Keith Olberman Almost Admits He Was Wrong

Remember this speech from February, 2008? Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers was introducing Hillary Clinton at a rally in Ohio.

Guess who was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight?

I wonder if Keith is beginning to regret trying so hard to get Hillary out of the race? I wonder if he remembers suggesting Hillary should be taken in a room by a superdelegate, “and only he comes out”?

Here’s the post by Dave Weigel: We Are All Tom Buffenbarger Now.

Back in 2008, Obama supporters thought Buffenbarger was a racist using right wing talking points against The Messiah. It seems he actually knew a thing or two about Barack “vote present” Obama and his tendency to fold like a cheap suit.

Kudos to Keith Olbermann for having the guts to put Buffenbarger on his show, and congratulations to Buffenbarger for handling the opportunity with class.
