Right wing hate speech


I know it's hard for the right wing to see the hate speech spewed by their commentators, due to the fact that when given in stead doses, it becomes normal. I hate to tell you folks this, but hate, & consistent ill will towards others is without virtue.

Here are a few examples. I can find much much more if you would like. Oh and make sure you view all the clips in their entirety before you through your insults, & don't worry they are all short.

Example 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL5tjGK-x-g

Example 2) http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2009/08/06/republica ns/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campai gn=Feed%253A+salon%252Fgreenwald+%2528Glenn+Greenwald%2529&utm_con tent=Google+Feedfetcher

This is an example as to why Republicans wanted to end Keith Olbermann. Every night he would do this segment called Worst Persons in the world. What Right wingers hated about it is the fact that he always used their own quotes which they could not rebut so they always just through insults at the man... Keep in mind what I said, these segments were always in Republicans own words, with direct quotes...

Now I am sure that the only knowledge you have about this show were edited segments to make Fox look like the victim but here is the real deal.

This is a segment you will never see on Faux use, about outsourcing which is why big business wanted Keith off the air...

On the next link, Play the vids lower on the screen, & tell me that is not childish, & as a result of this Hu Jintao is getting death threats because he wanted an apology. This man is the Chinese President, here on an official diplomatic visit!

This was a discussion about a story last year where a Harvard professor was arrested in his own home because a neighbor called the police on him because they thought he was robbing the place. Despite the fact that he showed the officer his university credentials and license from his front door, the cop arrested him anyway in his own home. The Professor was Black. Here is Ann Coulters take.

This show cases Ann Coulters hatred of Jews, & demeans other religions.

Ann Coulter slamming 9/11 victims and slamming the widows for political gain. This last one was delivered by Keith Olbermann with Ann Coulter speaking her wing nut mind..

i didn't get a chance to watch all of the videos you provided but I will...however, there is hate on both sides....you say in your post that Keith Olbermann uses their own words...Glenn Beck does too....as i said, there is hate on all sides and not just on the right...how about the recent hate speech against Clarence Thomas at a left wing protest?

reply

Clarence Thomas is a sexual predator...There should be protests.

And while you sight Olbermann...He's no longer on a major network. Mainly because of Beck and Faux News. So much for the right being for freedom of speech or markets. Everything is good until you disagree with the Dark Lord Murdock.

reply

the protests were about something else but i saw on a video some left wing protesters making some disgusting racist comments about him....

I never heard that Clarence Thomas was a sexual predator. Post some links about this.

The only reason I referred to Olbermann is because the original poster brought him up...i've only watched a few minutes of him and i never liked him but i never called for him to be fired or anything like that. I support free speech and just simply don't watch.

What does Fox News have to do with Olbermann's firing? His ratings were horrible!

reply

The trouble with this post is that it operates on a Confirmation Bias. You ignore or try to downplay left Wing hate Speech, but then emphasis hate from the Right as if Beck is far worse than Olbermann. The Truth is, they are both about the same. They are both Partisan Political Commentarians who stir controversy and spew bile onto those who are Ideologically opposed to them.

That said, not everyone on the Right supports Beck, I know I don’t and am more Right Wing than beck himself. However, beck has begged people like me as the Lefts ultimate Dream, for I am a Monarchist and somehow this becomes left wing and the same thing as Communism.

Neither beck nor Olbermann impress me.

Still, the reason the Right is more prone to ignore the Hatred from Beck is the same as the reason the Left ignores the same sort of thing from Olbermann, because he tells you what you want to hear. He’s “One of you”. There is no real difference.

The OP is a creep. A waste of time.
