The statement from the regular host of “The Last Word” came as he was chiding contributor Glenn Greenwald from Salon.com for apparently being a liberal hiding behind the word “progressive.”
“I am a socialist. I live to the extreme left, the extreme left of you mere liberals,” he said:
From the red colored walls at MSNBC, where pictures of Che Guevara adorn every desk, comes the news that mentally deranged Leftist, Keith Olbermann is out on his ass.
Boy, Republicans take over the House and Keith Olbermann is given the heave-ho too? Talk about poetic justice.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement Friday: “I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay."
Olbermann made campaign contributions to two Arizona members of Congress and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of Tuesday’s election.
Olbermann, who acknowledged the contributions in a statement to POLITICO, made the maximum legal donations of $2,400 apiece to Conway and to Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.
NBC has a rule against employees contributing to political campaigns, and a wide range of news organizations prohibit political contributions — considering it a breach of journalistic independence to contribute to the candidates they cover.
The network originally announced that Chris Hayes, the Washington editor for The Nation, was going to fill in for Olbermann. But the network announced late Friday that Hayes would not be the substitute host, after Hayes’ previous donations to two Democratic candidates in 2008 and 2009 came to light.
Hayes said on Twitter that his decision not to fill in for Olbermann tonight had nothing to do with his donations – which he notes were made before he became and MSNBC contributor, but because he “did feel comfortable doing it given the circumstances.”
MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts is filling in tonight.
Gee, somebody really wasted a lot of time an effort to what most people already knew about the legacy networks.
Doesn’t Rachel Maddow look like the origial Karate Kid?
The Politico reports that more people are getting their news about the upcoming election from cable television than any other source, and from Fox News more than any other cable channel, according to a POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday.
The poll found that 81 percent of those polled get their news about the midterm elections from cable channels, like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or their websites, compared with 71 percent from national network news channels, such as ABC, NBC or CBS, and their websites. Among cable news channels, Fox was the clear winner, with 42 percent of respondents saying it is their main source, compared with 30 percent who cited CNN and 12 percent who rely on MSNBC.
The results show the growing influence that 24-hour cable news has on shaping the political consciousness, despite the fact that network newscasts still draw many multiples of the number of viewers of even the highest-rated cable news shows.
“Because people can tune into cable at any time of day, I think the cumulative audience is probably larger than the cumulative audience for the three network news shows,” said Chris Arterton, dean of the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management.
It’s an open secret within the cable industry that Schultz has a bigger man crush on Barack Obama than even Chris Matthews. However he isn’t as articulate as Matthews or even Keith Olberman which why whenever Schultz is outmaneuvered on a debate, and that pretty much happens on a daily basis, he screams and insults people.
Although that may impress some hardcore Liberals who are some of the most ill-informed people in the country, for other people with a modicum of common sense, they recognize Schultz for what he is.
That’s why Fox ratings beats MSNBC and CNN combined day in and day out in every time slot.
People want honest reporting, not cheerleaders for the president and the people of this country are voting with their TV remotes.
I think I have more readers of my blog than Ed Schultz has viewers.
Some of Ed Schultz greatest hits.

He’s pretty good for a laugh, but otherwise there’s not much to the man
I occasionally watch Mr. Thrill Going Up My Leg, (Chris Matthews) who briefly forgot that Barack Obama was a Black man during the SOTU. One of Mathew’s favorite tactics whenever a Republican comes on his show is to badger and over-talk them.
Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many punk-ass GOPers like Mike Pence and others fall into this trap and never go head to head and toe to toe with Matthews. They always let Matthews get the best of them
But, not Paul Ryan, Republican congressman from Wisconsin. Every time I’ve seen him, he’s always prepared, not afraid to speak his mind, and as you will see in this video he stands up to Matthew’s bullying tactics.
As you may know I have dubbed the current GOP leadership the Pussies-R-Us club because they’re all a bunch of cowards.
Before I answer that, let me remind folks what happened on MSNBC after Obmaa’s SOTUS.
Chris Matthews who famously admitted he felt a tingle going up his leg whenever Obamam speaks, went a step further in his admiration for the first African American president of the United States by also saying he forgot Obama was black for an hour.
The mainstream media being colleagues and cheerleaders for anything Obamam says let Matthews slide for making a very racist comment.
What Matthews and other White Liberals are guilty of is the Racism of Low Expectations.
And Libs have been getting away with this type of racism for years and are never called out for it.
The dirty little secret is that buried deep in the psyche of White Liberals is the belief that Blacks can’t possibly achieve anything without social programs like Affirmative Action and other minority set asides.
Without the help of the White Liberal Blacks are eternally doomed to a life of inferior status unless they, the White Liberal, lift them up.
This is the same type of mentality that routinely manifests itself whenever a White Liberal encounters a Black man, any Black man that speaks without what Harry Reid calls a “Negro dialect”.
Such a Black man is labeled as “articulate” just for the ability of being able to put a sentence together without using phrases like, “ya know wha’ I’m sayin” or labeling any increment of time be it days, months, or years as a “minute” .
In addition, this Racism of Low Expectation is the basis why White Liberals hate and routinely malign Black Conservatives like Justice Clarence Thomas and Condoleezza Rice because they fall outside the template they have set forth.
Blacks such as Thomas and Rice never get the adoration nor adulation from White Liberals for their own great achievements because those types of Blacks are a threat to them and the lies they spread to the Black community. The message to Black folks is “you need us” to survive and be protected from Racists Republicans, and don’t you dare fall outside the program othewwise suffer the risk being called uncle Tom or a sellout.
I’ve been saying these things to my Liberal friends for years. But, the socialization in which Blacks and Latinos are brought up in is very hard to break and Democrats know it.
However, times are a changing because ever so often there comes a Chris Mattews forgetting that Obama was Black, or a Harry Reid extolling the virtue of Obama’s light skin, and Vice President Joe Biden not only calling Obama articulate, but also throwing in that he was “clean”, gives us Conservatives the opportunity and the right to point out the hypocrisy and racism White Liberals get to get away with.
That’s how Chris Matthews gets to be the good racist.
Most people don’t know who Keith Olberman is if you never watched him on ESPN 10 to 115 years ago. He was a pretty good sports highlights guy and he thought that qualified him to cover politics.
Big mistake!
Since leaving sports and moving onto the real world of politics at MSNBC, Olberman has become one of the biggest jokes in cable TV.
Mark Levin calls his show, Cointdown to No Ratings. More people vist this blog than watch his show. He’s as Far Far Loony Left as they come and he’s as big a Obama suck up as Chris Matthews.
The below clip from 2007 is of a radio show where Chris Wallance of Fox News really rips Olberman a new one.
I know this may be 3 years old, but today was the first time I’d ever heard this and I couldn’t stop laughing at how hard Wallace tees off on Olberman.

That’s how Chris Matthews gets to be the good racist.
It the final days of the hotly contested Massachusetts Senate race, Obama-suck up and MSNBC host Ed Schultz broke under the pressure of Republican Scott Brown possibly winning the seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy.
Shultz admitted he would vote 10 times if he lived in Massachusetts and referred to the Republicans party as “a bunch of bastards”.
I’m not surprised Schultz said what he said because the Democrat party has used the likes of ACCORN to rig elections in favor of Democrats candidates for years.
The lack of professionalism at perpetual Obama-suck up cable channel, MSNBC, is on display when Contessa Brewer mistakes the Reverend Jesse Jackson for the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Honest mistake or does it really make a difference to confuse one Overseer for another?
However, the interview itself raises another question about the quality of journalism, or lack thereof, at MSNBC. Why are they interviewing the Rev Jesse Jackson in the first place on the matter of executive compensation? Why not interview an expert in economics, or some other financial analyst that knows what he’s talking about?
The truth is that kind of stuff doesn’t matter to the O-Bot network. All this presentation is really doing is stoking the base in lieu of providing competent journalism.
