Another episode of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," another angry rant about a conservative disagreeing with liberal agenda - how predictable.
On the March 26 broadcast of "Countdown," Olbermann set his sights on Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, for suggesting that nature adapts to a changing climate - even when the changes predate the theory that man possessed the ability to change the climate.
"But our winner - Republican Congressman Joe Barton of Texas, back for another round of denying climate change," Olbermann said.
Olbermann quoted Barton in a March 25 hearing, leaving out passages in which Barton cited examples of how mankind has adapted to changing climate throughout history (full video here of statement).
"It's natural see," Olbermann said reading Barton's statement. "I believe the earth's climate is changing for natural variation reasons. I think mankind has been adopting, or adapting to climate as long as man has walked the earth. When it rains, we find shelter. When it is hot, we get shade. When it is cold, we find a warm place to stay."
"Adaptation is the practical, affordable, utterly natural reflex response to nature," Olbermann continued. "Nature doesn't seem to adjust to people as much as people seem to adjust to nature when the planet is heating or cooling as it always is. Nature doesn't seem to adjust to people as much as people seem to adjust to nature. Adaptation to shifts in temperature is not that difficult."
That quote earned Barton Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World," slot for the day.
"Right," Olbermann said. "Congressman, let me hear you say that when it hits 145 [degrees] in the shade in Waxahachie [a city in Barton's congressional district] and the sun has just lit your neighbor's roof on fire. Congressman Joe ‘with enough suntan lotion' Barton, today's ‘Worst Person in the World,' it's hot."
The same complaint about Barton's reluctance to embrace climate change alarmism appeared on the Think Progress blog, a wing of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, in a post by Satyam Khanna on March 25.
Ironically, Amanda Terkel, the editor of the Think Progress blog, later appeared on Olbermann's March 26 show. Both Terkel and Olbermann downplayed any link between MSNBC's parent network, NBC and Think Progress, despite the earlier citation.
Terkel actually appeared on Olbermann's show to discuss a separate matter involving Fox News "The O'Reilly Factor" host Bill O'Reilly and his reporting tactics. Think Progress has initiated a campaign to have O'Reilly advertisers boycott his show. Both ridiculed O'Reilly for insinuating a connection.
"Of course your being a guest on this program two nights ago helped to fuel part of the conspiracy in O'Reilly's mind," Olbermann said. "Would you care to tell everybody which it is? Is Think Progress running NBC or is NBC running Think Progress or what, because I've got to write somebody a check. Give us the flow chart."
"For the record, there are no ties between NBC and Think Progress," Terkel said. "I'm actually quite flattered that Bill O'Reilly thinks we at Think Progress are powerful enough to have direct lines to the head of NBC News and the president of the United States. But, it's just a crazy conspiracy theory."

Megyn Kelly is on the list...
March 27, 2009 - 12:30 ET by AgentAmerican...he insulted Megyn. I seen her pic in the upper inset.
Can I challenge this maniac to a duel? Oh...that probably won't happen. He's a coward.
Olbermann: "This is madness, this is blasphemy!"
AgentAmerican: "Madmen? THIS IS AMERICAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
2010: A GOP Hill
Glen beck was also on the list.
March 27, 2009 - 12:55 ET by mizflame98I guess they both must be doing something right.
He calls Megan Kelly the Fox Noise news actress. He even found a way to take a jab at O'Reilly. How pathetic.

March 27, 2009 - 13:12 ET by SickofLibsMegyn is not a 'real woman' by Olbermann's standards... the only real women are moonbat lesbians like Garafolo, Terkel and the genetic aberration know as Mancow.
I challenge you, Olbermann, to produce evidence that you are in fact, a biological male... otherwise, RESIGN, SIR.

March 27, 2009 - 13:32 ET by SeashellShould have given us a stronger warning. The "spew warning" wasn't enough.
Here's the correction.
March 27, 2009 - 13:22 ET by mizflame98This is how Olbermann should have presented this segment.

Ahhh, but to dream

Thank goodness!!
March 27, 2009 - 12:44 ET by timotheYou continue to watch Olbermann so we don't have to!! I've seen enough of him to know I don't need to see any more!
Contempt prior to investigation is ignorance.

D. 1922?
Answer. It was El Azizia, Libya 9/13/1922. At 136F.
Elsewhere:
North America: Death Valley, Cal. 7/10/1913. At 134F.
Asia: Tirat Tsvi, Israel, 6/21/1942. At 129F.
Australia: Cloncurry, Queensland, 1/16/1889. At 128F. (Contested)
Europe: Seville, Spain, 8/4/1881. At 122F.
South America: Rivadavia, Argentina 12/11/1905. At 120F.
Canada: Midale and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan. 7/5/1937. At 113F
Antarctica: Vanda Station. 1/5/1974. At 59F.
South Pole. 12/27/1978 at 7.5F.
But it's getting hot.

People really believe this. Ask anyone who believes in AGW how much the temperature has increased in the last 100 years. They are sure to say 5 or more degrees not the reality...
FACT: The temperature has only increased 0.6°C in the last 100 Years (IPCC)
FACT: 89% of U.S. temperature stations are biased by +1.0°C (Surfacestations)

March 27, 2009 - 12:50 ET by MANstreammediaHas anyone let Olberman in on the increasing list of (actual) scientist that are skeptical of the global warming nonsense? If not, perhaps telling him will cause him to sit in his bathtub crying for days on end while drinking white wine and hugging his "ivy league" diploma.
White Wine?
March 27, 2009 - 14:21 ET by boomerconI thought he just drank the bath water!! Why else would he just sit there?
Never mind...
"I thought he just drank the bath water!! "
March 27, 2009 - 14:56 ET by RukusYeah, he did, and it wasn't white wine, it was "bubbly".

Olby

March 27, 2009 - 13:05 ET by SickofLibsPrediction: Terkel and Garofolo to be the next MSNBC 'stars' with their own shows.
That would make THREE libdyke stars spawned under the Despicable Orange One's tutelage.
And that would be way more than coincidence.

Ratings = Viewers
March 27, 2009 - 13:34 ET by okiehawk44The statistics indicate that both Olbermann and Matthews do not have sustainable audience levels without massive assistance from NBC and those of you who mention them and their shows.
No mentions = No more O&M.
Vicous Cycle
March 27, 2009 - 14:29 ET by Kingfish17Very true, okiehawk44. I think 80% or more of the attacking on these "news shows" is designed to get their names mentioned on the shows that they are attacking. It's a vicious cycle that they then hope feeds on itself. If I say something outragious enough and attack someone in an incredibly despicable manner then I will get publicity when they are forced to respond.
I think all of us regular Rush listeners appreciate the fact that he never mentions Olberman anymore and barely mentions Mathews anymore. He just doesn't want to give them the free publicity.

Olbermann is a bold liar.
March 27, 2009 - 13:35 ET by NL207Olbermann is a bold liar. Congressman Barton does not dispute there is climate change. Barton, like most climate realists in the scientific community, disputes the significance of human contributions to that change.
Obermann is a waste of air time

March 27, 2009 - 13:50 ET by TexasteacherThe video doesn't work on this computer and I wouldn't be caught dead watching that a**hole's show, so I was wondering if he actually pronounced Waxahachie right...
olberdouche just needs to get over himself. He's nothing but a piss-poor excuse of a tv show host and he thinks he has any place to declare anyone as the "worst person in the world"???
I hate to break it to you trolls out there, but man-made global warming/cooling/climate change is bulls***, our nations laws and our founding documents were based on Christian values and principles, and your dear savior obama is a dips***. Sorry!
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.

Was it not just 2 years ago that Laurie David and Sheryl Crow and their "Stop Global Warming college tour" were telling the kids that we have 5 years (I did hear Laurie once even say 2 years) until the record warmth of Global WARMING floods the coast??!!!
Will anyone celebrate the 2 year anniversary of this tour. There must be some juicy clips out there about the projected record heat and flooding coast lines.
Remember the debate is over! LOL

wasn't 2008 the coolest year since 1998?
Certainly this winter didn't break any heat records in the northeast.

1998 was a super El Nino. Followed by a false sjhift in the PDO.
What warmers fail to mention. Or ignore. The warm period 02 to 06. There were what, 3 El Ninos.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
Terkel flat out lied
March 27, 2009 - 14:14 ET by Arminius"I'm actually quite flattered that Bill O'Reilly thinks we at Think Progress are powerful enough to have direct lines to the head of NBC News and the president of the United States. But, it's just a crazy conspiracy theory."
John Podesta is the president of the Center for American Progress. The same John Podesta was co-chairman of the Obama-Biden Transition Project. So, of course, Think Progress DOES have a direct line to Obama.
As far as the GE/NBC connection, O'Reilly made that case extremely well earlier this week.
Think Progress is essentially a group of kids hired to attack conservatives and military leaders. They have no credibility, Bathtub Boy has no credilibity, and NBC is losing what little credibility it had left.
