A tea party group is criticizing Keith Olbermann for suggesting the conservative grassroots organizations lack diversity, challenging the MSNBC host to attend an anti-tax rally on Saturday.
A 90-second web video posted on Monday by the Dallas Tea Party rebuts the liberal “Countdown” host’s attacks on the groups during his show.
“Let me ask all of you who attend these things, how many black faces do you see at these events?” Olberman says during a clip highlighted in the video.
“Well, Keith, we see a whole lot more at our events than we see at MSNBC,” a narrator responds, as the video cuts to an image of the network’s mostly white lineup.
The video highlights the same lineup after Olbermann asks later, “Why are you surrounded by largest crowd you will ever again see in your life that consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?”
One tea party activist in the video then tells Olbermann, “Something tells me you’ve never been to a tea party. We think you need to get out of your bubble.”
I think it is a waste of time engaging with Olbermann. He will go to one; return and rant on you. You will only give him ratings, notoriety; so why bother. I even wondered about posting this...

I tend to agree that it's a waste of time to try to teach this unteachable misogynist anything, as well. He is not someone who wants to learn and to think critically, preferring instead to continue being the self-important, narrow minded jerk he is.

His stupid over-the-top rants are making him a lot of money and keeping him employed. why wouldn't he display common sense and become a normal human being? Because, he would lose his job, that's why. He is being paid to be an idiot.
We need to remember to follow the money trail when it comes to people in the media and politics. They are all dancing clowns for the old mighty dollar and the glory of power.
We need to answer things like this because frankly it is racist to assume that all black people love Obama lol there are a few on this board that can't stand him or his policies. Quiet as it is kept black people are Republicans too. Sheese I can't stand Olbermann. We fight him because frankly we have to because he is not going to let Hllary win other wise he has decided that he is majorally important although his ratings are in the toliet.
