11-23-11 5 Fear The Turkey! - Countdown with Keith Olbermann

[jkaylin6]

Finally, revealed! Republicans against anything Muslim, even food. 

[nassimj]

well said Keith. Stop hating Muslims Pamela, as it will get you nowhere unless that is where you want to get.

[faize1947]

physco women!

[MiniRtist]

By the way.... this is actually David Shuster, the guest host. But I'm pretty sure Keith would agree with this segment. :)

[wwstiger]

ROFL LMAO!!! Go Keith! Man this country is full of nutjobs like pamela geller that are totally wacko!

[soupayam]

I LIKE THIS KEITH GUY. RESPECT.

[allisonknightkhan]

Pamela Geller is not a conservative!

She spends all her time talking bad about ONE religion is not healthy.

I find it ironic, that as a Muslim, if I cannot find halal food, I am very happy to get kosher food because I know it was killed in the name of One God in a clean, humane way.

I loved the commentary! Thank you very much for taking a stand Keith Olbermann!

[Phantomhive8]

: i love this guy ! XD

[azyeennekun]

Even when I was an atheist I preferred halal meat, just cause it's so much easier to verify whether it's been diseased before slaughter. So many health scares with meat, maybe I should just go veggie lol

[drrathore]

Ha Ha Ha. Absolutely Hillarious. Now can please real Americans stand up and shut up this Islamophobe, Muslim hating Pamela Geller?

[SAUDI345]

HILARIOUS, indeed !

[MuslimaButterfly]

[hanishikido]

Keith Olbermann you are amazing

[AlirazaTRAVEL]

i used to eat kosher hot dogs for this reason. the meat is prepared under a lot more scrutiny.

[malakhamada1]

Thanks Keith Olbermann , Pamela Geller is unbelievably ignorant anything to get attention

[chughtaimb]

You are sick person who does not want to understand the benefits of eating the Halal turckey. May Almighty give you guidance to understand the benefits and stop slandering religon of Islam.

[athews1976]

Oh god, I hope this woman gets the attention she's seeking. We need another Sara Palin. She would bring us some more of that exciting sensational media circus we all love. ;-[]

[nonamajnona]

thank you Keith Olbermann,

[bibiazim]

It seems to me that she is needy and seeks attention.

[mtnmir]

Muslims and Jews dont eat pigs. For one who eat pork should see it eating its poo and other dirts. I invite Christians to eat Halal food for their health sake. Islam forbid eating pork, dead animals (except fish) and animal blood.

[zahara114]

@mtnmir Btw, the bible also says that eating and touching pork is forbidden. Deuteronomy 14:8

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass .

Leviticus 11:7-8

"And the swine, though he divided the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

"Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you."

[mabt929929]

i respect Keith Olbermann for knowing wht he is talking bout unlike other haters of islam

[toomuchhorsepower]

HAHAHAHAHA wow I like the sound of this halal turkey

[URBandar]

Thanks for talking sense. Geller comes off as an educated ignoramus.

[unauthorisedyellow]

his sarcasm is just win!!! bright side of ridiculousness :)

[jerusalemhawk86]

Toda Rava Olbermann...

[samirash100]

Good Job Keith!

[Ransiq]

Actually the word is Zabihah, buy thanks for cheering me up. Get Kieth back!

[jerusalemhawk86]

@Ransiq The word is Halal because not all zabiha is Halal :-D.

[zydahm]

@jerusalemhawk86 not all that's halal is zabiha. zabiha refers mostly to meat slaughter. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

[HanadiHijazi]

Thank you so much Mr. Keith Olbermann for your comments and reaction. May God reward you well!

[strakerak]

we muslims eat Anythjg but pork. pork is not halal!!! pigs are never cleaned before they are sold. go by halal products today.

[MsGuest786]

Halal is the way to go...........

This woman is biased and racist. Maybe she is does not have any knowledge and believes all that the Media portrays about Islam

[FreeMeImYemeni]

soooo this woman believes in GOD?????? i didn't know that christianity preached hate,, i actually thought the bible said God loves every1 and thou love thy enemy,, shes more of a Satan worshipper, instigating and preaching hate , shes the devils little helper,, bored little house wife didnt knw wat else to do in life,, she prob found some little boys hidin in her husbands closet,, typical

[malaykuree1]

Funny, Very Funy..!!

Sad, Very Sad..!!

[00Allsmiles]

Wow he told her!

[ummkoko]

Lololol. This guys great!  Funny as! That woman, unfortunately is ignorant n seems to like living in ignorance.

[havingfunlovinglife]

she is koko head!

[lovestruck1821]

lmao this lady is really stupid

[thehayamind]

we muslims constitute only 2 percent in the US..lol why would you be scared?shes so disgusting.ew.

[irrefudiate]

I just think, like a lot of knee-jerk reactors, she's not very well informed about the nuances of her cause. She is part of the same crowd who insist on passing anti Sharia laws. Everyone knows that a practice that is unconstitutional, is illegal in our country.

[moonblink]

the best way for the animal to not feel pain: DON'T CUT IT!

[2Faz2Furious]

@moonblink actually when a animal is slaughtered the muslim halal way, it is slaughtered away from the eyes of another animal, it is not allowed to see the knife and its main vein in the neck is cut quick so it does not feel pain, this has been proven by scientists.

[krinko187]

BOSS

[al3azeema]

The swift cutting of vessels of the neck disconnects the flow of blood to the nerve of the brain responsible for pain. Thus the animal does not feel pain. While dying, the animal struggles, writhers, shakes and kicks, not due to pain,

[TheYuma7]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I am thankful for your stand against Ms. Geller's ludicrous remarks about halal meat. Clearly, she lacks the skill of cross checking her words before spewing them out like an idiot publicly.

Thank you once again!

[grim336]

i agree with the halal type, it make me feel better that its not deceased or brutally killed

[ahmz1404]

Brilliant!

[TheFartMaster1000000]

So true...

[tomjtoon]

It's obvious she has had her brain infected by a lifetime of unclean foods.

[adamwaleed09]

IF YOU ASK ME , I AM A MUSLIM AND EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ,BUT HATE MUST STOP ,THAT IS VERY NICE OF THE COMPANY TO HAVE A HALAL FOOD SO THE MUSLIMS CAN JOIN OTHERS IN THAT DAY ,HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU MUSLIMS AND NON MUSLIMS.

[Whammyaniac]

As an atheist, I couldn't care less about this whole "halal" brouhaha, although halal turkeys do sound superior in quality.

As a sane person, I am offended by Pamela Geller's... everything.

[DZeynali]

halal slaughtering(which includes slaughter by Jews btw) is the most humane way of slaughtering...may Allaah guide her, Ameen

[ThorGoLucky]

Pamela, what about Christian supremacism that's bend on taking away our freedoms?

[ashsoccer960]

Keith Olbermann's just great!

[caliscribe]

Wow, that rant is Keith-worthy! Well done David!

[Tobimar]

I suspect that, if Pam had taken David Shuster's advice, her family would have been celebrating most of their Thanksgiving at the emergency ward at the nearby hospital. Just hope that that hospital was not certified halal. ;)

[screeningmimi]

"That woman is an idiot."

[elyesm007]

extremely ridiculous!!!

[16shoaib]

no difference between pam and a nazi

[REVSTOCK]

BEST line was the Last:

"...Or whatever INSANE Asylum these days you're calling... Home."

[AbuOmarSanDiegi]

may our creator give these people the understanding, love n peace. Amin

[theproudONE92]

@AbuOmarSanDiegi ameen

[MiniRtist]

If you ask me... Geller's noise is much ado about nothing. Do it humanely, do it cleanly, and then give thanks for what you have, instead of trying to divide people.

[thunderbay63]

Dear Lord, protect us from turkeys of mass destruction. 

[cloudberry121]

The declaration of Bismillah,

'In the name of Allah The Great',should precede the actual act of

slaughter.

[kungfufreak360]

@cloudberry121 if you arent muslim, how does this prayer affect you in the least? it doesnt, get over it.

[cloudberry121]

Geller has saved the lives of muslim girls who were endangered of 'honor killings.' Also this man forgot to add the animals must be prayed over and dedicated to the islamic god. This could offend atheists because their meat has been submitted to a religious rite. This will offend Christians because they are not allowed to eat meat sacrificed to a foreign god.

[kungfufreak360]

@cloudberry121 honor killings are not islamic.

[AishahDaGreat]

@cloudberry121 Honor killings are completely un-Islamic (much like child molestation is un-Catholic, and shooting politicians is not the Christian thing to do), and Muslims don't worship more than one GOD. We only worship the One True God. Its the first Pillar of our faith, but you wouldn't know if you support this sideshow freak. I must advise you to look up the word Allah on google translate. Its the same word Arab Christians use for God. Bismillah means "In the name of God."

[xsaaghix]

@cloudberry121ignorant

[caliscribe]

@cloudberry121 Hebrew National hot dogs are certified kosher, and I've never heard an atheist object to eating them. And how do we know the person doing the slaughter doesn't say a prayer to YHWH under his breath? Plus, Allah is the same God as the one worshiped by Jews and Christians; "Allah" is merely the word "God" in Arabic. It would be like saying that Russians worship a foreign god because their name for "God" is Бог (pronounced boch, rhyming with loch).

[woah455]

@cloudberry121 We have the same God! Allah, translated from Arabic, means God. Jews, Christians, and Muslims = same God. And the meat isn't "prayed over" but slaughtered in the name of God. The same God we all believe in. If atheists don't believe in God then they shouldn't care in the name of whom it is slaughtered. For all they care, it could be slaughtered in the name of Chewbacca. Boycott money for that matter if you are not Christian, because "In God We Trust" definitely sounds like it. -_-

[moonblink]

@woah455 lol "slaughtered in the name of Chewbacca" HAHA

[kungfufreak360]

what a nutjob woman

[deblopezita]

SHE Need's to hear how ignorant she is? I am discusted by her DISCRIMINATION of a RELIGION & SHE Don't know what she's talking about!!!

[ummakhan1512]

geller is scary stupid.

[IbnFergus]

Gellar is like the anti-Semites who claim that the Kosher food is proof of a Jewish takeover of America.

The fact that Muslims eat Turkey for thanksgiving proves that they're fitting in and assimilating, what more could she want?

[TheHauteMagie]

As an Atheist I don't want to eat religiously processed meat. Why not label the product correctly?

[samihahabib]

@TheHauteMagie because you're given due to where due is deserved. Halal is a Muslim humane way for slaughtering animals, if someone follows our clean method they have no right to change the name of it. What should they say? "CLEAN SAFE TURKEY" or a long description? And besides Muslims won't eat unless its certified Halal, so it's a win win for both of us. You get clean turkey and we get to eat meat in general... Yay! :D

[woah455]

@TheHauteMagie It isn't religiously processed. It's processed in a humane and appropriate way. Most meat distributors treat our poultry and beef horribly and then put a bullet through their head and zap them = not halal (in translation from Arabic -- permitted). I hope you are at least for animal rights and humanity, if not for God.

[limitsofthesky]

@TheHauteMagie As an atheist, you don't believe in God. Why should you care if it is religiously prepared or not? This is confusing me. If you don't believe in something, it doesn't exist to you and it shouldn't matter. So weird.

[moonblink]

@limitsofthesky i think she was mixing up her political view about "the war on terror" with anything that mentions Islam.

[llachow]

what about our Freedoms...you know, the ones they hate us for...?

[wedingo]

I agree with this but they should change the name, don't use religious terms to define how a product is processed.

[TheBronxBrooklyn]

@wedingo Well from a business standpoint, a company would definitely want to use religious terms to make those religious groups aware that they CAN eat what the company is selling.

[DrJReefer]

Halal actually means 'permitted'. Water is Halal, Vegetables are Halal. I've seen the EDL freaking out that some sweets are Halal.

It's ignorant bigoted fearmongering

[kamran5461]

i am a proud supporter of halal meat.

[DonQuixotedeKaw]

How about some halal Geller for thanksgiving?

No?

Yeah you're right, that worthless meatbag is way to toxic and diseased.

[kellyofsiam]

I live in Thailand & found that Halal ( حلال‎) certified food is hygienic and safe...too bad that pork is not included in this as the Thais do eat a lot of pork.

This stupid woman fears halal & all thing Muslilm? How does she count? Roman numerals? You know..0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. I am certain she refuse to take algebra at school because or the connection to Islam...not because she is stupid.

[pagename]

If she's such a big objectivist why is she praying to god which objectivism rejects? Just saying...hypocrite much?

[dobbsiancant]

@pagename yeah,well ayn rand had no qualms about using medicare and collecting social security either.and i'm sure geller doesn't mind putting gas refined from arab oil in her car..

[ji94552]

This is truly insane. I wouldn't buy any turkey but Butterball.

[bluewizard52]

Personally, i 'd prefer Kosher or halal

[MsZeitgeist85]

This woman is sick in the head.

[shughes428]

This woman is nuts!!!!

[arugono]

Does it really matter how the turkey was slaughtered so long as its sanitary, relatively humane and not done with Uncle Jim-Bob's Vietnam War era pistol?

[DimmedDiamond]

I prefer my Turkeys to be baptized in steak sauce.

[rumpole33]

Conservatives...SMDH...

Basically, Gellar is saying that the only meat you should eat is a week-old roadkill.

[StanMarsh1]

Awesome!

[MrAthanz]

hahah wow, she got owned

[darklighter131]

She needs help and lots of it..
