VIDEO: Keith Olbermann calls Glenn Beck an 'Uneducated, Imperceptive, Panicky Wack Job'
Examiner.com ^ | 9/3/09 | Liz Barrett

Posted on 09/05/2009 7:33:13 PM PDT by Dr. Scarpetta

Just in case you missed this on TV -- or all over the Internet -- here's the video of 'Countdown' host Keith Olbermann blasting his enemy of the week, Fox News conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck. The rant started with Olbermann saying:

"The danger of today's version of the mythical homespun aw-shucks-TV-totalitarian-Lonesome-Rhodes Glenn Beck is summed up by remarks today in which he claims that a revolution has begun in this country — a 'stealing of America in the guise of an election' — and his repeated insistence that the President is a Marxist.

The comfort of today's mythical homespun aw-shucks-TV-totalitarian-Lonesome-Rhodes Glenn Beck is that everyday he gives away the essential truth that he is an idiot."

GE stockholders need to be asking why they’re throwing money down that hole to begin with. Seems to me that they should expect GE to actually make money for them.

Exactly right...

So, what are Olbermann’s ratings again in comparison to Glenn’s?

Olbermann says he's got the best ratings on cable tv. I don't know where he gets his numbers from, but he believes it and says it almost every night nonetheless.

He is just reading his teleprompter. He isn’t even bright enough to come up with these insults.

It’s better to have Glenn’s I.Q. than an education...IMO.

You know, I remember when Keith used to be intentionally funny.

That sounds like Olbermann is delusional, but he's just a liar.

I think he excludes FoxNews programs. And doesn’t count anyone over thirty. And doesn’t consider viewers as legitimate unless they are on prescription meds.

The guy’s entire show is based on his attacking and demonizing his political opponents, never about taking an affirmative stand on anything.

From what I've seen, Olbermann only has extreme liberals on who agree with him....never anyone who disagrees.

Who is Keith Olbermann, and is he important, and why should I care ????

He's the female half of the Olbermann/Maddow laugh fest on PMS-NBC.

But you're right.  There's no need to care.

Uneducated? Where did Keith Olbermann go to college.

Ah, I just googled it, and found a column by Ann Coulter:

http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=300

Apparently, Olbermann went to a state agriculture college in Cornell—but claims to have gone to Cornell. Which is evidently a lie.

Apparently, Olbermann makes a living attacking conservatives for being “uneducated” while lying about his own ag school education.

Looks like Olberman is capable of bringing the same informed, reasonable debate to town hall meetings as the rent-a-mob folks.

ROTFLOL!! You hit the nail on the head... here's a quote from Olberlozer:

OLBERMANN: I hate to intrude with the facts but ours is the highest cable news program viewers 35 and younger and the highest rated cable not on Fixed News and since Fixed News has now migrated completely over to serving propaganda, tinfoil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racists

From this: Olbermann Ratings Hallucinations

Does this mean wacko Keith has gotten over his obsession with O’Reilly and now is obsessing over Glenn Beck? Keith is a pathetic joke.

Olberman couldn’t handle an opposing view, not just because he’s not mature enough to deal with the thought that people might not agree with him but because he doesn’t have enough brainpower to light a pen light, much less to debate an opponent. I’ll give Mancow, Matthews and that Ed Schultz dope some credit for at least on rare occassions hosting Republicans. But Olberloser is way too mentally stunted to be able to debate.

Olbermann is an unfortunate survivor of a botched partial birth abortion. The doctors sucked out his brains and left that poor hulk of an orange faced body. HE’S ALIVE......but for how long on that little tv station MSNBC?

What kind of person goes on tv night after night and attacks people on other networks, and why does NBC allow it?

Liberals are all liars because they constantly try to defend the indefensible and they know it.
