A DUer emailed Olbermann, and Olbermann responded...

[Maddy McCall]

that he had never told Bev that the "f-word" couldn't be used on his show.

Olbermann is one of us. We KNOW that. Please quit attacking him...he's one of the MSM we CANNOT afford to lose.

Peace.

1. what? olberman is one of US? us?

and bev isnt?

i dont know where your anget toward bev has come from.
all I know is she is fighting every day against a corrupt system. she is a hero to me.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Buyer beware

Exercise skepticism. That's all I'm saying.

Why that notion is so offensive to bev's most stringent supporters is beyond me. Perhaps they need to evaluate WHY they can't accept any criticism of her.

:shrug:

3. Maybe it's because criticism is all you have.

I try to operate on the belief that we aren't perfect. But, she has invested a lot into BBV, can you say the same? She may not be the "perfect" champion, but then again, who is.

[aquart]

8. But you say it SO OFTEN. All night long, in fact.

Why is it such an important mission to make DU distrust Bev? Why, why, why? Who would benefit from such distrust? Who? Who? Who?

[Maddy McCall]

10. You nailed me. I am a deep-cover Rove agent.

:eyes:

Perhaps you should be questioning Bev instead of me. You're wasting your time questioning the wrong person.

I really hope the day doesn't come when I can say "I told you so." HOnestly, I don't want that day to come. But if it does, I promise not to say, "I told you so."

12. if I hadn't already heard enough of this....

I'd remind everyone that they've both been major assets in our efforts. :) -G

4. good man

I'm on the side of Olbermann... But I think we know too little of Bev to judge on her.

[Maddy McCall]

5. I'm not judging her. I'm presenting facts.

Others can make their own judgments after reading the facts.

I am clear about my sentiments about her, however. I think people need to be careful.

[aquart]

9. Bev's been here all year. Olberman? Where? Fox? MSNBC?

[Maddy McCall]

11. Here, as in at DU?

Actually, she hasn't. Remember that month or two she was tombstoned for all the divisiveness she created?

[aquart]

6. He told her she could say "Fraud"?

You've spent the whole night attacking Bev, Maddy. Some might think it was your career.

[Maddy McCall]

7. Yes, I am being paid millions to post on DU.

I'm a deep-cover Rove agent. :eyes: Just as is anyone who criticizes the bev.

[aquart]

13. I really doubt it's millions.

So, since you're up, tell us what YOU've done to protect our vote. I'm sure the resume is impressive.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Go see the other thread...

I detailed it there, for yet another poster whose response to the points I raised was to ask me to prove that I have the "credentials" to criticize a public figure. How fucking Orwellian!

What is with you guys?

[Lost4words]

15. Bev Harris or Maddy McCall, theres a tough one.

I'll take the BEV value meal and
one Maddy McCall for my dog,... he will eat any pile of garbage.

I no longer believe the problem is cheating repukes but spineless sissy DINOs, democrats in name only.

Oberman may be saying things we like to hear but remember he is still a highly paid corporate news reader, nothing else, nothing more.

His corp masters say jump, Kieth says HOW HIGH!

Its ratings only, count on that fact and you wont be let down.

PS maybe if you run fast enough you can catch up to that turnip truck!
