Keith Olbermann Dishonestly Explains His S.E. Cupp Planned Parenthood Tweet

» 81 comments

Last Thursday, future Current TV host Keith Olbermann touched off some controversy when he tweeted, about conservative pundit S.E. Cupp, “On so many levels she’s a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does”

After several days of Twitter fighting, and online buttals and rebuttals, Olbermann has opted to make non-factual statements about his intent, rather than simply to apologize.

It all started with Olbermann retweeting a link to the transcript for this CNN clip, along with his Planned Parenthood quip:


Olbermann was immediately set upon by people accusing him of wishing that Cupp had been aborted. It’s pretty clear that this was not the case, given the careful wording of the tweet, and the fact that the premise of Olbermann’s central disagreement with Cupp is that Planned Parenthood is not mainly an abortion provider.

For good measure, though, Olbermann explained his meaning in a tweet later that day:

I never mentioned abortion. I said her parents could have used counseling by PP rather than get the results they did

There are many types of counseling, though, so what type was he specifically referring to?

no, I insinuated her parents would’ve helped the earth had they consulted PP for birth control

That’s pretty clear, isn’t it? Sure, there are those who feel that this crossed a line, but give Olbermann credit, he’s sticking by his hellfire quote, and giving a prominent conservative hell in the process. Except he isn’t.

I didn’t say she should have been aborted. I said her parents could’ve used PP to learn how not to raise a moron


See? He didn’t wish S.E. Cupp out of existence, he just wanted her parents to get some parenting lessons. Aside from being a lie, this is arguably worse, since he’s now crapping all over her parents, who never did anything to him. Keith Olbermann, of all people, ought to appreciate the sanctity of the parental bond.

As if picking on S.E. Cupp in the first place wasn’t a weak enough move, and refusing to apologize for it (even though his non-factuality demonstrates consciousness of guilt) even weaker, Olbermann got worked into this “Are you Sarah Connor?”/Back to S.E. Cupp’s Future lather over a complete falsehood. Olbermann writes all over his Twitter feed, and his blog, that S.E. Cupp “lied” about Planned Parenthood in that appearance on the Joy Behar Show. Except she didn’t.

I’ve read the transcript Olbermann tweeted, and watched the video, and Cupp does no such thing. In fact, when Behar points out that Planned Parenthood does cervical cancer screenings, Cupp replies “You`re right. They do.”

The worst thing she says about Planned Parenthood, throughout the entire clip, is “I don`t believe in what they believe in. I don`t want to have to pay for it.”

By and large, she concedes almost every point Behar makes, and simply stands by her beliefs. What a horrible person.

It’s one thing to be wrong, but to stick by your beliefs. It’s not necessarily admirable, but it isn’t an indictment of one’s character. But to know that you’re wrong, and refuse to admit it (mostly because nobody has the nerve to make you admit it), that’s just cowardly, and it undermines whatever else you’re trying to say.

Update: Keith Olbermann (sort of) responds via Twitter. Here’s the exchange:

From SE Cupp:

Keep digging! RT @mediaite@KeithOlbermann Dishonestly Explains His @SECupp Planned Parenthood Tweet http://bit.ly/elu3Mw

From Justin Millikan:

@secupp @mediaite @KeithOlbermann…dishonestly explains just about everything.

And from Keith Olbermann:

@jdmillikan dishonestly – that’s Cupp and Mediaite all right

Say what you will, you have to give the guy props for a well-placed Pee Wee Herman homage. From TommyXtopher:

Clever. “I know Mediaite is, but what am I?” RT @KeithOlbermann: @jdmillikan dishonestly – that’s Cupp and Mediaite all right

    Olberdouche lies as well as his butt buddy odummer.

  • murf

    The man is a liar , pure and simple, I’ve noticed this type of behavior years ago. When caught in a lie , Keith Olbermann lies even more. It’s one thing to hate Beck , O’Reilly and so forth, but at least they man up and admit when they are wrong from time to time . Olbermann is a lying scumbag , whose ego and arrogance is off the charts.

    At least your finally catching on Tommy , better late than never.

  • ChrisNH

    I’m 100% in favor of Libs using Planned Parenthood to abort future generations of themselves. I’d contribute tax dollars for that instead of going into a crack pipe of some porch-sitting Obamo-lover.

    Good article Tommy. Of course expect Olbermann to throw some bombs your way now. He throws insults at anyone who disagrees with him. The other day he made fun of some guy who has a pro hockey player as their avatar(wasn’t me). This from a guy who uses a puppet for his avatar.

  • http://libertyinprogressnow.wordpress.com/ ProgLib

    S.E. Cupp is a f*cking idiot… who takes this person seriously? She just rambles on dishonestly about subjects she has zero knowledge about. It’s like debating with a high maintenance, 16 year old girl in high school, but this one is actually spouting conspiracy theories about how abortions are funded. You’re an idiot, sweetheart… get off of the TV and crack open a book so you don’t keep looking like a jack@ss. And we all wonder what she was doing on a show like Red Eye… because no serious NEWS organization or program wants to deal with her smarmy @ss.

    So Cupp was telling the truth when she claimed that abortions are secretly funded through tax payer dollars? That has nothing to do with her beliefs… if that’s not lying, it’s dubious and misinformation, at best.

    I think when his new show begins, he should do away with personally attacking people he dislikes. The list is simply too long.

    KO, just start listing people you still like (ie: people who have never disagreed with or criticized you)… it will take less air time.

    nice job, TC.

    I do disagree with you regarding his intent in the original tweet, however. i think he intentionally chose words that would allow him an *out* but he knew exactly what he was implying, and what he meant. And I think his numerous denials are proof of that. Counseling, birth control, parental lessons? Please. And you are right, he unfairly and might I add, cruelly attacked her parents.

    And good job on pointing out that he lied about her *lying* regarding PP.

    he’s a sad little man. it must really irk him that you have a bigger audience than he does….

  • http://www.nukethefridge.com MartiniShark

    I’m just going to go ahead and use one of Keith’s tested techniques here. “The words he used were clearly CODE for ABORTION.” There, now we can slam the guy properly for what we really know he was trying to say.

  • Bodhi

    Alternate Headline – Tommy’s man crush on the rocks?!?!?!?

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    i’ve always thought twitter was a loaded gun. i don’t no if this was the case with ko, but i believe it should come with a breath-a-lyzer.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    ko use of witty comments are something i usually enjoy, but he screwed this one up big time. like you said tc, he should have just apologized and moved on.

  • Judge Mental

    So, the latest tack KO is taking is that he meant SE’s parents should have taken parenting classes at Planned Parenthood? Yeah, okay, except that they don’t provide that service, either. Look, whether he meant she should have been aborted or that her parents should have used birth control to avoid conceiving her, the end result is the same. KO wishes she hadn’t been born. There’s just no way he meant anything other than that. And he can’t spin it into anything else.

    And, BTW, Tommy, your use of “buttals” is incorrect.

  • Arkansas Steve

    TOMMY,
    The real problem here isn’t parsing Olbermann’s tweets or trying to define his integrity/honesty or lack thereof.
    The real problem is that YOU WROTE THIS DAMN STORY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

    Can’t we have a fresher, better smelling Mediaite a while longer? In other words can’t we be Olbermann free at least until he starts his act on Current? One of the very best things about Mediaite the past few months has been the ABSENCE of Keith.

  • dummy123

    Maybe Keith and his new boss Al can discuss this over a massage.

    So far by my count, Olberdouche has implied that he wished someone would beat Hillary up, called Malkin some hideous crap and implied that S.E. Cupp should have been aborted. If you have anything else, please add.

  • Chuck from Tacoma

    Keith Olbermann is nothing more than an abortion that failed.
    Living proof that God does make mistakes.

  • JanieB

    Tommy Christopher clearly gets a hard-on every time he writes about Keith Olbermann. His obsession with the man’s every public utterance has passed the line of obsession and is now well in the neighborhood of “pathological”. Christopher nor the right-wingers here have zero problem with the fact that Cupp blatantly lied about Planned Parenthood–they just have their undies in a twist because Olbermann gave his opinion regarding HER LIES about Planned Parenthood. Olbermann is certainly entitled to his opinion–and it’s one that is shared by many of us who are sickened regarding the rightwing’s attempt to smear Planned Parenthood in any way, shape, or form they possibly can. So score another instance where lying is lauded by the right-wing and used as a means to an end to get what they want against a person or organization they have branded as an enemy. Obviously Cupp has milked this for all the publicity it was possibly worth and has made it clear that she will go to any imaginable length to simply get attention up to and including lying. Meanwhile, Tommy Christopher absolves Cupp of her lying, doens’t bother to call her on it, just seizes yet another opportunity to slam Olbermann. Did he take your lunch money in school Tommy Boy? Or are you still seething that your little friend from CPAC wasn’t able to lure Olbermann into a James O’Keefe style set-up?

  • Chuck from Tacoma

    JanieB
    Planned Parenthood rips upwards to 300,000 babies from the wombs of their mothers. There are many of us (maybe even a majority of us) that are repulsed by that evil. Even those of us that never see the inside of a church object to our tax money going to them.
    PP does not need tax money to run their execution chambers. There are plenty of people like you that will donate. If PP gets so many millions of tax dollars, then they can divert breast exam and mammogram budget money to killing babies and use the tax money for mam’s and breast exams.
    So quit spreading lies about government funding of abortions. We are not stupid. We know what is going on.
    Government must stop funding Planned Parenthood.

    We are ALL Arabs, Except the Jews

    (“I convey to you the Messages of my Lord and give sincere advice to you. And I know from Allah what you know not.”)

    Allah reveals in the following Verse of the Qur’an the entire earth’s population are descendants of the first man, Adam, with the exception of the Jews, as they are the Children of Iblis aka Israel.

    (It is He who has created you from a single person (Adam), and has given you a place of residing (on the earth or in your mother’s wombs) and a place of storage [in the earth (in your graves) or in your father’s loins]. Indeed, We have explained in detail Our revelations (this Qur’an) for a people who understand.)

    It is revealed in the following Hadith, that Adam spoke Arabic, which means Adam was an Arab, and ALL the Children of Adam are of Arab descent. And this is the reason Allah sent the Children of Adam an Arab messenger aka Prophet Muhammad [phuh].

    Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet said, “Allah created Adam in His Image, sixty cubits (about 30 metres) in height. When He created him, He said (to him), “Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring.” Adam (went and) said, “As-Salamu Alaikum [peace be upon you].” They replied, “As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah {Peace and Allah’s mercy be on you).” So they increased Wa Rahmatullah.” The Prophet added, “So, whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and picture of Adam. Since then the creation of Adam’s {offspring} {i.e. stature of human beings} is being diminished up to the present time.

    The dirty-white race is the race furthest removed from the racial purity of our Arab father Adam, and by default, this makes the dirty-white race the morally and melanin depleted garbage race and not the master race, only master fools. Allah will dispose of the dirty-white garbage race in the manner in which Allah Disposes of the garbage that He has created. Allah Will burn the dirty-white garbage race in the bowels of the Hell-fire for worshipping a murdered Jew as god, along with their evil Jew masters. Allah reveals the Jew’s father in the following Verse of the Qur’an:

    (I (Allah) made them (Iblis and his offspring) not to witness (nor took their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even) their own creation, nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders as helpers.)

    ([This is the] Revelation sent down from the Lord of the Alamin [mankind, jinn and all that exists].)

    ([He is Allah] Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the revelation by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives revelation) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting [i.e. the Day of Resurrection].

    (And to warn those [Jews, Christians, and pagans] who say, “Allah has begotten a son [or offspring or children].”)

    (No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. Mighty is the word that comes out of their mouths [i.e. He begot sons and daughters]. They utter nothing but a lie.)

    (Your Ilah [God] is One Ilah [God-Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He])

    (“And indeed, We created man from dried [sounding] clay of altered mud. And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.”).

    (And I have created the jinn and men only to worship Me).

    (And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.”)

    I cannot stand SE Cupp. She is a two-faced pretend conservative who will sell out to the highest bidder. Her voice is gut-wrenching to listen to. She is second only to my distaste for Palin’s verbosity.

    Tommy Christopher reports in his article…

    ‘…S.E. Cupp “lied” about Planned Parenthood in that appearance on the Joy Behar Show. Except she didn’t.

    I’ve read the transcript Olbermann tweeted, and watched the video, and Cupp does no such thing. In fact, when Behar points out that Planned Parenthood does cervical cancer screenings, Cupp replies “You`re right. They do.”

    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    Technically Mr. Christopher is correct, when he says Ms. Cupp did not lie. However, Mr Christopher, like many conservatives(and there is no intention to imply that Mr. Christopher is conservative. I have no idea what his political, social, fiscal or religious views are), is extremely nieve, devious or downright ignorant when it comes to the argument, Ms. Cupp was laying out . Ms Cupp says, and I quote…”I don’t want my tax payer money funding abortion.” I’m sure her statement is factual and correct, if it stood alone. I’m sure she doesn’t want her taxes to fund abortion. However, this statement was not a stand alone statement, it was made in the context, of a discussion, on Planned Parenthood. And the obvious and clear intention was meant to imply that Planned Parenthood used federal funding to perform abortions. This implication is clearly a LIE, and Joy Behar called Ms. Cupp, on this point.. You can argue, til the cows come home, on how Planned Parenthood differentiates between federal funding and private funding, and how they keep the two pots separate. But you cannot argue, against the fact, that there is a federal law, the Hyde amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funding, for abortions. So when Ms. Cupp says “I don’t want my tax payer money funding abortion” she is implying that Planned Parenthood is using federal funding, to perform abortions, and this is a LIE. I have no idea what Mr. Olbermann said, but in my day, when all the talk was about “withdrawal”, from Viet Nam. We used to say…”Withdrawal, is what President Nixon’s father should have done”. Sounds like an apropos argument here, concerning Ms. Cupp. And would have been more closely aligned with the “Religious Right’s” stance on abstinence.
