Just saw it on TV because I saw the teaser for it. I'm not sure which Republican party Olbermann would prefer, though.

[tonesforjonesbones]

Olberman is an absolute socialist jerk..tones

[Epic]

Olbermann tries to say that Graham is far-right and the hecklers are even further right.

Also, he says that the ron paul supporters are so far right they are left, in regards to the war issue.

More left/right paradigm.

[MsDoodahs]

Oberlman? Is that guy still on television?

I read that more people watch Fox's "Red Eye" show at 3:00 in the morning than watch all of MSNBC's shows combined.

I wonder if bathtub boy is still ranting on about the war?

Did he get all pissy when Code Pink was anti-war?

[SLSteven]

Olbermann is worrying that his comfortable right - left paradigm is beginning to falter.

That doesn't make sense, but then again, neither does Olbermann. He seems to be the most fake pundit on TV; how can anyone watch his special segments and not see that he is trying to act more emotional for effect? I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a closet-conservative. ;)

[jkr]

who?

chris berman?

WHOOP!

[HOLLYWOOD]

Kieth Uberhatermann is running out of targets to throw darts at, eh?

The Clown is the Credit Default Swap of US Senator 'Pinky' McCarthy.

Someone please... mail a pair of over-sized Big Red Shoes and a huge brass horn to 30 Rockefeller Plaza to this Boobtube Clown! :o

PS: I thought he knew better than to f@#k with RP supporters...

Bingo. His job is to perpetuate the false (faltering) paradigm.

Has anyone ever noticed that most of Olbermann's reporting revolves around badmouthing conservatives, libertarians, and republicans? Why the hell can't he just report breaking stories or something of interest? Oh wait, maybe that would be a bad idea. I'm sure he'll put that liberal spin on it and get his retarded viewers all riled up about some bullshit.

Olbermann is an liberal Democratic dickriding ******. Sorry to be so blunt, but so true.

[ctiger2]

One thing about the MSM is that they just can't connect the dots. It's the message of personal liberties, sound money, stop wars, smaller govt, no bailouts etc that has people are riled up. It's the message. It just so happens that the man with the message has so much integrity that people beleive in him when he talks. We all know that Ron Paul isn't lying to us. And if you listen to these Hecklers, you'd notice that they are shouting Ron Paul's name as responses to statements about expanding war, bailouts, health care etc. They might as well be shouting Freedom. When people defame Ron Paul they are essentially defaming Freedom and that doesn't sit well. Ron Paul = Freedom. Just replace the words Ron Paul with Freedom and you'll see what Flimsy Graham is really saying: This isn't the party of freedom. Freedom isn't the leader of this party. I will not let freedom take over this party.

Does Olbermann still do those impassioned speeches on his show that were directed at the President
to bring the troops home? When Bush was in office, I remember at least a half a dozen of those
speeches. Now that Obama is in office, has Keith done any?

[georgiaboy]

^same question here. Was he the guy also keeping the running toll of the body counts? Is he still doing that?

Here's one where he calls Bush a fascist:

YouTube - Olbermann special comment: Bush is a liar and a fascist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG72_ATSTN4)

I love how on the Ron Paul video he ticks off a list of Graham's "conservative credentials" and says opposing the war is a "left" issue. If he used that standard along with civil liberties then Ron Paul would be "left" as well under his own method :rolleyes:

!#$@$ shill. The only one on the Left that has any credibility that I follow is Glenn Greenwald and he called Olbermann out on his FISA hypocrisy. (http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/06/26/olbermann/)

[Brian4Liberty]

Yeah, that and more. He also wants to make sure that red-herrings like abortion stay at the forefront. Got to keep everyone agitated about the wrong things. He also painted the "new right" and "Ron Paul Republicans" as religious fundamentalist wackos. He is just enforcing the left's stereotypes of all Republicans, and trying to discredit and misrepresent the liberty movement. Olbermann is all about lies and propaganda.

[BudhaStalin]

Olbermann was kinda cool when he was bashing Bush but now that Obama is in power and pretty much doing the same things where has all the criticism gone?

The guy is just a fucking hypocrite. He'd flame right wing pundits like O'RLY for being partisan pawns during the Bush years (in which I'd of course agree), but he is just the same.

Ron Paul is playing the role of John Wilkes, and will historically be seen as the same type of "within the system" lighting rod. In this vein, I suggest people start adding "...and liberty" onto any chanting. All of our plans are better served by starting to look temporally beyond Ron anyway.

[Athan]

Olberman doesn't just sound confused, I think he really is confused.
No more neo-cons.

I'm with you there. I almost loved the guy when we were all attacking GWB. Now Obama's in it's all reversed for Olberman. Oh well.

(edit to continue) but let's not loose sight of the "enemy on our side", Beck, Hannity et al.

He'd have to invent some new political spectrum chart thats a circle or a sphere... thought i cant picture how you could accomplish it..

By his own definition as I you see in the video I posted he'd be in the fascist category with George W. Bush as he now supports FISA along with his hero Obama.

The only metric that would fit for scumbag like Olbermann is a flip-flop shaped graph or two-faced coin that could just be flipped with the electoral fortunes of the Democratic Party.

YouTube - "You have no remaining credibility about Iraq, sir." - Keith Olberman lays waste to Bush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-lVnfpZwnQ)

At :47 Olberman says:

"'I'm playing for October, November', Mr. Bush said to Draper. That is evidently the time it will take to sell us the real plan, which is to quote him; 'To get us in a position in which the presidential candidates will become comfortable about sustaining a presence...' Comfortable, that is, about saying about Iraq-again quoting the president, 'stay longer'. And there it is sir, we've caught you. Your goal is not to bring some troops home, maybe, if we let you have your way now- your goal is not to set the date for eventual withdrawl- you are- to use your own tone-deaf, disrespectul word- playing at getting the next Republican nominee to jump in to this bottomless pit with you, and to take us with him- to get us to stay in Iraq for another year, and another, and another, and another... "

He is a disgusting pig of a shill.

[Cowlesy]

He's been reading too much Michelle Goldberg apparently.

"Politics is now about the answer to one briefly worded question. Mr Bush has failed, Mr. Warner has failed, Mr. Reid has failed, so - Who among us will stop this war, this war of lies?"

Captain Obvious: Knock knock Mr. Olbermann
KO: Who's there?
CO: Ron Paul
