Keith Olbermann Responds To Accusations He Smeared Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (VIDEO)
Video: Olbermann responds to critics who claim he smeared Scott Brown in calling him a racist, homophobic teabagger -- January 20, 2010
-----
Olbermann is arrogant, pompous and usually wrong. And he stretched the truth a bit in making these accusations about Scott Brown. However, do not buy into the hype. Brown is not the perfect candidate, and calls for him to run for President are outrageous and reflect the continued, idiotic, American Idolization of our political process.
He is likely to behave in the Senate as a Wall Street captured Republican. In fact, don't overlook the obvious: He has already come out in opposition to the Obankster's tiny, tax-deductible levy on Wall Street. Do not be fooled.
Rejoice in the moment and celebrate the end of Obamacare, but do not annoint Scott Brown as your saviour. You know better.

The post has been updated to include my commentary...for what it's worth...
Saying his daughters are available. My guess is that he meant single. Olbermann is using his dirty mind to twist available into something else (maybe he thinks in means whore them out, who knows).
Point goes to Brown. Brown is new to the games of the left, he will learn.
Two woman having a baby together is quote not normal.
Normal – usual, standard, regular, ordinary, typical, customary, common, average…
I think that two woman having a baby together (biologically impossible) is not normal.
Point goes to Brown.
Constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. It is Brown’s right to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Point goes to Brown.
Brown questioned the marriage status of Obama’s mother when he was born. Olbermann calls this a racist comment. This shows Olbermann’s bias and ill and unfounded beliefs of those on the right. Her marital status when he was born is in dispute in many court cases to this day. No proof has been provided by Obama for clarification.
Point goes to Brown.
Mr. Brown is reactionary.
Reactionary – intransigent, backward-looking, diehard, dyed-in-the-wool…
Olbermann uses his own definition of reactionary.
Point goes to Brown.
Mr. Brown was an ex-nude model.
Nude – naked, bare, exposed, uncovered…
Brown was most likely naked but he was no more exposed than the rest of the men and women in Cosmopolitan. Magazine standards were followed.
Point goes to Brown. Brown was not very modest but no harm no foul.
The sexist comment I don’t understand so I have no opinion.
Mr. Brown was teabagging.
Olbermann is showing his own homophobia here by using the slang term teabagging which describes a sex act that is usually associated with gay men. The innuendo that Olbermann is using is both juvenile and rude.
Point goes to Brown.
Mr. Brown is a supporter of violence against women. Olbermann’s proof of this statement is pure slander based on a very questionable event.
Hey DB, if anyone is a bitch, it is Olbermann. Mark, if anyone is a (what did you call me) oh yeah, a stupid jack-hole, it is Olbermann for a start.
Not to say that Brown is going to be a great leader of the future, I have no idea. I just know that Olberman is exaggerating. And wildly, at that.
At first I disagreed with you, blinded in part by Olbermann's status as a hero in my eyes for lashing out against Bush at a time when FEW did so and also in part by the fact that I really don't follow his show that much nor know too much about Olbermann.
Now I think he comes across as kinda arrogant, pompous and seemingly like he hasn't gotten laid in quite a while.

that was funny....

gobias...you make good points..i agree with some of them...i am not supporting olbermann in this by any means...but i am making the point that Scott Brown should not be considered the annointed one...some have already mentioned him as a prez candidate...that is straight crazy talk...
i posted the clip mostly because the first one got such a strong response...olbermann brings out passions...
and RLR i go back further than you with olbermann...i also appreciated how he went after bush...my problem is that he won't go after Obama for many of the same things...he's too partisan for me...can't see fault with the democrats...reminds me of krugman...
I need to ask my parents if I have a long-lost twin, because it's UNCANNY how much we seem to agree with each other!
Krugman was saying all the right things while the Bushwhacker was around and then suddenly changed his tune with the arrival of the Obankster, despite the fact that the Obankster *IS* the Bushwhacker ...on steroids.
Perhaps this song can explain it all?

If you lose your heart
Careful now don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
DON'T BE BLINDED BY LOOOOOOOooove....
we have put up a few pieces about how this is really teh 3rd term of the bush administration...
Gobias responds...Scott Brown can't be the annointed one, he can only be the annointed one (troisième partie).
Original Annointed One - Barry Soetoro (by the left and Oprah)
Second Annointed One - Sarah Palin (by the left and religious right)
Third Annointed One - Scott Brown (again by the left and by eager pundits)
Gobias responds...So, Obama has failed with regards to his change we can believe in message. Why not go from that angle rather than try to morph Bush into Obama (creative but a bit twisted and a big stretch, as I have said many times before). Why not go after the pulitzer and write about how an unknown Barry Soetoro went to the 2004 Democratic National Convention with a dollar and a dream and got hired by the liberal elitists (Bilderberg / Group of Thirty (Central Bank)) to do their bidding. He was clean and articulate without that negro dialect. He was a white man who achieved the one-drop rule in spades due to a very dark Kenyan father. They knew how he was educated and who educated him. They knew he would be easy to lead. They knew he had no financial background but believed in big government Marxism. They knew he was an anti-constitution stance. They knew he was trained in Saul Alinsky tactics but wasn’t a corrupted lawyer like Hillary and Bill. They knew that the world would try to worship Barry as the anointed one. Yes, one world government is on hold thanks to the conservative uprising. They knew he would be on board for a global climate tax, cap and trade, and all forms of wealth redistribution. They knew he would put the United States second to global governance. They knew he would try to turn terrorism over to the United Nations. Heck, you know all of this already.
Naomi Klein of the Guardian…”Of all the explanations for Barack Obama's Nobel peace prize, the one that rang truest came from Nicolas Sarkozy. "It sets the seal on America's return to the heart of all the world's peoples." In other words, this was Europe's way of saying to America, "We love you again", like those weird renewal-of-vows ceremonies couples have after a rough patch.”
I cannot believe I am saying this, good points Gobias, with the exception of "one world government is on hold thanks to the conservative uprising". Both parties are firmly commited to Agenda 21, which all these points represent. The "bickering" in Goobermint is to make you feel good.
Treaty law supercedes all other legal obligations of the United States Corporation.
That said, who else is a student of Saul around here? Come on Gobby, spill it.
i'm generally careful to say that they aren't exactly the same...healthcare is a difference...
the only problem with writing the story you propose is that I don't have those types of sources...i would never be able to get the information i would need to make any type of accusations...if you have links, send them my way...i always try to keep an open mind...
even with Sarah...if you really pay attention, you will see all my criticism relates to her a a presidential candidate...as a pundit or a governor i have absolutely NO PROBLEM with her at all...there are certainly worse on both sides than her...it's always the sarah for Prez talk that freaks me the F out...

Watch this...Eric Alterman and Melissa Lacewell. I would rather listen to Barney Fwank, yes, that bad.

It's painful, like watching Bambi's mother get shot. If anyone is capable of watching more than 5 minutes of this, please let me know. I will help you find the mental institution.
On this day, we have chosen hope over fear. Really, great stuff.

Beam me up, Gobias! I just went 14 and a half minutes. It was, indeed, horrible. Especially the Princeton Prof. My seven-year old -- I kid you not -- has more political horse sense than she does. It's just sad.

i quit during the introduction...
From what I understand, over at XE Services (ex-Blackwater USA) they actually REQUIRE prospective employees to watch & CHEER while Bambi's mother is shot ....& subsequently RAPED. Apparently (according to THEM at least) that's exactly 'What Jesus Would Do'.
Who woulda known?

if true, that is bizarre...
