Keith Olbermann blasted Dr Laura Schlessinger as "Worst Person in the World" on his "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" show this weekend. But not for her using the N-word 11 times on her radio show last week.
No, he's going much deeper into the "blind, ignorant racism" she revealed when she discussed Obama's presidency.
"I really thought that once we had a black president, the attempt to demonize whites hating blacks would stop but it seems to have grown and I don't get it. Yes, I do. It's all about power," Laura whined.
"Translation: we elected one of you president, so stop complaining there's any racism left in this country," Olbermann says, adding that her comments are tantamount to, "Haven't we done enough for you people?"
"Any buffoon can get on the radio and shout the N-word 11 times; that doesn't make them racist," he continues. "The other part -- 'I really thought that once we had a black president this would stop' -- that makes them a racist."
Meanwhile, Associated Press reports that Democratic Rep. John Mizuno, a Hawaii state lawmaker, is upset over those 11 N-words and he's announced plans to introduce a symbolic resolution banning the N-word after he heard her show.
The resolution would be considered by the state Legislature in January.

Laura S is a moron-Keith is so right on. Keep it up Keith!
Keith Olbermann has one of the most thoughtful funny shows on tv. and his show is NOT the flip side of FOX ("News"), because unlike FOX, his show is based on analysis of FACTS, something they don't recognize at FOX NEWS.
I am a black woman married to a white man and my husband would not tolerate the "N" word from any of our family and friends. Just because some blacks and whites choose to use the word doesn't make it acceptable. What does having a black president or choosing to marry out of your race have to do with tolerating any disrespect? HBO and Boondocks should not be the moral standard, Dr. Laura.
We need better talking heads in this country.
Not only is Keith Olbermann the stupidest human on this planet, (not sure he's human) his ratings SUCK! Anyone wonder why he got booted from NBC's football coverage?
I heard the doctor ask"How many black people voted for Obama because he was black". My question is, how many people voted against him because he's black? Compare those numbers.
I can't think of anyone in the public eye that I dislike anymore than Keith Olbermann. He's stupid and his rants and raves are totally without merit. He is a total loser in the ratings and his show is a total waste of time and money. MSNBC should be ashamed to give such a moron a show. I would throw my TV out the window if I didn't have other choices!
Bathtub boy is off his meds again.
Nobody is listening to his rants but his mother and only on some days. Beck has ten times his ratings in the afternoon compared to his prime time slot.
Even Dr. L kicks his butt in the ratings.
Nothing funnier than watching the MSM make excuses for Obama's support of the ground zero mosque, being that Hamas and other terrorist groups are in agreement not caring about what a poke in the eye it is to survivors and families of 911 tragedy.
MSNBC is a money loser for General Electric but being an arm of the obama regime gets them govt. (taxpayer) money back in spades through govt no bid contracts....
