Amidst the innumerable excuses we're bound to hear for tonight's Massachusetts election results, credit Keith Olbermann with likely the most loathsome. The Countdown host would explain things away by accusing Brown supporters of . . . racism. [H/t reader Will H.]
Olbermann floated his despicable theory to Howard Fineman: "the Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens with Scott Brown tonight whether he wins or comes close is a repudiation of Obama policies. And surely one of Obama's policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is it's OK to have this sea-change in American history—to have an African-American president. Is this vote to any degree just another euphemism the way 'states rights' was in the '60s?"

Nah, Obozo is acting stupidly.
You know, maybe some good will come from Keith’s shenanigans. Too often conservatives fold under baseless accusations of racism. Now maybe when Crazy Keith or someone else goes off on a rant like this, more conservatives will stand up and point out how ridiculous it is.
For the first time in my life, I would like to see Olberman face to face, and I would like to do it tonight.
James 3,9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water
Ron Brownstain tried to pull the same shit on MJoe this morning...took Barnicle 10 seconds to remind Brownstain that Mass is 3:1 Democrat. MJoe too stupid to remind both that Obama and Deval won Mass by 20 points rather, uh, recently.
That, and how in the hell Deval Patrick didn't take a gift-wrapped Senate seat...
Okay, let's go with Olbermann's assertion. So Brown won because of racism.
“Keith should stick to sports...”
Keith can go to h3ll and enjoy same with Ted.
You thought you’d heard it all? Think again.
Now, this statement by Olbermann defies logic. All those voters in Massachusetts are racist? But for decades they elected Ted Kennedy, the black man’s “friend”.
I dunno, Keith. But since you brought it up, perhaps you'd like to explain why there was a much greater % of Democrats than Republicans in both the House and Senate that OPPOSED the Civil Rights Act of 1964?!
:o)
How many Mass voters is he saying are racist right along w/Brown?
Olbermann and Fineman are demagogic weasels.
Why am I NOT surprised at Keith ???
Congrats, Mass voters. You are now officially labeled racists, just like all of us southerners. Don’t try to say you’re not. The media has declared it so.
I detest Olberman. I really do.
I expect crap like this from KO. He’s the worst of the worst idiots. This is especially pathetic.
I always remember the election night that Carville upended a waste basket on his head. That was priceless.
The lefties on Keith Olberman`s slopp-fest are trying to push the nuclear option,full bore,no pulling back.The arrogance of these leftist @ssh*les,they just won`t,JUST CAN`T, get it.
Marsha must have been a light skin black and I didn’t notice.
Hey Keith,
I don’t hate Obama because of the color of his skin.
I hate him because of the content of his character.
