Olbermann sez: "Beginning of the end of America" and also we all LOL at PD!

[The Fake Shemp]

We have lived as if in a trance.

We have lived as people in fear.

And now—our rights and our freedoms in peril—we slowly awake to learn that we have been afraid of the wrong thing.

Therefore, tonight have we truly become the inheritors of our American legacy.

For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force, we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering:

A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy it claims to protect us from.

We have been here before—and we have been here before led here—by men better and wiser and nobler than George W. Bush.

You can read the entire thing right here!

[Van Cruncheon]

edit: actually, it's a pretty appropriate rant.

[MrAngryFace]

MORE LIKE PROTOPLASMIC WOOAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Seriously tho, im glad im way over here in WA State and never check my mail.

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm usually not an Olbermann fan, but it's actually a pretty coherent and well written editorial.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's perfectly ok to be a biased TV journalist if you're liberal lol.

[Van Cruncheon]

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

PD, I thought we told you to stay out of political threads from now on!

[MrAngryFace]

'Countrys fuked up' isnt much of a newsflash lol

[Cheebs]

It's perfectly ok to be a biased TV journalist if you're liberal lol.

Name one thing he said that wasn't true.

[MrAngryFace]

I think most republicans can only reply back with "Its not THAT bad...com'on!' rather than "Thats all made up!"

[Van Cruncheon]

Yeah, PD needs to be banned from all political threads since "lolz libruls piss me off" isn't an ideology

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Ahem, MAF..... get to work.

[MrAngryFace]

lol I dont remember 'being a dumb republican' being against the TOS

[Himu]

See now, the thing is..PD is black, no? All blacks are liberal. Any black man or woman that is a conservative is not actually black, they're rooting for the whites! THIS IS FACT.

[Cheebs]

Is PD the only black person who ISN'T a democrat?

See now, the thing is..PD is black, no? All blacks are liberal. Any black man or woman that is a conservative is not actually black, they're rooting for the whites! THIS IS FACT.

It is true. Bush in 2004 I believe got 2% of the vote of african american voters. 2%!

In PD's case, it should be.

While LBJ did some wacko things with Vietnam the democratic party is forever in his debt. He made easily over 90% of the african american community lifelong democrats.

That's not the point. My problem is with Olbermann's clear liberal bias, and how no one seems to care. He's not Jon Stewart, who's on the fucking Comedy Central channel. He's on MSNBC.

I'm liberal btw

[Himu]

Any minority who votes republican is a traitor to us all. We minoritites stick up together god fucking dammit.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

HAY GUYS IM A LIBRUL HOW BOUT DAT JOHN STEWART WHAT A FAGGURT

[Phoenix Dark]

Any poor person who votes republican is a traitor to us all. We poor people stick up together god fucking dammit.

Fixed for accuracy, justice, and the American way

[Himu]

Wrong. 

[Himu]

a mix between cigarillo and yogurt?  Yummy! Faggurt!

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Tell that to Flava Flave, traitor!



 

[Phoenix Dark]

Republicans have an agenda to support the rich of this country, as well as businesses. Poor people are left out of the equation. Considering the majority of black families make far less than white families, it's no wonder why Republicans aren't interested in them.

 :nuhuh

[Himu]

We could tell that dumb negro was a traitor ever since he first stuck his teeth in a crack rock. NOW IS THE TIME INDEED you bloody fucking traitor.

Put on black paint on your face and act like a clown. You disgrace.

They are traitors to the movement. Falling into an endless loop of distinguished mentally-challenged, contradictions, coonery, and a new generation of bamboozlement.

To me, any negro who talks liek dis and slangs shyt, knaw'm sayin', dawg? is a traitor, because people died for you and instead you treat it as if it was a fucking joke.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

By that logic, anyone who uses slang must be rebuking the freedoms afforded to them...

Huh?

On a serious note: that's a little harsh. There's nothing wrong with talking like that based on your environment. It's a social issue. Someone born deep in Mississippi is going to talk like that, whether they're black or white. It doesn't mean they're stupid at all

Now when it comes to fake ass gangsta niccas in the suburbs trying to act like that, yes you're 100% right

[MrAngryFace]

PD:

I hope you have the opportunity to see these posts when youre 40 so you can feel as embarassed for humanity as I am when I read them.

[Himu]

Not when the majority of a race's age group talks like that or is fed ridiculous bullshit similar to it. To me, if you don't even have the fucking gall to speak English and take a lot of these things for granted that many of our elders had to fucking fight for, yes you are a traitor.

And yes, I'm talking about those fake ass gangsta coons.

[The Fake Shemp]

@ front page of MSNBC...

Which ones? The obvious joke posts, or the serious one (like my last post in this thread)?

[Van Cruncheon]

how no one seems to care.

you dumb batshit clown, try reading a few conservative blogs like instapundit and powerline, where half the time all they *do* is bitch about olbermann

jesus herpes christ, get your fucking head out of democratic underground and randi rhodes' blog

[Himu]

And yes, I'm talking about those fake ass gangsta in the suburbs. Even if you live in the city, you can go to the library. Being poor does not mean you have to be fucking stupid. Malcom X, was born poor, and that dude was smart as the people who went to High School and College. And hell, that was in the damn 1940's and 50's when this shit was FAR more less tolerating and racist.

Making up excuses does not keep you from achieving potential.

Dude, I gave up guessing which of your posts are jokes. I just assume everything you say is one big giant joke post. I mean you really could be this dumb, but that gives me no hope for the future of america.

With respect to Olbermann, I shared my opinion. If you don't like it, fine. I'd prefer to see all TV journalists held to the same standards.

With respect to black people are crack, if you thought I was serious about that, you're the idiot

With respect to the Republican party and poor people, that's a fact. So what's your problem?

[MrAngryFace]

I had to edit my post in the fear of sounding Phoenix Dark.

[The Fake Shemp]

FACT: DEMOCRATS ARE SPINELESS.

FACT: DEMOCRATS HELP THE WEAK, AND CORRUPT OUR SYSTEM.

FACT: DEMOCRATIC JOURNALISTS ARE A SECURITY LIABILITY.

VOTE PHOENIXDARK FOR PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND FLUSH THE COUNTRY DOWN THE POOPER.

[Phoenix Dark]

Wow you guys suck.

[MrAngryFace]

It takes much less effort to be close-minded Phoenix Dark, than to simply be a little objective lol

[Van Cruncheon]

Your "opinion" that Olbermann doesn't come under fire was fuckin' wrong. He gets excoriated worse on conservative blogs -- which generally have larger readership than libby blogs -- in ways even that fatass Limbaugh doesn't take from, say, Kos, or whatever those fringe college "liberal" blogs you read and whine about are.

[The Fake Shemp]

Drinky, I resent the term "blog".  It undermines the maturity and responsibility of the platform, equating it to simple adolescent hijinks.  We much prefer the term "instant political news disbursement program".

[LiuKangBakingAPie]

That's not the point. My problem is with Olbermann's clear liberal bias, and how no one seems to care. He's not Jon Stewart, who's on the fucking Comedy Central channel. He's on MSNBC.

I'm liberal btw

Just because you're on TV doesn't mean you have to be down-the-middle on everything. Olbermann is paid to be himself and to editorialize how he wants on his own show. He's not paid to be a faceless, opinionless talking head that's just there to regurgitate the generic news. His views do not express those of MSNBC and he doesn't represent anyone except himself.

"Bias" is not relevant in a situation where any sort of opinion, no matter where it leans, is valid and appreciated. Bias is only used in the pejorative sense when its presented in a non-editorial, non-opinion piece.

[MrAngryFace]

blogs are nothing more than the worst episodes of CNN Talkback LIVE put to text.

[Phoenix Dark]

It takes much less effort to be close-minded Phoenix Dark, than to simply be a little objective lol

Closed minded? Where am I being closed minded? Last time I checked, not one person has challenged any of my assertions or answered my question. Why is it ok for Olbermann to demonstrate a clear liberal bias, but it's not ok for conservative TV journalists to do the same? Shouldn't we expect them all to be...fair and balanced?

For many years now the Republican party has shown a clear interest in creating policies to support big business while also benefitting the rich. Since when is this new? Or is it wrong now just because I said it?

[Van Cruncheon]

dunno, sounds kinda COMMUNIST to me

after all, there's a kinda person that doesn't EARN their political news and just TAKES IT

Like O'Reilly?

[The Fake Shemp]

Olbermann is exactly like O'Reilly in terms of his job, but not his ideals.  Neither are news anchors.

[MrAngryFace]

PD: That's because everything you say is like the sound of 1,000 people farting in unison. Why should we even attempt to figure that shit out?
