Just in case you missed this on TV -- or all over the Internet -- here's the video of "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann blasting his enemy of the week, Fox News conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck. The rant started with Olbermann saying:
The danger of today's version of the mythical homespun aw-shucks-TV-totalitarian-Lonesome-Rhodes Glenn Beck is summed up by remarks today in which he claims that a revolution has begun in this country — a 'stealing of America in the guise of an election' — and his repeated insistence that the President is a Marxist. The comfort of today's mythical homespun aw-shucks-TV-totalitarian-Lonesome-Rhodes Glenn Beck is that everyday he gives away the essential truth that he is an idiot."
And it just got better from there. Take a look:

Keith who? What a DS............
Heh, Olberman always thows a schoolgirl fit when he gets beat by someone. Beck consistantly gets more the twice Olbermans audience and Beck has only been on the air for 6 months.
Wow! What a smarmy git.
Is he always like this?
This is the script that Olbermann reads from each day on his TV show. He just fills in the blanks with whatever attack word or derogatory name that pops into his head as he reads along: Glenn Beck is a ________. Rush Limbaugh is a ________. Bill O'Reilly is a ________. Newt Gingrich is a ________. George Bush is a ________. Dick Cheney is a ________, etc. Amazingly, some people actually tune in to watch his very predictable nightly routine.
Wow! Did Olbermann dig up the dirt on Beck or what? Pointing out Beck's deliberate stunt and saying it was an accident and finding one slip of the tongue in an hour long show must have been tough. Not a single word on the actual content of Beck's show, mind you. This from a Cornell University educated man? What a waste!
I'm going with the rodeo clown.
Glenn Beck is a wack job and no he really does not have much content in his mindless program. I've watched it on numerous occasions and I have gotten so sick of Beck's predictability and stupid rants (no real journalism) as they truly represent Orwellian "Newspeak"at its finest.
I also belong to the same Church that Glenn Beck is a member of (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "Mormon") and I am part of a growing number of Mormons who are increasingly embarrassed and upset by Glenn Beck's outrageous and divisive rhetoric as his divisive language and hate speech is not exemplary of Latter-day Saint living and teaching. If I were his Bishop I would definitely counsel him that he is not helping the cause of Christ but actually doing just the opposite. I spoke with my mother about this last night and she said she is appalled at him and won't watch him because of his divisive rhetoric that is not at all exemplary of what Latter-day Saints should act like. She, like myself, left the Republican Party with about half of my family and many of my friends after W pretty much ruined most of the sanity that was left in it. Most of us are now Independents or Democrats. We're sick of the divisive rhetoric that holds our nation in gridlock and divides us.
Keith Orangemann only has about 23 viewers.
Keith Orangemann is a failed sportscaster with a degree from Cornell's College of Agriculture (Moo Moo U) that has a bee in his bonnet for Fox, because they fired him.
Wow, what a pathetically jealous cretin this Olberman is. And he thinks he's funny apparently. I have not seen such juvenile rhetoric about another person since elementary school. It is so transparent that this loser with no ratings is frustrated because he cannot be successful and funny like the guys who mock the news on Comedy Central and his banality cannot pass as the least bit insightful as a pundit. Nor can he pass as a journalist. Bitterness is so transparent. This loser needs to get a new gig. OurHussein .com
I didn't know Beck was Mormon...if that's what Mormons are like, please keep them ALL in Utah.
LOL....Olbermann is an absolute moron....what a joke.
Is it possible that just ONCE Olbermann could NOT mention that he went to college? Probably not... His time seedin' corn and learnin' 'bout TV seems to have been the most formative, important time of his life.
Either that, or he's just a cretin.
The fact that Beck has so many fans just confirms my belief that our educational system is failing. Only a total idiot would believe anything Beck says. Beck and his ilk are an embarrassment to educated Americans!
