Olbermann: We Have To 'Legally Stop' Glenn Beck
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/07/2009 9:06:37 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Noted free-speech champion Keith Olbermann has declared that we have to "legally stop" Glenn Beck. The Fox News host's crime? Not reacting strongly enough for Olbermann's taste when a guest made an over-the-top remark. [H/t reader JKF.]

On the June 30 editon of Beck's show, former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer said: "the only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to detonate a major weapon in the United States." Apparently Scheuer thinks that's what it would take to shock the country and its leaders back to their senses. Olbermann was infuriated that Beck didn't "scream at him" or otherwise jump down Scheuer's throat, choosing instead to nod gravely while suggesting that would be the last thing OBL would do.

Of course Olbermann, the truth must be destroyed or at best, kept from the people.

Instead of being a punit against the truth, how about do your job and report/tell the truth.

Poor Keith. Beck comes on the scene and shoves Keithy baby another notch down the list in the ratings. LOL! Give it up Keith. Go home to mama.

A 2012 Palin pres victory would finish Olberman off for good.

If someone says something on Olberwoman’s show, and no one heard it, does that mean it made a sound?

First order of business for President Palin, throwing Keith Olbermann off a cliff, order granted :-)

Free speech - as long as you agree with them.

Whatever happened to "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Apparently that only applies to liberal ideas. :-/ As long as only white-male conservatives are being offended, it is just expression, art, whatever. Let a liberal be offended, and heck, we've gotta find some way to shut them up.

If it weren't for double-standards, self-delusion, and willful ignorance, liberals' whole ideological framework would collapse.

Olberman is a pimp for everything un-American. A typical Elitist who is protected by those he detests. What a miserable piece of scum. He can’t stand or face anything good. He is a tool of evil.

The sooner good people realize they are up against evil, the sooner the battle will be joined.

We have to legally have a bigass truck run over Olbermoan. This guy is a survivor of a partial birth abortion. The doctor sucked his brain out and his fat body lives.

While I would much prefer other things to take place that could bring our country around, I am afraid Scheuer is right.

In fact, I tend to think it could take several attacks before these idiots or what’s left of their useless a$$es will understand that there is a committed group of Islamists, and others, that want all of us dead.

"the only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to detonate a major weapon in the United States."

Obermann had to have made up that quote since there in no way a real America would believe that our only chance is to have another major terrorist attack on our people.

Did he elaborate on the legal theory? I would be most curious to hear it.
