This guy is such an intellectual coward!! He only has guests on that agree with HIM. At least Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc have guests from 'the loyal opposition' on their programs! Olbermann never has anyone on his program to refute anything he says or to explain what they meant when they said something.
And it matters why that he doesn't interview people? He's a commentator and it's his show. And further, the quotes of these people speak for themselves far more often than now. What could they possibly hope to defend? And why does it bother you so much?
This is an outright lie. Hannity very rarely gets people who disagree with him on his show. And Hannity rarely gets black people on the platform when they are talking about the president. The only coward in the spotlight is people like Rush "I'm a fat bag of shit" Limbaugh and Sean "I'm dumb as rocks" Hannity.
Fuck you, dwstick. You get the worst person in the world receit today.
Whether you call him Congressman Brown or Dr. Brown, this person has no shame in saying "you can always go to the emergency room" in reference to healthcare. In this instance, for treatment of depression! The man was telling Brown about the cost of his medication, and this was Brown's response! Then when everyone started booing, he says "of course, the emergency room is the most expensive option, so..."
So, Congressman Brown? How about a PUBLIC OPTION! Oops, you're not allowed to say that...
LIberals come up with health reform that fines people $25,000 dollars and sends them to prison for not buying their product. Thats caring for the poor and middle class to a Liberal.
Even insurance companies never came up with something that evil. At least with Private Insurance we have the option not to buy their product.
Once again with Liberals it's all about the money and controlling other peoples lives.
You people are sick. And you call Republicans N a z i s
About what? Just read the bill for yourself. If you don't have insurance you have to buy into the government plan, if you don't then up to $25,000 fine and you go to jail.
The Jail time is one year. Ya that's right one year in Jail is Obamas plan for the poor and middle class who can't afford his $25,000 fine. Oh the Hope and Change.
Just out of curiosity, if there was no jail time and no 25,000 fine, just the introduction of a government program to compete with other insurance companies in the free market, would you support it?
One only has to look for themselves here on Youtube to hear Obama and other politicians say how a Public Option is nothing but a doorway to Single Payer. Single, as in one, as in no competition, just the government.
Themselves, in their own words, saying how they want "choice" eliminated. I don't support the Government doing anything that goes against my freedoms, no matter what party they come from.
Where the hell do you get this $25,000 fine from? It is more like around $500 fine. And there is no government takeover either. You'll still get your insurance no matter what.
The only hope and change I want is for people like Rush Limbaugh to have no radio show whatsoever. That would be nice. No Rush, no Beck, no Hannity. It would be a decent world then.
The Joint Committee on Taxation. Americans who fail maintain appropriate insurance could be fined and then charged with a penalty of $25,000 and up to a year in jail if they do not pay the fine.
So if only people you agree with could talk and anyone who does not agree is punished then this would be a decent world.
Can't attack the message so attack the messenger. Rightout of hte totalitarian handbook. When are the Democrats and Republicans going to realize they are just being played by these posers. They represent the money NOIT YOU! Dont forget it! Now back to work you scum! You CEO need new stripes on his private Jet.
These conservatives who also call themselves Christian and want to deny help to their fellows had better either quit calling themselves "conservative" or quit calling themselves "Christian"! Didn't Jesus say: "to the extent that you did not do to the least of these, my brothers, you did not do to me"?
Keith Olbermann has become - in a sense - exactly the same person as Glenn Beck. One is dark gray haired, one is light gray haired. One is left wing, one is right wing. But in fact they could have been birthed from the same thoroughly discredited mainstream media mother hen. Both are witty polemicists who make a great deal of money denigrating the other side in a captivating manner.
However, if you are looking for consistent intellectual prowess and integrity you won't find it in either Olbermann or Beck. Neither of them, so far as I can tell, will seriously attack central banking or America's military industrial complex (except in partisan terms). The chances of Keith Olbermann reporting on anti-war news, with Democrat Barack Obama in power, are far less than they were when he attacked Bush about the Iraq war debacle.
Good point RadarKat73080! The race in this world often goes immediately to the facile. But the truth may be found in the pages of many fine commentators who publish in small journals or on the Internet and who see the world in its appropriate complexity. THE TRUTH will set us free. Thank you so much for your question RadarKat73080. I borrowed this analysis from The Daily Bell - all credit goes to them - just in case someone tries to accuse me of plagiarizing.
Glenn Beck and his fellow conservatives are far more likely to criticize state-mandated programs with Obama in power than they were under Bush. The truth is NO MAIN STREAM MEDIA pundits, reporters, etc. can be taken seriously. Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck are both intensely intelligent people who have decided to restrict themselves to one side of an artificial intellectual paradigm in order to gain money and fame.
What is ironic, possibly, about their quest is that when history re-evaluates their arguments and bodies of work, it may be seen that commentators with far less fame and fortune were making far deeper points with genuine sophistication and humility.

I'll second that!
When does Obama get worst person? I mean after endless lies about war, Guantanamo, transparency, etc.... Oh that's right, those things were only wrong when the Republicans were running the show.
It doesn't matter what he says or who he has on the show as guests, because there are only about 3 people watching. Same for R Maddow.

Perhaps. Keith Olbermann was a sportscaster, Beck was a DJ. So, yeah, taking either of them too seriously is kinda stupid.
