Olbermann: Republicans have hijacked 9/11
MSNBC ^ | 09/10/2008 | By Keith Olbermann

Posted on 09/11/2008 7:11:00 AM PDT by GLH3IL

But 9/11 has become a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form. 9/11 has become 9/11 with a trademark logo.

9/11 (TM) has sustained a president who long ago should have been dismissed, or impeached. It has kept him and his gang of financial and constitutional crooks in office without — literally — any visible means of support.

The political party in office at the time of the attacks, at the local, state and national levels, the party which uniformly ignored the warnings and the presidential administration already through twenty percent of its first term and no longer wet behind the ears, have not only thus far escaped any blame for the malfeasance and criminal neglect that allowed the attacks to occur, but that presidency and that party, have managed to make it seem as if the other political party would be solely and irredeemably responsible for any similar catastrophe in the future.

And his childish, squealing, braying, Tourette’s-like repetition of 9/11 (TM), was greeted not as conclusive evidence that he is consumed by massive guilt - hard-earned guilt, in fact but rather as some kind of political tour-de-force, an endorsement of your Vice Presidential nominee, a rookie governor , a facile and slick con artist.

All of this, sadistically disrespecting the dead of New York, and Washington, and Shanksville.

And yet of course the exact moment in which Sen. McCain’s Republicans showed the nation exactly how far they have fallen from the Better Angels of Mr. Lincoln’s Nature, came the next night.

What we got was not a tribute to the dead of 9/11, nor even a tribute to the responders, or the singularity of purpose we all felt. The Republicans gave us sociological pornography, a virtual snuff film.

I have reached a point in which I never listen to the NBC pre-game and halftime commentary on the Sunday night NFL games anymore since they brought Olberputz on board.

These people think Fox News is full of right-wingers.

But, we would NEVER see something on Fox News like this. This is dripping with hatred. I really believe this guy has something wrong with him.

NBC and Microsoft are his enablers. Remember that on 9/11.

“I think Olberman has misunderstood Chapter 2 of “The Network Anchor Desk for Dummies”.

Does it have a chapter about network anchors hiding under their desks before they go on air?

No Mr. Olberman, the Country owns “9/11”, but the Dims, led in the media by people like you and on their left by those who lifted Obama from obscurity, have taken the position, in error, that when it comes to the WOT America is the problem.

It’s not that the GOP owns 9/11; it’s simply that the GOP and the American people KNOW that 9/11 did not happen because America is too big, bad and evil!!!!

I too caught part of the rant by Olbermann.

I seriously think this guy has gone over the edge.

MSNBC must be in deep trouble as a network,when they let someone with obvious problems,have their own show.

He is proof positive Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

When liberal dems tell us that we deserved 9-11 and that they are not for defending this country then you have no say.

Olbermann better hope his car never breaks down west of New York or east of LA.

Oh, wait...that’s right, he doesn’t drive.

Yup. No one at NBC will ever reign this guy in. His “demotion” has just given him more freedom to speak like Ward Churchill.

“This is supposed to be a day of remembrance. Remembrance of the attack, remembrance of the national unity which followed it.

Most important of all, remembrance of the dead.

But 9/11 has become a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form. 9/11 has become 9/11 with a trademark logo.”

Today is a day to gird the will, a day to lock and load, a day to recommit the resolve to never let our defenses down again.

It is Olberman himself who sees in this grounding of the true character of the party his fantasies and gives them flight, he is the crippled dove on a peace mission, fluttering hopelessly among the clouds of his own rhetoric.

My E-mail to this scumbag: Olbermann@msnbc.com letters@msnbc.com

Mr. Olbermann,

I read the transcript of the juvenile, hate-filled vomit spewing forth from your lying, vicious mouth.

Put it into Arabic and grow a beard, and you could easily have been Osama Bin Laden.

There’s no difference between your delusional hate and that of the terrorists who daily slaughter innocents. Except your weapon of choice is a camera.

I could easily refute point after point of your nonsensical verbal equivalent of a steaming pile of feces. But why waste my time, when you and your cowardly MSNBC bosses wouldn’t ever read it? Below is my address and phone number if you DARE to ever attempt an actual debate.

[redacted]

Go to Hell, you hate-filled coward.

IR
