Hey KO fans-want to make your parents or other sober adults shoot hot coffee out of their noses? Tell them you're a Countdown fan mid sip.

[BOin08]

KO is an angry man in clown suit

[foxfan]

No. He's an angry clown in a man suit.

[BOin08]

lol..touche'

KO uses the same lame Howard Stern schtick for ratings...say outrageously stupid things and you can build a niche of crazies. Keith wouldn't sit down with his typical fan anymore than Horward. They're not crazy.

[merle7]

he is a man that tells the truth

[WilliamPilgrim]

Palin keeps bringing up Obama's middle name.
Jesus H Christ
Pssst pass it along
Jesus Hossein Christ

[tnflyboy]

I did a quick search of Sarah Palin's middle name, Louise, and found an accessory to murder in NC by the name of Louise Pollard... I've decided that any time i hear people bring up his middle name i'm going to do a quick google search on that person's middle name to show them what they're guilty of by name association.

[Probus]

Great special comment.

[spinninfree]

Fear - of these lame ramblings... please - my stop hear out of curiosity has given me a real gut wrenching laugh. Thanks from this Republican, who ultimately finds solice from the fact that others like myself don't need to pander and grovel in this type of cesspool of crap spewing. Dysfunctionality seems to be the common thread amongst liberals - which then seems to empower them to slander and bash anyone who might actually not suffer from this dysfunctional liberal malody. If there was actually anything of constructive substance in all this verboseness - there might be something of value - but as far as I can see - this appears to be a great place to catch a glimpse of the whiny - fingerpointing, namecalling and blaming - creeping malaise of liberal cancer.
If all there is to expound upon - derives itself from the media pundits like KO or Bill Maher - the value to a thinking person, be they Republican or Independent is about equal to what it costs you - NOTHING.
Sensation over substance - liberals suffer from pavlov dog syndrome - as soon as the emotional charged opinions of media's posterchildren are splattered on the ADD pascifying TV - here comes the drool and gluttony of mud slinging and name calling, accusations, blaming ... etc. Reminds me of my children when they were in their terrible 2's.

[NOOTPOSTSFORISREAL]

Are you trying to be ironic? You complain of namecalling etc. yet your post is filled with ad hominem attacks. Creeping malaise of liberal cancer? Pavlov's dog? ADD? Children in their terrible twos?

[svengalifx]

He's done better. Thought this one was too flippant which could have been it's intent. I prefer when Keith is serious during his special comments and under control.

[lib08]

I really hate to burst the ragging on Palin ... really, I do ... but I don't really agree with the association made here with Palin and Muthee, "the terrorist". Clearly they know each other but witchcraft is actually a very real and sad reality in many African countries, such as Kenya, and results in a lot of deaths. I'm not religious and I'll admit I don't know much about Muthee, but if in fact he was attempting to rid his village(s) of practitioners of witchcraft, I can't say I disagree with that. While in Mozambique, I met a wonderful young woman whose father was a witch doctor and who would practice on her. He considered her his key to success. She was covered in scars"physical and emotional. She was able to escape and make a life for herself elsewhere, but many are not as lucky. Anyway, I just don't think it's something to be scoffed at as Keith has here. He seemed really uninformed. Also - like I said, I don't know Muthee's full background, but if he was able to build himself up and make a life for himself based on his preaching, his "witch hunting", I don't see how that's any worse than what some people do here in the US to make it big. I guess it sounds good to associate Palin with that, but it just seems like a low blow, just like the Obama-terrorist thing. Can't we do better?

[NoSillyName]

Palin's religious beliefs go way beyond Casting Out Demons, to speaking in tongues, believing the world is 6K yrs. old, that dinosaurs & people coexisted, to brainwashing children to be Spiritual Warriors, in the literal sense, in so-called "Jesus Camps", etc. I'm not as concerned about Muthee being a "terrorist" as I am about Palin's hatemongering, race-baiting, and blatant lies and distortions.

[SusanLynn]

Why hasn't anyone (press +) committed on the senate bailout bill - pages 296-297. Under Title IV - Extension of Tax Administration Provisions: Sec 401 - Permanent Authority for Undercover Operations; and Sec 402 - Permanent Authority for Disclosure of Information Relating to Terrorist Activities. (a) Disclosure of Return Information to Apprise Appropriate Officials of Terrorist Activities & (b) Disclosure Upon Request of Information Relating to Terrorist Activities.

None of this seems to be related to the bailout - but it seems more related to the patriot act... Or did I misread this.

[eieio11]

Damn....you are NOTHING short of deity KO.........soooooo refreshing to have Our progressive voice restored on the airways...and you do it with substantiated facts and truths...unlike the lies and misreresentations of the karlrovian BO (PU)...and you are far more informed and articulate than he could ever hope to be.....you may have started out a sportscaster but he does not belong on the same playing field as you....you just won one for the Gipper...and I don't mean Ronald Reagan....rant over...

[BOin08]

KO's "worst person" and "special comments" rants have become a badges of honor for our political adversaries. He's become their useful idiot. Unfortunately, he's still our idiot, too-just not useful anymore.

[TEXACUTI0NER]

No it wasn't the Democratic party that made Home Ownership a right and ruined the whole free market..that was the Evil Republicans and the greedy, greedy Wall St. crowd.

Don't be silly - you silly!!

It works to sell houses to people who can't afford them, it's a great idea. We should do it some more.

[TEXACUTI0NER]

So "LightingJoe" - why don't you head on up to Canada, or perhaps Russia. America is a Democratic Republic..nevermind your opinions or my opinions, we're not a socialist country..if you think Socialism is so awesome, come out from under your rock, admit what you are and put your papers in for moving..I'm sure you can "Google" Socialist countries and pick a great one to move to. Our Constitution gives no authority to the federal government to redistribute wealth.

[Heru1]

why is your candidate redistributing wealth to forsclosed homeowners then

[TEXACUTI0NER]

Who is my candidate Heru1? Is McCain "my candidate"? Funny, I thought it was all the Independents and Democrats who crossed over during the Republican Primaries that helped put McCain up. You think we forgot about that silly silly?

I would have preferred Ron Paul, or Fred Thompson - but I'm stuck with McCain.

McCain's a good man - not necessarily a conservative. But he doesn't have to pretend to be something he's not (which is called lying) to get elected.

So I'll go with the non-liar.

The question you should be asking yourself is...Why do I want to put a lying piece of poo socialist in the Whitehouse.

And the other question...

What are you gonna buy with your first welfare check? I'm gonna get a big screen TV.

[JoeBryce]

This is quite simply the finest piece of oral advocacy I have ever heard or seen.

And it is absolutely true.

[ClintonHIllGirl]

This is a great piece on Palin. We need to know a lot more about her. It is an insult that McCain would select someone and not allow her to do open interviews with the media so that the American people can get to know who she is and were she comes from. The great thing about Obama"s campaign against Clinton was that we got to know everything about him. Whether you liked what you heard about him or not everything was put out there. We need to know everything about Palin and this is a great beginning.

[TEXACUTI0NER]

Oh yea...we really got to know EVERYTHING didn't we...

Keep drinking that Kool Aid. OH YEA!!

[TommyJohn]

You can hear better orator in the ladies' room.

Will KO have a special comment on this:

"The 'New Party' was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards." (http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/10/web-archives-confirm-barack-obama-was.html)

You can find the above quote from the scubbed New Party web page at this Internet Archive Organization link (http://web.archive.org/web/20010306031216/www.newparty.org/up9610.html). More confirmation of Obama's membership in the New Party can be found at an article in the November 1996 Progressive Populist magazine (http://www.populist.com/11.96.Edit.html)

Barack Obama is not just LIBERAL...he's a SOCIALIST!

[LightningJoe]

Time to put your socialist-bashing to bed, dude. You have nothing to stand on. Sure, some of Obama's proposals involve sharing America's (vast) resources among some of those who've been left behind by Capitalism, but there is nothing unAmerican about that.

It's the essence of governance, to use the people's pooled resources to do things that no individual person has the private resources to do (in this light, waging war is the essence of socialism!). When you rail against the very concept of socialism, you argue against any common undertaking. This includes such niceties as the interstate highway system, bridges, dams, national parks, the Army, Navy, and USMC, the Coast Guard, Police, Fire stations, etc. Tell me the last time you spent your own money directly on those causes (Policeman's Ball tickets don't count), and I'll let you off the hook.

The big "socialism scare" tactic relies on forgetting how much of our very civilization is based on cooperation, both of effort and of resource.

The Soviet Union bunged it up, of course, but that doesn't mean that sharing our resources is inherently bad, any more than the current Wall Street bung-up means that Capitalism is inherently evil. It just means you have to use the tool that fits.

[TEXACUTI0NER]

Dude. Socialism caused the bung up on Wall Street. Socialism is bailing out Wall Street. Socialism is a disease. It ruins everything it touches..

Ha ha...I'm just kidding. I LOVE SOCIALISM. IT'S A HOOT. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY FREE HEALTHCARE...MY FREE OTHER STUFF...MY FREEBY WEEBIES...

I'm gonna put my hand in a meat grinder...and you're gonna pay me to sit on my butt and watch Opera and the View...it's gonna be awesome..although..I'm thinking..maybe it'll be my foot instead..that way I can play Video Games also. Gears of War 2 is coming out, and by the time Barry gets it all straightened for me...maybe Gears of War 3 will be hitting the shelves.

Awesome.
