Olbermann Still Playing the Race Card [Olbermann badmouths FR in video]
Accuracy in Media ^ | February 16, 2010 | Roger Aronoff

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has offered another of his mindless rants that he calls "Special Commentaries." This time, he tried to rile up his audience by throwing around vague charges of racism against white people, including himself!

People-especially anti-Obama Tea Partiers-are surrounded and motivated by racism, Olbermann said, huffing and puffing in righteous indignation. This helps explain why Obama is losing popularity and his policies are failing, he implied.

Olbermann's diagnosis is correct, at least in part. Taking him at his word, he is a racist, and so is his network. Is this why there are no black faces hosting MSNBC political talk shows? Perhaps Olbermann will continue this series of commentaries by naming the CEO of NBC Universal (parent company of MSNBC), Jeff Zucker, as the worst person in the world!

"I think," the MSNBC host said, "having now been one [a white person] for 51 years, I am permitted to say I believe prejudice and discrimination still sit, defeated, dormant, or virulent, somewhere in the soul of each white man in this country."

Does it sit that way in Olbermann's mind? What exactly is he talking about anyway?

Olbermann is talking about his own inner racist and then assumes everyone is just like him. Sorry Keith...you're a racist...you're not alone but not everyone else is.

He is down to his last card. Race-baiting is the prog approach to politics.

I feel sorry for this schlep. He is constantly angry, and that’s not good.

Where are all the black folk at the Tea Parties? Well, Keith, that one is a simple answer: 93% of black voters cast their ballots for Mr. Obama.

Does that help?

Signed, and older and wiser white person(”Rex”)

I’d never know what was being said on MSNBC if it weren’t for FR.

Yay, Herman Cain! He needs to take over for Boortz. Permanently.

Right after he serves a term in the Senate. If he had the tea partiers 100% behind him, I think he could win this time.

I'll believe Olberpunk's dedication to racial fairness when he announces that he's leaving his $1M/yr gig and is demanding that it be given to a black person.

And not a minute before.

Olberman should immediately resign so that a black person can take his place.

This is unbelievable!! Did he actually say this?

Did he really say "partiers" instead of "baggers"?
