Olbermann Unglued in October: GOP is 'Leading Terrorist Group' in America
Newsbusters ^ | 10/23/06 | Brad Whilmoth

Posted on 10/24/2006 10:13:54 AM PDT by pissant

On Monday's Countdown, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann delivered his latest anti-Bush, anti-GOP "Special Comment," (also posted on Countdown's Web site) this time accusing President Bush and Republicans of committing the "dictionary definition" of terrorism in trying to scare Americans into voting for them, even contending that "the leading terrorist group in this country right now is the Republican Party." Olbermann laid blame for the delayed discovery of the remains of 9/11 victims at the feet of President Bush and Republicans. Olbermann: "And yet you can actually claim that you and you alone can protect us from terrorism? You can't even recover our dead from the battlefield, the battlefield in an American city, when we've given you five years and unlimited funds to do so!" (Transcript follows)

Video clip, starting about four minutes into the nearly 11-minute long screed (6:30): Real (4.9 MB at 100 kbps) or Windows Media (4.1 MB at 81 kbps), plus MP3 audio (2.3 MB)

After beginning his "Special Comment" describing an RNC ad displaying the image of Osama bin Laden, Olbermann brought up the dictionary definition of terrorism as he applied the term to the GOP's tactics and labeled the party a terrorist group. Olbermann: "'To fill or overpower with terror; terrify. To coerce by intimidation or fear.' By this definition, the people who put these videos together, first the terrorists and then the administration, whose shared goal is to scare you into panicking instead of thinking, they are the ones terrorizing you. By this definition, the leading terrorist group in this world right now is al-Qaeda. But the leading terrorist group in this country right now is the Republican Party."

Good post. This guy is way out of his league and expertise, if he ever had any.

Thanks!

They practically worship Olbermann over at DU, so he'll probably stay on the air. Cable being what is, people can survive on the air by just having a loyal fringe group of followers.

Unless they have changed the plan, Olbermann will be sent to CNBC as part of the cost-cutting moves by MSNBC.

Funny thing is, Olbermann used to be interesting/amusing as an ESPN Sportscaster! Now he's just a crackpot...

This is just downright irresponsible.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I'm still trying to determine if it's COHERENT enough to make that determination. Every time I check in Keith's "reports" more closely resemble the rambling rants of your average psychotic street person.

I mean does Karl Rove have a chip in this freak's brain, or is he demonstrating and discrediting moonbat lunacy voluntarily?

This Olberman guy doesn't seem to know what real terrorism is.

Almost makes me want to sharpen up my handsaws you know.

Bet he'd like that.

Guy has always been a jacka$$, he was pretty much ran out of Sports broadcasting. I suspect his over the top melt downs is just to bring in the Air America crowd whom are needing a fix. It's all about his bottom dweller ratings. He is so desperate, he will gladly take the scourge of the earth as fans.

No thanks. I'll never do that. Just got back from early voting. They had several sheets from today, and this is a heavy Republican district.
