Olbermann Implies That John McCain Is A Racist
Newsbusters caught Olbermann being a real idiot again. Basically accusing John McCain of being a racist…
On his April 8 “Countdown,” host Keith Olbermann smeared Iraq war veteran David Bellavia as a racist:
OLBERMANN, from the April 8 “Countdown” opening credits: Nothing obscure about this: Racism as a Republican campaign plank. Sen. McCain introduced at a rally on Capitol Hill.”
BELLAVIA, introducing then hugging McCain: You can have your Tiger Woods. We’ve got Sen. McCain.
OLBERMANN: Did he actually just say that? And why did McCain then embrace him?
Bellavia is running as a Republican for Congress in upstate New York and is pitted against another Iraq veteran, Democratic nominee Jon Powers, in that contest. Olbermann turned to liberal professor Michael Eric Dyson to sanction Olbermann’s specious charge that the McCain campaign is racist:
OLBERMANN: When you hear something said like that, is intent impossible to calculate? And does it even matter? Is the idea behind the remarks the same regardless of the intent?
DYSON: Well, my pastor used to say, look, a mosquito’s intent is only to get blood from you, but the consequence, it could give you malaria. So at that level, the intent will never exhaust the consequence. The consequence here is huge. Now, we can’t discern the person’s intent, it may have been fine, but that’s even more problematic. If there was no specific and particular and conscious intent to do harm, that means that this grows out of a pattern of habit. That it’s just a natural reflex, and that one, you know, interchangeable African-American multi-racial person is as good as the other, or they’re indistinguishable…
In other words, forget intent and context. If it’s thoughtless it betrays a “pattern of habit” or “natural reflex.” I guess that’s just like Olbermann associating a black athlete with a dish popular in soul food restaurants or associating Gov. Bill Richardson with guacamole.

Since “he-who-has-no-ratings” is implyimg things. Should I imply that Overbite is a useless ass lib? Or should I just come out and say it?
April 9th, 2008 at 4:07 pmKeith Olbermann is an apparatchik for the far left of the democratic party. He is a disgrace to his network and to his alumni at his precious Prep school in Tarrytown. I hope to run in to him at a Hackley reunion and deck his sorry ass.
April 9th, 2008 at 5:01 pmWhen Gibby calls him “Bathtub Boy” is he refering to the famous “Tub Girl” ? Kinda fits, but probably not.
April 9th, 2008 at 5:06 pmOlberdork is a psycho ass gay boy.
April 9th, 2008 at 10:02 pmwhat the fuck?
April 10th, 2008 at 2:44 amMark,
After you deck him, give him a swirlie and stuff him into a locker. Olbermann is a total pickle smoocher.

I wish other Repubs wd remind the Dhimms, and the media, of Dhimm history now and then…
April 10th, 2008 at 6:32 amBTW, Glenn Beck has Dave Bellavia and Marcus Latrelle on right now, DB gave the full context of this “incident,” suffice to say Keith O. is a poison-hearted moron.
