The runner-up, Jim Thompson, the owner of the right wing website Free Republic, which has moderated comments, meaning a grown up is supposed to read them and delete the crazier ones. But Thompson‘s folks waited as long as three days removing a comment thread devoted to the racist rage of a disturbing large number of his posters, possibly some of the same people who had previously conducted polls on the site on how best to topple the freely elected government of the United States.
After President Obama‘s daughter appeared in a t-shirt with a peace sign on it at the G-8, a thread at the Free Republic was opened with another photo of the first lady, captioned “to entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”
Some of the posts describe the Obamas, individually and collectively, as, quote, “typical street whore,” “bunch of ghetto thugs,” ghetto street trash,” “dirt bags,” “wonder when she‘ll get her first abortion,” “they make me sick, the whole family, mammy, pappy, the free loading mammy-in-law, the misguided children, and especially little cousin.”
No indication of how many of the racist attacks on Malia Obama were made by people who simultaneously were threatening anybody who even mentioned Sarah Palin‘s children. The most prominent response at Free Republic was not an apology, but rather the claim the comments were planted. This was, in turn greeted, by more racist comments by veterans of the site, and a call to action to flood the e-mail accounts of a list of the main stream media people, people like Don Imus of MSNBC, the “CBS Evening News” with Dan Rather, and Paula Zahn and Bill Hemmer and Tucker Carlson and Robert Novak of CNN.
Let me know if Dan Rather still answers his CBS e-mails, clowns.

1. When did Keith Olbermann get a cable show? I always wondered what happened to him since he left SportsCenter. He was pretty funny doing highlights.
To paraphrase Bob Uecker from Major League:
In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the ratings, you haven't... Keith Olbermann has a show on MSNBC.
2. What the heck is his problem with John Thompson, the former Georgetown coach? Did he refuse to give Keith an interview when he was working at ESPN?
He must be talking about the other Free Republic. The bizarro one.
Meanwhilst, a new tagline.
Leftists and the State Run Media are here........
What else is new?
I throw out a Bill Cullen and get nothing. Sad
Who is Bill Cullen? Is he involved with that Jim Thompson guy?

Jim Thompson was our former Combine Party (Republicrats) Illinois Governor from 1977-1991. Congrats to him for winning 2nd prize on the Olbermann show’s worst person.
Bill Cullen and Betty White were the Valerie Plame and (what’s his name) of the early 60s. Their cover was televised game shows.
I think this is the funniest thread I’ve ever seen on FR.

Wow. I thought he was scalped, gutted, and left to die by the.... ummm.... folks that do that kind of stuff.
And then crawled off and killed a grizzly to replace his hair and internal organs.
Last I heard he was between Silver City and El Paso, lookin' for someone, riding hard, and he was really, really upset. Really bad hair day for Liver Eating Jim Thompson. Seriously bad hair day. Can't comb grizzly bear fur to cover a bald spot where you've been scalped.
I hope that tenderfoot Olberman gets to meet our Jimmy.

Thanks. No matter how young you are there is always somebody even younger who doesn’t get the reference and makes you feel like you are old.
Happens to me all the time now. I’m only 41 but I have to explain crap to Gen Y kids whose birthdates are ridiculous, 1987, 1990.
They were the kids and college students who voted for Barack Fitzgerald Obama. Dumbasses are now waiting two deep in the unemployment line.
OMG...........that is hysterical! the poor guy....all fifteen of them.
Excellent analysis, BG!
Hank
Oh .... noooo.... Oh man. Those poor guys...!!!
Overbite is a racist! What has he called Bush and Cheney??
Pray for America
I made up my mind that I would make whatever references I felt like, because it was fun. I also suspected that there would be *someone* who’d get it. I know what you mean, though.
To make you feel better, I’ve heard that there are lots of 20 y.o.s who love the Beatles, and the music of the 60s-70s, because their parents would play it. A second generation grew up with it. Young guitarists love the more intricate songs, and acknowledge that there’s nothing like it today.
And our own Jim Thompson was undercover with Betty and Bill, and went by the name “Allen Ludden.” Remember? :-)
LMHO!
