The only thing smaller than Olbermann's audience is Maureen Dowd's list of boyfriends or appearances by Helen Thomas in "most watched people" lists.

[facedown]

Well, Keith finally found someone of equal intellect to interview.

[Howlin]

Ping...

[tobyhill]

So people who support the President have been reduced to a psychological experiment?

[Migraine]

I know we seem authoritarian (we, who espouse rule of law) to them (they, who espouse rule of "feelings" -- theirs).

[Darkwolf377]

Olbermann not only made his latest reference to George Orwell's 1984, but he also found relevance in bringing up Nazi Germany

Keith Olberman talking authoritatively about Nazism is like Rosie O'Donnell coming out with a book titled "The Heterosexual Weight Loss Plan".

The smaller his audience gets, the more he foams at the mouth in an effort to be seen as "dangerous" like that weirdo on CNBC who talks about stocks.

[Darkwolf377]

Olbermann admitted to his overuse of "Orwellian analogies"

Does he fool anyone into thinking he's ever read any book BUT 1984, which, as great a book as it is, is short and easy to grasp?

"neoconservatives and many Republicans" might be willing to deliberately "provoke potential terrorists" in order "to maintain influence and control of the presidency."

Yes, that's right, Bush is "overdoing it" in Gitmo and Iraq because he wants Al Qaeda to strike again.

What a freakin lepton.

Laura Ingraham played salivating snippets of Olbermann tongue sucking John Dean last night. Hilarious!!

"Olbermann to Dean: "You've been an historian, you've been a part of history. You've been at one of the central moments of history in the 20th century...."

[Darkwolf377]

"I ran into a massive study that had really been going on for 50 years now, by academics, they've never really shared this with the general public."

LOL! You can't make this stuff up!

Oooooh, you "ran into this massive study"--hope your seat belt was on, John.

[seasoned traditionalist]

"Olbermann showed fascination with a passage from Dean's book which suggested that "neoconservatives and many Republicans" might be willing to deliberately "provoke potential terrorists" in order "to maintain influence and control of the presidency."

Olbermann continued: "That's ominous not just in the sense that authoritarians involved in conservatism and now Republicanism would politicize counterterror here, which we've already argued that point on many occasions. But are you actually saying here they would set up, encourage terrorism from other countries to set them up as a bogeyman to have again that group to hate here, that group to more importantly afraid of here?"

Is there a pair of dimwits anywhere, more clueless than these two and do they really believe the hate-filled garbage they spew or is their rhetoric simply to advance their liberal agenda?

Either way, its sad and disgusting to see anyone even suggesting such a crass and baseless accusation.

Yes, "we" (Conservatives) actually "invited" this response to our actions (whatever they might have been?) and most definetly "provoked" our enemy in attacking us on many occasions, in many places, including 9/11.

YES, WE (CONSERVATIVE) BROUGHT THIS ON OURSELVES.
WE "PROVOKED IT", DON'T YOU KNOW, SIMPLY TO RETAIN POWER

[roses of sharon]

LOL, what a conspirazoid! Isn't he the guy who whined that Ohio was stolen?

What a NancyBoy, is he afraid of everything?

[onyx]

Oh yes, bring up the attention-getting Nixon comparison. Talk about beating a dead horse. That is worthy of the "award."

[dead]

Olbermann admitted to his overuse of "Orwellian analogies" as he compared al-Qaeda to the Two Minutes Hate from 1984 which served as "an enemy to coalesce around or the whole thing falls apart."

This is the guy whose show features a two-minute or so “Worst Person on Earth” segment each day.

Seriously, Olbermann is a lunatic in a journalist suit. But, on the bright side, nobody but other lunatics watch him.

[Liberty Valance]

"MSNBC's Keith Olbermann hosted former Nixon White House counsel and frequent Bush administration critic John Dean..."

He was a somewhat relevant lawyer with a trophy wife parsing syllables during Watergate in the 70's. He has never been a part of or had access to the current administration. He's supposed to be credible to cheap shot artist Keith Overthetopman? A show and interview about nothin'.

[NYCVirago]

Did you see the Keith Olbermann puff piece in the New York Times today? It goes on and on and on about how his ratings for the 24-35 demographic have gone up, but never says what the ratings are. It also doesn't have a word about him sleeping with a groupie of his show and dumping her (she's the one who revealed his snarky emails.)

I ran into a massive study that had really been going on for 50 years now, by academics, they've never really shared this with the general public.

The supersecret ancient and unquestionable science revealed.

[edzo4]

this is hillarious, rush is right if you want to know what the democrats are up to see what they are accusing others of...

go back and look at the quotes from olberman again but instead of republicans and al qeada think democrats and global warming or gay marriage or any issue at all and you have a copy of the democrat play book

[driftless]

This interview could be summed up as simply two liberal ignoramuses yammering at one another. Imagine, a group of utra-liberal "intellectual" academia nuts deducing that conservatives are basically evil people. What a shock.

[Mo1]

Does Oberman realize that Nazi Germany and Italy's fascism of the 30s .. they were all from the Socialist Party???

[Steve_Seattle]

"Dean contended that a number conservatives "march in lockstep when they get the word from the authority they are expected to follow."

LOL Dean obviously has never visited FR. If you want to find critics of Bush, Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Buchanan, Savage, O'Reilly, or any other conservative, you can find plenty of them right here.

But can Dean explain why - if there are no authoritarians on the Left - the Left always creates authoritarian or totalitarian governments? As usual, when finding authoritarians only on the Right, the Left is engaging in psychological projection.
