Olbermann Seems To Suggest Lieberman Might Be On The Take
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

How enraged is Keith Olbermann with Joe Lieberman for announcing that he would filibuster a health care bill that contains a government-control provision? Enough that, without presenting any evidence whatsoever, the Countdown host has slyly implied that Lieberman might be on the take from insurance companies in his home state of Connecticut.

You had to listen carefully, but Olbermann slipped the scurrilous suggestion into his diatribe against Liebermann on tonight's Countdown.

Here was Olbermann . . .

Innuendo is not news. I’m sure Zero approves though.

Olbermanns is a pissant. Wouldn’t watch him even if I could. Bad enough he’s on Sunday Night Football.

Heaven Forbid an elected representative of a state actually vote for something that prevents the destruction of an industry that employs of a big part of his constituency

I was watching Lou Dobbs tonight and he had some hack on who suggested the same thing. He said Lieberman’s wife was employed by the Insurance companies and Lieberman was a longtime champion of same while implying Lieberman was on their payroll. I think we have the blueprint for the left’s destruction of Lieberman. Look for more in the coming days.

Guess we know who and what was talked about when Olberman and Maddow went to the WH.

What a tired old tactic. Get a new playbook Olberdouche. Str8 from page 123 section A ...If logic fails and you are facing a soul crushing defeat which will be politically devastating revert to saying some some capitalist hobgoblin “got to” someone. Because we all know with all the rich liberal thieves from Wall Street with Semetic sounding last names that progressives are all so altruistic. This is more up the dyke’s alley though, Maddow is queen of the demented when it comes to conspiracy theories.

Oh! You had to go and remind me of THAT! It's the reason I can't turn the game on until I am sure the pre-game show is over! What an a-hole he is. Can't stand to even look at his face on mute. Much like Obama...

Paraphrasing, pretty much what I posted. I think the talking points are out on Lieberman and the attacks will continue in the typical left “destroy dissenters and enemies” mode. The implication was that Lieberman’s wife has been a longtime advocate (on the payroll) of the insurance companies and this threatened filibuster by him was expected because he had been bought and paid for.

Someone on this forum sort of suggested, obliquely, that Lieberman is on the take, or at least has a political interest. I don't think so.

Not really. That photo is much too good looking to be a likeness of Obe.

I saw a BRIEF portion of Lou Dobbs, and Joe Conason WENT OFF on a rant how Joe’s wife works for Pfizer, and Joe is in the pocket of anyone who sells pharmaceutical products in this galaxy, and a chance he’s also getting money from outside the Milky Way.

It must be the just released Axel-Rahm talking points about Joe for today’s and tomorrow’s news cycle.....
