More Faux Outrage


Beck Weeps
Ooooh!  The Wingnuts are MAD tonight!

They're all incensed that Keith Olbermann, host of "Countdown" on MSNBC, has written a post on The Daily Kos asking people who read that site to "send everything they have" on Glenn Beck, the obnoxious and insane talking head on Fox News.

Incidentally, he keeps spelling "oligarchy" wrong to make fun of Glenn Beck, who attempted to create an acronym out of "oligarchy" but didn't include a word for the "c." Honestly, it's my guess that word was "communist" but he abandoned it before going live. Nope: Commenters tell me the word was "czar," and further tell me he deliberately omitted it to "set up" his liberal critics. I don't get that last bit myself, but that's what I'm told.

You know the persnickety dick who catches you in a typo in an online spat and then won't shut up about it for six weeks? Yeah.

So, Olby's trolling for "news" from the Daily Kos.

And it's true.  Here's what "Olby" wrote.

I don't know why I've got this phrasing in my head, but: Find everything you can about Glenn Beck,  Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes.

No, even now, I refuse to go all caps.

No, sending me links to the last two Countdowns with my own de-constructions of his biblical vision quality Communist/Fascist/Socialist/Zimbalist art at Rockefeller Center (where, curiously, he works, Comrade) doesn't count. Nor does sending me links to  specious inappropriate point-underscoring prove-you're-innocent made-up rumors.

Tuesday we will expand this to the television audience and have a dedicated email address to accept leads, tips, contacts, on Beck, his radio producer Burguiere, and the chief of his tv enablers, Ailes (even though Ailes' power was desperately undercut when he failed to pull off his phony "truce" push).

Now, if you were to stop reading THERE, you might be outraged TOO!  And since Wingnuts generally only read what they're TOLD to read so they can parrot back the correct talking points on cue, they probably did NOT read WHY Olbermann is doing this.

This becomes necessary after this in order to prove various cliches about goose and gander, and to remind everybody to walk softly and carry a big popsicle, and most particularly to save this nation from the Oligarhy of The Stupid.

BeckSo, you see?  In Wingnut World it's an OUTRAGE if Olbermann tells his viewers to send in info on Beck.  But it's perfectly Okey Dokey if BECK tells HIS wingnut worshippers to send in information on three public servants.

Goose?  Meet gander.

Will the media CALL Beck and the wingnuts on this, yet ANOTHER hypocrisy?

What do YOU think?

Insanity is apparently a prerequisite for working on "Fox 'Lies R Us''News?' With An Agenda". Which explains Fox.

Why they are not shut down by the FCC is the real question?

"Do not link before burning to disc."

That's some paranoia there.
