Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann - 11/9/10

[MsVideoview]

Michael Moore = Good Stuff

[robertrstevens]

Without Michael Moore or without Keith Olbermann, this country is rushing headlong into the well deserved status of Nazi Germany in 1945!

[southpore1]

My name is Keith, I can't take the bad ratings, so I QUIT!

[megking]

@southpore1

^ Implying that he actually resigned at all.

^ Also implying that ratings actually mean shit.

[southpore1]

@megking Its funny how ratings don't mean anything because the libtards are losing BIG TIME!! In reality, megking, it tells the broadcasting companies that America is fed up with their left spin on information.

[southpore1]

@megking lol! Why do libtards have the same rubber stamped answer to ratings! News flash to lefties: ratings tell alot!

Keith Olbermann = Low Ratings

MSNBC= FAIL

CNN = FAIL

FOX CHANNEL = BIG RATINGS, BIG SUCCESS, PROSPERITY TO BILL O"REILLY, HANNITTY, BECK, GRETA

[megking]

@southpore1

^Implying that im liberal or even taking part in the farce that is the 'political party bullshit'

Also. fox channel, bill'o, ect. all labeled as liars and as close to the 'spin' zone that you can ever get.

[southpore1]

@megking You claim you're not a lib, but you're a hater.

Sheen = Hater

Megking = Hater

[megking]

@southpore1

Oh, my apologies then, i didnt know you got branded a hater when you called idiots and liars on their bullshit.

[oriskany]

The last President who believed he was actually running the country was assassinated in Dallas. I was a teenager and thought the world was coming to an end. Now, I am not a teenager and slowly realized that The President of The United States is an elected hood ornament. To put blame on any President is tantamount to insisting he knows the details of everything, every day, 24/7.

Obama, poor schmuck is just now getting it.

These two clowns are bitching at the coach, missing the point.

[MoJoSB]

I really will never understand how people can defending Wall St and the Bankers and bash Moore and Olbermann.

Amazing.

[borntobelegend]

@MoJoSB

That idiot supports Obama he voted for Obama

[pennjersey83]

fuck olbermann is annoying....take your Ritalin and calm the fuck down

[pn2543]

the profit motive does not belong in health care, it is downright immoral, it does not provide incentives to provide better care, just the reverse, the less care provided the more profit. the profit motive works fine if you are making cars or computers but not if you are providing health care.

[travissimo78]

@777danzig $1000 for 40hrs! Stay in bed dude, You are a slave... You NEED to watch, Capitalism, a love story.

[Ventorez]

let me charge you for using my boot hahahahah

[travissimo78]

@777danzig it sounds like you bought all the propaganda hook, line and sinker. No-one gets told where to work! Stop watching 70's Reagan videos. A country can be judged by how it treats its weakest. Listening to you, it's no wonder half the world wants the US burned off the map. I hope you're not popular.

[777danzig]

@travissimo78 Lets see, i make $1000 a month working 40+ hours a week, someone on unemployment make over $800. When I see people making just as much money as me without working then it makes me wonder why I should work. The government will provide me with food, health care and money. More people will work less then start living off of the government. When production drops then the government has to start forcing people to work. Government hand outs has to come from somewhere.

[travissimo78]

@777danzig How old are you? 10? Would you rather any money left over from your premiums went to making a billionaire richer, or helping someone who's not as lucky as you?

[777danzig]

@travissimo78 I am 24. With insurance when you pay for it they make a profit so when you get really sick when you get older then they can pay for it as long as you have been on it for a long time. Also, it keeps premiums down for other responsible people who has insurance. Me, a healthy person pays money so insurance is cheap for someone who is sick and when i get sick it is cheap for me. Responsible people helping each other out, not government giving out handouts to lazy people.

[DungbeetleXL5000]

Haha mike... at the end you say to keith, "Please don't leave" sounds familiar. I remember many people asking you not to stop making a difference how you have after sicko.

[travissimo78]

@777danzig... I'm from England where we have a great social health system. There is nothing to worry about. Its great :))))

National insurance. From the people according to their means, for the people according to their need...

[777danzig]

@travissimo78 Then how about the government provides us with healthy food and a house to live in. Things like that prevent bad health. Look at food prices, the unhealthy food is fcheaper then the healthy ones, how about they give us healthy food and treadmills for us to jog on while we stay home and watch the kids. If the government provides one thing then why not another need in life. I have a solution, it is we solve our own problems and help others we know will help us, not be forced to help.

[magicpet]

Michael Moore points out Obama's flaws immediately. Will the Republicans ever hold Bush accountable? Never. It's always "attack, attack, attack" with them.

[777danzig]

@magicpet They did, why do you think so many of them got voted out? I didn't vot republicans but at least they can admit their mistake and fix them. Democrats keep sending in the same idiots in office and keep having the same problems. Look at California for example.

[wilsonspaulding]

Two peas in a pod....."Imagine Whirrled Peas".

[wilsonspaulding]

Did Michael Moore do the McDonalds documentary where he ate a Big Mac every day and ruined his health? He didn't need to take it so seriously....

[MartinGist]

Sadly no sign yet that Obama is any mood to stand up to anybody. At least we ordinary citizens can continue to speak. So far. Thanks Mr. Moore and Mr. Olbermann!

[planetcave]

Hey fat boy, the people are funding your boys removal. It's a grass root movement that is sweeping the nation. I know that it's hard to fathom in your partisan mind but your boy in the White House is doing one screwed up job in every facet of it. Just more of Moore's predictable babble, he's looking more and more like a beached whale.

[Vampyrkat]

@planetcave Your partisan pea-brain won't even allow you to listen to the content of this clip. Talk about predictable babble.

[planetcave]

@Vampyrkat I heard fat boy out i.e. I listened to the entire clip. It's the same old shit from Moore - bashing people in a position of power. Unless you or fat boy or anybody else are actually in their shoes, then you don't know what you're talking about. Btw, tell fat boy aka M. Moore that Volcker is a Democrat and became Chairman of the FED under Carter. After Carter led the U.S. into the only period of hyper-inflation through failed wage/price freezes, Volcker came in to jack up rates.

[dunkelfier]

Michael, are you SERIOUS?! It wasn' the greed of the banks that made them make risky loans, it was one of the policies in the Community Reinvestment Act that Clinton signed in1995 in order to 'make housing more readily availible in rural and inner-city communiies'. It wasn't DEREGULATION that caused the problems, it was REGULATION.

[Databug13]

@dunkelfier It was both.

If mortgage companies were forced to give out all these loans that did, why did only some of the mortgage companies go bankrupt? Because some gave out WAY WAY more than they were required to by this law, for the immediate tax break you got for giving them out.

While the argument the CRA was bad is a valid one, the argument that greed played no part in it, is retarded.

[dunkelfier]

@Databug13 Well, you just admitted there was a regulation that basically rewarded the banks for giving out faulty loans.

[TitoIsTheGreatest]

@dunkelfier Please can you whip out that policy you are talking about and send it to me, I wanna read a bit on it?! A link or something...

[ho2cultcha]

the only thing 'new' about teabaggers is that it's the first batch of republicans which don't have videos of themselves supporting bush.

[djverhulst]

Michael is right

[lildwayne21]

niney percent of MSNBC's shows speak to middle class Americans struggling to get by, which is why I watch them more than any other cable news network.

[Ventorez]

Oh no olberman is gone nothing was lost oh look hes back nothing was gained

[pdxdanpdx]

"Who was responsible for these two wars?" ---Michael Moore

Are you seriously claiming that President Bush caused 9/11 or that he formed an alliance between the Taliban and Al-Qaeda?

President Bush is no more responsible for the crimes of Al-Qaeda than he is responsible for their alliance with the Taliban. Say what you will about the Iraq war, but the Afghanistan war was just. Al-Qaeda Started the war and we will end it..on our terms

[aubreyfarmer]

What we have here is the controlled opposition dishing out the bullshi* so the brainwashed masses continue to do nothing. Jews make up 2% of the population and yet 48% of the billionaires in America are Jews. All the major banks, movie studios, media, gay rights organizations, Wall Street and every administration going as far back as JFK have been controlled by Jews. Does pointing out these facts make me anti Semitic? If I say that white guy stole your car does that make me anti white?

[thugoross]

@aubreyfarmer So is the the NAACP also controlled by Jews?? Where does it end... I'm sorry but the fact that you are even thinking like means you are a racist... And I apologize for using a word that is probably being thrown around too much of late. But if the shoe fits....

[PatchesRips]

Thank God Keith's back. :)

[lildwayne21]

@PatchesRips Amen

[RyokoX37]

democracy will only last so long as the people dont realize they have been bought with their own money.

POPULATI0N C0NTR0L 

[c21hustle]

Gotta love Michael Moore, he speaks the truth

[777danzig]

@c21hustle What is there to love, he runs his mouth about these "great" things this government should do like create jobs, provide health care, control businesses but fails to realize that all of those ideas has to cost someone and they mostly cost the hard working responsible people like me that he claims he represents. If Moore was to actually work for once in his life or attend college, or do both then he would be tooting a different horn when he found out how hard it really is.

[c21hustle]

@777danzig youre not the only one who works, I pay my taxes just like everyone else and I would have no problem paying taxes for something like that because if you can get insurance from the govermant like a public option, I wouldnt pay my privatize insurance which would be a huge relief, people who complain about wanting to have socialize medicine is because they know how hard it is and most of all expensive

[777danzig]

@c21hustle Any kind of government run health care is unfair to individuals that actually work hard, save money, buy insurance, but most of all, live a healthy life. I am not a health freak, but I do maintain a healthy lifestyle with eating right and jogging. It wouldn't be fair if I am paying for someone's health care when they are lazy. Also, affordable insurance is out there, I know people with cancer who have affordable care, you just need to look for it and be smart with money.

[777danzig]

@c21hustle Also, it comes down to when does the government stop? First they give out health care how about they give out homes and healthy food? If you have a roof over your head and healthy food you won't get sick to begin with. How about they give out cars. This past Christmas I was digging my car out of snow during a storm, a car with bad tires, a transmission that won't go into reverse, and a bad heater. I was digging it out so I could drive to work at 4 the next morning.....

[777danzig]

@c21hustle ....So I can work and pay taxes. How come the government doesn't provide me with a reliable car and dig my car out? I am doing something that is actually productive and pay taxes. If the government is going to provide one thing why not another? The government is there to provide things in a fair way we all can use but are to big to control ourselves like roads, or law enforcement. Health care has so many variables to it that it shouldn't be control by the government but ran by us.

[c21hustle]

@777danzig hey dont get to ahead, car is a luxury item becasue there are other ways to transport yourself, Bus, Train, walking, Bike etc.... all we need is a public option thats it, meaning we still have to pay but we would be better insured and thats only a option not a must, but hey if you think the sytem is fine the way it is good for you,  what the heck would you do, all I hear is whining but no solution so tell me?

[777danzig]

@c21hustle I live in small town, we have no bus system or taxi or train. It is a 10 minute drive to work. I do ride my bike the summer but in the winter, at 20 degrees in snow at 4 in the morning I really can't walk or ride a bike or find a ride. A car is needed then for me to get to work. And if the government has the public option how about they just sell cars and food and home, etc. How about they run everything and tell us where to work. It isn't the government's job to run businesses.

[c21hustle]

@777danzig now youre talking about comunism, which people forget this is a democracy, its a public option if you want it you can get it, if you dont want it you dont have to get it. simple as that, same applies to the public health option

[777danzig]

@c21hustle Any time the government starts giving out options like health care then it becomes communism. In a democracy it isn't the governments job to give out health insurance, it is the private sector's job. Example of an democracy, the government clears the roads of snow so everyone can drive on it, but we clear our own driveway. The government runs things to keep this country together like police, roads, army, currency. The private sector, controlled by us, takes care of the rest.

[c21hustle]

@777danzig so let me get this straigth after all the mess the Private sector has done you still believe they should deregualed, a public option is just a option simple as that, comnusim is when 1 party orders you to everything, we have multiple parties, we have the right to vote, protest and speak out against anyone like we are doing now... we are not comunist or on the road to comunism, assuming that is pretty ignorant

[777danzig]

@c21hustle We control the private sector. If we don't like a company we go someplace else, we have options, and the responsible people and the ones who succeed. When the government calls the shot they start buying votes. They start giving out handouts to those "in need" when really it is those that are lazy or their friends. They may say option but really it is given to the ones who voted for them. With the private sector I at least know that for the most part people get what they deserve.

[c21hustle]

@777danzig well not all can can afford from the private sector and its not because were lazy americans its because its to expensive, the private sector has been buying politicians since the begining of time how is that different from the gvt buying votes, Im all for Capitalist but I dont like Corporatism, in the current world its no longer capitalist its corporatism, healthcare insurance controls our healthcare do you trust your life to corporations who think profits over human life?

[psychosinners]

@777danzig The DOT, fire departments, police, postal service-all socialist programs that work. Taxes & government should be able to provide any basic necessity of quality living that a citizen needs, including quality healthcare, proper schools, college/trade school, etc. The private sector is looking to do one thing, make profit. If it's profitable to let a cancer patient die by denying their treatments, they will do so. Straight free enterprise fails those who can't afford to play their game.

[777danzig]

@psychosinners The government should provide things that helps out the people fairly, especially responsible people. Police protects the innocent, schools help progress our country, fire departments stop accidental fires. Hospitals can't deny someone if they are in an accident. If someone starts a fire though, they are placed in prison, if we have socialize health care than anyone overweight should be placed in prison, it is only fair.

[777danzig]

@psychosinners With the private sector people control there own lives and basically effect only themselves. Companies need to make profits, they need to live also, but they also create jobs and they don't let their clients just die, if they did that then there will be no one to aid in the flow of money, same if no one had jobs. When the government gets involve one of two things happen, either responsible people get screwed, or they control our lives. With the private sector we have freedom.

[777danzig]

@psychosinners And also, it comes down to if the government is going to give out "needs" like health care, then why not give out healthy food so we can prevent bad health to begin with? Most people can only afford unhealthy food, why not give healthy food away? How about we make regulations like workers only work 20 hours a week but still get paid the same? Less time on their feet/office so less knee problems/sitting around getting fat. If we did that did nothing would get done.

[jeff19652]

Tell it like it is Michael

[RoonGang09]

This country will go through hell aka depression before things ever begin to get right here and we very well deserve it.

[KhyronDesintegrado]

BUSH IS A DRUNK FUCKING LIAR WHO DESERVES TO BE FUCK IN THE ASS WITH A HUSE DILDO!

[AudiophileTubes]

Olbermann is a beacon of truth and honesty. A true, bona fide American PATRIOT!

[HUJUism]

Without Michael I would really loose all faith in human kind.

[muratshawn]

@HUJUism well said, lets not forget Olbermann....this man is one of the most honest and most sense making news man on national US tv today.....respect both!!!!

[mediacritic]

@HUJUism

I agree. He's still one of the greats.

[HUMANTORCH38]

thank god Olberman is back in MSNBC

[TimMiddleton]

@HUMANTORCH38 From the other side of the Atlantic, may I say how much I absolutely agree with you. God bless.

[darkknight302]

@HUMANTORCH38 was he gone? what did i miss?

[MarkusW1983]

Bush Jr. is a war criminal and should end like Milosevic.

[tycomeagain222]

George W. Bush is a fuckin psychopath. Michael Moore is a fuckin hero. Sorry Jon Stewart but playing the middle is just as wrong as playing the right. FREEDOM!

[sagemakaiserxl]

Imagine a kid saying, "When I become president it will be on the blood money and human misery of the corporations that funded me to get into office. I will be a glorified puppet that will feed my ego. I can't be bothered for even a second to care. I will trample those below me for my corporate masters with a sense of honor and pride as I write my self serving book that will sell millions of copies to the weak sheep that I trampled."

[soccerdude601]

I know they postponed the interview until after the elections. They know people would NOT have voted in republicans. This is a dumb ass country.

[nickanon]

Only more proof of why the Republicans are BIG, %$#@$%, A**HOLES!

[parkt6792]

@nickanon you can say 'obnoxious', you can say 'partisan', but - 'hack'?

it is very obvious that he is not a 'hack', in fact, that he has a vast knowledge of that which he speaks of - namely,the political position of the American left. He is in the upper echelons of this particular political point of view,so much so that he speaks of it on a nation-wide cable news television show that people numbering in the hundreds of thousands, millions, watch. your use of the word 'hack', makes you a 'hack'

[llyynncollnn1]

I do NOT support Olbermann, I think he is a obnoxious partisan hack. That said I am glad his suspension was brief and he has his job back. Although I disagree with him most of the time and think he should have been more transparent about his donations I'm glad he didn't lose his job over this.(Now he can get back to getting his butt kicked by FOX)

[clichy]

Michael Moore needs a history lesson. Volcker wasn't Reagan's man, he was appointed as head of the Federal Reserve by Jimmy Carter. Granted, he served throughout the Reagan presidency until his 7 year term, which Reagan couldn't have ended, was over, and then Reagan appointed Alan Greenspan.

[lol998]

@clichy But he was reappointed by Reagan. and not out until 1987.

[clichy]

@lol998 My point was that Moore tends overlook the sins committed by Democrats, such as "impeachment is off the table" which is the real reason the Democrats did so crappy in the recent elections.

[moestietabarnak]

@clichy don`t be a one trick pony. like those that put all the wrong on just the fed.

There the missed impeachement of bush, but there also the weak healthcare reform, weak finance reform, the capitulation against the "Hell no" obstructionist party etc..

[000PermaRev000]

END THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF RIGHT CENTRIST GOOFS - Form a new party left and bleed the Dems of all their support on the left. Let the rest of em run to the GOP where they belong

[swampscrapper]

"....and then charge you for using those boots" (the ones that kicked you while you were down). Great line.

[harshanamanju]

he is so handsom and single but he is a father naneedj.info

[navtel]

bush one and two, pieces of crap one and two, obama now neck and neck with slick willy.. america sure knows how to chose em'.. palin, mccain 2012, kill me now.

[llothar68]

Why is Moore still hoping for the Democrats?

He should work his butt off to start and promote a third party.

FUCK OBAMA and all this Obama Zombie pseudo leftists.

Ralph Nader + Jesse Ventura 2012

[madebutante]

@llothar68 And Cynthia McKinney and Cindy Sheehan!

[metorphoric]

@llothar68

Nader? No

Ventura: Possibly. The more I hear him speak on issues, the more I like him.

[llothar68]

@metorphoric

Unfortunately Ventura is the same anti collective guy as many tea partiers. Thats why he is only as a Vice President on my list. Nader first.

[solimiansky]

KOCH BROS. INDUSTRIES

[shipmaker14]

@solimiansky ...And not the good kind either!

[arevsteffen]

yeaaa my friend...

[Cocheese45]

really? bush trashed moore in his book? what'd he say about him? i don't really think bush is in a position to judge anybody.

[tylertyler82]

The "Tea Party" aka Koch Industries is too busy distracting the country from rising up and hanging these bastards by their feet!

[JimboTHC]

All this angst towards Tea Partiers is ridiculous. It's not Palin whackos. To much mainstream media makes people believe that bull.

- Most - of the Tea party movement are anti-War civil libertarians, you know that constitutional stuff Obama ran on, but jettisoned 10 minutes after getting elected on his way to re-knew the patriot act, FISA and expand the war?

I'm involved in my local Tea party and Ralph Nader would be far more welcome than Sarah Palin would be.

[tylertyler82]

@JimboTHC it's very sad that the tea party has been hi- jacked by Palin-Koch industries, if what you say is true.

[JimboTHC]

@tylertyler82 The original Tea Party started on Guy Fawkes day 2007 with the Ron Paul money bomb.

They can try hi-jacking all they want if the votes aren't there it wont matter.

[Gamdursol]

@JimboTHC I find your perspective very interesting. I have had the impression that you Tea Partiers are not the same, nor almost the same, as the Christian right base, whose agenda is basically anti gay (marriage) and pro life. I have also had the impression that the majority of you are not Sarah Palin fans. Your focus from the start, unless I am getting this wrong, has been as a voice against the big financial institutions that crashed the financial system, and then came begging for a handout.

[Gamdursol]

@JimboTHC What I personally don't understand about that, is how you reconcile that with anti-Democrat and pro Fox News? The memebers of the Democratic Party may have partially sold out to the corporations, but the Republicans have done so almost completely. And Fox News seem intent on skewing the images of the day in a direction that clearly favors the rich, the republicans and the corporations.

[JimboTHC]

@Gamdursol I don't think FOX news has been that supportive but honestly I don't watch it or any big media other than snippets on youtube.

Karl Rove complained how the tea party was ruining "Better" republican's chances. & they've treated Ron Paul like garbage because he's anti-war/anti-patriot act.

They focus on the Palin types so they don't have to cover the libertarian aspects.

And as far as hating Dems, what's not to hate? Moore gave a pretty good list in this interview of why I do.

[shipmaker14]

Why don't crazy militia -type "Patriots" go try and assassinate those Wall st. Gordan Gecko types, rather than guys like Michael Moore; a person who ironically has a lot in common with Tea Partiers, (who just don't realize it).

[JimboTHC]

@shipmaker14 They realize it, the media likes painting the Tea party as the palin wing when in fact it's the Ron Paul wing.

I don't like where the tea party is going but it's inception was a libertarian movement as opposed to a religious "i'm talking to god" movement.

[shipmaker14]

@JimboTHC I'll agree with you on that.

I'm no fan of the Tea Party, but yeah, better than the bullshit "Moral Majority" push of yester-year, (which was neither moral, nor majority).

I prefer Ron to his Son though.

[JimboTHC]

@shipmaker14 I'm not sold on Rand yet either.

I'd prefer it if he never read a bill and his dad phone in his votes.

In fairness his Dads been been at this 30 years now so he might come around.

[Jensagirl]

Good to see Keith back. I like his show

[jeremytran10]
