[AntiFascist]

Can't wait. That is all.

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. A special comment by whom? On what issue?

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. Keith...

on the implosion of the Clinton campaign.

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Ah, right.

I'd know that if I actually watched television.

[ariesgem]

7. A special comment about the Clinton campaign. nt

[TahitiNut]

8. Olberman: "Special comment regarding the campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton" ... tomorrow night.

:popcorn:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Woo hoo!

:woohoo:

[kid a]

3. i know! ny tivo is set already!! woot

[LisaM]

4. Of all the pieces of self-important puffery, those special comments have to be the worst.

I have never liked them, they are SO-O-O pretentious. Keith Olbermann is not Edward R. Murrow, no matter how much he pretends that he is.

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. ...

:cry:

[AntiFascist]

13. Perhaps they are a bit biased...

but they are oh so necessary in order to offset Faux Noise and the CNN Spin Cycle.

[movonne]

14. specially since he is not a hillary fan...

[TahitiNut]

18. ....

[montanacowboy]

19. Nope,

he is better than Murrow! Sorry

[Hepburn]

21. Sour grapes much?

[TahitiNut]

24. Indeed. It seems some DUers have climbed aboard the Aesop Express

:rofl:

[LisaM]

25. No, I have NEVER liked his special comments.

I think they're stupid. That quivering voice, the Murrow imitation, the, "YOU-U-U-U SIR HAVE YOU NO SHAME" meme, over and over and over. It makes him seem kind of silly.

[AntiFascist]

27. Excellent artwork! Can I borrow it for use in this forum?

It's on par with Swampie's potato head, but I won't display the potato here because Tim Russert was rather good tonight.

[DearAbby]

23. One moment please.....

While I point and laugh


that is all....carry on

[TahitiNut]

(snort)

:rofl:

[IndianaGreen]

45. I am sure that Bill-O feels the same as you do

OTOH, I am looking forward to watching Keith defend freedom and democracy once again!

[Johnny__Motown]

6. I can't wait either... gonna be great

[Window]

28. Popcorn ready!!!!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Kittycat]

9. I can't wait. Keith is always right on, and he's the only one to just lay it out

Unlike most pundits.

[Perky]

12. Betcha is about Clinton staying in the race.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. The scorn of Keith is damning to anyone that gets it

Obama is gonna be on at 10 eastern with Twitty tonight.

[walldude]

16. LMAO.. I never thought I'd see

Olbermann Special Comment and EWWWWWWWWW! In the same thread title. I can't wait to see the backlash tomorrow... It'll be another laughable attempt to convince all us cultists that we have erred in our ways and should stop following all the sheep in the media.

[AntiFascist]

20. My EWWW was sarcastic...

or perhaps like Homer Simpson wanting beer....not that I'm anything like Homer Simpson....never mind...

[walldude]

32. Yeah I know...

I thought it was hilarious, because if a Hillary supporter posted it it would have been serious. Sorry if I gave the impression I didn't agree.. :toast:

[AntiFascist]

33. Cheers!

:toast: :beer:

[montanacowboy]

17. Keith will tear them a new one

I cannot wait for this one. I sick to death of the Clintons and with Geraldine's enlightening comments they have turned off 99 percent of the blacks; do they think they can win without them? Stupid fucking greedy assholes. They know no limits to what they say or do and will continue for the next SIX weeks with this shit.

[Norwood]

22. Very nice should be a good one!

Go Keith!

[McCamy Taylor]

26. KO is committing political suicide in order to help the Democratic Party self destruct. Lovely.

Can Howard Dean and Al Gore and John Edwards and the sensible people in the Party sit down with Obama and Clinton and force them to stop the name calling? No more "monster" no more "you are using the race card" no more "no, you are using the race card", no more quoting Drudge and the Moonies and Fox as if they are reliable sources about anything, no more blaming candidates for what surrogates say when it is the MSM which cherry picks only the inflammatory things out of what a gazillion people are saying to exploit.

I say it is political suicide because KO's strongest fan base has been the KO estrogen brigade, but they will choose Hillary over him. He does not keep up with the news. We all saw that when he let Lawrence O'Donnell on his show after he wrote "John Edwards is a loser" KO is not aware of all the stuff that Media Matters has documented. He has no idea of the backstory behind all the smears about both of the candidates. He wastes too much time on sports.

I am beginning to think that maybe KO needs to decide which it will be--sports or politics. Maybe it will be better for him if he does self destruct and goes back to sports only. Only it will be a loss for the Constitutional Rights movement.

[anamandujano]

29. Obama wants to play it this way. He has used it to his advantage again and again.

Why would he want to stop using the race card?

Why?

If he gets the nom, got to wonder if he's going to try it with McCain and if the MSM is going to help him spin against Hillary, like now. Doubt it.

[anamandujano]

31. PS, Keith is a pompous @ss and you are right about the so-called estrogen brigade.

[CC]

49. Some of us miss or at least one of us misses

Edwards and isn't thrilled with Hillary or Obama though I don't hate on either. I will listen to Keith's special comment and whether I agree with it or not I an NOT going to abandon him or his show over it.

[AntiFascist]

30. Maybe you should check out the KO estrogen brigade forum...

it seems like they are still going strong even with support for Obama. There are feminist activists who support Obama, you know!

[Mabus]

46. but I was only a caucus delegate in 2004

so my opinions don't matter, doncha know? :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

36. If you really think the KO Estrogen Brigade is going to abandon Keith over this

you really DO NOT KNOW the KO Estrogen Brigade. :rofl:

Quite the contrary. Quite the contrary.

[Mabus]

39. But McCamy Taylor makes such a strong argument,

NOT! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

44. Shouldn't somebody cue up a Bay Air here?

Botany!! Where are you??? :rofl:

[SharonRB]

37. Yeah, right, that'll happen

:rofl:

The entire KOEB supports Obama and there's no way they'd take Hillary over KO.

[WolverineDG]

38. Do not presume to speak for the KOEB

we are quite capable of speaking for ourselves.

dg

ps. You're wrong

[crispini]

42. POUNCE. Don't fuck with the Estrogen Brigade!

By and large, we're (mostly) Obama supporters, actually, but united in our love for KO. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

47. Nah

I was actually amazed that most of us ended up as Obama supporters. I thought as women some of us would naturally gravitate towards Hillary.

As far as I remember, none of us even tried to change each other's minds, it just happened one by one with the attrition of the other candidates.

We had DK supporters and JE supporters, but I don't think any of the regular posters ever leaned towards her as a first choice.

Speaking only for myself, she was never a choice. But it had nothing to do with Keith. My mind was made up while the field was full and Gore was still a possibility.

My take on Keith is that he follows the story, and Hillary's campaign and the way it's been run is a bigger story.

[AntiFascist]

51. Both of my senators and my representative are women...

I feel that they are all fully qualified for their job and also that they would be fully qualified to run for president. The characterization that DUers who support Obama must be sexist is getting a little old. Hillary has her own special baggage and the way she is running her campaign IS an important issue, and an important indicator for how she might function as president.

Also, welcome to the KOEB members! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

57. Why, thank you kindly!

We usually don't get out much, because... well, why bother? :)

I guess Ileana Ros-Lehtinen technically counts as a woman, but that's about all I'll spot her. :puke:

It's about time for Florida to inject some estrogen into the state's leadership. We just elected a Dem woman as Attorney General, but I would have loved to see Betty Castor as Senator.

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

55. Very well said, Patsy. And don't misunderestimate the power of estrogen!!!

:rofl:

[Peregrine Took]

34. This guy is so full of himself hes' un-watchable. What a big bore he is.

[high density]

40. Somebody on TV that is full of themselves?

Wow, that's a first!

[OzarkDem]

35. More sexist comments from Olberman

What, is he going to compare Clinton to Brittany Spears? Such a fountain of wisdom when it comes to women.

[mod mom]

41. I believe it was you who just did-give credit where credit is due.

:eyes:

I hope Hillary is worth it for you, I used to respect your judgement but now all I read is bitterness. goodbye.

[Tarheel_Dem]

43. Really? You really respected her "judgement"? She is perhaps

the most vile & racist of the Hillary supporters. Why she's escaped my Ignore button, I don't know. She's so unhinged, at times, she's almost entertaining. Good for a laugh, but not much more.

[mod mom]

50. This campaign is doing for the party what * did between Democrats & Republicans.

Aren't there any f%#!ing adults in leadership roles within the Democratic Party to say enough is enough? Hillary has alienated the Af Am base, KO and the entire staff of Air America radio show hosts, as well as Stephanie Miller and Ed Shultz. I really don't see how her motive can be anything but to destroy the entire party in hopes that McCain (whose age would only make him a one termer) is a better bet for her own selfish motives.

[Tarheel_Dem]

56. I'm right there with ya....

Randi said the same thing on the air. It's going to be difficult to defend her if she somehow winds up with the nomination, and she's not alone in that. The absolute final straw for Randi is when Hillary all but endorsed John McCain over Obama.

I don't know who puts this party back together. I wish Al Gore and/or John Edwards would come forward and say enough. I trust the judgement of those two, in a matter like this.

[Kahuna]

48. Set the DVRs, VCRs DVD recorders.. Set everything in the house..

This is gonna be good. :popcorn:

[Barack_America]

52. I missed the announcement.

Any hints regarding what this is about?

[AntiFascist]

53. I think KO said it would be directed toward the Clinton campaign...

probably has to do with their "kitchen sink" strategy.

[Barack_America]

54. Oooohhh. Exciting.

Yep, that'll be a must see.

It'll be interesting to see if he's able to set the tone for a new narrative amongst the press. It's technically directed at her, but the audience, I feel, will probably be his fellow media. The press has been slobbering all over the kitchen sink BS, simply because it's dramatic.
