MSDNC’s Olby outdoes himself with “Stockholm Syndrome” sludgefest
Just when you think the nutcases in MSDNC’s primetime line-up can’t possibly outdo themselves on how low they will stoop to trash conservatives, one of them does. Check out this hate-filled rant (on video) that happened last night between Olby and Hollywood fruitcake Janeane Garofalo (who is, sadly, as we all know, a part of the 24 cast) regarding women and black folks who have, to paraphrase, ‘betrayed their own kind’ by believing in conservative ideals.
Here’s a sneak peek:
JANEANE GAROFALO: She dated him, so either she suffers from Stockholm Syndrome β a lot like Michael Steele, whoβs the black guy in the Republican party who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, which means you try and curry favor with the oppressor.
KEITH OLBERMANN: Yes, you talk about self-loathing.
GAROFALO: Yeah, and thereβs, any female or person of color in the Republican party is struggling with Stockholm Syndrome.
Max Twain at the Race42012 blog responds (via Memeo):
Get that? If you are a person of color and you donβt act and think the same way as liberal people of color, then you have a mental disorder. Iβm pretty sure suggesting that members of a certain race should all act and think the same way isβ¦ummβ¦RACIST.
Shhh! Don’t tell that to the head honchos at NBC. They’re too busy worrying about whether or not CNBC is being “too mean” to Barack Obama.
Final word, from Matt Lewis:
If you still think liberalism is about diversity of opinion, intellectual discussion, and tolerance, you’re not paying attention.
Right on.
