Unfuckingbelievable. How can Americans hate Keith Olbermann?
 

So I was watching some youtube videos on the commentaries of Keith Olbermann, and I was stunned that there was actually someone who was absolutely truthful on national television (and not a comedian) regarding the facts about American politics. Everything he says, every point he makes is backed by hard evidence and proof, and not just opinionated.



And yet I read the comments on these videos, and I am absolutely shocked at how fucking stupid some people - despising this man like sane people would despise Bill O'Reilly.

"Does this jack a** think he's a comedian or something? I can't believe people watch this stuff more less post it like it's something anyone would want to see."

"Keith Oberman... Biggest Liberal piece of shit in the World! "

"ha ha that commie bastard Oberman finally got what he deserved! fired!! ha ha ha"

Unreal. No wonder the polls are so close between McCain and Obama.
Are 50% of Americans really this fucking stupid??

Sorry, the clip is here

" they hate our freedoms " ....

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf"

Are you serious? Olbermann just got removed from being one of the main commentators for the elections. Its a fairly small minority that like the guy.

Bump for this gem. :thumbsup

I agree

but honestly, I believe that the powers that be whom control american media... and banks etc ....

did not want OB on because he wasnt in the tank for a certain foriegn country who has gotten us in a lot of shit


well those countrymen from that country put the call out and bye bye chris and kieth :(

really ad ... they were the best

It's funny, the left say the media is right. The right say the media is clearly left.

The guy has some points, but at the same time he is stupid. As if we don't know what people he is talking about it. Which is probably why nobody followed up with, what people?

He will "never" get support by saying "you let 4,000 people die for nothing" - Even if the war was illegal, lied to, ect.. the people related to these 4,000 people will never think they died for nothing and neither will the people.

he's a condescending snobby prick who can't fathom the possibility that someone might hold a differing opinion... plus... he spends WAY too much time worrying about what o'reilly and fox are doing...

exactly....



.

Come on, I am no republican, but that guy is a frothing mouth rabid liberal that spews angry opinion non stop.

Your an idiot. A shitload of people like him. The right wing lackeys that own all of the media outlets couldnt handle this truthfullness. Your the most gullible person on this board.

He spews a ton of shit that even the left/liberal groups say, huh too. If it makes the left go huh, it makes the right go insane.

He has good intent, he puts in lots of good messages but you can't mix that with slander and hate. He can be correct but hating our troops and saying they died for nothing isn't going to get you any love.

Personally, I would kick the guy in the balls rather than shake his hand.

I agree with most of what he says. What I don't agree with is that he is becoming exactly like Bill O'reily, just on the left, which makes him a bonehead.

I could go on the television and say the same things Olberman does and so could most people on this board. He's not saying anything liberals don't already know. What WE NEED is someone smart enough to package that so we can convince conservatives.

Olbermann is a cheap propagandist of the worst sort. :disgust

Olbermann is a rapid liberal when he's supposed to be neutral. He doesn't know when to turn it on and off !

LOL..if all you good hearted republicans say hes too liberal..I say good. Compared to all the left wing nuts that are on tv atleast we got someone with half brain on tv.
I love when pussy ass republicans say that he hates soldiers because he speaks out against the corrupt leadership that sends our troops into harms way for capital gain. You guys really are the worst kind of idiots.

Liberal is not a bad word as long as your not talking about spending, but thats not what your talking about. Your talking about how bad it is for americans to have civil liberties and that makes you stupid as fuck.

bahhh, 99% of gfy is liberal, 99% of usa isnt, and most of u guys are from canada too, lol so this post and viewpoint is really insignificant... bahhhh , preachin to the choir , bahhh

yeah i'm with you, he's a putz!!

At least you admit it. :1orglaugh

But at least I know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE. You are a herpes sore on the genitals of gfy. Oh and a coward that is too much of a pussy to use their real nick to post their political opinions. :2 cents:

What are you talking about. He backs every one of his statements with factual proof that his comments are truthful. Bill OReilly just spews out shit with nothing backing it.

one thing i dont get.. liberal is the root word of liberty. what america stands for, for fuck sakes. how can you call him 'liberal' and treat it as an insult?

you people are funny if it wasnt for free thinking liberals. You wouldn't be making a living in adult. Man its like Jews for the nazi's or chickens for Colonel Sanders. lol

The polarization in this country is bitter and non-rational.

Nothing will fix it but a war to the knife.

Which is coming.

Because you have Right wing douche bags like savage and rush sayin over 40 hrs a week.
You say something long enough people start to believe it.

that statement made no sense to my canadian eyes

https://youtube.com/watch?v=0sePswUO4e0 oh look there he is truthfully speaking (badly) of democrats.

I make more with 1 of my freesites than you make with that whole group of garbage webpages you call a program. I dont have to show you how I make to prove I know WAY more about this industry than you.

Anyone who dont believe me just go look at your html which I pointed out to you months ago. Your fucking clueless and everyone is laughing at you, not with you. :)

Amended
Because you have Right wing douche bags like savage and rush saying liberal like its a dirty word over 40 hrs a week.
You say something long enough people start to believe it.

when is he supposed to be neutral? Seems to me he's a commentator not a reporter.

He's not so much a liberal as he is rabid anti-bush.

I think he comes off a little hard and over the edge but I don't think he tells any lies
in the process.

Yup you are awesome. You never WILL prove anything, because you are a full of shit surfer who wants to let Ron Paul cum in his hairy ass.

Damn this guy has some balls to tell it like it is.

if i was just a surfer I wouldnt know exactly what your program is and you know it. I would love to bury the hatchett and I have told my self a hundred times I should not put down your biz in retaliation of your trolling abilities, but your just such and asshole and I see you as a threat to our industry with all all your "adapt or die" shit and your useless right wing garbage that you post.

Agreed 100%

I don't care for him but I hate all one-sided political pundits. They tried to be the Democratic version of Fox News. Both channels are just horrible to watch. I stick to CNN or BBC these days.

exactly. exactly what i thought when i first saw it. he tells it like it is, truthfully. NOT like O'Reilly. olbermann is not the left version of O'Reilly.

My only problem with him was he tried a bit too hard. I'd prefer him to have been a bit more snarky than "outraged", it's definately a great loss to be without one of the counter-balances to the right wing douches. It's a shame people can only handle their left wing douches with a sprinkling of comedy. It's like having to take the medicine of truth with a teaspoon of honey to help it go down... Or that Al Franken, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher have to throw bombs from behind a wall of comedy for fear of being seen as rabid and outraged like Olbermann. 10 minute monologues are never going to go down as well as jokes or focussed and short monosyllabic rants on fox talking points. Maybe he should have talked about Bush's "terrorist fist jabs" instead.

Yes I am a threat to the industry by keeping my content IN my members area. Boy you are stupid. And to call ME a troll? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What right wing garbage to I post exactly? I RESPOND. Show me a political thread I've made in the last year. Im just barely posting in political threads now except when I call out bs. lol

As for those arguing over whether being called a liberal is a good thing or a bad thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

The USA was founded on classical liberalism. Social liberalism != Classical liberalism. Liberals in the US and Canada today have more in common with socialism than they do with classical liberalism. Be sure to read this section on the wiki page linked above.

It's really pretty simple what happened.

Olbermann has the experience and credentials and intelligence to be a serious news anchor/journalist.

But when he went to MSNBC this time around, he (and MSNBC) chose to go the opinion route. And it has worked out well for him, to the tune of 4-5 mill a year or something like that.

But THEN.....MSNBC decided to use him as an ANCHOR on their election/convention coverage as well.
And he took his opinions with him to the convention's anchor desk, and made them more than obvious. It was, in a word, embarassing.

All of the journalists at NBC, who had to appear on-air with him during the election/convention coverage, were royally pissed, and there was an internal revolution.

Something had to give - and it was his election anchor duties.

Nothing's wrong with doing opinion on-air. But something's VERY wrong with doing opinion while anchoring news coverage.

MSNBC should have realized it was inevitable, but they've put their eggs in Olbermann's basket so they tried it anyway --- and then had to fix it. And they have, with a major dent in their rep.
