Howard Dean says, “Don’t call a sitting president a Fascist.” Keith Olbermann says, “Uhhh, not so fast.”

It’s not easy to make Keith Olbermann look more absurd than he makes himself look. But Howard Dean managed to do it without even trying. As an added bonus, he also made himself look absurd. Bingo! Two for the price of one.

Dean appeared on Olbermann’s MSNBC show the other night and was horrified – horrified, we tell you – that some people have called President Obama a Fascist. Olbermann nodded gravely and agreed in his most serious, most reporterish tones.

Thanks to some great research and brilliant editing by Olbywatch, this video intercuts those comments with numereous clips from earlier times of Olbermann calling President Bush a – you guessed it – Fascist.

Let’s go to the videotape.

Fascism – a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

I’d say Obama is more fascist than Bush ever dreamed of being.

So I presume, that next you’ll intercut all the times O’Reilly and Hannity spouted equal vitriolic nonsense. They said we shouldn’t criticize a President during war time etc blah blah blah. If you’re going to highlight hypocrisy don’t spare anyone.

Well, Bu$h and Barry both work for the fascistic Globalist Banksters, who just happen to be publicly announcing their fascist global currency and their fascist global government to go with it at the G20, so Bu$h and his pal Barry are equally fascist!

Don’t disbarage facists like that. I think anti-christ is the defining term (Obama so likes defining terms, moments, acts a little like adam naming the beasts so he could have dominion over them…but I digress) … he’s all over the mark of the beast.

PS -
Abbie sure Hannity and O’Reilly called pinheads pinheads. The point, I think, is that Oberman and Reed need to grow up and realize that politics is a contact sport.

I don’t particularly enjoy this yelling/screeming/name calling/interuppting type of commentary from either side — its overdone, anoying and you can’t tell what anyone is saying. switch to american idol (come to think of it, isn’t that the DNC’s official title for Obama?)
