		<description>It seems that MSNBC knew well the incendiary tendencies for this Savage fella, but then again, in those heydays of surrendered journalism post 911, MSNBC dd the predictable thing of trying to keep up with Fox&#039;s conservative onslaught.

This shameful period of mindless overdosing on patriotism allowed the crass likes of savage, o&#039;reilly, coulter, rush(to judgement) to thrive feeding on the mindless masses shocked into political paranoia.

I find it amazing that there are actually people who gives a hoot about this savage, let alone religiously follow his brand of  neo-fascism.  Also, even if he has the most basic substance of rational(not), he&#039;s gotta work on his style big time(Olbermann should tutor this fella).</description>

		<description>I remember that savage idiot.  And although Keith may have &quot;nearly left MSNBC,&quot; I actually did leave it for a while.  I&#039;m very glad to be back now.

I&#039;m not really in favor of cloning human beings, but if I were, I&#039;d begin with Keith Olbermann (and Chris Matthews).  Their honesty is a wonderfully refreshing oasis in this vast American desert of lies.</description>

		<description>Lebowski, &quot;statements with no factual basis&quot;?? Your case of Bush Derangment Syndrom probably caused you to miss the link I attached with data compiled for Neilson that shows Oreilly beats Bathtube Boy in ALL categories by hundreds of thousands of viewers per night...so I&#039;ll post again http://tvbythenumbers.com/2007/11/30/oreilly-vs-olbermann-through-thursday-nov-29/1964 

Truth in advertising requires no other source than simply watching some of the commercials that air during BOTH Oreilly and Bathtube Boy. Oreilly&#039;s advertisers target a much higher income bracket. Hence Oreilly gets more advertising dollars which not only makes the show a rating success but also a financial success in terms of how much money is brought in. 

And although I don&#039;t disagree that conservatives have abortions too, it is at far less frequency than liberals who view it as a form of birth control. Since the majority of children take on the same political views of their parents, that would add credence to my hypothesis that liberals will one day aborth themselves out of existence, hence &quot;The Roe Effect&quot;.</description>

Thanks again for making unfounded statements with no factual basis. You rightwingers just can&#039;t seem to help bearing out our criticisms of you.

I mean really, mercedes vs garden weasel? Care to cite a source for this impressively idiotic claim? Of course not. Why resort to facts when obviously and embarrassingly unsupported hysterical rants are so much easier on that addled brain of yours.

Liberals will abort themselves out of existence? Wow. And just when I thought your claims could not get more inane.

If you think only &quot;liberals&quot; have abortions then you are truly willfully ignorant on the issue.

And try to read a bit more carefully; the link in comment #143 was posted by someone on &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; side...</description>

		<description>Sorry Lebowski. I went to the link posted as comment 143 and that doesn&#039;t prove much with the exception of the story of NBC and MSNBC posting their lists of forced buy-outs to employees due to large &quot;cut-backs&quot;. To me the proof is in the advertising. Watch commercials during the O Factor and you see commercials for Mercedes, BMW, Fidelity Investments, etc. i.e. targeting people with M-O-N-E-Y. Watch a commercial during Bathtube Boy&#039;s show and you see commercials for &quot;The Garden Weasle&quot;, and debt relief. Nuf said.

		<description>Here is the full quote that from the Newsbusters article that was &quot;cited&quot;.  Its funny how the quote was taken out of context, because if he had posted the entire quote, there wouldn&#039;t be any sting to this post...

&quot;    Wonderfully, referring to himself as a journalist wasn&#039;t the only hysterical utterance from Olbermann during this interview, as he also had the unmitigated audacity to criticize conservative radio host Michael Savage for &quot;basically just spattering invective on people he didn&#039;t like.&quot;

    Hey, Keith, have you ever actually watched your program or read a transcript?&quot;

You make me laugh!!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious as to where someone gets their information that shows Bathtube Boy even comes close to beating Oreilly in the ratings. According to Neilson Research, which one could argue is the most trusted ratings group, Oreilly beats him in ALL categories by hundreds of thousand viewers. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2007/11/30/oreilly-vs-olbermann-through-thursday-nov-29/1964</description>

		<description>For you Keith Kool-Aid drinkers:

So, Matt, why didn&#039;t you share with your readers the entire sentence in question, as well as the one immediately subsequent? Might that have blown your obviously specious premise out of the water? That would have been inconvenenient, wouldn&#039;t it?

Well, let me do what you have been taught by your employers - clearly interested in bashing conservatives regardless of veracity or integrity - not to, and that is share with the reader the entire quote and its context:

Wonderfully, referring to himself as a journalist wasn&#039;t the only hysterical utterance from Olbermann during this interview, as he also had the unmitigated audacity to criticize conservative radio host Michael Savage for &quot;basically just spattering invective on people he didn&#039;t like.&quot;

Hey, Keith, have you ever actually watched your program or read a transcript?

The point this shill either intellectually missed or disingenuously hid was the exquisite irony inherent in Olbermann criticizing someone for &quot;basically just spattering invective on people he [doesn&#039;t] like&quot; when this is exactly what this liberal commentator does five nights a week.

You missed this, didn&#039;t you Matt? Or, did you just try to keep it from your readers so that you could totally misrepresent what was written in this piece?</description>
