Keith

Via AmericaBlog:

Tonight on his show, Keith Olbermann eviscerated Hillary Clinton for a good ten minutes for promoting John McCain's presidency over her fellow Democrats. He compared her to Joe Lieberman. He asked "is she equating her time in the East Wing with McCain's time in the Hanoi Hilton?" You have got to watch these videos. They're devastating in only the way that Keith can be.

Hillary '08

Olbermann is a freak and a hack and he is setting up the democrat party for a loss. There is a reason nobody watches his pathetic show, he is a bitter man and his show shows it. He needs to cool his jets.

Hillary '08

Intersting story....b­ut didn't someone a few days ogo, off the record, mention that Hillary was a Monster?

Get with what is important! Get with the Program! Hillary is the VICTIM of an ATTACK by that mean ole Obama that my be a Muslim, as far as she knows or doesn't know at least she hasn't heard otherwise.­...

Geez...you intellectuals, just don't get whats important. A mean black Muslim man is attacking a poor defenseless white woman here. Justice must be served before...

Its all too disgusting to think about.

Enough is enough.

Super Delegates-Get Up Sack Up and Kick the Traitor Hillary Clinton out of the party and kick her degenerate husband out too.

Riiiiiiiight.

The truth about Hillary hurts doesn't it. And Keith is Democrat who cares about democratic principle like (1) not ripping the Democratic party apart, (2) not associating yourself with ANY NEOCON.

Hillary could have made the same statement WITHOUT referencing McCain. She has done this twice now.

Does she think she can win without the democratic base? (the base of each party is about 40% in the general election and the remaining 10-15% to put her over top are the swing voters and are not enough on its own).

Classic Clinton scorched earth policy

There is no "Commander in Chief threshold". What an obvious fabrication. There is no magic line which, once crossed, makes you equally qualified as everyone else who has crossed it.

And how is she qualifed, to begin with? She doesn't really say, because there is nothing she can point to. She implies it is because her experience and because a lot of retired officers -- who owe allegiance to her husband -- are willing to sit next to her. On these grounds (which are false), if she is better qualified than Obama, then McCain is better qualified than she.

It is demeaning for her to say she and McCain have a lifetime of experience, whereas Obama has only a single speech. Her life counts, but not his? She's older, so she has more experience (McCain again trumps her)? Being a wife and having tea and cookies as a good will 'ambassador', or helping Wal-Mart take advantage of its workers, is relevant experience, but organizing poor citizens to take power in their communities is not? Her lies make me ill.

The more she campaigns, the stronger McCain becomes. Why are people putting up with this?

Is Hillary Clinton the real Manchurian Candidate?

Are there any other conspiracy theorists out there that think that Clinton and McCain came up with this whole thing when they were touring Russia and drinking vodka on their political junket?

1. Clinton tears apart the Dems and gets to be the nominee
2. McCain wins in a hearbeat in the general election
3. The war in Iraq goes on indefinately
4. To thank them for their "service" to the Republican party, the Clinton's FINALLY get a piece of Halliburton and KBR, one of the final frontiers of political corruption that they Clinton Dynasty has NOT profited from - yet.

Or have I just been reading too many spy novels?

Also, add the following to your list:

5. McCain will squeeze out a victory and will then become known as "Veto Corleone" and veto any progressive attempts at delivering universal health care and other important initiatives.

6.Due to reduced morale and a lower than expected turnout at the polls in November, the Democrats will lose an historic opportunity to gain veto- and filibuster-proof majorities in both the House and Senate.

Just for fun, let's try it the other way...it's equally rational:
1. Obama tears apart the Dems and gets to be the nominee
2. McCain wins in a heartbeat in the general election
3. The war in Iraq goes on indefinately (sic)
4. The thank them for their "service" to the Republican party, Obama finally gets a piece of Halliburton, and goes public with the fact that he's a lifelong politician looking for a quick fortune.

And yes, you have been reading too many spy novels ;-)

I have said for months Hillary is a freaking republican!!! She was a republican beofre she married Bill and "converted" and now she is proving me right beyond a doubt. She is damn bush in a pantsuit and she looks like a man in a dress. I also see very clearly she is out to totally destroy the democrat party. She in fact would be called a traitor in a different situation. To promote John McCain as she is being more qualified than Barack and that she can bepresident because she has equal experience as John McCain is beyond stupid as if the clintons steal this election she will never make it into the white house as she has already endorsed Mac! Does anyone see this as what it is? She is supposed to be a democrat but at this moment in time she is lieberman in a pantsuit. She has done everything Mac and Joe have done except kiss bush on the cheek. I believe down to my toes now that anyone voting for hillary is a repubican through and through. Say GOODNIGHT and Goodbye to the dem party as Hillary will blow up washington if she doesn't win or Mac doesn't win.

Actually, his ratings are better than ever. And out of all the hosts at MSNBC, I felt he was always pro-Hillary. I think his reaction is completely appropriate. That Hillary would rather have her friend and republican ,John McCain, win the presidency than Senator Obama is shocking. Her obvious hatred and jealousy of Sen. Obama is ugly. And it gives all of us women a very bad name.

SHAME ON YOU, SENATOR CLINTON!! SHAME ON YOU!

Olbermann morphs Obama Lapdog Media into Obama Mad Dog Media --

It's one thing to have NBC and MSNBC as the obvious and biggest and whiniest lapdogs for Obama. [ See recent proof of how much they promoted Obama and bashed Clinton at these CMPA links: http://www.cmpa.com/election%20news%203_3_08.htm OR
http://www.cmpa.com/election%20news%202_1_08.htm ]

But, it is another thing altogether for Olbermann, who used to direct all his furious bloviations at Bush and Bill O'Reilly, to step WAY over the line of reasonable bias, and into the realm of slobbering mad dog attack.

Pay attention, two months ago the media was Hillary's lapdog, and nobody thought Obama had a chance. One SNL skit later, they are Hillary's lapdog again. Hillary is a corporatist. You don't think big media corporations want Hillary in office? They do. Plus (and I know this because the rest of my family is Republican) If Hillary gets the nomination, McInsane will win. Conservatives hate Hillary. It's a fix.

Clinton is more convservative than McCain. Look at what she and Bill did during her resumed years in office. Regardless of McCain's current positions. He will revert to his old stance. the Same goes for Clinton.

She has thank Karl Rove, associated herself to Mccain and thinks Obama is like Ken Starr. Well since Ken Starr was a person whom investigated to bring accountability to the Clintons and resulted in finding non criminal inappropriate actions by the Clintons. Is mrs. Clinton saying that legally what she has to hide is not criminal just that people would not like it.

ADVICE TO OBAMA CAMPAIGN: GO NEGATIVE, BUT NOT PERSONAL.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST INCOMING ATTACKS FROM THE CLINTONS WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO GAIN POWER.

YOU WILL BE DOING AMERICA A FAVOR. SO ATTACK ON NOT RELEASING TAX RETURNS, DONORS TO CLINTON LIBRARY, FIRST LADY RECORDS. IF YOU ARE ATTACKED ON ETHICS RETURN FIRE WITH FIRE (HSU, CLINTON PARDONS, ETC.). ATTACK ON HER BEING DEVISIVE AND HER NOMINATION LEADING TO CONSERVATIVES GETTING RILED UP TO VOTE.
THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON, ...

DO NOT DISARM AND CONTINUE TO TAKE INCOMING FIRE, WITHOUT RETURNING FIRE!!!

I agree and add to the list:

1. the Clinton campaign was the first mentioned to have given the Canadian government the "wink" to take the anti-NAFTA-gate statements with a grain of salt then they pummeled Obama for the same thing - and gained vote http://news.therecord.com/article/318895

2. the WSJ editorial referred to above, which I just read with sadness and great concern:

The young will become seriously disillusioned and the blacks will be outraged. They will make a point of not voting for her.

If she ascends to the top of the ticket via some "tricky Dick" approach that relies heavily on "inside politics", the Democratic base, along with all of the newcomers that Obama is credited with recruiting, will be outraged and vent their anger accordingly. Her victory will be hollow indeed.

Agreed. For the first time in my voting lifetime (I am 64 and a retired CEO woman) I may have to consider not voting.

She needs to be questioned now - and she needs to respond. ("The media is mean to me" is not an answer.) The republicans have a file cabinet of Clintonian issues they will exploit the minute she is the nominee.

Can''t we please look forward? What was successful in the 90's - and there were good times - for some - will not answer the context of 2009-2012.
