I blame this poor, innocent newsreorters demise on Sarah Palin. Her hateful speech had to be called out and poor Keith gets sacked for trying to protect America from more mass murderers.

Hopefully Keith can use his considerable skills as a future press secretary for the white house or maybe on the editorial staff of the N.Y. Times.

I hope Comcast refuses to honor his severance so Olberdork must sue…..a jury trial would make some good PPV for CC.

Olbermann was such an overwrought lightweight with a high opinion of his own cleverness. He was an embarrassment to the profession. I hope he gets help with his obvious personal emotional problems.

To Rachel # 1,,,Do I detect a note of sarcasm in your speech?? Are you pulling our legs with your tongue-in-cheek humor about one of the most HATEFUL commentators I have seen in my 62 years on earth???? I think not.
I DO believe that you actually feel sorry for this HATE-MONGER of any & all people that are 1 pt. to the right of Center all the way to the Far-right. I have turned him on,,listened to his Hate speech,,then ,as George Carlin used to say,,I changed the station.
The BHO election is over. In BHO’s own words “WE WON”. So,,my dear is Olberman STILL picking on poor Sarah?? He is afraid of her & her ‘middle-class’ values of hard work & fair play,,,not to mention that she could whip him in a fair fight.
If Olberman came out AGAINST our Marxist Manchurian POTUS for screwing up the USA the way he & his Czars are doing,,,he would have been canned long ago,,,,AND YOU KNOW IT!!! So,,,,he goes after a “POOR INNOCENT” Ex-Gov.
Let him go back to being a sports geek where he belongs ,,,THAT is his area of expertise. Hope he saved up for a rainy day????

Certainly … Olbermann is/was not more “hateful” than any number of rightwing commentators, especially among the radioheads.

Truthfully, although her act has apparently waned considerably recently, Ann Coulter has spewed more pure venom than Olbermann. And, a wingnut like Michael Weiner Savage, when he gets going on someone or something in particular that he doesn’t like, is far more toxic, far more venomous than Olbermann could ever be.

Hey … the rightside extremists have their Fox and its talking heads … and the leftside extremists have their MSNBC and its talking heads … and Olbermann was one of the favorites on MSNBC. If the right wants theirs … then it’s only natural that the left should be allowed theirs!

ALL of this gibbering as is evidence here only adds to the toxicity of the political partisanship that has exceeded ALL BOUNDS over the last 15 years.

@Ted; “ALL of this gibbering as is evidence here only adds to the toxicity of the political partisanship that has exceeded ALL BOUNDS over the last 15 years.”

You just added more vitriol with your comment, since I do not listen to talk radio with the exception of NPR (which I must to be a Media Watchdog) is cruel and unusual punishment, but the job has to be done. Bi-partisanship to Liberals and progressives means ‘Do it our way’ just doesn’t fly. Give the C-Span channels a go during debates, this will give the opportunity to see the hate from the left without the MSM’s whitewashing their hate speech, then add their own. Olbermann was/is a hack to put it nicely as possible…Pot=Kettle=Black!!

I do have to admit that Ann coulter & Mike Savage have been pretty “Savage”
to say the least in their attacks on Liberals. If you listen to both sides of some issues,,you realize that the Libs should be attacked,hammer & tong,because most of ,,if not all of their ideas are ‘do as I say,,not as I do’,,,& hardly ever make common sense to the TAX-PAYER who has to fund their Lib ideas. Don’t they ever THINK before they open the LEFT side of their mouths???? I think not.

Wes,,,you listen to NPR?? You are the only one I know of that does,haha.

In NYC or up on the Farm,,,we’ve listened to RADIO for Weather,,sports,,& of course MORE Weather,,,and ALWAYS for MUSIC from the R & R ‘oldies forthe bride & kiddies,,,to the REAL OLDIES,,,Classical Music for me,,,but NEVER for TALK Radio. That is for folks with too much time on their hands ,,or folks that have stationary jobs in cubicles or at desks. I used ‘classical radio’ in NYC to ‘soothe the savage breast’ of anyone within earshot on the bus,,& my boss still does not know how I did it,haha

I couldn’t agree more Major, I bought all the classical I could find over 35 years ago on vinyl of course, they are in pristine condition as they have only been play twice each. Once to put them on reel to reel, and again when I digitized them and put them on CDs, plus the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s classic rock, and of course the blues. What we desperately is a Republican version of the Fairness in Media doctrine, force the MSM to conform back to what is once was in the near past. Never report a story without ‘two verifiable sources’, we have had enough of the one way liberal mantra in the media…Perhaps more people will see the real truth of what is really happening to our country under this administration.

I the SOTU speech, I noticed BHO talking about “investments” code for more spending, something which bothers me is, it should not be called the State of the Union, but rather the State of the Republic. Obama made history with back to back multi trillion dollar spending, yes Bush had the $700 Billion for TARP (meant to be loans) not only to take over companies, sadly a great deal of that money is unaccounted for, we do know that a large portion went to the Big Labor. Pensions have increased by 143% in the past two years, it is breaking the backs of the States. California alone owe $3.4 trillion in pensions alone, same with N.Y. Since when does anyone thing the sanitation dept. retire with pensions in excess of $145,000.00 per year till death (this does not include benefits), then passed on to their spouses.

We will soon be the next Greece, so says Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s credit ratings, should we default, our history of AAA credit ratings are now in real jeopardy. Should that happen our interest rates will double to foreign nations, we cannot afford the $800 Billion in interest now, much less than $1.6 Trillion. We must stop spending and the bill on H/C has not yet been paid for (another $3.6 Trillion). A country cannot nor will EVER spend their way our of trouble. Government has proven over and over again that this is a true statement which is why we see other countries collapse and have to implement austerity measures.

The Fed will not allow anyone to see their books, and each time we print money, it devalues the dollar. Bernake says we are not in a recession, in two years, grocery prices are up 26% (an average of 13% each year BHO has been in office). We are buying oil from the Saudis, Venezuela, and Brazil…most of the deep water rigs from the Gulf have moved to Brazil to do deep water wells more than a mile deep, and we are paying them and supplying equipment, they are not even an ally of the US.

We should be working on alternative fuel sources for the future, in the SOTU, obama said we must stop using oil and depend on these alternatives, yet they are dismantling most solar collectors, and wind farms as they have proven to be too costly with too little results. Experts say we cannot get off of oil till at least 2050 or beyond. This country has more oil left untapped in quantities than all of the middle east. Start tapping them and break the back of OPEC back down to $30.00 a barrel or less. The USGS assessments of recoverable oil is at 97% for 8.2 BBO (Billion Barrels) in one section of ANWR alone, and 1/2 as much natural gas. We have enough known in the U.S. to last us no less than 2,000 years, we have no idea of how much unknown pockets of gas and oil since we are not allow to do geological surveys.

But if we were allowed to do so, it would hurt the presidents push for alternative fuels, in truth it would give us more than enough time to do just that.

On another note, if we regulate welfare to those who really need it, and enforce it, would be enough to pay off the loans to China, but then we would not need Crap and Tax.
