Keith Olbermann, host of Countdown on MSNBC, lied about Free Republic last night in a segment on white supremacist James Von Brunn, the accused murderer of a Stephen Johns, a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
Olbermann falsely said that Von Brunn was a poster at Free Republic and that Free Republic is a Republican website.
A request for a correction has been made to Countdown via phone and e-mail.

Transcript available here.
Olbermann: Von Brunn himself posted on the Republican Web site, Free Republic, spouting the right-wing claim that Obama‘s birth certificate was forged, defending President Bush against Dan Rather, and claiming the media had tried to destroy Sarah Palin.
Hold him accountable for false information. Sue, Sue, and then sue again. What a creep.
The man described himself as a pagan socialist didn’t he?
Thanks to GOP_Lady for the heads up about this.
Do you see it all falling apart?
What a fool.
*Ahem*
I think this deserves Jim’s attention.
So the one person who atcually watches that POS scumbag liar gave y’all a heads up? Not exactly a loyal fanbase.
To most libs, 'conservative' and 'Republican' are synonymous. Heck, they even think McCain is a conservative. ...so there's really no reasoning with them.
Olbermann makes me ill. Sue his simple ass for defaming the site and deliberately lying on air to both of his viewers.
Funny thing is if half the Freepers would watch his show his ratings would have quadrupled.
Sue this jerk for slander.
Even if you confuse the poster (wannabegeek) of Von Nutjob's article with Von Nunjob there isn't any posts about Rather or Palin in his post history. His post history isn't long so not hard to go through.
GOP_Lady deserves a medal for enduring MSNBC primetime to keep us apprised. I can only last a few minutes before change channels.
He would have lasted two seconds before the almighty ZOT descended.
Well, I guess the real question is ... if this Von Brunn fruitloop is really a FReeper, what’s his screen name?
By Olberman's logic, I am Dan Rather as I've posted an article written by him before. And by the same logic, Dan Rather is a Conservative Republican who thinks Dan Rather is an idiot because IF I am Dan Rather because I posted an article written by him, then anything I write must be attributed to Dan Rather..
I think I'll go post an article written by Olberman so he'll think I am him and get a nice headache trying to figure it out..
I would expect no less from KO. He has no shame. All that’s important is his message, not the truth of it.
If I watch Ms.NBC much, i’d make SONY stock go through the roof replacing smashed TV’s.
