Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC’s liberal political show “Countdown,” abruptly delivered his last show last night.
Olbermann returned from the last commercial break on “Countdown” to tell viewers it was his last broadcast, and read a James Thurber short story in a three-minute exit statement. Continue Reading

He won’t be missed unless you like hearing about his various levels of hate for anything conservative. Good riddence.

Keith is a perfect example of a left winger that spews hate. He is on the level of Bill Mahr, Ed Schultz and Al Franken. All very angry liberal men. I celebrate their right to do it though. Keep letting them say how they really feel without censor. This is what we must allow if we truly value freedom.

Al Franken is angry? Al Franken is probably one of the most calm and level headed men in the Senate. I have a feeling the Comcast/NBC merger has something to do with this. Say hello to tiered Internet and goodbye to Netflilx!

So at a private fundraiser back in 2004 when he wasn’t even running for Senate and trying to rally a crowd he gets worked up. But look at his behavior in the Senate where he shows nothing but decorum and respect for the office he is in and the people of Minnesota.
I showed a video as recently as last week. You show a video from 7 years ago.

People….this is MSNBC. Seriously, Simpson’s reruns get better ratings than anything on this network. A nobody commentator leaving a nothing network really isn’t worth the time to even print it.

Next thing MSNBC needs to do is put a cork in Fat Ed’s mouth. Then ship him off to a padded room where he can’t be heard or seen. I can’t believe that fool hasn’t stroked out.

In this era of PC (political correctness) a liberal newsman falls to the wayside, but there are so many others out there who are happy to pick up his banner. It is becoming evident that one can no longer exist in the main stream mass media who does not speak in liberal, politically correct terms. The left is the only voice in the “for-profit-media†that panders to those who wish to divide America by race, religion, socio-economic level. The politically correct approach to the main stream news system is to never question/debate a liberal. Politically correct, liberal positions are always the correct position and are not to be questioned, for they are always better, always more virtuous.
This is no different then when Hitler had his Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels. We have entered the politically correct age where liberals own the main stream media and only their positions will be presented without debate or dissent. Freedom of Speech IS a useless tool without the right to be heard, and NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, et. al. are working hard to make certain that only the liberal, politically correct voice will be heard by anyone.

For one – I’m happy to see one of the worst offenders of hate speech taken off the air. Good job MSNBC.

Keith who?
Apparently he wanted more money. He is one of those rich guys who the Democrat party talks about and liberals hate isn’t he? In the Obama depression even liberal talk show hosts are becoming unemployed.

Keith has a brain injury that prevents him from obtaining a drivers license. It also prevents him from thinking logically.
