If there was a "Keith Olberman is an Idiot" thread, would anyone here care?

No, because that fact is painfully obvious to all.

Watched again after my dad told me that Friday's show was good. I was very entertained. And it helped confirm that Obama and his administration hate America and want to turn it into shit.

DeputyDave · 11-01-09, 10:53 PM

Considering this thread is now on page 28... Beck knows what he's doing.

KVRDave, what was the show about? Is it worth watching?

I heard that over the weekend, President Obama implemented a program that simply handed rewards out to young people on the basis of desire -- no merit, no means testing, simply "to each according to his needs." Disgusting.

It was about Revolutionaries, and he compared quotes, etc. on issues such as free speech, guns, etc. from the founding fathers to those in the administration and that have been. It is worth watching. He is over the top, and I probably will continue to not watch simply because I don't like news shows, but he is definitely entertaining.

Every quote he had from Obama and others around him he had the actual recordings, etc. I would say that I found it frightening....actually, almost the type of thing you would laugh about because you couldn't believe anyone would say the things that they have said. It is a good one to watch.

But it was also probably a good 20 minutes that took an hour.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I don't think I've ever watched a full show, mostly clips I see here. I used to listen to his radio show every once in a while in the car, he's seems to have amped it up a bit lately.

Like I said before, I dislike him because his schtick invalidates the content of the argument. There is no need for him to be over-the-top when the facts (as you've seen) are already over-the-top.

The Beck followers that I know aren't critical thinkers. And just as I blame Bush for setting up an environment where someone with the ideology that Obama espouses can be elected, I blame Beck for neutralizing the effectiveness of the facts about the current administration.

But then again, Beck is an entertainer only interested in ratings and selling books.

I only know 1 Beck follower and he went to West Point, has two engineering degrees, worked on Skylab, the Atlas Rockets, and other aerospace projects.

Democrats picked up two more house seats (NY 23rd and CA 10th). I'm sure he'll be all torn up about that.

I tuned in but didn't see him on. And Beck was off on Wed. too.
THE DAILY SHOW was giving fair & honest coverage, but THE VIEW was like on full spin control for Obama. Barbra Walters should hang it up. I have no respect for her.

There was a poll about which political pundit you would most like to sleep with, and Olberman won. However, Brack was the only one who voted, so not sure it really counts.
