Just found your blog. Love it!!!

I was just telling a friend this afternoon that I stopped watching Olberman months ago because I couldn’t take his Hillary bashing anymore.

PS: I wonder who has to pick up the crumbled paper he throws on the floor at the end of each show….

I didn’t read all the above comments, so somebody probably has already mentioned this. But I will again. Who does Olberman have on as a regular guest and to substitute for him? Rachel Madow! I am sorry, go ahead and criticize Olberman, but the mysogyny charge just doesn’t stick, and makes you seem like you are grasping at straws.

Keef is a misogynist not because he “critized” Katie or Hillary…
its because he refers to women as “sluts” (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan), “dumb” (Rita Cosby) and “cunts” (ex-girlfriend Laura Ingraham).

Keef is a misogynist because he uses his fame (and MSNBC email account) to meet/hook up with female fans (see Karma Bites).

And don’t forget the Jewish Anti-Defamation League censured Keef for his (repeated) Nazi references and salutes.

But, you libs keep supporting this Ted Baxter parody…

Keithie never tells anyone to shut up because he never has anyone on his show who disagrees with him.

Olbermann’s histor of mysgony goes back way before his assaults on Hillary. Do a google search on this topic, he’s had quite a few incidents of saying horrible things about women. It’s clear that he has issues with women. No wonder he lives with one young enough to be his daughter, it speaks to his controlling tendencies in a relationship, he has to feel all powerful which is why he’s intimidated by women. He’s no hero.

I guess no one watches when Olbermann use words like “slut” to describe some women on his program referring to Paris Hilton. He also was a big supporter of David Shuster when the whole pimping incident. The only person he has regard for is himself and his comments. If you are anyone else or disagree with him he will try to smear you.

He’s worse. At least when O’Reilly attacks a guest, he’ll do it to his/her face. But notice how respectful KO was to Hillary during his interview.

Could it possibly be he’s a misogynist towards women of a certain age……he’s 49 and has a live in girlfriend of 24. Page Six of the New York Post reported the following back in March of this year:

“We hear Olbermann’s live-in girlfriend, Katy Tur, 24, just landed a news-anchor job on CW11, allegedly with his help. Many are whispering about her qualifications, considering she once professed she didn’t go to journalism school and she’s simply been referred to as a “freelance cable producer” in New York and LA”

Her “qualifications” are very evident in the following photos of her in her pre-Keith days:

As for the claim that misogyny requires “harm”, what about when he suggested she be taken into a room and only “He” comes out?
It’s not just that he disagrees with HRC, or how she runs her campaign. It’s the manner in which he does so. His screeds are clearly sexist, and his talking points more frat-boy in style and nature.
