Why I like Keith Olbermann

[Hawk]

Two kinds of people watch / listen to the likes of Hannity, Beck, O"Riley and Linebaugh.

1. Stupid people. One's who get NO other information into their lives except from these fools. Their "team spirit" mentality loves to watch the other team get kicked in the face. They are to stupid to recognise the lies intertwined with the twisted truth. These are mostly poorly educated people.

2. The rich. They love it that the uneducated people are getting fooled. They get a good laugh at the same time. And the talking heads are all about keeping the rich rich, somehow fooling the people that the money of the rich will "trickle down" .

That's it, just keep on calling names and insulting people. That'll win you lots of arguments.

I gotta agree with Sapo keep up the good work Bill. Also I never heard of this Linebaugh person (CHEAP SHOT SORRY).

So what would you call a person who listens to or agrees with only the liberal point of view? Using your reasoning would this person be a stupid person also? Also, are you saying only Republicans are rich or are there rich Democrats that love it that the uneducated people are getting fooled?

My favorite on Fox is Charles Krauthammer you should check him out.

I didn't think Olbermann was funny at all, maybe it was just that clip, I'll check his show out.

I'm not trying to win anything. Just giving an honest opinion. It's not name calling. It is a description.

Yes, ANYONE who listens to only MSNBC is stupid as well, but as I pointed out, I never talked to anyone who did. Liberals watch both sides and make a decision.

Stupid people who only watch Fox don't have the ability to form an unbiased opinion. And that's a fact.

Are these the same "stupid people" who you insist can't take care of themselves and therefore need federal help?

Would you guys please not gang up on Hawk on Tuesdays. He gets so flustered he can't keep count at practice and starts missing the beat.

Of course not. It's the physically and mentally disabled and the people who do work hard (perhaps their greatest ability is to work at a minimum wage job without benefits). Also protect people from the insurance cooperate greed. No drop clause and No exclusion for preexisting conditions.

I do imagine a fair share of them are Glen Beck Zombies though. Even if they are, I still want to help them.

so what you want is a price cap, tort reform, a no drop clause and no exclusion? why not allow the government to do that? i don't think there should be a federal government provided health care system. right now, PA has awsome state provided health insurance for anyone that qualifies.

i don't have a problem with the states providing for their people, but i do have a problem with a large federal government system. the federal government should stick to the things it does best. like corruption and greed

Tort reform? Where did you see that ?
Price Cap ? me ? Where did you see that ?

"for anyone that qualifies". Cool if you do...I want to help those who don't qualify.

Of course you're right, there is no greed in the health insurance cooperatives. All they give a damn about is the bottom line. Not your health. That's why they drop people, or refuse people. They are called "Adverse clients".

So you say there are stupid Democrats, what do ya think maybe 70-90%
Just a ruff estimate, and where do you get this kind of info I mean what are your sources.

You didn't mention the rich Democrats who love it when the uneducated Democrates are getting fooled and making the rich Democrats filthy rich. I gotta hand it to ya Bill them rich Democrats are real bastards treatin the stupid Democrats that way. Thanks for the heads up Bill. Really where do you get this stuff.

What a surprise, a socialist against the First Amendment freedom of speech. He wants government regulated speech. Just who is the bully here?

Not govt regulated speech, fascist, you can still spout all the lockstep mindless bilge you want. You'd just have to allow an opposing viewpoint. Fair speech.
Criminy, UCjoe... focus, man.

(From Paul's Wikipedia entry)
Confirmation bias can lead to disastrous decisions, especially in organizational, military and political contexts.[6][7] Attempts to teach critical thinking can be counter-productive if confirmation biases are not addressed, since by applying logical thinking only to one side of an argument, thinkers can become "actively closed-minded".[8]

Apropos, no?--->JMS

It is exactly government regulated speech. Remember, we have a right to free speech, but no right that people have to listen to it.


No one listened to Air America, why, most of America does not like socialism. That is why Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews' rating are in the pooper compared to Fox News. No large market for socialism as the norm.


Your anti free speech regulations are trying to force socialism radio on the air, when no one listened when they tried it in the free market. Typical socialist, if it does not work in the free market, force your views through govt regulation.

No, I think we established that right-wing bully/crybabies need to constantly have that stream of propaganda, to daily reinforce their conifirmation biases. The nice part of living in a house of cards is that it's much easier to build. The bad part is, you have to rebuild it all the time. I recently told of a client I work for, Tear Party organizer, who had Fox & Friends on the TV with the sound down, Beck on the radio. When her cellphone rang the ring tone was the National Anthem, and she talked to another woman on the other end about a secret decomissioned Army base that's being turned into an internment camp for conservative dissidents in the apparent upcoming govt takeover (insert over-the-top eye roll here). A person like that skews the ratings data, because she never actually watched any of it, she was on the phone. Credit for two wanks, zero actual attention.
It doesn't mean more people feel like you. It means the people who feel like you NEED constant reassurance, because it's easier than admitting when you're wrong, and because most of you can't figure out how to work the TV remote.--->JMS

Amen to that.

Never have this many words actually said nothing. We are all dumber for having read this. Slippin up there o god o spin.

If you really want to believe that conservative dissidents do not know how to use the TV remote, ok.

[T@rgetDrone]

I generally use the remote to prop up my balls so I don't squash them while sitting in my recliner.

Die-hard progressives will remain in denial even after the ratings measure sub zero.

Die-hard zealots will get accustomed to being more popular. Consequently, they will get sloppy, taking too many things for granted, and eventually will face their decent, yet again.

Too predictable. Can we please get a more challenging game going on? This one is way past tired. I suggest surrounding yourself with some of your favorite friends of the opposite sex - same sex if you so choose is also fine - and play some Naked Twister. I find it much more satisfying than mental masturbation.

Impossible. IQ doesn't fall into negative numbers.
It's a swing (crack) and it's a long fly ball into center field... going... going... GONE!! You keep playing fungo, and I'll swing for the fences.

You have the vein throbbing in your head because America sent the right a resounding "NO!" last fall, pure and simple. We had our tea party, and millions of new voters showed up. (Here's where you allude to ACORN in some kneejerk way... even without ACORN, you'd have still gotten whooped. Just beating you to your predictable neomedia crap.)
I don't hear the rightist talking heads blathering about how presidential approval ratings spiked since his speech. Ooh, I bet that stings! The mainstream voter just wanted specifics, which they got... if placed to a referendum, it'd win today. Buh-bye Teabaggers! That darned old democracy always defeats you authoritarians anymore. I predict more tension from the wingleberries... but they're stretched pretty tight already... eventually the drumhead splits under the tension.
Oh, and the next time you attack me, leave the God O'Spin, Bill O-Really, out of it. He's too busy with his phone sex to respond.--->JMS

Here the god o spin is attempting to pat himself on the back again. You have been warned about excessive back patting, it could stress the shoulder rotator cuff.

Rest of post, zzzzzzzzz. Again.

[tornandfrayed]

I'll take "mental masturbation" for $500 please!

I was warned about excessive mental masturbation too but I never went blind....

Oh that was real masturbation, I didn't see that sorry!

So bring this amazing knowledge and way with words you seem to think you have, Hoss. Try something other than a cut-n-paste from some whack-job website, or regurgitated Fox & Friends catch-phrases. Post an original thought.
Didn't think so. You seem to have your self-righteousness and nothing more. Squeak-attack-squeak-squeak.
BTW, I'm a kayaker. My rotator cuffs are good, thanks. --->JMS

T&F - At least you eventually got the difference. It took me quite a while to get it as well. Both were satisfying at the time and in their own right. Both can lead to ejaculation. Masturbation leads to ejaculation from our wanker. Mental masturbation usually leads to diarrhea of the mouth - an oral form of ejaculation. Both tend to spill over onto our keyboards.

Jerking off simply makes us a jerkoff. Jerking ourselves off mentally usually proves the level and depth of our overall stupidity, while reinforcing our need for answers that suit our personal ideals.

I'll stick with plain jerkoff. That IS what the internet is for. One hand on the keyboard or mouse, the other on my man meat. When it gets good to me I use both hands on my meat. Not that it is a requirement but because it makes me feel BIGGER! Two hands to handle my Whopper is all the Mental Masturbation I want.
