Keith O is on top of this, watch now

[rainy]

[seito]

1. Keith

:loveya:

[angrydemocrat]

23. Can't help but love Keith

He is the best in the media. He is one of us that is for sure!

[KerryReallyWon]

51. Newsweek say Kerry only "half hearted". On fence, and look at us....

JK needs to make this bigger than us. The media is making it too hard for this to be about "us". They made him sound terrible. And they say, that Blackwell did run the clock out. But then, why did JK via Arnebeck wait till the last second to file? Help!

[Scout1071]

2. I'm literally on the edge of my seat

and giddy with anticipation.

[impeachthescoundrel]

3. Keith reminds me of

the press I grew up with.:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

4. So, are we all here? n/t :)

[Karenca]

6. yes :)) nt

[crispini]

9. Here I am!

Am I late?

Floaty hearts time! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

37. OK Ladies

I have to go out. I am taping. I know he's talking about it now. I will catch up wit youse later. :loveya:

Peace. Go, Keef!

[bunny planet]

86. Is there room for one more shameless Keith lover? I hope so.

:loveya:

[ValleyGirl]

100. Indeed

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Love Keef :D

[Patsy Stone]

101. I'm back

I watched. I think this was a great report on pure "column inches" alone. I enjoyed the incredulity in his voice. Fineman is, well, Fineman. He said some really non-partisan things; I think that may be a first for him. So, what? No one's happy? I'm happy.

Tonight's blog, btw, is great. His info is a little more "fleshed out." I also love a good Gilbert & Sullivan reference...

I'd like to add (merely as a shameless plug): "I own two Broward County 2000 Voting Machines, if anybody would like to do a private recount." OK, me! Yes, please. :)

[crispini]

106. LOL, Patsy.

We keep this up, we're going to have to start a fan club or something equally Tiger-Beat-ish. :P

[Patsy Stone]

111. I've think

we need our own forum, hidden away, where we can giggle... :)

[crispini]

11. Oh, yay, he's giving us ALL the dirt on Kerik.

This nanny shit is just fecking stupid.

Oh, but what about Tobaccogate? He forgot that one.

[crispini]

14. Oh, BS, they're missing the obvious.

Bush said YES on Kerik in order to embarrass Rudy G. Obvious. They had to take him down 'cause he's too freakin obvious.

OK, bwah, KO being cynical about the NYC DEMOCRATS saying Kerik great because they knew about all the problems. Too fecking funny.

[Clark2008]

17. I think he got all the biggies

I mean - there were SO MANY!! LOL! ;)


Oh... floatie hearts! It's a KO thread! :loveya:

[bunny planet]

87. Yes Rudy was competition for *'s self-declared 911 hero title.

He had to be taken down a notch. Kerik was the way to do it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

56. Tabaccogate??? Could ya fill me in on that one?

Please? :hi:

[crispini]

63. Tobacco companies give the prison system "rebates"

*cough*kickbacks on the cigs they buy and then resell to inmates. We're talking millions. That $$$ used to go into the prison general fund but Kerick redirected it into a "foundation" that only HE had control over. Heard it on NPR this morning.

[impeachthescoundrel]

5. Keith reminds me of

the press I grew up with:thumbsup:

[TrustingDog]

7. what network , please.

and what's his show's name?
I have never seen it.

[greenmutha]

8. MSNBC - Countdown

[TrustingDog]

12. drat, don't have it. :(

reports please?

[Nothing Without Hope]

90. I don't have it either, because it's cable, but...

...it's helpful to watch his blog, which is here:

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240

Even the ineffable Keef isn't enough to convince me to buy into cable TV.

[proudtobeadem]

10. on cable, MSNBC countdown with Keith O.

[GetTheRightVote]

13. Alway faithful KO, special investigate report for Count Down

:bounce:

[CraZdem4life]

15. what number is it on the countdown?

did i miss it?

[Darknyte7]

16. Odd Ball is next... N/T

[sepia_steel]

18. Keep watchin', you haven't missed it. :)

I love Keith. *floaty hearts*

[crispini]

19. Ok, dancing cop is funny. n/t

[Miami Liberal]

20. He's looking very good tonight

might I add, I'm sure all the ladies here will agree.

[Karenca]

27. TOOO good-looking! nt

[crispini]

31. I feel the need to reiterate this,

'cuz I haven't said it in a while: Keith, I'll be more than happy to bear your children. You've got the email add'y. ;)

[Clark2008]

77. Get in line...

And I make PRETTY babies!!

I'm also Catholic. ;)

:loveya:

[bemis12]

21. He just said

that Bush was "officially elected president" today.

[Darknyte7]

22. "We pause the countdown...

... of todays important national, international and Scott Peterson news..."

Keith is hilarious!

[Darknyte7]

30. "it's sweet tapioca booty..." heh heh

:-)

[rainy]

24. Comes!

That is what my kids used to say when the video was beginning.

[angrydemocrat]

28. LOL

I hate commercials!

[Karenca]

25. KO: "B#SH GOT OFICIALLY ELECTED TODAY, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A JOHN

KERRY SIGHTING"

[CraZdem4life]

26. NICE! keith flips papers

i love how he flipped out at the papers before the commercials

[Sparkle]

29. Keith better not be on top of anyone!

Oops, oh..you said on top of this. Now I get it.:-)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. Here goes! :)

[CraZdem4life]

33. HEADS UP! ON NOW!! n/t

[CraZdem4life]

34. :-\

[sepia_steel]

35. LMAO!!

"Other than that, nothing much." (chortle)

hahaha i love him.

[bemis12]

36. Keith- challenge of election "not likely"

[sepia_steel]

38. YESSSSSSS!!! A BIG "EFF YOU" TO BLACKWEL

I LOVE YOU KIETH!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clark2008]

40. Utmost care...

and then leaves the building wide open.

SNORT!!

:D

[crispini]

39. woo!

Electoral college. Opened Jan. 6. Results of EC may be formally challenged by 1 member of the house, 1 member of the senate.

Protests "fizzled out."

Arneback files lawsuit.

Conyers committee, Conyers occusing them of 'stonewalling.'

Xenia OH -- YES, Greene county lockdown. SWEET. LoParo spoke to Countdown. Said there were no D, R observers present and therefore soould have been kicked out.

Building UNLOCKED, but county said "well, the VOTES were locked up."

Kerry REQUEST asking to see votes that were undervoted for Pres. 93,000.

[Sparkle]

41. Flake off Howard Fineman!

Why does Keith continue to have this guy one?

[Darknyte7]

42. "Not even Haywood Yacuddleme..."

:D

[crispini]

48. The PG version of Heywood J. Blowme.

Keith bringin' the funny.

[Scout1071]

43. Unlikely to "teeter into MSM?"

All in all.....liking the report.

[New Earth]

44. think it'd be ok if i smack Howard Fineman in the head?

why does Keith bother to have him on? i hate that fucking putz.

[bunny planet]

88. I think his station makes him pick most of his guests from some station

approved pool of mediocrity for the most part. With a few exceptions, Keith is much more interesting and provocative ( in that cute sarcastic way of his) than his guests. He really needs to start insisting on getting better guests, and soon. I'd love to see Keith interview someone as intelligent as himself, say Thom Hartman, who really knows his history and civics.

[Kolesar]

45. Howard Fineman spoke well for the need for correct elections

I cannot recall the quote, but he did make the point that there are issues with the balloting.

[New Earth]

47. i think he sucked the big ones

i'm tired of his mouth.

[greenmutha]

49. No sugar coating... tell us how you really feel! ;-)

[KerryReallyWon]

59. yes, he says kerry only half hearted, like his campaign. and look at us!!

We are working so hard to make this about us, the country. MSM is making it too hard. We need JK to make it big. They say he is on fence. Won't really get involved. I don't believe it, he made me sick.

[greenmutha]

78. I keep wondering where the "youth" of our country is...

I'm just an old earth-lovin' :hippie:

Why aren't the college kids out in the streets en masse on the Washington Mall or something?

If it wasn't for my osteoarthritis and lack of fundage to get there, I'd be out in the streets protesting like we did back then and like the Ukrainians just did in their country.

Sad to say it, but I think that some massive protests are the only thing that is going to get any attention from the people who we are trying to get the attention of!

[Kolesar]

82. I dont think people know how bad our elections are

They have confidence in the system. They don't know how the system can be fouled through mistakes or malfeasance/fraud.

[BUSHOUT]

91. It's usually the old hippies who organize the protests.

Our cites protests are usually organized by this 60 year old guy. Last peace protest he got put in a police car and later fined for leading us on the road...apparently we didn't have a permit this time.
Not his fault though, city wouldn't grant it at the last minute.

Point is, the old dudes make it happen

[dmac]

94. Well guys -

today when Bush was "officially" declared President WOULD NOT be the best time for KErry to surface and go fist to cuffs over this. I am hoping the term officially is just a figure of speech - and am holding hope for jan 6th.

But I also admit by the time 1/6 rolls around, it will be over 2 months with too little sleep, too much stress, no ability to concentrate or to contribute much of anything to anyone or anything. But I will hold out hope anyway.

[angrydemocrat]

52. .........

I would really like to slap the shit out of Fineman right now! He said Kerry was neither here nor there....I SAY FUCK YOU FINEMAN!! :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[crispini]

46. Fineman commentary

Howard Fineman: "It reminds me of the whole Kerry campaign" -- neither here nor there.
Kerry has left the thing alone. "Halfheartedly" lent effort.

KO: Blackwell not doing a good job of making it look like they have nothing to hide.

Fineman said Blackwell stonewalling. Hard now to overturn now that electors have voted. Xenia "inexcusable."

Protest now must go to Senate & Congress. Fineman: "Not likely."

"Teetered on the edge of being a mainstream political catfight--- is it going to go mainstream?"
Fineman says probably not, even if Conyers votes for contest, probably won't find a Senator.

BUT, tens of millions of people, *not just fringe elements,* have issues about voting and system.

[Jackpine Radical]

64. If Conyers can't find a senator--

and, last I heard Kerry is a Senator--then why the hell were we bothering?

It's like in doing psychotherapy when it dawns on you that you're working harder than your patient is. You can help them, but you can't carry them, all passive and inert.

[demo dutch]

93. Kerry can't do it! the other half of the country would never

accept that.

[ZRB]

50. That was horrible!

We've never had MORE evidence of fraud, yet this whole thing is "fizzling out."


I don't know why some people are so obsessed with Olberman. Yes, it's good that he's covering this, but he's been practically discrediting the whole movement in every show.

I felt very positive today, but that piece let me down, big time.

[New Earth]

53. no, Keith isn't discrediting

THE IDIOTS HE PUTS ON HIS SHOW ARE TRYING TO!!!

[proudtobeadem]

55. Maybe tommorrow he can have someone good on

fineman was probably a last minute choice.

[stepnw1f]

57. Without the Media

Republicans have nothing.

[KerryReallyWon]

76. Where is all the legal work, the investigations???

[Clark2008]

85. Excepting that Fineman did say that this

issue was the most important issue and that tens of millions of voters - not just "fringe" elements - think there is a problem with the voting.

I dunno - I guess we can't get discouraged and just keep telling the MSM how important this is to us. If we back down, it will never make it anywhere.

[crispini]

58. It's Fineman, he's pretty much the negative Nelly. n./t

[KerryReallyWon]

62. I feel terrible, someone give me something good here.

[crispini]

54. Well, that was quite satisfactory, all in all.

Fineman is kind of a bit of a wet blanket, but we can't expect them to get up and say that the election will be overturned tomorrow.

Plus, I always like being told I am NOT a tinfoilhatter. It makes me happy.

(sigh) ... that Keith.... he gives good newscast. :evilgrin:

Extra dose of floaty hearts tonight! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[New Earth]

61. Keith's coverage was really good

it cracked me up when he mentioned everything that happened the past few days in one breath, and then said 'yeah, not much going on here!!'

LOL

[The Flaming Red Head]

69. I agree. He had excellent coverage and a nice attitude, too. nt

[Kolesar]

65. it was a way of presenting that Kerry is joining the recount campaign

I think Olbermann likes to layer his type of humor onto the broadcast. It is sort of a "come on already" subtext to his reports.

[AntiFascist]

72. All I can say to KeithO is....

what's up with that? He should have at least mentioned the Curtis testimony.

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[crispini]

79. True dat, he hasn't done much w. that angle of the story. n/t

[jdog]

73. Maybe Keith could get

Randi Rhodes or Amy Goodman on one of these days????

[greenmutha]

60. Thanks for the play-by-play...

I don't have any TV access other than what I can pull out of the air with rabbit ears!

[Shopaholic]

67. Go read Keith's latest blog--entitled---Xena-phobia

It's outstanding, per usual: bloggermann.com

[bunny planet]

89. I notice he is willing to go a bit further out on a limb in his supportive

stance in his blogs than on the show itself. Maybe he is allowed more freedom there to express his opinion. I'm going to read it now. We need to redesign his bloggerman man, he is just too nerdy, not enough sex appeal like Keith himself. Maybe a Cary Grant ascot and smoking jacket on the little animated bloggerman. But I digress.:loveya:

[Clark2008]

95. I do think the Bloggermann needs some holiday cheer...

maybe a Santa hat and the ascot with a warm mug of buttered rum in front of a stocking bedecked fireplace.


Oh, shoot... I'm telling my fantasy... not just want I want the Bloggerman dude to look like. :)

[pinkpops]

92. Columbus dispatch reports cited by KO -

anybody have a link - I checked their site - not prominent there at this time.

[New Earth]

66. Why doesn't he ever have Dan Abrams on?

He could go over all the legal details of the case, of the recount laws, of the Jan 6th deadline etc.....he'd be a lot more effective than stupidass Fineman.

[KerryReallyWon]

68. No Senator!!! Insiders in the forum, better come forward with some info

This will depress everyone.

[pipes]

108. he had abrahms on last night for...

SCOTT PEDERSON...WTFCares?

[peacetalksforall]

70. imo all of you who think KO is your savior have set your

expectations too high - he doesn't own his program - even if you have never worked for a corporation - try to imagine the heirarchy over his head - they are in bed with the right wing - they are gong to make you think that there is someone at their network who is fair and balanced - you may be taking a ride in the back seat of a car without a driver at the same time the millions in commercials come rolling in.

Handsome or not, witty or not, NBC/GE pays his mortgage - you think he wants to be a hero? I doubt it.

Please prove me wrong.

[crispini]

74. Hey, at least he's COVERING it.

Nobody else is. I'm taking what I can get.

[Kolesar]

75. no, no, it's NPR that is MY savior!

</sarcasm> I dont get the back seat analogy.

[Shopaholic]

81. This guy walked away from his first MSNBC show when

he got sick and tired of covering Monicagate--trust me, he's got balls and doesn't mind sticking it to his corporate masters. Why do you think he's worked for so many different media outlets???? He's been more than willing to tell them to fuck off and actually walked away rather than kiss corporate ass.

[skids]

98. No comment on KO one way or the other.

But the comment on the mortgage is right on. If you are in ANY position to do so, get yourself out of debt ASAP.

We need activists who don't have a pre-made extortion handle build onto them.

[Kolesar]

71. The Columbus protest was a heartbreak

Hardly anybody showed up to protest.

[sunnystarr]

80. That's so sad ... is it because people don't know or

because people don't care?

[warbly]

83. I'm really sorry to hear that

I think most people are just overwhelmed by the convential wisdom that bush won "fair and square" piped into their living rooms every night since Nov. 2nd. Thank you and everyone else who did show up for being there.

[scribe7]

96. Would it help for folks to come there?

Should we organize a massive demonstration in Ohio, similar to what's underway for the inauguration?

I'm wondering why millions of us are not in the streets, where do we need to go? Should we go to Ohio and support the hearings? We could all bring white candles and stand vigil for democracy.

[errorbells]

84. K O & Fineman

Why don't you guys do something?

Fineman you are right ...we need to have fair voting in this
country, NOW!

Do you think Bush et al have done a bang up job?!

I know you don't, because you both have brains
and on occasion use them.

YOU do something!! I am begging because I don't
have the connections you have...and I am not
a journalist...

You are calling Kerry ..what?...look in the mirror!!

Republicans should be scared sh*tless this will happen to
them...'cause it can.

That pendulum can swing right back and cut sharply.

That is your story.

Civil War in America, would that do it ?

I believe that fraud took place, election fraud
and disenfranchisement AGAIN!!!

Hey Keith, why don't you show the pics of our capital
here in Austin, Texas Sunday 12th
"ELECTION FRAUD DAY"
...people here will gladly give them away I'll betcha.

[Bouvet_Island]

97. A Norwegian Perspective

Being my first post I think I maybe should introduce myself, I am a Norwegian cook, I followed this case since the first report on Countdown, as reported in his blog.

If any of you have tapes of the Olbermann shows, it would be very helpful for any interested in convincing other people like their journalist friends if they somehow could be available online.

I am not advising this if it is illegal or if suggesting this is in conflict with the rules of the board.

A way of doing this would be to post them as sorensen compressed quicktime 320*240 video on the site "The Pirate Bay".

"The Pirate Bay" operate under Swedish copyright law, where this is legal. There is no porn visible on the site if you don´t register and then turn it on. You will find all antibush films, the Al Jazeerah documentary "Control Rooom", as well as many other interesting documentaries and historical documents like original jewish and WWII german propaganda films. I suggested this site because they have fended off copyright attacks, have good technology, and reach I believe the largest and most global audience for such a site, I believe also the most political sensitive. It also doesn´t have porn advertising or spyware, at least not that I have noticed myself. It also have a decent design for what it is, no "Warez" logos.

The best would be if there could be edited a highlights version and a full unclipped version, as a journalist would need the first to get interested and the second to be able to write properly sourced articles.

Just one show if it is particularly relevant would make a big difference. I would believe Keith Olbermann at least privately would approve if not cheer this, he should be the journalist the Foreign press quotes, not the idiot CNN or NYT choose when they are forced to.

It also would be good with a neutral and short explanation, including the dates and time, link to his blog and his bio. I believe the link to DU should be left out as this would not strengthen the credibility towards for example journalists with rightwing alignment. They are often good gyus in Norway, nothing like what you have to cope with. No capital letters, no saying there was any fraud. There is a discussion forum at the bottom of each post, where someone could put essential links, and discuss with the audience there. I would suggest to try to keep it non partisan, link relevant discussion at freeper if you link discussion at DU.

I am the only person I have met in Norway that have heard anything of any Fraud in this election. One article in my regional paper, it was flush with the conspiracy stuff and not the important, a dud in the saturday special. In regards to the foreign press, this matter have to be served in slices, as it is to big to fit in the mouth. This is the reason I as I said don´t suggest this if it is not appropriate.

All of you have my respects, I believe I can speak for the Norwegian people here when I say You are doing us a great service even if we don´t know about it.

I will have to sleep some now, I will be happy to answer any questions tomorrow Norwegian time.

[buddysmellgood]

104. Hey hey Norway. A shout out to the land of a quarter of my ancestors.

[crispini]

107. Hi, welcome to DU!

I think it's a good idea-- I don't know much about the technology and I don't know if anyone here has tapes of KO. Hmmm....

[myschkin]

110. International movement

For journalists I would suggest the Conyers-Video (rtsp://cspanrm.fplive.net/cspan/project/c04/c04120804_conyers.rm). There is also 20 mb highlights-clip avaible (for example somewhere on democrats.com)...

"I am the only person I have met in Norway that have heard anything of any Fraud in this election."

*laugh*

Maybe you take a look at our media action forum:

http://www.1-2-free-forums.com/mf/index.php?mforum=mtf

I'm from switzerland by the way...

[Bouvet_Island]

112. Thanks

Thanks for a warm welcome and the pointers.

I can teach anyone interested how to make Lutefisk from scratch, all you need is some dried cod and lye.

[Griffy]

99. REbroadcast is on now!! nt

[Bouvet_Island]

105. It is "Challenged"

Griffy that is great!

I forgot to say but there is a downside to the Bittorrent technology, it is that the person that posts the file have to make it available or "seed" the file, until other people have the entire file.

The advantage is that there is no need to buy bandwidth on a server, and that the system have a very large capacity. It is also possible to mail the seed .torrent file, you don´t need to get it from The Pirate Bay when it is rolling.

I couldn´t find it in the listing, I would guess that is because it isn´t seeded althoug there could also be a delay. There is a guide to a program that can be used for seeding http://thepiratebay.org/frame.html">here.

I will check it a couple of times today, if there are further problems we maybe should try to arrange for it to be sent to me so I can do the tecnical stuff as I have a strong feeling it would work from my machine. I have an account at something called streamload, My account name is Habla and it is free to make an account that can send me stuff. There is no size limit, you pay for downloading.

The more the merrier. I have time to publish mostly on the fly.

I also wrote KO and suggested they make the shows available on the net on a pay per view basis, I am sceptical though if this would be feasible to him under the circumstances. If he does this we of course should stop competing, and explain media that Keith is good business by promoting and using the service.

Norway out.

[Patsy Stone]

102. I'd just like to say

Thanks! I believe our admiration for KO, and our fight for truth, justice and the American way, just gave me 1000 posts. Rock on...

[ccarter84]

103. I just had a thought, why don't we send KO to OH?

Him or John Stewart...who i'm surprised hasn't picked up and ran with any of this
just a late-night thought

[Amaryllis]

109. Has anyone else emailed him to have Cobb and Arnebeck on ?
