nt

[Cha]

124. MAHALO, JTFrog!

We've come a Long Way..

We should lol

[JTFrog]

125. Mahalo, Cha!

A long way indeed!

[Cha]

126. Another one!

[Tal Vez]

127. That's very well put.

[Cha]

128. KO is serious, Tal Vez!
