Tucker Carlson On Keith Olbermann: ‘The Most Disliked Person At MSNBC’
Tucker Carlson and his site Daily Caller have been having fun today with their new acquisition, KeithOlbermann.com.
We talked to Tucker in a podcast tonight about the reason for buying the site – but he also unleashed personally on the top-rated MSNBC host and former colleague. And Jon Klein. And Eliot Spitzer…
Tucker explained to Mediaite why he bought the site. “The opportunity to acquire KeithOlbermann.com arose and we felt it was a market niche which we could enter and dominate and it would be a public service so we did it,” he said. “Plus it’s amusing as hell.”
Carlson now uses the email address Keith@KeithOlbermann.com, and he says The Daily Caller will begin to give away @KeithOlbermann.com email addresses to their readers. Keith Olbermann has hinted at legal action – it’s something Carlson knows about since he bought his domain back from a squatter in 2008. “My domain name tuckercarlson.com, was being held by a squatter whose intent and purpose was to raise money from me, to extort money from me, to shake me down, to sell my address back to me,” said Carlson, who says this situation is different, and he will not be selling it because “it’s worth more than money.” The site plans to “defend ourselves vigorously.”
Now, about Keith specifically. Here are some comments from our discussion, but you can listen to all of it below:
I’ve heard a lot from MSNBC, from friends of mine who work there who despise Keith. I’ve always had kind of a soft spot for Keith because I feel sorry for him because of his various phobias. He won’t drive a car. He’s obviously a sad guy, in elastic-band jeans…
A lot of people there, as you well know, since you’ve reported on it for years, really hate Keith Olbermann because he’s cruel to people who work for him. A lot of those people have emailed me with joy, jubilation in their voices, in their email. Letters of congratulations, just thank you for doing this finally…
He’s despised at MSNBC…I’m not saying every person at MSNBC despises him but I would say he’s the most disliked person in the building by a factor of 10, and I would dare anybody who’s worked there to look me right in the eye and deny that…I don’t have any malice toward Olbermann. I feel sorry for him.
Well. We’ve reached out several times to MSNBC for comment.
We also asked Carlson about CNN’s recent prime time moves:
I think it’s great. I think it’s probably too late to work but I hope it does. I certainly wish them well. It’s amazing that Jon Klein still has a job. That’s amazing to me. But there’s a lot of good people at CNN. I’m glad to see debate make a comeback.
Of Eliot Spitzer: “The worst Attorney General, probably, in the history of the world.”

Michael Savage spews vicious anti-Muslim hate speech on his national radio show.
JUST SOME OF SAVAGE'S HATE:
"90 percent of the people on the Nobel Committee are into child pornography and molestation, according to the latest scientific studies"
Savage advocating "kill[ing] 100 million" Muslims
Savage on immigrant students' hunger strike: "[L]et them fast until they starve to death. ... Go make a bomb where you came from"
Citing more sex-change operations, increased lesbian fertility clinics, Savage said of 9-11: "That was God speaking"
On MLK Day, Savage called civil rights a "racket" designed to steal "white males' birthright"
To "save the United States," lawmakers should institute "outright ban on Muslim immigration" and on "the construction of mosques"
U.S. Senate "more vicious and more histrionic than ever, specifically because women have been injected into" it
Citing more sex-change operations, increased lesbian fertility clinics, Savage said of 9-11: "That was God speaking"
"Burn the Mexican Flag!"
Savage on the tsunami: "I wouldn't call it a tragedy. ... We shouldn't be spending a nickel on this"
GOP Candidate for NH Statehouse Rides the Racist Wave
In New Hampshire, voters have an interesting choice. Ryan J. Murdough is campaigning not on change so much as similarity. His message: Keep New Hampshire white.
"I would like to preserve what we have before it gets totally out of control," Murdough, a 30-year-old father of two young boys, said last week. "The more it becomes non-white, the more it's going to become a much different place to live, for white people especially."Well, yes. It will be far more interesting, peppered with culture and stories and music and people who come from a different place but are still people. Only, Ryan just doesn't see it that way.
Whatever you do, don't call Ryan a racist. He's not a racist, he claims, because racists have to hate others. He doesn't hate them; he just doesn't want them in his town.
So please, don't call him a racist. He says that's not true.Ahem. He's dead wrong on this one. Here's the Merriam-Webster definition of racism:
"I would ask you about your version of racist," Murdough said. "The word does not have a specific definition. If someone says, 'You seem to hate people who aren't white,'
I say no, so I can't really be a racist, because I don't hate them. I just don't want to live around areas that are heavily, predominantly non-white."
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular raceSo he's not a white supremacist (though that is certainly questionable). He's clearly a racist, simply by arguing for discrimination against people who are 'non-white'.
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
Ryan Murdough, in his own written words:
For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world's population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.There are no words, no arguments, no gushing-forth of facts and statistics that I could possibly bring forth to change his mind. But as a white person living in a diverse area with all of the richness different backgrounds, colors and nationalities bring, I could not disagree with his premise more.
What will happen to New Hampshire once it is only 60, 50 or 40 percent white? Statistics show that areas with high non-white populations have higher rates of violent crime. New Hampshire has one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the country, but that will change as the white population percentage declines and the non-white population percentage increases.
At least New Hampshire Republicans aren't afraid to embrace what Tea Partiers deny, but clearly represent: A small contingent of scared white folks.
By the way, is the name Murdough a colloquial form of Murdoch? It would explain a lot.

Aimee L. Sword sentenced to jail for having an affair with her son
The story of Aimee L. Sword is one of the most disturbing ones to be on top searches today.
Aimee L. Sword has been sentenced to jail on the charges of having an affair with her biological 14-year-old son. Aimee L. Sword had given her son up for adoption immediately after he was born.
Aimee L. Sword's son kept in touch with her through letters. And when these letters stopped coming in, Aimee L. Sword contacted him through Myspace and arranged a meeting with him. It was then when Aimee L. Sword started having sex with him.
In her court hearing, she pleaded guilty to third degree sexual assault and for having sex with her son several times.
Aimee L. Sword will have to serve time in prison between 9 and 30 years. According to Aimee L. Sword, as soon as she met her son, it was not a mother-son relationship and it was more like a romantic involvement. Aimee L. Sword says that she still hasn't figured out why all this happened and that she is going to seek therapy.

coroner says uk nanny loved herself to death
British nanny Nicola Paginton dies using sex toy while watching porn
The ecstasy - and the agony.
A 30-year-old British woman's death, when using a sex toy while watching a porn movie, was probably caused by her state of arousal, officials said.
Nicola Paginton, a children's nanny, was found dead in bed - naked from the waist down - in October as the porn movie played on her laptop, according to the Daily Mail.
A pathologist and coroner said during an inquest that Paginton died from a sudden heart arrhythmia, likely caused by "her activity before death." the paper reported.
Police had been called to Paginton's home after her employer, Sarah Griffths, went to her house when she failed to show up for work. She and a neighbor saw Paginton lying on her bed with her cat sitting on her chest, the newspaper said.

New Black Panthers To Glenn Beck
Tommy Christopher: What do you think about the rally that Glenn Beck plans to have on August 28, the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream speech,” at the Lincoln Memorial?…Are you aware of it?
Malik Zulu Shabazz: I am aware of it, and that Glenn Beck should not be allowed to have this rally. Glenn Beck is a sneaky little devil, and he does sneaky things, and tries to portray that he’s really not the neo-racist that he really is. And for him to go and to secure the Lincoln Memorial on Dr. King’s birthday will meet not only opposition from civil rights leaders, but it’s going to meet direct opposition from the New Black Panther Party.
Since the Tea Party loves Glenn Beck and will be there, the New Black Panther Party can easily find the Tea Party, right with Glenn Beck. He can bring his Tea Party, and we’ll bring our party, and we’ll see Glenn Beck. Since he wants to go on Fox News, but he doesn’t want to invite us on Fox News, he’s had me on before, I guess he’s got the orders from the top, at Fox, not to have me on…
Tommy Christopher: Beck had you on before, but not anymore?
Malik Zulu Shabazz: Beck has had me on before, I’ve been on Sean Hannity about 20 times, he’s under orders not to have me on, Bill O’Reilly’s under orders not to have me on. This is all a conspiracy. I would say a Zionist conspiracy, but you would say “He’s too conspiratorial.”
But it’s some kind of conspiracy going on, to keep the truth out, and to keep us off the airwaves, to keep talking about us, but not talk to us. So we’ll see Glenn Beck live in person. I don’t think his rally should be allowed to happen.
Tommy Christopher: Once again, any members that show up, you would advise them to act within the law…
Malik Zulu Shabazz: I’m going to be there. I want to see him myself. Sneaky little devil.

Here are some other racists Fox News Channel won't show you.
Leading off the pack is a fellow named Roy Warden. Roy is a well-known Latino-hating racist who is fond of threatening to kill his critics and anyone who opposes him -- and as you can see from the video, in fact packs a holstered pistol to all public events.
Warden is especially noteworthy because, just like those New Black Panthers, Roy Warden was in fact the subject of a DOJ voter-intimidation investigation -- and they indeed decided not to prosecute him based on a lack of evidence, just as in the NBPP case. Media Matters has more:
In his May 14 testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division, highlighted a case that completely undermines the notion that the DOJ's decisions in the Black Panthers case were unprecedented or racially motivated. Perez testified that in 2006, the DOJ "declined to bring any action for alleged voter intimidation" "when three well-known anti-immigrant advocates affiliated with the Minutemen, one of whom was carrying a gun, allegedly intimidated Latino voters at a polling place by approaching several persons, filming them, and advocating and printing voting materials in Spanish." [U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, 5/14/10]
Anti-immigrant activist in 2006 case reportedly had "9mm Glock strapped to his side" at polling place. A November 8, 2006, Austin American-Statesman article reported (from the Nexis database): "In Arizona, Roy Warden, an anti-immigration activist with the Minutemen, and a handful of supporters staked out a Tucson precinct and questioned Hispanic voters at the polls to determine whether they spoke English." The article continued:
Armed with a 9mm Glock automatic strapped to his side, Warden said he planned to photograph Hispanic voters entering polls in an effort to identify illegal immigrants and felons.
Arizona Daily Star: "[A]nti-immigrant activist" "stood by with a firearm in a holster." A November 8, 2006, Arizona Daily Star article reported (from Nexis):
A crew of anti-immigrant activists, meanwhile, visited several South Side polling places in what one poll-watch group called a blatant attempt to intimidate Hispanic voters.
Anti-immigrant crusader Russ Dove circulated an English-only petition, while a cameraman filmed the voters he approached and Roy Warden stood by with a firearm in a holster.
Diego Bernal, a staff attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), said the trio was trying to intimidate Hispanic voters. "A gun, a camera, a clipboard before you even get to the polls - if that's not voter intimidation, what is?" he asked.
Bernal said his group encountered the men at the Precinct 49 polling place at South 12th Avenue and West Michigan Street and began documenting the scene with their cameras. "There was an interesting period where they were taking pictures of us taking pictures of them."
Tucson Citizen: Incident "reported to the FBI." A November 8, 2006, Tucson Citizen article (from Nexis) reported that Mexican American Legal Defense Fund lawyer Diego Bernal "said he reported the incident to the FBI." The article also reported that Pima County elections director Brad Nelson said: "If intimidation or coercion was going on out there, even though it might have been outside the 75-foot limit, it's something we take very seriously, and we'll be looking into it."
We've rounded out the video with a selection of rantings from Minutemen, Joe Arpaio fans, and the pack of Arizona neo-Nazis led by J.T. Ready. All of these people, it should be understood, have longstanding associations with Russell Pearce and Joe Arpaio -- two of Fox's favorite spokesmen for the nativist, pro-SB1070 contingent.
Interesting double standard there, isn't it?

Isn't Steele As Head Of The Republican Party Proof They Politicize War
Bill Kristol, appearing on Fox News Sunday today, reiterated his call for Michael Steele to resign as Chairman of the RNC after his recent comments in which called the war in Afghanistan, "a war of Obama's choosing... not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." With a straight face Kristol told substitute host Major Garrett, "I think one thing as a Republican and I think Republicans can be proud of is that we don't politicize foreign wars and we support the President if we think he's right and we don't try to make political hay of difficulties that are being encountered overseas." I have to think that it was only the fear of losing their Fox News paycheck that kept the rest of the panel from falling into peals of laughter.

This is appalling. This video of a supposedly secular high school biology classroom will show you what we're up against.
These students are simply expressing uninformed incredulity — they can't imagine how anything could have evolved. And the incompetent apologist of a teacher, who is sympathetic to creationism himself, isn't doing his job, which is to explain to them exactly how biology explains these phenomena. Instead, he makes excuses: "How could I say to a student, 'your ideas are trash'?"
It's not hard. One student at the end says this:
Hey, student! Your ideas are trash!
So's your teacher if he can't address these trivial questions. You must be able to tell your students when they are wrong if you're going to teach at all.

Now This: Naked Pictures Of ‘Sexy Russian Spy’ Anna Chapman
‘Sexy Russian Spy’ Anna Chapman was apparently really good at pretending to be American…she sought out her 15 minutes in a New York Entrepreneur Week and now apparently there are naked pictures making the rounds courtesy of Chapman’s ex-husband. Really, what could be more American than that.
This from the ever-reliable http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/865615/Mile-high-sex-games-with-my-spy-in-the-sky-Anna-Chapman.html
[ Brit ex-husband Alex Chapman] tells how James Bond-loving temptress Anna had a 007-style mile high romp on a plane from London to the Russian capital as their passion reached its height.
And how the 28-year-old femme fatale loved to wear nipple clamps and wield a WHIP like an interrogator as they were Ivan it off.
“I found her Russian accent such a turn-on,” says Alex, 30, who had no idea she was honing her sexy spying skills on him. “She was the most beautiful person I had ever met, with an extraordinary body, and I was infatuated with her.
And this from the slightly (just) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291828/MI5-probe-links-Russian-spy-Anna-Chapman-mysterious-Zimbabwean-businessman.html Daily Mail: Apparently Chapman (the husband) was questioned by MI5 last week about his wife’s relationship “with multi-millionaire Ken Sharpe for three years at a British registered company based in the London flat she shared with her then husband, Alex.”
During her time with the company, Southern Union, 28-year-old Ms Chapman moved millions of pounds between Zimbabwe and the UK, raising questions over whether the cash may have been laundered for the purposes of espionage.
More on that part of the story http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291828/MI5-probe-links-Russian-spy-Anna-Chapman-mysterious-Zimbabwean-businessman.html.

the Gil Moppo Story – as told by one the true Kings of television:
As iconic news host Larry King prepares to make his exit later this year, much has been and will continue to be written about how King’s time as king of cable news is long gone.
People will talk about his softball interviews, laugh at his out-of-touch moments, point to his massive ratings declines. But while this goes on over the next few months, quite possibly here at Mediaite as well, remember what makes Larry King great too. Here’s my favorite Larry King moment ever.
King has made for great late night TV comedy fodder – a running gag on Conan O’Brien’s former Late Night show was simply how old King is. Jimmy Kimmel on ABC has never held back in poking fun at the CNN host either, but the deference is clear as well. Kimmel has filled in for King as guest host in the past.
It was last July when King was a guest on Kimmel’s late night ABC show – ironically, my favorite moment wasn’t King as legendary interviewer, but as interviewee. Kimmel gave King seven mostly-uninterrupted minutes (besides the bursts of laughter) to tell one of the funniest stories I’ve ever heard. It gave King a chance to talk about his childhood growing up in New York, and included general comments like, “If you’re a D student in New York, you’re mayor of Des Moines.”
But it was about one particular event in his life, one event described so expertly down to every last captivating detail it might even make the ‘does King still have it?’ skeptics think twicDeathbed Conversion of Jesus
Deathbed Conversion of Jesus
Posted on February 16th, 2010 by Staks
If you ask fundamentalist Christians, they will tell you that many well known atheists in history have had deathbed conversions to Christianity. Among the names that I have heard from Christians include Voltaire, Sartre, Mark Twain, Thomas Paine, and of course Charles Darwin. Of course, these well known freethinkers never really had a deathbed conversion.
It isn’t hard to look into each of these individual cases and see that none of these atheists converted to Christianity at the time of their deaths. What I find interesting though is that according to the Bible, someone else had a deathbed change of heart.
“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” - Matthew 15:34
Christians generally translate this to mean, “My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me.” But that is not entirely accurate. Eloi is translated as “My God” but it is not a generic form of god as most Christians seem to think. It is a particular god and not the God Yahweh.
Eloi refers to the God `Elyōn who like Yam (Yahweh) is a Canaanite deity. In the Canaanite pantheon of gods, `Elyōn was the “Most High” father deity. He was the Zeus of that mythology. Yahweh was one of `Elyōn’s sons. The Bible also mentions Yahweh’s brother god Ba’al Zebul (the fertility deity).
So when Jesus was being crucified, he was not calling out to himself because that would be just a little silly. Instead, he was calling out to a Canaanite deity. http://is.gd/dgfEP

5 Of The Most Racist Things Said By Politicians
Forget Harry Reid and Trent Lott, their comments have fallen in with countless others that have been deemed “racist” by an all-too-eager bunch of reporters and bloggers. The media’s coverage of Reid’s “racist comments” is exactly the reason no one takes the growing problems with race relations in this country seriously. If everything is racist, nothing is racist.
“I think one man is just as good as another so long as he’s not a n**er or a Chinaman” –
President Harry Truman
Truman said this long before he was president in a private letter to his future wife. Ah, what a different time it was. This one shouldn’t even count because there was no such thing as racism back them but this is one of those things that never gets mentioned because it was in a private letter. That’s where the real racism happens folks.
Still, at the time that Truman was relevant, his aides advised him to join the Ku Klux Klan to gain support.
“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a Black and a White …. Or a rape.” -President Richard Nixon
One of my favorite quotes from ol’ Dick Nixon who was another President who got away with what he said because of the era in which he lived. This is a guy who used to give derogatory nicknames (far worse than “Turd Blossom”) to his Jewish aides. Still, different era or not, the Richard Nixon tapes are loaded with stuff like this. Awesome listening.
“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” -Betty Brown, Texas State Legislator
Something that many people have said over the dinner table, I’m sure. What makes Brown’s case different is that she said this in defense of a bill that she had introduced in the legislature…which would require Asian-Americans to change their names to something more…American.
“This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park…” -Bob Allen, former Florida State Legislator
This wasn’t Bob depicting a lovely day at the park, this was him explaining what his surroundings were before he agreed to perform oral sex on an undercover cop in a bathroom. Allen’s court defense was that he didn’t want to blow the guy, he was just intimidated by him and went along. The court found this as believable as Larry Craig’s “wide stance” defense.
“We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.” – Rush Limbaugh
No, Rush isn’t a politician but being the face of the modern Republican Party certainly counts for something (and makes him a hell of a lot more important than Betty Brown or Bob Allen). This comment should be added to an anthology of other comments that Rush has made that still pale in comparison with things that less notable talk show hosts like Michael Savage and Mark Levin have said on the air.
The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation. -West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd
Although he just croaked Byrd does not get the benefit of the doubt on this one, whether it was the 40s or not. In Byrd’s younger days, he joined the Ku Klux Klan. After growing weary and moving on to more notable positions than being a recruiter for the local KKK chapter, Byrd wrote the above letter to a KKK Imperial Wizard in 1946. Byrd has since gone on to become the longest serving United States Senator and has been nicknamed the “conscience of the Senate.”
