Countdown: The GOP Off the Deep End

[TAz69x]

Joe the Plumber just drew on that guy's hat!...

he just devalued it to a level beyond radioactive waste

[roninmd]

Ron Paul reminds me of that favorite Grandpa that you want to protect if someone messes with him. If he were commander in chief... I would join the military just because he symbolizes true Constitutional freedom that America is supposed to represent. He is the one Presidential candidate that makes sense. I would take a bullet for him.

[mizzoulibertarian]

BLAH BLAH BLAH your about to get your ass kicked

[dcmiller9]

This coming from Olberman who spews nothing but hatred and disgust for conservatives. Typical liberal, "do as I say, not as I do" mentality. What a pathetic loser.

[rleary1]

@dcmiller9 the bastard olberman does spew hatred but no more/no less than those pricks Beck and Limbaugh.They all suck and there are too many people in this F'd up country that think one person speaks the honest truth. Considering everyone in Congress is a criminal on either side I don't really think one party is good and right...

[dcmiller9]

I agree with you, there are nuts on both sides. But after seeing Olberman called Scott Brown a "tea-bagger" it makes me sick to see him criticize anyone for usung offensive language. I am still surprised this tool is still on the air. But let's vote out a lot of the trash in November! :)

[Chslosers]

and with me today .. the same guy I have on to commentate on everything .. same opinion.. real news/? We report, we decide-MSNBC

[mizilus]

off the deep end? That happened long before they deregulated media.

[nozzghoull]

You suck Keith and so does MSNBC.

It's going to be great watching the Obamabots and Democratic scum get served in November.....keep spinning morons. lol WORST ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS EVER!

[CoastToCoastPM]

Two assholes if there ever where two assholes.

[rleary1]

You got that right! I don't think there's a bigger pair of self-absorbed assholes in the world as these two.

[dye013]

Really i can name 4 that are on fox or have been on fox o'reilly, hannity, limbaugh, glenn beck. just a few to start with.

[rleary1]

@dye013 I agree with you. Keith's just started to irritate me because he's siding with everything Democrat like Limbaugh blindly sides with Republicans. I have a healthy distrust and dislike for both parties. Keith was better when he had something to fight against - dubyah.

[dye013]

+1 oh i thought you were like most people who blindly watch fox "news" and believe everything they say but i finally find someone who sees the whole picture! its refreshing haha

[eifersucht2]

what about ed shitz?

[rleary1]

@eifersucht2 I can't even look at Ed shitz and therefore never watch his show. When he comes on I race for the remote.

[tractorback21]

Hummmm, these guys are "off the deep end" but Obama's she-boy Janet Napoleon-o issues a notice from the Dept of Homeland sec. that says political dissenters are to be seen as "terrorists"? No, that is completely normal behavior. Nothing is said about that load of tyranical crap. Honestly, peaceful tea party participants and anti-illegal immigration proponents are terrorists? Why, because they think Obama et al are complete idiots? Communism is close friends.

[turdmonster]

There's a big difference between "political dissenters" and "armed militias", and nobody in the Obama administration has said tea-partiers are terrorists-- you guys are inferring that (and I thought it was liberals who had the "victim mentality.")

So, ARE tea-partiers on the same page with white-supremacist groups? You guys are acting as if you are-- DHS warns about white supremacists, and you think Napolitano is talking about YOU.

[thedecider1984]

keith olbermen is a useless liberal faggot.

[SourceCode2006]

fox sniffs its own hole

[tractorback21]

Fox has ratings 2-3 times larger than PMSNBC. Good try.

[Lynx787]

If other networks had a viewership entirely made up of 30+ year old shut-ins who do little else but watch tv, they'd have high ratings too. Liberals and the young have all but given up on tv news. Popularity is just popular. High ratings prove nothing else, not quality nor credibility. Here is some perspective:

Britney Spears sells more CDs than Apocalyptica.

McDonalds sells more beef than Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

More people have rented "Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo" than "The Maltese Falcon."

[SourceCode2006]

lol pwnd!

[turdmonster]

Joe the Plumber is held up as some kind GOP saint, because he represents the ideal of their ignorance: he bases his economic decisions on the hope he will one day be rich, blames illegal immigrants when he doesn't become rich, complains about the unemployed stealing his taxes when he isnt paying his taxes, and believes we are turning socialist when even under Obama the richest Americans are paying less in taxes than they did under Reagan.

[weirsoccer6]

You have it wrong. The richest 5 percent in America have seen a tax increase. And trust me, being at CPAC 2009... many people did not consider Joe the Plumber as a GOP saint... but only a joke.

[tractorback21]

Acorn is some kind of Liberal saint orgainzation that registers Tony Romo and Superman to vote and gives homeless guys an apple to get on a yellow bus and vote for liberal jerkoffs.

[turdmonster]

ACORN hires temps to register voters, who then get paid by how many they registered; naturally they make up fakes to get paid more. Of course these fakes dont exist, and so dont actually vote (and despite the GOP investigating, they havent found any fake votes yet.)

And bribing homeless people-- that would be URBAN areas, where the DEMs usually win anyway-- thats a lot of work for nothing, and once you're in the booth, nobody knows who you've voted for, so a wino can vote Ron Paul if he wants.

[BoundariesOverthrown]

MSNBC is seriously retarded, a long with its gullible viewers.

[SourceCode2006]

A long? lol how are you calling people retarded when you can't even spell along.

[BoundariesOverthrown]

Wow, i have a space where it shouldnt be, big flippin deal. You sound like just like those people that get all riled up over the wrong issues and are distracted from whats really going on.

[SourceCode2006]

Listening to a moron who doesn't know the difference between "a long" and "along" probably overlooks most of the important details and just skims over making assumptions. I'm sorry that you come off as a moron on the internet but hey, whatever.

[nitedrive]

The first 6 seconds of this rant could just as easily be said of Olberman's nightly hissy fits. Keith, you're the liberal equivalent of Limbaugh. You're no less a blowhard than he is.

[Teremei]

No, because Keith actually shows you things republican's are doing stupid. ACTUAL real people. Limbaugh just generalizes without examples and says "democrats", "Liberals". Huge difference there buddy.

[nitedrive]

ACTUAL real people! My favorite kind of real people.

[clifran]

It is so heartening to see warmongers fighting amongst themselves rather than exporting a dubious outlook to other extremists managing to mess up their own countries free of interference.

[kaziqbal]

funny to hear about Olberfag talking about extreme political views.

and nice unbiased objective question set ups, especially at 1:25

[popeontop]

looks like the socialists are still in denial that their policies have destroyed our economy

[Th1mastermike]

You moron! Republicans and George Bush have had control for the last 6 of 8 years and look what happened! P.S. Those socialist in Sweden managed to fix there banking problems.

[popeontop]

sorry i used to be kinda dumb too and liked olbermann just cause I thought bush was dumb, but bush was NOT a conservative. and P.S. the jews really liked hitler's socialism, and the soviet's loved russia's.

[kaziqbal]

"Those socialist in Sweden managed to fix there banking problems."

Why don't you go live in Sweden?

[Th1mastermike]

Because I love the U.S. and I'm trying to save it from the mess George W. Bush created.

[BoundariesOverthrown]

I dont think you are in any position to be calling anyone a moron with what you just said. Seriously? First of all, you think Bush is a Republican. Second, you think the mess we're in is all the caused by one party. Brilliant. Do everyone a favor, go get educated, and stop embarrassing us Americans. Thanks.

[everEbody]

Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

[trigger119]

and Keith: Dressing up old terms like socialism in new terms like progressive doesn't change what it is, no matter how much you tell yourself and your deluded viewers that it isn't the same thing.

[trigger119]

This is really one of the most ridiculous clips I've ever seen. You'd think Wurzelbacher was a keynote speaker. I'm not trying to cover up the stupidity or ridiculousness of Joe the Plumber, but seriously MSNBC!?!

You're fast becoming the Fox News of the Democratic party. You'd think from this clip the GOP adopted "shooting congressmen" to it's platform! LOL! Nobody is "going to Joe for guidance," Keith!

It is sad Joe the idiot even had a voice at CPAC, though.

[JMcH]

What do you mean "fast becoming?" They already are!

[trigger119]

The thing Olbermann just oh-so-incidentally misses, is that these were not the main people or "rhetoric" at CPAC.

Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and all the things the GOP should be ignoring for the most part, did not win big at CPAC. Palin didn't even register on the straw poll, hardly. Heck, from people I know who went Joe the Plumber was at a small table in the corner! Hardly the spokesman for the GOP.

Sadly people like Rush Limbaugh still have influence, though. At least C4L won big.

[wafuuwafuu]

Where there any blacks at CPAC? Like this last GOP convention, I didn't see any. Hum, what does that tell you?

[JMcH]

That you're blind?

[LazerBeef]

Congrats to Keith, way to go on the Feb 09 ratings! Loosing to the Cartoon Network has got to feel good! Pretty sweet that you cashed in when you did. Too bad you can't please the ladies.

[integral]

Gee, another Republican who can't put a rational thought together and is apparently completely out of touch with reality.

There's a lot of you guys around.

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

"Loosing" -> "losing".

You're an idiot, of course cartoons are going to be more popular for a country full of ignoramuses like yourself.

[kennny732]

its a shame that c-pac invited joe the nose plumber, but not the 3 greatest conservatives of all time...bush, cheney and rumsfeld

[sahdahimbou]

jim demint is an idiot, so are almost all of politicians in south carolina. i can't understand why people would listen to governor sanford, either, but at least he's smarter than demint

[JMcH]

When it's the GOP, it's "hateful rhetoric."

When it's the Dems, it's "speaking truth to power."

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

It's over man, you lost, just go finish your life out in a cave far away from the rest of us.

[JMcH]

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what you did after the previous two elections.

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

No I was in New York.

[JMcH]

Oh, okay. So you're admitting you're a hypocrite. Do as you say, not as you do, right?

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

No not at all, this is advice tailored specifically for you and your ideology.

[JMcH]

Nice excuse. You're still a big, fat hypocrite.

[JMcH]

Yeah, no hateful rhetoric coming from Queef Slobbermann. Nope. Not a bit.[/sarcasm]

[integral]

Congratulations. You've convinced us.  You're an idiot, and proud of it.

[dijhili]

Who even watches MSNBC ? Nice numbers Keith, hahahaha

[integral]

Would you care to go check those numbers and then come back and explain how mistaken you were?

Or is it just too much fun parroting the same old lies to make you feel better about your little self.

[dijhili]

If you dont know already, his show does not do that well....so yes...check the numbers. Drudge usually posts the numbers once a week.

[JMcH]

Which is why Slobbermann and his supporters are big fans of the Censorship Doctrine. They think it will boost his ratings.

[technicschic]

Oh yes, I really believe Drudge, his numbers and his "sirens". You know, the numbers that were fudged to show that McCain was leading in the polls during the election - yeah, Drudge is real believable.

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Who watches any tv anymore?

[stewart0312]

"slapping some member..." ROFL

[mgband]

"Joe the Plumber is an idiot."

Wow! I know we were all thinking it, but this dude just said it! Kudos!

[kennny732]

joe the nose plumber

[Eugenitor]

Picking on CPAC attendees is really getting into the department of fish and barrels. The Republican party hosed itself. The only semi-sane one they have left is Romney- and he's such an incredibly sick fuck that all the money in the world can't get him elected.

[grenluvv]

Sorry everyone there is no responsible Repub. leadership left. Get use to it. Hate sells!! This is so sad...

[billthebutcher2]

In all fairness to Joe The Plumber, the book reading public isn't exactly the demographic for his, uh.. book.

[1973noxqses]

is it a coloring book?

I thought good old Joe got shot. I heard somthing about a 200 lb. ape or sumthin?

[jamesocon1]

You guys are still listening to Joe the freakin' plumber!! Great. And you are spozed to be the Leaders of the Free World!!! Ha!! Ha!!! Ha!! Ha!!! Ha!! Ha!!! The quicker China takes over the better!!! Ho!! Ho!! Ho!!

[smokeyorangutan]

At this rate the 2012 election is going to be the most amusing event in history. All the sane republicans jumped ship along time ago.

[Scoppertop]

True, smokey... only the highly raving-sociopaths remain.

[DaveDeShrubber]

Perhaps we should recall that the so-called responsible GOP leadership, including Dwight Eisenhower, was afraid to do anything when Senator Joe McCarthy was exploiting the threat of communism for his own political purposes ; and that before Conservatism became associated with William Buckley and all those other charming National Review people who loved Barry Goldwater, it was represnted by that vicious thug from Wisconsin.

[FriedDaisy]

Maybe they're hoping for an insanity defense in the upcoming prosecutions.

[getplaning]

Well said, Mr Robinson.

[Capng123]

There's a difference between ignorance and stupidity. Joe the Plumber apparently doesn't know the difference and yet somehow he excels at both. Could there be a more perfect icon of the Bush era conservative?

[billthebutcher2]

Short of Bush or Palin or maybe that guy with the MORAN sign, I can't think of anybody better than JTP... :)

[Rodney92]

I love the GOP. They make the Democrats job so much more easy. Are they not aware that George W. created this awful mess?

[xhagast]

You know, they are so stupid I shudder. What happened to their brains? They could go all crazy for "Buy American!" and pressure the government to provide investment, tax cuts, tax incentives, protectionistic measures, etc, etc. They invaded countries to help bannana companies. I bet they could get the government to help them set up industries to compete with China. They would make a killing there and the government would pay for it all. To create jobs. Would make fortunes for sure.

[tsuboimachi]

Is it possible that (let's be kind here) uninformed people have always been around in these numbers but that "new media" has given them a platform?

I am constantly astounded when I post something on YouTube find a multitude of clearly disturbed people respond with rants of the "end of days." It's an education but I find it unnerving at times.

[integral]

Don't get too unnerved (altho I know how you feel).

A very few of them are dangerous, and might act on their insanity.

For the most part it's just a lot of blather, insane blather, but just blather none the less.

[Mahoivlich]

watch the gop run him in 2012....

[swankrecords]

Notice all the people of color in the audience? Neither did I. No doubt it's a "democrat jewish conspiracy."
