5055955, Why is Keith Olbermann throwing rocks at Hillary Clinton?
Posted by Apollo11 on Thu Mar-13-08 07:33 AM

I watched and read Keith Olbermann's latest Special Comment on MSNBC, in which he tried to make the case that Hillary Clinton is somehow partly responsible for an opinion expressed by one of her supporters, former Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro.

You can watch and read the Special Comment here: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23601041

Olbermann accused Hillary Clinton of campaigning as if she was "the Republican".

He complained that it was not "sufficient" for Hillary to disagree with and reject Ferraro's remarks.

He made the assertion that Hillary Clinton is in a "new relationship" with Geraldine Ferraro.

He said that Hillary is "letting herself be perceived as standing next to, and standing by, racial divisiveness and blindness".

He said it was "disturbing" that Bill Clinton recalled the fact that Jesse Jackson won the Democratic Primary in South Carolina twice during the 1980s.

He publicized the smear that there may have been a "racial undertone" to one of Hillary's TV ads.

He repeated the lie that Hillary answered a question about Obama’s religion with a "moment’s hesitation" and "a disturbing vagueness". A lie that was born on the Drudge Report and spread by other right-wing blogs.

In case you missed it, you can see the original video of Hillary's answer here: www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3897988n

With a final flourish, Olbermann described Hillary Clinton as being "awash in this filth".


Why would Keith want people to think that Hillary is running a dirty, racist campaign? :eyes:

2. Stupid KO

In my opinion all he did was make a damn FOOL of himself. He should be fired and Obama should have this race card deal backfire in his face. My opinion of KO is right along with my opinion of Bush, both are worthless. I feel sorry for the Clinton's that they have to tolerate this slime from so called Democrats.

3. because he's an ASS??

:shrug:

5. Because he has a man-crush for Obama.

Just like Chris Matthews who said he got a tingling sensation down his leg when Obama spoke.

Keith's breakdown has been building for weeks. There's something terribly wrong with KO.

6. "There's something terribly wrong with KO."...I agree.nm
