Olbermann: Without ‘Fascistic Hatred,’ Malkin Is Just a ‘Mashed-Up Bag of Meat with Lipstick’
On Tuesday’s Countdown show, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann spewed bile at conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, accusing her of possessing "fascistic hatred," and comparing her to a "mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it." During his show’s regular "Worst Person" segment, Olbermann attacked Malkin for her role in bringing attention to the recent controversy over school children in New Jersey singing a song about President Obama.
He's so full of hatred for Michelle that he's completely incoherent. I can't get worked up over such an obvious idiot.
ReplyDeleteOlberdolt is full of hatred about pretty much everything. I even mute the sound when he talking on NBC football.
ReplyDeleteDid turn ever say he can't stand Olbermann? Well it bears repeating, turn can't stand Olbermann.
ReplyDeleteOlbermann really and I mean really turns my stomach. So much so it induces a bowl movement!
ReplyDelete\\
and those are backward sarcs
He's kind of like this in general - but it just strikes me that I've seen comments like this before, coming from people on the left (not just Olbermann).
ReplyDeleteWhere's the "love"? Where's the "hope"? The "change"?
Am I missing similarly vulgar remarks from pundits on the right? Maybe I'm just not listening to the people who get down to this level.
Screw Olberman, I'm after Rick "Dirty" Sanchez today.
ReplyDeleteOlberdouche has always been an uberdouche, and Michelle Malkin outwits him in her sleep.
I am not really sure who watches "Meltdown" with Keith Olbermann or "Screwball" with Chris Matthews, other than Newsbusters. I appreciate their work in watching this crap so I don't have to.
ReplyDeleteI surely hope the left will call him out for the misogynistic subtext here.
ReplyDeleteCOUGH.

ReplyDeleteThe Further Adventures of Running Bare in Seattle, this is what I learned today:
ReplyDelete1. It is apparently a city ordinance that you cannot sit on public sidewalks in commercial districts between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m... even if it is to have a smoke out of the rain while blogging on the internetweb thingy.
2. When the cops here think you are homeless, they are a lot friendlier than if they don't think you are...
3. Deja Vu, the strip club chain, has 100s of beautiful women, and three ugly ones. Apparently, the three ugly ones just showed up for work, if what I saw walking into the place is any indication...
4. Harry Fruit's Diving Company has a great deal on lessons in the lake right now...
5. There is a store that is exclusively nothing but chainsaws. That's all kinds of awesome...
6. The ACT Theater, down the street from the Seattle Art Museum (who is having a Michealangelo exhibit) and Benaroya Hall, is proud to present "Puppetry of the Penis". That gives me some good ideas for later, Punch and Judy style...
7. Reading the local homeless-produced newspaper, I've learned that they are all happy, well-adjusted indivisuals who just happened to have caught some bad breaks, and drug and alcohol addiction, or mental issues, have nothng to do with it whatsoever. And their comic strips suck ass.
8. Didn't see anyone get beat up today - yet. Maybe the regularly-scheduled beatings got cancelled on account of rain.
9. Ooh, look! A soviet submarine! Seattle has it's own navy!
10. The bathroom door key code for the Starbucks at 1st and Pike is 88552.
Half an hour left... what to do. Hmmm...

Kim il Sung of North Korea. Saddam had children sing songs to him, as does Qadaffi. Ceausescu of Romania loved the little children to sing his praises.

Fox News shut-out by White House
ReplyDeletegetting flak also from liberals:
"The White House’s recent frontal assault on Fox News network is drawing criticism from some unexpected sources, including members of the left-leaning media.
“Cutting off a media outlet can be a risky strategy. It can reduce the voice and effectiveness of a politician or a party,” Doug Heye, a blogger for U.S. News and World Report, wrote today.
“It’s not likely to work, however. The far-left may love potshots at O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, but it loves a healthcare public option, card check, and closing Gitmo even more,” Heye added of the White House campaign.
David Zurawik, a media critic for the Baltimore Sun is usually harshly critical of Fox News Channel. But Zurawik blasted the White House campaign as “dangerous to press freedom, and it should concern everyone in the press, not just Fox.”
He slammed White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, who has led the charge against America’s top-rated cable news network, as “sounding so uninformed and blatantly biased.”
“Dunn is absolutely wrong about Fox’s coverage of the election last fall. I did watch it every day and wrote about it several times a week for this blog. And while I didn’t like a lot of what I saw with soft interviews and only favorable coverage of Sarah Palin, it wasn’t all about Bill Ayers and ACORN by a long shot,” added Zurawik.
Writing at the Atlantic website, Derek Thompson sniped the White House “looks petty and pathetic” taking on Fox News.
On CNN, the network’s senior political analyst David Gergen called the White House attacks “a risky strategy, and it’s not one that I would advocate.”
The White House attacks started last month, when President Obama seemed to have deliberately left Fox News out of the rounds of Sunday shows he had visited to push his health care reform plan.
Also last month, the White House blog criticized Fox’s “disregard for the facts,” and “an attempt to smear the Administration’s efforts to win the Olympics for the United States.” The government site linked to a separate webpage that claimed to document “more Fox lies.”
Then Dunn went on CNN to claim that Fox News “operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”
Continued Dunn: “And it’s not ideological. Obviously, there are many commentators who have conservative, liberal, centrist, and everybody understands that. But I think what is fair to say about FOX and certainly the way we view it is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party.”
In an intererview published yesterday, Dunn told the NY Times of Fox News: “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent.
“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organisations behave,” she said.
Days earlier, in an interview with Time Magazine, Dunn slammed Fox as “opinion journalism masquerading as news.”
“They are boosting their audience. But that doesn’t mean we are going to sit back,” she said.
Fox News for its part doesn’t seem to mind the White House attacks.
Bill Shine, Fox’s senior vice president for programming, Bill Shine, said of the White House campaign against his network, “Every time they do it, our ratings go up.”"

ReplyDeleteBarack "Kim" Obama: A Soviet mole?
No, I don't think so.
But he is a red diaper doper baby. Way back when I dug up stuff on Stanley Ann Dunham, BHO's mom. She was radically, radically left. When to the "Little Red Church" in Bellevue WA, hung out in "Anarchists' Alley" with radical lefty teachers. He relationship with Barack senior was part of proving her radical creds, walking the walk so to speak. I dug up her thesis and it's just leftist clap-trap.
She allowed the mentoring by Davis of little Barack Jr.
The teaching took hold, his whole life he has sought out radical Marxist leftist.
It's not so much as BHO was a plan. The radical left has launched millions of Red Diaper Doper Babies into society. They've taken hold in academia, in the leftist churches, in education.
The dream for them was to get one in the WH.

'And then you have secondary boycotts (i.e., boycotts of those who don't boycott Israel), tertiary boycotts,...
History occurs twice: this "secondary boycott" as tragedy, another "secondary boycott" as farce.'
Exactly. Luckily there are sites that I have seen that have lists of Israeli products are listed in order to know where they are sold in order to spit on the boycotts.
Amazing, isn't it, how one tiny democracy in the midst of so many dictatorships gets spit on so often, and not just by the arabs, sadly.

ReplyDeleteBatGuano! Hi and welcome.
ReplyDeleteJames Taranto in today's Best of the Web:
ReplyDelete"A reader passes along this February 2008 Der Spiegel interview with Henry Kissinger, who won a Nobel Peace Prize back when that award arguably still meant something. On the second page we find this exchange:
Spiegel: Isn't German and European opposition to a greater military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq also a result of deep distrust of American power?
Kissinger: By this time next year, we will see the beginning of a new administration. We will then discover to what extent the Bush administration was the cause or the alibi for European-American disagreements. Right now, many Europeans hide behind the unpopularity of President Bush.
Kissinger was quite right, with one qualification. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee demonstrated last week, Europeans are still hiding behind the unpopularity of President Bush. We argued on Monday that this would not have been the case if John McCain or Hillary Clinton had been elected president. In this regard at least, America elected the only candidate capable of extending, rather than breaking from, the Bush legacy."

ReplyDeleteNot only are there so many leftists in Obama's life, but he also has attached himself to a series of older angry male father figures: Frank Marshal, Rev. Wright & Bill Ayers. This curious fact is a significant marker to his emerging Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Kenneth, I find his hunger for a father figure one of the few things I empathize with. And that each of his chosen models is angry says a great deal about how sad Obama is.

ReplyDeleteKenneth, I find his hunger for a father figure one of the few things I empathize with. And that each of his chosen models is angry says a great deal about how sad Obama is.
I wonder if that's not something that strikes a chord with a large number of his supporters, especially the young. The vast majority of lefties I've come across either have an absent father or do not have a good relationship with their father. As more and more men have abdicated their responsibilities in the last 30 or 40 years, you've got a rising proportion of young people who are fatherless. Feminists have marginalized fathers and convinced too many men and women that dads don't matter, but they do, and fatherlessness has real effects on children and on society at large.
Dianna said...
ReplyDeleteHe might help himself just a little if he were a touch less bombastic, though.
That's always been his style. People who have listened to him for a long time get it and people who start listening in earnest get it quickly. I've never been able to listen to him often because he is on during work hours. But I have caught his show in bits and pieces for almost 20 years now.
The folks stirring up trouble and trying to demonize and discredit him now are doing so on purpose and either cherry picking fragments for their use or, now apparently, out and out lying.
Thanks, CC. I've got to drag myself away from the web for awhile but I'll take a look.
ReplyDeleteDianna, I'm a pretty regular listener - I must just not see it, somehow. Could you please give me an example of the bombast? I don't hear it, but maybe I'm just deaf to it.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe he's a racist at all (a black man I know is a close friend of his - anecdotal, I know, but the left had to fabricate quotes to pin this on him), and as I understand it, that's the issue, more than his "bombastic" style.
Doppel, I don't think there's anyone who doesn't understand at least a little of that ache, no matter how well our fathers performed their roles.
ReplyDeleteAs to your wider point, since I'm neither a sociologist nor a psychologist (and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), I'll say that it sounds right to me.
One more thought: Speaking of bombast - what about Olbermann? Talk about bombastic. Should he be denied the purchase of a sports franchise?
ReplyDeleteWe can throw out the fabricated racist quotes - so what's left to object to Rush over?
CC, He will pronounce on things about which he admits to knowing very little.
ReplyDeleteTake his rant about the swine flu vaccine, which led to him using a sound bite with some "expert" saying that the preservative has been claimed to have a link to autism (which we know is bunk). Then Rush (in a classic case of not knowing when to stop), added at the end of "it might not work, it might give you a case of the flue any way, and it won't protect you from the normal flu" that it might give you autism, too. And there the segment ended.
You can't say that (even if he was trying to be entertaining) was a smart thing; and he never has bothered to dig that one out. Thus, bombast.
No, I don't believe RL is a racist.
CC, I've never actually seen Olberman, or heard him, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteJust clips.
Leftists often accuse those concerned with illegal immigration of being motivated by "anti-Hispanic raaaaacism" (strictly speaking: "bigotry", since Hispanics are not a race but defined by cultural heritage).
ReplyDeleteHere is case in point that the PC left has no problem scr*wing over Latinos when they are not convenient "mascots".
Dianna: Olbermann would be worth a look, just for entertainment value alone. He's a nut.
ReplyDeleteI guess I misunderstood you and I probably need to look up the meaning of "bombast". In my head, it meant blustering, loud - that sort of thing.
I know he's occasionally incorrect; all people are. I just thought it meant something else.
Would we agree that a "bombastic" person should still have an opportunity to purchase an NFL franchise?
Dopple,
ReplyDeleteAnd the federal government had a big hand in creating this situation with AFDC - Aid For Dependent Children, which (along with other welfare programs) made it economically feasible for young women to drop out of school, have a baby, and then receive an income that allowed them to have an apartment and a minimal standard of living - without having to work. Now we have a whole smorgasbord of programs that make it possible to live without working. That is who ACORN is signing up and getting to the polls. The welfare mentality has became ingrained into certain segments of the population. The children and grandchildren of the AFDC mothers have become a voting bloc for the Democrat party. And I'm not just talking about the black community, although the statistics indicate that it is worse there than in other areas, but there are a lot of urban and rural white poor who are in the same situation, and Hispanics.
Incidentally, AFDC, a New Deal program, was originally started to benefit widows with children. What we have now is a prime example of the law of unintended consequences.
Oh, and I forgot to say: JCM has a healthcare piece up right now, upstairs.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave this one open for a while though - some interesting stuff going on in this thread.
Chuck Knoblauch hit Olberboys mom with a baseball.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked later, he was heard to say "Right idea,wrong Olbermann".
OK,I made that quote up. Felt good typing it though.
Finally Free: Thanks for that link. I did not know Paul Rodriguez was one of the good guys. I am not nuts about him tacking "Latino" onto the name of his group, but he's absolutely right - environmentalists care more about a frakkin' fish than they do about human beings.
ReplyDeleteCC, if Rush wants to be part of a consortium to buy a team, he should be able to do so. So far as I'm aware, he's not a gambler, or doing anything else that would be a problem for an owner.
ReplyDeleteLOL Squatch!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Dianna. In any case, any reasonable person would object to fabricated quotes being used to make a case against someone like this. It's outrageous, really, and what's worse is it looks like it's working.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE to this story, BTW:
ReplyDeleteMichelle Malkin: The 'M' in MSNBC stands for misogyny.
There's a link to past transgressions by MSNBC on her site.
Dianna--I don't follow football, don't give a rat's ass about it. But I can't see how a dog torturer like Michael Vick is considered kosher and someone who merely wishes to own a property--a team--is not, solely on the grounds that he may have a fat mouth.
ReplyDeleteExactly, buzz.
ReplyDeleteI surely hope the NFL doesn't cave to a bunch of whining Rush critics, particularly when the most high profile of them happens to be openly anti-Semitic.
