Hi Keith Olberman! Welcome to DU!
However, I know you have been lurking here for a long time. Your tin-foil hat statement tonight, in its context, enlightened me. I always hoped you lurked here. Now I know.

2. Does anyone care to clarify this reference?
Did Olberman post as Olberman?

Did he reference and quote DU on Countdown?

The post piqued my interest, someone please enlighten me.

3. hello Keith Olbermann
i don't really watch your show, but i wish there were more like it rather than the right wing whore crap that takes up most of the space on news, especially cable news.

4. How about the picture of Moran last night?
He or his staff. Why not he's as curious as we are, I think.

6. What was the statement?
And btw, I've thought so too (that he lurks here). There are just tooooo many things that he has picked up on or mentioned in passing that are being said/covered right here at DU.

8. Sorry ..
No, Olberman came out with some extremely DU-ish comments tonight .. thus my taunt. I have no direct evidence that Keith is here, but I believe that he is. Monitoring, anyway. Conduct yourselves accordingly, as my mother would say. Clean underwear, fresh breath, and get the tenses straight, fer Christ's sake!

9. I'm sure that either he or a staff member lurks on DU
I've noticed during the campaign that once DU started to buzz on a random subject the Countdown would mention it or give it a story before any other MSM show would.

They are using DU as a resource to see what people are buzzing about and to uncover some news stories I think. That's why his ratings are probably increasing too.

10. That Moran Picture Was Too Much!
But they do have a site that you can get a T-Shirt and/or Bumper sticker that says Four Moron Years with the face of The Idiot on it!

I'm ordering!

14. Smirking Chimp was real fond of that Moran picture too
Either way--I love that he's either checking us out or someone on his staff is. And because there aren't any in this thread----:loveya:

21. I Wonder If El-Smirkle-Roy
ever caught on!

Keith, we KNOW you must be here somewhere... I SAW the face you made when Craig Crawford asked you to "come on down" for the BIG Party!!

So from me to you... you're the ONLY one I watch at MSNBC EVERY night! I used to look forward to Tweety, BUT??? As you would say, Oh Well!!! Other than that, it's DU for me and all my email connections.

I've peeked in on Tweety occasionally since the election, and he seems to be asking SOME questions, but despite what he calls his "hardball" image, he's really way way too SOFT!!

Money can buy a lot! I don't think I've heard him (Tweety) talk about ARMSTRONG any... only DAN!! So, that says a LOT!

Keith, you can make a home here with us, anytime!!!

16. Hi Keith! LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!!
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 09:39 PM by tandot
You have the best real news show ever (Jon Stewart, of course, is the best in "fake" news...sorry!).

Keep on going. Just ignore those right-wing morons (or morans) who constantly bombard you with nasty emails and complaints. It seems these people who call themselves "Patriotic" and us "un-American" hate everything our great country stands for. They especially hate Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.

America needs people like you. :hi:

on edit:
I totally agree with skittles...you are a real cutie!

17. Reading this thread
...Reminded me of Dennis Hopper's photojournalist in Apocoplypse Now.

Did you know that IF is a middle word in LIFE, if you can keep your head when all about you, losing theirs and blaming it on you if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,I mean I know I can't...I'm a little man, I'm a little man..he's..he's a great man...

What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans? That he had wisdom?

20. I thought the "Tin Foil" hat originated with Oberman
I thought the "Tin-foil" hat statement originated with Oberman a while back. I think people from here visit his blog and e-mail him and that is how he gets a feel for his audience.

But, anywho. Hi Keith if your here.:loveya:

22. Nah
The "Tin-Foil Hat Club" has been in existence here at DU long before Olbermann's show existed. Ditto for the :tinfoilhat: avatar.

Olbermann still rocks, though.

23. Keith Olberman is the ONLY MSM news show I can stomach...
The rest are a bunch of primped-up tarts well past their sell-by date...

A breath of fresh air, non-conformist, and laced with the appropriate amount of cynicism, sarcasm and dis-belief at what is going on all around us...

Informative, entertaining and non-biased...What a concept....

Thanks for being you Keith...keep up the good work...

Cheers!
