Steve Doocy Blasts Keith Olbermann: "A Guy Who Picks On People's Children"

And the Fox News-MSNBC Feud continues. This morning on "Fox & Friends," co-host Steve Doocy blasted Keith Olbermann for naming his son, Peter, Worst Person in the World.

"I have a problem with Keith Olbermann," Steve Doocy said. "Keith Olbermann made my son the world's worst person. How can you make a kid the world's worst person?" Doocy asked. "Next time you see Keith Olbermann on TV, just remember: that is a guy who picks on people's children. He completely sandbagged my son, took his comments out of context, and mangled them around the way he does every night. And I am mad at Keith Olbermann."

Watch:

The younger Doocy gained notoriety when, during the "Hardball" College Tour at Villanova, he asked John McCain whether Hillary Clinton had a drinking problem. His father congratulated him on "Fox & Friends" the following morning, but Olbermann was less forgiving, saying of Peter:

"Wow! Wonder which emotion impacts dad more at this moment, pride that at 20 years old, the boy is already a completely replaceable cog in the vast Rupert Murdoch media manipulation machine, or buyer's remorse when he gets the bill from college and realizes the kid's mind has already been nailed shut?"

this is part of the White House / Fox News assault on NBC/MSNBC.
Fox's support of HRC is part of a planned assault on Obama. Look at the Clinton Camp parroting the Fox news assertion that they are more fair then MSNBC, they are being used as dupes. They dont mind because they have a free launch pad for Obama attacks.
Step one is to discredit NBC\MSNBC.
Fox wants Obama to loose the primary, or rough him up enough to tank in the general election. They have been talking for 8 years how they want HRC to run for president because it will gift wrap the white house for them for another 4 years.
Just ask yourself why would Roger Ailes want HRC to be the Dem. Nominee if they thought she could win. Fox's attack machine has tunred 180 since Jan '08.

Steve Doocy is such a hypocrite! I watched his tirade against Keith Olbermann picking on his son just five minutes after he scolded Michelle Obama, saying that she shouldn't put herself in the spotlight if she can't take the heat! Did I mention that Steve Doocy is a hypocrite?!

Once again Keith hit the nail on the head, hey the truth hurts don't it Doocy?

Actually Doocey is telling the truth. Besides that, Olbermann talks about taking a woman (Hillary) in a room and having her beat-up. Just how sick and jealous is this man?

I believe this is called the "You Can't Hit Me Back 'Cause I'm A Girl/Wearing Glasses" defense.the guy sent his kid out there to do his dirty work the same way Bill-O sends out that mentally handicapped fellow to do his Mike Wallace style ambush journalism.here's a suggestion for Bill-O and Steve La Douche:Next Time Do It Yourself!

public-relationswise, this is a trial balloon for the tactic of ma mccain shaking her finger at keith or chris or somebody about coming after johnny, her son, as an a) war hero, b) old guy, c) father, d) senator, e) frequent flier, f) middle east expert, g) all of the above.
ma mccain can't tour to any extent; but at exactly the right moment, an interjection from her- especially directed at the press- might deflect a real javelin from john. note that ms. cindy mccain responded to ms obama- not mccain or a male surrogate.

Dubya is G H W Bush's child, so, now we can't complain about him, either?

As far as I'm concerned this is a compliment to Keith Olbermann!!

Wonder if he was even a teensy bit upset when the right wing went after 12 year old Graeham Frost in the S-CHIP flak.

The right wing thought the 12 year old was fair game then.
After all, he went public.

Dear Crybaby:

Why is your son a KID, but my son a MAN who turned 20 in Baq'uba (that's in Eye-Rack, an oil rich country in the Middle East. Your hated minority political party is forcing our country's military to destroy itself in a war-for-profit over there, you may have HEARD of it as well as just supported it on TV for monetary gain).

Why is your son safe in his 'ittle bed, while my son is a young soldier fit to die, lose limbs and brain function, or have his face and hands burned off, in YOUR weak, selfish son's elective war? Why is your kid a poor baby, and mine a grownup for whom nothing is asking too much?

Why?

Since when is one 20-year-old too tender to withstand verbal criticism for his own actions on the grownup stage, while the other is fit to withstand140-degree heat, bathe in poisonous (KBR) water, suffer electrocution in (KBR) showers, buy his own equipment, and return to war with PTSD relabeled "adjustment disorder" so he can be stop-lossed until he dies?

With all the parents who have children the age of your crybaby son fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, or already killed, or maimed in your beloved dictator's war, why aren't you embarrassed to death to whine about Olbermann, who was on-target about your ridiculous son except for not stating the case strongly enough?!

Why are you chickenhawks never embarrassed?

you have to remember that 20 is 7 in chickenhawk years.
