This is indeed priceless.
This is a partial transcript of Olbermann's Special Comment regarding the status of the Republican party just after Democrats passed Obamacare:
A willful denial, incidentally, that includes the leader of the minority party in Congress ignoring the fact that his is the minority party, and that he represents the minority, and that despite having broken all the rules of decorum in place in this nation since the end of the Civil War that despite having played every trick — mean and low, despite having the limitless financial backing of one of the biggest cartels in the world, he and his cronies and the manufactured outrage of the Tea Party failed to derail Health Care Reform.Failed Mr. Boehner. You lost. You blew it. "Shame on each and every one of you who substitutes your will and your desires above those of your fellow countrymen," you said last night just before the vote. The will and desire of your countrymen, Mr. Boehner?
If you're one of the leaders of a party that in four years, coughed up the Senate Majority, coughed up the House Majority, coughed up the White House, coughed up Health Care Reform, and along the way ignored every poll, and every election result, I would think the "will and desires of your fellow countrymen" should be pretty damn clear by now: Your countrymen think your policies are of the past, and your tactics are of the gutter.
And he goes on:
merican political parties have disappeared before. They are never forced out by their rivals. They die by their own hands, because they did not know that the hatred or the myopia or the monomania they thought was still okay wasn't okay, any more. And so I offer this olive branch to the defeated Republicans and Tea Partiers.It is a cold olive branch, and scarred, and there aren't many olives on it, but it still counts.You are rapidly moving from "The Party of No," past "The Party Of No Conscience," towards "The Party of No Relevancy." You are behind the wheel of a political Toyota. And before the mid-terms, you will have been reduced to only bein this generation's home for the nuts.
You will be the Flat-Earthers, the Isolationists, the Segregationists, the John Birchers. Stop.
Certainly you must recognize the future is with the humane, the inclusive, the diverse— it is with America. Not the America of 1910, but the America of 2010. Discard this dangerous, separatist, elitist, backward-looking rhetoric, and you will be welcomed back into the political discourse of this nation. Continue with it, and you will destroy yourselves and whatever righteous causes you actually believe in, and on the way you will damage this country in ways and manners untold.But even that damage will not be permanent. Faubus, and the MacNamara Brothers, and Bull Connor, and Lindbergh, and Joe McCarthy damaged this nation. We survived and they were swept away by history. You cannot destroy this country, no matter how hard you seem to be trying to nor can you destroy this country's inexorable march towards the light.
I wonder what would happen if millions of Conservatives filled his email inbox with this transcript.
OlberFail. Is there an echo in here?
MSNBC could double their ad rates for tonight given how many people will be tuning just to see them suffer.
ROFL!
“MSNBC could double their ad rates for tonight given how many people will be tuning just to see them suffer.”
Oh my, what a dilemma. To watch or not to watch .....
The inventor of email would be Worst Person in the World, when he brings that segment back after ending it yesterday.
Priceless! Thanks for posting!
I will be watching Keith tonight, I want to see if his head explodes
I intend to DVR it, so I can watch it in slow motion.
Make a DVD in slo-mo and I’ll buy it from you.
Bull Connor was a Democrat. Faubus was a Democrat. McCarthy was correct about communists infesting the Government and was a great man.
What the hell? Olbermann obviously doesn’t believe people will call him on this nonsense.
You stole my line. :-)) I just love it when he comes unglued. Really looking forward to him and Chris and maybe some of the alphabet State Run media channels. I think Fox can do without me for a few minutes tonight.
PS - Old Keith sure is a visionary.
Truer words were never spoken. Dolt.
and Lindbergh was an America-Firster, his only shortfalling being that he echoed the sentiments of George Washington; avoid foreign entanglements. How dare this scum-suckimg dirt bags malign one of the heroes of the American 20th century!
They misspelled “Psychotic”.
I'm just thankful I can nearly always avoid listening to him.
Just as Rep. Greyson is the vilest member of Congress, “Bathtub Boy” is the vilest person on cable. BTB has no decency ever.
