Ack!

I can't watch that guy, even on youtube.

[wsc321]

Anyone else think Olbermann is absolutely the worst of all cable news folks? He strikes me that way.

[RM918]

He was sort of amusing when Bush was in office. Then he basically turned into the liberal O'Reilly.

I actually find him far worse than O'Reilly. I first listened to him when I saw posts in this forum about his rants against Bush-era Constitutional abuse. He seemed credible. But then, even when RP became something of a phenomenon, Olbermann refused to even utter RP's name. And, this was at the same time Naomi Wolf stood up and applauded Dr. Paul for his stand against those same abuses.

Since then, Olbermann appears to me a 100% partisan hack... I mean, a stand out. I believe anyone that thinks Olbermann is capable of even a small measure of fairness in regard to anyone in the Republican party is mistaken.

Olbermann is on the record agreeing that ALL Tea Party protestors are racist. That's on the record. That, alone, disqualifies both him and MSNBC in my book.

[swirling_vortex]

This guy still thinks he's relevant? Last time I checked, Fox was wiping the floor with MSNBC on ratings.

Although at least Keith Olberdouche is slightly more tolerable than Rachel Madcow.

The problem with using high ratings as a guage for what is relevant is most of those shows are more conducive to the mindset of the drooling entertainment starved Sheeple. O'Reilly...American Idol.....etc.
There's more of them than there are of the informed critical thinker

There were rumors (back then) that Olbie is a fraud, and all those pro civil liberties monolgues were simply for ratings. He did not in his heart believe any of it.. This was allegedly told by several aquantances of this.

It has come to pass, that this is true. Obviously this political hack can care less about civil liberties and will be among the first ones calling for our arrest and detainment if some nutjob does something stupid. Just a year ago, I wouldn't have thought this was possible, but now I see that it is. We are already dubbed political terrorists by this for simply standing in opposition.

Do not trust anyone from MSM, anyone, ever.

People like him because he has that deep voice and aura of integrity. They mistake that for credibility because of his confidence.

[Cowlesy]

At least BillO has opposing views on his program. Olbermann tolerates NO dissent, and in fact his whole tyrade was against dissenting opinions.

And he sounds like his nose is ever so slightly stuffed.

Really? I like Maddow much better.

People like him because he has that deep voice and aura of integrity. They mistake that for credibility because of his confidence.He reminds me of a sportscaster. Whenever I listen to him I imagine he got his start as a local sports guy and weasled his way up.

Oreilly and Hannity are the two most watched shows? America is doomed.

Even if you disagree with Foxnews at least they are not spewing hate. Considering the hate speech on that scumbags program is so over the top I think it should be fairly easy to launch a campaign to persuade advertisers to go elsewhere.

Anyone know of a site handling this that has a list of Olbermann advertisers?

[xd9fan]

wow keith wake up....stop drinking the koolaid get obamas dick out of your ass.

That's true, I hate his agreement fests with his army of sycophants. His special comments and worst person segments are sometimes watchable unless they are about the economy.

You don't think Bill Oreilly spews hate?

He is not a Conservative and if you watch him you realize he is to the center-left but just not extreme left like Olbermann. So his opinions differ in some respect to mine but he has yet to insult me personally in the process. This unlike Olbermann which seems to be an never ending hate show against Conservatives.

We are teabaggers or are members of Hezbollah or Hamas in that scumbag Olbermanns eyes.

You might be right about this, to some extent, but anyone that was anti-war during the last adminstration was accused of being "with the terrorists", or aiding and abetting AL Quada. This came from Bush, all the way down to his propaganda machine including Hannity, Oreilly, Savage, etc. Don't you remember?

[BenIsForRon]

Olbermann used to be a good guy. Maybe we can get that guy back one day.
