Graphic of Jill Stanek, Pro-Life Blogger, From Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World segment | NewsBusters.orgMSNBC’s partisan-in-chief Keith Olbermann used his “Worst Person in the World” segment on Thursday evening to falsely accuse pro-life blogger Jill Stanek of posting the “addresses of the only two remaining physicians who will provide late-term abortions when the woman’s life is in danger,” thus enabling “a bunch of crazy people, like your readers, where they can find somebody and abuse, threaten, or kill them.”

Stanek actually did not post addresses of the two abortionsts, LeRoy Carhart and Warren Hern, in the two items in which she included pictures of Cahart’s drab-looking center. The former nurse, who achieved notoriety for her testimony about the exposure deaths of infants who survived their late-term abortions at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, pointed out in her retort to Olbermann that the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press had done the something similar- posting pictures of both physicians’ centers. She also snarked back that “Keith had best make Google the ‘Worst Search Engine in the World!’ for posting a map and directions to Carhart’s Abortion & Contraception Clinic of Nebraska and Hern’s Boulder Abortion Clinic.”

Olbermann seems to be continuing his theme from earlier in the week. As Brent Bozell, president of the MRC and publisher of NewsBusters, pointed out in his June 2 column, Olbermann accused all pro-lifers, including conservative bloggers and politicians, and of course, his network’s nemesis Fox News, of waging “a religious jihad by fundamentalist crusaders who believe that murder is justified, their acts of violence having the intended effect of changing behavior.” The MSNBC anchor later claimed that there was a “straight line” of culpability between Fox News, especially O’Reilly, and the murder of Doctor Tiller. He does the same in the case of Stanek: “The winner, Jill Stanek of the infamous WorldNetDaily, who did not get the point in the assassination of Doctor George Tiller, that you can be complicit in such a crime, even if you never met the man nor his assassin.”

The transcript of the relevant portion from Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the World” segment, which began 48 minutes into the 8 pm Eastern hour of his “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” program on Thursday:

Keith Olbermann, MSNBC Anchor | NewsBusters.orgKEITH OLBERMANN: The winner, Jill Stanek of the infamous WorldNetDaily, who did not get the point in the assassination of Doctor George Tiller, that you can be complicit in such a crime, even if you never met the man nor his assassin. Miss Stanek has now posted pictures and addresses of the only two remaining physicians who will provide late-term abortions when the woman’s life is in danger. So here’s a little switch, Miss Stanek. You’ll never understand that in a just world, to tell a bunch of crazy people, like your readers, where they can find somebody and abuse, threaten, or kill them, that that should be enough of a crime to put you in jail for the rest of your life. So let’s try this one out instead- you do realize that by posting online the addresses of these two doctors’ clinics, you've probably enabled some woman seeking their help to now find them and get an abortion. You, Jill Stanek, have just enabled an abortion. Jill Stanek of WorldNetDaily, today’s ‘Worst Person in the World.’

It has driven a lot of people to see her site.

Thanks for the promo Keith.

 

She also posted a picture of the back alley  abortionist Carhart in her response.  Now Jill seems to be getting threats and vulgar attacks. 

Olbermann, MSNBC's

Olbermann, MSNBC's "partisan-in-chief"?

Oh, Matthew, you are far too polite. That description doesn't begin to describe him. Maybe "bile-duct-in-chief" is a start.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

the only two remaining

the only two remaining physicians who will provide late-term abortions when the woman’s life is in danger,”

Has anyone ever presented an example of a woman whose life was "saved" by having her baby partially delivered and then de-brained?

I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.  -Bart Simpson

 

No, not once.

 

"DumbAssity of Dope"

How can you truthfully

How can you truthfully "smear" someone?  Of course it's "falsely." ; )

Besides, when has Olbermanic ever done anything with any truth in it (not including his lame football talk on NBC)?

<i>You’ll never

You’ll never understand that in a just world, to tell a bunch of crazy people, like your readers, where they can find somebody and abuse, threaten, or kill them, that that should be enough of a crime to put you in jail for the rest of your life.

Funny. Keith never mentions how the Berkeley Daily Planet published John Yoo's address - where he is now being abused, threatened, and harrassed 24/7, in addition to having his property trespassed upon. I bet Mr. Yoo wishes California had a castle law.

That is hilarious coming

That is hilarious coming from Loony Keith considering he makes his living "abusing and threatening" people on a daily basis, and yes, his readers and viewers can be considered crazy. They don't call him Krazy Keith for nothing.

I guess that the only crime then is murder. Enough said.

MAN he looks like MAX HEADROOM

That's all I can ever think when I see this douchebag.

 D-D-D-D-D-Drink the N-N-N-N-New Coke!!!!

Re: MAN he looks like ....

THIS ... http://bit.ly/vel72 ... When I see that mouth open, and he lets fly with that drivel of his.

The failure of their

The failure of their ideology and their beloved Socialist government is directly proportional to their invective.

As things get worse, they get louder and meaner.

Pretty sick.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

High honors

I point out that Jill has received numerous accolades and awards within the prolife community,  but  being dissed by such an incompetent as Keith-the-Cathtrated  confers additional status. 

Certainly it is assurance that Jill is doing the RIGHT thing.
