Here is the REAL reason for the Olbermann Cover Maneuver

This is the real reason for the supposed "indefinite" suspension of Keith Olbermann for his campaign contributions. Many have been wondering what was up with this blatant pivot maneuver. We were wondering what was the purpose. Was it to attempt to provide cover for the blatant left leaning of the network? Come on, you could not cover that with an Australian Country sized blanket. So WHY do you think it was done?

Here is the reason I think it was done. It was too early to take off the mask of what the true meaning behind the progressive movement is-

There you have it.

See, this is the whole reason for the pivot maneuver. They do not want people to know exactly HOW FAR they lean left. This is what the left hand did, while you were looking at the right hand cover story.

Don't you just love it when there is more than one source for information.

Like Goebbells said, "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."

Lawrence O’Donnell is a giant piece of crap.

He can sit here and whine about being a socialist, and wishing to take everyones guns away (in blatant violation of the Constitution), yet he hasnt moved to a country where his whacked out views on freedom would be more appreciated.

All talk, no walk. Typical of fecal matter like him.

Yep, they are beginning to pull the masks off. They see they are being exposed for what they are. Now they will begin to defend the Marxist and Socialist ideology.

Notice how all Socialist believe they have to rid us of our guns first. Cannot have those slave able to fight off a tyrannical regime. Cannot have them fight when they begin the starvation campaign.

Thanks for the comment.

i noticed on the second video that the ticker stated aretha franklin has cancelled her upcoming shows. i wonder why? don't you find it strange that aretha franklin would cancel her concerts at the same time the president is out of the country? it might have to do with the fact that they are both black and important icons to US society, one in in politics, the other in art. if you have two iconic black people refusing to live up to expectations, then everyone will believe that this is the curse of african americans, that they can't ever meet the demand, and that we should not live with accursed people. another ploy by the right to divide america...

back in the day when i use to watch msnbc and all of the major news outlets back when i was trying to learn everything i could about afghanistan and iraq i saw the "progressive agenda" unfold before my eyes.

i can honestly say while those stations were clearly left they weren't as bad as they are now and o'donnel is tied right up there with olbermann two peas in a pod in a feild of sour vegetables if you ask me.

ban all guns he says then the only people who have guns are the police and criminals which is stupid if you ask me every person in this country would be getting free entitlements man o'donnel is a moron to be blunt and every single person on msnbc are morons.

least they finally and came out of the closet and outed themselves but everyone already knew what they were so now they are just stating the obvious.


i agree with bigtimecheater but i would have been a little more profain

WOW, you REALLY worked hard to bring that race card out in a thread that had nothing to do with race.

A for attempt.

F for FAILURE.

Why don't you MoveOn?

Cool troll is cool.

I got a thrill up my leg while watching this

That isn't proof of anything to me.

George Soros and his ilk would probably LOVE to take the country in a socialist direction, but most democrats that I know of are simply more in favor of a mixed economy.

The guns issue, IMO, is a lot more city vrs country than liberal vrs democrat.
Lots of liberals in Georgia want to keep guns legal, move closer to Atlanta and you'll find that changes. Everyone that I know that are really, really anti-gun all live in the big, big cities.

No, it is not proof, it is a PERFECT scenario though.

They had to cover this thing up. Cannot have people talking about this, so fabricate a nice two day "indefinite" suspension. Shortest indefinite time period in the history of the universe I would say.

You think people don't know that MSNBC is left-leaning? Sounds like a stretch to me, SF. Viewers of MSNBC would LOVE that segment. And conservatives who saw it would just think it's business as usual. Nothing to hide here.

When I first heard about the Olbermann thing, I too, thought it was a publicity stunt or some "plan" to cover something up, but I have changed my mind because of a couple things that happened after Olbermann's suspension. I talk about them here.

It's a nice theory, but I don't think they're trying to cover up the fact that MSNBC has a socialist commentator. Most conservatives think ALL of MSNBC is socialist.

Dude, this isn't about MARXISM or SOCIALISM!

It's about how people like YOU are buying too much into a bunch of # that YOU know is FALSE!

There is no ideal system here! Conservatism, socialism, marxism, they're ALL THE SAME!

Yeah because American freedom has been guaranteed apparently via the Patriot Act.

Do you enjoy having your liberty taken from you to protect your freedom ?

Evidently you didnt quite understand the idea behind my post.

The douche in question, said he would ban all guns if given the choice. Obviously he has never read the Constitution, so I emailed him a copy

All the same huh?

So why do you even bother commenting on the political discussion forums? Hmmm?

Yep, might just as well let the government do whatever they want because it is all the same thing. Not.

Do you have a problem with a socialist in the media?

Why would you have a problem with me?

If that was the case then Olbermann would still be suspended instead of reinstated within a couple days, IMO.

It is what it is, he violated company policy with the donations and got his peepee slapped.

End of story.

No, I do not have a problem with socialists. Not one bit, IF they tell me who they are.

See, the problem that both O' Donnell and I have with socialists, is that the ones that attempt to hide who or what they really think. THAT is what I have problem with.

If there is nothing to hide, why hide it? Own up to what you believe and let us have the discussion out in the open.

What I have a problem with is the FACT that those who hide their beliefs are chamelions, they will do anything to hide their true nature.

I may be an # but at least I do not HIDE what I am. That is what O' Donnell has stated, I find him exhilarating. Someone with enough HONOR to actually state his opinion instead of hiding in the shadows!

There are socialists at MSNBC. Notice that is a statement not a question, and one that should have been known by the American people for a long time. Then again the view of what a socialist is has been so distorted in the US that I can't say that I am surprised people find this a news story.

For the interest of full disclosure, I will again stat that I, a British journalist, am also a socialist. I've never made any attempt to mislead anyone on that fact, and I wear my title with pride.

Perhaps it is not as you say that socialists lie and hide their nature, every single one that I know personally does not, but that the American definition of socialist is bizarre and therefore you can apply it to people whom are in fact capitalists. President Obama for example is quite a capitalist, not a socialist at all.

Yep, a crony capitalist. He thinks that the government should choose who is to be the companies.

In some places they call that something else. I think it is called fascism in some parts.

Lawrence O’Donnell doesnt believe in the founding principals of our country that we are a capitalist state.

for one he supports the minimum wage which is a way that lowlives try to steal from hard working families.

Second he will not admit that we have the freedom to be Christians and he will not admit to having accepted jesus into his heart.

Third he spreads false truths about Sara Palin and other freedom fighters like Glenn Beck. Its high time these hacks are driven off the airwaves if they dont like america then they should leave.

No wonder he gave up on freedom since he wont discuss on air the christian faith. our founding fathers were christians and President Bush is a born again christian who only sought to become president AFTER becoming a christian because he realized what freedom is. Speaking as a Christian I have a right to practice my religion and if he wants to persecute anyone who is a patriot then he shouldnt be on the air promoting his Nazi agenda of socialism and the removal of religion and the one true god from schools.
