Olbermann: Obama on Reverend Wright

[BCE42906]

social gospel = no need for salvation.

[breustle]

Keith Olbermann is a condenscending, sexist Obama lover. Seriously, I'm a Democrat and won't even watch his show anymore..not that I ever really did before. It's disgusting how he defamed Hillary Clinton during the primaries. CNN and MSNBC are no better than Fox News at slanting bias in favor of their candidate.

[LA2CT]

I think Olbermann is the smartest man on any news network. And for what it's worth, I fully support Barack Obama for President.

[PatricksTime]

if he is all you watch then you don't have a clue about what is going on!!!!!

[berkshoops22]

smartest? HA. that one I've never heard.

he has a bachelor's degree in communications!!!!

[landline00]

Obama didn't know about these statements?

How is he qualified to be President than?

[scofiel9]

this man has been a mentor of obama for 17 years. you know the saying "you are known by the company you keep."

[KadashiSunasuke]

If Obama doesn't win...fuck it, I'm going to Canada. My hope for America's common sense will dwindle to nothingness.

[d2eux]

your statement makes me want to move to canada.

[beanbag1985]

or you could go independent

[cubsftw29]

The funny thing is you are a liberal too.

[davidwyson]

dont let the door hit you in the ass

[MikeJames6]

Kieth Olbermann a hypocrite? Surely you jest? If McCain had a preacher that said these things then Olbermann would do a special comment and also play the tape over and over. He is completely in the pocket of the Democrat party.

[beanbag1985]

ur point? hes got to balance the evils of the media, he balances with o'reilly

[ChitownToewsKaner]

I completely disagree. O'Reilly gets tough everybody, the left and right and he tries to make himself look correct all of the time. He leans to the right more on social issues for sure, but his show isn't a full hour of attacks of the other side like Olbermann. But don't take my word for it, just watch Olbermann's show and then watch O'Reilly's show.

End point, O'Reilly is an ass, Olbermann is in the tank for the Democratic party.

[ChitownToewsKaner]

O'Reilly asks the tough questions to both parties, but I would agree that he leans to the right on more social issues. But everyone hates O'Reilly because he tries to make himself look correct in every argument.

My end point, O'Reilly is an ass, and Olbermann is in the tank for the Democratic Party. Don't take my word for it, just watch both shows.

[ColbertPhilosopher]

As a viewer of both shows, I would say that they are both very very partisan. As someone who strongly disagrees with O'Reilly and generally dislikes him, I do not hate him because he tries to make himself look correct. I dislike him because I believe he is rude to his guests and generally a mean-spirited person with no regard to facts.

[yahasiff]

In 20 years Obama did not hear Rev Wright say incindiary things. Obama lieing on camera. Simple as that.

[ybrix101]

"don't mess up the countdown"? obviously obama is so far up olbermann's rear-end that he might as well do a colinoscapy.

[xxxwilly2]

obama must be stop....no matter the cost.

[beanbag1985]

why?

[Fritzane]

Obama has the qualities America need in a president.All the blackmail,sabotage and accusing fingers of his Pastor comment only goes to give momentum to Obama.He has passed the test of time and the world needs him to rule America and change it.You cannot determine what Obama will do through comments from his pastor!  That is ridiculous.His vision of Change will come to be a reality from day one.He opposed Iraq War,He has bring together Democrats,GOP,and Independence.

[stang661]

Keith is in mad gay love with Obama.

God Damn Barack Obama and his nation of islam church. I was a Yellow Dog Democrat but I'll never have the Democrats push this ignorant noob on me.

[ahabthewhaler]

you seem clever

[MarciLynnB]

I'm a proud christian, AND Obama SUPPORTER. I don't agree with part of the statements made by Pastor Jeremiah Wright but I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS NOT THE ONE WHO MADE THOSE STATEMENTS!!! MAY GOD BLESS EVERYBODY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

[skynet000001]

I love America, but damn it for our foreign policies. A country can be hijack but psychopaths and corruption. look at germany or japan. Now , its a loved country and hated at one time. people are so afraid to critize

[karlobarlo]

What Jeremiah Wright said was 100% correct and I am white. American's just cant accept criticism of their country. Say anything remotely critical and you are a traitor. Grow up America. Wright spoke the truth. The country is still racist. The Southern states were still lynching people as late as the 1950's. And yes, you brought Sept 11th on yourselves!!!!!!!!!

[chubbatheBOSS]

Amen to that!

[thequeenofchinatown1]

imagine if this would have been hilarys or john mccains preacher and he would have said that about black people... i think there would have been a bigger problem

[darthscumbagus]

Wow porn, those are great reasons to vote for McCain. Fauxbama is a manchurian candidate for the left wing loones out there.

OBAMATRUTH

[billisnowy]

FOX SUCKS! the cynical obamaphobic channel. Viewers are not that stupid, we are not gonna be outfoxed by your hoax.

FOX SUCKS! Obama ROCKS!

[JJjudbruuu01]

Countdown with Keith Obama-mann! What a hypocrite Keith is. Just the night before this he made one of his special comments on Hillary and Ferraro's remarks. What Ferraro said pales in comparison to the Rev. Wright and the lies told by Obama. Obama has since said he has witnessed some of the tirades by Wright. God Bless America!

[zo10]

First he smokes weed, then he is a muslim, and now he is anti-american what's next...?

Whatever the struggles we will prevail because we have an intelligent, knowledgeable, qualified future president named Barack obama!!!

[sallee5]

Obama lied in this interview. Today he changed his story. If this was McCain, the liberal fascists would demand that he resign.

[callmetev]

How did he lie?

[sallee5]

He denied that he heard any controversial talk while he was in the Church and then he changed his answer during that infamous speech.

[jabusso20]

that like saying you lived next to the train station for 20 years but never heard the train..LMAO

NOBAMA

[uyd]

The Senator has condemed the reverend's comments. Now let's focus on the important issues of the day, like the WAR IN IRAQ, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, AND JOB CREATION!!!!

[luvnhugs]

I was going to vote for Obama in the election if he won the primary - not now - he does not show good judgment in his 20 year association with Wright. Furthermore, I believe he lied to the American public when he stated that he never heard the divisive words from his reverend of 20 years. If he could lie so easily...and what kind of lying would he do as president. Poor judgment - he should not have even run for president with this history - he's ruining the Democrats. No unity hope change.

[mgallant01]

Keith has his nose so far up Obamas ass he can see his gall bladder!

[uyd]

Just like every talking head on the Fox NEws Channell have their heads up John McCains Ass!!!

[PitoDaddy]

If a video or any testimony from someone comes forth that implicates Obama actually being present at church, or anywhere else when Rev. Wright's made these controversial comments, Obama's run for the presidency is over.

[happy1s2]

Reverend Wright is a HUGE CONCERN for the American People!

[dellaant]

if rev wright is a concern to the americn people then what are we doing in two wars? please give me a break.

[nickpoo]

When did Keith fall in love with Obama? I wish Tim Russert had done this interview. Not one real or probing question. LAME

[smotankozvon]

the chickens are coming home to roost. He he He. adios osama.This america don't want you or your whites-hating ashhole of a "minister"

[porthos44]

LIAR!

[porthos44]

Its too bad he is lying...this will cost him this Election.

[mtedora]

[word9up]

OMG Keith oASSman....This Guy is INsaNe ,INSANE,iNsAne,.....

OMG how can MSNBC still support Obama even after listing to his mentor insane JWright insane preaching's.

MSNBC is worst than FOX NEWS

BYE BYE OBAMA

[JJjudbruuu01]

Olbermann is such a hypocrite! Just the night before he made a special comment on Hillary and Ferraro. Yet in this video, I thought he was going to drool on Obama. The pastor that Obama calls his mentor is a racist!

Twenty years in this church and he never heard this kind of talk? Just how stupid are we if he gets the nomination?

OLBERMANN IS A SEXIST AND OBAMA IS A RACIST!!!!!

[peacelf]

If you think Olbermann is sexist because he doesn't support Hillary, then I disagree. If you think Obama is racist because his minister spoke out on social justice issues, then I disagree with you as well. Personally, I think Obama and Hillary refuse to speak on issues of race and gender because they are afraid of the exact thing you're doing now. That's why I made a video about this issue on my channel.

peace

[JJjudbruuu01]

I certainly did not come up with the Rev. Wright! But someone else came up with a name for Keith Olbermann that I love. Since he is trying to rescue a racist while trashing Hillary, I'll just start calling him Keith Obama-man. I will vote for McCain before I will ever vote for Obama and I have financially supported and voted for the last three Democratic candidates.

[peacelf]

JJ, Personally, I think both parties are corrupt, or as Ralph Nader says, "we have a two-party dictatorship!" Both are beholden to corporate interests, and until We The People is restored, our political election system is worthless.

peace

[dellaant]

then you will left with the same hussain terror an might did keeping mac in the white house for 3 terms. go ahead you choose

[zach16]

Olbermann drooling is a fit description. I think he would like to change his name to Keith Olbamann. His fawning is really unbecoming. There is NOTHING he will find wrong for Obama and NOTHING will he find right for any Republican. He is just a network's attempt to be a reverse O'Reilly but he comes across as just obnoxious.

[Kioti077]

I hope this guy goes back to SPN( if they take him back), then he can report the steroid abuse on the t-ball league, ) % credibility.

[wiggus13]

Obama is not going to be able to loose rev. wright's baggage anytime soon.

obama's choice of rev. wright as his "spiritual adviser" -makes him look weak.

this is a campaign killer! & he is to blame for not clearing this matter up from the start!

[jbvoter]

What I want to know: Why does Obama proclaim that he denounces and rejects Rev. Wright's comments? Did he not denounce them and reject them before this week? Yeah, another fake plea for believing in his weakness-lack of integrity.

[pcos22]

Rev. Wright's preaching turns my stomach (i.e. AmeriKKKa). This is making racism WORSE. I understand Michelle Obama's 'I've never been proud of America before' comments now that I know she's been listening to Rev. Wright for 20 yrs. Hillary ain't never been called a nigger but Barack ain't never been called a bitch. White women and black men should look at what they have IN COMMON, both suffer discrimination. How bout you preach about that, Rev. Wright?

[LLANGSTON69]

Obama is the antichrist!

[jbvoter]

YeaH, I finally agree. Anti meaning against, yes he is that. Rev. Wright claims Jesus was a black man. I thought he was Jewish.

[xxlatoyaxx]

Great....just what this country needs, more racial division.

[StellarMortem]

It's over for Obama!

He's done!

He won't make it to the White House!

[9mmtaurus]

means HE FOLLOWS the ideology.He should not deny knowing what was being said.for me Obama is just as racist as pastor wright..

same as Michelle Obama's thesis, speaks of white OPRESSION.......

[123MARIAMAKILING123]

So, why doesn't Barack Hussein Obama wear the US Flag pin? Why doesn't Barack Hussein Obama raise his hand to his heart when singing the Star Spangled Banner? Why did Mrs. Michelle Obama say that she has never been a proud American in her entire adult life? Now do we see the connection? You be the judge.

[mrsyllanes325]

obama scares me, he's a liar I don't believe him, and the media will give him a pass

[bobbytiger]

Liar.

[Kioti077]

GRAZON, no it does not make you a pacifist but your comment makes you appear very naive.

[grazon]

I go to a church where the minister is a pacifist.

does that make me one?

[joannaofcharles]

Obama just doesn't get it. If he was in this church for 20 years and was, according to him, unaware about this aspect of his church and minister,how is the American people to trust him in relating to Iran's leadership or Korea or any antagonist? He's either an innocent with blinders or a fool thinking a smile and a handshake will suffice. He can be so easily duped?! Or is that he thinks we're so easily duped, because we're so desperate for hope. This lack of judgement is fatal in a President.

[Kioti077]

well I think Oberman really let him have it, No like he let the INCENDIARY REMARKS  of Geraldine Ferraro go by , what a fucking hypocrite and this moron Qbamites will some how rationalize this one too,talking about drinking the kool aid this people are hopeless!!

[pama4242]

While I don't believe Obama, I will still vote for him, only a black man can unite the country, I am not black by the way and I don't hate George Bush either

[comnsense1001]

Not buying your bS B.O.

[bringouturdead]

who takes their kids on sunday to church to hear such things? obama is a god damm liar when he says he never heard such sermons...how could he not know about it? i was allways told that you are who your friends are.

[MaddZzee350]

So for 20 years or more, black churchs like Rev Wright's have been preaching about the white race as being bad. IN CHURCH??? What kind of church are you attending Obama? Your wife showed her true colors, Ivy league degree and all, she still feels her "blackness." Well bless my soul honey, I'm feeling my "WHITENESS" now. You and Barrack can go back to your racist church, hang out with Oprah, and thank white America you got this far. I'm waiting...I'm not done yet...

[bmr1970]

Olbermann used to make me angry, but now he's just pathetic. Douchebag.

[danimal9579]

Olbermann is a D-Bag...He's been crushed by O'Reilly over the years and has to resort to bashing him in his stupid worst person BS. I'm surprised he didn't ask Barack out on a date after the interview.

[wiggus13]

Olbermann lost so much credibility by promoting Obama while constantly tearing down Hillary...he should have kept his cool.

Obama's association with his spiritual mentor (rev. wright) has ruined his chance for the white house...this is more serious than having a photo of a hooker in Obama's lap.

all of msnbc's horses & all of msnbc's men will not be able to put their dear obama back together again.

[Itanium153]

No I agree they wont be able to.

If he is going to a church the practices hate. I think oprah and Barrack are both racist now. If this was a white church the black community would be in an uproar.

The NAACP should be disbaned

Look would happened to Imus on MSNBC.

[MaddZzee350]

Itanium - I have a degree from a Catholic university and a masters from a Jesuit university. I'm a white/Irish American who has been taught about racism, the need for diversity, and so on. Rev. Wright's comments are nothing more than racism and seperatism. G Damning America in a church is horrid. YOU DO NOT USE THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VANE sir. Obama has gone to this very same church for 20 years. Political fodder my azz. You have an underlying, disturbing shadow behind your eyes now Obama.

[roastbeefdinner]

so called Reverend Wright is not preaching the Bible..he is preaching hate..no doubt about it

[Itanium153]

No I agree they wont be able to.

If he is going to a church the practices hate. I think oprah and Barrack are both racist now. If this was a white church the black community would be in an uproar.

The NAACP should be disbaned

Look would happened to Imus on MSNBC.

[MaddZzee350]

Agreed roastbeef and Itanium. Imus is back on radio thank God. The "Nappy Headed" statement was awful, but whites are "not allowed" to say things like that. Only black on black are allowed to disgrace each other. There is a hair salon down the road from me that is black and it used to be called "The Nappy Head." They changed the name. I wish I had taken a pic.

NAACP...Hmmm, how about "POWER": Preseveration Of Whites Equal Rights"???? That's what it's coming down to my friends. No vote for Obam

[uglyusa]

Poor MSNBC they are trying to do their best to rescue the Obama campaign, however -Obama is in such sad shape that he can't even run as vice president now.

Obama has contributed money to Rev. Wright's church & exhibited everything a "so-called" member of that church should do -for 20 years.

Obama is not fooling anyone by this back pedaling & political hustling. His role in Rev. Wright's flock has cost him the election.

[outsider47]

Is this guy a real journalist? Olberman is pathetic.

[Dondeville2001]

Let's deal with the facts....Clinton lossed the BLACK vote by unprecedented margins. In Mississippi alone over 90% of black people voted for Obama. Clinton can not win the white house without the BLACK vote either. The only thing that this back and forth character assasination is doing is destroying both candidates. I hope that we will reflect back on this when we have another 4yrs of McCain in office.

[barefoot3646]

the liberal dems of the 60's created the black society of dependence on the government. blacks will blindly vote for someone like obama b/c he speaks well and represents maximum government entitlement programs which will be paid for by taxing people who work hard and earn good money.

[THUGGINBUNDLES]

Reverend Wright is not Barack Obama. Obama should be judged on who he is and not on what another man's views are.

[JeromeTurner5]

Olbermann is soooooo in love with Barack. What a dink. He is a hypocrite for not holding Barack to the same standard he held Hillary just last week.

[happy1s2]

Please be careful who you vote for! Please be careful who you vote for! Please be careful who you vote for! Please be careful who you vote for! Please be careful who you vote for! Please be careful who you vote for!

[thegoob1986]

Blacks can have their churches and believe anything they want. It's America and they have that right. But if blacks think the garbage Wright spouts is anything like the norm, they're insane. Obama is FINISHED. He lost the white vote in a HUGE way and can't win without it. Pennsylvania will go to Clinton by at least twenty points. You read it here.

[shakenotstired]

20 years with rev. Wright but hasn't heard any of his hate speech...and the cow jumped over the moon.

[cornellbobo]

Where is Olbermann's rage? The kind of rage he showed against Hillary? Olbermann is such a fake. He should go back to the sports center.

[timpest]

Yeah what happen to the rage that they showed for Ferraro. I'm surprised I haven't heard anything from Al Sharpton.

[Dondeville2001]

Let's talk about Hillary Clinton's tax returns. The fact is that it has been reported that former President Bill Clinton is making millions of dollars exporting pharmaceutical drugs around the world. Hillary is using the Universal Health Care to boost her campaign, however, that will never happen because the truth is her and her husband is making money off people being sick.

[joreis88]

Like someone said, typical MSNBC damage control for their golden boy.

Barack, you're a liar if I ever saw one. I now see what "good judgment" means to you and I'm glad I found out. Jeremiah Wright (he doesn't deserve the title Rev.) is full of hate which will ultimately completely destroy him.

[benzride]

Yeah and if his pastor is full of hate, there's no way he wouldn't be either. These politicians think we're so dumb. WHY DO WE THINK A POLITICIAN HAS THE ANSWERS? THEY DON'T.

[afonsoaires]

Olberman gave a cushion to Obama. Come on... in 20 years of sermons that was the first time the reverend made those type of remarks? I don't believe that. If hillary went to a church for 20 years where the reverend made those type of remarks towards black people the media would destroy her. This double standard is starting to get ridiculous.

[Dondeville2001]

It is crazy that Obama has to defend his stance on what his former pastor stated. Why? He didn't say it. How many of US have family members that are homosexual? Do you really believe that? Should the responsibility be ours to defend that statement if we ran for public office? What are the media really saying by these statements? Are you saying that NO ONE that attends this church can run for public office now? These are my opinions but I guess Obama has the responsibility to defend them NOW.

[Dondeville2001]

Two words...Ridiculous and Absurd. There are cultural differences between races that we can no longer ignore. The media slams Obama with the favorite 1 question: If you had heard it, would you have quit? As African Americans, we don't attend church like we are going to work. The entire quitting church philosophy is ridiculous. I have been in the same church since birth. I and many of US have heard and have not agreed with the words of our leader. Do we quit? Ridiculous and Absurd!

[ENZOFLYER]

obama wants to decimate our military, he is the ayatollahs best friend, iran loves obama.

[lea210]

funny how kieth olbermann is all calm and not scolding barack with a commentary telling him to drop his pastor as any member of his campaign..yet he scolded hillary for ferraro. Ferraro's statements was mild compared to barack's pastor and ferraro was even less entwined with hillary from a relationship standpoint. What a biased media. HIllary doesn't agree with ferraro, she is scolded, barack doesnt agree with the pastor (even though its been 20 years) and the media does not scold him.

[ENZOFLYER]

Obama CHOSE Rev. Wright as his mentor and spiritual

guide.....important distinction. He married them and baptized Obama's

children. No wonder Michelle Obama said she's never been proud of her

country after praying at Wright's alter. These two people are very scary. The real american people will vote again, just like they voted for George Bush, the majority are brave americans, they will outvote the cowards again.

[pornanyone]

lol, yes vote for McCain whose spiritual guide ,Rod Parsley, thinks that the govt is funding black genocide.  Vote for McCain if you think Islam should be destroyed. If you think Katrina was just God's punishment against New Orleans and gays... You go ahead and vote republican

[p1zl3]

This is a feeble attempt at best, to divert attention from Obama's association with this filthy preacher. Obama has 20years with this man (including family baptisms, and marriage) and he has never heard anything negative from him? Do you really think we're dumb enough to buy this Obama? It's a neat little speach Obama, too bad noone with any sort of functioning brain buys it...

[eldiceuf]

I find it ironic that Obama has been going to this church for 17 years, got married there, and baptized his kids there, yet acts as if he has never heard his pastor speak in such an offensive manner. I wonder whats gonna hurt him more, disregarding this reverend or trying to act like he's not involved in "Affimitive Blacktion"

[ENZOFLYER]

:) Truth is the silent majority voted for George Bush, and they will all vote for Reps again, too many wimps on the left side, liberals make great cowards for life, everyone knows this except the liberals:), and they are so out numbered.

[sineaddeburca]

This is where Obama is really exceptional. He repudiates the comments but not the man. It shows his integrity beautifully.
