So now Hillary supporters are against Keith Olbermann?

[mudesi]

That's it. You've confirmed once and for all, without a doubt, that you people cannot be reasoned with in any rational manner whatsoever.

Keith Olbermann. Just....Wow.

It would be nice if some Clinton supporters replied here that they are not among those who are so completely delusional that they would think Keith Olbermann, of all people, is the enemy.

You know, I hear Limbaugh is a Hillary Clinton supporter. Is it not too far off that we see pro Rush Limbaugh threads appear in this sewer formerly known as General Discussion: Politics?

:crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf: :crazy: :wtf:

[OzarkDem]

1. When he makes baseless charges against her, yes

that coupled with his weird attitude about women he discusses on his show.

I like him sometimes, but he's a bit bombastic. He jumped the shark on this one AFAIC.

[jenmito]

7. He QUOTED her! Baseless charges? NO! Deal with the truth. Don't shoot the messenger.

[ihavenobias]

41. Exactly. It's like when conservatives complain that Media Matters smears them...

Media Matters just gives you transcripts, audio and video of what various people say. If anything, these people are "smearing" themselves.

She is hurting Obama and more importantly for Hillary supporters, she's ultimately hurting herself by making an argument that benefits McCain in the short *and* long run for the general election. I understand her supporters are defensive (as we all are WRT our candidate of choice), but at some point you have to step back and really look hard at this situation.

These latest tactics are questionable ethically AND politically, for both Dem candidates and for the Democratic party in general.

[jenmito]

53. Yup...

I can't believe they're so strongly FOR Hillary that they're willing to throw ANYONE under the bus who dares to QUOTE their candidate and call them out on their outrageous comments.

[hueyshort]

69. Olbermann DISTORTED Fairytale Gate

He kept ranting about Clinton on Fairytale without clarifying exactly
what this was.

Finally, Dan Abrams played the Clinton comment in entirety.
It turned out to be NOTHING. There was absolutely nothing.

Keith was just beating up on her and faking a big scandel.

I lost respect for him immediately. I resent being hoodwinked.
He is just playing to Daily Kos readers, the few who are left.
Most of the comments come from sock puppets.

[olkaz]

72. "He is just playing to Daily Kos readers, the few who are left."

Are you serious? The few who are left?

I can't tell whether you're trying to diminish the site somehow by stating an utter falsehood, or whether there was some sort of Hillary rebellion there that I missed.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

81. Pot meets kettle

[Yael]

29. What happened -- did he overstate the traffic reports at a rally?

[OzarkDem]

36. Where are the multitudinous crowds?

Obama isn't drawing the big crowds since Hillary won.

[Yael]

64. Where has he spoken last night or tonight

and what were the numbers?

Same question for her.

Thanks in advance! :hi:

[Bright Eyes]

2. A year ago, he was the most wonderful newsman in America

Now he's apparently a right-winger.....becuase he hasn't sufficiently kissed Clinton's a$$.

[Mags]

3. Olberman is a totally infomercial for Obama

I loved him with the anti bush stuff. but he has taken sides in the primary contest and now I have lost all respect for him

[jenmito]

12. You should've lost all respect for HILLARY-not him. He's quoting her-not smearing her.

[movonne]

14. And he cares...pretty soon you will have to listen to Limpballs he's

for hillary...

[juajen]

34. I still love him, but I am not tuning in right now.

He should have remained neutral. MSNBC has been horribly biased against Hillary and I just refuse to listen anymore. After the primary season is over, I will tune back in.

[polichick]

4. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[nomorewhopper]

5. hillary supporters are against anybody who is against them

looks like it's them against the world

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. her supporters are against anyone who relies on facts.

nuff said.

[bigtree]

17. not facts. distortions in a political campaign.

clumsy overblown politics here, practiced by political fools. (like myself)

[juajen]

39. And, ya'll call CNN the Clinton News Network.

Pot calling kettle black. I'll just listen to ABC and CNN. I'm perfectly happy with that, and you should certainly listen to whom you want. This is American, right?

[anigbrowl]

42. I really don't find CNN that biased.

They just want the race to keep goin as long as possible...since it's easy $$$ for them.

[YOY]

60. No that's the FReeps

and CNN seemed to be having no lack of love for Hillary this day...especially after enough of you complained.

[Catherine Vincent]

75. Yes, it is the freeps that say the Clinton News Network

It's also said here by rabid Obama supporters.

[gmudem]

6. He has not bowed down and kissed Hillary's feet

Therefore he must be destroyed.

[TheDonkey]

8. One HC supporter tried to call KO out as a pathological "woman hater"

They have gone off the deep end. Only Lou Dobbs seems to soothe their sorrows and FOX news.

[bigtree]

13. my wife calls him that. she calls it like she sees it. deal with it.

He's creepy with his celebrity bashing. I've said this for years. And he talks about women like he's in a locker room, instead of on a national broadcast.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. He's dead to them now.....

:rofl:

Like anyone else who dare question the ridiculous behavior of Ms. McClinton.

[Mags]

yeah ,when he lost all respect for balance, he lost me

he is totally Obama, so I have not respect for him any more. He is no longer open minded. Thats ok, I can watch someone else. Just disappointed in his rhetoric.

[movonne]

22. As I said before listen to Limpballs he' s for hillary...

[Mags]

30. cut the crap. I don't listen to Limbaugh, I listen to Hannity

thanking you guys for helping him with the Stop Hillary Campaign. He thanks you all everyday.

[Beregond2]

24. Not

"...not open minded." That's rich, coming from a Clinton supporter. I haven't seen such blind fanaticism since the Bushies in 2000.

[DearAbby]

38. There is always Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly, Rush

Fox too:evilgrin:

[Hepburn]

86. May I suggest Rush Limbigot....he LOVES Hillary. n/t

[goclark]

59. Love it ~ McClinton

:woohoo: :rofl:

[Tarheel_Dem]

76. I'm serious, they have now morphed into a unit....

There's an article somewhere around here that shows the ties between the McCain & Clinton campaigns, and it's really scary. I wish her supporters could be objective about this. The key players in those two campaigns are the same slimy people we've decried on this board for the past seven years. I really do believe that Nader has a valid argument this time, because except for the abortion issue, there's not a lick of difference between Clinton & McCain. Hell, they even have the same big money donors.

I found it:

A Few Degrees of Separation From Hillary Clinton's Top Adviser

By Jeffrey H. Birnbaum
Tuesday, February 20, 2007; Page A11

"Mark J. Penn is a man who wears many hats: high-paid political and corporate pollster, chief executive of an international communications and lobbying company, and chief strategist to New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Enough connections for you?

Well, there are more. Penn's firm, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide -- with 2,000 employees and $300 million a year in revenue -- owns BKSH & Associates, the major lobbying firm chaired by Charles R. Black Jr. That's right, Black, counselor to Republican presidents, reports to Clinton's top strategist.

The connections get even more entangled. Burson-Marsteller is a subsidiary of WPP Group, a London-based advertising and PR giant that owns many of the biggest names on K Street. These include Quinn Gillespie & Associates, Wexler & Walker Public Policy Associates, Timmons & Co., Ogilvy Government Relations Worldwide (formerly the Federalist Group), Public Strategies Inc., Dewey Square Group and Hill & Knowlton.

To be more precise, Penn's parent company employs as lobbyists and advisers an ex-chairman of the Republican National Committee (Edward W. Gillespie), a former House GOP leader (Robert S. Walker), a top GOP fundraiser (Wayne L. Berman), and the former media adviser to President Bush (Mark McKinnon)."

Well worth the read, if you haven't already.

[bigtree]

11. Oh, now we can't disagree with another one of your icons?

seig heil.

[Zachstar]

15. K and fucking R!!!

It is sickening seeing these Hillbots trash him. He has EARNED his position to expose Clinton for what she is! So if Hillbots want to try to trash him and urge people to turn of MSNBC then they are punks that deserve no respect from us.

He has been one of the STRONGEST media forces against Bush and his bullshit. Now they treat him like shit.

Un-fucking believable!

:wtf:

[juajen]

44. I've asked no one to turn MSNBC off, but neither will I let anyone

tell me who I can or cannot watch. Get real, people! Who are you nuts?

[thereismore]

16. The responses to your post just produced 3 new Ignoreds. All HRC worshippers. nt

[JorgeTheGood]

18. No one should be surprised by KO ...

he's a Hillary hater pure and simple.

The sad part is he has the pulpit from which he can spread his hate.

[Emit]

19. As Randi Rhodes puts it, "They're in love...with their candidate"

[The_Casual_Observer]

23. Did she really say "their"?

[Emit]

26. Yes,

It rhymes with "they're" and "there."

[jlake]

20. Yes, when he turns the fire on a good Democrat rather than the real enemy of democracy

I take issue with that. KO has shown himself to be a pandering hack and a giant sexist prick in the last few months.

[Yael]

32. You mean like Hillary endorsing John McCain?

[jlake]

37. The same way Obama endorsed St. Ronnie's corpse?

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[laconicsax]

57. Which time?

[Yael]

67. You run with that

Thinking members of society understood what he was saying.

Transformative does not mean automatically "good", it means "transformative".

[jlake]

71. His tone said it all. Obama is a Reagan love!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

54. Prick? I guess it's ok to call Shrillary a bitch now? Huh?

[jlake]

83. You're not fooling anyone.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. No, Olbermann is against Hillary.

[galadrium]

25. Ann Coulter is a Hillary supporter... they both attack Democrats about the same

[rosetta627]

27. Olberman tells the truth, which reflects poorly on Hillary

So they shoot the messenger.

[ruggerson]

28. Dan Abrams is about the only objective sane voice left on MSNBC

Olbermann is actually worse than Matthews, because he has a brain and is systematically spinning propoganda against one of our candidates.

[Medusa]

46. LOL. Because Abrams kisss Hillary's ass?

:rofl:

[KAZ]

31. Whack jobs. n/t

[David Zephyr]

33. Hmmm. Ann Coulter & Rush Limbaugh support Hillary, but her supporters hate Keith.

Hillary in Wonderland.

[anigbrowl]

43. Word.

[meow mix]

35. yup

:wtf:

[NC_Nurse]

40. They used to love KO, not anymore.

They used to call out the Repubs for fear-mongering, now they say if you have a problem with it you're naive or "get over it".
The DLC used to be clearly reviled on this site. I guess now they're cool
Being the corporate candidate is apparently now fine too.

:eyes:

[juajen]

50. Why don't ya'll just reply to your own posts, instead of putting

words in our mouths?

[Canuckistanian]

45. So KO's got an opinion. So sue him.

He didn't make a name for himself being on the fence. About anything.

Right or wrong, he's now made his choice.

Condemn him or respect him.

But you can't dismiss him.

[KaptBunnyPants]

47. The truth is the enemy.

She can't honestly win at this point, so anyone who points out how she plans to undermine democracy and the Democratic Party in order to achieve her power-hungry ends must be destroyed.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

48. The Hillbat's refuse to see reality as it is. Given their candidates support of a Republican

and now their hate for KO, I'm sure they can find a home over at Fox...

[Ravy]

49. I think it is KO who is against Hillary supporters. nt

[emilyg]

51. Never cared for him.

[skooooo]

52. Olbermann is now a rightwinger according to Hillary supporters...

Hello? anyone home??

[bleowheels]

55. Isn't it ironic that it was Jack Nicholson who exclaimed "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"...

and now it is Jack's candidate's supporters who cannot handle Keith speaking the truth.

[Dinger]

56. We Can All Assume That Keith Will Vote For Obama, He Should Just Endorse Him Then

Or can he do that? Are journalists allowed? I'm just asking because I don't know. If he can be one-sided in his coverage of Clinton/Obama, why not just endorse? I'm a Hillary supporter, and I wouldn't have a problem with that.
By "hinting" at support, and not endorsing, he can get More Hillary supporters (like me) to watch. Maybe that's the idea.
Whatever.

[Berry Cool]

65. Keith doesn't vote.

That's how concerned he is about NOT letting his personal feelings influence his work.

Not that anyone seems to believe it, or care.

[Straight Shooter]

58. I stopped listening to Keith long before the dustup between Hillary and Barack.

The hyperbole and the overly dramatic presentation of his "Special Comments" was over the top. Keith became a parody of himself.

Let me add, whenever you address a group of individuals as "you people," you really lower the tone of the debate you seek.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

61. I'm still a Keith fan & watch every night but he has been very unfair to her.

I will like him a lot better once this election is over.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

62. The Obama supporters have thrown Joseph Wilson, Edwards, etc. under the bus.

It's a huge list....

[AtomicKitten]

63. The truth is biased and makes Hillary sad.

[Thickasabrick]

66. Keith Olbermann is for the truth and will always be my hero no matter

who he supports.

[bvar22]

68. Reality has a definite Obama bias.

No matter what the Hillary acolytes pray for, fantasize, or dream about,

Obama WILL go to the Convention with a sizable MAJORITY of Pledged Delegates.

Nothing posted on DU will change that.

[Edgewater_Joe]

70. And I Thought Obama Supporters Were The Cultists

I guess I was wrong.

[question everything]

73. You don't read many threads closely, do you?

We, Hillary supporters, have ignored Olbermann and his guests from Newsweek since they did not even bothered to show their bias against her from the very first debate.

[Catherine Vincent]

74. I'm not against Keith Olbermann. nt

[Beacool]

77. Other than Dan Abrams, every other pundit at MSNBC is disgusting

as far as I'm concerned. I hear more objectivity from Fox than from them. I stopped watching that crappy network a while ago.

One worse than the other: Tweety, Carlson, Scarborough, Shuster and now Olberman.


:puke: :puke: :puke:

[krkaufman]

78. Yep, KO dared quote her, and also commented-on her support of McCain ...

... over a fellow Democrat.

[bridgit]

79. Olberman isn't G_d, and I have nothing but advise for anyone that thinks he is...

[BlueStater]

80. I liked him until his show became an hour long campaign commerical for Obama

And I'm not Hillary supporter, either. Far from it.

[mudesi]

82. .

[Political Heretic]

84. Whoever the nominee is, they'll be thankful for him again in the General.

[niceypoo]

85. Olberman has taken the "I hate the Clinton family" baton from the Republicans

Why would any democrat support that?
