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.

Is it becoming obvious that Clinton is a closet Republican, or is it just me? She sure seems to reach out more to Republicans than she does to Democrats. As a liberal Democrat, I just don't trust her. She's not getting my vote. At least with Obama, I know where he's coming from.
no, its not just you gettysberg
"[Hillary Rodham] volunteered for Republican candidate Barry Goldwater in the U.S. presidential election of 1964. Her early political development was shaped most strongly by her energizing high school history teacher, who got her to read Goldwater's classic The Conscience of a Conservati

Thanks, Keith! Thanks for being the only one with some balls and willing to take her on!
I'm glad that somebody in the media notices the WRONGS done in this campaign. Olberman is also the only one that's corrected the Canada Nafta story to his viewers -- it was Hillary's camp that told Canada not to worry about campaign talk of changing NAFTA....n
Thank you Keith
That it was Hillary's camp that talked to Canada is not true. THAT is why there is no "correction" in the media. Not even Canadian media has said that.
There is a memo about the meeting between Obama's guy and the Canadians. It's documented. It's a FACT that the meeting took place. And it's a FACT that Obama said the meeting didn't happen.
Please refrain from spreading more lies about NAFTA-gate.
Vanessa:
The meeting described in the original Canadian piece was not true - Obama's reprepresentative met with the Canadian representative to Chicago or something like that, not the Prime Minister. And then his comments were distorted (according to the Canadians).
But Clinton's people approached the Canadians, while the Canadians approached Obama's campaign.
Please refrain from spreading more lies about NAFTA-gate.
He's over the top, in my opinion. The message was quite clear that Hillary is saying that there is a threshhold, over which she and McCain have passed.
I heard her comments and did not feel she was complimenting McCain as much as underscoring the issue of experience, which is her key message to Democrats.
She is making her case that she is the candidate who can best compete against McCain.
Yes, and having tea and cookies with first ladies all over the world is a heck of a qualification.
You're forgetting the time when she single handedly liberated Kosovo with the bravery and courage of Sinbad and Sheryl Crow at her side. She passed the "threshold" when she stopped the tank in Tienenman Square, and put a Daisy in the gun that almost killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand that would have started WWI. What world are you Hillary Haters living in? I'm off to watch the View, to get all I need to know about the world.
As Keith has said:
Hillary has, in fact, ENDORSED McCain.
Hillary has, in fact, made a case that Laura Bush should be running.
Obama should announce.
"It's official. I AM the Democratic Party Nominee! Hillary has endorsed the Republican candidate John McCain. Perhaps she'll we be joining his ticket soon!"
Uh- yeah, so when McCain takes the presidency, what are you going to say?
Your candidate is a traitor Ann-campaigning for McCain. Supporting a REPUBLICAN. Are you a lying republican too> I have always thought you were.
The only threshold she and McCain have passed is the WARMONGER threshold. When someone praises a candidate in the opposition party and damns a candidate for the same office from his/her party, that person is a MONSTER.
Keith Olberman, you are my hero.
More so than Bill Maher (who has disparaged Howard Dean and Obama) in the past.
Only man on TV worth listening to.
So........
Thoughts like that scare me.
They're both worth listening to because as a rule they don't let ANYONE get a free pass, whether it's my candidate of choice or not.
Side note: I wish Olberman would call out Matthews for his stupid comments!
I agree ragtopdodg
Once again, Keith is the only one talking sense on tv.
It's unfathomable to me that she would say such a thing. She's loaded McCain's cannon against both she and Obama. The GOP is already ridiculing her claim to be fit to be commander in chief and they are gloating now that they can claim even Democrats believe Obama unfit to lead as commander in chief. It's an absurd statement for her to have made, but it simply goes to prove that she doesn't give a hoot about who wins in November if it isn't her. Her lack of core principles make her unfit to serve.
She's making herself look like a fool.
God beat her to it.
Thank you Keith Olberman, you seem to be the only one that confronts Hillarys complete crap spewing head on.
he is right.....
wow--good point atila--I never thought about the fact she wants mclame to win so she can run against him in 2012 (if he lives that long)
McCain's years in North VietNam are as indicative of his experience to occupy the Oval Office as Obama's years in Indonesia. As for Hillarity's sucking up to the GOP Senator from Aridzona, what would you expect from someone so morally baseless?
blubberman is the biggeset idiot on cable news.....t
cant even look at him.......
the man is totally IGNORANT
Of course, you'd be singing his praises if he had said something complimentary about Senator Clinton. Unfortunately for you, there's not much about her to compliment these days.
Nothing to backup your hateful remarks.
Go away Bill O'Reilly!
If this is the best a Hillary supporter can come up with, then Obama shouldn't worry about a darn thing.
I am looking for responsible Hillary supporters to come in and defend someone who is campaigning to carry the Democratic banner endorsing the Republican nominee.
Very thoughtful, insightful, articulate comment. Go find a blog equal to your talents.
