Keith says “I’m not a liberal — I’m an American!” He at least knows the difference between the two even if he doesn’t really know what he is…
unclesmrgol on February 12, 2010 at 10:51 PM
Soooooooooooooo he’s claiming that liberals are “Un-American”?
Wouldn’t “climate change” be warmer where it is supposed to be cold and colder where it is supposed to be warm? Colder where it’s supposed to be cold is just colder.
“…well that’s obvious during a storm that killed people….”
Watch that part again. He goes from a full face smirk to a serious look to a full face smirk. Like he rehearsed it. Like a bad comedy bit. Nobody takes Keith Olberman seriously. Keith Olberman doesn’t take Keith Olberman seriously. He thinks he’s funny.
That is the first time I’ve watched KO on MsNBC. What a passive-aggressive, condescending, idiotic little twit. If he’s this way on TV, what is he like behind closed doors? He has some serious passive-aggressive, anger issues.
The family is right that he needs to lighten up.
conservative pilgrim on February 13, 2010 at 7:44 AM
These are the rantings of a person with a softball sized brain tumor.
He is truly a disturbed man.
and they are trying to change the term Global Warming to Climate Change because of the “brand” damage. They can’t sell Global Warming so they need to tweak the product. Unfortunately for them the label Global Warming has stuck
Comcast definitely needs to “go in in a new direction” at MSNBC. They might think about actually getting on-air staff that draw good ratings and generate revenue.
Poor Olbermann. He is what you get when you attend an agricultural school (that you think is Harvard), majoring in animal husbandry. You then get thrown out for practicing it and decide you are a really serious journalist. And you wind up at MSDNC, a paragon of truth and the American way. Of course you only have about 10 people watching you.
Keith Olbermann NEVER discloses that MSNBC’s parent Company GE has a stake in Cap & Trade. That’s called dishonest schilling for his corporate Master.
Didn’t he hear from RFK Jr? NO snow means AGW is real, that’s right Man Made Global Warming means it will never snow or get cold in D.C. again….who’s too stupid to program a left leaning network and put this crap on Olbermann’s teleprompter?
the MIRROR CLIMBING these guys have to do to justify the neverending failure of their theories is just amazing.
pretty awsome and hilarious to watch though.
“warm-er” “cold-er”, this is fantastic shit.
Unfortunately for them the label Global Warming has stuck
right wing chicky on February 13, 2010 at 8:14 AM
Like an electronic ankle bracelet, it has to stick.
The GW crowd used it for too long to shed it so easily.
Climate change, of course, can be stuck to anything.
Global warming on the other hand, is akin to, “the sky is falling” or “crying wolf”, now that it’s been debunked.
Every time someone says “global warming” now, people snicker.
If having a bit of fun in a snowstorm that people died in offended Olby so much, I wonder what he thinks about Biden’s interview after the Opening Ceremonies last night? He said that he hoped that more snow would fall in DC, and he would be forced to stay in Canada. Olberman will be furious that the VP of our country is hoping that snow will fall on a place where earlier snow killed people. What’s worse is that he said that so that he didn’t have to come back to the United States while he is much happier in a foreign land. Set the Tivo for Olby’s reaction to that.
Just remember, Olbergoebbels and Butch Maddow were called into the White House by Maobama not that long ago. Subject being, “The propaganda needs to be pushed harder, we need to brainwash the useful idiots some more.”
What you’re watching in this clip is the Official Propaganda Arm of the White House. Olbergoebbels is just doing his job for the Empty Suit….
Thank God for OlbermannWatch.org……They point out every lie this ahole puts out on the air. Edward R. Murrow indeed. And yet he has the audacity to call others in the media liars. This guy needs to hang when normalcy returns to American politics. Treason and Sedition are serious crimes. What this tool is doing every night is ten times worse than what the Rosenbergs did…..
Ogerman is so deranged, and his overbearing arrogance is why he makes normal people want to commit mayhem on what ever device his voice is being heard from.
The only reason he remains on the air is that those at MSNBC share the same personality defects.
He hides under big words that he gathers from Websters Third World Dictionary. His primary problem is that he strings to together large words (more than one syllable), that he does not have a clue of their meaning, just to sound intelligent. However, if he was smart he would find out what they mean before uttering them.
Some one he is interviewing (interrograting misspelled on purpose) should ask him how tall he is. And sound excited when he provides a response. But, thank him and remind him that they were not aware that the government allowed shit to be piled that high.
Is there any way, in a normal sense, this guy should be reporting on a television network? I can’t believe that any corporation, let alone General Electric, believes this guy is good publicity. I mean Brian Williams partisanship offends me, since he tries to present himself as an unbiased reporter, but this guy is, even if we can expect a certain amount of partisanship from a commentator, goes beyond opinion.
I have no problem listening to people’s opinions on subjects. Olbermann carries it beyond subjects (since he knows little about subjects) has has to attack the people themselves. Why would any television network condone this behavior? Ironcially, it’s these same people who believe that Michael Savage is terrible. Talk about who should be able to cast the first stone, these people should get out of line immediately.
Just the concept of having a nightly segment called “The Worst Person in the World” – a daily search for what you think is the worst in people as opposed to looking for the best in people – liberals are full of hate.
I love how libs like Olbie change definitions and terms so easily! Global Warming was the term for 25 years; now all of a sudden using the term the libs coined is bad because it’s been replaced by ‘climate change’. Seems like they homogenized the term the same way they did to the data.
Gotta love, too, that making fun of a BS theory is now the same as mocking the dead in a blizzard. Well, according to Olbie Non Conjones, that is.
Now, I’m curious–isn’t claiming Bush caused 9/11 the same, then, as mocking those who died that awful day? Isn’t it making light of their murders, though humor isn’t being used?
The Left’s pet religion is being shattered, so all that’s left is to stifle debate. In my case, I don’t fall for guilt trips any more readily than I accept junk science.
If it’s climate change, then it means in zones like the Arctic or Temperate–basically world-wide change. Local fluctuations are called weather. Duh! And what’s so bad about a few degrees rise in temperature? If Russia can increase its farming land by two percent, they could feed millions. I see no problem with that at all.
Olbie’s the one with the problem, not the Inhofes, especially when he brings a politician’s family into his (Olbie’s own) political commentary.
Could you please refrain from posting a screenshot or any picture of this guy.
Having to scroll by or actually view his face nauseates me.
I’d rather you just put use picture of a turd.
Olbermann just provides example after example of the old edict that a sure way to tell when someone has lost the argument — has lost all of the arguments — is when he becomes snide, angry, condescending, and attacks those on the other side of the debate personally. Check mate, Olby. You lose.
On most nights, he’s got the Manson Lamps going on, but there are some nights even Charles himself, has to turn his head away.
Here’s the mystery to me. Anyone that spends 30 seconds watching Olbmermann knows he’s certifiable, so the question is, how do the execs at NBC rationalize leaving him in the time slot, especially when they are behind “Bowling for Dollars” in the ratings? If success isn’t the network’s objective, what is?
Jase Raper, 14, and his family built an igloo outside the Library of Congress. They also made a sign calling the igloo Al Gore’s new home.
Hey, nice typo, KHBS TV!
It’s the Rapert family . . . with a “t” at the end.
(pointed out by commenter “pedant” in the comment thread of the story.)
Overall, the story is actually pretty favorable. But the header is ridiculous. Being personally attacked by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC does not put anyone in the hotseat!
In fact, the kid’s comment at the end actually made KO look like the jerk that is always has been.
If he had a world of his own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
This man has no sense of reality. He can only believe those he worships and goes into his usual vitriolic outrage against anyone he does not agree with – fact be damned.
Ogerman becomes a greater mental midget everytime he opens his mouth. Eventually, for the benefit of the free world he will consume himself with his big empty mouth.
I think we need to use technology to replace water-boarding. Take some of his most vitriolic personal destructive rants and simply replaces the name of the person he is slandering with the name of the person being interrogated.
This may also make Ogerman a target of abuse by those sympathetic with the victim.
Climate change is when cold places get colder and warm places get warmer? Well, what about the cold places that get warmer and the warm places that get colder? Oh, those prove global war… sorry… “climate change,” too? Gotcha.

I think Joe Scarborough and the Nothing But Communism employees and Ariana Huffsnuff are the only audience they can count on.
The deeper their polls they say they don’t care about fall, the worse actors they’ll all become.
This years election circus could set the leftie bar at a new low which is difficult to comprehend much less accept.

You know, you are correct. We have so much opposite reasoning to common sense and greater discord.

They own the “women’s movement”.
They own the “gay rights movement”.
They own the “civil rights movement”.
Now they want healthcare and police power over everything that concerns the enviroment but they really want control over the economy.
The table is set.
Pray that we avoid another event like the 1930s “Dustbowl”.
