Keith Olbermann has another meltdown — calls anyone criticizing Obama a RAAACIST!
H/t Daily Caller
Head over to The Daily Caller for the full article.
This is what the Left does.
If you do not agree with this administration, in any way, then you are a RAAACIST!. Case closed.
Because the only thing the Left thinks about is race. They are obsessed with it. Note Chris Matthews admitting that during the SOTU the other night, he, in his own words, “forgot Obama was a black man for an hour”.
That says much more about Matthews, and Liberals like him, than it does about Dr. Utopia. The fact is, Liberals treat black people like their favorite pets. They fawn over Obama the way Paris Hilton goes on for hours about Tinkerbelle or whatever else she’s carrying around in her powder pink purse that day. Clearly, neither Matthews nor Hilton see the objects of their affection as equals. They delight in everything their pets do, (“Tinkerbelle made big poopies!”, “Obama gave a speech!”), but sporadically, their true feelings about their “best friends” come to the surface (“Stupid dog ate my Manolos!”, “Forgot Obama was a black man for an hour!”).
We’re fascinated by what the black community really thinks of Liberals like Matthews.
Do they realize how condescending these Libs are to them, and how little they must think of black Americans if everything they do has to be about race, every mundane thing accomplished has to be praised as “historic and unprecedented!”?
It seems Olbermann, Matthews and their ilk have an incredibly low opinion of black people, and perhaps as cover for that, they love nothing more than screaming RAAACIST! at the top of their lungs before anyone shouts it at them, first.
Today is a really good day to ask this question: What happens to people who backstab Hillary Clinton?
Watching Tom Daschle self-destruct and embarass himself today, fresh on the heels of HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy self-destructing and embarrassing herself just weeks ago, and Bill Richardson doing the same thing himself (with curly fries and barbeque sauce all over his face), it’s just interesting to note what’s happened to some of the people who backstabbed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries.
It’s almost as if some powerful cosmic force evens things out with these sorts of people in the end (almost as if there’s really a “List”, and agenda-driven operatives are working their way through the destruction of all of them).
Let’s recap:
Howard Dean = backed Obama for president since Kerry’s loss in 2004 and prevented resolution to Michigan and Florida’s electoral votes until Obama clinched the nomination…but, in the end, was denied Surgeon General and was insulted by Rahm Emanuel and Obama when Governor Kaine was made the new DNC Chairman, while Dean was traveling n American Samoa. He was not even invited to the announcement of his replacement. Richard Nixon was treated better than that while in exile.
Donna Brazile = one of Obama’s most vocal cheerleaders through the primaries, despite claiming she was an unbiased and objective commentator on CNN; Brazile also ensured the Rules & Bylaws Committee Meeting on May 31st stole Michigan delegates from Clinton and awarded them to Obama, among other travesties that day. Brazile thought SHE was going to be DNC Chairwoman, not Kaine, and hasn’t really been seen much since. She’s like Oprah in a room where someone’s eaten all the pie, pouting and sullen, denied what she wanted most.
Tim Russert = probably the most sickeningly sexist of all of MSNBC’s pigs, who shamelessly promoted Obama and ripped into Clinton with misogynistic vigor. Dead of a heart attack before his Messiah even clinched the nomination.
Chris Matthews = like Russert, another obnoxious pig cheerleading for Obama through the primaries; first he was denied the host’s chair on Meet the Press after Russert’s death, despite his actively campaigning for the job at Russert’s funeral. Then he was denied a Senate run in Pennsylvania, when political insiders and pollsters told him he’d never win, largely because Clinton’s supporters hate him so much for his sexism and misogyny that bipartisan volunteers would pour in from many states to personally see to it Matthews was creamed in the primary before he’d even make it to the general election. His dream of a Senate run was denied.
Keith Olbermann = MSNBC’s third little piggy, who also wanted Russert’s job, and was also denied.
HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy = one of Obama’s marquee endorsers, who proved the Kennedy family’s irrelevance by failing to win California or Massachusetts for Obama in the primaries, despite her promises to do just that. Kennedy repeatedly claimed she should be appointed United States Senator, to Clinton’s seat no less, because her father was president, she knows lots of very rich people, and she’s besties with Obama. Kennedy made an absolute fool of herself, reminding everyone how marvelous it is America has no monarchy. Sic transit gloria Caroline!
Ted Kennedy = the man some call “the lion of the Senate” is the man we best remember for killing Mary Jo Kopechne by driving his car off a bridge one terrible night in 1969; like Russert before him, Kennedy suffered a sudden, horrific health problem not long after signing off on Obama. In Kennedy’s case it’s an inoperable brain tumor that will claim his life by year’s end — hopefully in his last days he will FINALLY come clean about what he did to Kopechne, and what his lies and evasions have done to her long-suffering family for all of these years. The Kennedy Dynasty in fact truly ends with this red-faced toad.
John Edwards = who often tag-teamed Clinton with Obama in debates, and flirted with endorsing Clinton because her healthcare plan was much better than Obama’s, but instead came out for Obama the week before the Kentucky primary (not that it swayed any blue collar voters the way he was supposed to); Edwards shamed and embarrassed himself, and ruined his political future, by not only lying about an extramarital affair, fathering a child out of wedlock, and misappropriating campaign funds to support his mistress, but hid in the bathroom of the Beverly Hilton when The National Enquirer staked him out to expose him. He will always be John “Bathroom Hider” Edwards from now on, deservedly so.
Bill Richardson = who received two Cabinet appointments and his governorship from President Clinton, and who betrayed the Clintons more than anyone else (going as far to force President Clinton to come to his Super Bowl party, only to endorse Obama a week later); Richardson’s currently under investigation for a pay-to-play scandal in New Mexico that sure looks like it will end in some kind of indictment. This, of course, derailed his bid to become Commerce Secretary, which was a consolation prize since Hillary Clinton usurped the Secretary of State position Richardson thought he was entitled to.
John Kerry = who also promised to deliver Massachusetts for Obama, and failed miserably, and who attracted so few people on campaign stops for Obama that his rallies could have been held in the back room of an average-sized Arby’s (often, just 300 people came to hear Kerry speak. More than that fit into the bathroom of Sidetrack’s here in Boystown). Kerry wanted to become Secretary of State and practically said as much after Obama’s win. Kerry’s dream, like Richardson’s, was denied.
Tom Daschle = who promised to deliver South Dakota to Obama, but failed miserably. Today, Daschle withdrew his name for Health and Human Services Secretary, because he believed the 16th Amendment and America’s tax code do not apply to him, and that he didn’t need to pay income tax on the hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefit he received from a chauffeured limousine. Tax Cheat Tom will hopefully go back to whatever money grubbing he’s been quietly engaged in since being booted from the Senate in 2004, one of very few sitting Minority Leaders to lose their seats in humiliating defeat.
Missing from this list above is Claire McCaskill, one of the most vile and terrible people in the Senate, as well as Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey. John Lewis and Jamse Clyburne, both race-baiting Members of Congress, round out the Big Four whose cosmic chickens have not come home to roost…yet.
McCaskill’s up for re-election in 2012, and we can’t speak for everyone in Hillary World Wide, but we certainly plan on doing everything we can to see her defeated (so she can go home to spend more time with her children, whom apparently make all of McCaskill’s major political decisions for her). Casey, like McCaskill, also insisted “his children bugged him” to support Obama, making him a grown man who admits to not being able to make up his mind, instead relinquishing that duty to children. Lewis and Clyburne are truly just caricatures of themselves at this point, succeeding in making people like Al Sharpton seem almost respectable in comparison.
It will be interesting to see if these last four get their own personal comeuppance anytime soon.
All of this is just a colossal coincidence, we’re sure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it.
Where were the 5 million people? Where was The Greatest Inaugural Address Ever Written That Must Be Immediately Carved Into Marble?
We knew 5 million people were not going to show up to the Inauguration, so we always wondered why the Obama transition team hyped that figure so much, and why his supporters consistently claimed 3-5 million people would descend on Washington and cause all manner of chaos clamoring “to witness history”.
2 million people is an impressive number. It’s exactly what was expected by non-partisans in the non-Obama-cheerleading section of political thought. (UPDATE: ABC News is reporting only 1.4 million came out for Obama, just 200,000 more than LBJ had in 1964…at a time when travel was much more expensive and difficult. The US Government will not release an official total attendance).
But, 3-5 million is what the Obamafiles, Obamaians, Obots, whatever you want to call them, or whatever they call themselvs, claimed would attend the Inauguration. They were a million or more short of their floor, and three million-plus shy of their ceiling. That’s just pointless inflation of expectations.
And the same was true, of course, for the Inaugural Address, which was hyped, like all of Obama’s speeches, as sure to be The Greatest Inaugural Address Ever Written That Must Be Immediately Carved Into Marble.
Here’s the thing: Obama’s main speech writer is a twenty-something who thinks it’s both funny and appropriate to pose for vulgar photos with himself, another man, and a cardboard cutout of a United States Senator. We have no idea if Jon Favreau wrote the Inaugural Address, but it sure sounds like his special brand of nebulous, cliche-driven newspeak. More hope and change, whatever that means, more storms on the horizon and quagmires at the edge of the briar patch. All delivered in that trademarked Sunday morning oration Obama favors, learned deliberately off cassette tapes Jeremiah Wright sent him at Harvard Law school.
Like with any of Obama’s speeches, we ask people talking about the Inaugural Address today what was their favorite line, and they’re instantly stumped. They can’t think of one. No turn of phrase they’d carve into marble with their own blood, sweat, and tears to be sure.
That “seminal speech on race” Chris Matthews’ lauded as “the new Gettysburg address”? Does anyone remember a line from that?
What about any of his campaign speeches? Are any of Favreau’s bon mots marble-worthy from those?
Obama is a showman who appeals to a large part of the country who has either never set foot in a black church (so they are mesmerized by something we can see done much better any given Sunday here in Chicago) or who loves listening to preachers regularly. For those of us not so inclined, it’s an act we’ve seen before, done better. His oration has never impressed us because he never says anything particularly memorable — it’s just that a large number of people love hearing his voice.
Ronald Reagan’s actually the last president who said anything truly memorable in an Inaugural Address. Lord knows we love the Clintons, but aside from vague memories of “the bridge to the 21st century” we can’t recall anything Bill Clinton said in 1993 or 1997 (though we deeply missed seeing Maya Angelou today, as the poet Obama chose was mediocre at best, and that’s us being incredibly generous to someone following in Angelou’s and Robert Frost’s footsteps as only the fourth poet asked to recite at an Inauguration. And she wrote that? On what, the ride over to the Capitol in a wobbly cab?). We don’t recall anything either of the Bushes said, and are too young to remember Carter.
So, we had truly high hopes today that Obama would knock our socks off. We wore extra thick woolen socks too, so the thud of them being knocked off and sent flying across Buzzquarters would clue us in that, here, finally was proof of why this unremarkable man “from Chicago” is deserving of so much love and devotion, when we’ve never seen a single thing he’s done to warrant all the fuss. Morgan Freeman is a wonderful speaker. Dennis Haysbert has a beautiful voice. Both are talented black men who carry themselves impressively and have played presidents on TV and on film.
And that’s what Obama still feels like to us — someone playing a part, reading network drama-quality speeches, hitting his mark with cresdendos of oratory inflection (as practiced off his Wright cassettes), to the rapturous adulation of people who don’t seem to know any better, who have no appreciation for the meat and substance of Inaugural Addresses of the past, where new presidents spoke to HISTORY, to POSTERITY, to HUMANITY, and not to the TV cameras.
We wouldn’t turn on MSNBC today if you forced us, so we have no idea what Chris Matthews is saying, or if he’s finally been fined by the FCC for verbally masturbating to Obama on the air, but we imagine Obama’s loyal media followers are gulping purple Kool-Aid with gusto.
The sky today over the Capitol was GORGEOUS. The flags and the bunting draped around columns and domes ENCHANTING. The assemblage of leaders of all stripes IMPRESSIVE. The military elements, in polished bronze and sharp dress, CAPTIVATING.
But Obama’s “Great Address” was anemic, at best, and pedestrian at worst.
And that’s coming from people who don’t like him, and aren’t going to suddenly magically start liking him today, but who truly — REALLY AND TRULY — wanted him to just knock this out of the park and give us some reason, SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to warrant the most expensive party this nation has ever thrown, at a time when collectively we barely have a pot to, uh, stew in.
With all of our economic troubles.
With all those cliche clouds hanging.
With all of the storm clouds massing on lazily-written uncharted horizons.
And he phoned in that forgettable speech?
Followed by a poorly-written and amateurishly delivered poem?
On the day Obama was supposed to start showing us what he’s got, and giving us some clue as to what all the fuss about him is about?
We’re still waiting. We’ll let you know if we ever see it — and honestly promise to be fair to the new president, the way we tried to be fair to former president George W. Bush. And we truly want Obama to succeed, and definitely want to be blown away by brilliance on an epic scale.
We were waiting for that for eight years…and it looks like we could be waiting for four more, if things continue at this level, on Day One, Year One, of The Golden Age of Obama.
Chris Matthews will NOT be running for the Senate
Chris Matthews informed his staff he will n0t be running for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Now, at the rate he is going, Obama could nominate Matthews to be Commerce Secretary, thus balancing the CNN appointment of Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General with someone from MSNBC (because, apparently, the television is a good place to find people to head departments of government), but for the moment it appears Matthews will stay put in his current pigpen playpen.
But, if that vile stupid pig thinks for one moment that any of us will ever forget how he, Keith Olbermann, and deceased vile pig Tim Russert behaved on the air in 2008, he has another thing coming. We’re pleased he’s realized a run for the Senate would have galvanized everyone on Team Hillary looking for some payback — and are more determined than ever to force Matthews and Olbermann off the air at some point in 2009.
If it is the last thing we do.
With the economy in tatters, and so much less money to spend, people who object to the behavior of Matthews and Olbermann should spend their hard-earned dollars supporting manufacturers whose products are NOT advertised on MSNBC. Sometime in February or March, the excitement of Obama’s inauguration will fade, and MSNBC’s ad dollars will begin to dry up. They will need every advertiser they can get.
So, a concerted effort to lobby those companies to drop their spots on MSNBC could ultimately drive Matthews and Olbermann off the air.
John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Tim Russert, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, and other Obama cheerleaders have all received some degree of cosmic payback for their behavior in 2008…but Matthews and Olbermann have yet to get theirs.
But, that’s definitely on the to-do list for 2009.
