Typical coming from Keefffy's mouth.......Do a little research geez,,,,you have a staff, and yet you babble moronic stuff that could easily be checked.  Just makes him look more the moron.

Eh - "shot down"  - crashed - whatever - details like this mean nothing to Olbermann, who regularly twists facts, descriptions, and quotes to serve his dishonest tirades and provocations. 

Heck, in the face of statistics to the contrary, he even tries to claim his show is #1 

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

Noel...

Thank you.

It does get mind-bending listening to these imbecile leftists try to change real history....constantly.

Appreciate that great video from the History Channel as well.

Joe Kennedy Jr. was one of the few I ever respected that I have read about....still is.

Technology, drones etc are still improving thanks to men like him...just like Waters was saying, he never saw television, until he saw that...imagine folks what that had to have been like...heros and sacrifice are what has kept millions safe to do this day.

Obama's a Community Agitator, a walking, talking destroyer. ~ Rush Limbaugh

it's called "Desperation". it oozes from his pores.

Olbermann is one of the most despicable people on the planet. But the flub between being shot down and and blown up while trying to arm a flying bomb isn't important.

A liberal - telling blatent lies to:

1) cover up, hide, obfuscate and conceal the loathesome, perverted, corrupt doings of a member of their political party of choice.

2) pimp, exaggerate, hype and overblow the few semi-decent things somehow accomplished by a member of their political party of choice.

3) cover up, hide, obfuscate and conceal the good things done by a member of a political party they have decided are their enemies.

4)
pimp, exaggerate, hype and overblow the questionable deeds done by a member of a political party they have decided are their enemies.

Wotta surprise.  I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from NOT being surprised....

It's no wonder that Olby and Matty and their programs are so deep in the toilet that if they could breathe through the tops of their heads they'd STILL be in trouble....

I guess both flying and driving at night over water is just not in the Kennedy genes.

tired of liberal lies

That Teddy could have been a brother to Joe and Jack never ceased to amaze me.  Neither would have left Mary Jo all night in that car.  Jack swam out night after night in shark infested waters patrolled by the Japanese to try and get his crew and himself rescued.  My friend's grandfather was on a pt boat, they were floating bombs.  To hear him eulogized like he was made me sick.  And yes Obie is still an idiot.

 Unbelieveable...could there have been more praise in that piece? Why is he buried in Arlington?

According to Wiki:

Kennedy enlisted in the United States Army in June 1951.[9] Following basic training at Fort Dix, he requested assignment to Fort Holabird for Army Intelligence training, but was dropped after a few weeks without explanation.[9] He went to Camp Gordon for training in the Military Police Corps.[9] In June 1952, he was assigned to the honor guard at SHAPE headquarters in Paris.[2][9] His father's political connections ensured he was not deployed to the ongoing Korean War.[2][10] While stationed in Europe he travelled extensively on weekends and climbed the Matterhorn.[11] He was discharged in March 1953 as a private first class.[9][11]

"Olbermann was the only former ESPN star not invited back for the sports network’s 25th anniversary (he’s allowed to participate on Patrick’s radio show only because Patrick promised that Olbermann would never set foot on the network’s Bristol, Connecticut, campus)."  LINK

But as usual... they leave out the reason that Joe Jr. volunteered... which was because Jack had been home on leave the same time as Joe, after receiving the Navy Cross for getting his PT boat rammed and sunk in Blackett Straight, followed by being rescued and the fake coconut message (sent after they made contact and arranged for rescue but made a great "war story")  Joe Jr was pouting because his little brother had a medal and he didn't... so he looked for something that could get him a medal so he could be a Hee-ro too. The Aphrodite missions seemed a good deal,  he never left England, only had to arm the bomb and bail out over Southern England... but the thing blew up on him.  Can't blame Olberaman for this, he doesn't do research, and makes no effort for accuracy, just spews to get attention since his ratings are so bad, any thing he can do to attract attention to himself is OK with MSNBC.

Hey, the truth matters not to Keithie Boy, it just goes along with all the other lies he has told over the years.

  Mr. Sheppard posted an article that states Oblermanns statement that Joseph P Kennedy Jr's plane was shot down is indeed not factual. As evidence, he posts a youtube video from the show Dogfights that states unequivocally "bound for a bombing mission in northern France". (3:56 mark)

  There is nothing to nitpick there. All true and factual.

Jer 17:03: Noel is being way too picky in this case. About what? Uncle Jer is clearly fishing. BULL.

Jer 17:26: Because Olbermann slightly misstated the actual cause of Joe Jr.'s death and also understated his heroism by failing to more thoroughly report the nature and objective of his mission. Uncle Jer needs to leave military matters to military men. Slightly misstated? He was dead wrong. There is a difference between getting shot by the enemy, accidentally shooting yourself, and having your gun blow up in your face. Learn it. Or stay away from military matters as you have been instructed in the past. You may not know or care about the difference but we do. And please don't explain heroism to us Mr. Picky. It leaves a foul taste in our mouth. 

Mr. Sheppard 18:04:  do you think getting shot down by the enemy is the same as your plane exploding during a test mission taking place in friendly territory? Mr. Sheppard should not have taken the bait. This is only partially correct. The plane exploded during an actual bombing run. However, it was testing new equipment in the plane. Testing new ammunition/equipment/weapons on the enemy is a common practice during war. Testing even highly sensitive top secret equipment on the enemy in a plane loaded to the gills with explosives seems like an acceptable practice.

Jer 18:54: Nor do I think it's the same as Joe Jr. being blown to bits during the actual bombing mission.  Forgive me, Noel...but did you sufficiently research the facts? --- Why the italics? Who is Jer quoting? Further, Mr. Sheppard's linked video correctly states bombing mission. The show Dogfights sufficiently researched the facts. BULL BULL BULL.

Jer 19:51: will you concede Noel misstated the facts when he claimed Joe Jr. was on a training mission? -------- Again with the italics. Who you quoting? IT'S NITPICKY TIME! PICKY PICKY PICKY PICKPOCKET PICKY PICKPACK TIME! Noel never said training. Uncle Jer is the first one to say training. Hey Uncle Jer, you can't tell the difference between actual combat missions, testing and training? Mr. Picky mistated the facts after accusing someone else of mistating the facts. Let's help Uncle Jer boys and girls

combat mission - engaging the enemy.

test mission - testing the equipments/weapons

training mission - training the operator of equipments/weapons

Got that Uncle Jer/Mr. Picky/Fact requester/Nitpick fisherman. Should Jer now apologize for attributing slightly misstated words to Mr. Sheppard? Or am I being picky?

Finally, let's pay proper homage here. From Joseph P Kennedy Jr's Navy Cross citation -

For extraordinary heroism and courage in aerial flight as pilot of a United States Liberator bomber on August 12, 1944. Well knowing the extreme dangers involved and totally unconcerned for his own safety, Kennedy unhesitatingly volunteered to conduct an exceptionally hazardous and special operational mission.
Intrepid and daring in his tactics and with unwavering confidence in the vital importance of his task, he willingly risked his life in the supreme measure of service and, by his great personal valor and fortitude in carrying out a perilous undertaking, sustained and enhanced the finest traditions of the United States Naval Service

                    Olbermann must have stopped taking his meds. He is starting to freak out again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Please don't get into a shouting match with a lib like Jer. As a typical lib they have to always CLARIFY the errors of another stupid lib and then make excuses for the error. They can't allow that stupid lib to be discovered as another uneducated misinformed liberal which is always so easy to spot. My advise JWF let the lib rant, let him live in his hopeless defenseless ideas. Then with luck he will disappear like so many other uninformed libs misguided libs.

Oh, before you make any comments JER, I'm really not interested in your resume or any further twisted logic.

  Mr. Sheppard posts an article that says Olberman makes a false statement. HE then posts a video that has the correct information. In the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively minor thing. It is a trivial error, but is an error of fact. Mr. Sheppard's article did not call for any penalties, no firings, no fines, no citations. He simply corrected the record. He did not even ask that Ollybean apologize or correct his statement.

  As a long time member, Uncle Jer knows that not every single article here is deathly serious. There have been plently of light articles, open threads, opinion polls, and a weekly funny video.

  Yes, this was a tiny error on the part of Oblehburg in the grand scheme of things. But no one was saying it was a big error. It was a simple correction of the record. Newspapers do it every day when they mess up.

  What Uncle Jer fails to understand is that facts matter. As a history perfesser, he should know. There is entire wings of libraries dedicated to facts. It is called non-fiction & reference.
