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.

Olbermann is every bit as obnoxious and over-bearing as O'Reilly.
One to the extreme Left and one to the Right.
Can't stand either one of them.
when Olbermann starts advocating lynching I will agree with you--till then, you are moronic as bill'o
thom--you are correct. Olberman THINKS and O'Leilly just makes shit up.
GrammyiPA--If you can't stand either them, turn your fucking TV off. TV makes you stupid AND ANGRY--you appear to be both.
Olbermann is a refreshing change from the drumbeat of conservative crap that is forever being served to the American public. He is like an oasis of truth in a barren desert of rote-like, carefully articulated conservative talking points. Democrats have so few in the MSM expressing their point of view that, frankly, it feels downright criminal. There is an overabundance of right-leaning talk shows and pundits espousing the conservative position or the "status quo" but only a small handful who mirror the thoughts, feelings, and passion of so many of us who feel completely abandoned by a corporate controlled media that ostensibly is seeking predetermined results.
Keith is one of the few in the media who is still firmly in control of his own cajones and who refuses to bow down to the political royalty of HRH HRC and her court's claim of entitlement.
"firmly in control of his own cajones" ???
and that is a good thing?
Perpetual war, death is freedom, 100 year occupation. Hillary and John pass the war monger test.
Hillary has gone out of her way to praise Republicans and their positions. A Democrat or a Progressive would be insane to vote for her. If she loses the nomination, it appears from her rhetoric that she and Bill might support McCain in the general election.
As a woman near her age, I truly believe that Hillary is going through menopause. Her mood swings are becoming increasingly evident and frightening. Raging one moment (shame on you, Barack) and conciliatory and giddy the next. She is not the person you want to have protecting you because you don't know what mood she will be in when the crisis hits.
Both Bill and Hillary seem to be hung up on this "shame on you" thing. I wonder why?
Hilary is a TRAITOR to the Democrat Party. Can we expect any different behavior from her if she were to becomp POTUS. The next thing she'd be doing is asking Vlad the Impaler to help us run our government.
As a woman nearly her age I truly believe that HIllary is going through menopause. She is raging one moment (shame on you, barack) and conciliatory the next. Her mood swings are frightening and increasingly evident. She will be a danger to the United States and the world if she is elected president.
Nearly her age.
But even close to her in brain cells.
Clearly
"I was there.... I said: 'Bill, the phone is ringing. Bill, the phone is ringing...
I would love to see someone pose the following question to Hillary Clinton:
If Barack Obama were the nominee, would you support John McCain over Senator Obama since you think McCain is more qualified?
She has already answered this question with a resounding yes.... Yet Obama has not done the same for her - and Specifically his wife has said 'she'd have to think about it'
Uniters not dividers..
She did not say he was "more" qualified. Run the tape. Get your facts straight.
And she's already said she would support the eventual nominee of the Democratic Party. Contrast that with, "I'll have to think about that" from Michelle Obama.
The fact that you all accuse Hillary of having no concern for the unity of the Party is a testament to delusion.
This is why I love Keith Olbermann, he is the ONLY one in the MSM who will report the obvious, and tell it like it is. He was never one to be afraid of the Republicans, and he sure as hell isn't going to be afraid of Hillary's whining or SNL and their stupid ass anti-reality skits.
I love Keith too...i've left work and church early juss to hear/watch him!
.Clinton - what a PUNK! The idea that she would praise McCain at Obama's expense is outrageous. She isn't a Democrat, she is a GOLDWATER GIRL, and her stripes don't change. DON'T VOTE FOR A STEALTH REPUBLICAN!
.
Hillary is NOT a stealth Republican. She is an overt neocon. She has voted for the Iraq War, for Kyl-Lieberman, for cluster bombs, for the bankrupcy bill, etc. etc. There is no difference between Hillary and Lieberman. Hillary is a Lieberman in a pantssuit.
.
Hillary Clinton is the Rethug Wet Dream. So many people hate the Clintons, and now her endorsement of McCain--what a dip shit she is. She's giving women a bad name. She's clearly insame--not just menopausal, which makes you slightly insane.
I am sick of her nastiness--her entitlement. That crap about putting Obama on the ticket. He's ahead of you in delegates, idiot. God, I even gave Bill lots of dough for his campaign in 1992, but now--I just want them to slink off and let our country get our shit together.
Hillary is BUSH IN A DRESS! No class. No conscience. And an ego-maniac as well.
Hillary: GO AWAY before you destroy the Democratic Party's chance to take the White House and Congress. You are not entitled to be president. EVER.
Obama has the support and counsel of three extremely intelligent, self-made, beautiful women. Looks are not a prerequisite, but tell a story when compared to the despicable, flourescent complexion, slovenly, Turd Blossom II that is Mark Penn. And Howard, I'm afraid of planes, heights, people and wide open spaces, "the sweater" Wolfson. Something tells me these guys didn't get laid till they paid for it and hate strong, intelligent women. That's why they support the gutter-snipe, political weather vane, Sen. Clinton. If women voted with their heads, and not some nostalgia induced amnesia, the Dem party would be united, and we could be dissecting McLame and the Bush terror administration. Instead, we're tearing down the single most unifying candidate in the Dem party since, well before I was born, and we're watching a Lieberman like shill prop up fearmongering, and perpetual war, both abroad, and at home. Thanks WalMart Voters!!
"Instead, we're tearing down the single most unifying candidate in the Dem party since, well before I was born"
Doesn't say much for his power to unite if he can be so easily torn apart. And I don't shop at WalMart. Sorry to interrupt your Obagasm.
Hillary Clinton needs to go away..
she needs to away where all the other monsters are
I began to watch Keith Olbermann when I no longer could endure the support of President Bush and his Iraq war (you know the one Clinton authorized) ... he has always stood up and spoken truth to power ... his comments are the closest thing we have to Edward R. Murrow at the juncture in history ... and I was so please last night to see him standing up to the Clinton scorched earth and lie machine ...
He is able to see past the obfuscations and repugnant games that the Clinton's seem to like to play (as in now the fun begins) ... I, for one am grateful to him again for bringing out the truth behind the Clintonian hypocrisy
I know it's like talking to a wall, but here goes. She did not promote McCain's presidency. She said he had more international experience. She did not say it had proven to make him wiser or that his policies about international affairs would be superior.
If you want to parse her words your way, then you should admit when Barack spoke of Reagan's vision and lasting impression and his being a candidate of ideas that he was praising Reagan and saying that those were good ideas and vision. You should have to admit that, but you won't. You prefer myth to fact, drama to good government.
Jake-get some self respect-yes she did. I know it is hard to believe your candidate did that-but she did.
You are AWARE of her Republican voting record.
And can you explain why she LIED about the Canada NAFTA dirty trick??? To get Ohio votes???
You are AWARE that it was the Hillmonsgter that did it not Obama.
Jake places head in sand....
BS - Obama got himself in trouble... did you NOT see his first real press conference on the subject - Deer-caugh
This guy is not ready for prime time. She's pointing it out.
Olberman's numbers are in the tank almost as badly as he is in the tank for Obama. Faux News still beats him 5-1 in his timeslot. He used to represent himself as quasi-unbiased - now he's just a schill.
There is a reason why Obama lost Ohio and Texas, people are realizing Obama's arrogance and emptiness.
Obama's going to lose Men in droves now, because they do not like to be led around by the likes of KO and the MSM. He's toast...ju
I'll watch KO - just like I watch everyone so I can get varying points of view, but I'll always and forever regard him as a partisan with a clear agenda, and everything he says has to be filtered by that knowledge.
Jake-
The NAFTA dirty trick-you did read up on that didn't you. You do know that it was a Clintonian/Rovian dirty trick LIE.
How do you support traitorous Liars?
Dont we all deserve more?
Her speech was and is indefensible. Just because she does not say it implicitly doesn't mean that she is not saying she would root for McCain over Obama.
Clinton does not deserve being the Democratic Standard Bearer!!!
Obviously you need to clean your ears and listen to what Hillary actually said. Then, I would suggest you find the interview with Obama in Nevada and read the whole interview. I would suggest you do this with an open mind rather than making excuses for Hillary.
What is the "Obama threat"? Is it because he is calling on the actual people rather than lobbyists, international businesses, or weathly contributors, to stand up and take back their country? Does this mean Hillary and Bill can't deliver on the backroom deals they made? What is the purpose of "no you can't" if is isn't spitting in the face of the American public?
You're right, Jake. It's like talking to a wall. But nice try, buddy.
he and his comrades thought it was over but the voters made them look foolish again ...now they are trying a new strategy .....BASH CLINTON lol it wont work keith ....onlt gets her more voters
You mean the facts should be ignored? Or what about what he said about NAFTAgate that it was Clinton Campaign not Obama's campaign that called Canada. The Canadian media is running with it,but other than Keith, he is the only with a backbone to talk about it here
bringing up lieberman was great ....obama the uniter went against the party and camaigned for traitor joe and endorsed him after he was rejected by the dems in primary...
Bash Clinton? Are you paying attention?
