      Holy crap. What a great example of a hypocrite at work.
      The capper to Loony Lou's rambling was introducing Mad Dog Malkin as a "delightful, delightful journalist."

        Yes, Mr. Dobbs, everybody else is crazy. Now take your "vitamin", we'll get a fresh pair of Oopsie pants on you, and you'll be off to Happyland in no time.

        There's a lot of funny in this clip.First, the reason Dobbs refers to Olbermann as "off his meds" is because he named many of the Dems who have received money from the Health Care Industry as well as the Republicans. (Dobbs later describes KO as "blinded by his partisanship").

        The caller also notes the omission of Obama from the list of recipients. I saw the segment, and KO gave numbers for Obama's contributions from the industry.

        Can anybody make sense of the clip within the clip, Dobb's remark about it being "absurd" that they wouldn't know about a birth certificate floating around the internet? Maybe I missed something, but I'm not sure what his point was. He seems to be responding to Olbermann's statement that Dobb's probably thinks the Kenyan phony doc is legit, but Dobbs doesn't really take a stand as to the legitimacy, only that it's absurd that he wouldn't know about it.

        Countdown is one of a few hours a week of liberal programming going against hundreds of hours of Fox, am radio, and most of the mainstream conservative media defending the GOP. In those few hours, KO manages to do some actual "Fair & Balanced" journalism by reporting the agendas of (R)s and (D)s, and to a blind partisan like Dobbs, that's a sign of insanity. Hilarious.

      MM, I like the other pic of Dobbs better. It's more in line with him being a nutcase. Please consider using it again. :)

      Slightly OT, but watching the tea baggers disrupt town hall meetings? Nice to see they don't want to discuss, they just want to disrupt. Just like the memo I posted told them to do!

        At least the town hall meetings are getting some of the internet trolls out of the house and away from their keyboards.Maybe the fresh air will do them some good.

          Maybe we can get a reich wing "Don't taze me, bro!" moment? One can only hope...

          In the meantime...

          Last night, Rep. Gene Green (D-TX) hosted a rowdy town hall meeting to discuss health care reform. Fox’s local Houston affiliate reporter, Duarte Geraldino, reported that he talked to the participants and found that “some attendees admit they don’t live in the district.” How did they get there? Geraldino noted “an internet campaign” by far right activists urging their allies to attend and heckle Democratic Representatives.

            Snoop, I'd only heard audio and seen limited video of the wingnut pawns having their meltdowns at the town halls, until this evening. I don't remember when I've seen a more angry and misinformed bunch of humans outside of a Fox news panel of experts.

            It's especially sad that these chumps are being used to prevent health care reform, as most seem to be people who could most use a decent plan. The elderly, obese, and mentally ill appear to make up the bulk of the town hall screechers, with most falling into all three categories.

              And Colonel, I hope they don't expect me to shed any tears for them when they die penniless and owing their whole net worth many times over to the very same health insurers they're rushing to defend. The way I see it, it would be exactly what every one of them deserve...

                And I really hope our serial drive by thumbs downer is one of them. That person shows a level of hatred that defies logic...

                  The masked thumber is the internet equivalent of the town hall screechers. NO interest in debate or thinking, just a reflexive "Me not like!"

                  And FTLOE, I know you're being a little facetious, that you probably don't wish a destitute painful death on those people. They're probably, for the most part , not evil, just horribly misinformed, a product of the conservative media and the ignorance they were taught.

                  I'd rather wish for their education, that they would be exposed to the facts, do a little work and try to figure out how they're being used against their own interests.

                  If, after that, they still insisted on working as volunteer shills for the health care industry, I'm with you. They can die young & broke . :0)
