Is there anything more pathetic than attacks on Keith Olbermann?

[Seen the light]

I can think of nobody that has gone after Bush in the MSM more than Keith has. Do you Huckary supporters realize the courage he has shown in the face of RELENTLESS attacks on him by places like Fox News? Has it really been that long since Skinner was sending us private messages urging us to take a look at his Special Comments on Youtube or whatever site it was?

Now he's become Public Enemy #1 to many of you because he has had the audacity to call Senator Clinton out on the many questionable things she and those in her campaign have done? Pretty pathetic really.

[angie_love]

1. nope nothing more pathetic. Some dems here have been hannitized!

[Kittycat]

4. I don't believe those are real dems at all.

Freepers, closet pukes, etc.

[dchill]

30. Alas, some of them used to be...

real dems. Now they're just Hillarious.

[JTG of the PRB]

2. Proud to give this thread its first recommendation!

Well said! :applause:

[thewiseguy]

3. Hannity is better. He speaks the truth!

[JTG of the PRB]

10. Ha! Now THAT is funny!

:rofl:

Also, I hope you're trying to be funny. If not... Well, that just wouldn't sit right.

[Greyskye]

44. Can you be any more obvious?

Thanks, you make it easy! :thumbsup:

[QC]

5. Paul Krugman was speaking truth to Bush's power

long before Olberman decided to do his Murrow shtick, but according to quite a few DUers, Krugman is no progressive at all, and not even a real economist.

This crap is silly no matter where it comes from and who it targets.

[billbuckhead]

9. KO does work the world's largest defense contractor and arguably largest polluter

[ginnyinWI]

34. GE started going green two years ago.

They were one of the first major corporations to do so. Why? Because it makes good business sense. But they're still doing it.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4204194.stm

They also pulled all their people out of Iraq when it started going really bad after Fallujah.

[billbuckhead]

35. Are they doing anything about cleaning up all their previous pollution?

[ginnyinWI]

37. Yes but no, I don't have links. n/t

[Berry Cool]

41. And they also make wind turbines. And????

Everybody who's enployed by an institution that doesn't do anything that might possibly be shady or bad, you cast the first stone.

[papau]

28. Paul is a truth teller - and KO has been critical of him because he's critical of Obama

[jgraz]

6. A desperate, grasping candidate who will do or say anything to win an office she thinks she earned?

Just a guess...

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Yes. The crazy supporters of both candidates.

I have actually stopped giving out the web addy for DU... And am more and more grateful by the day that I am done with national elections (until we get a candidate I can proudly support) and have focused my money and time on local grassroots candidates. Hopefully, someday, they can bring our party back. I'm sorry. I don't like either. And the supporters of both can thank themselves for that. Good job.

[EFerrari]

8. No. And it's right in line with Clintonistas posting garbage

from WorldNutDaily and Michelle Malkin and wingnut "think" tanks here.

[texpatriot2004]

11. Attacking KO and putting words in his mouth...pretty pathetic. nt

[hisownpetard]

Keith is a hero, period. And a brilliant one, at that!

[Patsy Stone]

12. Olbermann's out; Hannity's in.

For those of you scoring at home, or even if you're alone, please make a note of it.

[Patsy Stone]

13. dupe

[stillcool]

14. It's an honor to be attacked...

by the Clinton supporters here. Only the best Democrats get thrown under the bus.

[anamandujano]

Yes, Olbamerman's pathetic attacks on Hillary.

[Europeanblogger]

15. Attacking Bush is no excuse for comparing Hillary's campaign to David Duke

Nor is it an excuse to link a current Bush employee to Clinton.

[jillan]

16. He is adding to the division in the Democratic party.

Try to watch him with an open mind.

[Umbram]

22. Eh...

Perhaps, you only dislike him because you are a HRC supporter. Here's your logical problem.

He was very popular here BEFORE the primaries.
NOW he's very unpopular.

Perhaps YOU should be watching with an open mind, since those of us who liked him BEFORE
the primaries have merely maintained the status quo.

[Dinger]

62. He's Sure As Hell Not Uniting Us

Good point Pirhana.

[Cha]

17. They are so over KO..now it's all hannity, o'lielly, limpbaughs,

drudge, mitt romney, any ol' body that props up their girl is aces.

[Skip Intro]

18. I would think even Obama supporters could see his bias against Hillary. I'll miss him.

But I don't think I'll be watching him any more. I get enough Hillary bashing on DU.

He was great. But his bias has overwhelmed his objectivity, and it's ugly.

[scheming daemons]

23. Perhaps his bias has a basis? Perhaps Hillary's campaign HAS been despicable?

nah.... couldn't be that.

[Sulawesi]

27. LOL, great minds

[Sulawesi]

25. Ever thinks that objectively, there might just be more negative things to say about HRCs campaign?

[papau]

33. Obama supporters think ever smear against Hillary is true - even FR postings

[walldude]

46. That's funny, I saw two wonderful slams on Obama today

and when I clicked on the links, lo and behold, one was to Michelle Malkin, the other to The American Conservative. There are over zealous people on both sides.

[Sulawesi]

19. Yes, claiming the MI primary was fair.

[EFerrari]

32. Keith was the only one on the air who reported voting machine problems

in TWENTY counties that night.

When I called the MI SOS to check the next day, sure enough. In 20 counties, machines counted uncommitted as "write in" votes.

[damndude]

20. no

he's the only proud liberal in the media that is objective enough to have fawned over clinton when she announced last year, now that he's called her on her crap you all the clinton supporters want to chain him up in a mud shack as they retreat to moscow. i respect him much. the only news cast that i actually watch and with interest. IDIOTS!

[scheming daemons]

21. Hillary supporters have all become big Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly fans in the past week.....

...they aren't interested in a truth-teller like KO anymore.

[saltpoint]

24. K.O. stands tall in a landscape of cable news miniatures.

And he was dead on target on Mrs. Clinton.

[FyurFly]

26. He is a bit of a douche

He is about as unbiased as Bill O. His anti Hillary rants has hurt his image.

[jconner27]

29. What about...

You guys went after Paul Krugman when he doubted the great Obama.

[cali]

50. bzzzt. wrongo

Most Obama supporters said that they liked and respected Krugman but disagreed with him. I'll go further than that, I like Krugman a good deal better than what I've seen of Olbermann, and granted that isn't more than 10 times or so. Nevertheless, I consider Krugman an expert and serious thinker and Olbermann more of an entertainer. Try not to stereotype, genius.

[dsc]

53. Do I really need to link those threads

I will if you insist.

[cali]

57. don't forget to link the ones that

reflect what I stated and while you're at it dear, link the threads of hillyfans savaging Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Pat Leahy and dozens of others. god, I'm sick of stupid. If you can't figure out that assholes on both sides do it, you're right there with them.

[dsc]

60. I am not saying they don't

but you pretty much did say only Clinton's side does. Krugman was savaged for daring to say Obama was wrong on health care. You know it and I know it. And let's not forget Wes Clark.

[myrna minx]

65. I have a great amount of respect for Paul Krugman, I just happen to

disagree with his choice for President.

[JBoy]

31. Keith continues to speak the truth. n/t

[GoldieAZ49]

36. Yes, watching Keith is far more pathetic

[The_Casual_Observer]

38. Sure, Keith Olbermann.

"I demand that you resign, sir!" After NOTHING happened, it was off to put an end to the Clinton campaign instead.

[kster]

39. Keith Oberman is part of the War Media he is there

to entertain us, as Dave Letterman and Jay Leno has done in the past, the REAL news has been canceled in America.

KO has no control over that, he is their pawn that makes it appear that someone is reporting "real news" to us.

Sorry my two cents... K&R...

[Berry Cool]

43. Yeah, as if Keith could ever be anybody's "pawn."

That's like calling Arnold Schwarzenegger a 98-pound weakling who gets sand kicked in his face at the beach.

[kster]

45. What has ever come of KO's "news of the day"

KO is a corporate scam along with his employers.

KO can say anything he wants about the crime family but NOTHING EVER HAPPENS, why?

Because he is a pawn for the crime family, all

to make us believe something is going down, but, IT NEVER DOES.

I may be wrong, but please prove me otherwise.

[Hissyspit]

47. That's quite a logical fallacy you've got there.

[reclinerhead]

59. It's our job to make things happen

It's not KO's job to march into the Oval Office and put the Chimp in handcuffs. His job is to inform enough people and create enough awareness that we do the job ourselves, put pressure on our local representatives, etc. What have YOU done recently?

[Berry Cool]

40. Answer: Only Dick Cheney's mailbox on Valentine's Day.

K&R

[ruggerson]

42. Let's all praise a liar!

Doesn't that feel good inside?

[Iceburg]

48. Yes -- Keith's own hypocrisy. Face it, he is the laughing stock

of all liberals (Obamabots excepted), all moderates (Obamabots excepted), all conservatives, all women (Obamabots excepted)

Keith's unaldulterated hypocrisy ...

[Blue_In_AK]

71. I don't care for Olbermann Watch

but that is pretty blatant when seen side by side like that. I haven't been watching Keith too much lately, and surprisingly I'm not suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I think I'll just get my journalism from Bill Moyers.

[FogerRox]

73. Out of context is blatant ?

[Blue_In_AK]

74. Granted, they are out-of-context statements.

However, it is undeniable that side by side, it's apparent that Keith is far more outraged by Clinton's association with someone who made racist statements than he is at Obama's association with someone who made racist statements. I understand where both Geraldine Ferraro and Rev. Wright were coming from, but, to me, at least, both of them made reprehensible remarks.

I don't favor either of the candidates -- this is just my take on Keith's bias, which he certainly has the right to have since he's not a real journalist.

[Horse with no Name]

49. Keith is a partisan hack

and is continuing the work where Rush left off.
He deserves no more respect from me.

And it IS sad...because he had a very promising start.
I will not be sad the day they yank him off of the air.

[BklynChick]

51. I agree. He's virtually the only progressive voice in the mainstream media.

[BumRushDaShow]

52. I wish MSNBC would give Joe Madison a show.

He and Olbermann could kick some repuke a$$!

[Pryderi]

54. Randi Rhodes.

[rodeodance]

55. He is catching up to tweety in his nonsence lately

[robbedvoter]

56. I mean, "tenuous but fascinating" as the new journalistic standard is great!

Mr Spock loved "fascinating, and he was one smart Vulcan!

[Dinger]

64. K & R, Even If That Is A Reply

n/t

[LanternWaste]

58. Sure. Our own internecine fighting on DU...

"Is there anything more pathetic than attacks on Keith Olbermann?"

Sure. Our own internecine fighting on DU and attacks on each other. It seems that once a person chooses a candidate to support on DU, they become fair game for being called racist or sexist (at best).

I find that pretty damnably pathetic.

[high density]

61. No kidding

Some people on this forum have taken a Sean Hannity approach to a lot of stuff.

How many other people on TV news channels are calling McCain "McBush?" Come on people.

[mudesi]

63. Clinton loyalists are deluded and way in over their heads (nm)

[rinsd]

66. 3 months ago, Obama fans were calling him a Hillary Shill

[boston bean]

67. YES, his attacks on Clinton. nt

[Scurrilous]

68. It's FReeperesque.

:kick:

[hell-bent]

69. He is just an ex-sportscaster!

Where was KO's outrage over the Wright videos? Oh, but the Ferraro comment deserved one of his "special comments"! What a biased jerk. Why should I watch him again when he attempted to attack Hillary at every opportunity? He is just like Tweety. A major turd in my book. Keith, you suck!

[McCamy Taylor]

70. Yes, KO's partisan attacks on Hillary. He looks like a bully when he does it.

He is losing his fan base. And he distorts and lies so no one will believe him when he tries to talk about Bush which he hardly ever does anymore because he is too busy talking about Hillary the Bitch. Last night when he got all excited because a career diplomat worked during the Clinton administration was so pathetic it made me want to cry. He even said she had been in DC since 1981 but he could not do the math. All he could think about was Clinton, Clinton, Clinton.

[bagimin]

72. Look at these freeper-like responses

case closed.
