How Keith Olberman Became His Own Parody

Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Mon, 09/04/2017 - 3:41pm

Keith Olberman used to be one of my favorite commentators to watch back when MSNBC wasn't always plugging neoliberal bullshit...or perhaps a better way to put it might be, when I was less aware of their neoliberal corporate slant. If you've ever paid any attnetion to his World's Worst segments, what I'm about to bring up will make sense. If you don't remember or have never seen it, here's one below where he mocks 'Lonseome Rhodes' Beck:

Civil Rights Sellouts vs. White Idiots Councils and Why They're Exactly Where White Elites Want Them

Many others have said it here but what Karl Marx once remarked with regards to history bears repeating: History repeats twice. First as a tragedy, then as a farce. And let's just face facts: What we're seeing unfold right now is most definitely a farce in every respect. Nothing good will come of it because the important issues are being ignored. Again.

So, was looking at twitter, and noticing all the good, hearty DNC types distributing pictures of the Nazis and demanding that we bring them to justice. Good old fashioned mob justice carried out through everyone paying attention to the photos and checking their neighborhoods for the evil vicious ones who most assuredly might even be YOUR NEIGHBOR...

Aaaaand I realized if you swap out TV for Twitter... we've essentially created "The Running Man."

One of the things I've been told, time and time again, is that in politics, one must be Realistic.

After all, there are millions of people who all want different things, and getting them to agree on anything is absolutely crazy. Therefore, we have to understand that politics is the science of the possible, and refusal to accept what is in front of our faces is tantamount to childish screaming.

So, let's be Realistic.

An Indignant Rant About Milquetoast 'Centrist' Right-wing Enablers

It's about 8 months after the electoral college handed Dipshit Dumpsterfire Trump the presidency (With the help of Hillary Clinton and the DNC) and the Democratic Party is still whining. Yet for all that whining, they can't seem to shake the very tactics, non-policies and toxic identity politics that led to their loss to begin with.

America Is Not 'The Leader Of The Free World'

Finally can we bury that old chestnut?

Perhaps in the darkest days of World War II, when so much was lost, when hope stood all alone, when many Americans stood up ready to die, perhaps then, in that moment, it meant something real and tangible. Maybe in a few brief instances since was an ideal and a nation actually one and the same.

America first has always been the reality, every action calculated for our own benefit.

These people amongst so many others played with the truth over the years in the name of ratings. They helped create the monsters that rule us, they have helped divide America for their own hubris and greed. So many of these media fakes have made their fortunes by spreading falsehoods, they are no better than Alex Jones and his ilk; just a little less obvious.
