Keith O's "soft bigotry of low expectations" on display on MSNBC. Calling Obama losses as wins

[Proud2BAmurkin]

"Can't you sort of say that's a win for Obama?"

:rofl:

[jasmine621]

1. I used to think highly of KO until these primaries and his blatant

Hillary hate. He and Rachel lose all objectivity when it comes to Hillary. I don't even mind that they support Obama but the stuff they spew just turned me.

[Clinton Crusader]

3. EXACTLY! If they want to support Obama, FINE! But this rampant Hillary hatred

is really overboard and borders on insanity. Why I turned MSNBC OFF. I miss Keith and what I *thought* was his sanity. The whole MSNBC mindset is beyond the pale. Off they went, never to return.

[neutron]

19. KO is a key reason we Dropped Cable

He is a sanctamonious a*hole, and stopped speaking the truth
in order to accodate his little follwing of Daily Kurse bloggers.

He and Matthews are 2 pees in a pod.

[Matariki]

44. Daily Kurse bloggers?

Curses. Those meddling left wing bloggers. I know, let's dump cable - that'll show them.

[ClericJohnPreston]

47. Sadly, I must agree

I have never seen such blatant outright spinning of all issues. It's so obvious, you would have to be blind, deaf and dumb to not see it.

They have an anti-Hillary, anti-McCain spin on everything.

WHY?

[rodeodance]

39. come visit us in the Hill thread. we are cool

[Roland99]

4. Sure it's not DLC hate?

[Tektonik]

7. Then he'd hate Obama as well

:eyes:

[Roland99]

13. I seemed to have missed the memo that Obama was beholden to the DLC

[jackson_dem]

16. Why do you think Barack does best in states with the most DLC Democrats?

Kansas, Utah, North Dakota, Idaho, etc.

[Roland99]

21. Uh...DLC Dems would be like those in New Hampshire, where Hillary won.

[jackson_dem]

31. NH is a swing state

The DLC's best states are places like Utah, Kansas, Idaho, and North Dakota. You cite NH. Even there Obama lost by only 2.

[Roland99]

37. As he was pulling in the youth vote. NH has been Republican for years

[jackson_dem]

38. Gore lost NH by 4,000 votes. Kerry won it.

Obama did well among all demographics in NH. What does age have to do with being DLC? There are conservative Democrats of all stripes. It seems they prefer Obama over Hillary.

[Roland99]

42. Thank you for proving my point.

[jackson_dem]

43. I proved it is a swing state

Kerry didn't win any Republican state. He lost many of the swing states. How can you call NH a rethug state when Gore almost won it and Kerry did?

[Roland99]

45. Look at the political history of NH. I'd pull up my post on it from then but the search is disabled.

[gmudem]

23. What slime

It could be because he actually campaigned in some of those places. Just because those are red states doesn't mean the Democrats there deserve to be ignored. Also voters in those states probably realize he will have a much more positive affect on down-ticket races than Clinton would.

[jackson_dem]

33. He is the only one who campaigned in Delaware

He is up by ten here. Compare that to his numbers in Kansas and what he will do in Utah, North Dakota, and Idaho later tonight. ;)

[Clinton Crusader]

46. WTF? Wasn't this about KO? :shrugs and walks away:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If You Do A Search Obama Has As Many DLC Endorsements As Hillary

You can start with John Kerry, Adam Smith, and Arthur Davis...

[Roland99]

25. Like I said...where is it written or said he's beholden to anyone who endorses him?

[jackson_dem]

28. And Ben Nelson and Tim Johnson. Obama is as DLC as Hillary

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. they've lost control

[Hoof Hearted]

8. Amen. No pretense of "objective" journalism. He's as fair an balanced as O'Really.

[texastoast]

10. Keith has always been smart

This time is no exception. He knows what will happen if she is the candidate. Not that I won't work for her after the nomination if she is it.

[neutron]

36. what will happen?

We'll get good healthcare, a stable economy and a balanced budget?
The horror.

[LibraLiz1973]

11. Totally agree

[Marie26]

27. Say what you will about CNN,

but at least they're showing some objectivity. I can't tell who Anderson Cooper supports. But the MSNBC crew makes it very obvious whom they support. Even FOX News broadcasters have been more objective in their coverage.

[slor]

2. You know what he means...

you just had to take a jab at Obama.

[catagory5]

5. no we dont know what he means

no "we" dont know what he means! Other than he tries to diminish her victories. I am sorry, I used to love KO. But after the last 3 weeks of taking every chance to piss on her, no more. Dare I say it, I am watching fox and cnn. Freakin FOX ughhhhh.

[blm]

15. When someone is up by 40% not too long ago and the other closes in the final weeks

the way Obama is, it shows WEAKENING of the TeamClinton campaign and the AMAZING SURGE and STRENGTHENING of Obama's.

What part of that is escaping your ken?

It means Dems stand the chance of going into the election with a campaign team that is showing all the signs of weakening as a force.

[incapsulated]

9. Fuck him. And no, he was never my "hero"

He's just a guy on tv for the love of god.

[texastoast]

12. A smart guy with smart perspective

And you know it.

[incapsulated]

20. He is smart and has balls and....?

He isn't my personal hero. I don't really give a flip what he thinks or says at the end of the day, I don't watch him that often and I DON'T CARE.

[jlake]

14. I used to have respect for KO. He is a blatant shill for Obama.

:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[jillan]

17. Unbelievable how they are talking how Obama is having such a great nite.

We are going to do something about this, right???

[blitzen]

26. well, Obama is sure to win at least 12 of the 22 states...

I'd say that's a pretty big night

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

18. Mike Malloy just called Hillary a Nazi on his show

It's hilarious, and kinda embarrassing, he's going over the deep end.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

22. lol jezus

[TheDebbieDee]

29. I tuned into his show in the middle of one of his rants tonight!

I had forgotten just how much he hates the Clintons.

[jillan]

35. He always goes over the deep end,

[milkyway]

24. Thanks for your input, george. When did DU start framing things based on bush speeches?

[tammywammy]

30. Nice Bushism there

[robbedvoter]

32. The W treatment - it's good for him - whatever happens.

[McCamy Taylor]

34. Or what about "McCain only wins Blue states", but no one mentions Obama wins Red states only.

Iowa, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama--when was the last time these states broke for the Democratic presidential candidate in the general election?

Everything their "pundits" are saying about McCain--he may not be able to energize the base in the general election, he is perceived of as too middle of the road for the Party faithful---these apply to Obama, too.

When they say it about McCain but not about Obama it means either

1. They do not respect the Democratic Party base and believe that any candidate who energizes that base must be bad

or. 2. They are biased in favor of Obama.

[Berry Cool]

40. I guess KO is now an equal-opportunity hate object.

The Obama supporters are convinced he's a Hill Shill, and have turned him off in disgust, never to watch him again.

The Hillary supporters are equally disgusted with his blatant shilling for Obama, and have also turned him off in disgust, never to watch him again.

Both groups are going on and on about how they USED to love him, but since they found out how badly biased he is in favor of the "other" candidate, it's all over.

Funny how that works.

[blm]

41. What a Rovian thing to say. True colors?

.

[ClericJohnPreston]

48. Hillary may be winning more States

more of the popular vote, BUT, Obama is doing better than expected.

Give me a break and start exposing this empty suit Obama already!
