Howard Dean Tells Keith Olbermann it’s NOT OK to Call a President “Fascist”

By LisaB on March 28, 2009 at 1:00 PM in Current Affairs

If you’ve been a longtime reader of NQ, you know our respect-o-meter pegs in negative numbers for Keith Olbermann. We’ve done several stories about this guy and pretty much none of them use terms like “respected journalist,” “right on the mark,” or even “sane, sober and intelligent.”

But we’ve got nothing on Olbermannwatch.com. These folks’ motto is “persecuting Keith since 2004.” Five years. I admire their persistence.

Anyway, yesterday OW posted a priceless video of Howard Dean. Dean appeared on Countdown and, apparently, called Keith out. Dean said no one should call a president a “fascist.” Keith, well known for calling Bush a fascist, tried to backpedal, but Dean wasn’t having any.

OW put together bits from that interview with Keith’s “fascist” explosions. Enjoy.

Two of the biggest morons on the planet. Thanks America for your good common sense about those in charge of the media and the DNC. I feel sick.

olbermann should have been boycotted by ALL men especially dems after he suggested Hillary be taken into a backroom and “ONLY THE MAN COME BACK OUT!

In the meantime the SOUTH PARK kids tell us what this mess is really about!

Gov Dean is back to rustling feathers. He won’t join the group claiming to oust Blue Dogs, because he is a fiscal conservative, he has started a petition for Teleprompter in Chief to offer public health care, ie Medicare option, or he’s “not offering reform” to only offering insurance. And now he calls out Republicans for giving political red meat to your base (like he often did-ie, ‘Republican party is full of White Christian males’) while chastizing the Obot Cheerleader Keith Obamamann on his own Obot station, Male Sexist Network Broacasting Channel.

Has Howard Dean been sick? He looks as if he’s lost a lot of weight.

The news clip above is just too, too funny. Bencause we all remember those Olbermann rants leveled against George Bush. Of course, now we’re instructed on respecting the Office of the Presidency. Which only proves what a hopeless shill Keith Olbermann really is. And that Dean either never looks at Olbermann’s show or is suffering from severe dementia.

The hypocrisy of politicians never stops. On either side of the aisle.

Yeah, and if Keith Olbermann went into a back room with Hillary, he would come out singing soprano. And rightly so.
FLDemFem

If they wanted people to be respectful of the office of the Presidency, they should have elected someone respectable. It’s Dean’s fault, among others, that they didn’t. Let him live with it. We have to.

Since I’m happy and want to stay that way I will skip the video of these two scum bag drones.

Two pitiful jerks. Howler Dean should have stayed in the medical field where at least there his misjudgements are insured and KO should have run away from home and joined the circus. Olbermann is nothing short of a carnival barker.

Thanks. I needed that.

Same here. For an additional perspective on who the fascist really is….

to Scranton4Hillary. And as the old saw goes, Doctors get to bury their mistakes. With politicians it’s a 4 year sentence at best.

Thanks Lisa, I think I watched this video yesterday but like SM being happy today prevails. The last time I watched Olbermann’s show was when the breaking news was that someone had breached the passport files of Barack Obama and Olbermann and David Shuster speculated real time that Hillary Clinton was treacherously behind the breach when they had absolutely no facts on the actual breach, 45 minutes bloviating on the possible ways Hillary accomplished this. And of course Andrea Mitchell was there to break the news. That was the last straw for me; you can’t even imagine how furious I was. And Howard, too little too late, sorry but you sir were bamboozled and you disenfranchised long-time loyal Democrats. The problem in this video though is that Howard is mostly defending Obama from those who would call Obama a fascist, then Howard realizes that he must denounce all fascist accusations, including those leveled by you know who against W though he never directly insults Olbermann. Moments of righteous indignation for Olbermann highlighted as I recall.
Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites…

Obama doesn’t even respect the office of POTUS, what should WE respect HIM?
Diana

Dean wanted so bad to get rid of Hillary(the Clintons) who knows what he was promised. He never once stopped to think about the consequences of his actions. Now he is, but now is too late. I still say the reason they wanted her out was because they knew she wasn’t going to allow Soros to dictate to her who to run things, and she wasn’t going to cater to the radical far left portion of the party. President Clinton didn’t, and neither would she.
Diana

how not who
I’mFedUp

Diana…that is what I believe, and what I have been told by my friends in DC…Soros is on a mission to destroy the dollar, implement this New World Order, dismantle the US and make us weak, etc. Hillary would never have gone along with it, so they got rid of her. Dean was a big part of that of course. Now, there are people around Obama pleading with him not to go along with the destruction of this country. I was given a list of the names of the people who are pushing him to stop this nonsense but I forgot who they all were. If I recall one of them was a “Patty???”

Wish I had done that. My stomach is churning and burning. God. Why?

To quote Tweety: “HA!”
It’s a great video skewering of Olbermann. Thanks, I enjoyed it.

Same here I quit watching keith when he went vile on Hillary.

And why the sexist Dean didn’t say during the primary or even now that no one should inciting criminal acts as for example a murder? Cause the person killed was a woman and sexism is not such a horrible crime as racism is?? Repulsive Dean
socalannie

Thanks for this LisaB! I’d forgotten about Olbiewatch–what a fun website!

Dean doesn’t get it..we respect the office,
just not the fraud in it..
Jackarooty

Me too…the kindest term I can use to refer to him is “sportscaster”.
C.S.

Soros did not put Soertoro/Obama behind the desk in the Oval Office without the help of all those superdelegates who turned on Hillary Clinton and the wall of silence from all three branches of our government; Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The Judicial Branch of government did not adjudicate one of the dozens of cases filed in the states and federal courts demanding that Soertoro/Obama produce proof of eligibility. If Soros had the power to control all of three branches of government, I doubt he would have needed Soertoro/Obama to front for him.
I’mFedUp

I don’t get your post. Of course he needed the Fraud. We have to have a President. And I’m not saying it’s just Soros. It’s Felix Rohatyn, and many other extremely wealthy, severely mentally liberally deranged people. There’s something big behind this. And the Supreme Court is an embarrassment. What frauds they are too. They know that Obama isn’t eligible and refuse to protect the Constitution. I think that’s why Harry Reid is taking shots at Roberts. Maybe Roberts might be actually reading these lawsuits being filed.

Soros is so powerful that he can get anything done. If you recall, Saturday Night Live did a skit about him “owning the Democratic Party” and America. Well, within a very short time it was literally scrubbed from everywhere, the net, and NBC edited the show. Pretty scary stuff.
I’mFedUp

P.S…You do know that many of those Superdelegates who turned on Hillary had death threats, their careers threatened, etc., right? They didn’t just willingly all do this. The caucus fraud and the “selection” of Obama started four years ago and the theft from Hillary was the most organized procession of fraudulent activity that I have seen in my life. No one does that without MONEY and POWER. You can’t possibly believe that Howard Dean the buffoon thought of it on his own. This was big. Really big.
NoBamaNoWay

you are correct Diana; i think it’s a classic case of people wanting a “cool” (permissive, detached, probably incompetent) boss, rather than a strict but effective boss.

the powers that be (DNC, congress, media, etc.) generally preferred obama because they believed that he would be more pliable and be someone that they could “do business with.”
Sassy

Dean was late with his outrage at a sitting Senator from New York being called a b—h!
He has no authority to speak out now!
Heal thyself you sexist coward!
RebelCarol

Ditto that. I have not watched him since he started bashing Hillary. He really went over the edge in my book.
RebelCarol

I am sure that Pelosi was right up there with all the powerhouse brokers to make sure that Hillary would not be nominated let alone elected to the presidency.

Don’t underestimate Dean because he was calling the shots for the DNC. He, along with Reid, Braziel(sp), Pelosi, et al were all in this together to bring Hillary down. I wouldn’t put it past any of these individuals to threaten the Superdelegates.
RebelCarol

With politicians it’s a 4 year sentence at best.

Yes but it is us that suffer the 4-year sentence.
B JONES

Hillery is criminal, White Water, Travalgate, Useing I.R.S. to intimedate witness in Bills wrong doings, Vence Foster death. The Clintons involved in the theft of secreat documents from Federal archives with co conspiritor, Both the Bush and Clintons luandered stolin S&L bank funds thru Panama banks.
And let us not forget the trashing of the White House, which is the people’s house. No Quarter, is nothing more then a whore rag, for the Elite. Hillery went with Obama to Bilderberg meeting in violation of the Logan Act.Shes holding her postion as Secretary of State with out consitutional authority, She and Obama are usurpers and interlopers, The Republicans and Democrates are both fruads
B JONES

I should have spell checed it sorry
