Proving that he has more honesty and integrity than all the FOXNews anchors combined, Keith awards himself the bronze for giving out erroneous information on an earlier broadcast by saying that 1 in 4 veterans are homeless instead of 1 in 4 homeless are veterans. Still too many, no matter what the number.
The silver goes to Media Research Center's Brent Bozell for saying that the reason the new Redford film "Lions for Lambs" is doing poorly because no one wants to see Redford insulting the troops, when 1) he doesn't insult the troops and 2) it's doing poorly because it hasn't received good reviews.
And the gold goes to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI11) for issuing a scathing op-ed in the National Review against a Catholic charity because they took issue with his stances on SCHIP, calling them the "devil." Really, Thad, is that WWJD?
frist?? and will billo be all over this one, how the lying libs at MSNBC twist facts to fit their fantasy?
Billo, the man who ruined eating falafels for a generation... or 3.
Olbermann so nailed McCotter. :lol:
Last night I watched the Nova program on Dover's evolution litigation. You remember, the one where members of the school board tried to push creationism (or its less obvious pseudonym, Intelligent Design) on the school district. It was amazing to watch these people try to lie and cheat their way into the school curriculum. When they asked one of the former board members about how he felt about the judge's decision he had some pretty nasty words for the judge--for a man who lied under oath, convinced his church to donate religious books to the school and tried to shove his religion down the Dover community's throat, he sure cast some pretty brassy stones at the judge.
No wonder people think Christianity is a crock. They do spiritually minded people a real disservice by claiming to represent Christ. Funny how the religious right-wing has indeed turned into a bunch of ideological Pharisees.
KO has a way of showing the Dark Age mentality of the right wing. He nailed McCotter. Only thing is, McCotter's constituency will be confused as to who is "The Devil". Maybe they'll even burn McCotter at the stake to play it safe...
Thaddeus creeps me out man.
Listen to him talk, he is one strange man.
Otay @ 5:
I know has Corporate giant General Electric really gone left wing?
Who'd a thunk it!
Keith is a man of real integrity. You would never catch O'Reilly apologizing for making a mistake.
Otay @ 8:
The only question that haunts me is are we as much suckers in our own way as those who watch fox?
L.A. Confidential @ 9:
How so?
L.A. Confidential @ 9:
No.
LiberalTarian @ 4:
I watched this too. And the presiding judge was a Republican that was appointed by George of the Bungle.
You are right, it was amazing to see how these boastful, arrogant schmucks thought they would pull one over on the school by rebranding their creationism as "intelligent design" and left a clear paper trail of their true intentions. And they were also arrogant enough to assert that their "science" should be accepted as valid without empirical proof because we say it is so, therefore it is the absolute truth which trumps all other viewpoints.
And then there was the death threats the judge received from these so called "Christians." What is the difference beterrn these foamy lipped charlatans and the Taliban?
Nothing.
Calling a Catholic group "the devil". Get Bill Donahue over here quick before more anti-catholicism takes place! Nevermind, he is probally too busy complaining about Louis CK and South Park.
Otay @ 10:
I give up and cry uncle.
How so?
But, but, but, O'reilly has super duper mega duper superest ratings.
I'm sick of all the wingnut welfare segments Bozell's getting on Faux lately
Is it really 1 in four? Oh, man... I always cry when I hear about the homeless. It's such sad state of affairs for these poor people, but it never stops. I was in Washington DC, and what I remember most was not the fun, or the monuments, or anything like that. I remember the veterans BEGGING FOR FOOD.
This really has to stop, and right now. I'm sorry if I'm off topic a bit, but it's a really sad issue for me.
oh so there going back to attacking the catholics again....this asshat showed his true colors.That was GOOD CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOR.........this is one of the reasons I walk away from religion.I have quite a few more.The only reason guys like him and all the others who go on tv and spout off about religion is for the money.It's a racket...
Thanks for posting this guys!
I always love these Keith clips! It's convinced me (if I ever get TV again) to get MSNBC...
Holy crap, from McCotter's home page:
“No good government denies god’s presence”

Man, as if Michigan didn't have enough problems.
Why is it that Christian theology assumes that logical reasoning and thinking are associated with Satan? - When you pray, pray smart, and don't shove your beliefs down another's throat!
As a proud Michiganian, let me say that McCotter, (like all of Michigan's embarrassing GOP House-idiots), is there because of one reason and one reason only-GERRYMANDERING!
Please don't hold it against the rest of us wolverines. After all, the people did the right thing in 06'. Even though the GOP only got 42.7% of the popular vote, the repukes won 60% of our House seats, including this imbecile McCotter.
After the next census (2010), the Michigan repukes should lose at least 3 - 4 House seats through redistricting.
"Thad" is my Congresscritter, sadly. He also went to high school with my brother in law, and was well known as a tweaky, weird little character with overtly racist views. It was Livonia, after all, and he was just being the way scared little Livonia trash tends to be when challenged by anyone with albedo lower than snow or who has the temerity to think they got the "born" thing right the first time and don't need to do it "again".
Otay @ 8:
Correction ... NEVER
LiberalTarian @ 4:
Never ONCE was there the suggestion that if the government NEVER dictates what is taught in churches, yet seculars want a hand in what is taught in public schools. I was waiting for that in this piece. Well done, fair, and informative though.
I was wondering if he would ever make a 'mistake' on the air... but now that he did.. he fully admitted it. That's why I trust KO, though at first I watch him because I basically agree with his view, which are usually proven with examples and outside facts
With the president being as unpopular as he is now.. and him 'attacking the president' .. i think he'll be the top news anchor... not because he's attacking the president or against the falsehood of some of the right. But for the fact he's one of the 'only ones' doing it.
Some, with the exception of fox, remain distant from politics and just stick to a story.. KO distant from stories and stick with the logic of it.
The silver goes to Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell for saying that the reason the new Redford film “Lions for Lambs” is doing poorly because no one wants to see Redford insulting the troops, when 1) he doesn’t insult the troops and 2) it’s doing poorly because it hasn’t received good reviews.
Then C&L linked Rotten Tomatos -
Who's your daddy, Rotten Tomatos?
"In 2004, the website IGN Entertainment acquired Rottentomatoes.com. In September 2005, IGN was bought out by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp."
There is one more possible reason the new Redford film “Lions for Lambs” is doing poorly; the movie stinks.
I'm sad to say this guy is my representative in the house. I have met him twice both outside polling locations. I asked him why he still supports the Iraq war and on queue he spouted the right wing talking points like a good little troll He is a tiny fraction of a man who has only a passing acquaintance with the truth – but the next time I see him I can say I saw you on Keith Olberman as the “Worst Person In The World" oh Yeah!!
jxn @ 24:
He my Congresscritter as well - very sad...
Hehehe! Olbie-wann is the man. =)
