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.

Here we go again. These are the same coward a**h*les waisted our efforts in Vietnam. They were happy that McCain and his inmates was tortured in prison camps and regret he came home alive. They had no concern about the political and ethnic cleansing that went on during and after the war.

Their concern for American losses in VN was pure crocodile tears. They only wanted our GI’s home so they could abuse them.

I returned home from the Navy and exercised my GI to go to college. More than a couple of times I overheard conversations about how it was a crime for the government to pay for veterans education.

They thought the won a victory at the end of the war. I got news for them, they lost. The Viet Nam conflict started crack that started the collapse of the USSR.

They lost then and they will always loose, just like Socialism is a sure looser.

It is the rugged individualism that the left can not tollerate.

YOU were the person who made the decisions as to what to do with your life. YOU made use of the assets available to you.
That is americana.

The left would have ALL military people drolling on phychotropic drugs undergoing hours of group therapy to neutralize their negative masculine proclivities to acting individualistic.

I bet advertisers were starting to want better rates or cancelation clauses in the face of the PUSH BACK.

FOLKS, we need to KEEP PUSHING BACK!

No mercy on the chatter class. Brokaw and Olberman were dispicable last night in pushing the notion that NOBODY from the EEEEEEVIL days of Viet Nam deserves to be president. (that crunch noise you hear is kerry being tossed under the bus)

This appology is CLINTONESQUE.

If anyone wants to watch this it’s on Huffandpuffpost.com both Overman’s B.S. and the 9/11 tribute video.

The elite will always have to have somebody to dump on, no matter what they say about equality.

There are graveyards all over Europe and Asia which are essentially dumping grounds.

At least she has admitted it. That’s the 1st step to getting better.

Now if all the other 10 million idiots could confess.

“NOBODY from the EEEEEEVIL days of Viet Nam deserves to be president.”

Wish they had said that when Klintoon was trying for it.

Yess!!! I posted it, and today I hear that it was this very Olberman incident that got him thrown out of the anchor chair.

I’d like to think that some clueless NBC management jock happened to stumble across the FReep, which precipitated the subsequent removal action.

But if not, just remember that Free Republic had the scoop first!
