If Keith Olbermann is going to engage in violent fantasies about Sarah Palin, can't he at least come up with some original material? On tonight's Countdown, Olbermann drooled at the prospect of Palin remaining in national politics, saying:
She might stick around to be the slowest-moving target imaginable for comedians and commentators. It would be like shooting moose from a chopper.Despicable, yes. But also a "borrowing" of Bidenesque proportions. As we noted here, Bill Maher plumbed those noisesome depths weeks ago, imagining Palin being "shot from a plane" like a wolf.
Olbermann got off his loathsome line in a conversation with Chris Kofinis, a former John Edwards aide.
KEITH OLBERMANN: Sarah Palin's role in this. Now this poll from, about who Republicans want to lead them. Romney and Huckabee both finished ahead of her in that poll. If she does not, say, leave politics voluntarily or involuntarily in Alaska, she might stick around to be the slowest-moving target imaginable for comedians and commentators. It would be like shooting moose from a chopper.
Kofinis clearly found that funny, as he can be heard giggling. But is there any doubt that if the tables were turned, Olbermann wouldn't settle for a mere Worst Person nomination, and demand the Secret Service investigate a conservative who had descended to such odious depths?
Note: Ed Driscoll points out this isn't the first time Olbermann's fantasized about offing a woman political opponent.

I agree, that is ridiculouse. He should have threw in some rabid pit-bulls chasing Olbie through the minefield to make it interesting.

November 5, 2008 - 21:34 ET by JayTeeBe Afraid of Palin, very afraid . . . and Your Ratings also. . . and whatever you do, DO NOT ever, ever interview Todd Palin.
Unless Todd is in Alaska, out in the Wilderness, and the only way to get to the Interview is a snowmobile . . . Then, It's OK, Olbie, Go for the exclusive one on one chat, with Polar Bears as the only Observers. Todds a nice Guy, really.
Thank you President Bush, for your Courage and Leadership.
Ah,

that Todd Palin will treat Olbermann violently. The privacy afforded by
being in an area that can only be reached by a snowmobile. We do not
know what this person wants to happen, but he has very clearly implied
it.
Also, notice the irony at the bottom of his post. "Thank you

WOW
November 6, 2008 - 01:00 ET by HillbillyKingApparently the powers that be are slackin a little;
I grew up with people like you.
I post comments on this website for one reason: to give a different
view. Sometimes I write well, sometimes I write poorly. I do not speak
in statistics or citations. I see no need to cite common sense or
personal experience. Sometimes I speak from my gut.
I do not respond to comments directed at me. I am a "troll." I put in
my two cents and then leave. It is not arrogance. It is not cowardice.
I simply do not give a damn about what people here think about me.
Besides, I already know what you're going to say - you people always
say the same, stupid things.
It's not that I think I'm always right; it's just that you are always wrong.
The main thing I feel a need to speak out against on this website is
bigotry. Growing up white in Indiana, I, too, thought racism was dead.
It is not - it is alive and well on NewsBusters, among other places.
I visit this website for the same reason a person picks at a scab;
it hurts, it's gross - but it's entertaining and enlightening. By
visiting this website, I get an insight into the way people think, the
arguments people like you use to support your bigoted, stupid policies
and beliefs in life.
I prefer this website over other conservative websites because of
its simplicity. Redstate.com, for example, has no hold on me. While it
does have its share of raving lunatics, the essays hosted on Redstate
are coherent and intelligent - often way over my head. Here, however,
blog entires are quick and vapid, filled with conservative talking
points and propaganda. Above all, the commenters here are raving
fanatics, spouting repeated propaganda from their frothing mouths.
Finally, I enjoy this website because it is itself a representation
of the absurdity of conservativism: the liberal media bias does not
exist - it is a myth perpetrated by the right-wing in order to convince
the public that the media cannot be trusted. In other words, this
entire website is a big Kool-Aid fest.
And it amuses me.
And disgusts me.
But above all it amuses me.
That folks, is Chesters bio.
I fail to see how Chesters continued presence here benefits anyone except Chester. Furthermore, it does so solely at the expense of others.
That being the case, I request that the staff of NewsBusters revoke Chesters membership to our little "representation
of the absurdity of conservativism".
I mean, Chester can still visit the site as much as he wants to view "the
arguments people like you use to support your bigoted, stupid policies
and beliefs in life."
(Which ,btw, is quite redundant given that Chester said, "I already know what you're going to say - you people always
say the same, stupid things." So why is it your coming here? Oh, your a masochist, "I visit this website for the same reason a person picks at a scab;
it hurts, it's gross")
It's just that those of us the are willing to engage in the exchange of ideas and opinions should not be burdened by those who are not. You know, those like Chester, who said, "I do not respond to comments directed at me. I am a "troll." I put in
my two cents and then leave."
I, of course, welcome any an all views regarding this post. ;-)
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

November 5, 2008 - 21:56 ET by JerryBogus Chester,
Just because one can string together a simile, such as, "Joking about Obama is as easy as shooting monkeys in a banana tree", does not make it acceptable, even by the standards of our horrid public education system of which you are obviously a charter member.
When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).
Sorry, but Chester is
November 6, 2008 - 08:50 ET by JasonCSorry, but Chester is completely correct. I don't like Olbermann, but you all are way off on this. "Like shooting fish in a barrel" is pretty much the cliche of cliches, and regardless of context, it is ludicrous to take it to imply a violent fantasy. All KO did was tweak the simile (but keep it intact enough that anyone would recognize its source) to something that is, deservedly or not, associated with Palin. Applying the monkey in a banana tree thing to Obama wouldn't be offensive on the grounds of violent content, but would be puzzling as to how monkeys and bananas apply to him in any meaningful way. Some of the reaction posts here, ironically, and as Chester pointed out, are far more malicious in their fantasies of violence.
This is the most semantically tortured attempt to catch a liberal smearing Palin since the outrageous Pig/Lipstick debacle that consumed the right's fevered imagination while the economy plummeted.
But oh well, it's all moot. Palin will not be VEEP or Prez. Back to Wasilla to mangle the English language and govern ineptly in a place that will at least not affect the whole nation.

November 6, 2008 - 09:04 ET by HockeyKidWowee wow, Jason, your so smooth!! I just loved the way you slipped in that little dig at the end:
Let me get this straight--you don't like Palin because of her awful habit of dropping trailing g's. But you love 0bama, who frequently says things like, "What's goin' on?" and "...just got done votin'."
You think Palin's a moron because she's from Alaska, and Alaska doesn't matter to anybody. But you think 0bama's brilliant because he's from--wait, where is he from again? Oh, that's right, nobody really knows. Handy, that.
OK, checklist complete. Lefties are indeed as ugly in victory as they are in defeat.

November 6, 2008 - 09:11 ET by JasonCI don't know what a trailing g is, but I am not talking about Palin or Obama's respective hometown dialects nor their ability to adapt their speech patterns to the kind of people they're talking to.
I am talking about Palin's Bush-like ability to consistently construct sentences that violate numerous rules of grammar and syntax and ultimately mean nothing. See, for instance, the VP debate.
I thought conservatives were deeply attached to preserving proper English? Lord knows they get bent out of shape enough over Ebonics, or having to take 1.5 seconds out of their lives to press the 'English' button on the ATM.
Since my parting shot is all that you've addressed, shall I assume that my discussion of cliched similes resonated?
Jason
November 6, 2008 - 20:20 ET by well99Chris Dodd and Barney Franks used the proper grammar as they kept Fanny Mae and Freddie from being regulated.Gee glad they didnt violate rules of grammar and syntax.Just rules of ethics which millons of Americans are paying for.That is okay as long as their grammar was correct.
Your argument is
November 6, 2008 - 21:43 ET by JasonCYour argument is specious. Obviously proper grammar doesn't make someone a good person. But total disregard for proper sentence construction suggests intellectual sloppiness and, like it or not, an uneducated and unthoughtful speaker.
Again, mastery of English is always a big f---in' deal to conservatives when it pertains to immigrants (who are usually bilingual, more than most Americans can say) or Ebonics. Apparently when the mangling of English is done in the name of glorifying 'regular folks', whatever that means, it's just hunky dory.
Who would have dreamed that when socialism came to the U.S.A.
it would be brought not by Bolsheviks in blue jeans but Wall Street

He's a muslim? According to who? Islamic law? Great, so by that logic, organized religions choose US, rather than vice versa. So I can start some sort of kooky fringe cult tomorrow and say "Blazer is part of my religion" and that will make it so? Brilliant.
A terrorist? Why, because he's been in the same room as William Ayers?
A socialist? I still haven't figured that one out. What is it, exactly, about his tax proposal that makes him that.

If you wan't to keep it classy fine, but in a war you have to adapt and overcome and sometimes adopt the strategies of your enemy no matter how brutal they are.
If you don't believe that and if most conservatives feel the same way as you, then the Republic is doomed. Mark my words, you may start to feel a little different when you start to see the Constitution being re-written and certain amendments dissappearing or being re-written when Obamas fellow student of Saul Alinsky, Hillary Clinton becomes Head of The Supreme Court.
And with that I leave you with this chilling prophecy, that in my opinion just came true today:
"I remember reading a story told by Ezra T. Benson, who served as the
Secretary of Agriculture during the Eisenhower administration. The
leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita Kruschev (who followed Stalin) was
going to visit the U.S. and Benson was ordered by Eisenhower to give
Kruschev a tour of some of our agricultural facilities. With great
reluctance, Benson agreed to do as requested by the President.
During
the tour Kruschev remarked to Secretary Benson that communism would
eventually consume democracy. Benson replied that Americans would never
accept such a drastic change in their form of government as communism.
Kruschev then told Benson that it was already beginning to happen.
He said that Americans were being fed one small bite of communism at a
time, and that over the course of several years, Americans will have
accepted so many communistic ideals, including a massive and
uncontrollable federal government, that one day we would wake up to
discover that we are a democracy only in name - that our policies and
methods of government will be communist in nature. Kruschev concluded
that it will be the slow injection of socialist/communist principles
into America - not nuclear missiles - that would destroy our nation."

Sore Loser!
November 5, 2008 - 23:57 ET by ArcherBDude! This is politics. This is NOT A WAR. You are no better than those that want to see Bush locked up or shot because his views are different than theirs.
So our guy lost. Big deal. There will be another election in 4 years. Try harder then. If/When Obama throws out the Constitution and declares himself "dear leader", then it's war and you won't be alone. But until then, you are no different than those Kos kooks that kept saying that Bush was going to make our country fascist, and declare himself emperor for life. Only you are their mirror image (their left is your right). Like I said before: It makes no difference who does it. It's just as wrong! Just because you are saying it from the right doesn't majically make it OK.
Oh, and he's not God. I don't know how well you count, but no one has a super majority in the Senate. So the second he tries to make Hillary Clinton head of the Supreme Court is the first second of a good, old fashioned fillibuster.
Relax. Stop cleaning your rifle and take a deep breath. Yeah, it's bad, but we'll survive. And Kruschev was right, but backwards. It is Democracy that is defeating Communism, not the other way around. Just ask an East German, a Pole, or even a Georgian!

November 5, 2008 - 23:22 ET by ArcherBI don't like it either, but according to the Constitution of the United States of America, Obama will be the President of the United States, and he shall be called President Obama. If you can't respect him, you must respect the Constitution that gave him that title. Calling him Mr. Obama, like Olbermann does President Bush, disrespects The Constitution. It's wrong when he does it and it just as wrong when you do it.
You don't have to respect the man, but YOU MUST RESPECT THE UNIFORM, else you don't respect the Constitution! If you can't respect the Constitution, please become a one man secession and move to Canada, Mexico or someplace that is not the USA!

Refusing to acknowledge that Obama is president (wow that sux to say) is refusing to accept the authority of the Constitution. Olbermann doesn't respect it, that's why he is a traitor.
Again, you don't have to like him. You can call him "That A**Hole President Obama" or say "President Obama, Go to Hell!". That's all well and good. Just like Keith is free to tell the President to "Shut the Hell Up". That's what free speech is all about. But when he refuses to call the President by his Constitutionally granted title, he is pissing on the Constitution that gave him that free speech!

Olbermann doesn't respect it, that's why he is a traitor.
One thing we agree on: Olbermann is flat-out disrespectful and rude.
Correction, he was

Actually POTUS here in America do not wear uniforms, not yet anyway, but that should change soon. The man whose quote you use as a sig. did and he wasn't a soldier fighting for the people he was a mass murderer fighting against the people.
If conservatives like you represent the last best hope free America has to offer, than we are all surely doomed.

Funny, of all the time I've
November 6, 2008 - 00:59 ET by BlazerFunny, of all the time I've had that in my sig TM, you are the first one who's ever aked me that.
It's from a game called Portal. Basically you try to traverse a series of challenges inside of a complex series of mazes that progressively get harder and there is a computer generated voice that reminds you constantly that if you make it through, your reward is cake.
Ominously scribbled on the walls throughout the game by others that went through before you is "The cake is a lie".
You find out at the end of the game that you were the first and only one to have ever made it out and that there is no cake for a reward.
Reminds me how we are slowly giving up our liberties and freedom in return for cake, but we never get any cake.
In other words politicians promise you the moon and stars, but you never get anything in return.

November 6, 2008 - 11:28 ET by TN Momaah. The Cake... Thanks!
I guess you wouldn't understand
November 6, 2008 - 01:02 ET by ArcherBSorry. It's a soldier thing, I guess you wouldn't understand. Let me try anyway. You see, as a soldier in the US Armed forcers, we take an oath:
Notice that it says THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, not the Republican President.
Anyway, back to the uniform bit. You see the part about "THE OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER ME..." We had some great officers. We had some sorry ass officers. It didn't matter what you thought of the man. Even if you couldn't salute him, you still had to salute the uniform. That's where it came from.
But since you didn't serve, you wouldn't understand that. Nor would you understand that The United States of America is what it is because of The Constitution. That's why we take an oath to defend The Constitution, not the country. So, of course, when you disrespect the Constitution, you are disrespecting America.
You, are no different than the traitors who turn their backs during The National Anthem. Actually, you are worse becuase this country wasn't founded on the National Anthem. It was founded on The Constitution. It is sad that you would turn your back on your country so quickly just because you disagree with the politics of the man in charge. I, on the other hand, take the oath I took seriously and I am bound by it. So, until Obama violates the Constitution, I must respect his position and it is granted by that very same Constitution.
I don't have to respect Obama, but I have to respect the Constitution that makes him President. So, even though I really hate Obama, I love The Constitution (country) more. I guess you don't see it that way.

Hey, I totally understand
November 6, 2008 - 01:11 ET by BlazerHey, I totally understand the oath and where your comin' from, one day you'll understand where I'm comin' from too, I assure you.
Remember though, the two most important parts of that oath were about defending The Constitution and the people.There may come a time when the rest can be dropped.

How's this
November 6, 2008 - 01:23 ET by ArcherBWhen Obama violates The Constitution, I am bound by an oath to defend that Constitution from Obama (ALL enemies, forein and DOMESTIC). I promise you that I will honor that oath and provide a forceful defense to the Constitution.
However, until then, I'm bound by that very same oath to respect the Office of the President. I don't have to like him. I don't have to vote for him. I don't even have to watch him on TV. But I do have to respect the fact that, as of Jan 20, 2009, he is the President of the United States as spelled out in The Constitution. And like I've said before:
The USA IS The Consitution. The Constitution says Obama is President. If you don't acknowledge that Obama is President, you do not acknowledge the authority of the Constitution, and you do not acknowledge the authority of the United States of America.
It's late and I'm out! Good chattin with ya.
Sorry, one more thing. All of this reminds of an article I read today at WSJ. It made me decide that I will not do to Obama what the libs and press have done to Bush. I'm better than that. Here is the relevant part from the article, but please, read the whole thing:

November 6, 2008 - 23:05 ET by general companyI completely respect your thought process here, I have been e-mailing some of my siblings that are so happy about the results of the election. They seem to be surprised when I tell them things like 3 trillion in new spending, and taking fund from those that drive our economy.
But what is done is done, now we need to concentrate on keeping him check. This site is dedicated to liberal media bias, many of us fear that the media will not be the watch dog that we will desperately need. But you know this.
I talked to some Troops yesterday (8) between the Dallas and Houston airports. Some on the shuttles, one in the terminal, a couple waiting in line, one on the plane, another in a restaurant (asked to share his table) they also were very reserved in there comments, but it could had been because they were all heading to Afghanistan? Every one of them? After talking to a few of them I found I had completely forgotten about the election, and was just hoping they make it home as fine as my visit was with them.

November 5, 2008 - 22:15 ET by ckbennetttnGood grief! His guy won and he still has to be ugly, just plain ugly. This goes a long way towards proving the point that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Oh yeah, and we're all unified now.

November 5, 2008 - 22:34 ET by TrickletownIn the midst of winning, Olbermann shows himself to be a loser. He never misses the chance to take the low road, displaying his stunted intellectual and emotional maturity. As an Obama supporter, I say: "Please, no more help from you Keith Olbermann. Take your hatred and indignity and go away."

November 5, 2008 - 23:36 ET by Trix Rabbitzf, that is certainly bound to happen. Überdork shows all the classic symptoms of passive-agressive behavior:
Obstructionism, sarcasm (albeit poorly), lying, fear of competition, complaing, and the willful witholding of understanding.
The next time Matthews experiences that tingle down his leg (a sign that he has had a wet dream or needs to change his Depends), that may be all the catylyst Überdork needs to start a girl fight with Matthews.

palin an Icon?
November 7, 2008 - 12:20 ET by chelseabitesNow that the election is over it'll be interesting to see where things go and how the country recovers. I wonder how much attention will go to Sarah Palin. How much longer do you think she'll be in the spotlight prepping for a run in 2012? People are still doing videos on her. Good or bad, she's become somewhat of a pop icon.
For instance, I found this video on dressing like Palin:
