Olbermann to Daily Kos Audience: 'Send Me Everything You Can Find About Glenn Beck'
Newsbusters ^ | September 6, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 09/06/2009 12:58:04 PM PDT by Scanian

Guess who's not pleased about Van Jones middle-of-the-night-on-a-holiday-weekend resignation? Perhaps you never would have seen this one coming, but no other MSNBC "Countdown" host and provocateur Keith Olbermann himself.

Bitter and seeing red? Perhaps. In a post on the Daily Kos dated Sept. 6, Olbermann urged the half-crazed liberal Kos readers to go digging for dirt on Fox News host Glenn Beck, Beck's radio producer Stu Burguiere and Fox News president Roger Ailes. (h/t Morgen of Verum Serum)

"I don't know why I've got this phrasing in my head, but: Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes," Olbermann wrote. "No, even now, I refuse to go all caps. No, sending me links to the last two Countdowns with my own de-constructions of his biblical vision quality Communist/Fascist/Socialist/Zimbalist art at Rockefeller Center (where, curiously, he works, Comrade) doesn't count. Nor does sending me links to specious inappropriate point-underscoring prove-you're-innocent made-up rumors."

Olbermann said he plans to put forth his formal plans to go after Beck on his Sept. 8 show.

"Tuesday we will expand this to the television audience and have a dedicated email address to accept leads, tips, contacts, on Beck, his radio producer Burguiere, and the chief of his tv enablers, Ailes (even though Ailes' power was desperately undercut when he failed to pull off his phony ‘truce' push)," Olbermann wrote.

It's not clear what Olbermann's goal is here, but it does appear he's some how trying to employ the thirteenth rule from the tactics chapter from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" - "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Olbermann dedicated segments last week during two shows going after Beck's analysis of the art in NBC headquarters Rockefeller Center, in New York City.

Hey, laying it all there in a book was good enough for the current POTUS to get elected. That's a good thing, right? Olbermann is a sad, loser moron and I'm sorry I've spent so much of my time on him on this thread, lol. Ugh.

Olbermann proved with this just how very stupid he really is...if there were ANYTHING on Glen does he not think obama’s goons would not have already plastered it literally EVERYWHERE?!?

Beck is not employed by the taxpayers - Jones was. Beck is not beholden to anyone for his livelihood and only has to answer to himself. The taxpayers employed Jones and don’t have to put up with his garbage.

“Two can play at this game. I seem to recall some interesting comments made about the very metrosexual Keith by women who have dated him.”

Olber”it” might not want to open up our people to Vetting him.

Gee, if only Olbermann didn’t have 1/100th of Beck’s ratings. This might amount to something. As it is he’s just acting like a petulant child.

If Oaferman doens’t come up with anything on Glenn, he’ll just make it up (ala Obama crowd vs Sarah Palin). Right out of Saul Alinsky’s book.

Everyone set your DVRs and TIVOs to record Glenn. Let's subscribe to his mag. Let's bump his ratings even more. I have to record it when it comes on at 3 pm, as I am out trying to make a living for my family(and 10 other losers under the socialism of the last 50 years).

Olbermann is most entertaining when he’s all “wee-wee’d up” with his panties in a wad.

BECK HAS TOLD HIS LIFE STORY FOR YEARS. But ofcourse the empty heads at KOS will try to make NEEEWWWWS of his story.
My Mom(90) was very proud of Beck. So don’t bother everyone already knows everything.

My suggestion to KOS, you better pay attention to those rattling skeletons in your own closet.

One advantage Olbermann has is that his audience, what there is of it, could not care less what kind of sleaze he is.

Another advantage is that his employer supports Obama explicitly and really does not much care about his poor ratings. GE hopes to get more bailout, carbon credit and other Government money in amounts that make Network profits look like chump change. It is no accident that Obama named Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of NBC(MSNBC) Universal parent GE, to his new economic advisory board.

Did you read the post over at KOS regarding having BECKS address. Can’t get his phone #. I heard Beck say he has security. He has small children. the thought of these vicious insane ones having anyones address is very disconcerting.
