BURN IN HELL

Keith Olbermann seemed visibly shaken yesterday after Donald Trump said at the third presidential debate that he might not accept the results of the election.
“It was the first time in American history, through dozens of venomous painful campaigns and a series of impossibly close elections, the first and only time that a candidate of a major party had violated the fundamental precept of our democracy,” Olbermann explained. “It shakes every one of our freedoms, it mocks every dead American soldier, it spits in every sacrifice made under our flag.”
“This time it slipped passed no one. Not the moderator, not Fox News, not even Breitbart.com,” he continued. “It was not a flash of anger from a man who gets angry once an hour. It was not another slab of red meat thrown to his crazed supporters. It was not another outrageous statement to throw up against the wall in this cheap reality show version of a presidential campaign. He meant it! He means it!”

Shouting at the camera, Olbermann declared: “Donald Trump is not invested in Democracy! Donald Trump is not invested in our Constitution! Donald Trump is not invested in America! Donald Trump is not invested in preventing people from being killed on the streets after an election like this were a Third World police state!”

“Burn. In. Hell!” the broadcaster yelled.

Olbermann concluded by calling on the Republican Party to force its nominee to withdraw.
“Compel him to withdraw! Now!” Olbermann demanded. “Litigate against him, find enough doctors and have him declared psychiatrically incompetent. At minimum, cut off his funding completely and denounce him in the strongest possible terms because this nightmare, this fascist, this Trump is now your responsibility.”

OLBERMANN POINTS TO DEPLOARBLE TRUMPANZEES

In Keith Olbermann’s Thursday edition, he names names when listing off all the ways that both Trump’s campaign and his official surrogates are truly deplorable.

Olbernamm lists off the fact that vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence can’t bring himself to describe David Duke as “deplorable”; new videos of Trump supporters punching protesters, including a 69-year-old woman who was on an oxygen tank; Trump surrogate Carl Paladino calling for the lynching of Attorney General Loretta Lynch and for smearing Khzir Khan as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood; and Trump himself making sexist remarks about Megyn Kelly, Carly Fiorina and Heidi Cruz.

Olbermann pointed out that all of these deplorable statements must be aimed at drawing the support of people who are, in all likelihood, pretty deplorable.
“These are campaign leaders, surrogates, friends of Mr. Trump,” Olbermann pointed out. “If they’re not talking to a basket full of deplorables, who are they talking to? Why would you have them there? You stuff like that at work, you get fired.”

COULD ORANGE HITLER PASS A SANITY TEST?



OLBERMANN ASK'S, CAN TRUMPENSTEIN PASS A SANITY TEST?


Keith Olbermann attempted to understand Republican presidential nominee Orange Hitler aka [Donald Trump] this week through the lens of clinical psychology and determined that the candidate could not pass one of the most widely used “sanity” assessments used to predict criminal and antisocial behavior.

In a column for Vanity Fair that was published on Thursday, Olbermann noted that Trump had repeatedly questioned the sanity of his rivals, including Glenn Beck, Ben Carson, Barack Obama, Ted Cruz and Megyn Kelly.

VIDEO COURTESY OF VANITY FAIR



To evaluate Trump, Olbermann chose a test developed by Canadian criminal psychologist Robert D. Hare. “The Hare Psychopathy Checklist,” Olbermann explained, “serves as a kind of triage device to separate the injured from the tripping from the psychopathic.”

The test awards points for 20 different personality traits. With a maximum score of 40, the test sets the threshold for clinical psychopathy at 30 points.

The Hare checklist considers traits like grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, shallow affect, lack of empathy, parasitic lifestyle, promiscuous sexual behavior, early behavior problems, irresponsibility and failure to accept responsibility for one’s own actions.

And out of 40 possible points, Trump scored 32 — putting him over the 30 point threshold for a diagnosis of clinical psychopathy.
“The implications are clear,” Olbermann wrote. “Our Trumperor’s New Clothes media rightly sees the latest Trump ‘event’—whatever it is this time—as one of the most unbelievable developments in American political history. But the simple mechanics of following, reporting, and writing the proverbial ‘new high in low’ every single day means that they could be missing one overriding truth about the health of the most remarkable presidential candidate since at least 1864.”
“In short, our amateurs’ exercise with the very professional Hare Psychopathy Checklist suggests that if you were betting on it, you’d probably want to bet that Donald Trump couldn’t pass a sanity test—open book,” Olbermann concluded.

We miss Oblermann’s political daily input, and I for one certainly wish we could get him back on the airwaves - as there is not a better slayer of the green slimy two toed sloth [GOP] than Olbermann!

OLBERMANN IS BACK, IF ONLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT TO DESTROY CLOWNSTICK

Keith Olbermann blistered [Fuckface Von Clownstick] Donald Trump in a column for the Washington Post on Tuesday, portraying him as being oblivious when it came to being a landlord, let alone a presidential candidate.
“Take away the un-mappable comb-over and the unstoppable mouth and the Freudian-rich debates about genitalia, and there is no Trump campaign,” Olbermann wrote. “Donald Trump’s few forays into actual issues suggest he is startlingly unaware of how the presidency or even ordinary governance works.”
Olbermann stated that he was moving out of a Trump-owned building in New York City after nine years out of the feeling that the Republican presidential candidate’s very name has “degraded the public discourse and the nation itself.”

Olbermann pointed to a University of Massachusetts at Amherst study showing that the real estate magnate won the heaviest support from Republican voters with “authoritarian inclinations.”
“There could still be enough idiots to elect Trump this November. Hell, I was stupid enough to move into one of his buildings,” Olbermann wrote.
Olbermann added that Trump’s lackadaisical nature; according to Olbermann, it took months for his staff to complete the repairs when his building’s elevator broke down, as well as several heating units.

Olbermann said:
“If there is a President Trump and he decides to build this ludicrous wall to prevent the immigration from Mexico that isn’t happening, and he uses that same contractor, it’ll take them about a thousand years to finish it,”
If only Olbermann could find a venue that suited him full time, his daily slamming of the green slimy two toed sloth [GOP] is greatly missed, especially by this blogger.

OCTOBER SURPRISE: GOP Just Learned That YouTube Has A Search Function.

Sean Hannity Exposes Years Old Video Equates to "Nontroversary"


Matt Drudge:
“@DRUDGE: Curious tape dropping tonight. NOT from MOTHERJONES. Will cause controversy, ignite accusations of racism -- in both directions!” tweeted at 2:03 p.m. Tuesday.
"The veneer stripped away revealing the hollowness and rot inside." says one "EOD" over at the dead Breitbart's website. If only this was the case. It's nothing Mitt, just go back to your zingers, Governor. Not Breaking news, as Hannity is showing old Obama footage.

Sean Hannity, The Daily Caller [Tucker "I snooker you" Carlson], and Drudge Report spent hours hyping a racially explosive secret video of President Obama. But the bombshell clip turned out to be a public speech from Hampton University on June 2007 that was covered by you know who [fixed noise] on Tuesday, June 5, 2007. 6:00 PM EST. It was also covered by other major networks.

Excerpts of the open press speech to historically black Hampton University were already easily available (and quickly discovered by reporters after Drudge teased the clip on his website hours before the “new” Daily Caller/Hannity clip even aired). But Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson claimed the video was relevant because it contained additional ad-libbed portions that went off the prepared remarks.

Let's not forget readers, that Carlson is a sneaky diabolical shit from way back, on November 9, 2010 Huffington Post writer Jack Mirkinson exposed Carlson for sending emails while posing as another - that other, my mentor Keith Olbermann. Just Google Carlson with words like 'unethical" and "diabolical" and view the plethora of disgusting stories that pop up. For added enjoyment, go to YouTube and search ” Dangerous Conversation with Tucker Carlson" parts one, two, three an four.

Among the sinister revelations Drudge, Hannity, and Carlson cited: Obama’s use of what they considered an overly African-American cadence to his voice in front of the majority. “This accent is absurd. This is not the way Obama talks,” Carlson said on Faux. Drudge Report teased “THE ACCENT” [Maybe we should hand out free copies of Rosetta Stone] and “THE ANGER” as scoops.

"THE VIDEO"



If the Romney campaign isn't embarrassed by this, I know why they're losing. Let's take a moment of silence for the ostensibly self-aware Romney flaks who will have to answer questions about this video today. What's funny is the GOP is running the exact same campaign as 2008, and is now wondering how they can possibly be losing like in 2008. Maybe we should give Faux News a break. They've only had five years to figure out how to run against Obama.

What can we take away from this bomb shell one day before the first debate:

Desperate times call for desperate measures - Faux News, Drudge Report and The Daily Caller all are still full of more fecal matter than a Christmas Turkey.

Lessons Learned: Having your own media outlet isn't always helpful in elections where lots of people vote.
 
Hint to Sean, Matt and Tucker: It isn't "breaking" if it's been on YouTube for more than 96 hours. 

On the scale of nontroversies, years old YouTube videos, are a step up from the birther stuff......I suppose. I honestly thought the GOP couldn't get any worse...guess what, we have been bamboozled again - to once again see that the bottom feeders still run rampant in the party of "know-nothings", the party of ignorance, the party that is aptly named, "The American Taliban".

CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE - WOMEN, NOT SO MUCH




"Be prepared, then, for racial and religious profiling, because you've got to blame somebody for all the reductions in domestic spending and civil liberties, just to make sure the agitators against the United Corporate States of America are kept unheard.

Be prepared for those poor dumb manipulated bastards, the Tea Partiers, to have a glorious few years as the front men as the corporations that bankroll them slowly unroll their total control of our political system. And then be prepared to watch them be banished, maybe outlawed, when a few of the brighter ones suddenly realize that the corporations have made them the Judas Goats of American Freedom."

The above quotes, and the below video [US Government for Sale] is by Keith Olbermann - of the once hit show MSNBC "Countdown". This story aired January 21, 2012. Watch it below.


US GOVERNMENT FOR SALE


Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy




Its amazing to see how many things Keith spoke and wrote about - almost two years ago, that are coming to fruition today. Scary, yes, real, yes, so what are we going to do about it?


MITT ROMNEY ON CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE TOO:





If corporations are truly people then let's put them in prison when they commit crimes.

How many prisons do we have to build to hold Halliburton behind bars for raping Jamie Leigh Jones? How about BP and the Gulf Oil Spill, sounds like vandalism run wild to me.Think of all the jobs and profits to be made from putting our corporate criminals behind bars. Fukushima, shouldn't those corporations that built the plant be held accountable, put in prison, and then assigned to be on the cleanup crews? But then again, thinking rationale, I don't think I would like Dick Cheney walking around picking up trash in my neighborhood - in his bright orange jump suit.

Citizens United was and is at the forefront of "corporations are people" - whom are the lunatic fringe of the right, and they assert their mission as "being dedicated to restoring the United States government to "citizens' control" and to "assert American values of limited government, freedom of enterprise, strong families, and national sovereignty and security."

This philosophy is a fascist shell game, corporations are only people when it is advantageous to the corporation in its pursuit of profit, regardless of consequences.

Let's face it readers, corporations are an artificial legal construct designed to shield the owners of a business from legal liability arising from its actions. It serves a useful purpose in society, but it is not a person. It is not created equal to humans and it does not have inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It does not get to vote, and it has no place participating in the elections process. Whether and how much to tax corporations is an economic decision, far removed from the question of personhood. While decisions about how people are treated in a society are based on fundamental rights, decisions about how corporations are treated are based on the strategic best interests of the society as a whole. Corporations may be important to people, they may employ people, they may be owned and run by people, but they are not people.

BLOCK THE VOTE X TWO

States That Are Trying To Suppress The Vote

Voter suppression laws have been passed across the country, but Pennsylvania's voter ID law may be the most restrictive one yet.

After yesterday's oral arguments, its fate now rests in the hands of the PA Supreme Court. If you missed it, check out the comprehensive coverage of what happened, and what we can expect.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



Let's be clear readers the only way the Robme/Lyin Ryan ticket can win is to suppress the vote.



You think Newsroom was first? No. Keith Olbermann talked about Dorothy Cooper and her inability to vote last year. He did what Newsroom does - but every single night. Substantive reporting, incisive commentary, and all delivered with wit and compassion.



I miss seeing my mentor Keith Olbermann on my TV screen each night.

If the above videos don't get your attention, watch this last one.



Get out and "rock the vote" readers, speak to your neighbors, your workmates, speak at social events, we need to ensure that "all" Americans keep this very fundamental right, the right to vote!

17 Reasons Why Breitbart Is Not To Be Trusted

Everything You Don't Want To Be, "Andrew Breitbart"

Current TV's Keith Olbermann Pointing Out Andy Breitbart's Great Jouralism




Debunking Breitbart's "Occupy Rape List"

Quoting fellow blogspot blogger "St. Louis Activist Hub" Whom knows the Breitbart clan better than most:
"But what I think is so valuable about Olbermann's research is that it shows, quite dramatically, just how morally bankrupt the Breitbartian version of "journalism" really is. In basically every case, Breitbart bloggers twisted reality to fit their narrative. A real journalist would wait for conclusive evidence before declaring that some person or movement was responsible for rapes or sexual assaults; at Breitbart's sites, they throw out the charges almost daily based on their own interpretations of limited and ambiguous information. It's very much like the Kenneth Gladney case; the video was anything but conclusive; all it showed was Perry Molens pulling Gladney away from McCowan at the end of a fight. Yet Breitbart's gang of hacks declared that the video provided conclusive proof that McCowan and Molens had severely beaten Gladney, and they steadfastly refused to engage in an honest assessment of the evidence."



Why does Breitbart not defend himself on this blatant bullshit hyperbole? Why is it always that one of the useful idiots at "Big" - enter Lee Stranahan, - ends up cleaning Breibart's bowel movements, i.e. do his dirty work for him?

Well two reasons, one, money, like blood, is thicker than water, and coddling to the boss' ass is one way to ensure your still gainfully employed, second, it gives those the attention [ the "15 minutes of fame seekers"] that they normally wouldn't have gotten at home - because mommy failed to give them attention as a child. 

Comments on Stranahan's strory:

"Number sixteen: St. Louis. Again, the victim in an assault is identified as a member of Occupy, not the alleged perpetrator. ...

Woman assaulted AT Occupy. In her tent. That’s an Occupy related assault.

Wait – the assailant was homeless??! That changes … nothing."

Then why is Breitbart bellowing (drunkenly) AT Occupy to "STOP RAPING THE PEOPLE" when it's someone UNINVOLVED with the movement doing the alleged criminal activity?

For the love of Pete, Stranahan's logic is so warped and flat out dumb that he'd have to say that when that maniac killed the kids in Pennsylvania it was "Amish-related.

Like, seriously, gtfo."

Another:
"This whole thing makes a mockery of reasoning and is an insult to sexual assault victims.

"Related" is now repeatedly used as an excuse when previously it was used to condemn. Disgusting. The broadest definitions used to attach serious alleged crimes to a movement as if that group somehow isn't completely aware of, against, and actively preventing such activities. This is the foulest of narratives."

Another:

"The idea, pushed for months by these shameful websites, that the Occupy movement is somehow endorsing, advocating, oblivious to, or covering up alleged criminal activity has now been totally debunked. (Anyone could see it was complete bull from the start) Yet, instead of apologizing for this nonsense Lee Stranahan has taken all of an hour or so since Olbermann's piece to do some of his crack research to try to reinforce his shabby reporting (ie. narrative manufacturing).

Breitbart's bizarre and maniacal display at CPAC has at least served to draw attention to the lies he's been spreading about the Occupy movement.

Now he can go get some help."

 
Another:
"Wow, I was shocked to learn that all of the alleged sexual assaults were committed against Occupy protesters by outside individuals. We shouldn't be blaming the victims. Shame on Big Journalism. Shame on Dana Loesch. Shame on Andrew Breitbart. Shame on, whoever wrote this "debunking" article. Never heard of him before. Thank you Keith for setting the record straight.

You Breitbart people should feel really stupid right now. Keith destroyed you. Now, stop mass murdering people like you guys did in Seal Beach. One of your Tea Party psychos went on a killing spree and none of you have condemned that slaughter of human beings by a Teabagger. Shame on all of you for condoning mass murder!"



Another: Which is the most disturbing from the Breitbart asylum:
"For those still in doubt as to the nefarious nature of the Breitbart crew's despicable guilt by association attacks on the Occupy movement let me remind you of the time they attributed a murder to Occupy that actually occurred miles away and had nothing to do with it.
http://biggovernment.com/mikeflynn/2011/11/14/bre...
This disgrace was NOT retracted and is a perfect example of how the Breitbart people choose to "report" on incidents that might (if they manipulate them enough) fit their over-arching storyline. Just like the alleged sexual crimes used in Stranahan's list.
Gross."
 
Personally speaking, it's rare to see so many on this exclusive one sided/lop sided blog to have so many pointing out the obvious - that Breitbart and it's truthful fact finding bloggers (sarcastic) are providing CPR to the much needed faint heart beat of the teabagger society.

If you have posted in opposition at the "Bigs" site you get red warning flags like below, like its a bad thing. The red flags on Stranahan's post was larger than most, that is if not edited for content!


At our horseshoe meeting this am we where thinking, maybe, just maybe this blogger should stick to his "world renown photography training", for supporting Breitbart doesn't appear to be working so well for him!

Speaking of support, the numbers that despise and debunk Breitbart are a plethora, yet the only supporters in Andy's corner are Breitbart's "Big" gang, which at he end of the day, is both laughable and sad. But then again, liar, troglodyte, video manipulator, and teabagger are a cocktail that most sane American's will stay away from.

Ranting "rape", "freak" [whether on crack, the sauce, or sober] and other incendiary language for a "stunt" is disgusting! But this is the Breitbart we've come to know and love.

Breitbart's loathsome actions are sick enough, supporting his repugnant afterbirth is something straight out of Wikipedia's definition of Aleister Crowley!

How apropos, while visiting Breitbart's site I notice my anti-virus software "warning" me the "this site has potential dangerous and suspicious content"! I freaking love it, even McAfee knows slimy bullshit when they see it!
"this site has potential dangerous and suspicious content"
