This Is Getting Ugly: Olbermann Says Scott Brown Is A Homophobic, Racist Teabagger (VIDEO)
Video: Keith Olbermann on Massachusetts GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown -- Jan. 18
- “In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex nude model, teabagging, supporter of violence against women, and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history this man would have been laughed off the stage, as an unqualified, and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”

I've lived in Mass off and on for over 12 years, now, and I think Coakley has always had some kind of govt. job or other in Boston. She's worse than an incumbent. She's like bad plumbing -- been there forever, can't be fixed. Better to just rip it out and start fresh.
I hope Brown wins, but Scott Brown is not going to breathe new life into anything, least of all the Constitution. He's nothing more than a country-club Republican who voted for the disastrous Romney-care program in Mass. Moreover, check out his idiotic stance on the bank tax -- he talks as if the banks just took out a little loan, dutifully paid it back, and are now being picked on by socialistic Democrats. As if.
By all means, root for a Coakley loss and a finger in Obama's eye, but I hope we will be tarring and feathering Scott Brown this time next year.

This vicious vent from him exposes the true person he is!
It's okay to have an opinion as a media frontman, but unabashed personal bashing is not professional - get off the air!
The evolution from theocracy to secularism in America was a very long process in America which finally resulted in the United States Constitution and the wall it erected between church and state.
Our real assurance that this wall will never disappear, is the extreme religious pluralism in America. Conservative Jews, Muslims and Christians such as Catholics and Mormons, would love to see the return of theocracy to America, their OWN theocracy. Lucky for us, each theocracy is hostile to all the others and so they cancel each other out.
20th century Liberalism developed in the 19th century from the same Puritanism, and produced the anti-slavery movement, the right of women to vote, prohibition and the Civil Rights movement.
After World War II, liberalism was refined by theologians such as Paul Tillich, Karl Barth and Bishop Pike but the political radicalism of the 1960's rejected Liberalism as at best irrelevant and at worst an embarrassment to enlightened thought.
Theologians have gone underground but they are still active as Liberals.
Cardinal Spellman, Reinhold Niebuhr and many other religious thinkers became reactionary conservatives in the same manner as the apparently orthodox Jewish talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
It seems clear that conservative theocracy can never become dominant in America again but Liberalism is more insidious because it is a disguised, hypocritical form of (secularized) religion that tries to persuade, not with reason and facts but, just as other religions to, by repetition of slogans and formulas and by labeling dissenters as heretics:
"homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex nude model, teabagging, supporter of violence against women" ...
Liberals do not think, but push politically correct agendas decided on by various theological authorities, who pontificate from (in the case of Liberalism) universities, liberal religious organizations and think tanks.
It's clear that we need to create a discourse that is free from the distortions of our superstitious, doctrinaire past. The Internet is one of our great hopes.
The 1960's were loud and raucous but the Internet revolution taking place today is more profound and significant.
Don't allow the dinosaur, mainstream media, to dominate your thought and perceptions. You are creating a new world. Succeed in it. Kieth Olbermann is successful in the old one.
I hope Brown wins, but Scott Brown is not going to breathe new life into anything, least of all the Constitution. He's nothing more than a country-club Republican who voted for the disastrous Romney-care program in Mass. Moreover, check out his idiotic stance on the bank tax -- he talks as if the banks just took out a little loan, dutifully paid it back, and are now being picked on by socialistic Democrats. As if.

The Boston Globe reported the final results of the election at 12:45 P.M.
I'm not making this up:

A libertarian Democrat is a person who generally supports and upholds a libertarian philosophy while being a member of the Democratic Party of the United States,[1][2][3] and may be referred to as a "libertarian progressive" or "classical liberal." The opinions of libertarian Democrats may differ on some issues from those of members of the Libertarian Party of the United States.
you don't think it's obvious that i support scott brown in this race...
i posted the olbermann clip because it was complete b.s....and i wanted others to see it....not because i support olbermann's views...
read this carefully...
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/business/09paulson.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=business
It was in impressive post you made...i think you would find that most of us here believe ALL POLITICIANS lie...regardless of party affiliation...we tend to be a skeptical group by nature...
Have you looked into olbermann's family's background?
-------------
what do you have?
------------
he is blinded by love for martha coakley...?
DB says…you don't think it's obvious that i support scott brown in this race...
Gobias says…I am always one step ahead of you because I know what you are and what you stand for. The idea that you posted this to make fun of a complete leftist idiot like Olbermann is ludicrous. DB, in order for anyone to think you were even slightly making fun of Olbermann’s idiocy, you first have to show a track record of not always supporting the left. Do you think I buy that you posted the video of Sarah Palin as a newscaster because you thought she did a good job. You might be so deluded by the left and its message that even when they hand you shit, you think it is strawberry ice cream. DB, come out of the closet. Is that the first time you have heard that? Sorry, bad joke.
DB says…i posted the olbermann clip because it was complete b.s....and i wanted others to see it....not because i support olbermann's views...
Gobias says…Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, that is my detector going off. U of V really did a number on you. Was it watching all your lib buddies beating the honor code to a pulp that made you so cynical and obvious?
You have the nerve to show me a NYT article. What did John McEnroe say, oh right, YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS! Published August 2009 (revising history for the left) by Gretchen Mortgenson. Wow, to think that Gretchen is going to continue to bash Bush and pin this on Paulson. Gretchen must have gotten the talking points memo from Rahm. Gretchen has been writing Bush bashing articles since the dawn of time. DB, you would have a thing for her. The only reason that the media is looking back still is because they can’t stand to report on what’s happening now. Obama is a miserable failure. They don’t know what to do. They know that the shit is hitting the fan.
DB, I know what you are, where you stand, what you find funny, and even where you came from. When you post crap, I am going to call you on it. The Olbermann clip, my guess, any Obermann clip is going to be crap. This one was just sad and pathetic. Olbermann is being a dick and a crybaby but it is definitely not on purpose. You know that, he is having a liberal meltdown. Maybe that is too close to home for you and you don’t recognize it. I do enjoy watching the meltdowns, the fact that they are happening so soon is thrilling. We may be done with Barry sooner than even I imagined.
DB, don’t try to sell ice to an Eskimo. If you want to pander to your devotees, great job. I thought you wanted more than that, apparently you don’t.
in fact you are close to delusional...
i'll respond later after i eat...
i am a fiscal conservative who could care less about anything less...if that makes me a leftist in your book so be it....i'm tired of arguing with you...
no one thinks of bush when paulson is mentioned except you...and gretchen morgenson was writing about aig and paulson's role in the decisions...
she wasn't writing about bush...i don't read political articles as you do...politics is a waste of time...but you are obsessed with all the machinations...
you don't see what is obvious to the rest of us...namely that republicans and democrats are exactly the same and both worthless...get a fucking clue...
the rest of us aren't so politically indoctrinated...
bernanke, bush, paulson, mccain, obama, rubin, geithner, friedman, pelosi, reid.,...they are all the same to me..corrupt scumbags..no party affiliation in my mind...
and one last thought, since you think you know the motives behind my every post, if i'm a liberal as you imagine, why do i use every opportunity to destroy nancy pelosi...
several times i put up the cartoon of her smoking weed...i put the hilarious song up earlier in the week where she is annihilated...how does this fit into your delusion about knowing all my motives...i can't stand fiscal spending liberals..i can't stand fiscally liberal republicans...
i want real change...i think the fed gov't should shrink by 50%...how in the hell could any of these beliefs make me a leftist?...
the only answer i can come up with is that you have a serious personality disorder...
i'll ask for the umpteenth time, wtf is your problem?
it's gotten to the point where i would prefer you leave this site...i will ban your IP if you continue wasting my time with these bullshit attacks...
i want 1 question answered...you support giuliani who is a free spending republican war monger...
i supprot ron paul who would shrink the fed gov't by 50% and end all the wars..
how in the f*ck does that make me a left-leaning liberal...?
U of V really did a number on you. Was it watching all your lib buddies beating the honor code to a pulp that made you so cynical and obvious?

UVa is a conservative college campus...at least when i attended...i've never heard UVa called a liberal bastion...young republican dominated young democrats 3:1 in campus groups when i was there...
lastly i graduated from uva...u of v is the university of vermont...you have made this mistake repeatedly...
Can you guess which one is my favorite?
I am never confused Gobias, I run a tight OODA loop, and you are simpler than you imagine. Something you and Ken have trouble understanding. Where is Ken anyway, you did not pull a Che Guevera on him to be El Generalisimo Supremo did you?
The Left will love you to death, in my world you are nothing more than meat. There are many fine people coming here seeking answers, you are not one of them.
Hank Paulson is a Republicrat, so in Gobias world, that makes him pure of virtue.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Paulson
“Anyone have any theories why Gobby can't calibrate his BS Detector?”
Gobias has freely stated he supports;
Cross dressers (by virtue of Rudy support)
Hookers on their backs (exploitation thing)
“responsible weapon laws” (gun banner by virtue of Rudy support)
Pro choice “so you could talk women out of abortion” (by virtue of Rudy support)
Marrying your relatives (by virtue of Rudy support)
Adulterers (by virtue of Rudy support)
Same sex marriage (by virtue of Rudy support)
Fiscal irresponsibility, as long as it is Republicrat by pure virtue
I researched these parameters carefully as Gobias half heartedly attempted to with DB, based on his own thought process and parameters, deciphered in his previously posts. I came up with this;

I hope I am wrong using your own investigative process Gobias, I would hate to think you are that much left of me. But hey, it is your life, and I will understand, just stay away from my chickens…

Did I meet you in a bar in Fairbanks Alaska when you were asking two Eskimo’s what it took to be a Eskimo?
Boston Globe claims: "For a few minutes earlier today, we inadvertently published an AP test of an election data feed on this Web page. We regret the mishap."
What the hell is "an AP test of an election data feed"? Seriously. Somebody's got some 'splainin' to do. Maybe there's a legitimate answer, but who even knows what "an AP test of an election data feed" is?

damn and i knew that...gob had me so pissed off...
Hey, save it for Friedman and Geithner ;-) Their special day is coming up.
Think about this; Vote-them-all-out got a victory of sorts. Granted, it wasn't an incumbent, but then again, wasn't it?
How, on a day when we are witnessing a historic shift in the landscape, can this be happening? Don't take his bait, he/she is an idiot.
Beer, dude. Beer and lots of it!!!!
i'll give you a pass because i'm in such a good mood....but i can venture that you have spent little time around here and likely none in our discussions...
i'll let you in on a little secret...though we are not great in number, the regulars here are the smartest group you will find anywhere on the vast interweb...
we do have answers...we offer them every day...you just haven't been here listening...
and you probably don't know this either, but just about everyone here is an independent...fed up with both parties...
you want to know how we feel about things in a nutshell...stop the stimulus, stop the bailouts, stop the deficit spending...and stop the wars...
i think i can safely say that we all believe in limited government and fiscal discipline...just about everyone of us is a libertarian...
but we accept any and all who might share our goals on any of these issues...
BTW, Olberman just sucks. Everything about his pathetic, downward spiraling life and career just suck. Screw him.
-----------------
and to think that you and i together witnessed the launch of his espn career, and were mesmerized literally, by his writing style and overall approach to sports journalism...
to see him become so often a mouthpiece for bullshit, honestly sucks...because 18 years ago or so he changed sports broadcasting forever...and we both know it...

You make a great point. I only disagree on one point; there is an awful lot of intelligence on this site, backed by an incredible amount of research and data, (with the exception of gobias who is genuinely stupid.)
But you are right, if this is where it ends, then it is all a waste of time. It doesn't have to end here. Join the cause, vote them all out. Run for office, you might find support right here. Be public, make them listen.
But don't be afraid to start here. Jump on in, the water is fine.

No argument here. Except, was it really 18 years ago? Don't remind me.
i've hated teddy kennedy since i was 17 and read about Chappaquiddick for the first time ...

you're an over-sensitive bitch sometimes gobias...can't stand to see anyone you admire made fun of...that's a sign of insecurity...
I'm anti-censorship, but in Gobby's case, I'll make an execption.
Good Riddance!
