Keith Olbermann: Some Words on Freedom of Speech

[mjh012363]

Well Keith Olbermann I await your defense of Rev. Terry Jones free speech rights.

[rigatony019]

keith overbite, the man who like to urinate on himself under his desk is a sad sad joke of a political commentator and a person in general. an empty suit of a man. no heart no soul no brain

[Breeegz]

02:15 Playing Field tilted entirely to their Benefit

You mean like the major news networks and the current administration? Or the talks of "shutting down Fox News"?

I realize this is WAYY back in 2007, but I doubt Keith O would point the same finger at his Marxist Overlords..

[mykol13v]

Do you have an overbite?

[chuckle2010]

I'd rather hear the simple unbiased truth than af series of big words. Olberman needs to be fired already.... I'm sick of hearing this blowhard.

[CondorDM]

@chuckle2010 Sick of hearing the truth, I am not surprised.

[RREDDELL]

Keith, you failed @ ESPN. You are failing at MSNBC. Do yourself a favor. Get of the air and get a job that you might do ok in. 

lol you sir are a JOKE.

[CondorDM]

@RREDDELL No your the joke.

[DeathToAllReligions]

I have always thought Olbermann is as hyperbolic and much an ideological pants-shitter as Bill O'Reilly, but you really have to give him the credit he deserves.

Whoever writes his editorials has language and rhetorical skills wildly beyond the troglodytes at FuxNews. Those imbeciles just scream a sermon at their audience.

Olbermann at least makes the effort to form a fucking argument. Let's see Sean "Choir Boy" Hannity form an argument!

[HandsomePrick]

Does anyone know the classical song that they play on Olberman? The one that goes: Dada... Dada... Dada.

You know the one I mean.

[DaleHusband]

That's from Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 2nd movement.

[libertarianjury]

My criticism of Obama in the prior post should not be construed to indicate support for Bush or the "Republicans". The only decent Republican is Ron Paul, and even he is un-libertarian on immigration and abortion rights.

[libertarianjury]

I really strongly agree with Keith here. Keith's speech is incredibly libertarian. I wish Keith would have Wayne Root on his show so Wayne can blast the Republican AND Democratic Parties. I've also noticed that Olbermann often refers to HL Mencken, and is not ignorant of history. ...Good for him. Newt Gingrich is a fat ignorant bastard who has no clue what limited government means. ..Wow, just got to the part where he mentions the Manchurian Candidate. Awesome. Obamanchurian_Candidate LOL

[Jakearoo14]

Fuck keith and fuck bsnbc! Fox news pales in comparison to this political bullshit i find it absolutely unbelievable the crap they spew unreal. Go to hell nbc

[robmarcreed]

Way to form a coherent and informed rebuttal.

[Jakearoo14]

do i need i need to?

[HomemdaFaina]

yes "you do you do need to"

[bobbyblueyes6969]

when will political correctness let us call a communist a communist?

[LKtube1]

Too funny - he blogs on the worst web sites who exercise free speech by saying Palin's daughter wasn't hers. He supports dems who support the "fairness doctrine" which seeks to shut down talk radio. He knows nothing but what he reads on kooky web sites and regurgitates the crap the 21-year-old-live-with-mom losers wrote. Hey Obie, step into my office, you're f%$^*& fired. MSNBC will eventually have to send him packin' to salvage their reputation.

[MoarSpore]

Sources? I'd like to see this.

[LKtube1]

You can Google search and find:

- the Daily Kos promoted the lie that Gov Palin didn't give birth to her son

- Obie blogs there.

- You can Youtube search on fairness doctrine and learn about it. This is a dem party wet dream. Trust me, you might think it's cool to just shut up conservatives -- a party that will strip free speech is up to evil. If you think they will stop at conservatives, history would show otherwise. Get ready for Internet regulation too.

[fourheadfox]

can someone here explain to me when is a person or some a liberal. keith is just bricken it down and telling it

[thascreenmaster]

Kieth Olbermann is nothing more than a loudmouth liberal. His anti Bush rhetoric bores everyone and he seems to push his views on the show far too much. Not that I ever watch the show. Occasionally i pass by it and that's the interpretation i get. Now he's been booted from the show because of poor ratings & other reasons more than likely. Olbermann Bush is more of a man and leader than you could ever be.

[MoarSpore]

Have you heard of this guy name Bill-O? Also, last I heard he got a four year contract in 2007 for his show with MSNBC.

[thascreenmaster]

Yes I have heard of Bill O. Nice of you to jump off the talking point of Kieth O. I'm not aware of any four year contract. Bill works for Fox News. Anyways lets try to stay on target next time. Fact is Kieth O is a loser and that's why he got the low ratings and eventually got the boot.

[SwampDog1957]

Free speech? All I've heard from this guy would indicate that he is educated far beyond his level of intelligence.

He sounds like an angry sewage salesman with a mouth full of samples.

[mlmgoldmineisunfair]

He loves listening to himself. I watch him just to get a good daily laugh...at how such a turd gets such a joy from reading a piece of paper...LOL! People actually pay him for this!!!  I love this country!

[MoarSpore]

Reading his own piece of paper? You mean teh sheet of paper that has everything the other guy said on it?

[ThisIDig]

Olbermann makes my skin crawl...He is a great non-fiction broadcaster that mixes in enough truth to effectively mislead people (supposedly the "intelligent" elite).

What Olbermann doesn't realize is that his freedom of trash-talking would evaporate if the national security measures endorsed by

Gingrich weren't there to wipe his bottom.

[stewyjmu]

i like olbermann. i like free speech. i'd like to keep my freedoms.

[kraythe]

Keith oberman would broadcast the precise position of troops on international TV heedless of providing intel to the enemies. He is a piece of crap that should be exported to Iran or Russia where he will be more comfortable.

[MoarSpore]

You realize that Russia isn't a communist country anymore, right?

Idiot.

[IconArt]

What a dickless fag....

[uilleannaddict]

I cannot watch Olbermann.

[Tmetrvlr]

He IS "Vomitus Maximus". He's the SAME ahole who leaked Ditka's firing the day before it actually happened on ESPN, When he was the bete noire reporter there. Many of his collegues at ESPN, MSNBC couldn't & can't stand him, So THUSLY, It's no surprise.

[eheister2006]

This guy is a piece of Shit

[eheister2006]

i want to smash this guys stupid face in.

[jheiss430]

Keith Olbermann sucked on ESPN and he suck's now. Even the democrates want him to shut the f**k up!!

IDIOT. I would love to see the debate between Bill O'reilly and this fat head.

SHUT UP!!!Your hurting us...

[Tmetrvlr]

Keith Olbermann eats penis stew.

[BruthaBooJee]

That is true, but you forgot to tell the people the most important ingredient. He adds extra PUSSY sauce, and if you dont tell the people what he adds than how will they know?

[Tmetrvlr]

ROFLMAO!!!!!. Good one!!!!!!.

[Tmetrvlr]

But if it's from a vice versa of a she-male?????.

[caydenscott]

Interesting that he criticizes Newt for "the way to save America is to destroy America"...if he were to do his job and report the news, America would quickly find out that that this is what the liberals are seeking to do. He knows the truth, but abuses is role as reporter to promote communist propaganda. What a coward, what a hypocrite.

[RedNevermore]

lol at people on here who think not agreeing with Conservatives automatically makes someone "un-American".

Opinions, not everyone has yours.

[zanbell392]

It's interesting to look at these comments and see the hate flowing out of them. You don't have to like Olbermann, but those of us who are liberals have to put up with people like "Mr. Stay Puft" Sean Hannity, or that beautiful American, Bill O'Reilly, so I think things tend to even themselves out. We don't have to agree, but screw you if you think that we are not "American". I wonder if Barry Goldwater would think that you all are being good conservatives, or just some kind of Neo-Fascists? Hmm

[billlumbergh987]

I love 'Countdown to No Ratings'. I watch it every night.  Thank you Mark Levin, for turning me onto this.

[stowse]

Hey Overbite - aren't there any more wanna-be female groupies with a bag of viagra you can chase.. resume your limpness.. and avoid at all costs?

At best - I'd give you half an hour with my blue ribbon female pot-belly pig.

X-mas in August!!!

[mikepiazza]

Keith Oberman... Liberal piece of shit!

[marinegrunt0341]

This is funny. Olbermann, who belongs to a party that is most responsible for the destruction of freedom of speech, is blasting Gingrich for what he said about freedom os speech. By the way his party and Barack Obama support the fairness doctrine which seeks to regulate what is said over the airwaves

[diestamperdon]

Is it just me or...if you put a small square mustache under the nose of Keith Oberman...

Naaa... it couldn't be... that fascist pig killed himself after propagating another country into believing that the "Socialist Workers Party" was a good thing. Four years later, that same country was turned into a pile of rubble. Don't ever try to climb into my foxhole Keith... it will surely be the last second of your life.

[msGiantPH]

notice: as always liberals must present their lies without showing the context in which the words were states. Olberman is a joke. He believes that we not capable of listening to the sound bites that he describes so he reads them for us out of context.

[jiajr]

Olberman: You are complete idiot and a communist. Move out since you hate America so much.

[elliemay46]

You are the most biased news caster on t.v.Go work for Obama creep

[s7rugg1es]

Goebbelmann!

[johprebla]

Olbermann should not be portrayed in any way as a journalist or reporter. He is a Democratic commentator. Everything he says carries that bias.

[95cooks]

I mean talking about.

[arslp]

95cooks,

You'll have to forgive me - but I can't figure out who he would be talking about. I'm so baffled by the words my mind can't even comprehend who, no matter what, would have deserved what happened. My best friend lives in NYC, and her husband helped at Ground Zero. It was a couple of days before I could get through to her. That was just such a devastating time. Perhaps I'm just too emotional to reason well, but cannot figure out that remark.

[95cooks]

...I didn't know anything about his political leanings as he was basically out of work and did not yet have his TV show on MSNBC.I assumed, like the rest of us there, he might have some kind of bonding over the whole shocking attack on the US. Most people found a common sense of community, no dems or repubs, even here in NYC.So I asked him what he thought of that day.I will not forget his response. He said the b--ch So and So got what she deserved. You figure out who he was talking to.

[95cooks]

Imagine a person who represents the biggest network TV station in the world -NBC - slandering a public figure by calling him "an arsonist"? It's unthinkable that NBC would hire him and not fire him for these comments or for not demanding he make an apology. Always remember that this -- biased and nonfactual reporting -- is what NBC is.Plus he doesn't understand history, as his commentary shows.

[arslp]

95cooks,

You are absolutely correct. It is yellow journalism at it's finest. The bias with which NBC has resorted to is absolutely appalling. Katie Couric might as well just say "Vote for O".

The rantings of this man are absolutely so juvenile that they would be offensive to me even if I agreed with him. He has gone over the top so many times he is quickly becoming someone no one wants to hear.

[95cooks]

Want to hear another one? On the weekend following Sept. 11, 2001, I was on Greenwich street in NYC among a small crowd - all of us stunned to see the wreckage of the WTC just a few blocks away. I noticed a dishevelled-looking guy with a familar sounding voice speaking into a recorder.I walked towards the man and it was Keith Olberman. I said hi and asked how things were going - I liked him on ESPN years ago.He told me he was freelance reporting to some radio station on the West Coast...

[nitewolf3008]

I think keith olbermann likes to have sex with animals

[arslp]

Thank you Keith Olbermann for being on the side of the democrats. That's a true Republican asset.

[antonzap]

I was a fan of Keith's, but his rantings have made him just as bad as Bill O'Reilly. And he has embarrassed himself during the political convention coverage on MSNBC. I'm moving on Keith, maybe you should too.

[DarthMai]

What a bunch of Baloney. Keith, you Democrat tool of brainwashing. Why not let us hear what he really said instead of reading a script of the DEmocrats. Republicans offer more freedom than Democrats. Democrats is like a drug dealer, getting you hooked on government handouts and remain poor.

[a77mercury]

there is a reason the Piggie people don't like Keith. too smart for them. actually knows history. doesn't take crap from the idiots running the GOP. the repug bullies can dish it out but they can't take it. go Keith.

[Noiseaz]

Thank you Keith!

[alaplumb]

The whole MSNBC staff is so hard to watch. Olbermann acts like a fuckin teenager and that stupid bitch on the moring show that acts like ed mcmann did for johnny carson hangs on every word of that queer from pensacola,Fl. that she anchors with. Damn no wonder their rating suck. Pat B will say anything to get on a tv show and feel imporant....he wants to be president so bad he cant stand it. democrats destroy themselves and divide their party...that why they loose elections..they cant get along!!

[ENCOMAN]

Mr Keith Olbermann Is do disingenuous to the public. I give him a F-

[jace0501]

Oberon, strikes...............out, again. FAIL

[formerpub]

Keith is the worst type of journalist in the world. Keith is the anchor. Speech in America is free. Yelling Fire in a theatre is reckless. Using The anchor position is as he does is akin to yelling fire in a theatre, dangerous. In short, not only is keith a dimbulb; he is feeding a dormant gene in MSNBC viewers which will be the equivalent of inbreeding. Deliverance ought to be the name of his show. Keith took one too many serious blows (who knew) to the head ( coincidental pun, unintended)

[tazedbrotwo]

Keith is the guy in high school that mouthed off to everyone and in practically every class the teacher would grab him by the ear and march him down to the principals office for a paddling and all Saturdays spent in detention.

[Oceanica22]

Freedom of speech is NOT negotiable

The right to speak and to hear others speak.

The right to learn and to decide for yourself what you want to think, hear and say instead of others deciding that FOR YOU.

Freedom of speech is educational, sometimes offensive, creates solutions and prevents violence. Suppression of opinions destabilizes a society on the long run and shuts it down, freedom is then gone.

[az101010]

let ann coulter speak freely..

[roastbeefdinner]

olbermann is an asshole..nuff said!! notice he doesnt show any footage?, he goes to the clipped transcripts that is edited? hehe this asshole and his boss dan abrams..soon to be unemployed..even PBS shows get better ratings..good bye you out of shape jerk!! hehe i threw that one in cause he once was a sports reporter..

[dianeliebowitz]

I guess if I was your censor...you'd be in cuffs...but I live a far better life than you in your tiny little mind.

[jneveau85]

Have you read the transcripts of what Gingrich said? What did Keith omit that would change the meaning of the speech? Let me tell you something: Newt said everything, in the context Keith presented it, and Keith is right to be pissed about it.

[formerpub]

Keith would be pissed if his chauffeur failed to make more left turns than right on the way to and from the sale at Blockbuster.

[freighttrain777]

Keith Olbermann ROCKS.. he's got balls and he's HONEST! I respect that in a man, need more like him.

[formerpub]

Keith is one who brooks no interference by fact or logic. Well meaning, perhaps but dumber than a box of rocks. That is the shame.

[vjohn16]

@freighttrain777

Are you serious? hahaha. More people on the air like Keith Olbermann? Isn't one bad enough?

[talktal]

you obviously are scared of the truth. enjoy living in ignorance.

[TheChameleons73]

This guy is a real freedom fighter.I bow to thee...No rival for Olbermann when it comes to politics.(Faux news is a bad joke).

[BeatBuddy]

Bill O'Reilly is no match for him either. O'Reilly may have the lure of personality (I find him more annoying than Nancy Grace.), but it's Obermann who is better at articulating ideas. Further, Obermann doesn't have to spin.
