Audio: Tinpot demagogue jokes about knifing O’Reilly in the hamstring

OlbyWatch has it. Between Johnny Dollar’s comments, Robert Cox’s open letter, the boss’s latest, and today’s Vent, there isn’t much left to say. Except this: Olby’s apology reminds me a lot of the L.A. Times bringing the hammer down on Michael Hiltzik for sock puppetry insofar as it uses contrition for a lesser sin as cover for a greater one. Patterico explained it this way:

So Cathy Seipp says that L.A. Times editors are searching Hiltzik’s work for past evidence of dishonesty…

Dishonest? You bet — in the same way that Hiltzik has been intellectually dishonest in many of his debates with me. But somehow I don’t think that’s what Times editors are looking for. If they find a third pseudonym — if he posted comments somewhere as “Mikeysushi” — well, under The Times’s odd standards, that could end his career. But “improving” the facts to suit a liberal agenda? Standard operating procedure!

Precisely. They made a showy example of minor misconduct so that they wouldn’t have to address the big problem, just like Olby did yesterday. Moron though he be, he can’t seriously believe that an obvious joke about attacking Bill O’Reilly is more likely to incite violence than his nightly hysteria about creeping fascism — occasionally replete with Nazi newsreel footage — for the benefit of a nutroots audience that’s even more excitable than he is. He’s lucky, in a sense, that his viewership is so tiny: the bigger it gets, the greater the chance that his logic in holding commentators accountable for what their craziest fans do is going to rebound on him in a big way.

Just something to reflect upon as we await the next outbreak of right-wing hate.

Update: Even (some) liberals think OlbyWatch has the better of the argument.

Can someone tell me why freedom of speech is only good for THEM?

seejanemom on November 17, 2006 at 2:36 PM

Does anyone know the offical Nielsen numbers for Meltdown vs. the other cable news shows, specifically the Factor?

I caught a bit on Olbermann’s show a few nights ago where he was saying that between 8:45 and 9:00pm for the male age 27 to 54 demographic (or some such crap) that he was beating O’Reilly.

Or maybe it was in the one-eyed retard lesbo demographic, ages 56 to 57. Something like that.

Rosetta on November 17, 2006 at 2:39 PM

Why do we even give this moron the time of day.

MikeyB on November 17, 2006 at 2:40 PM

Can someone tell me why freedom of speech is only good for THEM?

The part where you attempted to justify the Southern position of the civil war on your blog is where I stopped paying attention to your opinion. And you fanatics accuse liberals of being “anti-American” or “unpatriotic”?

As for Olbermann, good. I hope he continues to do his patriotic duty: annoy right-wing fanatics who hate the fact that there is an open liberal still left in the cable media.

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 2:42 PM

I agree with MikeyB, we should not waste time with this garbage

Ropera on November 17, 2006 at 2:42 PM

HOLY CRAP are you hysterical. He was joking that he’d have to do so to beat O’Reilly on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, not an obvious joke at all.

Slow extreme-right news day?

Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 2:44 PM

Yeah, not an obvious joke at all.

Let me quote from the post:

Moron though he be, he can’t seriously believe that an obvious joke about attacking Bill O’Reilly is more likely to incite violence than his nightly hysteria about creeping fascism

Yes, he was clearly joking. Had Ann Coulter made the same joke, would she be tonight’s “worst person in the world”? Yes. Would Olby have included it as “evidence” of the right allegedly inciting its members to violence? Yes. Would you be criticizing Olby for blowing an obvious joke hugely out of proportion? No.

Allahpundit on November 17, 2006 at 2:47 PM

I guess if you make a bad joke, Al a Kerry, and then apologize for it immediately, it’s ok.

Does that mean that if I say; “I love to club Keith in the head with a Louisville Slugger reinforced clue-bat” and say; “I’m sorry, that was a joke”, that I’m forgiven?

I didn’t think so…

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on November 17, 2006 at 2:47 PM

Keith Olbermann is one sick human being. His outrageous attack on Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter the other night was equivalent to an attack on our family from my point of view. We also have stopped listening to the excellent ESPN radio ‘Dan Patrick Show’ until Olbermann is removed from the show.

olympian2008 on November 17, 2006 at 2:48 PM

Olby should be on the show “dancing with the loons”

he is in lockstep with their hate two step (or is it two face ?)

William Amos on November 17, 2006 at 2:50 PM

Olbermann isn’t on sportscenter anymore? That’s the only time he was entertaining.

lorien1973 on November 17, 2006 at 2:50 PM

Keith Olbermann is one sick human being. His outrageous attack on Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter the other night was equivalent to an attack on our family from my point of view.

You consider Malkin, Ingraham and Coulter to be “family”? LoL. Wow, that’s a little weird. You know, last time I checked, Olbermann didn’t mock an entire group of people who were thrown into internment camps.

Olbermann is god damn Saint Patrick next to Malkin.

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 2:51 PM

Olbermann is god damn

I agree with you here Grebock

Olberhamptman is worthy of only contempt

William Amos on November 17, 2006 at 2:52 PM

blockquote>
Who gives a crap what a crackpot like Coulter would do, or what Olby would do in response for that matter? It’s rather hypocritical to use someone else’s hysteria/bad behavior as an excuse for your own. And, don’t presume to tell me what I’d do, and I’ll afford you the same courtesy.

Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 2:54 PM

Olbermann didn’t mock an entire group of people who were thrown into internment camps.

While that may be true, he does consistently give aide and comfort to the enemy by illustrating just how divided America is. He also provides aide by lying his fool head off in order to turn American’s against their own government.

He’s a tool, nothing more. If half of his rhetorical rantings were true, he’d be dead by now. Bush and his minions of neo-cons would of killed him.

Whatever… he’s a self-important deluded fool.

Check mediabistro.com Latest numbers have KO at about 70% (my eyeball math) of OR in the money demo. Believe OR has a much more substantial advantage overall. The trend is towards KO, proving again that the least common denominator works in TV.

However the idea of Olby-Patrick running around screaming “They’re always after my Lucky Charms” makes me laugh.

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 2:59 PM

Nice try, but no. If a Republican was as unhinged as him… like McCain, like would say the same things. And I have about McCain.

Olbermann is the kind of fool who believes an anonymous source over an official report. He’s like the 9/11 for truth nuts, he’ll take whatever minor little contrary fact he can find, no matter how irrelevant or silly, and make it a huge mountain of an issue.

He’s a liar, and he belongs in the side show at the circus.

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on November 17, 2006 at 3:03 PM

Oh yes, I would also like to mention that I have no sympathy whatsoever for Laura Ingraham. The cruel piece of garbage attended gay rights meetings when she was in college so she could take down the names of those that attended and out them pubicly to their parents and friends by printing them in the school newspaper.

Piece of trash.

Sigh. No, the boss hasn’t ordered anything. The “hit,” by which you mean “criticism,” is entirely mine. But it’s delightfully conspiratorial of you to say so.

Check mediabistro.com Latest numbers have KO at about 70% (my eyeball math) of OR in the money demo.

Indeed. He’s just ahead of re-runs of Deal or No Deal.

In the key demo, that is. Overall, he’s actually trailing them.

Allahpundit on November 17, 2006 at 3:09 PM

“If a Republican was as unhinged as him… like McCain, like would say the same things. And I have about McCain.”

This from someone calling him/herself Sniper One, a contributor on a site called 7.62 mm justice. I’m wondering, is it the person with the rifle on the front page?

LOL The old pen knike to the hamstring trick. Nice. Thats the same stratagy Bill Murry used in Caddy Shack. Krazy Keith is starting to upgrade his role models. Mabey theres hope for him yet.

…so, that’s how we turn your brain off, huh….

*THE SOUTH SHALL RIIIIIIIIIISE AGAIN!*

…there…gimme the magic formula for freezing up your fingers and shutting your pie-hole, and we could have a little peace….

You routinely dismiss not only the opinions but the *HUMANITY* of the folks with whom you disagree.

That only goes to prove an old point made by George Will…oh…prolly back before you were born. He said that you disagree with a conservative, he thinks it’s because you’re stupid. If you disagree with a liberal, he thinks it’s because you’re *EVIL*.

…so, the Ladies — *HAIL THE BOSS!*, by the way — are all a bunch of hysterical shrews who can’t take a joke…this coming from a guy who’s evidently more tender about his paper-think dignity than Mother Superior is about her girls virtue.

But, he’s doing his “duty”, his “patriotic duty”, to the Left…he’s annoying the Right. He isn’t informing anyone, and neither, in fact, do you. He’s just annoying. That puts you right up there with the body louse, the flea and the spirochete.

…there…I’ve dissed *YOUR* humanity…you can call me a “hypocrite” now and throw some statistics at my rapidly diminishing backside as I amble off to play with the adults.

Outing people is a political weapon, seemingly used *MORE OFTEN* by the Left and their attendant homosexuals than by folks like Laura.

KO spews in a month the vitriol the OxyMoron (yes I know that’s childish, humor me) does in a day. Which does not excuse him. I liked him (KO) when he was just droll with some political overtones. Now that he has appointed himself the official scold of the left wing he has become what he used to decry. Pity.

honora on November 17, 2006 at 3:23 PM

It still I think comes back to the fact that for some reason Liberals even hold Conservatives to a high ethical standard. If Olbermann says something even as a joke about cutting someone…hahaha…it’s a joke. If say Allah here were to post that someone needs to pull a Screech home video on Olbermann, people (Constantine, Grebrook, et al) would fall over themselves to point out how heartless and hypocritical those on the right are, even if it was a joke, it’s not funny, because the right isn’t supposed to make such jokes….blah blah blah. Doesn’t South Park say something about enjoying the smell of your own fart?

Funny double standard.

Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 3:37 PM

Pelosi gets her butt handed to her

In a leadership fight? This is how far your party has sunk? You can now only gloat over which Democrat is going to rule Congress, as opposed to a Republican handing Pelosi her butt? We crushed you in the election and you’ve been reduced to hedging bets on infighting. Hoyer is more liberal than Murtha anyway. Murtha is pro-life, anti-gay rights, pro-lobbyist. Hoyer is socially liberal and none of those things.

So I don’t quite see why you’re celebrating.

I DO NO SUCH DEFENDING, MOONBAT *SSHA

Yes you did. You claimed the South was fighting for “principles” of “states having the right to decide their own destinies”. Leaving out, of course, the whole, “slavery was the only “states’ right” the South was really concerned about”.

Also, I’m curious. You’re applauding that a town in Nevada banned foreign flags from flying. If they ban the Confederate flag and fine people who try to fly it, how would you feel about that?

Something makes me doubt the people at Hot Air will be giddy about it.

No, how you got that from me ridiculing the Republican poster who attempted to justify the Southern position in the Civil War is beyond me. I don’t quite remember saying black people or “Yankees” could not be Republican. That doesn’t seem to matter, though. Chris Shays is the only Republican left in New England, now.

I must be your worst nightmare. Heterosexual, male, married w/child, live in the south, vet, gun owning, G_d fearing, college educated, full time employed, Caucasian

Reading too much of David Horowitz lately? “Hating Whitey”. Now that was a hillarious books. “HURR LIBERALS HATE STRAIGHTS, WHITE PEOPLE, MEN, CHRISTIANS, SOLDIERS…”

Come on Honora… let’s find a bar… first round is on me.

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on November 17, 2006 at 3:29 PM

You’re on!!!

honora on November 17, 2006 at 3:43 PM

Which would likely get higher ratings in the key demo? A new episode of Countdown or a rerun of Deal or No Deal with one or more unusually attractive female contestants?

That’s a hard one, because normally I’d rather get a broken glass enema than watch Deal or No Deal, but given that choice?

Bring on Howie Mandel!

Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 3:43 PM

Also, I’m curious. You’re applauding that a town in Nevada banned foreign flags from flying. If they ban the Confederate flag and fine people who try to fly it, how would you feel about that?

Something makes me doubt the people at Hot Air will be giddy about it.

THE POINT OF MY POST WAS–BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WANT (to BE ABLE to fly your Mexican Flag), some guy dressed as a BED might fly HIS flag (stars and bars) right up your liberal fanny.

DO YOU GET THAT, MOONBAT??? Or
do I need to type more S L O W L Y ?????

seejanemom on November 17, 2006 at 3:44 PM

Yes you did. You claimed the South was fighting for “principles” of “states having the right to decide their own destinies”. Leaving out, of course, the whole, “slavery was the only “states’ right” the South was really concerned about”.

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 3:38 PM

Well first, Gre… your off topic… **shocker**

Second, it appears you haven’t gotten more than the pre-digested version of history that has been handed to you by the public education system.

There was alot more to the civil war than just the emancipation proclamation. Which didn’t start the war, but came in the middle of it.

Furthermore, no flag, be it Confederate, Mexican, or Moonbat, should be flown about Old’ Glory. That is the way it should be. In that sense, seejanemom is right on the money.

However, I wouldn’t expect someone like you to know about flag protocol or anything like that.

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on November 17, 2006 at 3:44 PM

In honor of honora, our one lefty able to muster an unkind word about Krazy’s appalling demagoguery, I’m going to post the Bush in Vietnam stuff.

Allahpundit on November 17, 2006 at 3:32 PM

Oh what to wear, what to wear.

OxyMoron is Limbaugh–get it? oxycontin (sp?) It’s very disheartening not to have one’s low puns appreciated.

Tell the truth, Greb: if we were in a bar, and a rerun of Deal or No Deal was on, and it was 8 p.m., you wouldn’t ask the bartender to turn on MSNBC.

It’s okay to admit it. I won’t think any ~~less~~ more of you.

Ahhhh. I plead Friday afternoon.

seejanemom

I would like to thank you, though, seejanemom. You reminded me of something. Something Ann Richards once said:

Ann Richards on How to Be a Good Republican:

1. You have to believe that the nation’s current 8-year prosperity was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday’s gasoline prices are all Clinton’s fault.
2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own.
3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time.
4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don’t deserve theirs.
5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun.
6. You have to believe…everything Rush Limbaugh says.
7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor.
8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.
9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn’t diminish your opportunities, but you still won’t vote for Alan Keyes.
10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit.
11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don’t pray to Allah or Buddha.
12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands.
13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio.
14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins.
15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out.
16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton.
17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads.
18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher.

She forgot to add this:

19. You must believe that there was indeed a connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, but that there was no connection between Slavery and the Civil War

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 3:45 PM

Did you just admit to the double standard Constantine, and then use examples of the same people you criticize for doing it as justification. I think my point is proven.

StoutRepublican on November 17, 2006 at 3:47 PM

Everyone’s cranky on Friday afternoon.

Want me to put up a few photos of Bush in Vietnam? We can all come together over that, hm?

I think Allah the problem is we hurt poor little oblermamma’s feelings. They arent set up todeal with the truth about Herr Olbermann and his inability to deal iwth reality.

William Amos on November 17, 2006 at 3:48 PM

Ah, oversimplification.

Catch the fever.

Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 3:48 PM

Olbermann isn’t on sportscenter anymore? Huh, imagine that.

What has he been doing lately? I haven’t seen him.

He isn’t on one of those non-existant cable news shows, is he? Like MSNBC?

shermacman on November 17, 2006 at 3:49 PM

Wow, apparently nothing gets libs’ (with the exception of honora–credit where it’s due) panties in a bunch faster than pointing out the self-evident fact that Keith Olbermann is an utter f—ing douchebag. Seriously, is he the best you guys can come up with? Because there are homeless people ranting to nobody in the street that are more coherent, not to mention foam at the mouth less. And really, his whole penis envy thing with regard to O’reilly is really getting old.

ReubenJCogburn on November 17, 2006 at 3:50 PM

19. You must believe that there was indeed a connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, but that there was no connection between Slavery and the Civil War

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 3:45 PM

Oh your a regular riot. The Jerry Lewis of Hot Air.

Neither Seejanemom, nor I, said that there was no connection between slavery and the civil war. Our contention was that it was not the ONLY factor.

I realize that having more than one factor for something, in your “All Bush’s Fault” world, is a bit much to handle.

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on November 17, 2006 at 3:50 PM

Rather, it’s ok to out them if they’re hypocrites promoting the persecution of gays.

And the seed of thought behind that is: “All true Republicans are homophobes, and the party’s support for anti-gay legal measures proves it; all gay Republicans are hypocrites by default, for supporting the Party of Homophobia.”

mikeomatic on November 17, 2006 at 3:50 PM

Everyone’s cranky on Friday afternoon.

Yes. Yes I am.

My car’s in the body shop thanks to a college student who wasn’t paying attention, it’s raining and miserable here and I can’t finish a project for work because people aren’t getting me the information I need.

On the plus side, though, I am going out for beer later.

Beer may not be the answer, but it sure makes you forget the questions for awhile.

Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 3:51 PM

After we frag the moonbat, that is.

seejanemom on November 17, 2006 at 3:45 PM

Women
Union members

Grebrook

As far as Osama goes…I do believe it because MY MARINE knows a TAD MORE ABOUT THIS THAN YOU DO. I know its above your paygrade, so Ill forgive you this once.

As for the Slavery and Civil War being connected…you are a sad product of pitiful public education, so some remediation might be in order. I have a few ideas on THAT score…

seejanemom on November 17, 2006 at 3:52 PM

Neither Seejanemom, nor I, said that there was no connection between slavery and the civil war.

I don’t know how you got the impression that I was even addressing you.

Grebrook on November 17, 2006 at 3:53 PM

Sniper One, what you have to realize, is that George Bush is in fact the only man responsible for wrongs of the world, even before we was born.

Stock market crash. G.W.
Trail of Tears. G.W.
Blankets to the Native Americans. That one was Rove.
Push of BETA instead of VHS…also G.W. (Right Wing Conspiracy)
Along the same lines. LaserDisc. G.W.
Olbermann’s low rating compared to Fox. G.W.

You are all retarded if you can’t see that G.W. is responsible for everything…always…forever.

StoutRepublican on November 17, 2006 at 3:54 PM

Yeah, I’m sure pal, please tell all of us uneducated Yankees about how the South wasn’t fighting because they were afraid the Union would eventually outlaw slavery. No, no, no. It was all about FREEDOM! It was about the Yankee man oppressing the poor Southerner.

Christ almighty, thank God liberals aren’t like conservatives. If we were, we’d still be bitching about the 2000 election in 2150.

Anyone else feel a chill wind blowing?

Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 3:57 PM

It’s OK to to go against someone’s personal wishes because they don’t believe in your politics or don’t do as you say? It’s OK to harm someonme because YOU think they’re a hypocrite?

You DON’T think it’s hypocritical for a closeted gay person to persecute people for being openly gay? Do you know what the word “hypocritical” means?
