Who are most of the seniors? They are white and Obama couldn't care less about them because they vote republican now.
Who are the illegal aliens? Mostly mexicans and Obama wants them here and is buying their votes at the expense of white seniors.
Beck was right, Obama doesnt like white people, look how he has dissed Europe while embracing the Arab terrorist states, Chavez and Iran.
Oh, Cow School Grad was in on Friday.
Guests: James Clyburn (D-SC), Lawrence O'Donnell, Mark Benjamin (salon.com), Eric Schneiderman (D-NY), Paul F. Tompkins
WPITW: Allen West (R-FL), Brian Kilmeade and Gretchen Carlson and Peter Johnson (FOX News), Tom Kenniff
The goof-boy Tompkins known for destroying VH 1's Best Week Ever should be more on Countdown to destroy that show as well.
The dumbest comedian (Tompkins) meets the dumbest commentator (Olbermann). The two biggest frauds on television.
I recall feeling very proud on the day that the wall came down. Great post!!
Yes, it was Reagan and Bush that stood up to Gorby and covered your backs while you tore it down. We are proud of Reagan and Bush for their parts, but that in no way should diminish the pride the German people should have in themselves.
Well done to all involved.
(and Obama is an embarrassment to many of us over here as well) Everybody should have the God given rights that we enjoy as expressed in our Constitution. People just need to gain the will and the power to take their rights. And looking at what is going on here, we need to fight like Hell to keep and protect those rights.
Really an amazing comment.
Thanks for sharing.
You better give him the message. He routinly refers to "Coutdown" as the "News Hour of Record" for MSNBC.
KO is a loser, BOR is a winner . . .
#10: To hear Keith Olbermann tell it, ratings are irrelevant. They don't prove a thing. As he famously said, "800 billion flies can't be wrong". But this is artificial bravado. KO is so preoccupied with numbers that he fabricates them. He'll blithely claim that his ratings are up a third or that they have risen to two-thirds of O'Reilly's, both false. The #10 entry in our Countdown of calumny is a pair of shameless lies Keith concoted to artifically inflate his own miserable viewership. The MSM never fact-checks his wild allegations. We did.
#9: Olbermann quit his first job at A-Mess-NBC because he didn't like covering the investigations and impeachment proceedings against Bill Jefferson Clinton. And when B.J. was a subject of controversy this year, Herr Olbermann rushed to the defense of his sacred cow. When an interviewer asked what Clinton himself deemed a "fair question", Olby frantically went on the attack against that "monkey" Chris Wallace. KO blustered preposterously that the veteran newsman sandbagged the President and tried to shift the blame for 9/11. He went so far as to falsely allege that Wallace had violated ground rules for the interview. But our #9 is Keith's preemptive attack on the Path to 9/11 movie. The film, he declared, puts the blame for 9/11 on "Democrats and Democrats alone". Even Olbypologists can't defend this brazen lie unless, like Keith, they never watched the movie.
#8: On OlbyPlanet, one of the best motives to avoid telling the truth is the traditional one: CYA. Krazy Keith will go to any lengths to make himself look good, and to cover up his transgressions. That's why he can smear two ball players, lie about everybody from Condi Rice to Catherine McPhee, and never admit he was wrong. Which brings us to #8: when rape charges in the Duke case were dropped, Keith Olbermann invented a fanciful tale about how Countdown only reported on it once. What's more, while "everyone else" was assuming the players to be guilty, he was the only one who spotted the weakness of the case against them. Har.
#7: The first rule of a journalist is "get it right". Since Keith Olbermann is no journalist, this rule obviously doesn't apply. Especially when it comes to quotes. To Krazy Keith, quotations are fungible: made to be sliced, diced, pureed, and reassembled at will. He can tamper with the words of Robert Novak and Patrick Fitzgerald, falsify the State of the Union address, and misrepresent statements by Ann Coulter or Laura Bush. And of course there's always David Shuster, ready to doctor a taped interview to make it more favorable to the Democrats. But this year's premier example takes the #7 position: Olbermann's slice-and-dice falsification of a comment by Brit Hume. KO took a Hume remark about event A and claimed it was said at an entirely different time about event B. His mock outrage and supercilious arrogance are that much funnier when we know he was lying through his wig.
#6: "The infamous, deplorable Matt Drudge". He has long been a favorite target of Olbermann's slanders. Sometimes it's nothing more than coy insinuations about lifestyle. More often it's just more Olbermann lies, as when he blasted Drudge for making up a story about Al Gore taking multiple cars to a movie event. Only Drudge didn't make it up at all. The classic exemplar that is #6 on our hit parade: an ABC employee's email was leaked to Drudge by the White House. There was no evidence, no source, no report that verified this fabrication. Olby got this information from his favorite wellspring: he pulled it out of his ass. It turned out the leak came not from the White House, but from a disgruntled ABC employee, and, deservedly, Matt Drudge had the last laugh.
#5: If Monkeymann has a jihad going against Drudge, it's nothing compared to his all-consuming Olbsession over his bete-noir, Bill O'Reilly. Keith has been lying about Bill for years (example: this whopper from 2004). But 2006 has been a banner year: lies about the Al Franken lawsuit, Bill's book, and even what search engines turn up. Our #5 entry is a typical Olbermoronn falsehood. KO blasted O'Reilly, called names and hurled insults, all over an alleged statement that in fact Bill O'Reilly never said. But remember, Keith boasts he's never said anything factually inaccurate about O'Reilly. Right.
#4: Keith Olbermann claims to be "nonpartisan", despite the people he interviews. Yet whatever the hot issue is on the blue blogs, whatever the DNC talking points happen to be, there you will find Citizen Keith, shill-in-chief. Olby makes up a story about three "neocons" calling for the US to enter the war in Lebanon, uniquely characterized by KO as a pre-emptive war by Israel. Then a document called the National Intelligence Estimate drove Keith to new heights of dissimulation. To hype The Great Leak case, Monkeymann claimed that Libby had authority to release classified information. In truth, that authority dealt solely with the NIE, not the leak case at all. But the best was yet to come, and it's our #4. When Olby (and his sidekick slippery Shuster) got around to actually talking about the NIE, they both lied about what was and wasn't in it. "Nonpartisan" Keith at his most biased.
#3: You know there had to be more than one entry dedicated to Ahab Olbermann's fixation on Bill O'Reilly. A typical trick is to lift something from Media Matters, juice it up with name calling and personal attacks, and then fire at will. That doesn't always work, like the time he bellowed at Mr Bill that he's a "holy you-know-what liar", when he wasn't. But it was one of Herr Olbermann's most grandiose smears that earned the #3 spot on our countdown. Bill O'Reilly slandered US troops. Bill defended stormtroopers and said the Nazis were the victims in World War II. The Great Malmedy Calumny twisted O'Reilly's words into a rhetorical pretzel, but it was all a tawdry, dishonest defamation. The intellectual bankruptcy of Olby's case was made even more apparent with his barefaced lies about the transcript, another example of Edward R Olbermann pulling "facts" out of his rear.
#2: There is nothing so stubborn as OlbySpin. Once the infamous, deplorable one gets an idea in his head, no facts need apply. He railed against General Hayden's supposed "mistake" regarding the constitutional standard for searches, and continued to flog this phony talking point despite the fact that it was KO who was wrong. This intransigence of inaccuracy reached a zenith with Krazy Keith's reckless demagoguery about "habeas corpus". The new law means "you" can be arrested and held forever without seeing a judge. Just on his whim, "Mister" Bush can "put you in jail and throw away the key". The law "does away with habeas corpus". The truth? No US citizen's habeas corpus rights have been done away with, lessened, or changed in any way. It's in the law. Tell a lie. Tell it big. Tell it again. This year's #2 from Olbermann's Ministry of Propaganda.
And the #1 Olbermann lie of 2006:
#1: This was a tough call. There was just so much to pick from. But a lie this shameless and impudent deserves pride of place. The subject matter was another eeevil Fox employee: John Gibson. Gibby was never entirely off of Olby's radar. KO chortled as he distorted Gibson's words to claim the guy favored massacres. Krazy Keith had to rewrite what Gibson said to justify another cheap shot. But then Mr Gibson went too far. He dared to speak out when he caught Keith Olbermann in a lie. Olby was in a bind. How could he respond to Gibby when every word Gibby spoke was true? The solution: the Double-Helix Self-Referential Olbermann lie. Keith lied about John Gibson, and to do so, lied about himself to cover up the original lie caught by Gibson. Confused? That's exactly what Fat Ass was counting on, but it was all caught on tape. Keith Olbermann's double fabrication, in the face of conclusive proof via transcripts, audio, and video clips, was so flagrant that it virtually cried out to be named Keith's #1 lie of 2006. And so it is.
please stop this crap. i, a right wing conservative usually like your posts but this is way TOO MUCH!
tvnewser, please limit posts to one or two 5-6 line paragraphs. this is just a bunch of crap
go sarah
They showed video of Obama jumping to conclusion about the Cambridge MA police calling them Stupid and saying he didnt have all the facts.
Then showed Obama saying dont jump to conclusions about the Ft Hood shooter Hassan.
Why does Obama hate white people and law enforcment while embracing Terrorists?
I like the Judge though, he's fierce.
2.5M+ for GB on a FRI when GB ain't there is AMAZING .... shows that Mr and Mrs Middle America are REALLY paying attention .... they might go out on a fri night, but they ALWAYS dvr/tivo GB
information, information, information ..... it's the lifeblood of this huge BATTLE to hold on to The Republic
like SP posted on the weekend - if this HC reform bill becomes law, the country will become unrecognisable in the future
FOX is setting the bar so high that it could become a disappointment any night if they fail to take more than 50% of the available viewing PIE
sigh ... I noticed that no FOX anchor managed to beat all oppo TOTALS with their DEMO this time .... but GB wasn't there of course ... let's see if he can 'raise that ratings roof' when he returns, hopefully tomorrow
GO FOX GO! Put those negligent TOTUS-cheerleaders outta bizness!
GO Paul BECK Revere GO!
*__*
You know when they shot the pirates a while back, I thought maybe Obama was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but it looks like the rumors about that incident were true, that the military just took it upon themselves to do that.
MSNBC must be dusting for the visit from Comcast.
Losers.
... also that Islamic Jihadist Murderer Terrorist COWARD is possibly gonna wake up and get interviewed .... hopefully by somebody in the FBI who isn't neutered by some politically-correct mumbo-jumbo 'order' from that Janet woman .... this is my suggested comment to be delivered the moment he opens his eyes
'this ain't PARADISE bud and there ain't a VIRGIN in sight!'
SEE EN EN thats cnn to the libs.
First it was Black in America
then BIA 2
then latino in america.
NOW instead of the Berlin wall
its
MUSLIM IN THE MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the KOOKS at SEE EN EN wonder why they are DEAD LAST in the ratings?
On today's ED Show, guest Barney Frank and Dr. ED tussled over Wall Street bonuses. Over & over Barney kept saying he tried to get oversight while the Donut King kept badgering as to why there still is no control.
Where's all the teabaggers?
Cross burning?
Where were you? Obviously not out trying to find new material, using that same old homophobic slur you love to type.
•13 men and women are slaughtered at Ft. Hood and mounting evidence shows a PC U.S. Army aided and abetted al Qaeda.
•Americans are so broke they fear spending $1.2 trillion for health reform will cripple their great grand kids, grand babies.
•Speaker Pelosi has just un-muzzled Rachel Maddow's millions of pro-abortion lefties to leash 40 yappy pro-life blue dogs.
•Unemployment is a serial killer blackmailing for more stimulus money and promising to slash wing-tipped political throats.
•Democrats act giddy after losing two big state governors and narrowly winning NY23, but not against any real republican.
•Blue state Independents are fleeing liberal rule in historic numbers and trampling town hall's everywhere blood red.
•The current president is trapped in a sticky web of unmasked illusions and inescapable lies unspun by his oily alter ego.
•In 2010 and 2012 the GOP may rise again from the ranks of W's rotting undead to bury Obama's Id.
I think that sums up the state of state affairs, but feel free to add your own.
By giving the dems ny-23 you made it easier for the healthcare bill to pass. If people were so unhappy the dems should have lost both special elections. Except for rasmussen no poll has Obama under 50% and health care according to gallup is supported 41-40% so it's a tossup.
If you expect a repeat of 1994 you will be very disappointed, the country has no use for republicans.
Why do Democrats have to lie to get elected?
Interesting to follow the short career, thus far, of the dem hero of NY-23 ......... Mr Bill Owens ..... he has already broken 4 of his campaign promises ...... hmmm .... sat in the interrogation chair in Mdme Pelosi's office, and she broke him as he received the first cup of coffee
HA! ...... nice piece of integrity on display there Bill .... perhaps you have only taken leave from your old job for 12 months ... hope so, cos you are gonna need it next Nov
it's true that folks have withdrawn from the republican party registry in big numbers .... only the 'moderates' are left
there is a SWATHE of conservatives swelling the Independent ranks now (latest national pew poll, 40% identify as conservative, 20% as liberal)
only chance dems have of keeping control of Congress 2010 is if BHO gets those unemployment figures down ..... REAL figures are near 20% at present ...... current economic policies are job killers, so it doesn't look good for the dems
What a stark contrast for the 5 pm slot from last year where it was normally 100 something k
The Judge does GOOD for BECK - so does Eric Bolling who is in for BECK today (mon)
Zombies will watch any Fox Opinion Channel crap.
You guys can't think up something different.
Fox lies, Bush is stupid, blah, blah, blah.
Talk about a zombie, you sound just like your hero Oldumbman.
