KO on MSNBC says "Clinton and her so called candidacy" just now.

[NMDemDist2]

and that's it. I'm done.

CNN is now my place for politics.

Too bad too, I really really liked Countdown.

[Thrill]

1. Going with the Clinton News Network huh?

[MonkeyFunk]

99. Heheh

it was cute when Freepers called it that for years.

[QC]

116. Lots of freeper lingo has somehow made it into DU.

Sometimes I wonder if I have been sucked into a black hole and deposited in FR, late in 1998.

[Radical Activist]

118. "The era of big government is over."

It bothers me a lot more when leaders of my own party adopt freeper talking points. Maybe the era of the Clintons compromising and destroying the Democratic Party for their own short term benefit is finally over.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. What have you got a problem with.

You don't still think she's a legitimate candidate, do you?

[NMDemDist2]

18. I think she's run a hell of a campaign. and she's still running.

I gave up on the Presidential politics a few months ago when Edwards dropped out. I'm spending all my time and $$$ on the Congressional primary coming up here in less than 1000 hours.

I'll vote a straight Dem ticket no matter who wins the nomination, but Clinton has half the Dems and Obama has half the dems.

I don't need a pundit minimizing her amazing accomplishments to date. Or Obama's either.

If CNN is as biased toward Clinton as KO is toward Obama, I'll stop watching the news at all until it decided.

[mamalone]

23. "a Hell of a campaign"....

Yep, that's about how I'd describe it:(

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Oh, so you're completely naive.

Yes, then it's no wonder you're watching CNN.

[NMDemDist2]

73. name one other woman who has ever been even close to getting a major

party nomination?

just one.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

74. Shirley Chisholm.

She lost too.

[NMDemDist2]

78. she NEVER had this kind of voter support. she was the Dennis Kucinch of the 70s

trust me on this, I voted for her.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

82. Kucinich never won a single contest.

Chisholm won three.

She also didn't blow a 30 pt. lead like Clinton did and make a fool out of herself doing it.

[NMDemDist2]

83. none the less, Ms. Chisholm never had a real shot. Clinton did

what she did with it is another story.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

84. I'll say.

It only speaks to her incompetence.

Nothing to be proud of there.

[roguevalley]

92. clinton is losing and I don't care if she was moving her furniture

into the white house. just because she had a good shot doesn't make her the best candidate. she reminds me of an obnoxious little spoiled girl who wants the front of the line just because. God. I am so glad this is nearly over.

[MonkeyFunk]

107. Which 3 states did she win?

According to this, she won no primaries:

http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0104-20.htm

[MonkeyFunk]

101. Chisholm got less than 3%

of the vote in the 1972 primaries.

[roguevalley]

90. I don't support someone because they are a woman or man or

anything else. I want a set of issues that I support carried to the white house by a person. I will vote for a woman in the election when someone whom I can be proud of, respect and support without throwing up in my mouth. She is everything in a politician that I dislike and she will never have my respect or my vote. We can't just vote for someone because they are female. Vote for a female when they earn it.

[saracat]

36. Me too!

[SwampG8r]

58. i dont even believe that

she has a lot of votes she got before she exposed herself to america
i think that voters given the choice again would not support her with that high of a percentage
its called buyers remorse
shes the new poster girl
most of these contests have been strictly obama/clinton races
my belief is that you could replace the name clinton in that equation and possibly have a higher number
without regard to what name it was you used
obamas number however is solid



edited to add : woo hoo hoo my 1000th post yay me

[NMDemDist2]

59. 1000 posts!!! congratulations!!

:woohoo:

[roguevalley]

94. and what a good post, swampg8r :)

[roguevalley]

88. She hadn't been viable since February and if the press would be as

honest as Keith, then it would have been over by now. If she wasn't a clinton, she would have been kicked to the curb months ago. Slate has an article about how everyone in the press needs to pull their heads out and call and end to the fairy tale and the group delusion that she has been viable. Go, Keith.

[Political Heretic]

115. She ran a terrible campaign in the 1st - 3rd quarters, and an very strong campaign in the 4th

..but it just wasn't enough to pull of the victory

[Seen the light]

3. He's spot-on and that's why I love him

:hi:

[Hepburn]

46. I love KO, too!

I would love him no matter what ~~ all his great special comments about Booooosh...how could one stop loving KO after all of those!

:hi:

[joeybee12]

4. He's simply become part of the left-wing echo chamber...

...repeat the distortions and lies like the rest of the twits until the uninformed believe it's true.

[The Doctor.]

65. And yet you have NO idea what any of those 'left wing lies' might be...

Do you?

Let's see a few.

[joeybee12]

69. It was Clinton's people who met with the canadian officials...not true,

it was Obama's G (full name escapes me) who did and Obama lied about it...the lie about Hilary was put put there and promoted by KO to muddy the waters. Want more?

[The Doctor.]

85. Uhhh... can you back up that claim or are you just spouting what sounds good?

Seriously, if KO made an assertion that was a lie and didn't correct it, then I will post an OP criticizing him for it.

All I need is the proof and we're off and running.

[roguevalley]

95. left wing? What is the matter with people on this thread? If I want

to read this, I can go to the other site. Freeper talk is verboten here.

[Guaranteed]

5. Well, that's the problem with staying in past the point of viability.

People will take shots.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Clinton's candidacy ended after Wisconsin

[Catch22Dem]

7. Which is why I watch KO over any other. (n/t)

[Egnever]

8. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Blitzer makes me want to regurgitate so CNN is out for me. Oh and don't get me started on candy crawly.

They do have a cool board though to play with the numbers.

[stranger_with_candy]

9. He's wrong?

News to me.

[TheDonkey]

10. Enjoy the likes of Wolf Blitzer and Lou Dobbs

NO THANKS for me.

[JBoy]

19. Check out Glenn Beck, too. I hear he's popular.

[Bensthename]

11. Clinton News Network welcomes you.. All Clinton all the time.

Ya KO is pro Obama.. Obama has one show.. Clnton has all of Fox, CNN, and 80% of MSNBC..

[YWC08]

12. KO is my favorite of all of the big-name newscasters.

I'll take him any day over constantly-moving-his-feet-Wolf Blitzer over at CNN.

[sandnsea]

13. She can't win, it's just a fact

I don't know why it is so tough to accept. Folks have had weeks to understand the math.

[TexasObserver]

14. her candidacy exists only in the world of delusion

But her terrible financial management of her campaign tells us she can't do simple math, so it's not surprising that Hillary can't figure out she has lost. Too bad she never had to pass a basic skills test in grade school.

[Raine]

15. Some just "can't handle the truth" :-)

I LOVE KO!

[BlueIdaho]

16. With all due respect

its about time some news wag told the truth about this primary season. Too many talking heads pretend her candidacy is still viable as a way to garner more air time and more pay checks. The media has its own agenda - and greed is its name.

[NMDemDist2]

67. that's not the point. Clinton did not (and is not) running a "so called candidacy"

that's Nader's job

:evilgrin:

[John Q. Citizen]

17. I like KO. To bad I don't have cable so I hardly ever get to see him. Thanks for keeping me

updated.

Keith is one of the few pundits who tell the truth.

[DMorgan]

20. You are SO sensitive, no wonder why you never bothered to exercise

your brain.

It's HARD WORK to listen in context, to learn history, to study logic, math, and political science.

You would do well to study hard in the next four years before declaring yourself in support of fools like Hillary Clinton, who blow off the golden opportunity of a lifetime, international name recognition, lots of funds, lots of contacts, lots of support. To BLOW THAT OFF in less than SIX MONTHS.............and become the underdog.....

She really had to do pretty poorly to go from "inevitable" to "underdog".

Let's hope you learn a lesson here.

[NMDemDist2]

54. I won't post what I thought when I read your statements, due to DU rules

first of all, where did I say I support Clinton?

and it's not unusual for the "inevitable" early name recog candidate to fall (Howard Dean ring a bell?)

as for being sensitive, where do you get off? there is absolutely nothing wrong with my brain or my analytical skills. and I am no stranger to hard work, physical AND mental. I hold an office in my local party, spend an average of 20 hours a week working for Democratic candidates and have earned my right to my opinions by talking to and working with the Party activists where the rubber meets the road.

Your lack of respect and poor reading skills are obvious.

oh, and BTW, welcome to DU.

[Upton]

21. Keith speaks the truth as usual

go watch Fox, maybe Clinton's new boyfriend will put in an appearance.

[NJmaverick]

22. All the Clinton supporters loved him when he rightfully called out Bush

Now that their candidate has endorsed the Bush way of doing things, they don't like that KO is an equal opportunity caller

[dchill]

24. You are too truth-sensitive.

Clinton is running for 2012 at this point.

[roguevalley]

97. I laugh when I think of that dchill. Like she figures we won't remember

what she's done. :)

[dchill]

108. She obviously "figures" a lot of stuff.

She figures wrong, eh?

[CherokeeDem]

25. Enjoy CNN..

the NEW home for Right Wing Wacko's...

[Seabiscuit]

26. KO hasn't just become a stooge, he's become a childish one.

I've noticed that the "ignore" function has been disabled due to high traffic this evening.

When it's restored, I'll have to revisit this thread - looks like that little red "x" is going to get quite a workout.

[NMDemDist2]

38. you know, I've been here 4 years and this thread has about 25 posters

I recognize 4 of them. You being one of them

hmmmm

:dilemma:

[Seabiscuit]

63. Thanks. You've spent more time analyzing this thread than I have, for sure.

:)

[Diane R]

27. Sounds like Clinton News Network is just the right place for you. Me? Keith Olbermann, thank you.

[Awsi Dooger]

28. Whatever anyone thinks of him

He has no business anchoring election results. That was true in '06 and I said it at the time, even while championing Keith. It has applied throughout the primaries, specifically due to inevitable examples like this.

An unstable guy with runaway opinion has his place, but it's not the play by play desk.

[NMDemDist2]

47. thank you! I love KO on every other issue, but his anti Clinton bias is just

over the top

or is it the pro Obama bias?? I'm not sure which :shrug:

I haven't been watching him lately as I don't get much news there these days. but geez!

guess Amy Goodman is gonna be it if CNN is just as biased in the other direction :banghead:

[Lilith Velkor]

86. I loves me some Amy Goodman

It's not so bad, you know.

[roguevalley]

100. unstable guy. what a cheap shot. sorry your bitterness makes you

so sad.

[StevieM]

29. He is not a journalist (eom)

[bunnies]

30. lol. funniest post of the day.

OMG! One single phrase will cause me to change channels! :rofl: Whos got the banky?

[Life Long Dem]

31. What did KO mean?

Did he mean a plan from Clinton to win this?

[Seabiscuit]

66. Nah. It just means KO has lost it and become utterly childish.

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. At this point, that's an accurate description.

She won't win. It's over, in any real sense, and has been for a while.

[saracat]

33. KO is a misogynistic jerk. Thats why he is being sued by so many women.

He and his "so called news reporting. He is the O'Reilly of the left now. Too bad. he could have been a contender! LOL!

[DMorgan]

40. Sued by "so many" women? Do you perhaps......

have a link?

[saracat]

48. Yeah. Page 6 NYPost Look it up.

[MessiahRp]

50. LMAO That's your source?!?! Why not pick the Enquirer or Weekly World News?

Wow is this pathetic! LOL.

Rp

[Shakespeare]

70. Uh, that gossip is about 2 years old, and was completely refuted/discredited.

:eyes:

[roguevalley]

104. page 6. snort.

[NMDemDist2]

42. LOL sara

:hi:

how you be??

:pals:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

43. Link?

Is KKO being sued by any woman?

[saracat]

49. Yes. NYPOst Page 6 . He trolls for them on the net , makes assignations and then

and makes false representations to them.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

51. NY Post?

:rofl:

[saracat]

53. Nevertheless. They "exposed O'reilly and the loofah scandal as well.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

56. I can link to the O'Reilly loofah story.

Can you link to any story about KO being sued?

Kthnksbai!

[roguevalley]

105. no. he doesn't. search the archives. you will find the links.

[flowomo]

34. he's an "entertainer" not a "journalist"....

no problem with that, though I find him unwatchable.

[The_Casual_Observer]

35. On his so called cable news show. Dennis the Menace's dad.

[JimGinPA]

37. I Hear They're "Fair And Balanced" At Fox - Tune In There

[Leftist Agitator]

39. Oh, boo hoo.

So KO is dead to you Hillarites now, right?

[DMorgan]

45. Anyone who opposes Hillary, or questions her for logic and facts.....

is dead to Hillary supporters.

[Indenturedebtor]

71. And hates women

The truth is sexist :cry:

Ok so I've seen some people here at DU overuse the racist thing, but don't you think you're reaching to call him a sexist just because he's one of the only journalists to tell the truth? Obama is the nominee... sorry. And Clinton fought dirty... sorry :hug:

[NMDemDist2]

77. show me where I said I support Hillary

I don't give a crap who wins at this point, I'm sick of both of them. I'll vote for whatever name is at the top of the ticket.

but I don't appreciate her being so flagrantly and easily dismissed when she still has very wide support in the Party. It's bad enough we eat our own, we don't need a 'so called' news organization to help fill the pot.

I've stated several times on this thread that if CNN is as blatantly biased in the other direction, I'll just have to wait for the results from Amy Goodman then next morning.

[Beausoir]

41. Ted Baxter in a slightly better suit. A former sports-jock who thinks HE is the news.

[Medusa]

109. Have you ever seen the way his suits fit? Ted Baxter

looked much better in his. :rofl:

[The Night Owl]

44. I'm a staunch Clinton supporter and I don't mind that KO is biased in favor of Obama...

I do wish, however, that Olbermann would change his title at MSNBC from anchor to commentator...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080446

I mean, come on. KO is not an anchor. He is a commentator and an opinionated one at that.

[halliburtonsux]

52. I was your 5th recommendation for greatest. n/t

Kick!

[NMDemDist2]

61. wow, I didn't expect this to get any responses at all, much less the Greatest Page

and BTW, welcome to DU :hi:

[PoliticalAmazon]

55. I'm considering abandoning MSNBC. Their Scar/Buchanan coverage is ridiculous. n/t

[billyoc]

57. I'm shocked.

She's still running?!

:rofl:

[rodeodance]

60. KO runs with the skinking sewer rats--i.e. the Obama followers who agree with these smears of a Dem.

[KaptBunnyPants]

62. How dare he not obfuscate the fact that her campaign has already lost!!

CNN finds a way to make it appear competitive, why can't Keith?

[NMDemDist2]

64. that's not the point. Clinton did not (and is not) running a "so called candidacy"

that's Ralph Nader's job.

:evilgrin:

[jgraz]

75. If she has no way of winning, she has no real candidacy.

Unless you can come up with a reasonable, non-fantasy scenario in which Hillary wins the nomination, KO's comment was dead-on balls accurate.

[NMDemDist2]

no. he could have said her 'hopeless' run, or her 'long shot' run, but not

a 'so called' run. If she didn't run a damned hard race, I don't know who did.

[jgraz]

103. The implication is that her goal is no longer a win in *this* election

Which is an opinion shared by more and more people.

[City Lights]

68. Keith RAWKS!

A truth teller, he is.

[Pisces]

72. Why go to CNN, you should go directly to Fox News for all of the Hillary love.

[mountainvue]

76. What a dick that guy is. n/t

[Danger Mouse]

79. Zing! Wait to go, KO!

[gmudem]

80. Sounds exactly right to me.

She hasn't had an actual chance of winning in months. I'm glad somebody in the MSM is saying it.

[Ronnie]

81. I know. Could he BE any more full of himself?

[underpants]

87. Why is Norah O'Donnell on TV?

Anyone? please tell me

[roguevalley]

106. gal in the black dress doing the statistics on MSNBC. she has

huge hands, a horse laugh and a corn cob up her butt. Can't miss her. she never sits down.

[ccharles000]

89. You should not expect that much from him.

[mudesi]

91. Too much truth makes Clinton supporter's head hurt (nm)

[NMDemDist2]

93. what Clinton supporter?

surely you're not talking about me. I don't care for any of the presidential candidates.

I'll put an X next to the Dem but I won't like it. Whoever it is.......

[bridgit]

96. KO is an M$M tool

Countdown is an entertainment platform

[cottonseed]

98. After tonight KO is technically correct.

The mathematics of Hillary winning are now in the realm of possibility of using a pogo stick to reach mars.

[NMDemDist2]

110. so she has run a failed campaign not a "so called" one

:shrug:

[bigtree]

102. from a so-called journalist

[BlueStater]

111. Well, my respect for him just went in the toilet

It's not his biasness that's sickening but how disgustingly obvious it is.

And I don't like Hillary or Obama. I'm appalled that these two jerks were the best we could do.

[samsingh]

112. KO is a good guy

[Marie26]

113. What an ass. nt

[Political Heretic]

114. I don't believe you that he said exactly that, or I believe that its missing context.

If not, than its over the line.

[McCamy Taylor]

117. I've been watching CNN all night. Much better graphics and experts than MSNBC.

When the Lake County story started they pulled up a Google map and started showing the geography so we could see what type of housing they have, get an idea of the demographics. They have been interviewing mayors of small cities to get an idea of the vote totals that were sent to the county hours ago. We know that a bunch of this vote has no paper trail so we will never be able to audit it. CNN rocks! And my mom is right. Anderson Cooper is cuuuute! I have never watched him before, even though I did a graphic for my mom at my art site.

Do you think that KO would be adequately punished for his sexist behavior if I wrote slash fiction of the Anderson Cooper/KO variety and posted it on the Internet? Or has that already been done? I could do art, too.

[BigBearJohn]

119. I agree. I emailed him that he truly has become the new Bill O'Reilly.
