Keith is only attacking Steele because he’s black. As Janeane Garofalo would say, this is racism straight up.

Score one for writer!

Olbermann is perpetuating vile sexual stereotypes of black males. This is racism and hate speech, and one more example of the fear and anger of whites who see their power structure threatened.

This has “racist” and “partisan hack” written all over it.

Wow, Mediaite really has a Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann fetish…Every time any of them open their mouth, Mediaite’s gotta report on it. Hint-idy hint hint: They both say outrageous things! Not a surprise anymore! Glenn Beck doesn’t like progressives! Keith Olbermann doesn’t like conservatives! Who’da thunk it?!

Did you morons watch the video?

NOBODY listens to Michael Steele. Not even within the gNOPigs. And this is NO breaking news.

Perhaps if you clowns remove your head from Marky’s colon and his blind hatred of anything related to Keith Olbermann you could actually make a minor political observation, RELATED to the topic.

“Racism”, “hate speech” — the right LOVES to co-opt things the left has been saying for years. It gives them a special sort of feeling of superiority to be able to call a liberal a “racist”. It must feel good, after all those years not allowing blacks and Jews to join your country clubs. Right, fellas?

The more interesting points, the substantive points, apart from the mindless blabbering, are: Does Steele survive? Because, let’s remember, he has blown through RNC funds at an unprecedented rate. Expenditures far, far exceed revenues and the cash reserves are minimal. I think he keeps the job unless he resigns and the party simply works around him. To a great degree, that is happening now. However, wouldn’t the evening of Good Friday or Holy Saturday be a great time to go?

If he is forced out, what of the party structure? Essentially, this could be seen as the victory of the far right elements of the party, now the Republican Plantation, Down South, and the (White) Tea Partiers. Does this cede the party structure to them? If so, what does that mean for the party? Does it lose its thin veneer of moderation, inclusiveness? Does the mythical Big Tent blow away? Can a party of extremists win at a national level? Can it govern? We already see the Party effectively unable to govern. It is truly the party of No! NO!! N O ! ! ! Do we now formalize this with the rise of people strangling on their own dogma?

There may have been a bit of the political prophet in Olbermann last night. I’m not too sure what will happen, but I do know the Republicans seem to be at something of a cusp. Because Olbermann has turned himself into something of a clown, it is distinctly possible a wise message is lost in the foolishness. Of course, the same might be said of Beck.

The message is also lost in the mindless, numbing obsession that some have with Olbermann, to the point that one fool of note has even co-opted Olbermann’s name in his ridiculous, juvenile moniker, and the creation of an apparently FOX-sponsored blog site, now in general disrepair and held in low regard. This obsessiveness may mask the message even more effectively than the foolishness of the messenger himself. Of course, herein lies a lesson for those caught up in Beck’s foolishness and repulsiveness. Although the obsessiveness remains far from Olbermann levels, we need to keep the focus on the flawed message and not the moronic messenger.

being that olbermann is the worst sexist on our airwaves (go to bob somerbys archives at the daily howler to see the countless times olbermann has used his show to embarras young women) im not surprised that ko is once again obsessed with a sex drenched “issue”. he is a freak and the way he beat up on hillary clinton during the primaries in such a viscous way should have given you a real hint as to this jerk’s inner attitude towards women. (that and the idea that he lives with a bidding “journalist” that is young enough to be his daughter)

Whatever issue Olbermann is talking about, the fact remains that when anyone disagrees with Obama, he automatically calls it racism because Obama is black. So why doesn’t Olbermann apply that same standard to himself when criticizing a black man?

Because he’s a flaming hypocrite.

Cubby, how generous you are in assigning credit to Republicans in the history of racism. But the Democrat party wrote the book back in the segregationist South, and nothing the country club Republicans have ever done could compare with the examples set by those hooded cross-burners.

@ felixw

You are exactly right ! How it ever got glossed over that it was Democrat party that thought the back of the bus was a good place for “those people” , or that a white only drinking fountain was a good thing , I’ll never know. And which party actually has a member who freely admits he was in the KKK ?
