Keith Olbermann's Tantrum

Unable to defend the anti-American views of Van Jones, directly, Keith Olbermann of MSNBC has decided to go after the messengers of the Van Jones story, Glenn Beck and Fox News. In a typical and childish left-wing "I'll get you" rage, Olbermann has used his blog and asked all his minions to come up with dirt on Glenn Beck, Beck's radio producer, Burguiere, and the chief of Fox News, Roger Ailes (Click to See Full Story: "Olbermann Wants Dirt on Glenn Beck, Roger Ailes").

What is absolutely idiotic about this is that Glenn Beck has been pretty up front about his not-so illustrious past. So, Olbermann might be digging around in the trash can when, in fact, the trash has always been in clear view of everyone else. Of course, he probably doesn't know this because I am quite sure he has never watched or listened to the Beck shows on either radio or TV. If he had, he just might see how someone is able to build an accurate case against a person like Van Jones.

The far left-wingers are really upset with the Beck-led bring down of Van Jones. It almost reminds me of all the socialist/facists who promised to "get even" after Mussolini was executed in Italy. They seem to think that Van Jones was brought down with false accusations. If that were true, why, then, did Jones issue two "separate" public apologies in just the few days before he was forced to resign? Not just one. But two!

Olbermann is part of that news media that has seriously shirked their responsibility in keeping our government honest about all these Czars that Obama has brought on. Van Jones may not have been properly vetted by Obama or the Congress; as he should have been. But, in lieu of that, he should have been vetted by our national media; and, wasn't. Glenn Beck stepped in to do what others in our media didn't do. That doesn't make him a partisan; it makes him a citizen who is responsible to his country and not falling-all-over-in-love with the current President and his questionable policies and activities. Something that can't be said of either Olbermann or MSNBC.
