Olbermann Sneers at Thompson Speech: 'Mostly Standing McCain Next to a Flag and a Gun'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/02/2008 8:54:21 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Reviewing speeches at the Dem convention, Keith Olbermann was like a mother describing her child's performance in a middle-school musical. "A grand slam across the street," enthused Olbermann over Hillary's effort, only to outdo himself by calling Obama's speech's "spellbinding" and "extraordinary."

But when it came to reviewing Fred Thompson's speech at tonight's Dem convention, Olbermann suddenly morphed into Frank Rich with a migraine back in his theater critic days.

Sniffed Olbermann: "We have heard two speeches in the last forty minutes or so, Chris, first from President Bush and now from former Senator Fred Thompson. I think it's fair to say, nearly entirely militaristic in nature and touching to some degree on who John McCain is and what he would do, but mostly standing him next to a flag and a gun."

Newt spanked him pretty good and Keith O. was helpless on the sidelines.

This clown failed at local TV and is a reminder of the Peter Principle that people rise to their highest level of incompetence...he reached his highest level of incompetence right after kindergarten.

Does Olbermann have the stones to sneer in Fred's face?

Or does his little brother Rachel have to do it for him?

I’m frankly shocked that Olbermann can identify an American flag and a gun.

He also said that women don’t have prominent places in the republican party, except Palin, and she is just a governor who has no experience.

It’s unbelievable.

Leftists like the Olberdork really do loathe America (the heart and soul of it). To effeminate leftist sex toys like Olberdork the snide reference to “a flag and a gun” seems like the perfect putdown. He knows nothing of history and nothing of what has made this country great and (usually) safe and secure. He sits there on his a## and sneers at symbols of our military, our citizens, our nation.

And then leftists get upset if you question their patriotism!!!

Olberdouche is mostly a pu&&y too scared to come out to MSP.
Come on Keith, nothing to fear here, why not have marKos hold your manbag...or better yet, help you teabag...

Those two idiots are saying there was no vetting for the VP.

Rove explained the process on FNC earlier today.

Mathews has drunk the koolaid.

What a idiot but then again he worked for Carter and wants to go back to the kooky karter years.

I’d like to see Olberman next to a flag and in front of a firing squad.*

*Note to the voices in Keith Olberman’s head: This was a joke. Please do not badger MSNBC for additional security.
