Stung by the reaction to his baseless charges of racism against the Tea Party movement, MSNBC-TV host Keith Olbermann did something he rarely does-he cited on the air some of the criticism of his remarks, including from my column carried by http://www.aim.org, GOPUSA and other Internet sites. He did this without labeling his critics as being among "the worst" people in the world. But he fell far short of coming clean about why he launched his smears.
What's more, he failed to retract the bogus charges and examine the many white faces that dominate-in fact, monopolize-the political talk shows on the network that employs him.
To recap, Olbermann, a white liberal, claimed that the Tea Party movement was racist against black people. This racism accounts for Obama's failures and declining popularity, he suggested. As proof, he cited racism that he said lurked in the souls of every white person, including his own. Racism is everywhere, Olbermann said, apparently seriously.
"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."
This tired race card approach to politics and current events would not normally require any response or comment. It could be dismissed for what it is, coming from a questionable source who deals in vile rhetoric.

The less publicity this creep gets the better. Nobody gives a flip what the damn fool thinks anyway.
this POS no more knows what is in the heart of someone close to him than he does about the broad brush of folks he is trying to malign. We have an individual in my city, who just loves to write letters to the editor with the same rhetoric. Every word a lie, but what the hell, he believes every word.
“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.”
He’s speaking for himself. he’s a man of many prejudices.
“How nice that Olbermann admits that he has racist tendencies...”
He probably has Nazis and SS men in his family tree.
Fine. Now every time Olberman opens his mouth, all replies should contain the remark that “he is a self-proclaimed racist”!
Olberman is the typical liberal asshat. He epotimizes “whoever smelt it dealt it.” He sees and “smells” racism in the Tea partiers because he is the racist.
Sorry, Obie,
just because you have discovered that YOU are a racist at heart doesn’t mean you can project that onto everyone else.
Most things that libs accuse others of are things they are guilty of themselves.
They don’t think anyone should be trusted with a gun because they know they personally lack the self control to own one.
Overbite bettuh pay up on hisn Federal Income Taxes.$$
I wonder whether he sees the racism in this statement.
Overbightman...Pay your taxes..for ALL years.
MSNBC, All White, All The Time!
OlberHitler and other regime propagandists get regular marching orders and talking points from the enemy occupied White House.
olbermein is another glaring example of why menpauseNBC’s ratings stay in the toilet! It is hard for me to listen to 6 or 7 words out this idiots mouth before turning the channel.
Can we, as white men, file a class-action suit against this hemorrhoid?
The Olber-moron is still irrelevent.
The man is a big-mouthed liar, and he did what he did to suck up to the Democrats.
