OLBERMANN: "If the man has a bumper sticker removed from his car that expresses his belief and his car gets keyed two weeks after he moves into his apartment, that's a-that's a harassment, THAT'S A RELIGIOUS HATE CRIME. Is that a factor in this? And does that need to be investigated?" Click the link & scroll to the comments section for full transcript

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has repeatedly made excuses for Hasan by saying he was the "victim of a hate crime".

Left-wing news commentator for MSNBC Keith Olbermann declared voter demonstrations against the Administration’s health care bill “terrifying” and urged that “they be stopped in some way.” The remarks came in response to a massive rally in Washington this past Thursday by opponents of the health care bill originally slated for a vote in the House of Representatives on Saturday. “Here are our duly elected members of Congress trying to do their job, trying to fix a broken health care system, when mobs of ignorant yahoos descend on them,” Olbermann complained. “How can we expect to govern the people of America...

Leave to a brilliant mind like Keith Olbermann, who finally decided to show his face on live TV after Nov. 3's Democratic defeat, to throw a temper tantrum about the public display of opposition to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's that occurred on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol on Nov.5. After Olbermann and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson all but declared Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., organizer of the "House Call" event, an enemy of the state, they predictably came to the conclusion the event was racist. However to overcome that hurdle, Olbermann suggested organizers "pay" minorities to...

While Fox News and CNN carried live coverage throughout Election Night, MSNBC took a break to show repeat programming, which included World Series highlights, in their 10 p.m. hour and some conservatives say it's because host Keith Olbermann was unable to stomach the GOP gubernatorial wins in Virginia and New Jersey. During a normal evening the 8 p.m. "Countdown" re-plays in the 10 p.m. hour, but MSNBC ran promotions during the day Tuesday that promised "special, live editions of 'Countdown With Keith Olbermann' at 10." And while Mr. Olbermann took a break, his fellow anchors Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews...

Let’s get the facts out of the way first – Keith Olbermann went to see Game 6 of the World Series, watching the Yankees close it out, instead of hosting his 8pmET MSNBC show Countdown last night – the day after the first elections of the Obama administration. We know this because he wrote all about it on his MLB blog. There’s photo evidence he was hanging out…with a Fox News host! Now that the facts are settled – does this make any sense?

It's probably safe to assume many Democrats weren't happy about last evening's election results, no matter how they spun them and how they pertained to President Barack Obama. And to his credit, that's something MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews admitted was not good for the Democratic Party. However, MSNBC, the so-called "Place for Politics" hyped up its Nov. 3 "Super Tuesday" election coverage throughout the day (emphasis added): "Tonight, Super Tuesday continues on MSNBC with live coverage of ‘Decision ‘09' inside the key elections that will set the stage for a 2010 political battle," the announcer on the TV spot...

The willingness of MSNBC on-air commentators to engage in political hackery for the Democratic Party knows no boundaries - as indicated by the latest charged hurled at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," who once called conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, "big mashed up bag of meat with lipstick," almost on a nightly basis attacks Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and has also regularly drubbed Palin, is now charging her with sexism. On his Nov. 2 broadcast, Olbermann accused Palin of forcing former GOP congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava out of the race for New York's 23rd Congressional...

Here is video of Keith Olbermann talking with The Huffington Post's Lawrence O'Donnell about Sarah Palin's impact on Dede Scozzafava having to drop out. Olbermann said that Sarah Palin's campaign last year "within hours of her selection by Senator McCain, began to be enveloped by their perpetual charges of sexism, every criticism of her was sexism." He then asked "why did she just push another Republican woman off the cliff, and where are the charges of sexism about that?" O'Donnell said "they beat her out of the place" and that Republicans "don't even quite qualify for party status anymore." (Video)

Here is video of Joe Scarborough today mocking Keith Olbermann in a hilarious mimicking of what he said last November and what he will probably say tomorrow night to try and spin Obama's losses in races in Virginia, New Jersey and New York 23rd District. . . (VIDEO)

I voted for Barack Obama. I never watch FOX News. I am not a raging conservative. And I think Keith Olbermann is hurting America. An uncompromising megaphone of partisan rancor, Olbermann perpetuates the single-mindedness and inflexible partisanship that now roil the country, both on and off Capitol Hill. His rants against former President Bush, former Republican politicians, and shock-media rival Rush Limbaugh contribute little to constructive debate about how we can fix today’s true problems. And his soapbox forays in such segments as the “Worst Person in the World” – a daily lambast of often unsavory, but many just politically...

With lots of cable news shows, the feast of the 2008 election has lead to famine in 2009. Countdown with Keith Olberman’s ratings are in the famine range as well, with October year over year ratings down 53% in the cable news target adults 25-54 demo, and down 53% in average viewership. Although I don’t have a trend chart, October is also Olbermann’s lowest rated month so far in 2009 in both 25-54 and average viewers.

I put together a short video for Janeane Garofalo and all of those in the media who seem to think that disagreeing with Obama makes you a racist. These are just a few of the black American patriots who chose to stand up and exercise their First Amendment rights at tea parties and other various rallies and protests throughout the nation. Are these people racists? Believe it or not, there is a growing movement in this country among blacks who are starting to see that liberal democrats don't represent the values most of them share and do not have their...

VIDEO: Communist Keith Olbermann, a member of Obama's "mainstream media" at MSNBC, repeated White House propaganda so accurately that you would think he lifted the words from Obama's beloved teleprompter. Olbermann, who's so far left that even the state-run MSNBC fired him from election coverage last year, lashed out in a grotesque display of journalism butchery against the Tea Party Express II, on October 22nd.

Urban Dictionary defines Teabagging as:“A guy dipping his testicles into a girls or gay mans mouth, slowly going up and down just like a tea bag”. Is anyone at the FCC wondering if this is appropriate language for a Network News Channel? (If that’s what you want to call MSNBC) If you feel like the FCC needs to be reminded of what’s acceptable and what’s not…Feel free to drop the FCC a line and complain about Olberman’s sexually explicit tirades. http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm Watch Keith Uberjerk below as he bashes fellow American citizens for taking an active roll in government. God, we...

A day after key White House officials declared the Fox News Channel wasn't a news organization, President Obama met with MSNBC personalities Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Talk about your delicious hypocrisy. Fittingly, the news was broken by FNC's Bret Baier during Tuesday's "Special Report" (video embedded below the fold with transcript, relevant section at 1:45, h/t Hot Air via NBer Thomas Stewart): BRET BAIER, HOST: And finally, during this morning's off-camera White House briefing with reporters, ABC's Jake Tapper asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about the ongoing White House attacks on FOX News Channel. After being asked about the...

THE GRATING COMMUNICATOR October 21, 2009 The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston's Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean's breast implants. That's understandable. But I think the administration should have picked someone other than David Axelrod to deliver the claim that Fox News is "not really news," inasmuch as Axelrod was behind the leak of scurrilous allegations in Jack Ryan's sealed divorce papers when he was running for a Senate seat against Obama. Talk about vicious...

In the past several days; numerous print and broadcast media outlets, race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, an NFL commissioner, a handful of NFL players, a U.S Congressional Representative, and one NFL owner; embarked on a willful campaign of slander and libel in an effort to defame the character of Rush Limbaugh by attributing to him racist quotations that he never made. . . . this new policy of "anti divisiveness" it is obvious that MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann must be removed from his panel position on NBC's "Football Night in America". . . we are urging all NFL...

Here is pathetic video of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann running an ad on his show touting MSNBC as the "undisputed leader in Cable TV News." Olbermann said he has been saying for six years that Fox News is not a real news organization. He said the "White House has done the heavy lifting" now on that issue by saying that Fox News is not real news. So, he ran this pathetic ad that flies in the face of every fact. But, of couse, that's Keith Olbermann. How sad can you get. . . . (VIDEO)

During his interview with ACU Chairman David Keene, John Ziegler name-checked Countdown host Keith Olbermann several times. On last night’s edition of Countdown, Olbermann returned the favor. He and Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis had themselves a good chuckle about the confrontation, with Kofinis calling the showdown a “good old conservative rat fight,” and Olbermann wondering if Ziegler was “defending his own crush.” In a Mediaite exclusive, Ziegler reacts by challenging Olbermann to a debate about the former Alaska Governor, and puts his money where his mouth is. Check out the video, followed by Ziegler’s full reaction. ... I will make...

The 41st President of the United States joins NewsReal in the goal of “keeping the cable guys honest.” He has recognized and called out both Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann for being “sick puppies” for their vicious style of personal attacks. We at NewsReal having been pointing out the false journalism of those two since our inception. Here’s a video with part of his quote and Maddow and Olbermann’s response

One would think that Republicans in the Congress had something to do with Democrats plans to force the fascist rule of Universal Health Care Deform on the American people. A system in which Federal Government for the first time in its 225 year history of the United States of America would force citizens to buy into a Federal mandated system. Keith Olbermann is a Rush Limbaugh wanna-be on the political left who is not worthy of the comparison so forgive me. Albeit, Olbermann does present quite an interesting case study in the manipulate of thought and language as Democrats and...

Here is video from the Rachel Maddow show where she played audio of former President George H. W. Bush on CBS Radio calling Maddow and Keith Olbermann "a couple of sick puppies" for their vicious attacks against his son - George W. Bush - and others who do not agree with their point of view. Maddow then talks with Olbermann by phone and they essentially say they can't imagine why he would say such a thing! George H. W. Bush is right on target, and good for him that he said so! . . . . (VIDEO)

Media Bias: Not long after pro football welcomed a convicted felon back on the playing field, Rush Limbaugh is dropped for his opinions from a group seeking to buy an NFL franchise. Won't someone throw a flag? When even Keith Olbermann says back off, you know the politically correct critics of the conservative icon and megaradio talk host's proposed part ownership of the St. Louis Rams are guilty of piling on. The prospect of the leading conservative voice in America participating in the purchase of a football team sent the liberal elites into cardiac arrest and into a frenzied campaign...

In answer to "how can I contact the NFL" the following number was put up on Yahoo Answers: Best Answer - Chosen by Asker NFL Public Relations at 1-212-450-2000 (you may have to leave a message in voicemail)

I'm beginning to smell a rat named Keith Olbermann. I think he might be the source from whence comes all the lies about Rush. Did anyone pick up on what Rush said yesterday about the source of all the smears came from someone named Hoverman or Hobermann (Rush never gives Olbermann a plug...that's why he didn't pronounce his name). The he said this Hoverman wrote a book titled the 100 Worst Persons in the World. Well, Keith Olbermann did "put together" a book called The Worst Persons in the World based on his lame schtick on Countdown. The plot thickens...

On Tuesday’s Countdown show, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann spewed bile at conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, accusing her of possessing "fascistic hatred," and comparing her to a "mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it." During his show’s regular "Worst Person" segment, Olbermann attacked Malkin for her role in bringing attention to the recent controversy over school children in New Jersey singing a song about President Obama.

Just when you thought Keith Olbermann couldn't get any more vile or vulgar . . . Opening this evening's Countdown, Olbermann said that Rush Limbaugh's observation that Glenn Beck was the result of his success "is like congratulating yourself for spreading syphyllis." Olbermann made his crude comment in teasing a segment on Rush's interview with NBC's Jamie Gangel. View video.

Olbermann: "By nighttime, [Michelle] Malkin and the lunatic fringe had decided Carney-Nunez was responsible for the [NJ school] song and whichever plot their fevered little paranoid minds saw behind it. She received death threats and hate-filled voice mails all thanks to the total mindless, morally bankrupt, knee-jerk, fascistic hatred, without which Michelle Malkin would just be a big mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it."

WASHINGTON -- Keith Olbermann wants you to listen to him. That was, essentially, the message of Wednesday night's "Countdown." The entire hour was dedicated to a "Special Comment" -- Olbermann-ese for an editorial -- about healthcare reform. But the point didn't seem to be to pass reform legislation; the point appeared to be to chastise everyone involved in it, on either side, and to declaim about the nature of the system. Where Olbermann could have explained what the legislation would do -- and taken on the myths against it -- instead he spent his time making solemn pronouncements. The very...

Here is video of GOP Rep. Michelle Bachmann telling a group at the Heritage Foundation that people are moving away from the liberal and "mainstream" media and turning to places of information that will give them the truth - like Fox News and conservative websites. Bachmann said Fox is "on the ascendency," now with an audience that surpasses the combined audiences of CNN, CNBC and MSNBC. She also said, "I'm certainly not going to fear the likes of Keith Olbermann." . . . (VIDEO)

In the ideal cable news ratings world there would be the run up to a Presidential election *every* year. Sadly for MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, it’s just one in four. Comparing Q3 2009 with Q3 2008, the show has lost 21% of its cable news target adults 25-54 demo , and 12% of its average viewership. 2012 will be a long time coming.

Keith Olbermann calls Rush Limbaugh an "asshole" after the talk show host called Jimmy Carter the nation's hemorrhoid.

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: Breaking news at this hour: Saying the inclination to racism in the country still exists, former President Jimmy Carter has tonight told NBC News that it has again bubbled up to the surface and that much of the most extreme animosity towards President Obama stems from the belief—again quoting Jimmy Carter, “that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country,” unquote. With a hilariously studied seriousness, , Keith Olbermann and Lawrence O’Donnell discussed Jimmy Carter’s charges that racism was behind the opposition to Obama as though it was a brand new thought, rather than something both...

Keith Olbermann is not one to pass up an opportunity to attack anything that even hints at being right of center. The repugnant MSNBC host devoted some three-quarters of his Sept. 16 show to claim criticism of President Barack Obama had to have elements of racism, no matter how you sliced it. And therefore, those critics were all despicable human beings, end of story. However, he did manage to find time to revert to old tried and true method of appeasing his angry left-wing desires - a little bashing of former Republican vice-presidential nominee and Gov. Sarah Palin, with an...

Keith Olbermann is a reprehensible swine, on a good day. The last thing I want to see when I turn on the television to watch the greatest rivalry on earth (Packers v. Bears) is the smirking face of the least talented, least fair, least honest person on television doing the pre-game show. It turned my stomach and I turned the channel. I did the same at halftime and I'm certainly not the only one. Olbermann is not funny anymore and he is such a partisan scumbag that it is an insult to football fans to have him anywhere near the...

Olbermann wants to take down Beck. I thought we could all use a little entertainment today. Please read to see what has been dug up so far.

In the midst of all this, one day while setting her DVR to record the television programs that she did not want to miss, she noticed something funny about the way The Glenn Beck Show appeared written out on the screens programming schedule. Now I am not a fan of Glenn Beck. I have nothing against him but for as dramatic as I can often be, I find him overly dramatic. Still I find that there is little that he states which can be disputed from a constitutional perspective, the only perspective that a federal government should have and my...

Olbermann: "Do I really want to be like Glenn Beck?"

Want to know just how unstable MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is? Within the course of 48 hours, he asked Daily Kos readers to send him everything they could dig up about Fox News host Glenn Beck, and then called off the dogs. That's right. The host of "Countdown," apparently worried about his image, posted a follow-up blog Tuesday telling his minions to stand down but remain ready to attack if he needs them in the future: Story Continues Below Ad ↓ An update on this: to clarify something I obviously didn't previously, I'm not talking about letting up on criticism of...

I am getting old. I'll be 56 in January and I realize that the days behind me are beginning to far outnumber the days before me. I have lived a lot of history in those years and have seen just about everything in politics imaginable; huge upsets, the triumph and fall of conservatism, a presidential resignation, culture wars - exciting times to have lived. But I will never understand this: Van Jones was one of the good guys. A really, really good guy. He used his education and his passion to combat police brutality and the massive, wasteful incarceration of...

MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann is looking for dirt on Fox News' Glenn Beck. "Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes," Olbermann posted on The Daily Kos. (Burguiere produces Beck's radio show; Ailes is the head of Fox News.) Read about the top 5 talk-show controversies of 2009 Olbermann's request for fact-finding was a somewhat cheeky reply to Beck's own similarly phrased, ALL-IN-CAPS request, on his Twitter feed, for his followers to dig up some dirt on Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd and Carol Browner, President Barack Obama's nominees to fill the positions of the head of...

With Glenn Beck getting credit for Van Jones resigning, Keith Olbermann is now asking Daily Kos readers to find out anything they can about the Fox host and others associated with him. Tuesday we will expand this to the television audience and have a dedicated email address to accept leads, tips, contacts, on Beck, his radio producer [Stu] Burguiere, and the chief of his tv enablers, [Roger] Ailes (even though Ailes' power was desperately undercut when he failed to pull off his phony "truce" push). Olbermann said this action will help "save this nation from the Oligarhy of The Stupid."...

Each time Olbermann exhales, a few more of his brain cells are killed off from hyperventilating that poisonous C02. It's called "eco-huffing" and its use is prevalent with the left. Too bad for Olbermann that he has become the Pied Piper (we have proof here in Alaska, ask Shannyn Moore a regular guest on his show) of Trig Troofers and 9/11 truthers. And this makes his advertisers look like fruitloop followers that endorse such nonsense. In his latest screed, the Pied Pier Olbermann wants to get everything he can get on Glenn Beck.. I don't know why I've got this...

Well its finally happened, Goofball Sportscaster turned full time goofball Keith Olbermannn finally had an explosion in his shrinking cranium. Personally I thought he had totally lost it when he started calling the comparing Bin Laden's driver's legal battle an example of urinating on the constitution: So, besides urinating on the Constitution and the rights and freedoms every American soldier has ever fought to win and protect, the Bush administration has now decided that when its victims have actually served their sentences, doled out under its own medieval, quote, "justice," unquote, system, it still might not choose to set them...

Who's says this loser is obsessed: Send Me Everything You Can Find About Glenn Beck by Keith Olbermann Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 10:14:03 AM PDT I don't know why I've got this phrasing in my head, but: Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes. No, even now, I refuse to go all caps. No, sending me links to the last two Countdowns with my own de-constructions of his biblical vision quality Communist/Fascist/Socialist/Zimbalist art at Rockefeller Center (where, curiously, he works, Comrade) doesn't count.

This is war. It is official. the Left is utterly desperate to destroy Glenn Beck. Keith Olbermann has written a personal "diary" on DailyKos titled: "Send Me Everything You Can Find About Glenn Beck" Olbermann also is asking for dirt on "Stu Burguiere and Roger Ailes".

On MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” (September 1st), Olbermann interviewed Dan Savage, a syndicated sex columnist, author, and gay-rights advocate about the ethics of the opposition to Obama’a policies. Savage stated and Olbermann agreed that some conservatives and leaders like Glenn Beck and Representative Michele Bachmann “are trying to get the President killed”. Olbermann: Conservatives Are Trying to Get Obama Killed

Yet another evening of madness over at MSNBC, as yet another host or guest incited violence by asserting that conservatives want to kill President Obama. Keith's guest on September 1, 2009 was Dan Savage, had the folliwng things to say about religious conservatives, Rep. Michelle Bachman and Glenn Beck. Savage: "the religious right if fomenting this kind of hatred in our country...at our peril...I really do think that the Michelle Bachmans of the word and the Glenn Becks of the world are actively and consciously trying to get...I'm just going to say it...trying to get the President KILLED." Keith: "Unfortunately,...
