Does Keith Olbermann ever have people on that disagree with him?

Periodically I flip to his show during commercials of whatever else I'm watching to see him foaming at the mouth and launching his usual tirade of personal insults at conservatives.

Yesterday I started thinking about it, I dont think I can recall once when he had a conservative guest on his show to debate an issue with. All of his guests seem to be from the Huffington post, New York Times, Washington Post, or some other liberal forum, that just nod their head and suck his dick.

Maybe thats why O'Reilly crushes him in ratings? At least Bill brings on liberals all the time, it makes for great heated debates on stuff.

I don't know, maybe you can find one of the handful of people that watch him all the time. Sheep tend to flock over to Faux Noise.

I occasionally watch Maddow's pod cast of her show and I see Conservatives on quite often. I've seen Ron Paul on her show a few times and it's usually a very interesting interview.

Don't really watch Olbermann enough to know, but my sense is that he doesn't.

Whenever I've flipped over to Maddow's show for laughs, if she does have a conservative on, it seems never to ask him for his opinion to add to the show, it's always Maddow seeing if she convince the conservative his life is a total sham

Her next big segment coming up I don't know what day, she will be attempting to inject into people a relationship between the TEA Party rallies and Timothy McVeigh. I still can't quite grasp her obsession of proving there is a Christian Mafia organization controlling all of congress, when her greatest proof so far seems to be that when she leaves messages for congressmen, none ever bother to get back in touch with her. But that's neither here nor there. Point is, while Maddow does have conservatives on the show, she is still never interested in allowing anyone else's opinion out other than her own. Same can be said about other prime time cable news commentators, but she takes the cake in that department.

Only a terrorist would disagree with Keith.

Ha, you refer to Maddow as "it". It rubs the lotion on its skin.

I don't watch enough to have a solid opinion on her show, but from the interviews I've watched I don't think your characterization is very accurate. I've seen Ron Paul on quite a few times, and he usually ends up getting more air time than on any other show he appears on. I've seen Meghan McCain on a few times, but maybe she doesn't count as a Conservative anymore.

She isn't unbiased by any means, but compared to the other big three, I feel she is the most fair.

At any rate, like I said, I don't watch that often. As for Tim McVeigh, I grew up about 5 miles from where he lived. I think Maddow's segment (and I only have info from the Daily Show I watched a few nights ago on it) is about the dangers of incendiary rhetoric leading to violence. In which case, you can draw a parallel between the vitriol of some of the organizations McVeigh though to be part of and some of the behavior of tea party protesters. It isn't the same, but I've witnessed some pretty offensive stuff over the past year. That said, I don't really believe you can blame anyone other than the individual who crosses the line.

Olbermann is a tool. I can't stand him even when he isn't talking about politics and is trying to talk football on Sunday Night Football.

Maddow actually does let her conservative guests talk as much as they want without interuption. She is pretty cordial to everyone she has on. Olbermann I don't know. On the rare occasions I've watched him, he comes across as a jackass.

The one on MSN who interrupts *everyone* is Chris Mathews. It isn't because of his bias; it's that he can never STFU and talks over everyone.

Did I parrot a phrase that Beck often does? If I did let me know so I can stop. Just letting you know, "Faux Noise" is a little quip K.O. cant go 45 seconds without blurting out. You may want to reign that one in.

See I didn't know that because I almost never watch him or MSNBC. It seems he's good for something because that is an apt description of Fox News

Yes, some of his guests feel conservatives should be water boarded to death rather than burned alive.

... where was she when there were "liberals" protesting and marching the streets with Bush dolls being hung, saying people need to be killed, etc etc etc. Look fact is this shit she's talking about others were talking about "liberals" etc when Bush was in office. Same shit different day. They act like it's new and scary etc etc, but these are the same people who absolutely IGNORED the violent "tendencies" of the "liberals" protesting Bush.

Liberals was used in quotes because not everyone protesting Bush was a liberal, but they were portrayed as such.

I'm glad you stopped in this thread to start the insults, its quite fun.

Allow me continue,

You are a worthless sack of shit. I hope you get ran over by a bus, the world would be better off.

Now go back to your cabin in the woods and think about how Republicans are out to get you, you crazy fuck.

Unlike Fox News, Olbermann doesn't pretend to be "fair and balanced."
