Glenn Beck hilariously derides Keith Olbermann for special comment on Sherrod Story

This was the best laugh I've had in a long time. I couldn't even drink my coffee watching this one, I was laughing so hard. Made my day!

Oh my – how hilarious. Obermann is such idiot.

Oh Beck, you always make my day.

I don't understand how someone who graduated from an AGRICULTURE College, excuse me, HARVARD or YALE or whatever all of you progressivists claim is the “rich, we're-better-than-you-when-we're-just-overpaying-for-stuff-we-don't-need-whatsoever” schools, would know anything about French History.

Hey Keith, here's a tip. If you know so much about France, why not go live there. You certainly don't claim to know anything about the history of the country you live in. Another tip, his name is DICK, not Richard.

Yeah, Keith Oberfuhrer is such a tool!

Remember when he did that special comment about snorting cocaine, bottoming out, then finding Jesus? What a tool! I wish we could just shut down those dialectical materialists at MSNBC once and for all!!

It's especially funny when Glenn beck confuses “Alfred Dreyfus” with the actor “Richard Dreyfus”, makes a joke about his name being “Dick” and then calls him “Richard Allen Dreyfus”.

Anyway, this has little to do with French history, the “Dreyfus Affair” is extremely important in WORLD history as a little known journalist name Theodor Herzl covered the story and then used it as a launching point for the Zionist movement that lead the creation of the state of Israel. I remember learning about it in high school – in fact I think we even had a mock Dreyfus trial in our class.

Haha, I'm sure in that fleeting moment, during which Beck's whole point was that Olbermann is a pretentious ego maniac who refers to Alfred Dreyfus as if everyone should know who he is, that Beck thought back to his cherished moments watching an HBO special about Dreyfus staring Richard Dreyfuss as another character. Right. Both Beck and Olbermann are crazy ego maniacs, they just hold opposing political views. And the name calling is unnecessary, come on.

Wow…you absolutely missed the analogy made to the Dreyfus Affair…no wonder.

He wasn't belittling for knowing about the Dreyfus Affair. He was belittled because he spoke of it as if we all should know of it which is comical/laughable.

That was too funny!!!

Yeah, Glenn's listeners are so illiterate that he consistently leads the top book sales lists, at one time even having five in the top ten. Not only that, sales of every book Glenn recommends skyrocket overnight. If you examine the types of books that make it to the top of the list, the vast majority of them are written by conservatives. Wow! Given those facts, one can clearly see that it's really the progressive liberals who are the illiterates, huh?

You go girl! Its not very often a cry of real racism is herd and then actually backed up in reference to Tea Party/Glenn/Rush/etc. followers. I haven't once heard any factual claim of racism backed up in regard to tea party/912'rs. The one video I have seen was edited to only show the moron with his “White power” shirt. What the edited video didn't show but the full video did was the other tea party members kicking him out! Butt heads like that don't represent us and what we stand for.

Stay strong gang. Don't let hatred or fear stop our momentum.

My comment is not about K.Olbermann, but about G. Beck's commenting the Dreyfus affair. It is a very well known case in history, both french and jewish, and beyond. Sharodd's situation of course has nothing to do with Dreyfus case, but nevertheless I am taken aback by the way Glenn Beck talks about the latter. Very unpleasant aftertaste

@Mytime1976 – yes you should know about Dreyfus Affair. Everyone should. As a matter a fact very many do.

really – do tell – where is Beck wrong on the Constitution?

***OUCH*** My stomach hurts from laughing!!! Hahaha!

Once again, Beck shows his red a**. Palin? Ag degree, too. Beck? Couldn't even get thru a semester of college. Now, he's confuting the Dreyfus Affair, which prompted the risk of anti-semitism in Europe. How appropriate.

The Agricultural College here is Cornell. And Beck is a graduate of what college? And why not?

You make a more adult, and reasoned response to the historical analogy Olbermann was making than Beck does with his childish, forced mockery.

In summary: We is Americans! We don't need us no Frenchie history lessons from some educated elitist! Americans do not need European history lessons; it has nothing to do with our Freedoms and independence, the way Beck and Palin books do! We read Becks books, so we are smart. Libs don't read his books, what does that tell you?

Could it be that some in the lamestream media are frustrated and need to take it out on someone as good as Glenn Beck? Keith Olberman is strange.

Who destoryed her reputation? The NAACP or the president who had her fired? A “woman's reputation” was not destroyed. Obama offered her job back but she wasn't sure she wants to work for the government again. She'll probably write a book and make money out of this whole affair? But her reputation destroyed? If she had not changed her racists ways she should have had her reputation destoryed. But she saw the light and will do very well now. What gets me about liberals is that they think they are smarter than everybody else. I've yet to see a liberal who can hold a candle to someone like the late William F. Buckley or Michael Medved.

Deep down inside I think you would know anyway, even without the evil, elitist lefties and there fancy education and knowledge. But hey just point at them and yell “NERD!” That way you will feel superior for a little while.

Since the poster still thinks the name is Dick (Richard), then yes your guess would be correct.
The whole premise of the post was scary… as if knowledge is such a bad thing, particularly knowledge of events that laid the foundation for what we as a country stand for….. oh well…

PS People that study the solar system (astronomers) should go live on Mars!!!!! Since they love it soooo much!!!

Well, I kinda have to disagree with you here. For one thing, the person who fired Sherrod said that he was the one who made that decision, not the WH, not Obama, just him. You are right in that the NAACP most certainly deserves to be taken to the woodshed for their part in the whole mess, and same goes for those in the media who should have known from past experience that Breitbart is not and never has been a reliable source.

But to say, “No harm, no foul”, when whoever isolated that little splice from the entire tape of Sherrod's speech most certainly did so with the intention of causing harm, seems to me a bit like claiming that someone who attempts to blow up a building gets a free pass if the bomb fails to detonate. The intention was to knowingly, willingly cause harm to an innocent person. And that is precisely what would have happened had Sherrod not immediately fought back; had the white farmers not called bullshit on the accusations; had the entire tape never surfaced. It was this dangerous willingness to rush to judgement, sans verification, that prompted K.O. to draw a parallel between Dreyfus and Sherrod. And yes, Devil's Island was a hellhole, but public humiliation and being ostracised can be pretty hellish, too.

FYI, William F. Buckley was a well-educated, bright, articulate man. I knew Bill Buckley, and Glenn Beck, sir, is no William F. Buckley. In fact, the difference between Buckley and Beck is approximately the distance from Earth to Alpha Centauri. Well…probably considerably farther, but I'm being kind.

Would you like to explain your accusations? Significant point in history? How so? Anti-Semitsm? Based on what proof? Precursors? You mean that the Nazis learned how to do it from this Pappion (Butterfly tattoo reference) incident? I have a different take on the Nazis and anti-semitism. I see a wind, nay, hurricane blowing past you. I recommend a reading of an unbiased history tome and not a revisionist one.

On his show Countdown, Keith has claimed a superior position because of his “Ivy League education” and has viciously derided others because of the colleges they attended…

Keith is so sensitive to the subject of his Alma Mater that when Ann Coulter correctly identified his college as an Ag school, the next night Keith went on his show in an indignant hissy fit and held up his framed degree pointing to the large font that read Cornell University, to prove to the world his pedigree.

He deserved to be made fun of, he can't admit he went to an Ag school because he's ashamed of if. Glenn Beck is not afraid of his education and he'll tell everyone he's self educated, he knows the institution does not make the man.

I wonder what Obermann will do when he grows up?

History? Who needs history. How much more time are they going to spend laughing at nothing? Name calling etc. Did you actually listen to this? Is this waht you guys listen too daily? Is this it? You guys must be very, very lonely. Can you respond to the actual history? Or are you too busy eating “freedom fries”?
