Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 37: Obamacare Opponents “Sub-human” and “Ghouls”
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | February 28, 2010 | David Forsmark

Posted on 02/28/2010 1:21:17 PM PST by HorowitzianConservative

A week ago Keith Olbermann slandered the Founders by falsely claiming…

OLBERMANN: Not very many of the founding fathers were evolved enough to believe that black people were actually people.

But this week, Olbermann denied the humanity of people who dare to disagree with him on nationalizing the health care system.

OLBERMANN: … the protests of these sub- humans who get paid by the insurance companies…

Whenever a conservative claims that the Left’s policies endanger America, liberal are quick to squeal “How DARE you question my patriotism!” Last week, Keith tried to say the Tea Parties were racist. He has proclaimed them “Astroturf” and paid lackeys of the insurance companies before. Now, apparently, they are a whole other species. Maybe they should protest for expanded veterinary care?

This has to be the first time in my 30 years of engaging in political debate that someone with any kind of national platform has denied the humanity of an ideological opponent. All of this because Keith seems to think that doctors actually have a billing code for end of life counseling.

Olberwoman is a good part of the reason why so very few people watch MSNBC.

Keithy has “issues”. A lot of “issues”. He really needs to see a shrink.

Every lefty I know is quick to demonize the ‘deep pocket’ insurance companies but are eerily quiet when it comes to tort reform and the well represented ABA members that make up congress.

Interesting—since one of Olbermann’s gods, Darwin, certainly believed that.

“This has to be the first time in my 30 years of engaging in political debate that someone with any kind of national platform has denied the humanity of an ideological opponent.”

National platform? Obly has a national platform about like Wiley E. Coyote has after he runs off the cliff. Sometimes it seems most of Olby’s audience is conservatives using him for mocking purposes. The rest of his small audience is probably beyond repair anyway.

We need a national ignore list. Candidates that quickly come to mind:

Ron Paul (yes, we need to cut spending, got it. As for the rest from Paul, forget it).

Obly.

Dan Rather

Jimmy Carter.

Al Gore.

And so on...

If there is such a disease as Political Turrette’s (sp?)Syndrome, Olberman is the poster child.

I’m getting sick of being called subhuman by leftist scum. I usually let it roll off my back but it is really beginning to piss me off!

Still owned (in part) by General Electric. Thus a GE employee going beyond insulting well over half the population of this country (and we’re not even talking about a lame attempt at “comedy”), and insulting the entire state of Texas.

The next ISA Automation show will be in Houston, TX. Be nice to see the GE/Fanuc booth get trashed.

If Comcast wants that franchise to survive, it’s going to have to blow up the whole thing and start over.Perhaps try to be a truly neutral all news operation in the tradition of dinosaur NBC news and what CNN originally purported itself to be.

The left, and their silly apologists get more Naziesque by the day. Americans are beginning to see it, and are responding by turning the channel to FOX.

If it wasn't for FR, I wouldn't know what this guy says or that he even exists. He sounds like a real turd.

Wait...Glenn Beck did play a clip from this guy's show the other day. It may have been this piece. The guy went on for many, many unpleasant minutes about the minutae of his father's discussions with doctors about treatment...to the point of being embarrassing to his father. Keith then proceeded to lambaste Republicans, saying that without Obamacare patients will not be able to consult with their doctors about treatment.

So he was screeching about Republicans stopping a patient from getting the ability to do something that Keith proves they already have. And he has no idea that Obamacare would actually end that by making government the decision maker.

Which I think explains why I've never watched him.

He did mention a visit to the ER resulted in the Docs recommending a 72 hour hold.

Apparently he IS certifiable.

????? What do you think they did to GWB and Cheney? For years they have been accused of being murderers, war criminals, of sending soldiers to their deaths for personal financial gain, of lying to go to war, of being sinister and corrupt, stealing elections, leaking intell to kill CIA operatives......

And we let them get away with it, and now they turn their propaganda against the American people (tea parties).

No, he needs to be made poor. Keith fancies himself among the intelligentsia, with his SUNY @ Cornell Degree. Those of us who went to the College of Arts & Sciences view him as little more than trailer trash.

General Electric should be broken up. A multi-national conglomerate that can lose hundred of millions $ on the MSNBC left-wing propaganda channel and never miss it. As a major government contractor it can influence government policy thru the news (i.e. global warming hoax) and then reap billions in contracts.

Hey, how much is your guys check from the insurance companies?

I gotta figure out why I'm not getting one since they are paying me to be racist and hate all things obama just because he is black... well, sorta black... I think.

And for the love of God, who gets on TV and rants like a lunatic giving in great detail the pains his own father is suffering in the name of politics?

This guy gets exactly what he deserves. I'd say we need to pull him off the air... but he basically already is. What better way to squelch someone than give them their own show on that MSNBC.

lets see ...

the left wants to enslave people, BUT provide them with free food, housing, and medical care just like any good slave owner should...

and the right wants people to be FREE to succeed or fail on their own merits, free from government nanny-state tyranny...

And WE are the ghouls?

OLBERMANN: … the protests of these sub- humans who get paid by the insurance companies…

Vasily Grossman on the left wing “activists” who helped the Soviet secret police murder millions:

“They looked on the so-called ‘kulaks’ as cattle, swine, loathsome, repulsive: they had no souls; they stank; they all had venereal diseases; they were enemies of the people and exploited the labour of others... And there was no pity for them. They were not human beings . . .”

No doubt that Olbermann believes it with all of his heart and, if he has one, soul. He’d probably volunteer to fire up the ovens given the chance.

Still owned (in part) by General Electric.

I keep hearing references to GE having a zero book value after liabilities. For example this article...

Here are the core facts: GE owes its creditors $518 billion. That is not a misprint. It owns tangible net assets of only $17 billion. Thus, on a tangible basis, it is currently leveraged by more than 30-to-1. That's unheard of for a major industrial company. A 3.3% decline in the value of its asset base would wipe out all of its tangible equity. But here's the real problem. Last quarter, the company produced $2 million in operating income. Again, that's not a misprint. On $17 billion in assets, the company earned only $2 million. So... what will happen to GE if (or when) the free market sets its borrowing costs?
