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

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.

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.

If Keith thought about it for a moment, he would realize it is a very, very bad idea.

You knew this was coming. It's how they've been doing business for 50 years.

Let's all send him links about the fabricated rumor that Glenn raped and murdered a girl in 1991.

Make him swim in his own swill.

Hey Olberman, maybe the lefties at Kaos can find some kryptonite.

Sorry, I posted a duplicate of this article.

"I've got this phrasing in my head" he says. LOL. Olbermann's got little voices.

Hey, Keith! Glenn’s not going to stop turning over rocks now, and neither will we:

Glenn Beck statement on resignation of Van Jones
September 6, 2009 - 3:00 ET

“The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.”

What's to stop anyone from digging up dirt on Olbermann? He just gave everyone the idea with his little rant.

I'd be willing to bet that his past is more sordid than Beck's.

You can just kind of tell.

I did not know that POS was capable of any thought, let alone a rational one.

Ewww...women have dated him? Yucky. He is so NOT attractive, even if he wasn't out of his gourd.

Glenn Beck is an open book. He knew they would go after him. He told them on one of his shows he has been at rock bottom before and there is nothing they can do to him as he is able to rise up from the ashes and start all over again.

Even "IF" they were able to find dirt on Beck, Olberwimp would have to have an audience to spew his garbage to.

Next would be the problem of coherency.
