Countdown: Worst Person August 19, 2008

[IoEstasCedonta]

"Nobody's life should be threatened, not even in the hyperbole of the moment."

So get out your pitchforks and torches, folks!

(Seriously, not that I think Olbermann means that at all seriously, but neither did the rappers; did he think this through at all?)

[bravakh]

@IoEstasCedonta The meaning of the phrase "Get out your pitchforks and torches" is about public outrage, an angry mob running someone out of town. Similar to the tar and feathers in Lucky Luke comics.

Newt 2012 lol

[plexxiss]

Hurdygugurgurk

[kingmarck1]

"Besides, you are rappers, you have better ethics than Bill O'Reilly does. Live up to them, don't live down to him. Word to your mother." LMAO!!!!

[kingmarck1]

"Exxon Mobile did not make eleven billions dollars in the second quarter selling freakin' air, Newt!!"

[integral]

"Word to your mother"!

Almost rolling on the floor, but definitely laughing my ass off.

[Tendoking]

I was in the middle of eating fries and a burger; I almost choked.

That was good.

[AnarchoFeminist]

@integral He's so white I love it.

[emichik86]

Keith is the mann!

[rowdycmoore]

So Keith basically says that, as much as he hates O'Reilly, he does not wish death on him. This is the primary difference between "looney left-wing liberals" and the neo-cons who support guns, war and the death penalty and threaten to kill anyone who disagrees with them while CLAIMING to be "pro-life."

rowdycmoore:

The way I see it, the difference between Olbermann and O'Reilly can be summed up thusly; Olbermann uses facts, logic and reason to support the left, while O'Reilly uses his extremely loud voice and over-infalted ego to support the right. Olbermann also isn't nearly as left leaning as O'Reilly is right leaning and, unlike O'Reilly, he has enough of a sense of humor to, for example, put himself on his 'worst persons' list. He did... Look up 'Olbermman names himself worst person'

[rowdycmoore]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Keith may be even funnier and more entertaining now than when he was on SportsCenter

[plago12]

Animated prop, lol...

[ehjhockey2000]

i love that reporter as i love anybody who disses bill o'riley who needs be forced to stop talking

[Rashaed]

"Word to your mother..." that is too funny!

[Salvatrucho213]

This is the problem with Americans, everything is all peace and shit. Sometimes violence is the only way.

[Stamid467]

Yeah, if there were only peace what would all the war mongers do all day?

[BKDevious]

And that's why hip hop is bad for my health.

On the other hand, there's also other musician that became household name when it comes to speaking their political views like the metal group Lamb of God, rock group Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young, the late John Lennon, and if you want to make this count, Ludacris.

[swaggajee]

Holy Shit!! I think that Kushner is more white than Newt's hair!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?!

He looks like a freakin albino with normal colored contact lenses in.

Which is pretty ironic since the Nazi's probably would have used him as a lab rat to find out what made him so white in order to create their Ayran Race.

[popsceneblur06]

Hahahahaha. Awesome post.

[xxmike805xx]

Word to your mother!

[jlassie]

Keith is right to condemn the Avengers, as a way to show the proper restraint of a TV personality. However, I'd pay big bucks to be able to see Orally get a cap in his ass. Maybe they could use a loofah as a silencer!

[zzzxxyy]

1.Hey Newt, 1994 called. It wants you back there. Now.

2.What's the problem? Didn't some conservative nut jobs want to see the Dixie Chicks killed after what they said about Dubya?

3.Human Events are the Nazis!

[grazon]

Isn't inflating your own tires free at most gas stations or is that just a west cost thing?

[onyeka112]

i was wandering too.wow these peevishly-stupid-intractable-h­ighly conseded but stupid conservatives must really know the mind set of their dead-brained-so called followers because for a supposedly living creature to even say such a zombie-like remark, just shows the groose-dead-brian-intellectual incuriosity level that most americans suffer from. god help us.

[riptorn311]

i live in woeful ohio and every single gas station ive been to it costs at least fifty cents. most places charge seventy five but still kieth is right theyre owned by the gas station. what do you expect from someone stick in 1991. gingrich your a friggin noob

[grazon]

THanks.

BTW gingrich isn't a noob he's a nob.

[SirBroadsword]

Well, it's free here in Australia, grazon...

[grazon]

How on earth did Australia produce rupert murdoch?

[SirBroadsword]

*Shurg* Search me... :/

[grazon]

eh least you didn't elect him.

Us Americans are going to have to deal with the stink of Bush till they prove his stole one or both of the elections.

[waltermh111]

the australian government is actually very conservative as far them them wanting to be just lik america. Maybe you have better politicians in some ways, better health care maybe? i dont know australian social programs, but i do know a few times politicians there have expressed a desire to be more like bushes america. Scares me how many countries want that vision.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

I love keith....no homo!

[emmjay701]

"Word to your mother." Keith is hilarious...

[blind913]

WOW. I can't believe Gingrich said that- can you possibly lie more obviously???
