Thread: Keith Olbermann kicks ass.......

I like him, also. I especially love his worst person in the world bits.

Hopefully what he discusses can lead people to read and evaluate on their own and draw their own conclusions.

Since when did he turn into a political pundit?

No comment

keith is partisan hack....he is bill oreilly for the left.

kind of ironic huh?

I think about 4 or five years ago.


Probably always was into the politics and current events, but was a sportscaster for ESPN.

I just can't see, the guy that says, as cool as the other side of the pillow, and phrases like that

I don't like 'pop-politics' and 'pop-political commentary.'

That's probably why I haven't turned on my TV in a very long time. Maybe a month.

I seek out the information I want and read about it in books and on the web.

I only focus on policies.

That's probably the best way to go about things.

But, unlike Rush, Bill, and Sean, Kieth is funny.

I don't think Keith is left wing at all.


He is not left-wing at all.


He's a Center guy.

Actually, a Right Winger.

He's a rude idiot. That's all.

And no way is he a conservative. That's laughable.

He is more the Ann Coulter of the left. Just spewing crap and pissing people off. Not as good looking though.

Keith isn't as left as ya'll would like to believe. Just because he isn't spewing the same conservative garbage that FAUX news personalities do, doesn't make him a leftist.

Try listening too him. Geez. Left, left, left.

I listen to him all of the time. I'm speaking from my perspective, one that is completely nonpartisan, and I see him as more of a moderate than a leftist. Sure, he leans more to the left than the right. That is obvious. That doesn't make him a leftist. Bill O'liely calls himself an independent, and he is one of the most rightist news talk personalities I have seen.

You and many other hardcore republicans have this "your either with us or against us" mentality.

You really should try and get away from that.

And, maybe you would like Keith more if he went on rants about how drug offenders get off too easy, then get busted for illegal pharmaceuticals, twice, then big the judge of leniency like a little bitch.

If you are calling me a "hardcore" republican, it discredits you comments about KO. I am not even a Republican.

Pay attention son.

More than I think he is a leftist, I think he is a pompous windbag and an idiot.

You reacted to me calling him leftist, not an idiot. LOL

I posted the fact that you are wrong about him being leftist. I don't care who you think are idiots, because that is completely subjective. You don't like the guy, and there is nothing in the world wrong with that. I don't like Rush, Bill, Sean, or Ann, but If I said Ann Coulter is a steamboat captain, at least 50 people would reply to the post telling me I am wrong. Do get what I'm saying?

Not Ann Coulter she's a wacho no one can compare to that. What a joke son

I do listen to him, and I definitely don't consider him to be Left-Wing.

I agree.

Ann Coulter just called John Edwards a faggot. She has called Al Gore a faggot on national tv. That seems to be the extent of her informed opinion.

She is bad comic relief that appeals to people seeminly enamored of "balance" in news and opinion--right wing v. the world. It doesn't matter if the opinion expressed to achieve that "balance" is retarded, childish bullshit, it "balances" out the other side's opinion.

Olbermann is a good pundit sometimes. Sometimes he's into fluff and he makes mistakes. But sometimes he is dead on. That's more than I can say for Ann, Rush, Sean, and all the other defenders of wealth and privilege that suck at the teat of their corporate masters.

When someone claims that the "other side" is always wrong, this usually means that there is something wrong with the speaker's "side."

Usually.
But not in this case.

When the counter argument to the thesis America should not foster torture is to call your opponent a traitor, that is indicative of a bankrupt counter argument, i.e., no argument, i.e., bullshit/propaganda.

"I don't know if [former U.S. President Bill Clinton is] gay. But [former U.S. Vice President] Al Gore - total fag.;

Bill Clinton was a very good rapist;

Canadians] better hope the United States does not roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent.;

The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy.;

There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle.;

They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors. "

And that's the tip of the iceberg from this font of conservative political wisdom.

She's almost as bad as Maureen Dowd.

But surely you see that her sophistication is lacking. Her arguments vacant. Her wit sophmoric. At best, she's a failed standup comedian.

Make no mistake, I wasn't defending Coulter. But to say that she is 100% wrong (or that all the Republican pundits are 100% wrong) isn't a sensible thing to say. It's very difficult to find a person (or a group) that is wrong all the time. So when you make such a claim, it makes you look bad.

Geez, I must really be worn down. Yet another post with nary a curse word or a derogatory remark. Man, I really need my vacation...

Can't we agree that in most decisions both Democrats and Republicans aren't even in the same ballpark of the right course of action?

I believe this, and it makes sense of all the partisan mud slinging and nay saying. It is easy to argue nonstop when both sides are full of shit.

We were talking about political pundits, but, like I've said time and again, the Republicans and Democrats are two factions of the same group using the same underhanded tools. It's just that the Republicans seem to be doing a better job of it right now.
