Olberman (MSNBC) Apologizes for Republican Insensitivity (Puke)
MSNBC | 9/4/08 | Keith Olberman

Posted on 09/04/2008 5:57:12 PM PDT by XEHRpa

I was just watching MSNBC whining, because I refused to watch O'Reilly serving softballs to Obama. The RNC was showing a video tribute to the 9/11 victims.

After the tribute, Olby breaks back, and makes note that what he has to say is for our ears only, that he doesn't want to disturb his colleagues at the convention (Olby is in NY studio).

He then says, if any network showed these terrible disturbing images at such length, they would be skewered by everyone for their insensitivity, including the RNC. He went on to say he lost close friends in 9/11, and then apologized to his viewers for having to sit through the "disturbing" video put on by the RNC.

There are some liberals who pray at the alter of Olbermann. It has been my personal experience that they are just as crazy as he is.

The Democrats and the intellectual elite are rewriting history. 9/11 is the first thing going down the Memory Hole.

I doubt many high school seniors could tell you the significance of Americas role in World War II, so the revision is well on its way.

Demented Waldo is going to go totally mental(I must say) on the air in the not to distant future. He’s going to make Howard Beale look like Alistair Cooke.He’ll probably climb to the top of the RCA building and start picking off passersby with an AK47.

As far as Keith is concerned September 11, 2001 was just another day.

To be honest, I think that olberman was sent to Coventry cause of some of his visceral comments about republicans.

I don't think he was afraid of being attacked at the RNC, I think MSNBC decided to keep him from attend the convention.

Obviously the RNC has forgotten that 9/11 was Mr. Olbermann's personal tragedy and no one else's business. Olbermann will let the rest of us know when and how we should commemorate 9/11.

Oblerman isn’t disturbing. He is DISTURBED.

He is as rotten a person as the Americans Mildred Gillars and William Joyce, better known as Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw.

My sister told me that she is a Socialist. I asked her how long. She said since our mom tried to have her high school history book banned in 1970. I thought ‘Poor Mom. The history books must have been lying that long ago.’ My late (2006) mother lived through WW2. She absolutely hated when there was revisionist history taught. She was a teacher. I knew my sister was far left but 2 months ago was the first time she admitted to me that she is actually a Socialist. Made me sick.

Just when you think that Overbite has sunk to the lowest low possible, he manages to outdo himself.

Re: Is this a serious man?

Before you ask that, the question of whether he is a man must be answered.

Not sure that being a metrosexual qualifies.

The left does not want history to be known. If history is known then we will have to have strong leadership. The media’s leader is not strong. obama is a military wimp and a socialist. Speak what happen on 9/11 long and loud. Tell your children and grandchildren, heck tell everyone you come in contact with.

He is extra pissed now that Obambi has been served with papers.

Methinks the mainstream is angry too!!! What timing .....hahahahaha.

Barry’s not a citizen and an angry traitor.

At least we KNOW where McCain is born and he hasn’t hidden aliases. Barry Soetoro will hopefully become a household name.

Tom Brokaw is just USELESS.

MSNBC is still whoring to attack republicans.

Brokaw is complaining the convention is not doing elite media way.

MSNBC is pushing we should have surrendered in Iraq.

Hey Olberman,

Name those 19 close friends you lost on 9/11.

Can’t do it — can you?
