    Keith Overbite and his manly looking cohort Rachel Maddow are 2 of the most pathetic jackasses on TV

    Yeah I agree. O’reilly’s liver spots are much cooler. And the way that he’s a jerk to everyone, that’s really cool. And the way that he’s outraged at the stupidest stuff that makes me mad about them too. It makes me pay attention to things like the made up “war on christmas” as opposed to the real one that we’re engaged in now that recently passed the 4k deaths mark and costs us billions of dollars. I sure am glad that he gets the most viewers because if not we wouldn’t be able to say merry christmas to each other. Thanks for pointing out that Keith Olbermann has an overbite and that the lesbian he has on his show is manly looking. Good looking out Adam- maybe O’reilly will have you on his show since you pay attention to the important stuff like he does.

    Why don’t you havve any opposing views on your show Kaith? Debating views/opinions with folks that already agree with you makes you kinda boring, bro, but best to play it safe. I guess. I think a-holes like Limbaugh or Coulter would chew you up and that would make us all look like fools for watching, so rock on brother!

    Why the fuss? Both are different shows with different audiences. Keith is an anger driven sanctamonious know-it-all and Bill is a self rightious values monitor who hides behind the American Flag. The only diffeerence is the audience. Keith has none.

  9. LOL. No audience? Then why would MSNBC broadcast Countdown twice nightly? KO must be doing something right! Or maybe MSNBC is in a death spiral and just doesn’t realize it? Reimnds me of the bad poker player who goes all-in with a bad hand….I think Countdown x 2 a night is MSNBC’s bluff of the century….when ya got nothing, bet it all!

    Olbermann has jumped the shark with his fawning over Barack Hussein Obama. I guess Keith is another one of the Kool-Aid drinking Obamoonies who hasn’t looked past the pretty speeches and into Obama’s dark, militant background. Isn’t anyone in the media EVER going to vet Obama? The guys got more militant racist “advisers” and relatives in his camp than you can shake a stick at. Olbermann has alienated every Clinton supporter and everyone with more than 2 functioning brain synapses. Too bad, Keith, you coulda’ been a contender.

    MSNBC ignorance is showing when it comes to race relations….Chris Mathews said it today, “I never had a black kid in any of my classes when I was in school.” If that is true, we can assume he lived in a segregated neighborhood. Chris and KO have no experience growing up with black folks other than the upscale Cosby-Rice-Powel-Obama-Winfrey types and doesn’t understand white blue collar frustration with black crime and dependence/strain upon social services. How many “urban” blacks were at Cornell, Keith? That is why it is so easy for Chris and KO to ridicule anyone who questions Obama and his background. We’ve seen black folks like Rev Wright our whole lives and are already familiar with the underside of black culture that we do not like. When I hear Rev Wright and see folks like Obama sitting there nodding heads to outrageous comments, I see a congregation that can’t wait to get paid. Time to pay up crackers!

    How did Randi Rhodes (Air America) fail to make
    Keith Olbermann’s ‘Worst Person in the World”
    list ? It is because MSNBC is in bed with Air America (Keith has Air America’s Rachel Maddow on “Countdown” frequently ) How is that for honest, independent, straingth forward presentation of the issues, Mr. Olbermann !
    This is a clear example of Keith’s prensentation hypocracy. Keith cherry picks the outrage that does not conflict with his agenda. Keith has given Air America a pass.

    Hey Adam. We get it already. You don’t like Olbermann’s show. Now what would make it REALLY impressive is if you came up with an ORIGINAL thought about it instad of parroting what you heard on Mark Levin’s show…

    MSNBC should fire Olbermann for his horrible bias. He couldn’t cover anything objectively if it killed him. I stopped watching his show a few weeks ago. I will never turn that crappy show on again. Oh and did I mention he’s a sexist pig for the way he covers Clinton and Ferraro? At the same time, he seems to have no trouble with racism by Reverend Wright and Obama. He also doesn’t cover McCain objectively.

    Larry, Olbermann is the king of slanted, biased commentary. He should have Randi Rhodes as the worst person in the world for about a week with that filth she spews against other women. But does he care about that? No. Now if that same kind of filth was spewed against his favorite candidate ( BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA) he’d be having a heart attack right on his show. Olbermann is a creepy little stooge of the far left radicals.

    CW, I doubt if O’Reilly is afraid of arguing with Olbermann. Why should he bother when he beats Olbermann consistently by huge margins.

    Keith Blubberman is nothing but a rabid left wing lunatic who spews hatred every night. The dummy never names 3rd world dictators or Obamas pastor worst person in the world. Hes a has been sports hack and an atrocious news anchor and his ratings prove it. Even that boyish looking Rachel Maddow cant save his show. Those 2 miserable hacks are perfect for each other

    It sounds like Keith O is doing an excellent job judging by the outrage of most of the dittoheads posting here. I know it’s painful for some to see just one program out there that is ACTUALLY slanted to the left as opposed to an entire network (guess who) that’s slanted the opposite. Keith never claims to be “fair and balanced”. People tuning in shouldn’t and don’t expect an unbiased view. The big difference is people who tune into Faux News actually think it’s “fair and balanced”. if you were really fair and balanced why would you need to advertise that all the time??? Randi Rhodes doesn’t fit into the whole premise of the “worst person in the world” because that’s usually pointing out hypocrisy or being plainly wrong and a moron. Randi Rhodes was just trying to be funny IN A COMEDY CLUB (emphasis on trying). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KEITH!!!!!!

    Adam- here’s a little help on the logic that Fox News is worse than Al-Qaeda. Definition of terrorist: a person who terrorizes or frightens others. you cannot deny the fact that Fox News frightens others quite intentionally. that’s why they have the ratings. fear sells. if you paid attention they declared war on Iraq-then all the other networks came out with their “target iraq” or whatever stupid graphic they could come up with. if you also paid attention they tried very hard to declare war on Iran- that hasn’t worked….yet. they were the only ones with the graphics with iran in the crosshairs- this time the other networks didn’t follow suit (thank god). Most politicians and generals understand that if you control the media you can control the people- fear sells. Fox News has got old white people all over the country scared to death about anything that falls outside the “leave it to beaver” stereotype. Now you’re probably saying to yourself “but Al-qaeda killed 3k people” nobody argues that’s a horrendous act. (also nobody argues that we should have gone after the people that actually attacked us) But now we have 4k dead American troops and a network that not only beat the drums to war louder than anyone but calls you and I unpatriotic if we think this war is insane. Fox News is the stereotype of Americans that the rest of the world hate. Adam-since you like posting links I have one for you. it sums up the Faux News position quite simply. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/xenophobia

PMSNBC has a bunch of hasbeens failures and dummies. Your hatred of white people shows in your comments. You Blubberman and the boyish looking Maddow should move to Cuba. You wanna talk about xenophobia? How about the global warming creeps who try to scare everyone with dead polar bears, and the usual drivel. You just got owned!!!!

    Spicn: Well put. There are too many right-wing trolls on this thread spouting their predictable BS. They always cite the ratings, but the facts don’t back them up anymore. Go look at the Neilsen TV ratings (the ones the TV industry uses) and you’ll see that Countdown & The O-R Factor are pretty much level at 400k viewers per week (3/17/08). It’s only when you look at the over-60 demographic that O’Reilly takes the lead. And that’s the demo the advertisers don’t target, and the one that O’Reilly constantly downplays for fear he’ll look outdated, reactionary, and decidedly uncool. Viewed year-on-year, Countdown has gained 28% in the 25-54 demo, The Factor has lost 25%.

    Olbermann will soon experience the same thing that is going to happen with Couric-fired!!! O’Reilly does not have to do anything but stick his rating in Olbermann’s face. Olbermann is a sad excuse for a journalist since he simply gives his own views and left wing dogmas. He does not have the guts to bring both sides of the issue forward and “let the people decide.” O’Reilly and FOX does that and that is why they are the premier Cable News Network! Joe, please take a long vacation and read some books. You are short on facts. The Iraq War is the most efficient war the USA has ever fought. Take some time and look up the casualities of our other wars. I assume it would be fine with the left if we were fighting the terrorists in Afg. In the last seven years the USA has not had one attack. Under Clinton there were six and we did nothing. I lost a good friend in NY on 9-11 and Bush has made sure it did not happen again. I am sure Obama will take care of us by talking with Iran. I guess we should have talked to Hitler!!!!! Jimmy Carter did such a fine job with Iran. Clinton did nothing during his presidency to stop the attacks on our country. History will prove Bush to have been right.

    MSNBC is the Obama network, to work there you have to pass a course in Obama butt kissing.

    Why does MSNBC broadcast Olberman twice each night? All of their shows stink, but Olberman doesn’t stink quite as much they think. Olberman is much too full of himself, he comes off as a pompous jerk.
