I think he is referring to where, in a fit of paranoia, Howard Roark stated Keith Olbermann called for Hillary Clintons death. I told Howard he was a liar, that Keith did no such thing. And he didn't.

Keith, while joking with Howard Fineman about the absurdity of the Democratic Primary said they could end the democratic primary by sending someone in a room with Hillary and only them coming out.

Somehow, Howard, in between sips of coffee and reading Soldier of Fortune Magazine, turned this into Keith Olbermann placing a Fatwa on Senator Clinton's head. Pretty shameful, but ya know how those Bible thumpers are. They are just following what the Bible says.

I believe it's Matthew 4:17, "in the face of overwhelming criticism when thy hath nothing else to respond with, simply fabricate stories and exaggerate comments made in jest and ye shall forever be held in high regard by the Mullet Wing of the Republican Party." Of course, I'm paraphrasing.
Some of those "To be continued" items on the Snopes list are so silly that they are just not worth even trying to find out the veracity thereof. Such as his Senator Obama's first name, Obama not being Swahili but Arabic. Swahili has borrowed words from Arabic, various Bantu languages and even Indo-European languages. It started as a trade pidgin in the area of the Indian Ocean ports where people from the West, India, and the Middle East met with native Bantu speakers and the pidgin evolved into a formal literary and spoken language. It would be like arguing that an English word such as "machine" isn't English but French and then that it wasn't even French, really, rather Latin.
"Madrassa" merely means "school" in Arabic, just as "talib" means student. They are words in Bahasa Indonesia, the main language of Jakarta, like Swahili, a language that has taken various languages (including that evil Arabic tongue) and made a formal language out of the hodgepodge -- just like our Modern English Language took a language that was basically akin to Old Frisian in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands and joined a bunch of words that came from the French, itself a jumble of Latin, Frankish, Basque, and Celtic languages and made a new creature out of them all.
That is stuff you learn in Intro to Linguistics as an undergraduate. No need to actually find the source material to debunk that crap, to many it is common knowledge. The madrassa stuff would be like saying "Obama amat school" with the connotation that the English word in the otherwise Latin sentence makes Obama an evil follower of evil English ways.
This how those "from an e-mail" things work, a half-truth here, a soupcon of innuendo and voila, something akin to the infamous "Claude Pepper and his wife matriculated before marriage and furthermore, his sister is a notorious thespian in NYC!" Indeed, Cousin Claude and his wife did indeed matriculate before marriage, they actually met in college and waited until after to marry, and his sister was a Broadway actress. These things are a joke to the originator, and they try to see how many gullible semi-literate hicks and suckers there are in the world, but since one is born every minute. . .they occasionally work.

Monkey,

I think he is referring to where, in a fit of paranoia, Howard Roark stated Keith Olbermann called for Hillary Clintons death. I told Howard he was a liar, that Keith did no such thing. And he didn't.

Actual quote:

"Yeah, somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out."

Sorry, Monkey, you misquoted the statement its “only he comes out” not “only them comes out.”

Quite convenient, your little mis-statement. Typical f monkey to fling their feces when all else fails. I guess you revert to type when there’s nothing else to be said.

In fact, his comment you refer to as him calling for someone's death was,

""Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out"

Wow Howard, you totally got me there. He's a regular terrorist. You totally proved me wrong. I am a liar. Keith Olbermann has issued a fatwa for Hillary Clinton.

You did it earlier, in a previous thread. But, at least a Freudian slip revealed the true when you admitted your error.

As to paranoid, do you even know the meaning of the word? “Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others:” Now, tell me how my statement lead to such a personal fear or distrust?
I know what was said Howard. I was the one who had to post it on this thread after you went off on some delusional tangent about Keith issuing a fatwa for Senator Clinton. I actually went and got the actual quote.

I am sorry you are having trouble understanding that "them" was meant in general, as Keith meant "he" in general. I know in your paranoid world, you probably think "he" was referring to some islamo-fascist that Keith already has appointed to take out Clinton, but he was being facetious. It's rather disturbing that you have to sink to such lows in an attempt to try to find something negative to say about Keith and Countdown. It's a stark reminder that the show is, in fact, a beacon of truth in all the crap put out by Fox News.

And as far as my comment. I was also being facetious. But you've shown an amazing inability to determine sarcasm. First, the Keith comment, then my comment.

Gosh Howard, your posts are so enlightening and well thought out. You always research the facts so well. Just like with your Franken posts, you weren't misleading at all. You reported the whole story. I am very impressed.

Clarification: The previous paragraph was complete and utter sarcasm. This notification is for Howard and potentially Skymaster.
Howard, the more paranoid conclusions you draw from my statements, Keith's statements and anyone else's statements only furthers my belief that what we're saying is working. Thanks for the reassurance.

And I love your comment, because I have had a lot of PMs say the same thing about you.
