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."

He's got a face for radio. Maybe he'd have better luck there.

The fact that this perfumed, coiffed, pretty-boy can spout his vitriol against the nation's leader on national television without any fear whatsoever negates his very argument.

He is either a LIAR or a POMPOUS FOOL, or BOTH.

This clown has a serious, serious problem.

For his own good, I hope he'll seek professional help and medication.

So he tries to scare people into voting democrat by telling people the republicans are the real terrorists in the country and are only trying to scare them into voting republican?

Is there anything a liberal does that isn't projection or hypocrisy?

MSNBC thinks it is the Liberal alternative to Fox News.

'Cept they're too ignorant to know Fox News isn't Conservative, it's just fair.

So, the stuff the spew out is offensive or uninteresting to 85% of the people in the U.S.

Hence, their lousy ratings.

Olbermann is trying to get his licks in before they turn the lights off at MSNBC.
