Keith Olbermann, host of Countdown on MSNBC, lied about Free Republic last night in a segment on white supremacist James Von Brunn, the accused murderer of a Stephen Johns, a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
Olbermann falsely said that Von Brunn was a poster at Free Republic and that Free Republic is a Republican website.
A request for a correction has been made to Countdown via phone and e-mail.

Olbermann: Von Brunn himself posted on the Republican Web site, Free Republic, spouting the right-wing claim that Obamas birth certificate was forged, defending President Bush against Dan Rather, and claiming the media had tried to destroy Sarah Palin.

Boycott. Let the show’s sponsors know you and your family will no longer buy their products.

hell, even a lefty knows Olberdouche is a liar. They just get off on his lies because it suits them.
No one would believe a word he says, nor would they stake their welfare check on him.

What sponsors? What profitable business not owned by the Obama WH would ever buy ad time on a show featuring a lying dildo like Olbermann?
The man is a psycho.

Mr. Overman, sir, if you yet retain any trace of HONOR, you

justice and decency DEMANDS YOU SO TO DO!!!

GOP_Lady deserves a medal for enduring MSNBC primetime to keep us apprised. I can only last a few minutes before change channels.

Introducing the 2009 Olbermann. Designed to go places where no sensible douchebag would dare to go. Ideal for enemas!
To: indylindy
No sponsors, really? What a laugh. I really didn't know as I never watched the show. I also do not watch football if he is on the halftime report or part of the after game analysis.
His treatment of Sarah Palin turned me away from MSNBC.
To: GOP_Lady
Exactly. A responsible news outlet would have contacted FR before their report.

Olberliar seems to have left out that Von Brunn is a registered Democrat, hates George Bush, is a 9/11 “truther”, is an anti-Semite, and hates Christianity (he thinks it was a Jewish plot to infiltrate Europe).
Yeah, Keith, those sound like typical conservative and/or Republican views to me. (rolls eyes)
Olbermann’s been a liar ever since he left that cattle & sheep college in rural New York and falsely reported it as an “Ivy League education.”

I'm not surprised that Olbermann would lie about such a thing. He's without conscience.

Please let me play devil’s advocate for a moment: don’t throw anything!?!
Do we KNOW that Von Brunn has NOT posted here?
Did Olbermann offer any proof that the Von Brunn HAS posted here?

I haven’t watched msnbc in years. I can’t imagine who does....but, with the kind of crap he peddles, his sponsors would have to owned by the DNC. Otherwise, nobody would want to take the risk dealing with a psychopath.
My hubby and myself have quit watching the football presentations he appears on.
He is a rotton clown and a disgraceful person.

There are no indications he posted at FR. Olbermann offered no proof.
