Keith Olbermann Breaks Down All of Hillary's Past Comments That Were 'Forgiven'

Below is a breakdown of all of the past, outrageous comments Hillary had made incampaign that for the most part her supporters and the Democratic Party had forgiven her for. The list is tell-telling to say the least.


  • We have forgiven you your insistence that there have been widespread calls for you to end your campaign, when such calls had been few.
  • We have forgiven you your misspeaking about Martin Luther King's relative importance to the Civil Rights movement.
  • We have forgiven you your misspeaking about your under-fire landing in Bosnia.
  • We have forgiven you insisting Michigan's vote wouldn't count and then claiming those who would not count it were UN-Democratic.
  • We have forgiven you pledging to not campaign in Florida and thus disenfranchise voters there, and then claim those who stuck to those rules were as wrong as those who defended slavery or denied women the vote.
  • We have forgiven you the photos of Osama Bin Laden in an anti-Obama ad...
  • We have forgiven you fawning over the fairness of Fox News while they were still calling you a murderer.
  • We have forgiven you accepting Richard Mellon Scaife's endorsement and then laughing as you described his "deathbed conversion."
  • We have forgiven you quoting the electoral predictions of Boss Karl Rove.
  • We have forgiven you the 3 A-M Phone Call commercial.
  • We have forgiven you **President** Clinton's disparaging comparison of the Obama candidacy to Jesse Jackson's.
  • We have forgiven you Geraldine Ferraro's national radio interview suggesting Obama would not still be in the race had he been a white man.
  • We have forgiven you the dozen changing metrics and the endless self-contradictions of your insistence that your nomination is mathematically probable rather than a statistical impossibility.
  • We have forgiven you your declaration of some primary states as counting and some as not.
  • We have forgiven you exploiting Jeremiah Wright in front of the editorial board of the lunatic-fringe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
  • We have forgiven you exploiting William Ayers in front of the debate on ABC.
  • We have forgiven you for boasting of your "support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"...
  • We have even forgiven you repeatedly praising Senator McCain at Senator Obama's expense, and your **own** expense, and the Democratic **ticket's** expense.


It is amazing to say the least that she is where she is at in the campaign. Despite all of the things she has said above, she has managed to get as many votes as she has gotten in the campaign.

What is also amazing is the fact that if you list Obama's misquotes they pale in comparison to hers.

After this holiday weekend, I hope the super delegates put an end to her campaign once and for all. For the mercy of all of us.
