      Well, of course they were the only things they could find when they, y'know, refuse to do research that would make their messiah look bad.

      A testament to how valuable the MMFA archives can be when exposing right-wing professional liars for the liars that they are.

        I got booted off a conservaitve blog for quoting Media Matters.

        Some guy asked me to list 5 things Rush said that were lies (or something like that). I listed 10 from September and the month wasn't over yet.

      I think Media Matters should choose a different messenger to address bigotry, rather than the sexist bigot neanderthal Olbermann. Just ask Michelle Malkin.

      I have been posting for the last four or five months that Fox News is the republican infomercial station...tonight someone else agreed with me, Keith Olbermann who said that Fox was a 24 hour republican infomerical station....AND THAT'S ALL THEY ARE. What news they tell is so scued that you don't recognize it as news.

        He may have insulted the little fascist, but what he said was hardly bigoted.

        In other words, you got nothin'.

        You'll have to cite some reasoning here. You guys can't very well argue that Limbaugh is allowed to specify people's race, therefore he's not a racist, while at the same time Olbermann can't make a "lipstick" reference because that somehow suggests he hates women in general. If this makes Olbermann a bigot, then Limbaugh's behavior qualifies him as one a thousand times over.

        Any criticism of Michelle (The internment of the Japanese was a good thing!) Malkin is bigotry.

        Breitbart? You pick that lying sack of lunacy as proof which shows that KO is a bigot??

        Who are you trying to convince other than yourself?

          Breitbart just provided the MSNBC clip of the neaderthal bigot Olbermann smearing the Asian woman Malkin, in his own words.

          We don't attack Media Matters, the fraudulent organization violating its 501(c)(3) nonprofit charter, just because they provide a video clip, now do we?

            What does his comment have to do with her being Asian? If nothing, then every insult lobbed at Obama could be considered bigotry by the same standard.

              Hello???

              Just plain criticism of Obama has been met with charges of racism, let alone insults.

              If one considers the University of Delaware's Office of Residence Life Diversity Education Training document to reflect the general consensus on race, then Olbermann is a racist, plain and simple.

              According to the document: “A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. ‘The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination….’”

              This inconvenient truth renders the white Liberals' incessant playing of the race card impotent.

                Hello yourself, I asked what Olbermann's comment had to do with Malkin's race. Are you having problems focusing?

                What "inconvenient truth" are you talking about? I disagree with that definition of racism vehemently, and it's not a mainstream view from all that I've seen. I'm not sure what it's supposed to prove.

                In any event, pick your standard. If Olbermann is a racist by that standard, so is Limbaugh. If you don't want to use that standard, then again I don't know what your point is supposed to be. We were talking about comments, though, not merely existing as a white person in the United States. Can you get yourself back on that track, by any chance?
