Olbermann awarded Savage "silver" in "Worst Person" for blaming Columbine shooting on transgender surgery
On the March 27 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann awarded nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage "the silver" in his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for "attributing the school shootings at Columbine in 1999 to transgender surgery. Quoting him, 'The capital of it is somewhere in Colorado, of course, near Columbine. You wonder why the kids shoot each other there with black raincoats.' " Media Matters for America noted Savage's comments in a March 26 item.
From the March 27 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
OLBERMANN: The silver -- speaking of 3-year-olds -- Michael Weiner Savage, now attributing the school shootings at Columbine in 1999 to transgender surgery. Quoting him, "The capital of it is somewhere in Colorado, of course, near Columbine. You wonder why the kids shoot each other there with black raincoats." We'll skip the last imagery about shooting with raincoats for a moment.
That so-called capital of sex-change surgery? It's Trinidad, Colorado, 194 miles from Columbine High School in Littleton. You know how meaningless the geography is in this case, exactly? You know what's 154 miles from Columbine, 40 miles closer than the capital of sex-change surgery? The University of Wyoming, Dick Cheney's alma mater.

Wait for it....

waiting for some oxygen to get to wieners brain? way to late for that to make much difference now...
WHERE'S THE MISINFORMATION?????????
MMFA's mission statement clearly says blah blah blah blah
You guys just like to blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah Olbermann
Was that what you were waiting for, Mr. L?
yes.... I'm having a sloooooooow day... was waiting for Tommy to do his usual schtick..
Where's the misinformation? So Olbermann awarded Savage with the Silver. Although I don't care much for Savage, I think he has every right to his opinions. If he stirs people up, causing them to commit terrible acts, that is their peoblem--not Savages. He has every right under the first amendment to spew whatever vile disgusting thing he wants to say. If you don't like it, just turn him off.
That was my Tommy impression ;-)
Sorry- Tommy's very busy hijacking the Imus thread.
Sorry- Tommy's very busy hijacking the Imus thread.
No doubt defending racist statements again.
Maybe he was waiting for you to do yours first. And you did, so well....................
Did he mention Savage's Talkers Magazine award?
Talker's Magazine? Is there also a Watcher's Radio Show?
When has a liberal ever won the Worst Person Award?
Media Matters should also mention another award that Savage received: Talkers Magazine Free Speech Award.
Didnt he get a lifetime achievement award from insanity today?
Don't rub it in! This is one of liberals most prestigous awards and they went and gave it to Savage. They will have to...gasp...be quiet for a while. Imagine giving Savage an award for FREE SPEACH! And, to think they constantly complain about him excersizing that right.
This is one of liberals most prestigous awards...
Then why haven't I ever heard of it?
Olbermann was very nice last night
In discussing the health of Tony Snow whos cancer has spread to his liver. Olbermann called him a gentleman, wished him well , spent 3 minutes at the begining discussing Snow and his health. Even revealed that Tony Snow watches the show and they are email friends. Well done Keith!!
Liberals have class. We care about people.
I recall many from the God party saying that AIDS was the reward for Gays being Gay. I wonder if this had been a popular Democrat if the right would have. . .oh wait. . . I seem to recall Michael J. Fox, and Elizabeth Edwards being torn up by right wing talkers.
When someone reveals who they really are--Believe them!
Here's a joke for the conservatives TheRick:
If AIDS is God's punishment for sinful sexuality, than Lesbians must be his chosen people.
(to a conservative you usually have to explain afterwards that Lesbians are the least likely group to get AIDS. Less than 1% of cases (usually those that do involve drugs), less than gay men, straight couples or even children.)
(to a conservative you usually have to explain afterwards that Lesbians are the least likely group to get AIDS. Less than 1% of cases (usually those that do involve drugs), less than gay men, straight couples or even children.)
That is a no brainer. Lesbians hane nothing NATURALLY to poke eachother with, other than needles.
Were you born ignorant, or did you have to work hard to achieve the level you display here so often?
Uuumm... yeah... OR they could be poking the other on the arm and saying 'Watch out for that meddlinginmyamerica prick... he thinks we are freaks and doesn't mind when bigoted jerks use their intolerance of others to justify KILLING other humans...'
See my post on the day's first thread. The MMfA stated purpose does not say it's to solely expose misinformation. So all the folks who want to whine about that instead of talking about the issues raised are invalidated.
So there! Oh no,
Does that mean Tommy will never post again? (Just kidding Tommy)
Is Mr. L waiting for the Weiner people to show up?
How does this make him the worst person? Why not the Iranians kidnapping British soldiers in Iraqi territorial waters?
Uh, I don't think he means it literally. If he did it probably wouldn't change every day.
Yes, but seeing Bush/Cheney/Rove every day would get boring.
What about Bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, Jong Il, and Chavez, Savage mentioned on his show yesterday? They're certainly the worst people in the world, not Dr. Savage.
as Savage mentioned on his show yesterday
Why not Bush/Cheney for killing unarmed Iraqs?
Let the Brits handle this one on their own...they weren't Americans..therefore, none of our business...
Back to Savage....If a vermin has a sex change operations does that person become a vermina? A Germina? A Fermina? Help..
A Her-min?
Thank You...I can breathe now...
Only if the vermin were a man to begin with
Weiner's a misogynist so to him, a vermin who has a sex-change operation becomes a man.
Savage is not a misogynist. In fact, Savage has blasted the Islamofascists for oppressing women.
Also, to refute what others have said about Savage supposedly favoring Muslim nations to America, he emphatically stated on his show that he'd rather live in America with our abortions, sex change operations, gay rights, etc. than be ruled by the throat cutting Islamofascist scum.
since "vermin" is plural, the correct term for male vermin which were gender reassigned would be "verwomin".
Unarmed people die in war all the time. I don't think that it makes Bush the worst person in the world. I don't think that Bush is evil. He's just dumb and incompetent.
Yes innocent people do die in wars. A very good reason NOT to lie and distort the facts to START ONE. Bush should be sent to the Hague. If the Nuremberg laws were applied he would be hung.
I have posted in the past that I have had issues with this segment of Countdown., However we do not know all the facts in the case involving Iran. Also im my opinion Michael Savage is a horrible human being and is one of the "Worst People in the World".
You think those Iranians are the worst, insaneloki? How about the pedophile/ murderer that is most likely out there in the world somewhere?
Or the liberals who invented ADHD and continue to suppress the cure for cancer?
How about Al Gore for stiring up the media about all this global warming nonsence?
Or the Democrats for trying to force us to lose the war?
[For those of you who don't understand sarcasm--this was it]
All of the above, as well as the America-hating horses they rode in on.
What about the Democrats for all the things they haven't done yet, but we know they will !
Don't look now, but it's already happening. Our local Glenn Beck sound-alike had Tom Delay on hawking the book he didn't write. They actually had the nerve to criticize the Democrats for wasting time on Gonzogate when they should be dealing with important issues like Health Care, alternative energy policy, etc.
I agree they are waisting time. I am sick and tired of this, "Gotchya Politics".
Hahahahahahahahaha,
or as Jetter would say
LOLOLOL
Well you know Rusty thanks to Auto, I'm now investigating my dad since he is one of those ultra-rich Liberal scientists. I figure he must be hiding all that money he received after helping the drug companies hide the cure for cancer. (and to think I had to eat Ramon noodles all those years.)
Ramon noodles, ADMcCain? The even cheaper Mexican substitute for ramen noodles? Things were tough.
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.
That's okay HBL
All I can say I my defense is, at least I can spell better than my physics teacher. He's a great teacher, but could not spell radiation to save his life. (although that is completely off topic).
Ok, ummm....Weiner is an idiot and needs a blackberry to keep tract of every community he hates (although he could just write, "I only like heterosexual, white, christian males.")
Smart move McCain. I'm checking into all of these pinko-liberal pharmaceutical companies near me in New Jersey.
So far I've found that most are a cover for a Mao worshiping cult. And any day now they're going to destroy the US economy by giving their noxious potions away to undeserving senior citizens for free.
Who knew?
Case in pont there are more terrible people in this world than a pompous blowhard.
And Olbermann does plenty of great reporting on those people.
I think we can spare him 60 seconds or so to talk about the pompous blowhards.
Don't like it? Get your own TV show.
If Keith O. wants to give free advertising to Savage good for him. I have never heard Mike mention Keith, ever.
Keith is a white heterosexual male. Therefore Weinerdog cant figure out how to shoehorn him into his insane ravings. Perhaps when the throrazine kicks in...
Where's your proof that Olberman is even one of these things?
Besides the fact Weinerdog isnt attacking him I have actually seen photos of the man he looks white to me. If you have evidence to the contrary cough it up.
Yes there are Loki. I am sure Olbermann would agree with you. Its irony. Olbermann is skewering the overthetop rhetorical attack by media blowhards. To do so and to MAKE THAT POINT he called his award by a name which ironically is an overthetop rhetorical attack.
Know what's only about 50 miles from Columbine High? The Headquarters of FoKKKus on The Family and James Dobson's moronic homophobes.
:-)
Hey, don't be so hard (get it? channeling my inner thirteen year old) on Dobson. You do realize that he is really one of our Gay Mafia plants, right?
I mean no one who wasn't paid to do so, would so blatantly lie so many times and make their organization (Focus On Your Own Darn Family) look so bad. I mean really who can talk a man seriously, who screams about the sanctity of life and the unborn child. Then writes an article bashing Mary Cheny and Heather Poe's child, getting close too, but never saying outright that she should abort it. All while distorting real scientific research and providing amply evidence for these scientists to sue him.
Next thing you know he'll have a "health" drink that allows him to lift 6,000 lbs. every morning, or something like that.
That"health" drink would be some kind of Kool-Aid -- we'd hope.
I'm sure that Dobson is against aborting the child. He's just against how the child was conceived and how the child will be raised.
How is James Dobson a KKK member?
Meanwhile, Talkers Magazine has given Savage its Freedom of Speech Award for ... bashing George Bush?? This guy lies through his teeth at every opportunity, spews hatred and vitriol everywhere he goes, and keeps on getting more money and more fame. I just don't get it.
Bill.
Shouldn't you respect Dr. Savage for bashing Bush?
No. Someone that lies 10% of the time and tells the truth 90% of the time is still a liar. Weiner does not get extra credit for doing what he is supposed to that he gets to turn in so he can be exempt from criticism for his insanty, and hatemongering.
What are Savage's lies (on his radio show; I'm sure that everyone has lied at least once in his life)?
My dad says you will help me . i need to write a story on future prediant. Dad says it will be Mikeal Savage. I need to say who wil be in his cabanet. and what desk will he use. And what will his 100 day plan be ? thank you.
You're in grad school at Regent University, aren't you?
Or Bob Jones university adjuncts... or Oral Robert's tenured faculty.. or, uumm... well, I went to the University of Pittsburgh and SOME of them could spell...
I'm in Saint James in forth grade.
Got my BS at Harvard, Masters @Berekley, PH.D. @Oxford (Rhodes), and nobody at those places could spell...we were SPECIAL--we didn't have to spell.
Fourth grade?!? Aren't you a little too far advanced to be studying Savage Weiner?
This "paper" you're supposed to write - your best bet at a good start would be to get some that comes in a roll and has little pastel flowers on it. It would be described as "ultra-soft".
He's also 37 years old, and rides to Fourth Grade on the "little bus".
:-)
The day Savage becomes President, there will have been an insufficient number of voters available to stock a cabinet - so he will not have one. The odds are, in fact, that there will be no need for him to promulgate policies, since there will be no corporeal existence - thus, his term(s) will be served entirely in fantasy land.
Will you be the one to say,"the plane, boss, the plane?"
No, he cant, thats the only job Weinerdog is qualified for
Try the Google if you're serious about this.
IMO the day Savage becomes President is the day the USA dies a gasping, wheezing death.
It's already happening.
Well Bobby thats easy,
Vice President: Satan
Secretary or War/Economic policy: The reanimated corpse of Ronald Reagan
100 day plan:
1. Figure out why everyone left America
2. Pass a law that bans all women, under penalty of death
3. Create an department of Hate, they will round up everyone Weiner does not like, so they can go to "summer camp", you know the one, with the funny smelling showers and the large mounds of dirt that appear soon after a new train load of people arrive.
4. Re-write history so no one remembers his real last name is Weiner.
5. Give the Presidential medal of honor to the KKK and Neo Nazis
Desk, um that's a hard question, first I guess you need to ask "what's the evilest type of tree?"
We think Miss berg wants us to say who was oner of the deske before.
McCain, LMAO!!!
THX for the laugh, wow that was really good :)
Thanks. Although at first it was a tie, either Ronny or Walt Disney's reanimated corpse (of course I than realized that Walt is not dead, just locked in cold storage until all the Jews are dead (thanks Family Guy). So Ronny "Star Wars VI, Attack of the Evil Commie Robots" Reagan won.)
If you're a true "Barry Goldwater conservative," you should love Michael Savage. Savage plays audio of Goldwater all the time. Goldwater is one of his political heroes. I think that Goldwater would support Michael Savage for president if Savage were to run.
Thank you but my dad says I beter not use this answer or ile get in trubbel at scool. i will ask my mom.
I tried to help you, Bobby. I gave you the benefit of my years of learning and instinct. But you're too smart for that, huh? Yeah, brilliant, Bobby. Go ask your mom. Just go ahead and feminize yourself, like all those other wacked-out sex-changing vermin liberals. Don't ask your dad, no. That might give you some kind of manly answer that would help you grow up to be someone to HELP DEFEND THIS COUNTRY! YOU'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER SUCKING AT THE TEAT OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN HERE AND WORK HARD AND WHO ARE PROUD OF OUR MASCULINITY AND DON'T CATER TO THE VERMIN LIBERAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS THAT WANT TO CUT OUR HEADS OFF!!!! TURN HIM OFF, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE OF THIS KIDS LIBERAL PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION HOMOSEXUAL MAFIOSO WHINING!!! SHUT HIM OFF!!!!......
I had to laugh at Neon's impression of Savage.
Bobby, are you Savagerocks or Michaelsavageforpresident?
Either way, do you think posing as a fourth grader with ridiculously bad spelling will make people be nicer to you?
All right, who's the bonehead who didn't close his BOLD tags? Oh, it was me.
Sorry.
I'm not Bobby. Sorry.
Well Bobby, tell your dad that I am a Political Science Major and therefore am always correct.
Also tell him that the statistically speaking the day Weiner wins the presidency is the same day Canada invades the US and wins, my dog gives a lecture on thermodynamics at MIT, and Pat Robertson actually makes a correct prediction.
Savage is actually against neo-Nazis and the KKK.
That's good enough for me. Weiner for President!
Day One: Nuke Them all
Day Two: Cancelled, see day one
Your father is wrong. Micheal Weinerdog will only become president AFTER I win the Nobel prize for gumchewing with my ass
I've always wondered whether Michel Savage's real surname is pronounced "weener" or "whiner". I'm still not sure....
Viner.
Vell, that must be vy he's alvays vining.
Rusty, that vas very funny.
The best way to shut idiots like Savage up is to ridicule their views publicly, repeatedly and yes! savagely. Savage is the kind of person who needs to be taken apart for his stupidity and hatefulness on a daily basis. And besides, he looks like a fetus in need of a shave.
I don't see you posting a pic of yourself for all of us to judge.
