Meet Jeff Barth — He May Have Just Made the ‘Greatest Political Ad Ever’

Media ‘Just Another Fox News Bigot’: Did Olbermann Pull a Rick Sanchez on O’Reilly?

Keith Olbermann refused to be left out of the O’Reilly/“View” incident yesterday. Making sure to add his opinion regarding the “walk-off” tirade of Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, Olbermann named Bill O’Reilly the “worst person” in America.

But Olbermann didn‘t just scold and mock O’Reilly, he pulled a Rick Sanchez and used the “B” and “I” words:

Lost in that, of course, is that Bill O., without benefit of a script, revealed himself to be just another Fox News bigot, and Islamophobe.

Mediaite’s Glenn Davis is flabbergasted by the claim:

Is that enough to reasonably call him a “bigot and Islamophobe”? Of course not. As we said before, unless you’re a truther, the statement “Muslims killed us on 9/11″ is technically true at a basic, and yes, dangerously oversimplified level. … O’Reilly’s sentence lacked nuance, but it wasn’t bigoted, nor did it prove Islamophobia

Olbermann also used the segment to take a pot shot at Glenn Beck, saying that O’Reilly is “just parroting Gretchen Carlson and Glenn Beck over there”:

    ABC, Do you realize what a puffed up , arrogant , smug, condescending babbling blowhard you sound like? GIVE IT A REST!!!!! You’re not going to convince anybody here with those long winded diatribes. Can’t you present an argument without writing a doctoral thesis? GET A LIFE already!!!!!!!!

    Speaking fractionally, Obermann does have viewers. As compared to ANYONE at Fox, he‘s so far down the list he’s not worth mentioning. And it’s no wonder. His program is of no value as a news source because you can get everything he’s going to talk about in five minutes on dozens of much better web sites. He‘s an ’opinionator’ and since his opinions are way outside the mainstream in America he will never have many viewers.

    Olberman should thank God (or Whomever) for Glenn Beck and Fox. The only time anyone watches him is when he’s referenced there. Perhaps with some coaching by real talent and a major marketing overall of MSNBC, Olberman could work his way up to “irrelevant.”

    I just looked at the poll results at RCP . I do hope someone here can in a serious way change my mind.I dont see this big wave that is suppose to happen meaning very much.Yes I believe the numbers in the house may change but so what? I think the big story is how close the races are. How is it possible that Reid and others are not behind by at least 10 percent. Sure a few Dems are behind by 15 percent + or – but more republicans then democrats are losing by this margin.I would think that due to the circumstances the house and senate would end up with at least a 55 conserv. to 45 percent lib. split. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that the real story is not that the conserv. will make sort of a comeback but that the elections are in general close. I think that in general we as a country are split 50/50 and I think that is very bad.Looking at history I believe that could really mean a shooting civil war in the future. Please make me believe that I am an uneducated idiot who did not go to college,[which I didnt although I believe I could write a 10,000 word essay supporting my position on this subject] Make no mistake I in no way want this to happen or believe it is a foregone conclusion..

      nope, you got it right. The tea party is diluting the republican party and like my not-so-buddy Rove pointed out, we need a solid majority behind the republicans for this to mean anything. I like O’Donnell despite the smear campaign (same as what happened to Palin) by the MSM but without solid candidates (despite what that means) the republicans aren‘t going to landslide enough to stop the bleeding that’s being caused by the progressive democrats…

    PS, I asked Olbermann yesterday on Twitter:

    From @SalvusUsa:
    @KeithOlbermann is just another #communist media drone http://bit.ly/cHuTdk #ishestillevenalive #tcot #teaparty

    From @KeithOlbermann
    @SalvusUsa OMG somebody – apparently a grown-up – who still sees Communists under their bed! Buy a nightlife, Sonny

    From @SalvusUsa:
    @KeithOlberman doesn’t believe “Muslims killed Americans on 9/11″, who did it Keith? I’d like an answer.

    Again From @SalvusUsa:
    Typical! No response to a valid question to @KeithOlbermann. Just an attempt to bash. I take your silence to mean you have no answer. #LOSER

    From @KeithOlbermann
    @SalvusUsa Sorry. Nobody could take you seriously if you throw the word “Communist” around. Buy a friggin’ calendar. Bye.

    This is the kind of loser the liberals/communists follow. I must apologize for using the “#loser” hashtag. I am just so angry at the fatuous, and belligerent attitudes espoused by the left-wing media.

    Soon after the exchange, Olbermann’s 3 groupies started to join in. Who really ever watches this guy? I am just flabbergasted.

    Why do you people talk with idiots like ABC? Clearly he has no idea what he’s talking about. Islam teaches its followers to lie in the name of Islam: http://www.muslimfact.com/bm/terror-in-the-name-of-islam/islam-permits-lying-to-deceive-unbelievers-and-bri.shtml What other religion accepts lying as a tenet of their faith? Given this documented fact, it is clear that the lies muslim’s lies have been accepted as truth by people like ABC. Indeed thousands of American’s now believe that Islam is a peaceful religion.

    Islam is evil. It is a lie. It must be exposed for what it is. I would not say that all Muslims are liars or ready to join the jihad. Those Muslim’s who believe their is a peaceful side to Islam are practicing in good faith. The religion itself is a wicked lie and most of its followers are evil, hateful, intolerant and deceitful.

    Should we should tolerate a “peaceful” practice of Islam? Suppose those “moderate muslims” were to stand up, in public, and denounce the “extremists” and their jihad? First, tell me when and where you’ve seen that happen, ever? Even if it were to happen, how can anyone accept it since their own holy book teaches them to lie in order to further the spread of Islam?
    Call me any name you want. Label me all day long. The fact is I refuse to ignore the truth. Yes, I hate Islam because it preaches war and lies. No, I do not hate muslims as a whole because some of them have likely been deceived. Am I a bigot because I hate an idea?

    Are all muslims liars? Probably not, but how can anyone trust them, even when they tell the truth? Any argument to the contrary is simply inane babbling.

    If Olberwoman had called Stewart a bigot he’d be in trouble. He’s exempted from normal rules because it was a conservative he was making outrageous accusations against.

    It’s absolutely hilarious to listen to the starry-eyed, MSheepleNBC, CNN and liberal wannabe cable channel malcontents, like Olberwomann, stumble over their tongues as they bleat and spew their accolades for the pretender in chief, while maligning any and everything that doesn’t support their myopic viewpoint or elitist, socialist agenda! As far as the liberal spokesworms go: Matthews, Maddow, Ed (is that like Prince?), etc., and Olbermann in particular, ALL tragically hide behind a pretense of self-ordained superiority and faux-intellectuality, though deep down you can tell they’re all insecure little people that lack any conviction about what they think they know (meaning what the teleprompter tells them). That whole liberetarded mob is a sad parody of sniveling whiners living vicariously through internally fabricated facades of exaggerated self-importance and feigned hubris (now have someone laugh off camera, so we can be told what’s funny while smugly mooning the camera…Rachel? Keith? Ed?), deplorable in that it’s a shared attitude among liberals, progressives and supporters of their illogical, irrational, ridiculous political ideology! At least the FOX crowd and the TEA Party seems to genuinely care about America! The liberal mob and the weak minded cronies that actually watch Olbermann, etc., are only interested in satisfying their own limited political scope at the cost of liberty and by doing so have been reduced to sardonic, sanctimonious shills whose only pathetic professional recourse and purpose in life is castigating FOX News and futilely trying to lambaste conservatives…epic fail!

    I can fathom what Olberman’s motive is that he wants to show the world he is a betrayor of American and of all that is right. He is nothing but a loud mouth phoney that is sucking up to the left Well, he can have them as they along with this fool are going to slip away soon back into the cracks in the wall they came from. Bill O’ Reilly is without a bodacious and sometimes condenscending person but he usually hits the truth right on the nose. We must stop all this politically correct crap and speak our peace. If the terrorists happent to be moslems, than that’s the way it is Olberman. You are such a bonehead I can’t believe some of the sewage that comes out of your filthy mouth. Is your whole family children included socialists ? Do you actually go home to a communist family at night and bash FOX news people all together. I sure hope you don’t home school your kids if you really have any. You should be ashamed of yourself because I am. Ultimately you will be just another one of those screwed up liberal socialists that will simply be washed away with the tide and forgotten in history.

    Just glad odormann is not on espn. I switch from Bill to keeth during Bills commercial breaks which are roughly the same time as keeths just to make sure that my friends, family, and work asociates do not patronize the sponsors of countdown. Saw the news clip on Petrovic, the great Croatian basketball player, with obermann. Actually, He is even more of a joke today.

    I’ve always wished that MSNBC would have a camera shot of Olberman walking off set at the end of his show. That way we could see what style of DRESS he is wearing. But I still think that Rachel Maddcow has better looking sideburns.

    Can Kieth O have at least one show where he doesn’t refer to FOX? What a whiney azz,he tries to act like a non progressive just a well informed intellectual with his comments. He is not as humorous as the Ed show where he declares he is progressive and a liar! Kieth would be in jail if he today did what he did when at 17 he molested his 9yr. old cousin,it’s true I read it on the internet-ha not funny,google it!
