Olbermann...Just another ignorant patsy for socialism. If he really cared about the truth, he would say it, and maybe people would watch him instead of there current source of truth...FOX News. The ratings speak for themselves!!
And keith Olberman as long as he keeps INSULTING AND CALLING THE VIEWERS NAMES, HE, WILL NEVER GET IT AS TO WHY MSNBC is in the bottom of the news rating. Who ever is in charge of that broadcasting station needs tobe fired. When your news people keep driving the viewers to the FOX CHANNEL,
THEY NEED TO SIT BACK AND WONDER WHAT IS FOX NEWS DOING THAT IS RIGHT THAT THEIR RATINGS KEEP GOING UP WHILE MSNBC KEEPS GOING DOWN AND LOSING VIEWS,
News Flash! Palin stepped down as Gov of Alaska. And won't tell anyone why. She is facing 15 ethics charges so maybe that's it. Or she is going to spend 4 yrs studying so she can run in 2012. But if she couldn't fulfill her stint as Gov then how the hell could she hang as President? The first time the leaders of Iran & Korea say boo she'll cut and run!
I guess Diet Dr. Pepper is a big issue in the world. Again. This piece of shit Olbermann is making his living off of Palin, Bush, and other stupid Republicans. Gosh. Must be tough.
Crazy Sarah Palin is so stupid she going around the country giving interviews playing the victim while blaming so-called liberal media to her own conservative handlers for her failures, what a whiney bitch Palin turned out to be.
Bush won't stand against these new International bullies because of the anti-war left. America doesn't have the stomach or will and Iran, Chavez, and Russia know it!! We will see these bullies gather ever increasingly deadly weapons, because they know the Code Pinkers have ripped apart the will of the American People. We will pay dearly soon for this new thinking. Iran will go nuclear and then so will Hammas. We have been duped by the Left and people are going to perish from our weakness.
This election with the media coverage was Affirmative Action at it's worse in my opinion. We all felt like we "owed" it to give a black person a job, so the contest was adjusted to accommodate that goal. If I were Barack, I would be pissed. He has talent, but must feel it a poke that everyone babied him because of race.
Even now, Libs are PISSED if you question any statement Barack makes. Do it sometime and see the results!! That is dangerous I believe.
I did find this on another website that should make you happy:
I'd like to note whitebread, super-rich John Kerry received about 88% of the African-American vote in 2004, according to exit polls. Obama is reported to have received 95-96% (although all votes are yet to be counted) in 2008.
But from the African Americans I know, it was a black issue. My own parents were giddy over a black President.
I am also glad for a black President but for the right reasons.
Obama could not have been voted in for his anti-war stance. He wants to kill Osama and bomb Pakistan preemptively.
Most people feel that if you make a deal and are rewarded good money, it is your money not your neighbors to demand.
We can travel down that route if you like since we have "neighbors" in Africa like where Obama's Brother makes $25 a year. How much has Obama given his brother? How much should the U.N. take from your paycheck each week? Let's mandate redistribution by law.
The race issue is a pretty sad commentary on the civil rights movement which asked people to judge other only by their character.
Obama has already started his "Diplomacy" by stating he will KILL the leader of his enemy. More "Bring it On!" Cowboy talk.
Obama today states that MILLIONS might lose their jobs! Wow, this guy is great. Wonder if I can lose more business now? Gee thanks, Obama! Let's yell FIRE in a theater and see if we can create a stampede!
Think about what she said "it comes from anonymous sources, so its hard to have a defense." Is the source a reason that you could not defend what someone says about you? If someone called me a tree, I would not have trouble defending myself w/out knowing the source. She has trouble because her defense is to attack the person personally, and w/out that, she has nothing. Of course the aid is anonymous, if they gave their name they could ruin their future career. She likes that they are anonymous.
If they aren't her clothes, and the RNC purchased it, not her, where are they? Did they go to Herbie the drug dealer and his wife? If they aren't being picked up, sounds like she benefited from it. And it doesn't seem reality that she didn't know she was getting $150,000 in clothing. It might not matter, but she was the one campaigning as the standardbearer for "Joe Six-pack."
How can it be hard to respond to something if it's not true? Why does it matter who said it? Watching her stutter her way through a simple answer proves my theory that she is in fact a poorly made robot.
He makes me Laugh Out Loud, Olberman's show should be moved to comedy central. Slotted between Stewart and Colbert. Why doesn't he pick apart Obama Joe Biden with the same vigor.
I hate Palin, and I like Olberman alot but he got it wrong. Palin is right when she calls the people in the McCain campaign "jerks" who leeked this misinformation out. Why did they do this? They had to have a scapegoat to blame for the lousy job they did and McCain's poor showing in the election - "We woulda won if it wasn't for that damm broad. So whe shouldn't be blamed and you can hire us and pay us big buck for the next election, where we will be ready with a new set of sleezeball tacticts"
so the clothes arent at her house but left them in the plane - cuz she knows it's more incriminating to have them found at her home. also, why are they even on her plane? why even take them to alaska? i thought she was going to give them to Goodwill. plenty of Goodwills down here in the lower 48.
I've seen the whole video on the Anchorage newspaper site, and that "stinkers" thing was also just taken OUT OF CONTEXT to make her look silly!
That is what is causing all these problems. The whole video has her saying that "one apple spoils the whole barrel" and then when a reporter says something else about it, she says that one "stinker" makes the whole batch smell bad. Stinker as in spoiled apple.
If you look it up, then you can see how something so innocent can be used out of context to make her look "hillbilly"...
Also the lower 48 comment, she was referring to the sexism she experienced and that because she comes from Alaska where the women do the tough jobs in the freezing temps like the men, that it surprised her that she saw so much in the lower 48 toward her. Once again, you have to hear the whole footage so you can see what she is referring to.
It doesn't matter if it's taken out of context, which is why he compared "stinkers" to Bush saying, "Evil do-er" it sounds stupid. They aren't making her look silly, she makes herself look silly just by using that word regardless of the context.
Don't like Olberman? Stop whining and go back to watching the freak-show on Fox. Palin's a dumb, nasty bitch, and she and the Repugs are getting what they deserve lol.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Olberman is not only a "Stinker" but a "Dumb Ass"! I wonder where Olberman's Journalistic abilities will turn to now? Obama? The man he fondled himself over?
Sara Palin is correct about the media giving Obama the Presidency with zero vetting other than to check what color his skin was. Had the Media like Olberman been fair and balanced, nobody would care if they dug on Palin, but the Media wanted their "Man".
So Olberman continues bashing Hillbillies in his hateful elitist way.
The media chose Obama because of the color of his skin? Why didn't they "choose" Al Sharpton when he ran then? The Republican media were just as unbalanced as the Demo, it just happens that the Demo news came from more credible sources than Bill Orielly and Elizibeth Hasslebeck.
Absolutely the media picked Obama because he was black in color. He is also handsome and young, just like Kennedy. It is undisputed that Obama was a media darling. Every Liberal wanted to "make history" so they could say "THEY" were a part of it.
That is a reason to elect a man for office but a pretty lame reason by itself.
Obama got a free ride on this one based on color. What he does with that "Gift" is up to him.
So why didn't the media usher Sharpton (democrat), Jesse Jackson (Democrat), or Alan Keyes who was a Republican economic ambassador to the UN, assistant secretary of state for the IOA, and a diplomat. I'll tell you why, it is because they weren't running as the only alternative to someone who has voted with Bush 92% of the time. Our country is failing w/ Bush, and the other option was a guy who doesn't want to be lumped w/ Bush, but statistically is Bush. Color didn't get those men the office.
Sharpton and Jackson had to much baggage after their failed campaigns. I actually liked Sharpton. Keyes is a Christian and there is no way a Liberal is ever going to back a Christian. Not one that seems to actually believe.
Obama was and is the poster child of affirmative action where whites can shed their guilt and blacks can have a brother in office.
Sharpton & Jackson had too much baggage after their failed campaigns? The point is that the media didn't help them to have a successful campaign during the campaigning. They were black and Liberal. Why didn't the media make them their darling? Your reasoning is that the media didn't help them during their campaign, because they had too much baggage after their campaign? Wow.
Obama is a Christian. Do you think he went to a Christian church for over 20 yrs as a deep cover? HA! Real rational.
Wow. Did you hear me explain that the media liked him because he was the alternative to McCain? I didn't say that they weren't fans of Obama, I said that it wasn't because of his color.
When you cut through all the BS, you find that even with a Repub Pres and a Repub congress in control for 6 years, abortion was still hitting record breaking numbers.
Well we disagree when I see the media working the Obama angle just to make History. That isn't because he has a record of doing much it is simple. Color. The fact that 97% of African Americans think the way Obama does is telling also. It is all about race but the Libs hoped that their support would end that issue. It didn't. We are still giving passes based on skin tone.
Just because abortions are up.....you want them legal? How about pedophilia? I am sure those stats are up also.
Ha! What? Why would most African Americans agreeing with Obama's views solidify your idea that the media favored him based on his color? The fact is that you don't have any proof that the media liked him because he was black, in fact their record shows the opposite, so continue to ignore that.
Because abortions are up, I want them legal? You clearly couldn't understand what I was saying. You dislike that the Demos voted for abortion, but the Repubs didn't stop it when they were in control.
Ive always been a registered and voting Republican, until this election. McCain and Palin pushed me briefly to the left. I don't want abortion to be legal, but why consider it a party difference when the Repubs never did anything to stop it when they were in control. Abortion is a way to define values, but neither party has values enough to stop it from happening, so I don't listen when Repubs say they are against abortion, it is just words. Abortion was at an all time high w/ the Repub control.
My own children are black and wanted Obama along with their friends. When asked why they wanted Obama? Silence. It is a black pride issue. That is a great thing for people to have self-esteem but why base your self-esteem over a man who was voted for by the color of his skin?
I am not sure abortion is a legislative issue. I believe it has to go before the Supreme Court again. I can't speak for Repubs but can say most Democrats openly support abortion.
So because your black children don't have any good reasons for liking Obama, that means that no one has good reasons? Educate your kids.
Article III section 2 of the Constitution:
In all the other cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, WITH SUCH EXCEPTIONS, AND UNDER SUCH REGULATIONS AS THE CONGRESS SHALL MAKE." The Republicans had the opportunity for 6 years with their control of congress and abortion didn't stop or even slow down
And.......the Democrats are going to do better than the Republicans for protecting the least of us? You know better. They think death is a much better alternative to a crappy life kids might have in their opinions.
I think I have done a fine job thus far with my kids, thank you. I am careful to encourage them to look at all the angles. I just made an observation that they seem to feel obligated to back their race. That is also common with others. Sorry but that is what it is.
I didn't say the Democrats will do any better with abortion, that is the entire point; neither side does anything to stop or slow it, so it is irrelevant to think of one as supporting or condemning it, both parties are just blathering.
I'm sure that your kids are fine, but just because your kids don't know why they are voting for Obama, does not mean that other black and white people don't know why they themselves are. Your black children are hardly representative of the population. Duh.
There is a difference. Conservative Christians generally support a ban on abortion. Liberal Democrats fight to keep it legal. You are correct that talk is just talk, yet I will still be hopeful where there is talk instead of a party that endorses abortion.
Again, my kids aren't that unique. 97% of blacks supported Obama versus a 51% / 49% white split. It was almost like you couldn't be a real black person if you DIDN'T endorse Obama.
This sends a horrible lesson to our kids about race.
O gees.. I understand that abortion is wrong, so yes endorsing it is bad, but it makes sense to base your decisions on something that WILL change through party lines: taxes, education, etc. because weather they are endorsing it or not, it will not change.
The question isnt weather your children are unique for liking him, it is weather other black people could give you political reasons that they like Obama. Your kids not being able to tell you why they like him is not representative of the pop
I could give you many rational reasons why I liked Obama instead of McCain, and so could every black person I know. I live in San Diego and there are a couple black people.
Don't you see? The Republican party is earning your vote just by saying they are against abortion, but they never did anything about it. I'm sure you have other reasons for being Repub, I'm normally Repub, but they won't win my vote by condemning abortion and then never doing anything about it.
I understand that my kids don't speak for the World, but when their friends look blank at me and 97% of one skin tone thinks the same way, it's telling.
I asked my kids and their friends if wealthy rappers or NBA players should have to give up more money to the Government than the rest of us. They said, "Heck no!" They made their money. So what economic issue should they be endorsing? Blank stares was the response. It is easy for someone else to be taxed more!
Yes, I see your point. But I own a business and fight Government ...a lot! Gosh Government officials are a apathetic bunch who rule just because they can. More of that? No thanks!
Helping people who need a leg up is a worthy goal but I don't trust Government to fix our ills.
It sounds like you are assuming that the black population shares political ignorance with your kids just because they are the same skin color. I'm not trying to degrade your children, but if they can't tell you why they like Obama, or articulate rational views about taxation (liking Obama but wanting rappers to keep all their money) then they have some learning to do. 97% of skin tones think the same way? What? 97% liked Obama, it doesn't mean that 97% are confused like your kids.
Being 97% the same in one category doesn't make you identical in every category. Even agreeing in the same direction 97% of the time doesn't mean that you are all doing it for the same reason i.e. your children liking Obama because he is black, while the black people I know voted for Obama because they liked his policies better than McCain's.
I think you are ever hopeful that the election was because people want to be taxed more, ok...some people want OTHER people to be taxed more, rather than the election being about human nature. I don't believe America as a whole believes if you achieve, you should be stripped of your top profits. When the "nasty" corporations throw up their hands and move, those Obama fans will be wanting to immigrate to where the jobs are. Obama won because of the guilt, abortion, and race vote.
I don't think that the election was about people wanting to be taxed more. Did I say that? I think the election was about fiscal policy, military intent, change (which is very relevant considering we are in an economic meltdown and McCain admitted to being economically slow, and his economic plans were criticized by his own party, and he voted 92% of the time with the incumbent) Independent studies showed that more Americans would see tax decreases w/ O than w/ Mc's plan. Black people know this.
Anytime politicians talk about taxing someone, it means as many as they can get away with. Those who make over $250,000...$200,000...maybe $150,000? This new Pres isn't sure yet.
We are in a slow down because people were encouraged to borrow more than they should. We are there because Iran has bullied us so that gas prices went to $4 a gal. People can't pay mortgages. Why did Iran bully? Because of anti-war groups!
I'm not sure how that related to what I said. You stated that I thought this election was about people wanting to be taxed more, so I told you what many people's issues of interest were. So I'm not sure what your implicit point was.
We are in a slow down for a plethora of reasons. The situation that we are in right now is so complex and dynamic that it is not just two contributing factors. Anyways, gas is high for many reasons too: weak dollar, speculation deregulation, slow production, etc.
Other than the race issue, Obama successfully played on people's envy of other's wealth. The result is that people voted to rob others of their money to pad their own wallets, justified because we now perceive a "normal" wage.
Some voted for Obama to get rid of the "Cowboy" Presidency yet Obama has yelled, "Bring it on!" to Al Queda by vowing to kill their messiah Osama.If you are for Peace, you DON'T make those comments.

Obama voted for abortion, that is good enough for the Liberals to pass over his Christian facade.

Wow. Did you hear me explain that the media liked him because he was the alternative to McCain? I didn't say that they weren't fans of Obama, I said that it wasn't because of his color.
When you cut through all the BS, you find that even with a Repub Pres and a Repub congress in control for 6 years, abortion was still hitting record breaking numbers.
ammoman23 3 years ago
Well we disagree when I see the media working the Obama angle just to make History. That isn't because he has a record of doing much it is simple. Color. The fact that 97% of African Americans think the way Obama does is telling also. It is all about race but the Libs hoped that their support would end that issue. It didn't. We are still giving passes based on skin tone.
Just because abortions are up.....you want them legal? How about pedophilia? I am sure those stats are up also.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
Ha! What? Why would most African Americans agreeing with Obama's views solidify your idea that the media favored him based on his color? The fact is that you don't have any proof that the media liked him because he was black, in fact their record shows the opposite, so continue to ignore that.
Because abortions are up, I want them legal? You clearly couldn't understand what I was saying. You dislike that the Demos voted for abortion, but the Repubs didn't stop it when they were in control.

Ive always been a registered and voting Republican, until this election. McCain and Palin pushed me briefly to the left. I don't want abortion to be legal, but why consider it a party difference when the Repubs never did anything to stop it when they were in control. Abortion is a way to define values, but neither party has values enough to stop it from happening, so I don't listen when Repubs say they are against abortion, it is just words. Abortion was at an all time high w/ the Repub control.

My own children are black and wanted Obama along with their friends. When asked why they wanted Obama? Silence. It is a black pride issue. That is a great thing for people to have self-esteem but why base your self-esteem over a man who was voted for by the color of his skin?
I am not sure abortion is a legislative issue. I believe it has to go before the Supreme Court again. I can't speak for Repubs but can say most Democrats openly support abortion.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
So because your black children don't have any good reasons for liking Obama, that means that no one has good reasons? Educate your kids.
Article III section 2 of the Constitution:
In all the other cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, WITH SUCH EXCEPTIONS, AND UNDER SUCH REGULATIONS AS THE CONGRESS SHALL MAKE." The Republicans had the opportunity for 6 years with their control of congress and abortion didn't stop or even slow down

And.......the Democrats are going to do better than the Republicans for protecting the least of us? You know better. They think death is a much better alternative to a crappy life kids might have in their opinions.
I think I have done a fine job thus far with my kids, thank you. I am careful to encourage them to look at all the angles. I just made an observation that they seem to feel obligated to back their race. That is also common with others. Sorry but that is what it is.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
I didn't say the Democrats will do any better with abortion, that is the entire point; neither side does anything to stop or slow it, so it is irrelevant to think of one as supporting or condemning it, both parties are just blathering.
I'm sure that your kids are fine, but just because your kids don't know why they are voting for Obama, does not mean that other black and white people don't know why they themselves are. Your black children are hardly representative of the population. Duh.
ammoman23 3 years ago
There is a difference. Conservative Christians generally support a ban on abortion. Liberal Democrats fight to keep it legal. You are correct that talk is just talk, yet I will still be hopeful where there is talk instead of a party that endorses abortion.
Again, my kids aren't that unique. 97% of blacks supported Obama versus a 51% / 49% white split. It was almost like you couldn't be a real black person if you DIDN'T endorse Obama.
This sends a horrible lesson to our kids about race.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
O gees.. I understand that abortion is wrong, so yes endorsing it is bad, but it makes sense to base your decisions on something that WILL change through party lines: taxes, education, etc. because weather they are endorsing it or not, it will not change.
The question isnt weather your children are unique for liking him, it is weather other black people could give you political reasons that they like Obama. Your kids not being able to tell you why they like him is not representative of the pop
ammoman23 3 years ago
I could give you many rational reasons why I liked Obama instead of McCain, and so could every black person I know. I live in San Diego and there are a couple black people.
Don't you see? The Republican party is earning your vote just by saying they are against abortion, but they never did anything about it. I'm sure you have other reasons for being Repub, I'm normally Repub, but they won't win my vote by condemning abortion and then never doing anything about it.
ammoman23 3 years ago
I understand that my kids don't speak for the World, but when their friends look blank at me and 97% of one skin tone thinks the same way, it's telling.
I asked my kids and their friends if wealthy rappers or NBA players should have to give up more money to the Government than the rest of us. They said, "Heck no!" They made their money. So what economic issue should they be endorsing? Blank stares was the response. It is easy for someone else to be taxed more!
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
Yes, I see your point. But I own a business and fight Government ...a lot! Gosh Government officials are a apathetic bunch who rule just because they can. More of that? No thanks!
Helping people who need a leg up is a worthy goal but I don't trust Government to fix our ills.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
It sounds like you are assuming that the black population shares political ignorance with your kids just because they are the same skin color. I'm not trying to degrade your children, but if they can't tell you why they like Obama, or articulate rational views about taxation (liking Obama but wanting rappers to keep all their money) then they have some learning to do. 97% of skin tones think the same way? What? 97% liked Obama, it doesn't mean that 97% are confused like your kids.
ammoman23 3 years ago
Being 97% the same in one category doesn't make you identical in every category. Even agreeing in the same direction 97% of the time doesn't mean that you are all doing it for the same reason i.e. your children liking Obama because he is black, while the black people I know voted for Obama because they liked his policies better than McCain's.
ammoman23 3 years ago
I think you are ever hopeful that the election was because people want to be taxed more, ok...some people want OTHER people to be taxed more, rather than the election being about human nature. I don't believe America as a whole believes if you achieve, you should be stripped of your top profits. When the "nasty" corporations throw up their hands and move, those Obama fans will be wanting to immigrate to where the jobs are. Obama won because of the guilt, abortion, and race vote.
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
I don't think that the election was about people wanting to be taxed more. Did I say that? I think the election was about fiscal policy, military intent, change (which is very relevant considering we are in an economic meltdown and McCain admitted to being economically slow, and his economic plans were criticized by his own party, and he voted 92% of the time with the incumbent) Independent studies showed that more Americans would see tax decreases w/ O than w/ Mc's plan. Black people know this.
ammoman23 3 years ago
Anytime politicians talk about taxing someone, it means as many as they can get away with. Those who make over $250,000...$200,000...maybe $150,000? This new Pres isn't sure yet.
We are in a slow down because people were encouraged to borrow more than they should. We are there because Iran has bullied us so that gas prices went to $4 a gal. People can't pay mortgages. Why did Iran bully? Because of anti-war groups!
CarribeanBeachbum06 3 years ago
I'm not sure how that related to what I said. You stated that I thought this election was about people wanting to be taxed more, so I told you what many people's issues of interest were. So I'm not sure what your implicit point was.
We are in a slow down for a plethora of reasons. The situation that we are in right now is so complex and dynamic that it is not just two contributing factors. Anyways, gas is high for many reasons too: weak dollar, speculation deregulation, slow production, etc.

Other than the race issue, Obama successfully played on people's envy of other's wealth. The result is that people voted to rob others of their money to pad their own wallets, justified because we now perceive a "normal" wage.
Some voted for Obama to get rid of the "Cowboy" Presidency yet Obama has yelled, "Bring it on!" to Al Queda by vowing to kill their messiah Osama.If you are for Peace, you DON'T make those comments.
I still am not seeing the "greatness"!!
