Several posters here linked an story about Keith Olbermann, which was entirely untrue
I see he set the record straight last night.

However, I was, um, er, "amazed" to see all of the negative things being said about him.

I suppose I'll just never understand some democrats.

link to Keith as posted on the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/05/keith-olbermann-defends-c_n_451482.html

1. Gullible people are not isolated to any party. Some just believe
anything they hear and never THINK! IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO YOU, SPMETHING'S WRONG! Always check the sources!

4. Yes, and there were DUers who debunked the article and people on
this website still preferred to believe the propaganda smear instead. As for those bloggers who went with the article without doing any fact checking first, well we all know now about how credible they are.

5. An "eggplant of a man'??
WTF does that even mean?

"American Thinker" is obviously not doing any thinking. They say he doesn't like women, yada yada.

I'm sure that Keith could get ALL the women he wants, and there are probably quite a few on DU that would stand in line to be his honey!!!

(Note: I think Keith is absolutely adorable, but there are two deal-breakers there: He likes sports, and he likes cats.)

9. Observe the info about the author of that "American Thinker" article who says Keith hates women.
He's a professor at Liberty University.

And we all know, a professor at Jerry Falwell's university is an expert on feminism and which guys are sexist. :rofl:

10. Or maybe they just do it for the love of it, for free. Whatever.
Then again, on DU we will always have the contingent with us that thinks it's smarter than everyone else on DU simply because it doesn't watch TV.

"I threw out my TV 20 years ago, never missed it since."
"The only people who watch teevee are idiots."
"Don't watch MSNBC. It's just a liberal version of Fox."

And so on and so on and so on...ad nauseam.

They can always be counted on to show up in anti-Keith threads to buff their credentials as the TRUE intellectuals of DU. Whatever.
