But that wasn't the only absurdity on display Wednesday evening as it really was the height of gall for Olbermann to point fingers at Breitbart for publishing an edited video at his website when two weeks ago the "Countdown" host cherry picked from a Rush Limbaugh radio transcript to make the conservative talk show host look racist.Talk about words being "edited, filleted, stripped of all context, rearranged, fabricated and falsified!" Now that REALLY is the pot calling the kettle black.
On that same night, Olbermann also falsified history to mock Nevada senatorial candidate Sharron Angle AND got so many things wrong concerning oil subsidies and BP that PolitiFact almost gave him a "Pants on Fire" rating days later.
As such, Olbermann chastising anyone about journalistic ethics and integrity is like a porn star lecturing teenagers about the virtues of abstinence.
I watched this last nite (yea I watched it) and it was so exceptionally absurd (yea all of this girl Olberman's rants are I know) that I thought it would be good to share here at FR the rabid hate that spews from this mans demented brain.
Every time Keef speaks, he Ass-inates himself.
Thanks for watching this show so I don’t have to.
Useful Idiots are ALWAYS eliminated first by the left.
That means you,Keith Obermann.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
My eyes are still red and sides are still hurting from laughing so hard at Glenn Beck and his team ripping Oby this morning.
Meltdown is good for comic relief and nothing more.
“Olbermann to point fingers at Breitbart for publishing an edited video at his website”
LIES. This video was not edited. It contained the entire length of video that is now being shown and labeled as “The rest of the story”.
I channel surfed last nite and saw part of Keithie’s rant. He comes across as bitter, angry, low self-esteemed, ill informed, biased . . . and very childish.
I guess that what happens when he’s make a mockery of by a woman who told the NY paper he was a bum lay.
I am so glad I don’t get msnbc.. I couldn’t afford to replace TVs every time I saw him ..
I notice that Breitbart has managed to disrupt the “racist Tea Party” meme, at least for a bit. The Echo Chamber has been forced to regroup around the “evil Fox” meme, which doesn’t bring the same frisson. Just makes them sound petty.
I have more viewers than Keith Olbermann and I’m not on TV.
At the end of the day, none of these people want to talk about BO’s knee-jerk reaction to all of this, because that is probably the biggest story here. Their guy was BAMBOOZLED. Of course, he was acting totally in character...acting without thinking.
the Olberdork is unfit the utter the word “civilization” or anything about ethics, decency, humanity, justice....
as for Sherrod, to compare her case to Dreyfus is not only absurd but offensive in the extreme:
Sherrod’s racism is there on tape in her own words
Dreyfus was falsely accused and convicted of treason, spent 4 YEARS (with a life sentence) on Devil’s Island, and still had to wait yet another 7 years (11 years total) for the beginnings of any kind of exoneration
Sherrod IS a racist, Dreyfus was NOT a traitor
Dreyfus DID suffer enormously for many years; any “suffering” Sherrod may have done in 48 hours is due to the exposure of her own vicious words, not to some concocted story of treason (Dreyfus)
Now Sherrod and her circle of fraudsters will be milking this for years to come — she should THANK Breitbart for making her famous, b/c now she’s going to be getting lucrative book and speaking offers to pile upon the fraudulent “settlement” she already won previously with the USDA....
every liberal campus in America will be offering her $10K, 20K, 30K, 50K and even more to come “witness” to her experiences — just watch, in no time she will be receiving fancy awards and proclamations from the politically correct left, and through it all SHE is the racist who spoke of how she didn’t care to help a citizen b/c he was “white” and not of HER kind...... “white” people should only go and seek help from their “kind” -— that is racism pure and obvious, vicious and contemptible
He looks like he’s about to wet his pants.
yawn.
yawn.
Just like the Arizona Immigration law that the Mad Lefties didn't read, I doubt they've even bothered to watch the video of Sherrod making her speech.
I mean, did she or did she not say what is on the video? Clearly, she did. And she stands by those statements? Amazing that she and all her troops are now daring to claim the moral high ground on this because the last 2 minutes of the video were not posted by Breitbart.
The only difference btw Breitbart's video and the full video is she speaks about how her father was allegedly murdered by white men.
I bet he had “read” privileges on Journolist. Is there any way to verify that?
