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."

This is the part of this that makes no sense whatsoever. Olbermann and Matthews are consistently outdone by Fox News, yet the stockholders haven't seemed to have rolled up their sleeves and figured out the obvious reason.
You'd think that savvy investors would follow the television news market and notice that they're losing market share (and money) to Fox News because of their network's utterly left-wing bias.
We see the same refusal to face reality with the print media. Nearly every big daily is collapsing because of their strident left-wing bias, but their stockholders are not forcing them to come to grips with the actual market conditions, and make sensible changes.
It's just unbelievable.
From the shareholders, to the executive staff, to the news rooms, they'd all rather lose their shirts and go broke, than to face the truth.
The most ludicrous part is that his NFL on NBC colleagues treat him as if he’s respectable, rather than a far left nutball. The same kind of people who would goad Rush Limbaugh into saying something controversial, then fire him for doing exactly what they wanted him to do, and then spend an hour wallowing in their self-righteousness over the firing.
I call Glenn a Patriot.
One of the worst things you can do to liberals is ridicule them mercilessly. They hate that. They go bananas. They can’t stand ridicule even though that is their modus operandi toward others. Liberals can dish it out but they can’t take it. They can’t take the heat. They fold like a tent in a hurricane.
‘So, what are Olbermanns ratings again in comparison to Glenns?’
Beck is #2 in the countrycable news race, second only to BOR. Shep Smith, for instance, has better ratings than Olbermann. That’s how bad Obie is doing.
Olbermann has been attacking O'Reilly for years every night, and O'Reilly ignored it. Then O'Reilly finally responded by naming the heads of NBC and GE and attacking them for serious offenses.
What woman could stand him? He’s vicious.
Watch the video. Conservatives need to see what NBC is putting on the air every night.
Why Watch it...It never changes..
and "Projection", Is the term, IIRC.
I'll bet you're right on that.
Olbermann, like all good little moonbats, only picks on safe targets like upstanding American patriots, and inquisitive journalists, who of course, will not behead him for insulting them.
I’d take offense but I have a bachelors in Mass Communications.
The few minutes Olbermann gave his audience of Glenn Beck instruction is the most informative information they will get in Olbermann’s entire program.
I would not know keith olderman from Adam.
Sounds like an instrument of the MSM which owns the Dimicrat party.
What was it Glenn said? Oh yeah, sticks and stones...
I think that is why AIR AMERICA failed.
Who wants to watch the same old anti American drivel every night?
Who wants to see America’s nobility and place in the world apologized for and belittled every night?
Who wants to hear how great socialism and communism are every night?
It gets old really fast.
My sister-in-law is a Republican who watched The Today Show, Brian Williams nightly news, and reads the local newspaper. She doesn't own a computer and had never heard of Olbermann until I explained him to her.
Now she watches the Fox News Channel after she found out what NBC allows Olbermann to do every night.
I am sure both of Olberman’s viewers agree
The NFL colleagues probably never watched Olbermann's show, and they need to. Apparently, I'm one of the few who has...:)
Here's a "Replacement", for K.OlberDork
they'll get 3X the ratings (in the morning).
...and the more they feel threatened! Glenn is reporting the truth, and it scares them.
