Keith Olbermann Gets Punked By George Soros
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | RB

Posted on 03/07/2011 12:49:24 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

Hyper-leftist commentators are getting punked a lot lately. That’s what happens when one is constantly parroting talking points without bothering to fact check. Earlier this week David Shuster torpedoed his credibility (or whatever was left of it) by pushing the Media Matters narrative that Fox was banned in Canada. Punked. The latest punkee? Keith Olbermann.

A few weeks ago some hack decided to accuse Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck of using a service provided by the company that syndicates their radio shows: Premiere Networks (a subsidiary of Clear Channel).

The job, the email indicated, paid $40 an hour, with one hour guaranteed per day.

But what exactly was the work? The question popped up during the audition and was explained, the actor said, clearly and simply: If he passed the audition, he would be invited periodically to call in to various talk shows and recite various scenarios that made for interesting radio. He would never be identified as an actor, and his scenarios would never be identified as fabricated—which they always were.

“I was surprised that it seemed so open,” the actor told me in an interview. “There was really no pretense of covering it up.”

Curious, the actor did some snooping and learned that Premiere On Call was a service offered by Premiere Radio Networks, the largest syndication company in the United States and a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, the entertainment and advertising giant. Premiere syndicates some of the more sterling names in radio, including Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity. But a great radio show depends as much on great callers as it does on great hosts: Enter Premiere On Call.

WHOA, right? This Premiere Networks must be some Koch-funded astroturf outfit tasked with promoting conservative causes at all costs.

My favorite punking of Libs is to use the word “niggardly” in a sentence with “0bama”.

They go nuts. I let them carry on for awhile.

Then, I go into the definition and etymology of “niggardly,” which is an old norse word for stingy, and has never had anything to do with race.

But leftists are usually so stupid, they fall right into the trap.

Good fun!

I told her that if she coudl just shut up for one minute she might learn something. She did not shut up then had to shout above her and tell her fags are cigs in England you idiot Everyone in the store just started laughing at her. She quickly ran out , red in the face saying I know that Another one is when the idiots say African American and I ask do you mean black people. When they reply well yes of course I then ask them what do they call people from Africa who are white and have become American? No answer , except for a couple which said are you sure white people come from Africa. Yes I am serious. Lol Still the left have never been known for their brains have they.

Kind of like when PETA tried to get the town of Fishkill, NY to change it's name. I think they offered them quite a bit of money if they would.

They were politely informed that "kill" is Dutch for "river." At that point, they decided that "elsewhere" seemed like an excellent place to be.

Even better, if they object, tell them they are anti-Hispanic. Negro is the Spanish word for black.

I saw some leftie pimping this story the other day and my BS detector went off immediately. Conservative shows have to pay for callers? Riiiight.

We’re all African American.

It just depends on how long ago your ancestors left.

Imagine when they see those Egyptians not being black black, the poor lost left must be wondering if they really are African. My oldest aged back then 9 heard his teacher say African Americans, it was Feb and they were discussing what blacks have contributed to the country etc. My kid put his hand up and said do you mean blacks The teachers said "why yes" Once my kid pointed out that white people are African too the teacher looked at another woman in the room and said "very good point" The left try so hard to be PC that they make themselves look ignorant or stupid. Dyke = In Holland has another meaning. Fag = different meaning. faggot_= differnt meaning. African Americans can be white. We have a park near here called favor dykes and one liberal MA woman who had moved down here wanted the name of the park to be changed. Now they do not see all the killings and attacks by muslims as inspired by their religion islam. Forget about the fact they shout allah akbar. Admit they did it in the name of their religion. The left just can't see radical muslims or islamic terrorism. Hell most of them have no clue they're holding a socialist sign at these protests.

I know a white guy who immigrated here from South Africa as a child with his family. His citizenship came through while he was in college, and he applied for and got a full ride African American scholarship for his senior year.

Apparently to hear him tell it, the black woman admin in the Financial Aid office was not amused.

I didn’t know faggots were meatballs. I know a lot of British folks and none of them ever used it that way. I just knew the bundle of sticks meaning.

Of course “gay” still means happy. So maybe if I’m ever asked if I’m gay I can say “I was yesterday, but not so much today.”

Along with Peekskill and Catskill, it was the Dutch (Henry Hudson) who first explored the Hudson River.

And don't even get me started on "Schuylkill." Last thing I need is to get into the whole SSRI-withdrawal thing. Probably not the most appropriate subject for humor.

If you really want their heads to explode, quote the late, great, Grand Kleagle of the Klu Klux Klan, DemonRAT, Senator from West Virginia Robert Byrd.

The late Senator Byrd was being interviewed on FOX News Sunday, by the late Tony Snow, and in the words of Senator Byrd, "I've known niggers..." but you must be respectful of Senator Byrd and remember he was the Lion of the Senate.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and every other race baiting African-xxxxx were no where to be found.

"Sniggering*" is a word the Brits use a lot. *snig·ger    [snig-er] Show IPA –verb (used without object), verb (used with object), noun snicker. (I hope this isn't over the line!)

IIRC, a haughty former 'Rat presidential candidate (who, by the way, served in Vietnam) is married to an extremely wealthy white woman who was born in Mozambique and likes to eat raisins soaked in vodka.

Wouldn't that make said wealthy white woman 'African-American'?

Excellent point.

I would argue that she is more “African-American” than black Americans who have been here for, say, 10 generations and more.
