| crtyree | Posted – 12/9/2007 11:55:57 PM | show profile We already have one site where people with no lives spend hours a day complaining about Keith Olbermann, if you want to complain about him, go there. I thought this was a site about cable news, why can't there ever be conversations about that. Instead it seems every other bulletin board post is someone complaining about KO. Even in stories that he is not mentioned in. Don't you people have lives? Or someone else to complain about? Or is it that he gets under your skin because he is for the left what O'Reilly is for the right? I realize that he is a part of "Cable News" but there is already one site devoted to him, this shouldn't be another. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 1:10:16 AM | show profile It's a sickness with no cure. There are people with serious head injuries that landed on this board and all they have on what's left of their mind is Olbermann's job. Frank Bozo was offered space to talk about anyting other than Olbermann and FOX News and the poor sod can't help himself. Did you catch Guliani's meltdown on real television today. Tim Russert made bituminous coal chucks out of the crook. Here's a guy who sells his services to the pariahs of the world and refuses to diclose who they are. Russert had a sound list of affiliations and it ain't pretty. Go with it Frank - gives some insight! |
| crtyree | Posted – 12/10/2007 1:17:10 AM | show profile I get the point that he will be brought up because of ratings and whenever something about him is mentioned here. But if you go back and look at all the bulletin board posts, you can see that there are A LOT of bulletin posts just about him...and he's not even mentioned in many of the posts on here, nor do the bulletin posts have anything to do with ratings. Also, what's with all the name calling? I hate it, it's not a proper debating skill and it just cheapens ANYONES statement. I hate it when O'Reilly calls people "secular progressives" and Olbermann calls people names as well. It's stupid. So if this is supposed to be a site where people talk about those on Cable News, can we please be above the fray...just a little? |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 12/10/2007 4:31:51 AM | show profile yeah, I was much happier a couple topics ago when the topic of conversation was something legit. I believe I've made my feelings are on what ratings mean to actual integrity and truswothiness. In case you're new, the answer is generally nothing. It was much better when the topic on previous posts was the definition of torture, the death penalty, or Joseph McCarthy; though frankly some of the other sides responses scared me. I'd probably do that stuff more if I hadn't been booted from the GOP blogs. But right now, this is a cable news blog. O'Reilly vs. Olbermann is the main event and as a result a lot of the conversation is over who is more trustworthy. It's an unfortunate trap, I would also wish that when ratings do come out, Frank and Olby wouldn't both start a thread on the topic of Fox is still ahead. |
| chucho | Posted – 12/10/2007 6:38:38 AM | show profile Frank is LYING when he says this: -"Newt says Boycott NBC and Zero Coverage here" The Washington Post (one of many) published this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/08/AR2007120801250_pf.html So, Frank is lying, again, even if he capitalizes the term "Zero Coverage" he's still lying. |
| chucho | Posted – 12/10/2007 6:47:16 AM | show profile PS: That "thanking the troops" advertisement was paid for by these folks: http://www.freedomswatch.org/ Freedoms Watch? I am disappointed because the American Eagle on this organization's Home Page doesn't have a tear running down it's eagle face! WTF? And where is the picture of the smoldering WTC towers? "The Freedom's Watch TV ads show wounded Iraq War veterans and family members of people who died in Iraq or during the 9/11 attacks talking about why their sacrifices supposedly help ensure freedom in America. In one ad, a woman who lost family members in Iraq and the 9/11 attacks urges viewers to call their representatives and say that withdrawing from Iraq will lead to more terrorist attacks in the United States. She concludes: "Surrender is not an option. Victory is America's only choice."" http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/4512 This organization is USING the troops, USING the 9/11-Iraq conflation, and its jingoistic rhetoric to put forward a briod right-wing domestic policy. From its website: "Freedom?s Watch believes in limited government, low taxes, less regulation, free enterprise, and more personal responsibility. We believe that a secure border is vital to the national security and economic security of America. We promote and advance solutions to public policy problems that empower individuals and are based on free market principles, not government command and control. Whether opposing liberal tax hikes, granting taxpayer-funded health care to illegal aliens, working to confirm judges who will follow the law and not legislate from the bench, or battling liberal special interest groups, Freedom?s Watch is on the frontlines fighting for conservative principles. " So, Freedoms Watch (sic) can BLOW ME. I support the troops by getting them the fuck out of that Iraq debacle, just like the Brits announced yesterday. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 10:06:32 AM | show profile Freedom Watch is a con job. I can understand why MSNBC didn't want to run this. It was O'Reilly's persistent ranting and pressure that caused them to cave. The add is to late in the game - it will have no impact. People are numb by war and just don't care anymore . They have spoken and demand we leave. |
| chucho | Posted – 12/10/2007 2:59:47 PM | show profile FRANK SEZ: At the time it was posted, there was NO coverage. I SAY: I'll take that as your right-winger way of admitting you're wrong in this case. Thanks. |

| crtyree | Posted – 12/10/2007 6:03:07 PM | show profile Fun This has been fun to watch unfold. While I do think it was a bad idea for NBC to not air the ad, I also think that anyone using the troops to shield themselves for a political purpose is just poor judgment. If you want to make a point, then make it. Don't hide behind the troops. Also, if NBC wanted to not run it because of the website that sponsored it, then that's their choice. They never once said that they don't support the troops. They objected to the PAC that was running it. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 6:07:42 PM | show profile And that's the point. It's a right wing partisan outfit. |

Photos Victim: Gang Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job. "Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There won't be a position here, and there won't be a position in Houston," Jones says she was told. In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave. "It felt like prison," says Jones, who told her story to ABC News as part of an upcoming "20/20" investigation. "I was upset; I was curled up in a ball on the bed; I just could not believe what had happened." Finally, Jones says, she convinced a sympathetic guard to loan her a cell phone so she could call her father in Texas. "I said, 'Dad, I've been raped. I don't know what to do. I'm in this container, and I'm not able to leave,'" she said. Her father called their congressman, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas. "We contacted the State Department first," Poe told ABCNews.com, "and told them of the urgency of rescuing an American citizen" -- from her American employer. Poe says his office contacted the State Department, which quickly dispatched agents from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to Jones' camp, where they rescued her from the container.

| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 7:55:07 PM | show profile Olby - what's your thought on the Haliburton rapes? Didn't want to change the subject on you - no Olbermann. Yes, back in May Frank earned those words as of today he's just plain ignorant. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 12/10/2007 8:24:54 PM | show profile Let me guess She's a Democrat or worst a liberal.That means shes just like other liberal with fake stories to tell about the war.Lets look at a small list of liberal liers----- Jimmy Massey Scott Beauchamp Jesse Macbeth She will be proven a lier i bet. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 8:30:06 PM | show profile liberal liers----- Jimmy Massey Scott Beauchamp Jesse Macbeth She will be proven a lier i bet. The genius of Olby - it's liars my illiterate fiend. The Haliburton story is big - the other stuff is petty nonsense. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 12/10/2007 8:30:33 PM | show profile "Haliburton rapes" have nothing to do with this thread. Wheres the Libs"lets not rush to judgement" comments??? Lets don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.{Remember the Duke Lacrosse Case} You have to understand Frank.Libs on this board suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) .BDS spreads to anything that they can connect to Bush. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 12/10/2007 8:34:18 PM | show profile LOL "liers" " liars" The genius of crimedog - it's friend my illiterate friend. So ummmmm crimedog,how many people are posting under your name???? This can't be the real crimedog. |
| crtyree | Posted – 12/10/2007 8:53:41 PM | show profile sick It's ok if you want to judge the validity of a story. But to somehow hope that a supposed rape victim is lying, that's just demented. But to hope that she's lying because it's a story dealing with a group who happens to be friends with Bush, just because it's a bad story for that group. That's worse. Let's not rush to judgment; but let's also try to not some how think that a woman is lying about rape for partisan reasons. There are other reasons she could have lied for partisan reasons. Rape is not one. So while you say to not rush to judgment, don't rush to think she's partisan. Do what you say. Let the facts come out. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 12/10/2007 9:10:02 PM | show profile Dont forget she has a website . |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 12/10/2007 9:50:34 PM | show profile You two jerks have no compassion or judgement. Just when I think Bozo and Olby have scraped bottom they claw their way closer to hell. I hope the room is plenty hot for you creeps. |
