Keith Olbermann: Sean Hannity Interview with Dick Cheney

[Patrick5009]

This man is a war criminal. Does he not understand that u must treat your prisoners as u would hope and expect your own troops would be treated if captured.

[BaphometReign]

I'm honestly not against torturing terrorists but I am against the fact our government lied about it. This is why I'm neither a leftist or right because they're both 2 extremes going too far on one side or the other. I'd say I'm in the middle. I will say I'm against the paranoid conservatives though. Ya know, the ones that want to do a commie witch hunt and whoever isn't a white christian american is a socialist, commie, terrorist antichrist? Those fuckers need to be shot, but that's just me

[Mccnuget]

No offence, but i really hate people who prance around saying they are niether left nor right.

Either you don't have an opinion, or your left or right.

All issues either come down to pro or con.

Everyone who wants the praise of being of modest opinion is left wing, but recognise that the tangibility of most of their arguments are ridiculous.

You agree with torturing terrorists, but find a small reason to be outwardly con?

Liberal nonsense.

[BaphometReign]

You're a perfect example of why I didn't choose one side. I almost chose to be a con, but it's the mentality if "you're not one of us, you're a damn Liberal" I just look at something as big as politics and see one side full of liberal, tree-hugging, politically correct michael moore lovers, then there's the god fearing, war mongers that are pretty intolerant. I see that and say to myself, that can't be the only 2 options I have

[Mccnuget]

Yeah, see what your looking at isn't politics, its a television. Try and remember the difference especially when your soul-searching for a group to stand with.

Those extremities don't really exist in politics, they are flamboyant personalities for television. Sometimes demographics to be pandered to in elections.

Ideology, belief, principles, those things make up political discussion, and it has to be A or B. Hence why all political bodies will eventually become two party based.

[Mccnuget]

What you say as "not choosing a side", isn't politics.

Its fools trying to wear political opinions like gothic and emo outfits. Its all image.

Everyone is trying to garner new forms of "Individuality", yours is the most common since comedy personalities started getting more political.

And the "With us, or against us" is true. For both sides, you either agree or disagree on an issue.

But its not animosity, it is politics.

So wipe your tears and put your hand up as the liberal you are.

[BaphometReign]

I know what you mean with political opinions being used as some type of image rather than an actual thought process, that's why I have a hard time choosing, I will say I do tend to side with Libertarians though, I agree with alot of cons and some libs, but both have strong opinions on some issues I just can't stand by.

[Mccnuget]

And there lies the difference between political passion and political apathy.

[BaphometReign]

whatever you wanna call it, just because I don't choose one side over 2, doesn't mean I don't have an opinion, so don't be a choice nazi

[Mccnuget]

No i can tell, by your use of the word "Baphometreign" and "nazi".

Its not about sides, as i said before, its about ideology. You are either pro or con, an issue, and if you drag yourself away from computer games long enough, you will work out whether you are con or pro on most issues, and which ideology you fall on.

Waving your arms about declaring your beyond both factions is the tedious norm of most generic geeks.

"Spoilt with choice" i think they call it.

[BaphometReign]

Well, even if I choose for the sake of choosing an ideology, it's still choosing a side with pre-selected ideas and I don't like that. I don't like games when it comes to serious stuff, like, I dunno, running the country. And to me the whole left vs right is some game just to have people argue, I'd like to think as a whole country we could all get together and compromise on what's best instead of reading the headlines "Bush caused 9/11" or "Obama is a terrorist" what kind of propaganda is that?

[rsolgtp]

i think you are more switched on by this wing-nut.

I personally think that "left vs right" is merely like wrestling. at The end of the day its how many tickets you sell not who wins the game. And for all the bitter hatred displayed by politicians, you can see they are all chummy once its over. the real trick for you not to fall for. is "i have no side so...why vote?" I think that is exactly why it is displayed to us as it is. every vote you throw away gives a zealot a greater say:) vote

[BaphometReign]

I agree, you're right. I know there are other people with the teenage angst type of mentality of "if it's government, it's bad no matter which side" - So I don't mean to come off like that, but I'm just so tired of the way both parties have become, there are politicians from both parties that I really like...and really can't stand

[snakeweirdo]

Politically correct? Are you really talking about Michael Moore? Have you seen his last movie?

[Relugus]

Bush jeopardised national security by plunging the country into debt and giving massive welfare handouts to the likes of Halliburton and his oil and banker friends.

Look how Bush said he was against welfare yet handed out taxpayer dough like candy to his buddies.

[btech7]

And Obama has top that, so now what do we do?

[kmillard]

Listeningto Olbermann and Rachel Maddow makes me realize that they waterboarded the wrong people.

[NobbyOlder]

WE WERE ATTACKED WHEN BUSH AND CHENEY WERE IN OFFICE!

Maybe they should have been tougher on people getting on planes with BOX CUTTERS!

[jensen220]

NobbyOlder:

That's not really fair, because the policies that let the terrorists get on the planes were in effect before Bush took office. The problem was that America has always been a REactionist country, not doing anyhting until something happened to us. After 9/11, Bush made us a PROactionist country, and the left/Dems slayed him for it.

[98DevilDog79]

I feel so sorry for all those waterboarded terrorits. Good thing Olbermann's looking out for the 911 conspiritors (the terrorits waterboarded 80 some odd times...) Simply amazing our country still exists.

[bigbad169]

NFW

[topthickproducer]

And I am sure you will run wildly if Cheney warns you of any danger. Grow up and be a real man. Remember GIVE ME LIBERTY or DEATH.

[mdpa2112]

making the high value detainee watch Olberman just 8 or 9 times would be way more effective than waterboarding.

[bigbad169]

Keith is the best advertisement for FOX ever. Even he shows clips from FOX. If MSNBC wants to compete with FOX it should give a ton of money to Rush Limbaugh and Mike Savage and their rating will catch FOX in 6 months. Their never is any honest discourse on Keith's show. he never will let an intelligent debate take place on his show, FOX has good arguments , debates during their shows. Jack Rice has a radio show that no-one listens to, why? he's so out of touch with the American Public.

[leykisfan1]

give s a break, The "debate" that takes place on shows like Oreilly and Rush are a joke. If you dont agree with these guys you are wrong. The yell and get really loud. All the spout is opinion, not facts. BTW, if these guys were in touch with the American Public, why are their ratings falling and why did their candidate get his ass kicked in the last election?

[bigbad169]

True but at least they let someone with a different opinion on to get yelled at. Keith won't let anyone on at all that would disagree with him. The last book out in march has Fox ahead of CNN, MSNBC and HNL combined with Billo beating keith and maddow and all their reruns combined. facts are facts. Fox kicks their ass. McCain wasn't their candidate by a long shot. Obama won because Bush turned out to be a total fuc-up. Obama now is making Bush look like a Rhodes scholar. Gonna be a quick 4 years

[carlyonbeachfire]

If you think Obama makes bush look like a Rhodes scholar, you are a true fuck up. End of story.

[bigbad169]

If you think OBama is making smart moves please take his muslim cock out of your mouth and wake up. End of discussion.

[carlyonbeachfire]

It's pretty funny when someone refers to "Muslim" in a derogatory way. Like it's evil, It's very ignorant, and it doesn't surprise me that you would say that. Just like the people in the middle east who condemn Christianity who are full of shit. I'm not religious and although wearing thin, I still practice patience for all of you retards. Please use reason and not emotion, you'll find freedom there.

[bigbad169]

Muslims in the middle east who condemn Christianity want to convert the Christians or behead them all and kill them. It doesn't surprise me that a Liberal like yourself would defend the person who wants to kill you because your not a muslim. Keep excercising your right to be stupid and we'll protect you from those who want to kill you. Use street smarts and common sense and say thank you for educating you and move on. Christians pray for muslims, Muslims want to murder christians. Liberal fool.

[carlyonbeachfire]

Christians pray for Muslims? Hahahaha... look up the Crusades. Christians killed Muslims for hundreds of years. Do you understand? Take a moment and let it sink in. They killed in the name of religion. Just like these abysmal Muslim extremists. They were more Christian than anybody of today. Those people lived and died Christianity. And where the hell did I defend the person who wants to kill me? God you're stupid, but I think we both know that, and I'm not a Liberal you moron.

[bigbad169]

Muslims were overrunning France and killing by the thousands and the French church asked for Rome's help. The pope sent soldiers to fight the Muslims who mantra was convert or die. You don't see the difference, why, your an idiot emo liberal. They did not live and die christianity. they were farmers and workers promised heaven if they fought for the pope. I have to tie 1/2 my brain behind my back to make a debate fair with you. You think Bush caused the crusades. Keep defending terrorist, emo.

[SkJ2022]

seriously...what is wrong with being muslim....im not muslim but it annoys the fuck outta me when people talk about obamas religious beliefs and practices and make it sound like its a bad thing

[talkingpie99]

That's because Keith tells it like it is and those who disagree with him are just wrong. Fact.

Also, another thing you fail to realize is that ratings do not reflect quality. No different from a box office hit like DaVinci Code that few people like.

[bigbad169]

if it was a box office hit people liked it. Liberalism really is a mental disorder. The thing about Keith is that he bases his show on what FOX is doing and he has a bunch of guest that are just yes men. never a slight disagreement. Rasmussen media center claims Keith references FOX 98% of the time on his show. Obama is playing it cool letting Pelosi lie her way out of office. Brilliant. Keeping gitmo open, brilliant, tribunals at gitmo , brilliant. The Emo liberals are crying now.

[kmillard]

What??? You don't believe that Conservatism is the mental disorder????? Didn't you hear Jeanine Garofalo's dissertation on the "Lymbic Brain" of conservatives to discover how our synapses aren't firing correctly??

[bigbad169]

I'll wait till Fox talks about the "Lymbic Brain" because then Keith will watch Fox and talk about it on his show. Then i can see what's on Fox by watching Keith and learn the real deal about Garafalo's dissertation. If anyone misses the O'Reilly show just watch Keith or Mandow's show and they will recap it for you.

[trink968]

You cannot be serious? This guy is the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen in the media.

[jensen220]

talkingpole99:

As I said on another string, how can you tell he's telling it like it is when you never get an opposing view on his show? He gives you one side, and then what? What rational person can watch that and say "Oh yeah, that's the truth" wihtout hearing both sides?

As far as ratings, people find out once they buy their ticket whether the movie is good or bad, then it's too late. TV ratings show the people that bought their ticket, but then switched to a better show.

[98DevilDog79]

Your right, commentatry shows like O'rielly and Hannity are a joke, but they openly acknowledge that they are commentators, and not news reporters. What should piss you off even more is that MSNBC, CNN, and other "news" stations claim to have reporters that sound no different in offering an opionion (no one but liberals give a shit about) to everyone instead of simply reporting the news. How about you show some damn objectivity and critique Olbermann as well?

[NookulerFreedom]

Best reporter on MSM.

Now lets dance.....
