Olbermann Slams Couric for Saying Clinton “Received Some of the Most Unfair, Hostile Coverage I’ve Ever Seen”

I never watch or listen to Olberman anymore. He is way too biased for me. The media and the world ARE much harder on women than men. Men are strong if they disagree, women are just pushy if they stand up for what they believe. It’s still the same in most industry, too. Olberman is not Mr. Perfect. He’s human, and he’s wrong a lot. I’m an independent voter and I find most of the media is ultra conservative and leans toward the Republican view.

Obermann is completely delusional. If he’s referring to Lee Cowan, and I assume he is, he outright declared (with a goofy look on his face and stars in his eyes) that it was hard to be objective about Obama. Matthews and Obermann’s antics regarding Obama are well known. David Schuster had an axe to grind with Hillary after being suspended for his “pimping out Chelsea” comment. Campbell Brown declared before a panel of talking heads on stage that Obama had “voted” against the Iraq war, and one of the talking heads later made the same misstatement; no one corrected either of them. That was the day I stopped watching MSNBC. They’re catering to the kool-aid cult. Not one of them is fit to wear the title of journalist; they’re nothing but propagandists.

Liberals debating liberal bias.
Welcome to the club, folks. Have a seat.

What has happened to the days of TV news reporting when you really wanted to watch the news at 6:00pm and 11:00pm? What happened to real journalist types like Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings when you felt connected to the story they reported? What happened to respect? What happened to manners and good and kind? What happened to ladies and gentleman?
Keith Olbermann is a very rude, arrogant and very unintelligent type of reporter that feels its his right to rip and smear anyone and everyone. He thinks that smearing people makes him very important and a great journalist. I find him more of the Geraldo Rivera type – just anything to make him look good and feel better about himself. Chris Matthews should just go wash his mouth out with soap.
I will be eternally grateful if MSNBC would just cancel Keith Olbermann, his bad manners, his phony “good American” act and his Salem Witch Hunts. I’ve always thought Keith Olberman has always been the worst person in the world.
Thanks Katie for have the courage to say what you feel and not backing down the the obama crowd. They will soon start suing people for slander, all the while slandering everyone and everything in their wake.
Go Katie.

CalifLady36:
Last time I checked, you could still get the “news” at 6 and 11 from the Brokaw/Jennings types.
You’re talking about cable. That’s a whole different subject.

Keith is right! All of this is whinnying to keep Senator Clinton in the news! I do firmly believe Senator Clinton is a GREAT politician but now we need to get beyond this bickering.

Clinton was all too eager to exploit sexism when it suited her. When Bill Clinton said of the other Dem. candidates that they were “picking on a girl”, he committed one of the biggest sins possible for someone of my generation (born in the 1950′s) who cringes everytime a woman is called a “girl”.
As Myst said above: “I think it is funny that a candidate with “testicular fortitude”, like Senator Clinton would hide behind sexism when she just got beat fair and square. I think that if Senator Obama lost and cried racism, the media would be all over him like white on rice. And that’s the truth.”

olbermannfan must be the REAL olberman trying to justify how great he is. Of course, we know all those comments that “praise and justify” the orange face olbermann are just those paid obama hate monger hired to continue to spread hate – the more hate they spread – like olberman and matthews, the more of the Clinton voters will turn to McCain.
I really like a man to be a gentleman. Too bad that olbermann and his sidekick “Tingly” matthews were never taught about how much women like classy men.
But on the other hand, it really takes courage and intellect and intelligence and understanding to be a real man. That is a distinction that olbermann will never achieve. Just an orange face who gets so worked up he spits at the camera.

GET THAT IDIOT OFF THE AIR. I AM TIRED OF HIM. WHY DOESN’T OLBERMANN GO RUB LEGS WITH CHRISS MATTHEWS, THE OTHER KOOL-AID DRINKER FOR OBAMA.
TWO TWINKIES IN A PACKAGE, AND BOTH IN LOVE WITH OBAMA,
WHATEVER HAPPEN TO UN-BAIS REPORTING.
I CALL THIS KIND OF REPORTING SEXISM TO THE 10TH DEGREE.

When a TV person has the courage to tell the truth, there is always someone around to call them dirty names. The Obama people must have gone to NASTY AND DISTORTION UNIVERSITY. They brag they are so well educated. Come on, most of them can’t spell, add up popular votes or zip up their pants.
They are OBAMA STUCKIES.

Mary, MI – Yes you are correct and after I posted and reread, I did realize this. And I do like Charles Gibson on ABC. And I detest cable news. Thanks for the reminder.

It has been difficult watching the political shows this season. They spoke about personalities and not the issues that I wanted to know about. I didn’t care that Hillary had her hair in a couffe or that Obama played basketball with the guys. We still don’t know how the candidates really stand on many of the issues. Chris Matthews and Olbermann were so busy slamming people that they didn’t address what we really needed to know- The issues and where each candidate stood. To me that is bad political reporting. I am seeing it all over again between McCain and Obama. They are not addressing the real issues that middle class America cares about.

Keith Olbermann has guts accusing someone else of drinking the “Kool-Aid”. I mean this is the idiot who spews out Obama talking points as if they are God’s words.
Also, Katie Couric is in a better position to know sexism when she sees it, just by the virtue of her gender. And Olbermann has no cred on this subject considering he works at MSNBC.

Olbermann has become a despot, and can put the ordinary despots to shame. And just like uncontrollable despots, he and his despot colleagues on his network deserve a harsh trial and consequent punishment. Kicka.. ‘em.

Okberman should not go there…but Couric is honestly looking for somewhere to puut her anger because she is looking to use sexism (as many have reported she has already started using it) to say that is why she is not doing well in the evening news…
someone please tell Couric what their lighting designer is doing to her every evening.
She doesn’t loo friendly…they are lighting her to make her eyes look like the spawn of satan.
Some idiot news producer seems to have forgotten the reason Moonves hired her in the first place…
because Americans want their news anchors to feel trustworthy.
I ask everyone to go look at Courics broadcast and ask yourelves…does she not look like a robot laser eyed version of the woman with the big warm eyes who use to be on the Today show.
Now she looks like a ride at Disney.
Get a new lighting designer and set PLEASE…you will see you ratings go up.
and maybe you won’t be looking to blame every failure by a woman on sexism… because you won’t be failing as bad.

I think they’re both right, and they’re both wrong. There WAS a very casual misogyny about some of the coverage, and that frequently came from MSNBC. That said, it was largely the stuff of middlebrow observational comedy. I’m not excusing it, I’m just saying that didn’t have nearly the God-like power it has been given by the likes of Couric.
On the other hand, there were several overtly sexist moments in the campaign, and these were almost exclusively injected by non-media elements. And in every case, these sexist moments saved the Clinton campaign. She and her supporters can claim their loss was caused by sexism, but the day-to-day reality of the campaign shows that each time she was down, a sexist comment riled her supporters and resurrected her campaign.
If two those doofuses hadn’t shouted “Iron my shirt!” in New Hampshire, the primary would have been over in January….

Mary
34 million sites?
really on his lies…
you meant to say there are 34 million lying sites…or maybe 35 lines on his sites…
because what you just typed is a lie.
you really aren’y that stupid right “34 million websites on Obama lies”
someone needs to look at what they are reading when they google something…
get some reality in your life…because that is not it.

May I ask the Democrats on this board to pleeeeaaaassseee remember that the acidic comments made by BOTH Hillary and Obama supporters (e.g. those posting comments here and elsewhere, Olberman, Matthews, etc) ARE NOT the positions of the candidates themselves! Don’t let your legitimate hatred of them translate into hatred of the candidate. Every campaign has its fair share of douchebags (again, those posting comments here and elsewhere, Olberman, Matthews, etc).

why can’t people just leave sen. clinton alone?
she lost, she is not on tv. i haven’t seen her since last sat.
obama is the nominee,talk about him.
leave sen. clinton out.
i don’t hear any news people or bloggers talking about the other candidates who sen. clinton joined last week.
for all of the people that hate her,
she is off the scene now, why are you still talking about her?
she is not around right now, give her a rest.
for all of the people that hate her,
they also seem to be obsessed with her.
and this hatred says more about the people that run her down than any vulgar thing they can say about her.
she is off the scene, leave her alone

everyone is sensitive to perceived slights as sexism racism…etc..
but it is hard to say that Hillary Clinton received some of the most SEXIST coverage…
did she see what obama went through for the second half of this primary…and how Hillary has been treated by that same press for 4 years.
It is an argument made out of clay at best.
and Couric did trash a reporter who really was unbiased…if she was going to pick a reporter and trash him for being biased she might have wanted to pick up a mirror as she was giving the speech don’t ya think.
and as well tell her to GET A NEW LIGHTING DESIGNER on her broadcast…get her back to looking as trustworthy as she use to like the other two networks do …get rid of Robot eyes.
The she may not perceive as much sexism because she won’t be looking to use it for her own failure…as she has been reported to lately do.
It’s not about her being a woman…it has to be about she looks weird on those broasdcasts…get a new LIGHTING DESIGNER…someone tell her please…and Moonves.
she looks like a fembot…or stepford anchor.
Light her like the smart human we use to know.

Obama Obererman what’s the difference they both think they are holier than thou and I hope they hold hands and sail into the sunset. He and Matthews are just so outrageous and offensive I can’t stand them and go Couric You are every bit as good as the men and you are abosultely right the way Clinton was treated and trashed is terrible.

You guys are so stupid. Both candidates were hit with crap…Obama has to endure the Rev Wright thing and HRC had to endure the ” ducking bullets”….please, stop whinning…

I epecially like Olbermanns comment about Couric, “she wasn’t entitled to her comments”, but he feels no contraint on himself. Sounds sexist to me. Is he who she was talking about?

Obermann is an idiot, he has always been an idiot, but it has really shown in the past few months. Him drooling butt buddy Chris Matthews have been two of the biggest offenders during this whole mess. One drools everytime he talks about obama and the other one is a lunatic waiting to blow. MSNBC is blocked on my television, don’t even want to mess up and turn there and give them any ratings.

We can actually hurt MSNBC. Check out the products that get advertised on MSNBC ad not purchase them.
Advertisers who advertise on that joke of a network should pay for supporting sexist media culture.
I urge all women to stand up and deal with non-sense. Otherwise, like Rodney Dangerfield, you will get no respect.

I wish the uncalled for negative comments of people would just grow-up Keith O. and Katie have their opinions but such negativity is showing how people should just get over Hillary Clinton lost the primaries is over.

Obama deliberately belittled Clinton years comparing Pres. Clinton’s term with Nixon and claimed Reagan is a transformative president. All the jokers who still live on welfare or sponge off their parents are his supporters.
If we let all the parasites in US vote, Obama will win in a landslide. That’s right, parasites that want free stuff will vote for this sorry excuse of a candidate.
Keitho is a Wacko. Boycott products advertised on MSNBC.

Could we have a little reality check here? JR says “I epecially like Olbermanns comment about Couric, “she wasn’t entitled to her comments”, but he feels no contraint on himself. Sounds sexist to me.” — Let me see if I have this right? A reporter/news anchor can criticize another reporter/news anchor … but if the one being criticized is a woman then it’s all of a sudden sexist??? —- Sorry, it’s called equality. Women get to take their lumps, and be criticized, just like men do.

ROFL…
Memo to Keith:
You are a sophomoric toady who has become a cliche for self serving sycophant and Obama Drama Queen. Ya coulda’ been a contender but you opted to be a pretender.
Good Night and Good Riddance!

Keithy pay your taxes…..

What will be the excuse KeithO, Chrissie Matthews and Timmy will come up when Obama loses the GE in a landslide?

Roger Miller-What will be the excuse KeithO, Chrissie Matthews and Timmy will come up when Obama loses the GE in a landslide?
They will give us the same answer Roger, they are ######## about now. Women. It’s all the women’s fault.

The media is suppose to just report the facts, not try to influence or sway.
I certainly don’t care about MSNBC-keithy,chrissy,timmy’s opinions!!

I have yet to see a single comment where someone pointed to one instance in which Keith Olberman made sexist comments. You can argue that he was bad at hiding his support for Obama’s campaign, but just because someone doesn’t like a female candidate doesn’t make them sexist. Aside from some genuine instances of sexism (Chris Matthews, the Hillary nutcracker, the “iron my shirt” morons), Clinton was treated with kid gloves. Any other candidate that lost 11 straight primaries and had a 2% chance of winning the nomination mathematically would have been written off for dead. Only Hillary was allowed to launch continuous attacks on the guy with the 98% chance of being her party’s nominee.

HER COMMENTS WERE:
This is what he’s doing behind the scenes now while Hillary and Obama argue about whether she should let him sit on the back of the bus of her presidential ticket, or he argues whether or not she lied us into war in 2002.
@American10 … Except that Kelly Anne Conway is an Republican strategist and owner of the Polling Company. She is not and was not an operative of the Clinton campaign and was not speaking for Hillary. So don’t make it seem like she was repeating something Hillary had said.
What you wrote was terribly misleading to people who are reading these blogs. BTW, don’t bother to thank me for calling you out, I was happy to do so.
PUMA – Party Unity My ***!

america 10,
Why do you love the clintons?

low
you must not know the clinton’ history with the african american community.
the clinton’ have done more that obama has.
his history with the black community if you go back and check, seem to be more take than give.
so please do not try to put your racist thoughts on sen. clinton.

after law school she worked with marian wright edleman.
he is a decent man, as far as i can tell, but he is underqualifed to be president.

Just as I was about to let go of all my primary election anger…..
Olbermann lives in his own little world where apparently his opinion is the only one that is right and the only one that matters. He and his network have said the most crude, dispicable things during the past few months. Do we have to relive his comment ‘a superdelegate needs to take Hillary into a room and only he comes out’. Nevermind the fact that Olbermann constantly has women haters like Jonathan Alter on his show.
I’m so glad Katie stepped up and talked about the sexism in an open and fair way. She was not saying that is why Hillary lost, she was just saying that’s a part of what she had to deal with.
And Olbermann YOU get yourself into another line of work! Go back to ESPN.

Truth hurts, huh Olberman.
Olb – you are not good enough for reporting – do you know that??

Olbermann will see the results of his hateful comments on Hillary very soon.
======================
Very doubtful.

to your first point,i was just answering your saying if they love this country and want to be judged fairly they will campaign for him.
to that i said, they have already done a lot of good work for this country, of which i think people do or did not appreciate, or they deny it all together.
as sen. clinton said she can go back to doing the work she was doing before the camera’ came, they will continue to do good work not being elected citizens.
and to your second point.
so you are saying they don’t tell the truth, but obama needs them to get out there and convience people they are telling the truth?
your last point was not clear to me.
and i will say again, the obama’, and the majority of the obama supporters do not want the clinton’ around.
I don’t think they should force that.
because when he loses-you and everyone else will blame the clinton’
the obama’ don’t feel they need them, they don’t want them.
anyone associated with the obama have made it clear-they do not want the clinton’s.
so don’t blame the clinton’ if they don’t show up.
and as i have said from the negative press the clinton have received-they press have tried to ruin them, they have made it clear no clintons.
the clinton’ are people to.
you cannot say all the nasty things in the world about them, and then turn around and say, be a good sport, come and help, and if you don’t you are a sore loser.

olbermann was right. katie is biased.
there was no sexism displayed in the campaign except as exhibited by hillary clinton and her mindless army of zealots.

JUST SAYING:
Thank you; it’s nice to hear from someone who thinks things through and addresses the thought process with an open mind and a lot of common decency and sense.
So in writing this, I want you to know that I’m Just Saying… that you must be a very inciteful and kind person.
… and I hope you win the lottery ;-)

Couric is dead on in her comments.
MSNBC in particular garnered special recognition for its sexist, offensive coverage from “Media Matters.”
Matthews and Olbermann both have turned into Limbaugh type, clown commentators. There is only so much screaming, in your face commentary a society can take before it tires, thankfully, of such foolishness.
I stopped watching MSNBC because it simply became so completely untrustworthy in terms of objectivity. Quite frankly, that network is now as bad as FOX.

Thanks for your great blog, which I just discovered. Katie is right on.
I’ve had to stop watching Keith O’s show over his sexism about Hillary. It pained me to do this, because I had really enjoyed him before.
I will vote for Obama, but I have to say that the biggest sadness for me this election season has been finding out how many of my favorite “ultra liberal” male commentators, and even real-life friends, are sexists. This election has really rooted them out.
It’s also sad to me that they continue to get away with it, because they know liberal women have nowhere else to turn.
What are we going to do, watch that all female liberal network? Vote for the Feminist Party? Oh right…those don’t exist.
Still a long way to go, baby.

I have never understood anyone wanting to watch that show. Before he began his daily Hillary bashing, he was constantly bashing on Britney Spears, who I know nothing about and only know of her because he was obsessed with bashing her. Naturally I would change the channel, since it’s not news, just his daily rampage and verbal abuse of people. Also I could never bear his speaking with superiority, I mean really who is he to be making calls on someone like Katie Couric? She is a well respected professional. That gossip Natl. Enquirer style reporter Olberman is an obvious sexist, and he seems to either be unaware of it or doesn’t care.

Hillary didn’t lose because of sexism. Hillary lost because she and Bill were mean people in this campaign. The country’s had enough mean.
And the media didn’t criticize her because they were sexist. The media criticized her because her campaign kept trying to control the media and tell them what to write/say/show. You’d have thought by now the Clintons would have learned rule #1–don’t tick off the media. But no.
What women need is this: a better woman candidate. Then there will be no problem.

Getting slammed by Olbermann is something Katie Couric should be proud of, considering his type of journalism is closer to shockjocks.
Olbermann has embarrassed himself and it is quite ironic that he criticizes Couric, as she showed real courage to speak the truth.
While Couric seems to be stepping it up, Olbermann continues to lower journalistic standards.

Hillary Clinton politics may be debatable, but with her penchant for literally saying anything to anyone in order to win was bound to draw criticism like a magnet draws an iron filing. To say that she was subject to sex descrimination totally sidesteps, all the ways that Senator Clinton’s constant pandering for votes, and willingness to frequently paint Barak Obama as a worse choice than McCain was was the architect of her own undoing. We have had enough of the “love of self above all else” kind of entitlement politics with the current administration. In the end Hillary and the country will actaully be better off with her in a lesser but still important role.

There are no perfect journalists anywhere.. that said Keith O is light years ahead of anyone at Fox News.
In the world of radio, you would be considered a heavy-hitter. Keep up the good work Keith!

I also agree with Katie and considering KO doesn’t even get half a million viewers and Katie has at least 5 million viewers, I think Katie is right. Olbermann is a boob. He hates the Clintons, don’t know why and don’t care because I don’t watch him, any more. I stopped watching KO last December when he started his sexist rants against Hillary.

Keith-O is a disgrace to contemporary liberalism. It seems that only Katie Couric, Marie Cocco and Joan Walsh were the only honest liberal pundits during the primaries.
Olbermann is a foppish, pompous fool; a “liberal” version of Bill O’Reilly. And for that reason, I no longer watch Countdown.

For one, Incase you didnt know Katie Couric is about to lose her job, she is not even going to fulfill her contract.So it makes sense that she would join the sore losers train. Hillary has said many things that werent even true. The media came to her defense. She had the chance to win and she lost. Not because she is a woman because she didnt have a plan. She felt entitled. Everyone is going to see thing the way they want. But lets be realistic.

Phil Griffin, senior vice president of NBC News and the executive in charge of MSNBC, a particular target of criticism, said that although a few mistakes had been made, that they had been corrected quickly and that the network’s overall coverage was fair.
Cable television has come under the most criticism. Chris Matthews, a host on MSNBC, called Clinton a “she-devil” and said she had gotten as far as she had only because her husband had “messed around.”
Mike Barnicle, a panelist on MSNBC, said that Clinton was “looking like everyone’s first wife standing outside a probate court.” Tucker Carlson, also on MSNBC, said, “When she comes on television, I involuntarily cross my legs.”
The establishment news media were faulted too. The New York Times wrote about Clinton’s “cackle” and The Washington Post wrote about her cleavage.
Ken Rudin, an editor at National Public Radio, appeared on CNN, where he equated Clinton with the actress Glenn Close in “Fatal Attraction.” “She’s going to keep coming back, and they’re not going to stop her,” Rudin said. He later apologized.

Katie Couric conveniently omitted the many missteps of the her campaign- inability to manage finances, Bill Clinton, aversion to truth telling, offensive statements, etc.. Perhaps Ms. Couric is trying to increase ratings but that does not excuse her for making irresponsible statements.

Hillary didn’t lose the campaign because of sexism, she lost because her campaign managers made serious tactical errors.
And that is the one acknowledgement that has yet to come out of the Clinton campaign…they point to sexism, to the media, to the super delegates. They refuse to take ANY responsibility for their own part in losing the campaign. It is just that attitude that cost them the campaign after Super Tuesday, and ultimately the race.
If you really want to see an end to sexism, then fight the good fight, and if you lose, examine why, learn from your mistakes and move forward. Don’t lose and cry sexism, it demeans all the women who work hard and succeed inspite of the odds.

I think it is absolutely irresponsible of Olbermann to suggest that media coverage of the Clinton campaign has not been sexist. Watch Fox news or Chris Matthews on any given day and you will see the most disgusting public displays of sexism. Sexism cannot be completely to blame for Clinton’s loss, but it certainly was one of the biggest reasons why the male demographic did not take her campaign seriously. Iron my shirt? Hearing her voice reminds me of my nagging wife? Please.

Keith Olberman is a neanderthal. You couldn’t pay me to watch MSNBC.

Deepest sympathies to Tim Russert’s family, colleagues and friends.

It’s not a comparison between Hillary and Obama. It’s about putting down half of the population (women).
I’m disappointed at Mr. Olbermann. It’s not about bias against a candidate, it’s about bias against the women of this country.
Sexism is not acceptable, not toward hillary, not toward michelle obama, and not toward the evil ann coulter.
Sexism in the media needs to stop.

I have boycotted CNN news, Chris Mathews, and K. Olberman. I also make a point of not buying many of the products advertised on CNN and MSNBC. No need to make them rich for being so unethical.
This grass root boycotting effort does work! After 9/11, I joined an effort to boycott all French wine for being anti-american, and that industry suffered! Join me in boycotting these unethical news channels.

I wanted to express my condolences to Tim Russert’s family. He was like a brother to every person in this country. We feel as though we have lost a relative. It is ashame that we have had to lose one who always remained objective and honest and didn’t allow his objectivity to be clouded by his own prejudice. You will be sorely missed Tim! We love you!
Mary Anne

Studies showed that NBC/MSNBC had the most POSITIVE coverage of Evita, excuse me, Hillary.
Yes, go vote Republican, ladies. Vote for a pro-lifer who will send your children to an endless war and believes women don’t make equal pay because “they need education and training”. Cut off your noses to spite your own faces. Just don’t drag the rest of us down with you.

Marie,
Yes, that is precisely the point. We want to drag everyone down with us for our cause. So, that in the future, when sexist behavior emerges, people will remember being drug down for our cause, and will stop the sexist behavior immediately, even if they don’t stop it because it the right thing to do, they will stop it. This is what it is all about. We are having to force our hand because the right thing was not done to us. If you want to blame someone for putting a pro-lifer and pro-war person in office in November than point the finger where it should be pointing. Point it at the Democratic party, Obama, his cohort Axelrod, the American people, the black community for turning its back on a couple like the Clintons who gave a combined amount of service in the area of 80 years fighting for the minorities and women’s causes. Point your finger and wag your finger and tongue at them. They are the ones who have pushed us over the edge now. They are the ones who bear the responsiblity of a Republican being elected to office in November. Go to the source and not to the fall-out. Get your facts straight. Look at the entire situation honestly. Obviously, you are a pro-Obama person otherwise you would sympathize with us. Obama kept making sexist remarks and went unchecked. The DNC forced Obama down the Democratic party’s throat. Gasbags like Kerry and Kennedy made their decision that Obama was their golden child and there was no negotiation. So, put the blame squarely where it belongs. It is not the women. It is on the people who caused this situation to occur. I won’t back down. I have dug my heels in and I am staying in this fight for the duration. Marie, where were you with your pointing finger and wagging tongue when the Clintons were swiftboated by their own party regarding FACTS they stated about what factor race plays in a political race? You should have been pointing your finger and wagging your tongue at that time. Don’t waste our energy or time. We are in this for the long haul. We have 160 clubs nationwide so far and it is growing every single day by leaps and bounds. Put the blame where it belongs on the washington gasbags and on the sexist behavior that occurred.
Thank you,
Mary Anne

Sorry Katie and all you Clintonites, Obama is the person slated to lead the country this time around. Hillary and Bill had their time but that time is gone now. Go ahead and vote for McCain if you like. If he wins you can say goodbye to all those abortions. McCain will likely replace four or more Justices because in 2009 the Supreme Court’s average age will be 69. As it is, there are only two that were appointed by a democrat and those two will be 76 and 69 in 2009. the bottom line is that McCain will set women back to the 1960′s. So go ahead. Men stand to have a great advantage under a McCain presidency because after the Court repeals Choice all those women will be saddled with children without marriage and they will not be a factor in the workforce. GO OBAMA!!!!

Maybe Keith Olbermann and all you Hillary-haters have drank the kool-aid. It is blatantly obvious that Clinton was treated unfairly and that Obama was annointed by the press. When it comes to Obama the media and many American Democrats drank the Kool Aid. It is obvious that looking at the fact not the rhetoric she has much more knowledge about the issues and would make a better president. Wake up People.

One more Clinton vote for McCain. For the Obama people: He had no problem when his supporters attacked Clinton and her family but turns cry baby about his wife(the boss)-She’s off limits. Boo hoo. Prediction: Soon Olbermann will be doing “sports only” shows.

To George Johnson, So you watch Olbermann religiously? What an oxymoron stating relilgiously when talking about Satan himself! lolol Big deal. One sexist watching another big sexist! Who cares? Obama turned this problem into a sexist problem and now we will have the war of the sexes. I thinl ALL women should only go to work and do nothing else at all, just like the men do. If they give you any flack about the Obama situation, stop cooking, stop running the kids all over, stop doing banking errands, etc and see how well they can cope. They’ll find out how far they get! What a joke! Women have to do it all and you you guys is go to work and cut the grass! Bunch of dangling doris’.

It is not just that sexism and unfair media coverage was a big part of this of this primary. It is the result of these nightly shows of horror. We have now had a flawed candidte shoved down our throats who is arrogant, inexperienced and thinks he has been annointed. Remind you of anyone? No we are not whining we are showing our outrage because we love our country and fear that we are getting a pig in a poke. I personaly feel safer with McCain than with Obama. Obama will be run over on every issue because of his inexperience. Having had military experience myself I can assure you that McCain will get us out of Iraq and honorably. Wait until those generals get ahold of Barrack.

Olberman, couln’t even do sports without attacking a mans character, never mind his talent. He should never have been given a show like this, because he loves to hear himself speak, and God forbid that he would get someone who disagrees with him!! I say we make it a point to get him thrown off of the air!!! Write letters and let them know how out of control this man really is.
