Check in here if you are waiting in anticipation for Keith Olbermann to trash Hillary.

[LoZoccolo]

[elehhhhna]

1. I'm in. But she trashed herself.

[Cha]

40. Precisely..is it "trashing" if he

is bringing up the facts about the way she's run her campaign? Or is "busting"?

[jlake]

2. Absolutely disgusting.

[onenote]

24. Yes, I agree. Ferraro's comments were absolutely disgusting.

Lookee here. The great predictor got something right. Didn't realize it of course. But right nonetheless.

[jlake]

25. Trashing Hillary is absolutely disgusting - and Ferraro's comments.... if you

listen to them were a condemnation of the MSM... nothing more and nothing less.... sick how y'all spin everything.

[onenote]

30. let's review Ferraro's comments

She started out talking about the MSM. But then she took it to a whole different level. This is what she said: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."


Re-read that last sentence. "And the country is caught up in the concept." Not "the media", the "country."

She picked the words she used. I don't know how old you are. Maybe too young to have ever heard someone complaing that a black person got a job because they were black or got into college because they were black -- but that sort of attack was a common among bigots in the 70s and 80s. And Ferraro knew or should've known that her words would evoke images of exactly that sort of attack.
But she said it anyway, suggesting that she either did it intentionally or is so lacking in sensitivity on the issue that she needs to shut up.

Now go study your history books.

[roguevalley]

47. let me see... when dickheads get caught doing something stupid

they always blame the press, say they were taken out of context. So she is trying to use this as an excuse? If it is trite and bs for repugs --vitter and the rest-- then its trite and bs for her.

[Two Americas]

50. that is a distortion

Were I to say that Clarence Thomas would never have been made a Supreme Court justice were he not Black, that would not be a racist statement. It would be accurate political analysis.

That is to say, tokenism - the elevation of an individual into a highly visible position for the purpose of deny or obscuring the truth about systematic and institutional racism, is quite the opposite case of bigots saying that affirmative action has given Blacks or others privileges they did not earn.

The failure to make this distinction reflects a profound misunderstanding as to the reality of racism.

In practical political effect, saying that Clarence Thomas is a token is the exact opposite of staying that some individual got into college solely because of affirmative action—ergo, their color or gender.

53. here is a link to the interview, the context makes it worse

[JVS]

3. Hit hard!

[Fox Mulder]

4. He won't be trashing her...

she's already done a good job doing it herself.

[liam_laddie]

5. Bill'll whine to MSNBC...

and Hillary will go sob and curse in a corner. I love KO.

[Georgie_92]

6. Check, she deserves it.

[azmouse]

7. It should make you sad that it's necessary to call out Hillary's BS.

Don't gloat about it.

[LoZoccolo]

12. In an ideal world, yes.

But my somewhat Machiavellian perspective is one in which I must deal with things as they are, not how I would want them to be, and I want Hillary trashed!

[azmouse]

19. Even though I get frustrated with the Hillary supporters

we'll need them in Nov for an Obama win.
I don't see the value in burning bridges... ok, maybe a small scorching is in order but let's not totally alienate them.

[TheDebbieDee]

8. Get real. KO has been trashing her since January.

He just never called it a "Special Comment".

[Avalux]

9. He's not going to trash her. He's going to call her on her bullshit. There's a difference.

She will deserve everything Keith says tonite.

[sniffa]

10. T-minus 125 minutes and counting

[against all enemies]

11. Keith sounds as if he is as sick of Hillary "Tonya Harding" as I am.

[thoughtcrime1984]

13. He only attacks the ones that deserve it, so in his estimation

Hillary deserves it. I'll watch it.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. You make it sound like there's some joy in hearing KO tell the truth about Hillary . . .

Hillary has done this to herself and should take responsibility for her actions. I know that's not going to happen, but it would be a welcome change. But, then again, that's why so many of us are voting for Obama.

GObama!

[Big Blue Marble]

15. It will be quite cathartic

as KO's comments always are.

[angie_love]

Yes i'm happily anticipating this.

:popcorn:

[shadowknows69]

16. I have my giant foam #1 hand ready to go

And i'm painting my whole body in MSNBC colors for the night.

[Beacool]

17. who gives a shit what another pundit at MSNBC has to say about Hillary?

As if their ratings weren't bad enough, plenty of us don't even stop at that channel anymore.

[LoZoccolo]

20. Next Hillary will say that Fox News is better! n/t

[Upton]

26. She might as well

she appeals to the kind of people who watch it.

[angie_love]

38. haha, I think she already did say that FOX was more fair to her than MSNBC.

She even wanted to do a debate on FOX, Obama said no to that one.

[Kahuna]

43. She already has. When she manipulated the David Shuster dust-up, she said that

she would prefer to have the debates scheduled for MSNBC at faux news where she gets better treatment. I kid you not.

[Beacool]

45. Manipulated it?????

Then it's OK in your book for Shuster to say that Hillary was "pimping" out Chelsea. Remember that when all of you accuse someone of racism when they make the slightest remark about Obama. Sexism is OK, but never question Obama or it'll be considered racist.

Bunch of hypocrites!!!!!

[Beacool]

44. They have actually been much more objective about her since they don't like either candidate.

Therefore, they criticize both of them alike.

[movonne]

34. You poor thing, I really feel sorry for you...I would be very upset

if my candidate was having this much trouble staying in the primary..and I am not being mean...it just that it has happen to me so many times and I know what it feels like...

[Beacool]

46. I'm not so much saddened as furious by the swifboating that Hillary

has been subjected to by the media and some others for the last year or so. The more they attack her, the more plenty of us dig in our heels. The more we make calls, the more money we send to her campaign, the more we hold fundraisers. She may lose yet, but not until we fight all the way to Puerto Rico. If the DNC doesn't like it, then too bad for them!!

:shrug:

[Kahuna]

42. I understand the official cable news channel for team clinton is FAUX News. nt

[WolverineDG]

18. I'm waiting to hear his special comment

Whether or not it's trashing or bashing or whatever is in the eyes & ears of the beholder.

To quote Harry Truman: I never gave them hell. I told them the truth & they thought it was hell.

dg

[Upton]

21. Keith tells the truth

you Clinton loyalists are just in denial.

[Danger Mouse]

22. i'd like to see that.

[Political Heretic]

23. If it is "trashing" I will be disappointed.

Of course, I reject the description of all criticism of the Clinton campaign as "trashing." Certainly I'm not expecting any Hillary supporters to say, "you know, that wasn't fun to listen to, but I have to say it was pretty fair criticism and I understand why he made the points he made." Of course that's not going to happen, no matter what he said.

But for me, I want it to be substantive. I'd prefer if it wasn't just a pure rant. I'm hoping that he will carefully, articulately, and factually connect the dots of the utter TRASH the Clinton campaign and its surrogates have been dishing out.

[TexanDem]

27. Why is KO ONLY one on TV who sees her for what she is?

And brave enough to say so -- well, I take that back. Jack Cafferty is speaking out against Hillary, as well. As far as TV reporters, anchors, the rest are promoting her propaganda and spin. Makes you wonder what stranglehold the Clintons have on the broadcasting media.

[OhioChick]

28. I Wouldn't Say He's Trashing Her, Per Se....

Only Speaking the Truth.

I'll be watching, as always. :)

[redqueen]

29. Oh please... he's not going to "trash Hillary" he's going to call out her campaign

for their vile, incompetent tactics.

Why the flamebait?

[LoZoccolo]

31. At this point you and I both know the valid intellectual reasons for opposing Hillary.

I'm just hoping he adds some panache or something to those reasons.

NOTE: I am not sure I know what "panache" means.

[redqueen]

32. Heheheh... I'm sure he will.

:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

33. Nope.

Democrat trashing is not my cup of tea.

[johnnydrama]

35. I'm guessing he rewrote it a bit

now that Ferraro resigned, i'm guessing it won't be as bad as it would have been, if they continued to allow her to speak for them.

[Exilednight]

36. I'm waiting, but he won't trash Hillary, he will tell the truth about Hillary.

[southern_belle]

37. I'll be ready to hear Keith speak the truth

[elizm]

39. Waiting to hear the truth. nt

[Kahuna]

41. I'm popping the corn for the "Special Comment." nt

:popcorn:

[Faygo Kid]

48. Yup. He's going to take out the trash. She has already trashed herself.

[MadBadger]

49. This is going to turn into a war between the Clinton campaign and MSNBC I think

I bet you they release a statement in response if its as bad as we think it will be.

[Exilednight]

51. MSNBC and the Clinton's have been at war for a while. This just takes it to the next level.

[Johnny__Motown]

52. I can't wait.. hehe been looking forward to it all day

[cbayer]

54. Who's Keith Olbermann?

And why in the world would I care what he did?

:rofl:
