Funny Video - John Stewart and Keith Olbermann Clash Over Scott Brown
Submitted by DeepDiveAdmin on Jan 24, 2010
The Massachussetts Senate race was a dramatic and heated experience for many Americans even beyond the great state of Massachussetts. MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann had some very strong opinions of his own on the matter, referring to Republican candidate Scott Brown as "sexist," "homophobic," "reactionary" and even a "supporter of violence against women."
Bringing some much needed comic relief to the situation, Daily Show host John Stewart offered his commentary of Olbermann's words, in classic Stewart fashion. Below, see Olbermann's recap as well as the full Daily Show bit and finally Olbermann's surprising response.

Keith Olbermann is a joke. He's nothing more than a left wing Rush Limbaugh.
equates to that of fart jokes in junior high school .
While I am not happy Brown won in Massachusetts, the Democrats deserved to lose because they just cannot get their scattered brains together. I am a Democrat saying that! Because it's true! Not unlike the radical right-wingers do only on the extreme conservative right, some leftists don't stop at the extreme progressive left edge, they go tripping and verbally screeching over into the abysmal abyss, Olberman often falls over into it. I think Brown is not the Republican target Olberman ought to go after. He ought to knock down the calcified Republicans whose answers always sound as if they are playing the same cd.
Oh please!
Everyone knows that Maddow, Olbermann are why no one watches MSNBC anymore and their ratings suck!
And this explains why anyone who calls their hate-filled rants 'news' is politically ignorant...
Please watch a REAL news channel won't you?
I have to hand it to Stewart though, his comedy had some truth in it, and he is funny... but he is NOT NEWS.
Kudos to John for calling out Keith. And kudos to Keith for having the sense to admit he was wrong . This is what reasonable people do. How refreshing to see people looking for the truth in this world that is typically filled with deceit. Thank you, both of you, for helping me keep my faith in human decency.
Yes olberman went over the top but once john called him out he did say 'yeah you're right' alot of conservatives on here just want to hate on both of these guys since they are liberal. Never mind the fact that John Stewart is easily the most honest man in politics and he is actually exceptionally knowledgable as well.
Keith Olbermann has become a joke. He has become what he claims to have hated about the right; an over-the-top, hateful, name-calling, racist idiot. If he had any credibility at all, he would name himself as the "worst person in the world" at least two times per week. He really should have stuck to sports news on ESPN. Politics is way over his head.
Much like Beck. I'm not a fan of Olbermann, Beck and O'Riley. All three are still clowns for ratings rather than give any sort of truth.
What is untruthful about Beck? He does well-researched pieces and plays THEIR OWN WORDS.
When is the loony left going to live up to that fact?
Why don't they call and correct him?
They never do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beck does this in an entertaining way, but he does deal in facts... unlike MSNBC who carry water for the communists.
Take the vale from over your eyes and look at what you're being fed.
Beck is a dealer in fear, conspiracy and tear.
A puppet of Fox and dark spot on the whole of the human race .
He doesn't do Any research. Someone writes down what they want him to say on the teleprompter that you get so mad about Obama using. A monkey could do his job and would do it with more knowledge of what's happening in America and the world.
