Keith Olbermann: Teabaggers, Health Reform & FOX News

[Darrylizer1]

America is descending into a corporatist anti-person nightmare and these scared fucks are holding hands with the very people who would enslave them. Disgusting.

[Trund27]

@Darrylizer1 Anti-person...I think that also describes a weapon. Your use of the term is frightening, and probably accurate.

I am an outsider (Canadian) whose parents lived in the US during the 60's. I care about what happens to my neighbours across the border.

[wbtaylor1]

No wonder Olbermann was canned. He is a brainless worm.

[Neosaigo]

@wbtaylor1

I don't see too many FOX brainless worm getting canned, so I really doubt that was the reason.

[buhe1]

Showing a birth certificate would have not changed a thing.

These people would still claim that it never happened.

[arklat]

"I am scared! (tears. more tears.) I'm scared my daughter may have sex with a black man with a big weiner, and won't want her daddie anymore. And she is such a daddies girl(right now, anyway). So, give me back my America, with incest, and home made moonshine, and my food stamps, and a new padded toilet seat for my trailer, and NASCAR. And a white President. Even if it's a really stoopid woman. As long as she's white. Oh, and a nice all-white christian church, with a legal mexican janitor."

[Trund27]

@arklat LOL!!! Wow! the imagery you created was stunning!

[1961arnie]

in a democracy there is no my way or the high way that only way that happens is in a dictatorship

[Trund27]

@1961arnie Well said.

[bluebina0327]

Obama is an American. He was born in Honolulu. He has produced a birth certificate. Hawaii has verified its authenticity. They have a record. There was even an announcement for his birth placed by his grandparents in the Honolulu newspaper on the day of his birth.

People are screaming "i want my country back" - they have been no major changes , so far (if ever). So, to what are they referring?... they mean their country that has previously always be lead by WHITE MEN - nothing more.

[thutchin]

How can this pose as a news show? KO is so blinded by his hate and vision that he can't admit that there are actually thoughtful, caring, moral people who strongly do not agree with Obama. If, as you say, these are only staged events, why did Obama backed candidates lose in NJ, VA, and MA?

[tristanmayfield]

This is not hate. He has video evidence of your side showing YOUR racism, bigotry and overall stupidity how on Earth is this showing our hate? really?!

[thutchin]

If someone disagrees with Obama that means they're racist? Does that mean when a black person disagreed with Bush, Cheney, Clinton etc. that was a sign of racism? In some cases that might be true, but in general people don't care about race. How did BHO win? He had a whole lot of white votes. Why is D. Washington so popular? A lot of white guys like him. Why are many of the athletes with the biggest endorsements black? In general people don't care much about color. If a person's good he's liked

[tristanmayfield]

NO. If someone disagrees with Obama obviously it does not make them racist. But if you actually took the time to read many of the signs at these rallys they depict Obama as a monkey...impeach the Kenyan...show us your birth certificate...plays on welfare...then you would realize that many not all of these protesters are racist. In fact many of these people accuse Obama of being racist! LOL!

[thutchin]

He might be racist. I find it hard to believe that he could go to church for 20 years and listen to Rev. Wright, who clearly is a racist, without agreeing with the majority of what was said. You're right that signs saying impeach the monkey are racist, but if his birth certificate has truly not been seen as many have claimed then that is a concern that isn't racist. There are a lot of people who strongly believe that Obama wasn't born in America. I've been to Tea Parties and blacks were present.

[tristanmayfield]

I have seen many videos of those rallys and have NEVER seen a person of color...I have never seen a minority and there aren't that median age of the participants is about 50. I'll believe it when I see it ;) For now I' going to concentrate my efforts on the Coffee Party. A group where rational argument is made based on facts :) Thanks.

[thutchin]

I've been to several Tea Party events in the Lehigh Valley in PA. The average age is probably about 50, and there have always been a racial mix; however, considering that blacks are only about 15% of the population and that the majority are Liberalsm the blacks have only been 2-5% of the group. Race has never been a factor in the movement and neither has political party. Most are Republicans, but the group's focus is against big government and for following the Constitution. Both parties don't

[tristanmayfield]

Well just judging from what I have seen on the signs I believe part of this movement is motivated by race. Other motivations I think are fear and misinformation. Socialism, death panels, communism, rationed care...etc I also think it is important to note that most revolutions and movements begin with young people not middle aged and elderly people that's just my opinion though.

[pattaya95]

Asked about Olbermann's plummeting ratings--they have declined 44 percent since last year--MSNBC President Phil Griffin cleverly invoked the cable network's slogan, saying MSNBC is still "the place for politics."

Ratings for the "O'Reilly Factor", Olbermann's 8 p.m. competition, have soared 55 percent during the past year, making it by far the most watched cable news show during that time slot. "Countdown", meanwhile, languishes just behind HLN's Nancy Grace

[surfwaxafghani]

@pattaya95 you do understand because right wingers are so fearful and they ONLY watch fox news it drives their shit up. youre so fuckin stupid i hope you die in a fire. seriously.

[TillMakaveliReturns]

@surfwaxafghani true. and his facts are wrong. O'rielly's ratings dropped 42 percent. He's full of shit

[tristanmayfield]

Okay so Fox a conservative channel has better rating but yet we have a Democrat in office and the largest majority in 3 decades :)

[adamsfall]

Sometimes the roots of the grass go way too deep into the mud.

[SwampDog1957]

Yes, Keith..... keep it up. Continue to belittle and demonize a common sense grassroots movement. Probably can't hurt you since your ratings can't get much lower.

[surfwaxafghani]

@SwampDog1957 DONT YOU FUCKING SAY ANYTHING ABOUT COMMON SENSE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK ABOUT ANYTHING.

[SwampDog1957]

Oh Mr. (or is it Miss?) surfwasafghani..... 500 million sperm cells and you were the fastest one?

The last I heard your Olbermanniacs and your Obama Cult had not taken away my right to speak. So I certainly won't be taking orders from some little linguini spined poster who gathered enough guts to sit at their desktop and tell me when I'm allowed to speak.

Judging from the language you've chosen to use, I'm guessing you're the one who isn't qualified to discuss common sense. Any other comments?

[tristanmayfield]

Dude you guys lost health reform is going to happen. Deal with it.

[RATMRocks86]

Wow...did that one girl say that Obama has a "Nazi policy" ? And this is why America is failing...because of idiots like those that were shown.

[treid100182]

olbermann is the man

[SwampDog1957]

A man? What kind of man doesn't have the guts to face anyone with an opposing view?

Interviews with Michael Moore, Bill Maher, Al Franken...... Oh yeah! That's a big challenge.

[lovesclassiccars]

The audio is not on this PC, but I don't have to listen to know what Olbermann is talking about. He's expressing his opinion as he sees fit, and that's okay, but I don't have to agree with him, and many other people in the country don't either, and his approach, which is not funny but rather annoying, to say the least, gets him and MSNBC low ratings. And again, his guest is someone who agrees with him.

[farr01]

Olbermann is such a petty little infant. I used to like this guy, but he has proven himself to be such a thin skinned smug little priss. Go back to reporting on sports and stay out of the deep end of the pool.

He gets trounced in the ratings and must have a small member.

[lovesclassiccars]

@farr01

Unfortunately, he is back reporting on sports on NBC Sunday Night Football. I'd like to see NBC get the message the many sports fans cannot stand him for him rants and raves on weeknights, but they won't care, and unfortunately, enough people are oblivious to who Olbermann is that it won't affect Sunday Night Football's ratings.

[csgforme]

Keith reminds me of Ron Burgundy.... hey-o!

I'd love to hear him say "I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly... "

[theliberalparis]

why don't conservatives move to Iran. Since they want to live 300 years in the past.

[MarekK64]

@theliberalparis

No need for conservatives to go anywhere.

The liberals are moving Iran over here.

[ThatKrazygirlie]

Ugh. Immature idiots disrupting meetings. Can't we just have democracy? Please?

[TriFye]

@ThatKrazygirlie

You mean the form of government where people voce their opinions and make sure they are heard?

Sounds good to me.

[ThatKrazygirlie]

If disrupting debate and making sure none of those around you are heard at all is what you think democracy is, you are an idiot.

[jeffmonc]

Yeh I agree cause we have balls and liberal attack pups do not. Bunch of pansy losers without a mind to call their own.

[GstateBALLER925]

you have balls? i dont know about that... if anything, you have balls going in your mouth seeing as how you idiots are far-right, irrational TEABAGGERS.

[eksdem]

Olbermann is a SLEAZE-YACKER.

[GstateBALLER925]

english, please.

[ThatKrazygirlie]

@eksdem wtf?

[theliberalparis]

yea in you're an asshole.

[theliberalparis]

wow ! what a statement, now my turn, your mom is a bitch for putting a piece of shit like you in our world.

[cathy0007]

America has turned into what? What has changed since Obama took over?

[Gantzer1]

dont you see in conjunction with the european socialist nazi infiltrators the chinese/russian communist facists have caused a time warp continum flux in which all the socilist agenda broiling out of todays anti anlgo-saxon racist whitehouse destablised the past and brought america into such an economic mess, this all of course can be solved by listening to glen beck and as always the responsible news broadcasting service fox.

[cathy0007]

Wait...today's whitehouse brought down that mess? Didn't it start on Bush's watch.... a non-racist, pro anglo-saxon white whitehouse? My point was that Obama has nothing to do woth what happened. He has just started and since he came nothing has changed. And by listening to Beck you can only get more paranoid. I listen to both liberal and conservative people (including Michael Savage) but I can't stand a phony like Beck.

[Gantzer1]

lol sorry bout that i intended that whole thing as a joke but it obviously missed out, i was pretending to be a tinfoil hat wearing nut to put shit on fox and glens woefull attempts at "news"

[cathy0007]

Yup missed it completely.

[theliberalparis]

fart cheez donut Obama banana socialist doorknob communist taliban !

[mintvagoo]

The WSJ had an article by Brody Mullins. Teabagers are complaining about the lack of tax funded public transportation in DC during the 9.12 circle jerk. They're angry that some were forced to spend their own $ by taking taxi's to the circus. Seriously! 

Knuckle-Dragger Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) is demanding answers from Washingtons Metro. LOL!

Get government out of my life- just don't touch my SS or Medicare- and while you're at- increase public transportation so I can protest it.

[xhagast]

The Dachau image is rather fitting. I mean, aren't 120 US citizens being allowed to die miserably every day in the US by that whore Bachmann and those retarded KKK wannabe Teabaggers?
