HA Goodman is not a progressive or member of the left. Never has been. [View all]

Yet he had a following during the primaries. Some lashed out at me for "shooting the messenger" when I called this scum out. Fake news is a big deal because it works. With certain very simple minded people, as long as the "journalist" says what they want to hear, then said "journalist" is good in their mind. This entitled ratfucker is now speaking for feminists in a completely sexist manner. He will still be followed and loved by some. This guy is flat out a Trump supporter. Including during the primary. It was blatantly clear what he was doing.

GQ’s Keith Olbermann Called Trump a ‘Russian Whore’ on Twitter. Olbermann Owes People An Apology

Imagine Donald Trump had Tweeted someone was a “whore,” and used another country as a description of the word. What would The New York Times and Washington Post say? Furthermore, is it alright to call anyone, even a man, a “whore” simply because you disagree politically? If Trump had called another man a “whore,” and used another country as part of the term, America’s media establishment would have exhibited outrage of Biblical proportions. In addition, feminists would have every right to condemn such deplorable use of language; especially if the intention is to insult a man by demeaning the women of another nation.


If you listen to GQ’s Keith Olbermann nowadays, he sounds like a less charming Joseph McCarthy. Yesterday on Twitter, however, Olbermann became more of a demagogue than Trump or anyone else. In a world where Bernie Sanders pointing his finger was considered sexist, Olbermann Tweeted that Trump was a “Russian Whore.” He repeated the xenophobic, sexist, and vile term in numerous Tweets, seen below:

In addition to sexist language, warning the President Elect “we will get you” should warrant at least a call from the FBI. As for his insulting message, progressives who care about ending misogyny and sexism should read his series of Tweets. Olbermann’s use of the phrases “Russian whore” and “Russia’s whore” (Tweeted throughout the day) is linked directly to his belief that such terms are insulting. If Trump had an alleged political link to the UK, it’s doubtful Olbermann would have called Trump a “British whore.” Someone should ask Mr. Olbermann if there were any double meanings pertaining to his use of the phrase; prostitution in Russia surged after the financial crisis. For Olbermann to have insulted the women of a rival nation, simply because he disagrees with Trump, is despicable. In addition, for Olbermann to have used the term without any evidence (emails, video, recordings, suspects) backing up the claim Russian hackers worked to elect Trump, is yet another flaw in his logic.

The biggest question pertaining to Olbermann’s use of the term “Russian whore” is how Slate, The Daily Beast and other progressive thought police will react. Had Trump Tweeted the same words towards a liberal male writer or pundit, Democrats would likely have contacted the International Criminal Court. Since Keith Olbermann is one of the more vocal defenders of Hillary Clinton, it’s telling that nobody paid attention to the xenophobia and hate found within his Tweet.

He also claims we are using Red Scare tactics. I can't believe people on the "left" ignorantly followed this entitled little man. We need to become better as a whole at combating infiltration from the right. It works on our most vulnerable voters.
