Journalists do not have to be neutral in their reporting - NEWSCASTERS do !
It does help credability for a journalist to be as beutral as possible but a true Journalist will find it impossible not to be swayed by the items he chooses to report on.
Cronkite and Murrow were great examples to which Olbermann aspires and hasnt done a bad job so far. When conservatives accuse Olbermann of lying they never seem to have any evidence of it and Olbermann is well known for admitting any mistakes.
"Special Comment" means he is set aside a section for his own opinion and the facts about which he bases it ... sad that you people can't see things it living color.
I'd rather watch Fox News' janitor do the news then this liberal asshole. I'm amazed he can keep his lips off Obama's dick long enough to do the news.
1 more thing, Islamic terrorists killed more than 600 Americans before Sept. 11. Many people think the first attack on America was on Sept. 11, 2001. it was not it started during the clinton years in 1993.Clinton treated the World Trade Center bombing as a criminal act instead of a terrorist attack, a big mistake that emboldened many other strikes the Khobar Towers housing complex in Saudi Arabia, in Kenya and Tanzania and later on the USS Cole while docked in Yemen in 2000 ect,ect,ect
@rightwingEagle Where did you get that? First of all, you have to go back to Reagan era, the Hezbollah bombing in Beirut? Then he exchanged US prisoners for weapons to Iran. G.H.W. Bush only demanded increase in sanctions against Lybia after Lockerbie. And you go on atacking Clinton? After ambassies he bombed Sudan and Afghanistan. He discovered Al Qaeda, he did what he could to put them out off business. In 1998 he issued CIA to kill Osama.
@hejcoze this just came out as i writting you a bin laden associate who was with him before and after 9/11 just came out in an interview and said bin laden did not expect gw bush to retaliate like we did osama was expecting they same weak response to terrorism just like the president before him BILL CLINTON thats f'n funny this guys name is Noman Benotman look it up osama was shocked by the united states response to 9/11
@rightwingEagle Clinton administration learned that Al Qaeda exists after Jamal Al-Fadl told them in 1996. After embassies Clinton bombed Afghanistan and Sudan. EVERYONE blamed that he was 'waging the dog' - scandal Monica was in full motion. Everyone was critisizing Clinton, that he wasn't dealing with 'issues'. After that he instructed Clarke and Tenet to form a way how to take down Al Qaeda. And left it to Bush to carry it out. Bush ignored that threat until 9/11.
@hejcoze ya your right with the wag the dog bull that just goes to show you damned if you do damned if you dont, i think if he had sent ground troops after al qaeda not just launching missles he would of looked a little more serious about going after al qaeda. clinton new about them before 1996. 1992 was the first attack against the usa then 1993 wtc bombing then they captured ramzi yousef in 1995 he was on the most wanted list in 1993 so they knew for pretty much his whole administration,
@rightwingEagle Again read 'Against All Enemies' by Richard A. Clarke. And as for the troops? Nobody outside Clinton adminitration and CIA didn't know what Al Qaeda really was, so sending troops to Afghanistan would be seen as act of agression, and further more, there was a plan to do that, but CIA couldn't pinpoint where is Bin Laden, and generals were against it, they just said "Why send troops after one guy?"
this is funny clinton tried, what are u kidding me oberdick,what did he do? oh wait that's right clinton let al-Qaida blow up u.s. embassys around the world,oh ya dont forget the uss cole oh almost forgot the 1st world trade center bombing and our wonderful president clinton did NOTHING!!!!!
I think you mean the "best" journalist in the USA, which I'm guessing the person who wrote the title was being sarcastic, because Olberman is not a journalist, but rather a partisan hack who just blurts out obscene opinions.
I agree that Hannity, as well as O'reilly are hacks, but so is Olberman. He spends the majority of his show degrading every conservative he can get his hands on isn't a hack. Is that really objective journalism? He is and always has been a "Commentator". Let's not forget it was Mr. Olbermann who was taken out of reporting from MSNBC's broadcast of the primaries for being blatantly biased towards the Democrats. MSNBC has become Fox's ugly liberal step-sister.
Wow, this guy is the biggest reatrd ever, scum bag go to hell, this guy is anti-American, he calls our troops cold blooded murdurers. Not to mention his massive problems with women, and accusastions women have made against him, he is the biggest pervert on earth. Leave America you animal!
hahhaha. I love how people accuse today's journalism of being left-wing and liberal. Today's journalism has asked NOTHING relevant of Bush. But when Clinton was in office, "jouralism" wanted to know anything and everything about Clinton's penis and how ti got sucked. Clinton's penis didn't wage war and kill people. I am part of the media and am ashamed that the it has give Bush such a pass! Where is the outrage?
Hmmm, well, let's see... Compare how much damage Al-Queada did (destroying the world trade center) to the Bush administration (creating the recession and spending 1trillion$ into a pointless war and ruining America's reputation in the world by using torture).
Olberman is not a Journalist, he is a political commentator. See how it says "Special Comment"? Comments are opinions. Like him or hate him, he is not a Journalist. MSNBC found out he couldn't even do a simple reporting/journalist role at the Democratic Convention without turning it into a commentary and that was not the place for it so he got yanked.
in the 9/11 commission report it stated that several of the hijackers motives was our support of israel. our involment goes back all the way to the shah of iran and over throwing the demorcatic government in iran, building bases in saudi arabia, spending the 90's bombing iraq, we also went into lebannon in the 80s. if we didnt have such a huge presence in the middle east there goes the motive for them to attack us
Hmmm."Nations policies do as much damage as al qaeda." Hmmm "Propaganda machine." Shame you weren't in 1 of the towers! I think you would pay (with our/American Tax dollars) to have all terrorists go through counseling. To find out why they don't like us! U are the worst kind of American Keith! You berate others that WORK THERE ASSES OFF for the safety & protection of the innocent citizenry of this country! U notice that we have not been hit again in 7 years? It's not cause they like us U ASS
jletts2, I disagree. You know, I had this long paragraph started, but I would rather address your statement. Please tell me what policies you are referring to? I would really like to understand your perspective better. Thank you! p.s. I still don't like KO. I think he does more harm to his cause then good.
Opinion here is Obermann's not a journalist but an Obama cheerleader. Cannot believe he's a dominant voice of MSNBC or any network for that matter. Perhaps the most self absorbed, arrogant, condescending person IN THE WORLD !!! He always seems so angry like most liberals. Was it his idea to refer to his own Commentary as
"Special?" If so, it's as if we alll better listen because we won't hear anything more enlightening from anyone else. He needs a hot cup of "get over yourself."
@sophia539 Great rant, but why is that in any way relevant? He's not the most arrogant person in the world, I am.
Secondly, show me where he, the most self absorbed, arrogant, condescending person in the world .. . . where was he wrong? Nowhere! Everything he says is true, ask anyone with more than five neurons.
It doesn't matter how do you feel about Keith Olbermann, the truth is the only thing that matters.
(And by the way, this video was made long before Obama)
@sophia539He speaks the truth. We are all fallible beings who are vain,and dark needing the light of the risen Lord God in us to prove Satan wrong,so we are not terrorists to each of us. Little do humans Know that USA is a terrorist too that taught others to be terrorists by teaching lies about God who is Jesus who die for us to save our soul.God never harmed anyone in the old testament, and is Jesus in the new.Satan wants us to be violent liars passing the buck so humans will not go to heaven.
Why Bush ignored the evidence is the fact that both Osama, and the USA are controlled by the same principality of darkness in high places which is Satan and the fallen angels wanting to eat us like we eat food. Human sacrifices will be the result of not bowing to the living loving God who made all that man did not make. Coming before that God with a broken, and contrite heart,and not a flag will save our soul.Then we will love all not wanting to hurt all being one in love to propagate heaven.
thats great someone telling the truth is an idiot and someone like bill o'rilly is the true journalist right well its a sad day in america that we can't think for our self's.
thats like asking water not to be wet. Journalists have opinions. everybody does its hard to remain unbiased when you're writing or saying anything that has to do with a controverisl issue.
Im an independent, with both conservative and liberal views, but this guy is no Journalist! I can tell you this guy is an entire clueless idiot. Probably the worst Journalist for speaking hearsays!!!
wow your an idiot if you think Olbermann is good. he spreads liberal propaganda with no factual basis and has no education in journalism. he used to be a sports announcer but got fired so failing MSNBC picked him up to do a joke, dumbass news show. Your a fucking moron.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Olberman the treasonous propagandist terrorist lover communist bag of shit. This man is the lowest form of human fucking life and any person that watches and likes him should be put to death before they reproduce and further corrupt the gene pool as their parents did.
Not only is Keith the most brilliant and brave journalist in America, the man is also a god. Very few people are born every century who are as talented as this one man.
Bwahahaha.....bwahahaha....seriously, have you seen Kieth Oldmann's ratings? IN THE TOILET Hes a loser and a pointy chin geek with a big nose. Lossssseeeerrrrr!!!!!
How old are you? I don't think your parents would approve of that sort of languange. Atleast pretend that you are an adult if you are going to comment. Your spelling is good.
Helmut, Bush is a disgrace from his dads sake as well! We, the United States should not be policing the world! PERIOD! I want the chance for our kids to have a decent paycheck and not pay for this stupid war in the future which I guarantee is coming!
Ok. What doesn't make sense about what Keith says? And by the way, even you couldn't say that sitting in silence for 10 minutes is a valuable use of time.
I think anything that Rod does that doesn't involve reducing the net knowledge in society is a good use of his time. His time is like nuclear waste, what it does doesn't have to be productive it just has to be nonharmful.
But Bush didn't even try with those eight months. Clinton tried his hardest all eight years. Bush got a notice that said, "Bin Laden determined to strike within U.S." and did absolutely nothing about it.
Clinton went through the motions and dropped a couple bombs on empty tents. Whoopee. Clinton's failures with Bin Laden are not something you should point to as successes.
Are you naive enough to believe the Clinton administration gave the incoming Bush administration the full story? I'm sure they really wanted to see a successful Bush Presidency. Give your hedd a shake.
Key words: "At least I tried. Bush did not try." How have you failed to understand that so far? I mean multiple people have said it multiple times.
Are you petty enough to think that the Clinton administration would tell the NSA and CIA not to share this information and stupid enough to believe that both organizations would comply? Of course it's the natural thought of someone like you to play childish pranks at the cost of national security.
Key words: "At least I tried. Bush did not try." According to who -Olbermann? Are you really that clueless. What else is the Drama Queen gonna say? He's trying to get you lefties watching him, he's going to say exactly what you want to hear. It's theatre, ffs.
It's hard news backed up with facts. You live in a fantasy world where reality is open to interpretation. How about you back up what you say with facts? Otherwise, I'm just going to ignore you.
helmuthedd: "Are you naive enough to believe the clinton administration gave the incoming bush administration the full story? I'm sure they really wanted to see a successful bush presidency."
There you are folks, right wing neo-con selfish prickishness at it's finest. Reasoning doesn't suit these people. They aren't hard working. They are nothing more than opprotunists who live by thieves' honor. Here's another diamond covered in oil that i got at the swap meet honey. You've earned it baby!!!
"Special Comment" should be called "Ten Minutes of Ownage." I see that someone commenting on this video called it a hissyfit, remarkably similar to the criticisms of Clinton's speech discussed in the video. Ironically both men spoke in remarkably controlled, professional tones of voice despite the president's acts of injustice, slander, and treason that would merit a punch in the face, if not criminal prosecution.
Who is he 'owning'? I've never seen him debate or discuss anything with anybody who doesn't agree with his producers. Yeah, he can beat up an Ann Coulter doll like nobody's business but how would he do against a live person?
It's too bad you lefties couldn't channel your Bush hatred and rage toward the terrorists. Isn't punching people in the face against your standard 'cut and run' philosophy?
I heard that the Ann Coulter doll was eventually revived and went on to kick Olby's wimpy, pathetic liberal ass offstage. Anybody seen that clip on youtube?
Sure most of the things he says on Countdown are already planned, but it doesn't change the fact that he destroyed Bush and the media outlets he uses in this clip.
Also lefties do try their hardest to stop terrorism, but unlike the Bush administration, they consider this a given and don't feel the need to brag about their hatred of terrorists in every comment. And finally, Ann Coulter is just a lying media whore. She doesn't even believe most of the things she says, she simply yells the most controversial things she thinks of so she can get some attention and sell plenty of books. If you actually believe her little sham, I'm terribly sorry for you.
Liberals aren't exactly giving the terrorists handouts. I'm going to assume you're talking about the torture issue. Ethical issues aside, by taking a stand against torture we show the world that we are the good guys. Like it or not we need allies to win the war on terror. And anybody who knows anything about the issue admits torture doesn't work. As John McCain said, real life isn't like "24".
Why do you libs feel you need the approval of the bureaucrats and dictators at the UN? Why are you so concerned what other people think? The US will never be the 'good guys' as far as a large part of the world is concerned. Who cares?
Our armed forces are collapsing. Thanks to Bush, pretty soon our survival is going to depend on what other people think. I'm not going to argue that the U.N. doesn't have problems, that's a hopeless battle. But if the U.S. gains more influence in that organization, we can put more pressure on those dictatorships.
If the survival of the US depends on the assholes in the rest of the world and the UN, you might as well fold up the tent now. You really are delusional if you believe the US can put pressure on these countries through the Useless Nations. The US already foots 22% of the total UN bill and gets treated like a leper.
You really want the US to have an influence on the UN? Cut the proportion the US pays to it's % of the world's population. Those assholes at the UN would start to appreciate the US a little more if that happened. Who gives a fuck what Bangladesh and the rest has to say? They ride for free.
Yeah, but we're richer than most other nations. You want Africa to pay its population percentage? Mind if they pay the bill in goats and used bullet shells? And I think the U.S. is treated badly right now because Bush sends the most braindead lackeys he can find as representatives. Not to mention the fact that the primary diplomatic strategy of these representatives is to storm angrily from the room when someone says something mean.
The point you are missing is that the US and other nations like Japan pay the freight for the UN and the asshole dictatorships are sitting on the commissions and pontificating anti-American bullshit while paying the cubed root of fuck-all.
The UN is a farce and should be treated as such. Appoint a retarded Democrat with his jaw wired shut to the UN. Bright people like Bolton are wasted there.
The U.S. is the richest country in the world, of course we pay more. You want African nations to pay their population's share? Mind if they pay with goats and empty bullet shells?
By the way- US military strength is still pre-eminent. It could wipe all the dictatorships in the world off the map and hardly put a noticeable dent in the bomb tonnage.
Yeah sure we could nuke every square foot of the planet several times over. You probably wouldn't have any problems with that, but the civilian casualties would upset most people. And knocking out dictatorships is one thing, nation-building and insurgency-suppressing are far more difficult. Just ask a soldier in Iraq.
EVERYTHING this clown says is planned and written by the producers. Olby is just the song and dance man, there to read the teleprompter and lap up the admiration of the 1200 clueless liberal dunces that constitute his audience. He has never had, and never will have, an original thought. He reads the political text with the same passion he would read the sports, if directed that way.
Ok, give proof for that. The truth is that the producers want him to devote the entire show to Britney Spears, Keith decides what to say, and he is a long-time liberal. Also, if you think that the 70-80% of people who disapprove of Bush constitute about 1200 liberals, do some research, kid. Finally he is more passionate than most real news anchors. I include the word "real" because I know that Bill-O screams like a girl every time he thinks about Mexicans or Hillary.
B.Even if he doesn't believe it (simple research will confirm he is a longtime liberal) at least somebody is saying it, so your argument doesn't even matter.
C.Viewers of liberal programming tend to be more intelligent than Bill-O's viewers. And if you think the 70-80% of the country that disapproves of Bush is about 1200 people, give your head a shake.
Let's see: Led the country through the most traumatic event in its history. Led coalitions to crush two of the world's most brutal dictatorships. Cut taxes. Vetoed an incredible amount of Democrat stupidity in the last year.
Led the country through 9/11? Okay so he stood at ground zero and babbled, "Bring it on!" Then invaded Afghanistan (Attacking people who attacked us? Brilliant! How does he come up with it?) And then he proceeded to run this country into the ground economically, politically, and morally.
So he did cut taxes at the beginning, I'll give him that. But he didn't veto anything for like 6 years while Congress wasted our money on useless programs and he wasted our money on war. America finally gets a balanced budget and the Republicans cut taxes, sending us back in the hole. He's used his veto like 3 times and one of them was on a non-binding (completely useless) resolution and the other was on a bill that took money away from cigarettes and gave that money to sick children.
To be fair that bill was another piece of idiotic socialism designed to benefit the "less fortunate", on $60,000 a year. Of course that leads to the question, why did he do it? It's not like he's against socialism for the middle class.
Yes Keith, thank you for reading the teleprompter so well. Thank you for another academy award performance disguised as 'journalism'. Your little hissy fits express the irrational Bush hatred among the kooks. Your ability to ignore the complete and utter uselessness of Pelosi/Reid/_______(insert idiot here) is amazing. Keep ranting while the lefties applaud. Your audience of 8000 is watching.
Len and all the republirats are retards! Bush wants how many more billions to fight the war in Iraq but cant support the Schip program!? How arrogant can you get! Screw each and every republican that meets me! Bush wants to attack Iran? How will that happen when we are in a monetary deficit?
The Democrats tried to expand the program to 'children' up to age 25 who are members of families who make up to $82k per year. That's what Bush vetoed, not the program itself. Try reading something other than youtube and you might learn something.
thank you for posting this. Don't concern yourself with the negative comments of the mentally challenged. You can lead a right-wing fanatic to truth, but you can't make him think. Vote out all incumbents!!
A rational and thinking person like myself can only stand the blatant bias and academy award stuff for a minute or two. It's like listening to Shrillary do her voices. It's like Hollywood - phony and hackneyed.
It's really just a song and dance routine disguised as politics. This is what Michael Moore does with his movies - give the idiots what they want, tell'em exactly what they want to hear and wait for the worshipping to begin. Yep, you guys are behaving exactly as expected.
Olby is just the song and dance guy. The choreography of the routine has been worked out by the producers. They know the audience they're after. If asked, Olby could read high school basketball scores to you with the same rage and conviction.
Of course the microscopic audience will continue applauding at any rant he is given to act out for you. You simply shut down any brain activity and wait for Olby (God to you) to read the stone tablets for you.
Keith olbermann being overly dramatic may just be a tactic to get peoples attention. His haircut is gay? That's not a crime or a sin. What is important is the substance of what he says, how well reasoned it is, how logical, and how well it is backed up. I agree with Nemesis000000 in that what Olbermann says is usually true.
ebt12- People would have to actually be watching him for the drama to work. Even a second-rate guy like O'Reilly is kicking Olby's pathetic ass in ratings. Yes, Olby has his family and a segment of kook-left believers, but he's no real threat to anybody.
i just want to point out that oreily only has the majority of the veiwers because of the nelson box system that we have which basicly is given to slect areas now if we had a real system to figure out who watchs what well then itd be much different i hope at least
Olbermann is a pussy. Look at him: he's the stereotypical bespectacled pasty-faced brie-eathing northeastern liberal faux intellectual. College faculties are full of these wimpy soft-handed empty suit leftwingers who have never done a day of real work, have never contributed anything to society.
Olberman is a drama queen, you guys are right about that. And yeah, his haircut is pretty gay, and he's probably not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
That changes nothing about the fact that everything he says is usually true, even if slightly exagerated.
Why dont you try to respond to what hes saying and not attack his character.
on Wallace - "bullied and sand-bagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster" - real factual
on Fox News - "propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose..." - more bullshit
on Clinton - " Mr. Clinton has taken forceful and triumphant action for honesty" Laughable, given Clinton's history as well as his actions involving Bin Laden.
This was only in the first couple minutes of his 10 minute kookathon. It's tailor-made to appeal to his audience of kook lefties. It's a simple formula - lash out at FoxNews/Bush/Cheney/Limbaugh and fellate Clinton. This little formula can't go wrong with the Bush-haters. Truth or analysis has nothing to do with any of this.
This isn't journalism. There is nothing of value or substance in any of what he says. There is no reasoning, facts or logical thought behind it - this is theatre, plain and simple. It's just emotionalism disguised as news to feed the hatred and rage of the audience.
Olberman is a loser. He has a fraction of the viewers as Bill O on Fox news. This guy cant get ratings so he always attacks Fox news and Bill O. Liberals are weak and cant hang with the big dogs
Boy the dumb trolls are out in force on this one, dancing the goose step on the keyboard.
They are literally frothing at the mouth with red herrings and very astute "yah yer mutha wears army boots" comments and trotting out the ole talking points through an angry bullhorn or horn for bullcrap.
Bush is a scumbag liar and will go down in history as the most inept and crook president in history. Quit believing all the propaganda people!!!! Wake up dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Olbermann is a journalist then I'm the King of England. This 10 minute rant may pass for 'reporting' or 'journalism' to you lefties out there, but Olby is just another dink in a $5000 suit with a fruity haircut reading a teleprompter.
NO, he CAN'T because the Liberals OWN & RUN NBC and MSNBC! But don't worry, their ratings are in the TOILET so it's only a matter of time before MSNBC is GONE! They're already down to Maybe 5 Produced Shows, the rest of the time they're showing "Feel sorry for Prisoner" programs and 4-6 Hours of Dateline Reruns!
i get so sick of seeing that twat read off a card, he's got a messiah complex and it makes his hyperbole, strawmen, and red herrings even less convincing
AMEN, over the past 5 months this clown has used the phrase "UN-named Sources" over 100 times... and we all know what that means, it means HE'S MAKING IT UP!!! MSNBC is months away from being yanked off the air and I say GOOD RIDANCE!! These morons can go stand in the unemployment lines with their AIR AMERICA pals!!
"we won you lost"...what world r u living in? America has already lost - the respect (whateve we had from r.o.w.) and will lose the war. all b/c of hitler jr's arrogance, lies, lies, lies...bottom line.
too bad our still brain washed licking his feet just like 1933 german nationals. he's a crook plain and simple. so you support a crook.
We Lost huh, tell that to all the HEROES fighting in Iraq! Tell that to the Iraqi Women that are no longer STONED for looking at Men! And if you hate AMERICA SO MUCH... GET THE HELL OUT!! Go live in Canada with the rest of the SOCIALISTS and DRAFT DODGING PUSSIES!! Pick up a Gun and wear a Uniform or LET OUR SOLDIERS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST --- KICK ASS!
I love when folks tell me to "GET THE HELL OUT" of my own country. Or imply that draft-dodging is cowardly. Here's what I believe to be cowardly: if you disagree with an armed military engagement, but the government commands you to fight -- to kill -- and you comply, for fear of imprisonment or of public dishonor or of violating some civil tenant. That is perhaps the most despicable act imaginable.
An army could not function if individuals could choose not to do as ordered. Armies are trained to act cohesively. Discipline and proper training make soldiers, not individualism.
This A-HOLE needs to go back to reading SPORTS SCORES because he has ZERO CREDIBILITY!! It's amusing, this MORON only brings people on his show that agree with him BECAUSE HE'S A COWARD and a HACK!! He can't even come up with a Sign Off line of his own.. he had to STEAL ONE!! F! this clown and MSNBC as well... and all 9 people that watch it!
I expect this kind of talk from a Liberal.. you have no argument, you are nothing but hate filled morons that are still WHINING because YOU LOST!!! Bush is sooo stupid isn't he.. well he was smart enough to BEAT YOUR ASS!!! Go read a book some time.. and sheep fucking, I wonder why that thought is in YOUR HEAD.. WE WON... YOU LOST.. GET OVER IT!!
OHHHH.. America created the Terrorists, tell me, did we create the 9/11 terrorists as well!? And boy, the stock market is doing SOO BAD.. and NOBODY is working and Iran would be a NICE FRIENDLY nation if not for America! WAKE UP, why was the WTC attacked in 93, why was the U.S.S. Cole attacked, why were two embassies bombed in Africa.. ALL UNDER CLINTONS WATCH? Tell ya what, if a terrorist knocks on your door.. just tell them you're a LIBERAL and they'll surely leave you alone!
yeah ppl who say those things like 9/11 was a conspiracy and all that dumb dont speak for the democratic party even thought political pundits like sean hanitty who as democrat i myself even says he is a disgrace to the GOP but we get what we get you know just like i dont think all republicans are racist like they say are so just leave at that and we will see who wins okay peace be with you my AMERICAN brother
I've asked many young men and women who have enlisted into the military "What made you decide to join?". Every one of them reply "9/11". If we are "creating" terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan, then the terrorists created those same brave defenders of our freedom. Seems like somebody miscalculated us.
another example of media manipulation. they pushed a pre-concieved agenda in the wake of a disaster. when everyone wanted to kick someones ass for sept 11, they swooped in with unproven ties to saddam.
Let's see Bush's 8 months versus Clinton's 8 years. Clinton tried??? The World Trade Center was bombed while Clinton was in office and how did he retaliate? The formor president sent a few scud missiles to an abandon terrorist camp.
There is nothing brilliant about lacking objectivity.

@hejcoze ya your right with the wag the dog bull that just goes to show you damned if you do damned if you dont, i think if he had sent ground troops after al qaeda not just launching missles he would of looked a little more serious about going after al qaeda. clinton new about them before 1996. 1992 was the first attack against the usa then 1993 wtc bombing then they captured ramzi yousef in 1995 he was on the most wanted list in 1993 so they knew for pretty much his whole administration,
rightwingEagle 1 year ago
@rightwingEagle Again read 'Against All Enemies' by Richard A. Clarke. And as for the troops? Nobody outside Clinton adminitration and CIA didn't know what Al Qaeda really was, so sending troops to Afghanistan would be seen as act of agression, and further more, there was a plan to do that, but CIA couldn't pinpoint where is Bin Laden, and generals were against it, they just said "Why send troops after one guy?"

I agree that Hannity, as well as O'reilly are hacks, but so is Olberman. He spends the majority of his show degrading every conservative he can get his hands on isn't a hack. Is that really objective journalism? He is and always has been a "Commentator". Let's not forget it was Mr. Olbermann who was taken out of reporting from MSNBC's broadcast of the primaries for being blatantly biased towards the Democrats. MSNBC has become Fox's ugly liberal step-sister.

Led the country through 9/11? Okay so he stood at ground zero and babbled, "Bring it on!" Then invaded Afghanistan (Attacking people who attacked us? Brilliant! How does he come up with it?) And then he proceeded to run this country into the ground economically, politically, and morally.
ihavechicken 4 years ago
So he did cut taxes at the beginning, I'll give him that. But he didn't veto anything for like 6 years while Congress wasted our money on useless programs and he wasted our money on war. America finally gets a balanced budget and the Republicans cut taxes, sending us back in the hole. He's used his veto like 3 times and one of them was on a non-binding (completely useless) resolution and the other was on a bill that took money away from cigarettes and gave that money to sick children.
ihavechicken 4 years ago
To be fair that bill was another piece of idiotic socialism designed to benefit the "less fortunate", on $60,000 a year. Of course that leads to the question, why did he do it? It's not like he's against socialism for the middle class.

They are literally frothing at the mouth with red herrings and very astute "yah yer mutha wears army boots" comments and trotting out the ole talking points through an angry bullhorn or horn for bullcrap.

If Olbermann is a journalist then I'm the King of England. This 10 minute rant may pass for 'reporting' or 'journalism' to you lefties out there, but Olby is just another dink in a $5000 suit with a fruity haircut reading a teleprompter.

NO, he CAN'T because the Liberals OWN & RUN NBC and MSNBC! But don't worry, their ratings are in the TOILET so it's only a matter of time before MSNBC is GONE! They're already down to Maybe 5 Produced Shows, the rest of the time they're showing "Feel sorry for Prisoner" programs and 4-6 Hours of Dateline Reruns!

We Lost huh, tell that to all the HEROES fighting in Iraq! Tell that to the Iraqi Women that are no longer STONED for looking at Men! And if you hate AMERICA SO MUCH... GET THE HELL OUT!! Go live in Canada with the rest of the SOCIALISTS and DRAFT DODGING PUSSIES!! Pick up a Gun and wear a Uniform or LET OUR SOLDIERS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST --- KICK ASS!
Okie7171 4 years ago
Wow, thanks for the original comment.
I love when folks tell me to "GET THE HELL OUT" of my own country. Or imply that draft-dodging is cowardly. Here's what I believe to be cowardly: if you disagree with an armed military engagement, but the government commands you to fight -- to kill -- and you comply, for fear of imprisonment or of public dishonor or of violating some civil tenant. That is perhaps the most despicable act imaginable.

Military service in the United States is voluntary.
Whether or not a soldier believes in the mission, they are required to perform their duties. M

Most military people understand that going in.

An army could not function if individuals could choose not to do as ordered. Armies are trained to act cohesively. Discipline and proper training make soldiers, not individualism.

I expect this kind of talk from a Liberal.. you have no argument, you are nothing but hate filled morons that are still WHINING because YOU LOST!!! Bush is sooo stupid isn't he.. well he was smart enough to BEAT YOUR ASS!!! Go read a book some time.. and sheep fucking, I wonder why that thought is in YOUR HEAD.. WE WON... YOU LOST..

Okie7171 4 years ago
Oh yes, Okie7171, and look at what you won:
- The federal surplus is now the biggest federal deficit IN HISTORY
- The War on Terror has inflamed anti-US sentiment all over the world, CREATING NEW TERRORISTS
- The situation in Iraq has degenerated from "Mission Accomplished" to "full scale, bloody civil war"
Congratulations, Okie7171. Just don't blame it on anyone else when the bill collector comes calling....

OHHHH.. America created the Terrorists, tell me, did we create the 9/11 terrorists as well!? And boy, the stock market is doing SOO BAD.. and NOBODY is working and Iran would be a NICE FRIENDLY nation if not for America! WAKE UP, why was the WTC attacked in 93, why was the U.S.S. Cole attacked, why were two embassies bombed in Africa.. ALL UNDER CLINTONS WATCH? Tell ya what, if a terrorist knocks on your door.. just tell them you're a LIBERAL and they'll surely leave you alone!

I've asked many young men and women who have enlisted into the military "What made you decide to join?". Every one of them reply "9/11". If we are "creating" terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan, then the terrorists created those same brave defenders of our freedom. Seems like somebody miscalculated us.

another example of media manipulation. they pushed a pre-concieved agenda in the wake of a disaster. when everyone wanted to kick someones ass for sept 11, they swooped in with unproven ties to saddam.

Let's see Bush's 8 months versus Clinton's 8 years. Clinton tried??? The World Trade Center was bombed while Clinton was in office and how did he retaliate? The formor president sent a few scud missiles to an abandon terrorist camp.
There is nothing brilliant about lacking objectivity.
