Keith Obermann calls Americas most decorated living veteran clown
Blogs for John ^

Posted on 07/19/2008 4:17:33 AM PDT by blueyon

In a "Worst person in the world" segment Keith Obermann called Veternan Bud Day a CLOWN because Mr. Day said "he was not prepared to bow the knee to the "Muslims," referring to Muslim terrorists who seek to destroy America.

I can not believe he would say such a thing. I suggest you watch the YouTube MSNBC video and then respectfully email MSNBC with your comments. Please note this is my first attempt to post a news story and if I did it incorrectly, sorry about that.

I think you did it just fine.

An astonishing piece of arrogance on behalf of Obermann. I’d love to see if he had the bollix to call Bud Day a “clown” to his face.

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Obermann is the epitome of the Kapo.
I'm sure he comes from a long line of them in his family.

After ignoring him for a couple of years I finally watched him for the first time about 2 years ago. Then I understood why is such a laughingstock. I sometimes watch a few seconds to remind me of what kind of idiotic enemies are out there. That’s about the limits of my KO exposure.

This one is such a low even for him that it gets my blood boiling. He is such a predictable cartoon of a human being that I really don’t even need to see the video.

Of course you do.

Only a person who has integrity, honesty, ethics, a even a small amount of decency would never think to say such a thing.

Since KO possesses none those attributes, so of course, he would such a thing and worse

Kieth Obermann is the ugly version of the Obama girl. He is a cheap whore for Obama and the Democrats. He is ugly, ignorant, irrational, obnoxious and has poor communication skills. His audience ratings are the lowest in the history of TV. The only reason he is allowed to stay on the air is because he obediently follows the leftist, Democrat party line.

"Little" men, like Olbermann, must work at feeling good about themselves. He knows that in a side by side match-up with Mr. Day, his "shortcomings", in all their manifestations, would be stark and very apparent.

Just ask Olbermann's ex-girlfriend.

Let me tell you. I worked directly for Col Bud Day after his release. He is one of my hero’s and I always will respect this fine officer. During the Iran hostage situation back in the 70’s he rallied the people down in Florida to get them back. One true Patriot in my book. Oberberman is one jerk.

Olberman was a clymer as a sports guy. The idea that what he did at ESPN got him his own show talking about anything whether it's sports or politics or pocket lint is truly stunning. I've heard people say he was good doing sports and that when he was on the radio with Dan Patrick, it was the best part of Patrick's ESPN radio show, and I'm saying absolutely no way. I don't understand what people see in him doing sports. He is the same rotten, nasty person no matter what he's doing. I rarely see the NBC Sunday night game because Olberman's presence on the pregame destroys the lead-in and I get caught up doing something else.

So that he's horrible doing a political show is hardly a surprise. The surprise would be if he were watchable for more than 2 minutes. He couldn't read the Bible on air and make you want to stay tuned in. Olberman is a supreme clymer, period.

If this is true it is only because Patrick is a bigger puke than Overbite.

Well it wasn’t a very bright thing for Colonel Day to say, and since he’s tied to McCain’s campaign then it was sure to make the news. But worst person in the world? I would have thought Pelosi should have grabbed that for her remarks about Bush. But then again, this is Obermann.

Keith has a pretty bad case of "toys in his attic".

It must be miserable being him.

Word is out that he doesn't have any "lead in his pencil" either, he's a big disappointment with the ladies.

Call Colonel Day a clown and the outrage among Freepers is palpable. But someone who calls him a liar, a coward and a stooge cashing in on his Medal of Honor is quoted here daily and his word is taken as gospel by the McCain deranged. Politicizing the Congressional Medal of Honor

Ted Sampley, who is the source of much of the misinformation about McCain's captivity and his service on the Select Committee, also turned his smear tactics on Colonel Day.

Saying later that he misspoke, that's regrettable. The McCain campaign seems to stand for nothing except non-offensiveness to loud-mouthed ethnic interest groups.

If someone is a "Clown" for saying something dumb that would make MSNBC a full time Comedy Channel.

It was a dumb thing to say, I'm sure he meant "radical Muslims", although McCain would probably throw him under the ST Express for that too.

Why?

Why? Because theoretically we're fighting and dying to help millions of Muslims create their own democratic societies in Iraq and Afganistan. If every single Muslim wants us to kneel to them, as Colonel Day apparently believes, then what the hell are we doing there?

They should change the name of the show to Piss & Moan because that’s all it is on a nightly basis. It’s all liberals know how to do but criticize them in any way and it’s “How dare you?”.

Obermann isn’t qualified to carry Col. Day’s jockstrap.

> Ted Sampley, who is the source of much of the misinformation about McCain's captivity and his service on the Select Committee, also turned his smear tactics on Colonel Day. From Ted's article:

>> they called me a lair (sic)

>> Day has habitably (sic) and fragrantly (sic) politicized his Medal of Honor.

Ted may not be a liar. At the very best he has a sloppy copy editor. The odd typo is perhaps understandable, but three errors that flagrantly misuse the English Language, from someone who habitually writes copy for a living, is unforgivable.

He didn’t say “every single Muslim” wants us to kneel. However, the religiously correct ones do. Read the Quran if you doubt it. The proper and moderate Muslims, by far the majority, believe the Quran to be the very word of God, and it exhorts them to make us kneel or die.
And the extremists, by the way, want us to burn to death or jump from windows.

keith would have to climb one of those ladders the fire companies use to reach heights of burning buildings to even come close to reaching the SOLES of Bud Day’s shoes.

keith could only even imagine and dream what it must be like to be a man of such high caliber, respect and honor as Bud Day.

keith is a sad little man with no life and no real importance except to read stuff on TV and therefore can’t even comprehend anything of such importance that would come out of Bud Day.

keith is a pitiful little mouthpiece for others is all whereas education, intelligence, common sense, honor, dignity and character is the make up of Bud Day.

keith can not and never will be able know the kind of strength that brought this great man Bud Day through his ordeal and home to his family.

keith reads the news. Men like Bud Day WERE the news.

I didn't watch the video but I'll side with Bud. If it wasn't for oil, muslim’s would be just another religious group like it has been until the last 20 years.

As far as Olberman. His day will come. Give him enough rope and he will hang himself. I feel he's almost there.

He has been doing for a while and gets a weird gleam in his eyes on times when I have switched to his show. He calls lots of people clowns - to a point where it is meaningless. Keith is a bitter man. He scored big with the McClellan and Hillary and then it was downhill. His obsession with O'Reilly is embarrassing to watch. He is like "a woman scorned."

The talking points at MSNBC are to trash competitors. Only they end up looking like sore losers, their digs petty and ridiculous. "Conservatives" who are the bad guys. They even label O'Reilly and McCain Conservatives - shows how out of touch them are.

I’ll have to admit that I haven’t watched MSNBC since the 2000 election. I’m proud of that choice as it keeps me far and clear from the insanity that goes on in that station.

I understand the need to report however, it would be better if the station and it’s cast were to be completely ignored as the cast isn’t much different from it’s viewers.
