Olbermann blog: Keith slimed by Coulter

[Kurovski]

Mr. Keith Olbermann, soon to be the world's most favorite reporter, dissects the technique of La Coulter as she attempts a fast one...


<snip>It has all even come to the attention of the blithe agitator of the far right, Ann Coulter, who yesterday not only wrote of the election irregularities but, I’m proud to say, slimed and misquoted me. “In a major report on ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ last Monday,” my fellow Cornell alum writes, “Olbermann revealed that Bush’s win in Florida - and thus the election - was ‘attributable largely to largely Democratic districts suddenly switching sides and all voting for Mr. Bush at the same time’!”

It made for fascinating reading, because it made me think for a moment that I had been on television while in a coma. I couldn’t recall making such a broadly ridiculous remark - and it turns out I didn’t.<snip>

2. But while we wait 20, 30, 40 years for that to happen

Keith has done a little early embalming on Ann's willowy and wily ways.

It's in the blog.

3. Ann Coulter's just like that troll who won't go away, simply because

too many people pay attention to her.

Time to recall and employ some ancient and timely wisdom: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.

[Kurovski]

5. The general public has no idea what a troll is.

Real life is not a message board.

It's time to call liars on their lies in the public forum.


Additionally, she is paid huge amounts to keep up her nonsense.

Ignoring her, as with ignoring cancer, will make neither vanish.

6. Stupid troll

Someday the great big billy goat will cross the bridge and kick her ass.

19. indeed n/t

21. the truth is, if they have Coulter on this, then they are running scared

very few people are deranged enough to spin like she does.

She's a hitman for them, and her directions have come straight from the RNC

4. GOOD! That means he's doing something right

...let the rabid little canine growl!

7. Hi everyone,I'm a bit new here...but love the place!

Keith was great I read the blog...I think we should go one step further than the RW's...we should push for...no demand that a constitutional admendment that bans divorce...after all...isn't that the problem with marriage...highest rate of divorce are in the Red States...let them defend that...

Sorry for ranting..:(

8. Welcome, gerrilea.

9. Hi gerrilea!!

Welcome to DU!!!:toast:

[EST]

11. Welcome home.

We've been watchin' for ya!:hi:

[bklyncowgirl]

13. Yeah I agree...AND...Jesus is acutually on record opposing divorce

"What God has joined together let no man put asunder."

Now we can all argue about what the Savior of the World actually meant by that but it sounds an awful lot to me like "Sorry pal you're stuck with her (or him)"

20. welcome n/t

12. WELCOME to DU

I'm pretty new as well, I was able to register finally a few days ago. I love this site and the people here are very nice and welcoming.

Have a great stay :)

14. Welcome newbies.

When I found DU I felt like I had found my lost tribe! Hell, when I knew I'd have to be out of town for a week on a business trip, I got a fancy new laptop so I wouldn't be cut off from the internet world and esp. my beloved DU brothers and sisters. We are family!

And I love Mr. Olbermann. I'm going to have his children one day--he just doesn't know it yet!!!! Of course, I'll have to move to NYC, somehow meet him, get him to fall in love with me. . . . and uh--on second though---that seems rather involved. I'll just continue to adore him from afar with the rest of my fellow DU'ers.

He's hitting them out of the ballpark these days. One of the good guys for sure--and I love that he slapped the Coultergeist in this blog!

15. Ann Coulter's Usually Not Truthful. n/t

[Shopaholic]

16. And that's the point Snippy---

If she were a lefty and wrote a pack of lies on a regular basis, she'd be out of the business so fast she would have already been not just a long ago memory, but flat-out extinct. Instead, she's raking in the big bucks. I don't listen to Rush but I do listen when Al plays his lies on Air America and dissects them one-by-one. Why is it that these lying bastards haven't been exposed for the liars they are and run out of town on a rail?????????

Meanwhile, we tell the truth and not only do liberal editoral writers and the like have a difficult time getting published (both my local newspapers skew their editorals about 95% conservative to 5% liberal), we get ridiculed if we claim something like voter fraud even when we've got the proof to back ourselves up!!!!!

17. Agreed. n/t

18. AND the reason for lockdown in Warren County was a LIE?

County Emergency Services Director Frank Young said last week that in a face-to-face meeting with an FBI agent, he was warned that Warren County, outside Cincinnati, faced a “terrorist threat.” County Commissioners President Pat South amplified, insisting to us at Countdown that her jurisdiction had received a series of memos from Homeland Security about the threat. “These memos were sent out statewide, not just to Warren County, and they included a lot of planning tools and resources to use for election day security.

“In a face to face meeting between the FBI and our director of Emergency Services,” Ms. South continued, “we were informed that on a scale from 1 to 10, the tri-state area of Southwest Ohio was ranked at a high 8 to a low 9 in terms of security risk. Warren County in particular, was rated at 10.”

But the Bureau says it issued no such warning.

“The FBI did not notify anyone in Warren County of any specific terrorist threat to Warren County before Election Day,” FBI spokesman Michael Brooks told Enquirer reporters Erica Solvig and Dan Horn.

Through a spokeswoman, Ohio Public Safety Director Ken Morckel told the newspaper that his office knew of no heightened terror warning for election night for Warren County or any other community in Greater Cincinnati.


Now, if THAT doesn't give us pause, what will? No journalists were allowed because of a supposed terror alert by Homeland Security and it was ALL based on a damn LIE? They're hiding SOMETHING! Let's find out what it is! Unbelieveable.

22. Shocking, isn't it?

I personally can't believe that someone would actually LIE about terror to advance their own agenda. LOL.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Yeah. I learned a long time ago

that whatever comes out of a repuke's mouth should be considered a lie. The opposite of what they say is probably the truth. What a pathetic lot.

23. Ididn't know that Keith and Coulter went to Cornell!!

Me, too! I have to look them up and see what year....I know Wolfowitz was out before I went...thank god!!
