Break this info down succinctly: KEITH OLBERMANN RECEIVED A DEATH THREAT

[derby378]

If you missed Countdown with Keith Olbermann, someone has apparently threatened Keith Olbermann's life. At the FBI's request, no details as of yet. But that hasn't stopped the New York Post from interfering with an FBI investigation by splashing their biased take on the story all over their pages.

It always seems that they make our neighborhood look bad
Here's a letter to the New York Post
Yo, ain't worth the paper it's printed on
Founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton
That's 205 years of continuous fucked-up news
Yo, one can play the game, two can play the game
Yo, Flav, read on...

1. Well, I am not up on this jazzy lingo, and all I got out of your post

was the subject line and the top paragraph. The rest of it reads like bad poetry or something. Is that the note, or what? Is there a link to this story?

[derby378]

5. It's a Public Enemy reference

No link yet - Keith just discussed this on MSNBC a few minutes ago, and I'm not about to link to any Post articles right now.

On edit: There is a link on MSNBC now - check #3.

15. PE is old school baby

been around for 20 years now.

[MADem]

19. Eh, still whippersnappers to the likes o'me, I fear!!!

I'm at the stage where I can call someone balding with a paunch a kid!! And I'm not talking about infants either...though they ALL look like Winston Churchill to me, at least at the outset!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

20. LOL!

:rofl:

32. P-E are such overrated poseurs..... And Chuck D is

{ { { ({((WAIT ))) ) ) )


DO NOT FLAME. I AM TOTALLY KIDDING, P-E IS THE SHIT. :wow:

[razors edge]

2. Is that the same FBI who

7. That is EXCELLENT...a MUST READ....NT

23. KO wrote a great response! The Post stinks! n/t

[rzemanfl]

4. I suspect that the singular is only because this one was

published in Murdock's rag. They had to destroy all Keith's clothes including his wallet.

[niyad]

9. somebody posted the post's snarky commentary, how keith

'hysterically" ran to the phone, demanded help, demanded to be medically checked out--as though the whole thing were some joke to which he was overreacting.

what jerks.

[VOX]

16. Exactly - it conjures up images of some lunatic hypochondriac...

who's running around impotently. Which is total crap, and a really shitty thing to write.

In fact, in 2001, NBC offices received anthraxed envelopes addressed to Tom Brokaw. It was a very real, very grave threat at that time. (Never solved by the administration, either.)

So now it's joke material for the right wing? How distinctly **un-American**. :grr:

[chill_wind]

27. I don't doubt that he WAS alarmed. But how the fook would they know

any of the details of his demeanor? I was under the impression this occurred at home. Where exactly did these blow by blow accounts of his every "hysterical" move come from? It is snark to the point of maliscious.

[applegrove]

10. Keith Oberleman needs to get security precautions in place so he

can keep on being his great self. Get psychological, spiritual, security, help & sympathy from his possy. And he will feel better. Ignore the monsters who try and pull the rug out from underneath you.

Oberleman will continue with his great journalism.

[derby378]

12. I just wonder if those responsible for the threat are reading DU

Hey, it could happen. And here's my message to them. You failed. And you will continue to fail. Now why don't you swallow your pride and piss all over yourselves, already?

[Erika]

13. We need to let the New York Post how we feel

about them laughing at Olbermann, the FBI, and our justice system.

[VOX]

17. Writing a blistering email right now. n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

14. Was the anthrax the real thing?

?

[Berry Cool]

18. No, it was soap powder. Detergent, whatever.

But that doesn't matter. It's still a felony, at least, to send someone an anthrax hoax through the mail. Whoever did this is in deep trouble. And the implication I get from Keith is that he was not the only one...there were other targets, all of which have been encouraged to keep mum. We just don't know about it yet, because, well, they're keeping mum. And, unlike Keith, they haven't been outed.

21. Fascinating that the NYPost would interfere with a Federal investigation

I wonder who the others were?

[Nikki Stone 1]

24. Sounds like a deranged freeper. Anyone see Anne Coulter lately?

?

[havocmom]

25. Thought she was doing lunch with... Bill O

The wicked witch and the cowardly lion... sounds possible, doesn't it? ;)

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. Heh

:D

[EFerrari]

22. Let's keep watching this. They'll try to shut him down, we know that.

If they can do it with intimidation, well, that's the cowards' favorite tool.

:kick:

[havocmom]

26. Not just trying to shut KO down - Sends message to others

who might be tempted to start asking hard questions and speaking truth to power.

Wouldn't surprise me to hear of a hotel hang-out of journalists getting fired on by a tank. Oh, they already did that, didn't they?

[EFerrari]

29. Yes! Sending messages to others! And, last time I looked

those messages were only effective here in the Gulag. Al Jazeera rolls on.

I wish anyone in our press corpse could do as well.

[GreenTea]

30. Buy Keith Obermann new book-It's a good fun read & it's only 12 bucks

and KO will make the top ten.

[brettdale]

31. kick

kick

[B Calm]

33. This neocon lunatic reminded the country that Bush hasn't

caught the anthrax terrorist either!
