Champion NHL Hockey Goalie Snubs Obama White House Ceremony

[Htbk27]

And because of one tea part persons actions classify the whole group. That's like saying because one black guy is a gang banger they all must be. Fucking brainwashed pussy grow some balls because these people are standing up for your rights, not just theirs.

[Htbk27]

Fuck this guy. And fuck obama even more. No law says you must do as the president says. No law says you have to show the president respect. Evil dictator Obama has become.

[cerebus2099]

Teabaggers are killing cats now, yep those are the folks who i want in control of this country. But remember, they're the victims.

[cerebus2099]

Funny how it's ok for some, but not ok for say the Dixie Chicks. The entitlement mentality on these tea baggers is something massive. Get over yourselves, get a life, and maybe read a book from time to time, then you might realize you're acting like fools.

[438doug]

Tim is my hero...

[TheSavageGospel]

Good for him Ron Paul 2012!

[cvetko5]

i hated this fag when he was on sundaynightfootball and now i hate this guy even more as a person what a goof

[GoodVibezin]

I would definitely take a tour of the Whitehouse, especially the Lincoln bedroom. Order a case of beer and a couple hoes and I'd be a happy camper.

[bunkermunk]

Sound's like Olberman would have sucked Hitler's dick for a tour of the Reichstag.

[chzlovesmal]

This guy's a fuckin moron. NEW WORLD MEDIA.

THOMAS IS RIGHT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING.

[NecessaryForce]

Oberman is an idiot

[tehdouglas1]

I VOTE OBAMA TODAYS WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD FOR DESTROYING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND ALLOWING THE SECRET DETAINMENT OF US CITIZENS.

[AmericanResponses]

@tehdouglas1 If its a secret then how do you know about it?..lol..Oh wait its because the Republican Congress passed the damn thing! Truth is a bitch ain't!!

[tehdouglas1]

What an idiot, sometimes Keith is funny so I check him out but this whole section is just bsing.

[RebelRouserMC]

Big words from a socialist.

[UnderseaCaveman]

KO is a HUGE DOUCHE......who's the biggest douche, KO or LO... (Lawrence O'Donnell).

[qtutoringhelps]

Olbermann should be selling pencils out of a gutter.

[shadowbankers]

the 3 presidents he mentioned were assholes...no surprise

[SloterMFmeyer]

Olbermann cowers in the presence of the führer. Any führer.

[Krissj100]

WTF? Some hockey player acting like a dick is worse than the psychopath that murdered a cat?

[jdog101d]

Notice how Olbermann stops the quote at "... about politics or party." when that wasn't even the end of the sentence and it really went like: " This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country."

Keith is such a dunce, just more victimization for Obama.

[tehKap0w]

@jdog101d i don't think Keith was painting Obama as the victim, as much as the rest of the team. Way to be a team player and steal the spotlight from everybody elses hard work.

[jdog101d]

@tehKap0w If he did steal the spotlight then that's the media's fault for paying more attention to his action rather then the fact the team got to meet the president. But you have to hand it to them, an action of civil disobediance by a public figure is a lot more interesting then another photo op for the president. And honestly, who actually believes Obama cares about hockey anyways!

[tehKap0w]

@jdog101d i'm not hating, just explaining what i thought Olbermann meant.

if this is how he wants to use his 1st amendment rights, i won't begrudge him for it one bit.

however, if i were this guys teammate, i might have a different opinion =)

[jdog101d]

@tehKap0w Yeah I guess you have a point. I actually happen to be a bruins fan and I watched the stanley cup championships, and if it wasn't for this goalie i have serious doubts that team would have had the oppurtunity to visit the white house. So although I'm sure the team might have wanted him to join them, they probably respect his opinion, and never in a million years would think he's not a team player!

[DowellForPASenate]

If you do the exact opposite of what Olbermann says, you'll end up doing well in life.

[mariomoose]

Tim Thomas doesn't want to go to the white house, so what, are you going to force him? Who cares.

[alteredbeasts]

90% of Americans would have no idea who this guy was without this story.

[MagicKirin]

Obermann you were an idiot on ESPN and NBC sports and the U.S does not want or need to listen to haters like you.

Go back under your rock and take Maddow and Schultz with you.

[dontfwithme2010]

keith needs to get rid of the dorky buddy holly glasses, and go back to his stylish silver rimmed glasses, or get contacts. he looks like vomit with these glasses.

[mocthezuma]

Shameful, just shameful. And I'm not talking about the hockey player. How can turning down an invitation to the white house be worse than murdering a cat? You got these in the wrong order.

[Boomer1949]

@mocthezuma Turning down an invitation to our country's center of government is an honor! The history within the walls of the White House is reverent to those who know it's history and love this country. To walk the same floors of Teddy Roosevelt, or JFK, or Lincoln. I can imagine any patriotic citizen flippantly dismissing such an honor because they don't approve of the current resident, it's dishonorable.

[mocthezuma]

@Boomer1949 It's still worse to kill a cat. And it's just a house. A lot of American presidents have been bad people. Washington kept slaves, JFK cheated on his wife and the Bushes, well, they're just insane. Obama is one of the better ones, at least in recent times, but I would still tell him to call back when the Guantanamo base is closed and all the wars are over. Not going to the white house is not dishonorable. Swearing to uphold the constitution, and then voting for the patriot act is.

[Boomer1949]

@mocthezuma It's not about the man in the house, at least it isn't to me and that's why I understand what Oberman is saying.

[in5d]

Olbermann loves kissing Obama's ass

[BIGBABYZIP]

I WOULDN'T WANT TO GO SEE THAT TRADER. HE NOT OUR LEADER. HES THE BANKS LEADER. HE MORE OF A KING. IT;S NOT THE WHITE HOUSE. IT'S THE MOCHA HOUSE.

[mocthezuma]

@BIGBABYZIP Well, if he's into trade, then working with the banks seems about right...

[FurleyVision]

The main problem in this country is people caught up in this ridiculous game of good cop/bad cop we call a 2 party system democracy and you are perpetrating the continuance of that evil scam. And then you tell stories about your visits to the White House like you are some 12-year old girl that just met Justin Beiber. Gross! You are NO BETTER than Glenn Beck himself... you are both putrid propagandists for the military industrial complex and Goldman Sachs. certainly NOT on the side of the people

[FurleyVision]

I left this on Keiths Facebook. "Really? Of all the horrid evil creatures in this world that are lying, stealing, torturing and murdering innocent people all over the globe you pick as your worst person in the world a hockey player who went with his conscious and refused to enter the house that is the symbolic source of these evils? Not only that you cut off his quote to make him look like some rabid right winger when he actually... said BOTH parties are to blame.... (cont'd)

[cookiesnmilk1]

Fuck you Keith...that is all...

[FurleyVision]

Keith is no better than Beck himself, this is a gross LIE... Here is the rest of the quote after he cuts it off to make up some shit about Glen Beck and paint him as a right-winger: " in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL. This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic."

[deathbyzza420]

I believe he was referring to the 5th amendment which was repealed by NDAA, WHICH WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY OBAMA FUCKWIT!

[Dadge42]

wtf is this guys problem. what a moron. just as bad propaganda as fox news.

[rody607]

How does this guy have a fucking job

[progresIVOMind]

Ehh Fuck hockey...

[cravin16]

He should have went to the WH just to let Obomber know how he feels. That would have been enough reason to go.

[CasadoresDelVient0]

The white house represents corruption, go back to ESPN loser

[mezzadam1123]

olbermann is such an ass kisser

[GeneralGhost]

You guys are idiots, you can hate the president all you want but you better respect that office that he represents. To not accept a official invitation is as unamerican as it get. I dont care what party u support.

[MatthewBMany]

I went to the white house before they closed it all off... it isn't very impressive. Olberman is a Presstitute who needs to get a real job or retire.

[batchplz1]

Obama stopped being the leader of the free world when he signed NDAA.

[BookofNick]

Maybe Tim Thomas just didn't want to go to a naked party - after all, Emperor Obama wears no clothes.

[PalmTrall]

Olberman needs to just get it over with and get on his knees and suck Obama cock.

[scottl1155]

Bet he'd eat crumpits wif hilter too, fucking cocknose

[kjb86]

Go fuck your daddy's mouth, Olbermann

[intothevoid81]

Seriously? He puts a hockey player who didn't attend a ceremony above s guy who mutilated some kid's cat?

[hardkoregamer999]

any one who doesnt go to the white is the best person in the world!

up yours keith!

[Bonsse88]

I have a new respect for Tim Thomas

[AmericanResponses]

@Bonsse88 The guy is a NUT and so is Beck. Thomas would have no problem going if Bush was still there still spending. Thomas has just got too many hard shots to the head. What the excuse is for Beck and the rest of that Tea Party is simply that ignorance,bitterness,fear and good old bigoted hate rules... soooo damn the truth.

[Pulpgimp]

Bruins. Pure class, but only if you ask Bostonians.

[EFunkRock]

I respect Keith Olbermann but he's a hypocrite in this one. If Tim Thomas snubbed the White House when Bush was in office, KO would be praising him for practicing his first amendment right to boycott something that doesn't support his beliefs. If anyone cares: I've never supported Bush and believe that him and his entire administration are war criminals the current White House basically blessed with amnesty from all accountability during their reign of terror. In short, it's Tim Thomas' choice.

[LongueTiedNoLunger]

@EFunkRock Exactly. During the Dubya Bush years, he'd praise people - especially athletes - who snubbed "the office of the president."

[EFunkRock]

@LongueTiedNoLunger Yep and I agreed with him the entire time. You can't have it both ways. There has to be consistency present.

[ShadowSandy]

Anyone who can rank someone turning down an invitation to the white house as worse than a person who kills a family pet gruesomely to "send a message", needs to think about their priorities. This was just stupid.

[LongueTiedNoLunger]

Did Olbermann share his disgust during the Dubya Bush years when some athletes did the same thing?

[EFunkRock]

@LongueTiedNoLunger No. He openly praised them. Hell, I did too. The difference is that, with me, I'm consistent. If Tim Thomas didn't want to go to the White House that's his prerogative. I feel the same way about Tim Thomas snubbing Obama the same way athletes boycotting the White House during the Bush era and protesting the War In Iraq (e.g. Carlos Delgado). It's their choice and that's that. At least Tim explained why in an honest, nonpartisan, eloquent statement. He could've just been mute.

[MrFmmcosta]

The player was just saying that he didn't do it because he is republican or whatever.... LOL

[sheepOG]

Just the Presidents he mentions give it away: Lincoln (genocidal racist) and the Roosevelts (genocidal, narcissistic racists).

Keith just loves the thrill of his state religion... Can't you feel it too?

[snowbeach1981]

HEY KEITH ... FUCK YOU !!!

[IggyInBurnaby]

Tim Thomas's statement is BANG ON. Olbermann, you are an establishment sheepie. IGNORE!

[Dane42o]

@IggyInBurnaby How is it bang on? He says he wasn't going because he disagrees with all the govt. policies, yet it isn't about politics? It's an oxymoron.

[IggyInBurnaby]

@Dane42o If you read his entire statement, he makes it very clear that he isn't protesting one party or the other, he is protesting BOTH parties, which have gotten the US into the mess that it is in. He is trying to make the point that he isn't right or left. This is very hard to understand for most Americans.

[Dane42o]

@IggyInBurnaby and how is that not political?

[vinmorin]

Tim, I'm moving you to the top of my favorite goalies in the NHL.

[mokita86]

I would love to see the rooms where Lincoln, FDR, T.Roosevelt, Kennedy and many others faced insurmountable tasks and shaped the world as it is today, and I'm a Canadian! Why can't this guy just visit the epicenter of power in the capital of his country?

[CO2Junkie]

Well let's be honest, no one has ever bragged about a Hockey player for being smart.

[TekkGnostic]

this guy is annoying. his exaggerated fake emotional reponses are especially obnoxious. it sounds like going to break down fake crying at any moment, like the liberal version of glenn beck. gag.

[MrSethAction]

Bow before "those guys"

[tjohn1986]

U mad Olbermann?

[sheepOG]

Here are Olbermann's true colours, for all to see. Some have said this all along, most looked the other way.

Keith is a fucking statist and he hates your guts.

[starkweather444]

@sheepOG Paultard drinking game calling someone a statist take a drink.

[sheepOG]

@starkweather444 Anti-Paul Troll Drinking Game: drink every time you call someone Paultard/Paulbot/Paulite.

Next you'll tell me that Atlas Shrugged is my bible and that I'm throwing away a vote I will never even cast.

[starkweather444]

@sheepOG I don't give a shit who you vote for, like that makes any difference.

[sheepOG]

@starkweather444 You don't give a shit, yet you seem to think that I'm a Paultard and care enough to call me one.

You're now even assuming that I vote.

Anti-Paul trolls are as dumb as ever.

[AmericanResponses]

@sheepOG So are you some kind of Anti-statist which is another word for Anarchist which has been taken over by white supremacists? ...lol

Don't tell me anti -racism is anti white..lol

[sheepOG]

@AmericanResponses I am a person who likes the free market. Voluntary actions always trump force.

The rest of your comment doesn't make much sense I'm afraid.

[AmericanResponses]

@sheepOG He was exercising is ignorance...which is fine but so is the criticism. "free market"?...lol Free market has not existed for 100 of years and NEVER in American history. As long as you have monopolies and governments like China there is no free market! And what I said makes perfect sense ...if you are not a statist then you are an anti-statist.  Maybe you don't know the meaning of the word or know nothing of the political anti-statist racist movement but it is all over youtube

[sheepOG]

@AmericanResponses I'm glad you at least acknowledge that we don't have a free market. Not many statists on Youtube will admit to that.

I know what an anti-statist is. I just don't see what "white supremacy" and "anti-racism is anti-white" have to do with it. That's why it didn't make sense to me.

[seeqr9]

Spineless sensationalist.

[Ohrela]

Keith obviously is misguided in his judgement. How does one consider it worse to not show up to an event at the white house presumably because he does not support a president who reneged on nearly every campaign promise and continue to do the bidding of his corporate financiers, than to try and omit pertinent parts of American history or killing a child's cat. How far exactly do you have to have your head buried in the democratic parties posterior to come to that conclusion?

[swat420]

this guy is a pussy and his show sucks

[zsha68]

@swat420 Yet here you are, dumb fuck.

[swat420]

@zsha68 here i am skull fucking your mom

[zsha68]

@swat420 Then give it to her twice, since that's the only way she's gonna get 8 inches, pencil dick.

[swat420]

@zsha68 why are you thinking about my dick? what kind of gay shit is that lol.

[kanukster]

Kieth has Obama pj's and drinks Obama flavour Koolaid from an Obama sippy cup!

[zsha68]

@kanukster He's not in love with Obama, you dumb fuck.

[kanukster]

@zsha68 Are you of jealous douchebag?

[wmarcus1203]

Keith Olbermann bearing false witness against the minds and souls of men who lived over 230 years ago

[ChildofYeshua777]

Olberman pees under his desk!!!

[zsha68]

@ChildofYeshua777 And you drink it.

[ChildofYeshua777]

@zsha68 Fuck yeah I do!!!

[goonerLIFE1]

yeah. you have to automatically become an excited fangirl when ur invited to the white house? theres more honor in going to mcdonalds

[Boomer1949]

@goonerLIFE1 You missed the point entirely, as did those who thumbed up your stupid ass comment. If you love this country and all it stands for, it's history, it's accomplishments, then part of that love extends to the White House, regardless of who is the current resident. History has been made in those rooms, to walk the same floors, to touch the same door knobs of some of our most revered representatives and commanders, is indeed an honor.

[kanukster]

Good for you Tim!

I wouldn't want to get to close to Obama and Moochaela either!

Barry would probably try to pick his pockets!

[wmarcus1203]

Good for that Hockey player!! FUCK OBAMA 

[TheTruthBomb]

I think the cat killer is far worst than the guy who didn't want to meet Obama, I couldn't choke back my spit back for either him or Bush.



[snipzor]

@TheTruthBomb Keith probably isn't a Bruins fan, and who could blame him, they're cunts.

[snipzor]

Fuck the Bruins, and fuck everyone on that team. Not for this mind you, don't be silly, but because that team is made up of absolute cunts.

[imarocksinger]

@snipzor amen.

[TheTruthBomb]

@snipzor

I don't do sports and Liberals who do sports are like gay republicans imo.

[snipzor]

@TheTruthBomb I don't do sports, but it doesn't take someone who watches hockey to at least have heard of the reputation of the Boston Bruins as being unsportsmanlike cunts who have no respect for the game or the other team or their health.

[NorthsideEtown]

is this the worst show ever, man im glad i dont watch tv

[IggyInBurnaby]

@NorthsideEtown hear hear!

[razerfish]

This clown calls the hockey player the worst person in the world for not visiting the White House? Go fuck yourself, Olberman.

[SteveAngelis]

@razerfish Tim Thomas is already a shit head. This just adds to it.

[YouSayYouWantA]

I've got a favorite hockey player now!

[KendrickMan]

Apparently the greasy Bruins have a bit of class between the posts.

[mmanouvelles]

Media usually complains about athletes that do not care about issues and live in their own bubble. Everyone off them that are bitching on Thomas should be ashamed.
