from the Article:

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

Just consider the source. Olbermann is unstable and I expect him to moon the viewers one day. I have already fully discounted that he might say or do just about anything, so regardless, anything less than pulling the pin from a grenade on live TV just gets a “ho hum” from me.

Just take contented consolation from the fact that we are right.

I expect to watch his show next on the first Tuesday of November.

Who cares what Earl Camembert has to say before he goes home to his inflatable room mates.

The first time I ever heard it was seeing some of the snippets of a giggly Anderson Cooper talking over the heads of the viewers by repeatedly mentioning the phrase while covering the Tea Party stories on April 15, 2009—then I heard Rush explaining *exactly* what that phrase meant, and I nearly threw up. *I* am, in this order, a Christian, a mother, a wife, and an AMERICAN who strongly believes in the Constitution and the ways the Founding Fathers intended this country to be—NOWHERE does the Constitution say ‘whites only’!...my toddler twins and my then 8 y/o daughter attended Tea Party events here in Texas WHERE THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDING and it was a wonderful patriotic experience for all of us. I don’t appreciate being called ‘racists’, and mama bear comes out when my kids are under attack!

Anderson Cooper's "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging." He should know.

If Freerepubic didn’t exist, I would know almost nothing about Olberman.

MSNBC and CNN advertisers have been pulling their ad schedules from CNN and MSNBC due to consumer letters that have told the advertisers about of the true meaning of teabagging.

Cooper, Shuster and Olbermann have had a ton of ad dollars pulled from MSNBC and CNN due to these letters.

Indeed. Apparently it has eluded this eggehead that the reason there are fewer black tea partiers is that Obama is the first black president. I have black friends who have said that they have a very hard time coming out against “the first black president”. They dont agree with him on alot of stuff, but they will not protest. If there is racism going on here, it is more than likely perpetrated by the those who will NOT criticise him because of his color than buy those who do.

“Teabaggers” originated on DAILY KOS, then was parrotted by Janeane Garofalo that night on Olbermann.

But, who needs FACTS in Libworld?

“a giggly Anderson Cooper talking over the heads of the viewers by repeatedly mentioning the phrase”

Cooper is GAY, so of course he would be giggling over “Tea-bagging”...

Yup.
In fact, that video was the most I've ever seen or heard about the bum.
And I stopped watching before it hit the halfway mark.

Folks here are correct. He's trying to gain more than four viewers by attempting to attract attention to his idiocy.
Ignore him.

Comcast customers are paying Olbermann's salary!

“In recent years it refers to the victory dance a winner in a video game puts his puppet through.”

I belong to a game clan and teabagging would get you banned.

Olbermann is unstable and I expect him to moon the viewers one day.

How would the viewers know it?

Having been to a lot of FReeps over the years, I think that we have a more diverse crowd than our commie opposition. We are there because we want to be, on our own nickle.

[gimme1ibertee]

Sticks and stones,my friend...sticks and stones.
I could give a crap less about this moron. He’s just trying to keep his job.

Real nice picture. Is that something I can print out and use for future Tea Parties?
