Keith Olbermann spends more time attacking the people who exposed the phony documents story than he does examining the people who broadcast it. Monday night he went after bloggers generally and Mike Krempasky specifically. Krempasky, known to FlynnFiles readers as the designer of this site, is a guerrilla internet activist involved with PaveFrance.com, RedState.org, and Rathergate.com. Olbermann referred on his broadcast to "one Mike Krempasky," who, he claims, didn't divulge "his professional connections." What??? It's no secret who Mike Krempasky is. He works for conservative direct-mail guru Richard Viguerie. He didn't hide his association with RatherGate.com. He registered the site in his own name. All of that is of no interest to Olbermann, who never even bothered to call Krempasky, check the internet registry, or have him on his show to defend himself. After attacking bloggers, Olbermann floated the idea that "the Republicans set CBS up." "Is there any question which side came out the winner politically?" asked Olbermann. To discuss blogging, the MSNBC host had a disenchated blogger on as a guest. Barbara O'Brian complained that bloggers had been "infiltrated by the establishment." That's liberalspeak for they're not all liberals.

Yeah, did dear Keith mention that Miss Barbara O'Brien runs www.mahablog.com - and she's a dedicated Bush-hater? Um...no. Oh well, he's a dolt.

Mike,

Tonight Olbermann referred to bloggers getting ahead of their "supply lines" by calling for Bob Shieffer to be kept from participating in the presidential debates. Shieffer's brother apparently was involved with the Texas Rangers and George Bush, which in Olbermann's mind meant that he would in someway be beneficial to Bush if he participated in the debates. The "supply lines" crack was obviously meant to infer that the bloggers--the people who broke the Rathergate story--are in cahoots with the White House.
