'Terrified' Olbermann: ObamaCare Protest Looks Like 'Pro-Apartheid Rally'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/05/2009 7:51:29 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Keith Olbermann scares easily . .

The Countdown host says he found folks peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights to petition the government for redress of grievances "terrifying." For good measure, he slurred the people protesting ObamaCare at the Capitol today as looking like "a pro-apartheid rally in South Africa."

The timorous Olbermann confessed his fright to WaPo columnist Gene Robinson.

These jackasses are really becoming caricatures of themselves with their over-the-top attempt to marginalize or demonize us.

They do not understand that these are not "rent-a-mobs" like the other side uses.

Yes, having participated in many of the tea party events, I have seen some black, latino, and Asian people participating. Are they few in number? Yes,

It seems that the preponderance of these races of people have been duped by the Democratic party for many years that they can't break out of it.

Did he feel that way during the Viet Name war protests or the “Million man” march?

It is not the numbers, it is that they disagree with him that scares him.

I would just enjoy seeing this gentleman walking around in Johannesburg today. Unannounced of course. The denizens of that city are not that stupid to proclaim to the world at large, that they are rather prejudiced against svelte looking prosperous white men.

I may be wrong but I do not recall rallies by the whites in that city for Apartheid. They just trembled and hoped for the best, when they realized all was up.

Yep, old Keith would be lucky to walk straight after a little visit- from what I have heard.

I'm wondering at what point did this country decide that in order for any group to have credibility there must be "ethnic diversity" or else it is ridiculed as such "pro-apartheid" or "racist"...we have been brainwashed that anything having to do with white people---in particular white males is somehow evil and should be disregarded--and its evident in the commercials, TV programs which make it a point to reflect diversity on steroids.

Although I hate to use bolshevik tactics, but maybe we should use the same phraseology against groups on the left--say environmental activists--who are largely lily-white.

As I stated in another post.....Today Americans protested two white people, Pelosi and Reid.
What’s the friggin issue ?
Olbermaniac needs to go down with the MSM death march towards Media insignificance and embrace their “Vanishing Point” ratings.
You be on the Un-Employment line soon, Boy. Enjoy your relative obscurity.

Uberfuehrer is one scummy sicko.

The only one in the media who is more scummy and more sicko than Olbermanniac is the satanic enabler who is responsible for his hiring and continued employment.

The state-controlled media badly needs a group exorcism. Its evil knows no boundaries.

"They do not understand that these are not "rent-a-mobs" like the other side uses."

Actually, at some level, I think they do understand. And that's why they're getting scared.

Because if previously unengaged Americans wake up to find that the media and political establishment (both parties) have been systematically picking the pockets of 'Joe Public', laughing all the way.....well, let's just say rope commodities and lead mine stock will go through the roof.

So then, based on his flimsy attempt at a metaphor, the next time we see members of Accorn rallying for Obama, is it ok to say it looks like a Walmart during a Katrina riot?

Yeah, that's how stupid his words are.

All of these comments are extremely cruel. Have you people no compassion. Don’t you people realize that penis envy is a serious disability that causes confusion and generally disables the thinking process. Mr. Olbermann has obviously struggled with this heinous illness since early childhood. He deserves our sympathy not our condemnation. Perhaps a Binky would work.

Olbermann always brings on Gene Robinson when he is trying to convince his audience.

The Dems lost big time and they can’t stand that “the people” are getting in the way of their socialist agenda.

It is going to get funnier by the day as these leftist really start to lose it when their power starts to slip away.

More people talk about this twit than actually watch him, makes you wonder if no one ever commented on the silly crap that comes out of his mouth he would really go nuts.

If he is always bringing up race he is the racist right? A racist is someone who thinks other races are inferior, when it is so obvious that liberals/communists come in all shades.
