WTF is a CLINTEREST

[boston bean]

Was this purposeful??

KeithO is a pig.

[durrrty libby]

1. Be careful. The KOWs will get you. (Keith Ogremann Worshipers)

[Vinca]

2. Remember the old days? When all DUer's wanted universal,

single payer healthcare and loved Olbermann?

[Blue-Jay]

3. and when DUers were distrustful of the DLC?

good times...good times...

[JVS]

5. Yeah, really. What the fuck happened with that?

[boston bean]

6. WTF does this have to do with shit from shinola. You got nothing to say

about the subject of the OP?

[Blue-Jay]

7. Yeah. It's dumb.

This isn't your thread. I can do anything I want in here.

[JVS]

9. Dude, watch this video. It's awesome political theater.

[boston bean]

4. Remember the gool ol days of DU when progressive didn't stand for this.

Oh how I long for the good ol days. Yeah right!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. My Only Post Of The Day So I Better Make It Good

Is suppporting universal health care and opposing the use of the word "Clinterist" which I presume is a double entendre for the word clitoris mutually exclusive?

Sounds like an awful thing to say...

[roguevalley]

19. oh please. clinton + interest. this forum has no equanimity anymore.

[Beacool]

22. The fact that it sounds like clitoris is just a mere coincidence?

Yeah, right........

:thumbsdown:

[bobbert]

27. I never realized interest rhymes with clitoris

What an offensive word!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. How does it sound like "clitoris"?

The only thing changed from "Clinton" follows the "t". The "Clint" part comes from the surname itself. The only thing added is "erest". Clitoris diverges from "Clinterest" after the third letter. Meanwhile, Clitoris diverges from "Clinton" after the third letter as well. the "erest" part has no effect.

[Bake]

36. Apparently you don't know how to pronounce clitoris

Because if you did, you'd see the similarity.

Bake

[SemiCharmedQuark]

39. I guess what I'm asking is, what does the "erest" part added do to make it sound like "Clitoris"?

It seems the similarities are all being drawn to the "clint" part and that is the actual surname.

"Er-est" doesn't sound like "O-ris" especially when proper stresses are placed.

[bobbert]

40. Maybe my mind isn't in the gutter

I didn't even think of clinterest and clitoris even being compared to each other until some poster brought up the crazy idea. I guess if clinterest sounds like clitoris, that any name you make as a joke that starts with clint sounds like clit and therefore is offensive.

[Bake]

42. There's nothing "gutter" or dirty about the female body ...

It's making jokes/puns about it that is in the gutter.

Bake

[bobbert]

45. The pun was created by a Clinton fan

interest and clinton both have INT in it, so he merged them together. jokes/puns could be bad, but how about turning non-offensive things someone would say into sexist dialect?

[redqueen]

52. It was created by a Clinton fan?

Heh... I guess once the poutrage crew finds out, they'll start saying that if it was created by a Clinton supporter... well that's different, then.

*sigh*

[redqueen]

47. They have gone SO FAR around the bend.

:crazy:

[TheWraith]

32. DAMN, you people are pathetic and desperate.

Trying to find ANY excuse to smear the people who tell the truth.

[Beacool]

67. In politics, the truth is very subjective............ n/t

[durrrty libby]

11. NO

[Bake]

34. I still want universal single-payer (Obama's not for that, though).

But I stopped loving KO when he started attacking Dems every night.

And "Clinterest?" Come the fuck on! He probably thought it was clever, but even as a male I find it a bit sexist. And not very clever. Disappointing, actually.

Bake

[rinsd]

77. 6 months ago, Olbermann was villified as a Hillary shill.

Just shows the overwhelming majority of people here are insane.

[dionysus]

49. lol, such transparent freepers you idiots are...

[buff2]

10. When KO turned from bashing bush to bashing Hillary

That's when I quit watching him. He went after her with as much venom as we see on this board. It turned me completely against him. I can't stand to look at him anymore. :puke:

He's a two faced SOB IMHO.

[rodeodance]

14. agree.

[jhain]

15. If you are young

it may be difficult for you to recall a time when reporters were OBJECTIVE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(journalism)
Objectivity is a significant principle of journalistic professionalism, especially in the United Kingdom and United States. Journalistic objectivity can refer to fairness, disinterestedness, factuality, and nonpartisanship, but most often encompasses all of these qualities.


Mr. Olbermann is OBJECTIVE.

Advocacy journalism is one alternative to objective journalism. Tune into Fox if that is what you like.

[jefferson_dem]

16. That's when I started to like him even more.

The man has principle and speaks truth to power...even if that power is named "ClintonInc".

[buff2]

20. You would be singing a different tune if it was Obama

he was smearing on a daily basis. Obama supporters can only see one side...THEIR side.Just like the freepers.

[Beacool]

26. Very true............

It'll be fascinating to see how they'll react when we go into the GE and their leader may not end up being the media darling anymore.

[buff2]

28. It's coming

Payback is a bitch! :evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

75. And if he was bashing Obama nightly many of you would be liking it.

What's the difference? :shrug:

[D23MIURG23]

78. The irony is just too much to bear...

:rofl:

[Justyce]

18. Ditto. nt

[Beacool]

24. Me too!!!

When he delivered that pompous 10 minute diatribe against her because of something Ferraro had said, I changed the channel and haven't watched him ever since that night. Ditto for the rest of that crappy network. The only one who is half way fair is Dan Abrams.

No wonder their ratings are in the crapper and FOX does much better.

[Hepburn]

35. So you switched to FUX SNOOZE,,,,

...figures.

[Bake]

37. Nope. I watched ESPN and then the men's basketball finals.

But I sure as hell didn't watch KO. He might want to consider that he's alienating half his audience. I used to be a faithful viewer; not anymore.

Just like the Obots are alienating a lot of Dems who may stay home for the GE.

Bake

[Beacool]

66. I watch them on occasion.

At least they have no horse in the Democratic race and they bash equally. MSNBC has ceased to be a news channel and has become an unofficial part of Obama's campaign, their slant is disturbing.

Whatever happened to the Walter Cronkite's of the world of journalism??? Now everybody is a pundit with an axe to grind!!!!

[Skip Intro]

33. Same here.

[Vinca]

12. Clinterest: Interest in Clinton. It's not rocket science. nt

[grantcart]

44. I didn't get it for a long time

say it really fast 3 times

[rodeodance]

13. KO had to admit the hospital story was BS--but he onto his Hillary smearfest anyway

[BlueJac]

17. All I can say is.........

:cry:

[Hepburn]

21. Suggestion:

Look in your own mirror and I am sure you will see one.

Any other questions? :hi:

[buff2]

23. Boy,you just drip with class

:sarcasm:

[Hepburn]

25. wow....IGNORED responded to me!

Wonder which one of the 40 or so I have on IGNORE made the comment!

:rofl:

[Bake]

38. You people crack me up with your "ignore" lists.

Don't listen to anything that challenges your precious Cult Leader.

If I had an Ignore list, you'd be at the top. But then what would I do for entertainment?

Bake

[DemGa]

29. KO is just a left-wing O'Reilly

The other end of the spectrum is every bit as vile and self-absorbed.

[buff2]

30. I never would have dreamed he was like that

I thought he was special.....until he showed his evil side.

[truebrit71]

41. ROFL!!! Typical Hilltard response...when someone bashed their Queen the worker bees get all snippy..

...and start burning bridges...

This is the SAME Keith that was the darling of 98% of DU last year and the year before when he was slamming bush...but now that he holds their Queen to the same standards all of a sudden he's an idiot, a blowhard and a fool...

It would be funny if it weren't so fucking pathetic...:eyes:

[buff2]

48. He shouldn't be bashing a Democrat on national tv

He's just carrying the water for the repukes,that's all.If he's on OUR side then he should STAY on our side....not do the repuke dirty work for them. (you're not going to win very many people over by your hateful posts,either)...just sayin....

[truebrit71]

60. Um, he's holding her to the same standard as everyone else...

..he's not on anyone's SIDE per se...

[DemGa]

50. You've refuted NOTHING I've said

Now THAT would be funny, if not so pathetic. KO type "liberals" are just the flip-side of the same obnoxious coin -- aka Obama's "base."

[truebrit71]

62. Speaking of pathetic...

...try reading comprehension...I said that he held your Queen to the same standard as everyone else...something that Bill Orally NEVER does.. but that doesn't refute on at least one count the fact that he's simply the left-wing Billo?

Wow....

[DemGa]

65. And to further expound

Of course it refutes your point -- these extreme "liberals" hate everything against their agenda: Clinton AND the Democratic Party if need be.

Need proof? See Ted Kennedy 1980. They are the treacherous wing of the "Democrats."

[truebrit71]

70. So i'm confused...I did, or didn't refute your point by showing him to be different than Loofah-Man?

:shrug:?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

54. You Shouldn't Call People "Tards" From The Anonymity Of Your Computer

~

[truebrit71]

64. Yes mom...i'll make sure to clean my room too...

...:eyes:

[JVS]

74. That's what happens when hillbots post things so mindbendingly stupid from the anonymity of their...

computers that people reading them are left puzzled and suspect that they are symptoms of cognitive disabilities.

[RememberWellstone]

43. Keith Olberbama

Thats about it.

[buff2]

51. I'll have to give you a two snaps up on that one!

:hi:

[rodeodance]

71. ha ha--GOOD ONE.

[redqueen]

46. It's a play on words.

This is beyond crazy.

[DefenseLawyer]

53. If you ever watch his show

You would know that they often have a little play on words in the title of their stories. Some of them are pretty funny. It is just a little blurt at the bottom of the screen, often times it changes when they move on to another aspect of the same story. In this case it was a play on words with "Clinton" and "Conflict of Interest" which they wrote as "Clintonflict of Clinterest". Not exactly sure why that makes Olbermann a pig, but if you think it does, knock yourself out. It is certainly more egregious than having your top strategist lobbying for a foreign country on behalf of a trade deal you are supposed to oppose.

[boston bean]

56. you spelled his little made up word wrong. nt

[DefenseLawyer]

58. Well obviously I am a sexist Hillary basher who can't spell

I'll fix that for you. Your "point" is still lame, no matter how it is spelled.

[boston bean]

59. thank you. nt

[kikiek]

55. k&r because I agree

[bunnies]

57. Clinterest = A brilliant play on words. nt

[jakem]

61. i dunno, i find the whole topic disclinteresting....

[Tresalisa]

63. I love words. I love the way people use them.

I love the possibilities when you combine two words together to make a point. I think "clinterest" is clever. I love words like "poutrage" and "fauxtography". There are many more examples I could give.

I'm going to attribute this saying to Freud, though some disagree it's actually his, and modify it just a little bit - "Sometimes a word is just a word".

:shrug:

[JackORoses]

68. that KO sure is a Cunning Linguist

;)

[bobbert]

73. That's a good one!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

69. Someone more Clinterist than thou?

[apocalypsehow]

72. It took some heavy reading through this thread to figure out what the Outrage Of The Day was about

this time. Kinda silly, methinks.

[Forkboy]

76. It's pretty funny, actually.

:)
