So, please, don't call KO a shill, as he's seriously one of the most honest people in news. You'll just expose your ignorance.
Btw, I apologize and please forgive me for my tone just now. I just read a second ago that you voted for Obama, and are genuinely confused as to why things aren't better, but I'm just sooooo used to SO MANY GOD DAMN IGNORANT, BRAIN-WASHED, FOX-NEWS BELIEVING, REPUBLICAN *MORONS* attacking KO for their perception (no doubtedly given to them by Fox Lies) of him
But my! That doesn't seem like a shill at all! That just seems like a man WITH ACTUAL PRINCIPLES, MORALS, AND ETHICS, and _good_ ones at that! After all, just because he calls out bullshit in the news, and that the Republicans do WAY more bullshit than the Democrats do, doesn't mean he's just being partisan when the list of Republican bullshit outnumbers the list of Democratic bullshit BY SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNATUDE!
...this time about the corporate censorship @ *MSNBC*!
So of all the pieces on that 1st episode, he went after Obama over Lybia, McCain for claiming immigrants sontaneously combust, Rush Limbsugh for outright admitting that he sells his political opinions to the highest bidder, and MSNBC for censorship. Looks balanced to me!
In fact, he attacks Obama and the Democrats just as much, IF NOT MORE than he does Republicans/conservatives!
In fact, if you wanna see Keith verbally kick a Democrat's ass...HARD, just watch the 1st episode of his new show! I mean, The VERY 1st piece on that show was a DEVASTATING report w/guest Michael Moore BOTH of them attacking President Obama over Lybia, and the very LAST story on that same debut show was another DEVASTATING piece, this time about the corporate censorship @ *MS
First of all, true liberals and Progressives, Olbermann included, absolutely LOATHE the Democratic party! They are at best, unfortunate allies and at worst, pussies or traitors to the cause. Only the Republican Party do we hate worse!
So no, KO is NOT a Democratic shill, *rolls eyes* rather, he is a brilliant, award-winning newscaster with a high IQ who calls out bullshit where he sees it, holds and shares Progressive American values, and identifies himself as a Progressive. In fact,
Wow, dude...very nice way of demonstrating your point to that poor, right-wing-brainwashed soul! Very nice! Couldn't've said it better myself! Lol. (So I won't even try. Lol. I had a few more pages of comments to post, but fuck it.)

Wow...you really are ignorant, aren't you? Alright, let's finally set this straight (for those...duller conservatives in the audience)! Keith Olbermann is NOT a shill for the Democratic party, and if you actually think he is, and that politics in the US are really that stupidly simple, then I'm sorry, you have absolutely NO idea of how the American political machine really works!
Did the few who made the claim that Keith Olbermann is a liar or shill or whatever name they want to call him actually watch the entire Special Comment?
I mean, hate the man all you want... but at least listen to what he is saying and take the time to actually learn something.
What are you so afraid of by not wacthing? That your brain may not be strong enough to handle the truth?
That you might be brainwashed into fighting for yourself and not that of the insurance industry?
My medical insurance just went up last month by 6% and the new great Health Plan hasn't even taken effect. I'm just tired of Keith & hardly watch him anymore. He is as biased to the left as asshole Limbaugh is to the right. Neither of these prick parties has the answers & anyone that believes that there is ONLY one good & honest party is so so full of shit. Hey Keith, maybe you and pulitzer prize winning chuckler Eugene could maybe 1 time criticize the Obama administration? Just once? C'mon
Look If we could afford giving banks billions cause they screwed up, we can afford whatever improves our health system no matter what the initial cost is. So let the experts stand up and vote...oh thats right the US doesnt use specialized experts to vote like in Europe, they use generalist politiians reporting what theyr 'angry fanatical representatives yell at them". I forgot.
llxWOLFxII, seriously.Explain the bill that they came up with and it's benifits for me.I voted for Obama but he didn't seem to have much to do with this bill.I do not like Pelosi or Reid and do not trust any side that has lawyers,lobbyists,or politicians making their tons of money.Explain to me why this bill should have passed? also, give me details of it as far as expenditure,who's covered etc.I was for the public option and they sold that off didn't they?
Keith....you speak, you fart...no difference as far as I can tell.......crap headed gerbil stuffer wants all gerbils to get government health care after he removes them one by one from his arse...fool
when they see, they dont see, when they hear, they dont hear. Even when people can see everything right from wrong they tend to ignore it because they tend or let their ideology or for that matter their party affiliation make their decision for them. The Choice is clear people what Obama is doing is help ppl with no insurance get insurance period. And if u do have one what he is trying to do is make it affordable. But it is clear the insurance companies dont want that or the politicians they pay
It's because his Dad was sick and he's as much a flaming liberal as limbaugh is a flaming Republican. They're both full of crap although the health plan is cheaper than invading countries and nation building.
@rleary1 Uhmm he was a Democrat long before his dad was sick buddy...why not get your facts straight before you smack on people....Without Health Care as a right..you go to a hospital for over 3 months and you got a $500,000 bill on your ass...You want to pay it?
I'm just sick of Olberman pompous attitude.I'm liked him when he had a crusade against Bush but now he's a kiss ass and even supported firing Don Imus. My problem with the healthcare bill is nobody ever explained it.Seriously, I tried to find out all about it & never could.I pay out the butt for insurance for me and my kids but I'm a Dad and get nothing.I have a feeling that free healthcare will be for 'Mom's just like welfare.Mom's do not deserve any freebies for opening their legs.
@rleary1, neither Republicans NOR Democrats will fix healthcare. The problems are created by both parties.
They can only be fixed if they get out of the way and let Doctors and patients to work together without Government and insurance companies dictating fees and regulations.
Obamacare will make things much much worse.

NookulerFreedom: It is painfully obvious via both your username and the comment you left, that you contain neither the intelligence nor the rationality needed to come to a sane debate.
The fact that you dare show your low IQ, so eagerly, so proudly amoungst those who actually have the intelligence you lack... is one that would amaze even the most cynical amoung us.
Your opinion, quite frankly, is not valid until you have the ability to reason in a sane fashion, something you seem to lack.
He said "even though its not literally TRUE" That is not simplifying, Literally means truly. So even though its not truly true, say it anyway. How is that not lying?
To put it even more simply, to call a piece of metal that's been sharpened to a point to hold two pieces of material together, a "Nail", is not 'literally true'.
It's a word we use to define a concept most English speakers understand.
So while "The Public Option" has the same conceptual definition as "Medicare For All", more people understand the latter than do the former.
And for all you conservatives who get 'sick' listening to this, just answer the question...when the bell tolls for you, will you have coverage? Or would you have lost it because of a job change, or relocation, or would you be denied coverage for a loop hole anyway.
God forbid you get sick, and for those who get really sick, be prepared to give up everything you've worked for and given your life to. Your guardian has become a slave monger.

Ok, he said, Medicare for everyone. It may not be literally true but its reassuring". So a lie is ok if it makes people feel better? What a tool! Olberman makes me want to puke.
Part me of me wants someone you love to go through what Keith did with his dad, or what his childhood friend went through with his daughter, so you can understand it firsthand.
But I can't in all conscience wish this shit on anyone.
"Just as "global warming" is really "bad climate change," "The Public Option" is in broad essence "Medicare For Everybody.""
That *IS* the essence of the story. It's not a lie to say the intent of 'The Public Option' is, essentially, 'Medicare For All'. That is, indeed, the desire for most sane people.

Supporting the delivery of healthcare to every American is such a burden - of course delivery techniques will need to be adjusted.
Yet you don't offer any concrete analysis, let alone evidence that it will. Empty rhetoric dear sir.

The essence, the spirit, of the argument changes only in that the people can finally understand the true intent of this part of health care reform.
Simplifying the wording so people can understand the true argument is no more lying than high school biology is false.
The fact that you think Olbermann says it's ok to lie... just shows how far gone your logic is.
