KO story 5. Hillary bash leadoff. Now it's testicular fortitude....

[Neshanic]

Pansygate still going.

Obama needs a nice leash for Keith when he walks him.

[anonymous171]

1. How Clinton can court both the gay community and rural reagan democrats is beyond me.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Because she's not being held accountable.....

and lying is second nature to her.

[TankLV]

21. Because she has't thrown us gay persons under the bus in favor of the "wright" stuff...

obama made a conscious decision to go after the black bigoted vote and sacrifice the GBLT and run over them...

While the Clintons are the best friends the GBLT community ever had in high office...

It was a CONSCIOUS decision...

So now it has BACKFIRED - BIGTIME!!!

HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Deal with it...!!!

[Neshanic]

23. That's their problem. They can't deal with it.

Obama put in TWENTY YEARS and wrote a BOOK about his personal earthly saviour/campaign fixer/confidant.

Look what happened to him.

[Hoof Hearted]

30. I'm sure it is, and it explains much.

[cali]

2. and you need a bit of cheese with your whine.

Brie or Stilton?

[chimpymustgo]

4. Keith has really lost his grip on reality. His judgement is skewed. He is drunk on the kool-ade.

His analysis is bizarre - he's just whacked. I'm turning back to O'Reilly. Lordy.

[Neshanic]

7. He really needs to dress the part as Obama's paramour.

[JoFerret]

37. Ranting should be left to Colbert

.

[islandmkl]

5. back to back frenchie cat and cali....

two of my favorites....:hi:

thanks

[ErinBerin84]

6. I'm sorry,

but I think that it's a bit bizarre that the Hillary supporter who introduced her had to pull the "testicular fortitude" line. I mean, we get it. She's tough. But that sounds so ridiculous.

[Neshanic]

8. Now mentions Michelle and her "Best answer!" and topic is officially closed.

It's sad. He's really in a snit over Hillary, and cannot constrain his worship of Obama.

[gmudem]

9. And Clinton supporters are more concerned about the scary black man

Than actual things that affect people. Olbermann is doing his best to bring the campaign back to reality, and Clinton supporters desperately want to avoid that.

[Neshanic]

11. That's why the fawning fluff piece with Michelle and Obama. He's really zoning in

as he shills the BIG interview.

He might as well just give that clip with music as a campaign ad. He's really gone too far on the Obama love.

[gmudem]

17. And Michelle's talking about bringing the campaign back to reality

Something the Clinton campaign is clearly opposed to. With all the things that are going wrong in this country right now it is completely befuddling to me as to why people are talking about this guy so much. The Clinton campaign and her supporters should be embarrassed and ashamed that they have exploited this crap so much.

But hey at least the Clinton campaign wants to save me 20 bucks in gas money over the summer. That should solve the problem.

[Neshanic]

19. Oh, I'm sorry, she was talking about how she did not want her husband to

be a politician. She almost in passing talked about "issues".

She also was very short with Meridith. Not good. She consistantly comes across badly.

[ErinBerin84]

22. we see what we want to see.

Personally, I'll take Michelle's response over Hillary's tart "I'm NOT SOME TAMMY WYNETTE, STANDING BY HER MAN!" moment from some years back, but that's just me and I'm biased.

[sandnsea]

25. She hasn't told her sniper fire story yet

You'll be gaga over her when you hear that one!!

[gmudem]

26. Of course you don't like her

She won't deal with the Clinton campaign's bs. But whatever, as the poster below said we see what we want to see.

[Neshanic]

27. Ya think? She's as charming as a block of ice.

[notfullofit]

36. That's why I quit watching him too. nt

[madwivoter]

41. He was able to air that clip because it was done for the Today Show

...which is also on NBC. Who wouldn't?

[Political Heretic]

28. I don't think he worships Obama, I think he hates the Clinton campaign.

I think he'd be on this even of some other Democratic candidate was the frontrunner. I think he feels what I feel, that her campaign tactics offend me as a Democrat and an American. Her campaign basically represents the absolute worst of politics and everything I despise about the Washington establishment political process.

[stray cat]

10. Hillary's supporter must have attended an abstinence only class instead of sex ed.

[walldude]

12. Meanwhile Hillary is on O'Reilly..

But he needs a loofa not a leash.... :rofl:


Why is it Hillary supporters can stomach her legitimizing a known sexual predator?

[Neshanic]

14. Obama was never on his show?

[walldude]

18. Uh.. no he wasn't. He was on Chris Wallace and I made sure

to berate him for it just as I am berating Hillary for appearing on O'Reilly.

[Neshanic]

20. Fox is Fox.

[Political Heretic]

29. Yeah, they both get a ding for that bullshit.

[mcctatas]

13. Oh goody...

now we can hear all the hillary supportes talking about how he's Obama's biggest fan, yada yada yada. It's funny how his opinions were lauded by many on DU when he was standing up for progressives all over, but now that he doesn't buy hillary's nasty bullshit he's somehow unacceptable...


and that thump you heard was another good progressive getting thrown under Hillary's limosine! Fucking assinine bullshit!

[Neshanic]

15. He still is a good man. He jumped the shark on Obama though.

[jefferson_dem]

16. That's ok. Hillary's busy giving BillO a falafel rub-down for all to see.

[Jed Dilligan]

24. Shh!

Your not supposed to talk about Clinton BillOwjobs here.

[madrchsod]

31. i always thought hillary was a ball breaker

i guess that show`s how much i know....

[jgraz]

32. There is nothing more pathetic than bitter Hillbots bashing Keith Olbermann

[barack the house]

33. Do we make our politics respectful to all Americans or do we drag it down to no representation.

Just asking ?

[halliburtonsux]

34. Great post. K&R.

n/t

[Secret_Society]

35. I really like KO

But have stopped watching him during the primaries. Also, I think it would be great if he continued to expose Bush and Republicans, but it might be more effective if it didn't come with the childish insults (though they do tend to make me laugh)

[MagickMuffin]

38. He only played the clip of her endorsement where the endorser mentioned her Testicular Fortitude

Silly you can't understand he was "reporting" about what someone else said on the campaign trail:shrug:

So, you should take it up with the Steel workers UNION, if you're upset that Hillary now has BALLS. Maybe they're made of STEEL:rofl:

[rodeodance]

44. Its the mocking tone as he reported the story that was sleasly.

Now it's testicular fortitude....

[Tennessee Gal]

39. KO has greatly disappointed me recently.

He has lost me as viewer.

[madwivoter]

40. You have to admit the "testicular fortitude" thing was a pretty inane statement

If that same statement was made by someone announcing their endorsement of Obama, what would the fallout be from that?

[rodeodance]

42. Does Obama have it Would be the question.

[Dogmudgeon]

43. Keith's disconnect is remarkable

I can well understand taking sides, and even actively supporting a candidate. When declared openly and discussed freely, it can open insightful dialog. But Olbermann's conversion experience seems to have been immediate and profound. In brief, Keith Olbermann has fallen in love, and his devotion is total. All regular guests who have anything positive to say about Hillary have been shut out. Literally ALL his news about Obama is laudatory (or exculpatory), and ALL news about Hillary is derogatory. Richard Wolff and Eugene Robinson have been visibly caught in dilemmas lately, and Robinson is a clear Obama supporter. Even Rachel Maddow, certainly no shill for Clinton, has been treading on dangerously thin ice.

The first big show-stopper came when he made a Special Comment excoriating Hillary for Geraldine Ferarro's remarks; four days later, when the Wright story broke, he was silent, and soon began lecturing us on the grave moral error of Guilt By Association.

Keith earned a lot of respect over the past few years. He's blown more of it than he can really afford to lose. And, let me repeat, it is not from simply taking sides, it's from pissing away his reputation for scrupulous fairness. Eye-rolling, giggling, and snide one-liners are not conducive to the gravitas Olbermann seeks to cultivate -- but acting on belief in campaign spin is fatal.

Edward R. Murrow certainly had his favorites and scapegoats alike, but made sure to report the body of the news and widely consider its possible political interpretations. It is Keith who needs the good luck now. Once the heat of the campaign has cooled, all he will have left is a reputation for falling in love rashly and feverishly. Even as a Hillary partisan, I will rue that day.

--p!

[susankh4]

46. You speak truth Pigwidgeon.

I have stopped watching K.O. because I can't stand to see him defend his beloved the way he does... like some kind of Knight defending his lady.

WTF is he thinking? He has lost all credibility.

[chimpymustgo]

47. Pigwidgeon, you have nailed it. Keith has thrown away his objectivity and his reputuation.

Sad.

[truebrit71]

45. More KO bashing from the usual Hilliots...

...don't you clowns have anything better to do? Like watching your pant-suited chipmunk knife a fellow Dem in the back on O'Really's show?
