@tjohn1986 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
Wow...you are the biggest, closed-minded dumb-ass I ever came across. I can't believe you actually think Bush and Palin ARE educated....wow, go back to your trailer and suck on the dicks you so secretly long for....
He describes the Tea Party movement like the Sturmabteilung (yes, I'm going there), and describes a Night of Long Knives in their future. I hope we don't come to that point.
He's a socialist....Loved him at ESPN. But he went from Joe Six-Pack to Joe Stalin very quickly! He's good....and I admire his talent, but he certainly sold his soul for a huge paycheck. And that's OK. Actually it's great. That's what's capitalism is all about.
The funny thing is, the very idea (concept) of capitalism, that he rails against nightly, is exactly why he is making millions of dollars a year.
If he is as smart as everyone says, maybe he answers that ironic situation on his show.
@Flyyyy ...tuned in to some sporting event awhile ago (NBC), and for some reason Olbermann was one of the commentators. I turned it off immediately. I refuse to listen to this sanctimonious Collectivist ass in any sporting context.....I do watch parts of his MSNBS show to see what he feeds his gullible admirers....you'd think that no Mob Union money or wealthy elitist Utopian money (Soros,etc/) comes to "progressives". You know--Progressives--the ones with all the failed Collectivist ideas.
You're obviously a corporation supporter and for the destruction of our US Constitution and for the rights and power of the American people! Most importantly...you are a MORON!
What do you expect from lawless men? Six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Roman Catholic, whose religion has chosen to expunge Two of the Ten Commandments: the 2nd and the 4th. And these justices stand under the auspices of the most powerful and unrepentant religion of Earth. This nation has allowed them to determine the supreme law for the American people, while these supreme justices, who live in open sin, stand morally unfit to lead their own lives, let alone the lives of others.
Since our government is, in fact, our national service staff, no elected or appointed official, or government employee has the right to express personal opinions on religion, race or any subject other than that directly involved with the performance of their clearly-described and assigned duties. Pink slips can be printed much faster than paper money. Something good and something huge is happening.
Murder of Democracy??? Great now we can have representational government again! Thats called a Republic... where people have the power.... whether Black, White, Asian, Latin, even penguins! You see keith... I included even you!
History already shows gross negligence to campaign finance rules. Look back at '08. While corporations have no place in political campaigns, you have to keep in mind the super-majority party which passed this law is the SAME ONE that broke every single campaign finance rule. So WAH! Cry in your coffee Olbermann. Does that knife in your back hurt?
For once I thought he was going to just report news rather than whine and bitch Fox. But he's too petty. Blew it at 5:18. LOSER!
"Of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations."
The new Supreme Court decision will allow a corporation to run false attack ads against anyone they wish. That means they can now EXTORT every politician in the U.S. to do whatever they want for profit.
If you think you're getting screwed by health insurance companies, Wall Street, and credit card companies now -- just wait. All consumer protection will be the first to go.
Because the N.Y. Times or conservative newspapers run an editorial is irrelevant. They DON'T run ATTACK ADS on TV.
Any corporation can now tell legislators they'll be the target of relentless attack ads if they vote AGAINST corporate wishes
Credit card & insurance companies, banks & Wall Street can now dictate to legislators & EXTORT any politician in America. If they object, they're on the HIT LIST. They dont even need to do it, just threaten.
@goog2k : The "news" reminds me of Goliath yelling at everybody and scaring the weak-minded ones among us. David handled it then, and a "new and improved" David will come out of seemingly "nowhere" and handle it in America. He's here, he's watching and he's listening. Let the scoffers hoot and holler all they want. It's done. Let's give them something to complain about.
Lt1hillbillie-ho the Clown, I see you're expanding your repertoire. Now you talk about slapping women, thinking with that germ-size brain of yours that you're being funny and laughing at your own shocking stupidity. Well, imbecile, you're not funny. To be funny you'd need to be smart and it's clear to anyone who happens to read you that you cannot stand how stupid you are and like to escape that reality by distorting it with ludicrous interpretations of history and vulgar misogynistic fantasies.

I am a big boy who can read and chew gum at the same time!!!! LOL
Slaves were sold to the White man by the black man. In other words, the black man sold his own kind for money. The blacks who sold the black slaves beat them severely when they were not chosen by the white man to purchase. But you never hear or read about that either. You only hear the liberal history lies spewed out by the likes of this moron olberman. Did anyone know that Alex Hailey's ROOTS story was proven to be fabricated? Again, more liberals hiding that fact too. Do the research.
walldodger: Hate spewing?? Call it what you will. Anytime the actual truth is told about a big liberal lie issue then here comes the clowns out of the woodwork to try and discredit the deliverer of the truth instead of researching and seeing for themselves. Why do you partake of the kool aid? Never mind, don't answer. Anytime a liberal speaks there is no telling what kind of twisted crap will come out. Sir.
Slaves when brought into the state of Virginia in the mid 1600's had accepted conditions attached to them. All slaves after eight years had to be freed and were. Plus after those eight years all slaves when freed were GIVEN fifty acres of land and tobacco seed. 99% of ALL slaves were treated excellent and were considered extended family. Who is going to own something and mistreat it and then expect a good return on their investment when it can't perform? Answer: No one. Those are the facts.
Hm... did I say advertisements have absolutely no effect? Can you read?
When you see an ad for something new, do you drop everything so you can run out and buy it?
Or, if it happens to be something that catches your interest, do you look into whether or not you want it?
"Democracy" relies upon the free exchange of information. What is stupid is the idea that restricting the flow of information will result in people making more informed decisions.
I just saw an ad for a new toaster. Does that mean I have to go out and buy a toaster now?
Advertisements do something: They inform the listener/reader. The idea that allowing companies to speak openly about a candidate will result in people voting however the company demands is just stupid. Most people do not blindly do what they are told...
With all due respect, you're missing the point. Your analogy is flawed. The focus of an ad is narrow. The scope of its influence is limited to its relevance. In other words, you may not go buy a toaster after seeing an ad of one, but you may be more likely to buy the brand you saw on the ad whenever you need to get one. I hope this is is clear.
Your argument still centers around the idea that people will blindly follow what they are told, and only by restricting the flow of information can we insure they don't make a "bad" decision.
The idea that the flow of information must be restricted so that the unwashed masses will arrive at the "right" decision is a very scary principle to employ in any form of "democracy."
@bldgy- right on. This is a basic belief of leftists- that individuals can't think for themselves, and some elite (a la Plato) has to limit the distribution of information for them.
Btw, it is ironic that KO spends so much time denouncing Fox News for their bias given that even if they're indeed biased, no one can deny that they actuallly put people from different sides and let the viewers hear both. Olbermann does not.
I never said anyhting about blindly following anyhting. I don't subscribe to the idea that information must be restricted and I agree that that would be a scary principle but I think I don't see how that is relevant in this discussion. Perhaps you can elaborate.
Actually, unlimited corporate advertising spending, as I see it, is the idea that Corporations want to influence the "unwashed masses" with so much propaganda as to assure that the votes necessary to install their handmaidens are ensured. After all, this system still requires the vote.
Statistically, he with the most campaign cash wins. Putting million$ into disparagement of a candidate can tip those scales. It's called "undue influence." For example, see: Swift Boat PAC + Lies.
@MzProgressive Right, because the unwashed masses blindly follow exactly what they are told.
Oh wait, that is the liberal elitist point of view...
Under such idiotic logic, one could argue that absolutely no one should be allowed to speak freely, else the unwashed masses may listen to the wrong person. But I guess that is the liberal mantra, isn't it: Anyone voicing anything other than liberal ideals should not have a voice...
"Statistically.."
Where are the election stats you are drawing from?
THE cause for the Civil War was the Northern states wanting a piece of the Southern states profits from exports. Unfair taxes were imposed and the Southern states seceded on the grounds of States rights. At the exact start of the Civil War there were more slaves in Massachusetts than in Georgia. Dig into the history of the Civil War and you will uncover the real facts. I've done my research and have been rewarded handsomely for it. Don't be ridiculous dude. If you don't know then learn.
If corporations are considered "individuals" in regards to campaign finance, does that mean they will be held to the same finance restrictions as individuals? If so, each corporation would only be able to give $2400 to a candidate in any given election.
Good luck with that -- most of my 'fellow Americans' don't have the awareness and mental fortitude to even realize how bad this situation will become, let alone act upon it when their 'in the booth'.
Of course, there is a simple solution to all of this.
All voters have to do is vote FOR the guy who has the largest number of negative ads produced about him (or her), because, obviously, his opponent has all the corporate money.
Then, ignore all advertising altogether and get real information from objective journalists writing for outstanding newspapers.
ReliableInsider, that is an excellent plan. Problem is, the "average" i.e. dumb-ass citizen doesn't possess the critical-thinking skills necessary to follow it.
And think, if we all did it, we'd save journalism. And, as an added bonus, America.
I actually think Keith Olbermann is extremely underrated. Who else on television is sounding the alarm bells here? On this and a hundred other issues. Such as torture.
I don't understand how our country fell apart in eight short years. Under Clinton people started saying that the market might just keep on going up and never go down again. We were all giddy.
Actually that's an example of the dumb-ass lack of knowledge I referred to in my previous post. Isn't it what used to be called "General Knowledge" that the stock market ALWAYS goes up then down. Sadly the dumbing-down of society has been so thorough there is no "general knowledge" anymore, only general ignorance.
It's in the best interests of the powers-that-be Mr. Olberman is speaking of to keep the people as ignorant as possible so they can be easily led into giving up all their rights.
When Americans find reliable sources of unbiased information and learn to tune out all campaign ads and all hate radio, then the powers-that-be will be the powers-that-were.
What more proof do people need that Democrats and Republicans are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Republicans are ecstatic that corporations will be given human rights and that the "human rights" of corporations will be put ahead of the rights of human beings.
How typical of a con. Name calling and profanity like an 8 year old having a tantrum. Why don't you comment on the actual issue here? That's right, that would take half a brain, which you don't have. Have a nice life living in squalor in your corporate shithole. You, and the rest of this retarded country deserve it.
Anyone who has even the faintest idea about how the US political system really works knows that corporations and other special interests have been buying off politicians and it is these organizations and their money that run Washington. Corporations most they likely will prefer to use their influence behind closed doors as per usual and contribute to campaigns quietly rather than put the spot light on themselves by running their own commercials. The US is going down the hole because of it.
What the...? Olbermann actually thinks that this ruling is worse than the one that was a contributing factor to the Civil War?!? Seriously? Jon Stewart! We need another smackdown!
@Kippest: Corporations will get to *run ads* later into the campaigns. That's it. We will be subjected to more ads around election time, which will likely prompt people to *turn their TVs off* sooner, rather than later. Candidates can counter-act this by summing up their platforms clearly and unambigously. I'm sorry, comparisons to the Civil War are both premature and a bit offensive. "Thousands enslaved is no worse than companies endorsing political candidates! O NOES, THE SKY IS FALLING!"
In reality, Congress has been bought and paid for long before this Supreme Court ruling. Politicians have just gone about their transactions a little differently than through corporate funding. Perhaps, you might consider how members of Congress have purchased stock in businesses who are most likely to profit the most because of their legislation. It has already happened in America long before Robertson sided for the corporation.
that when obama won yall had to pull out every trick in the book and the nbc/cbs/abc/bbc/did every thing in there power to sway the election for obama and he won buy a thin line and you know that if the real magorty in this great nation wakes up and gets out and votes your obama and his plans to strip away freedom from the people will fail
The facts disagree with you. Obama did not win "by a thin line." He won by 10 million votes and won by a much greater margin than Bush beat Kerry with in 2004. (Obama got 66,882,230 votes over McCain's 58,343,671) Karl Rove called GW Bush's victory as a "mandate" by the Amerian people. Do you now agree with Karl Rove that Obama has a mandate?
And talk about "stripping away freedom" The GOP led Patriot Act ripped the Constitution to threads.
Lincoln wanted him arrested for his views during a sensitive time.... Overbite is clueless.... You just dont walk up to a people and say let them be.... Lincoln knew how to go about it. This is what happen when you are wordy and verbose, but dont have a clue how to read between the lines!
What is this guy complaining about he should be jumpin up and down that Unions can now give money publicy to the canidate of their choosing. The only reason he is not is because it balances the playing field. And yes corporations are people, well in the sense they are run by people same with unions.
Unions, outspend corporations? Yep, and Stephen Hawking can kick Mike Tyson's ass. The corporations will GIVE THEMSELVES all the rights and take the people's away. Sue corporations? Sorry, the 'frivolous lawsuit' bill put an end to that... so what if your kid died from tainted food. They will BUY politicians to do their bidding. Unless this is overturned, it is the end of Democracy. You will only know what they want you to, and they will keep us divided.
@LynnVicia You are absolutely right..we are heading towards "Idiocracy" at light speed. Apparently most people don't get what corporate fascists do and are...and the Roberts court just handed a major victory to them...it is really sad to see Democracy die..Strength and Honor! Cat
Olbermann is such a drama queen. The first amendment has been upheld. People can now donate to the candidate of choice singly or in large groups. We OWN the corporations and we ARE the unions. What he is really crying about is the demise of media being the only force in deciding whose message will be shared. Media was the king maker last election. No more. This man is the biggest lying, crying, whining, embarrassment on any news media. He almost makes Maddow and Huffington look sane.
This idiot is a one-sided douchbag. For the things he says and the pathetic ways he says it should be fired. Fucking left wing nutcase. And he sucks at both politics and sports broadcasting. Hope he has a stroke so he will shut the F up.
real simple, corporations, industry, religion, and special interest groups have been ruling this country and just about every western nation since ancient rome.
i'm not saying corporations are great and perfect, nor are they individuals. but they and all these other forces mentioned really run the show and make our world, be it good or bad. you and i, the lonely citizen voters do not matter other than on a local level at best. if you think otherwise, you being Rockwell delusional
Corporations and major industry have been running this country from the inception of it. The much overhyped founding fathers were men who merely wanted control, power, and money for their own in the end and basically took it away from the British.
Why are any of you whiners so angry and have your proverbial panties in a bunch? Industry and businesses have been calling the shots since day one in the USA and the world. I say if the corps run it all they should have a voice too
If it's nothing new why did they have to vote on this? Why the alarmist response?
This is new, sweeping and very, very bad. I hope you're not young darlin' because this is your life and it is not going to be fun. Notice what the credit card companies do now? Notice how your salary "grows"? Notice the daily rape? This is just the beginning. Pray.
@ thyroperoxidaseI happen to have a degree dumb ass.You should educate yourself, you think this ruling is good? It's fascism asshole, wake up. Your freedom, my freedom is now in the hands of the corp's. How thick are you fuckers who think this ruling is good? eh?
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.
@gje - what are you talking about? Do you know anything of our founding fathers? They almost all died penniless and powerless. George Washington was offered the kingship and turned it down! They ENSURED that the ultimate power remained with the people. If we don't like this ruling we stand up and force the legislature and president to change the constitution just as we have before.
Just what we need - more sleazy corporate whores blaring political commercials on my TV. Thank you so much Mr. Bush for appointing these robotic, neo-con scumbags to the Supreme Court. If our Founding Fathers were alive today, Chief Justice Roberts and his cohorts would be hanged in the Town Square.

These progressives are upset because the Great and Powerful George Soros won't be able to out spend the US corporations and buy OUR elections anymore.
THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! PEOPLE, PLEASE, WAKE UP!!! Let us come together and FIGHT THIS! If we don't get this ruling overturned you can say goodbye to your freedom. All of it. You might as well move to China (at least they've got a better economy). LET US PUT PARTY POLITICS ASIDE AND COME TOGETHER. PLEASE!!!
The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to POISON THE CHANNELS OF PUBLIC INFORMATION.
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but HOW BEST TO USE THE NEWS TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC into giving the fascist and his group more MONEY or more POWER.
The American fascists are most easily recognized by their DELIBERATE PERVERSION OF TRUTH AND FACT. Their NEWSPAPERS and PROPAGANDA carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy...
Still another danger is represented by those who, PAYING LIP SERVICE TO DEMOCRACY and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, DO NOT HESITATE surreptitiously TO EVADE THE LAWS DESIGNED TO SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC FROM MONOPOLISTIC EXTORTION."
THEY CLAIM TO BE SUPER-PATRIOTS, BUT THEY WOULD DESTROY EVERY LIBERTY GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION.
They demand FREE ENTERPRISE, but are the SPOKESMEN for MONOPOLY AND VESTED INTEREST.
Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of THE STATE and the power of the MARKET simultaneously, they may KEEP THE COMMON MAN IN ETERNAL SUBJECTION.
"THE MONEY POWERS PREY UPON THE NATION in times of peace and CONSPIRE AGAINST IT in times of adversity.
It is MORE DESPOTIC THAN A MONARCHY, more INSOLENT than autocracy, and more SELFISH than bureaucracy.
It denounces as public enemies, ALL WHO QUESTION IT'S METHODS or THROW LIGHT UPON ITS CRIMES. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and THE BANKERS in the rear."
"Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
CORPORATIONS have been enthroned and AN ERA OF CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES WILL FOLLOW, and THE MONEY POWERS of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign BY WORKING UPON THE PREJUDICES OF THE PEOPLE until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and THE REPUBLIC IS DESTROYED.
avatar723: I would cut & paste but I have no business getting involved with your country's politics. I'm Canadian.
I love (sarcasm) how people in dif. countries on youtube malign the U.S. truth is....did you know, no politician in Canada cheated on their spouse?takes payola?we don't torture? truth is we're so corrupt you'll never hear about it.
American's at least are open about it.
and your right it's really facism...threatening it's socialism is "smoke and mirrors".
*****KUDOS KEITH***** I know it's difficult to teach the lethargic; but continue speaking out telling America exactly the way it is despite those who would rather silence the truth than be exposed!!!!!
PS Keith Olberman is way too dramatic. He's basically the counterpart and anththesis of O'Reilly and Beck on FauxNews. The only difference is that Olberman gives his own leftist spin on things while Beck and O'Reilly spin things to the right politically and culturally.
Give it rest, At least Olberman has the balls to speak of the real reality of corporate fascism ffs. It's officially legal. What do you want him to do, "tone" it down and sugar coat it?
@WolfArden44 why don't you give your liberal histrionics a rest along with buddy-boy Keith? you get so dramatic and angry at things anyone with sense knew existed 20 to 40 years ago. did you really think you lived in a make-believe world where you the citizen were the master of everything and everything would turn out as roses for you and your made-up mindset? how rosy and delusional your glasses must be. but have fun in your lefty slanted viewed world
Yep it may existed, difference now, it is officially legal, don't you get it? The entire Political system is hijacked man. We as a nation whether liberal ,conservative, or independent, our votes and voice doesn't mean shit, the political system is in fact a corporation,ran by the corporations, it is fascism. Legally now,hello.
@ gje313 "Lefty view of world?" WTF is wrong with ya? I happen to be an independent. Regardless of political affiliation, we are all fxxxed, ya get that? It's official now fgs. Our leaders are screwing all of us to the wall. ALL of us.
you are so sad and stereotypical in action. no ones falls into your viewpoint of the world so therefore they are completely wrong and you of course are the guiding light of reason an the proper course
do you really think most people 80 years ago sat around pontificating like you about the government and worldly forces? no, they had lives and things to do of worth Do you think most citizens of Rome were news junkies? no they had lives and not condescending youtube trolls like you
@ gje313: You're fxxxked up in the head. Blah blah blah,Your blabbering makes zero sense. The whole country is ran by corporations 'legally' now you moron, had nothing to do with free speech. This new ruling has to do with Corps having control in the politics, therefore your voice, my voice does not count for shit anymore. Christ, wake up.
@wolfarden your voice and single vote never mattered to begin with in the grand scheme of things. but hey, if you want to be delusional and ruler of your little world, go ahead and believe your thoughts and vote ever mattered beyond a local level at best
You didn't even understand that that long post wasn't me "pontificating like you about the government and worldly forces", but an essay by FDR's vice president---did you? And did you understand ANYTHING he said?
Was he "hysterical", too? How about all those"hysterical" editorials in every major newspaper in the country yesterday?
Have you ever heard "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance"? Do you understand what that means?
Do you know that hole in the ground is not your ass?

Honestly, politicians and leaders in western history, including our own USA, have always been either influenced by some larger, more powerful group or forces other than the lonely, voting citizen who has a choice most of the time between 2 choices on the ballot.
Roman senators, medieval lords and clergy, US Senators, members of the British Parliament etc, etc, etc have always had other forces guiding them other than the lowly peon citizen
Olbermann!! What about the Unions huh??? SEIU donated $60 million to Obama's campaign!! The unions control the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration. I didnt here u complaining about that during the 2008 election nor do i here u complaining about it now. The Unions have no restrictions but corporations should? Also, u forget that fact that YOU are employed by a corporation so should your political free speech be limited bc you're apart of a corporation?
Corporate fascist America brought to you by Republican appointed conservative activist judges. Any fool could have seen this coming and fools supported it. Say goodbye to representational Government.
Too bad Keith & Rachael both keep blowing their moral high ground by constantly and continuously promoting their 'gay marriage' & pro-abortion Tree of Death agenda. Their promotion of abominations unfortunately, immediately dilutes any truths they might speak, and any positive impact which they may have had in their golden cup of truths is immediately poisoned by their propagandizing of abomination. (5:27)
How is he a hypocrite? because he hates the fact that people like you can be bought and sold so easily? Olberman SPEAKS HIS MIND, USING LOGIC, FACTS, REASON, and CONCISE POINTS. Corporations don't pay him off so he'll spout THEIR ideals, otherwise he probably wouldn't be complaining about CORPORATIONS, would he? I know you're probably used to Beck, Hannity, and O'Reily who change there opinions whenever instructed to by their corporate overlords, but don't group Olberman with those Fox-Whores
Lol what a fear monger. He is worse than Limbaugh

He's a socialist....Loved him at ESPN. But he went from Joe Six-Pack to Joe Stalin very quickly! He's good....and I admire his talent, but he certainly sold his soul for a huge paycheck. And that's OK. Actually it's great. That's what's capitalism is all about.

What do you expect from lawless men? Six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Roman Catholic, whose religion has chosen to expunge Two of the Ten Commandments: the 2nd and the 4th. And these justices stand under the auspices of the most powerful and unrepentant religion of Earth.

Since our government is, in fact, our national service staff, no elected or appointed official, or government employee has the right to express personal opinions on religion, race or any subject other than that directly involved with the performance of their clearly-described and assigned duties. Pink slips can be printed much faster than paper money. Something good and something huge is happening.

History already shows gross negligence to campaign finance rules. Look back at '08. While corporations have no place in political campaigns, you have to keep in mind the super-majority party which passed this law is the SAME ONE that broke every single campaign finance rule. So WAH!

The new Supreme Court decision will allow a corporation to run false attack ads against anyone they wish. That means they can now EXTORT every politician in the U.S. to do whatever they want for profit.

Because the N.Y. Times or conservative newspapers run an editorial is irrelevant. They DON'T run ATTACK ADS on TV.

With all due respect, you're missing the point. Your analogy is flawed. The focus of an ad is narrow. The scope of its influence is limited to its relevance. In other words, you may not go buy a toaster after seeing an ad of one, but you may be more likely to buy the brand you saw on the ad whenever you need to get one. I hope this is is clear.

Your argument still centers around the idea that people will blindly follow what they are told, and only by restricting the flow of information can we insure they don't make a "bad" decision.

Actually, unlimited corporate advertising spending, as I see it, is the idea that Corporations want to influence the "unwashed masses" with so much propaganda as to assure that the votes necessary to install their handmaidens are ensured. After all, this system still requires the vote.

In reality, Congress has been bought and paid for long before this Supreme Court ruling. Politicians have just gone about their transactions a little differently than through corporate funding.

"In an effort to ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY RIVAL growing up, some monopolists would SACRIFICE DEMOCRACY ITSELF.
- from "The Danger of American Fascism", by Henry Agard Wallace, the 33rd Vice President of the United States, in The New York Times, 1944
Note toTeabaggers: I suggest you read the Vice President's entire essay, and carefully consider who and what you're supporting.

Yeah, pretty incredibly spot-on prescient, huh? Vice President Wallace was apparently one of the Good Ones, a true patriot.
Cut, paste & pass it on--we need an informed citizenry if we're going to REALLY "take our country back".
The war has begun.
Speaking of prescience, have you seen the Lincoln quote about this issue?

"THE MONEY POWERS PREY UPON THE NATION in times of peace and CONSPIRE AGAINST IT in times of adversity.
It is MORE DESPOTIC THAN A MONARCHY, more INSOLENT than autocracy, and more SELFISH than bureaucracy.
It denounces as public enemies, ALL WHO QUESTION IT'S METHODS or THROW LIGHT UPON ITS CRIMES. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and THE BANKERS in the rear."

CORPORATIONS have been enthroned and AN ERA OF CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES WILL FOLLOW, and THE MONEY POWERS of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign BY WORKING UPON THE PREJUDICES OF THE PEOPLE until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and THE REPUBLIC IS DESTROYED.

I love (sarcasm) how people in dif. countries on youtube malign the U.S. truth is....did you know, no politician in Canada cheated on their spouse?takes payola?we don't torture? truth is we're so corrupt you'll never hear about it.

"You get up on your little 21-inch screen and howl about America and democracy.
There is no America.
There is no democracy.
There is only IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and Du Pont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon.
Those are the nations of the world today.

What's finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the individual in it.
It's the individual that's finished.
It's the single, solitary human being who's finished.
It's every single one of you out there who's finished.
Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals.
This is a nation of two hundred-odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter-than-white, steel-belted bodies,
totally unnecessary as human beings
and as replaceable as piston rods."

PS Keith Olberman is way too dramatic. He's basically the counterpart and anththesis of O'Reilly and Beck on FauxNews. The only difference is that Olberman gives his own leftist spin on things while Beck and O'Reilly spin things to the right politically and culturally.

Give it rest, At least Olberman has the balls to speak of the real reality of corporate fascism ffs. It's officially legal. What do you want him to do, "tone" it down and sugar coat it?

@WolfArden44 why don't you give your liberal histrionics a rest along with buddy-boy Keith? you get so dramatic and angry at things anyone with sense knew existed 20 to 40 years ago. did you really think you lived in a make-believe world where you the citizen were the master of everything and everything would turn out as roses for you and your made-up mindset? how rosy and delusional your glasses must be. but have fun in your lefty slanted viewed world

Yep it may existed, difference now, it is officially legal, don't you get it? The entire Political system is hijacked man. We as a nation whether liberal ,conservative, or independent, our votes and voice doesn't mean shit, the political system is in fact a corporation,ran by the corporations, it is fascism.

do you really think most people 80 years ago sat around pontificating like you about the government and worldly forces? no, they had lives and things to do of worth Do you think most citizens of Rome were news junkies? no they had lives and not condescending youtube trolls like you

@ gje313: You're fxxxked up in the head. Blah blah blah,Your blabbering makes zero sense. The whole country is ran by corporations 'legally' now you moron, had nothing to do with free speech. This new ruling has to do with Corps having control in the politics, therefore your voice, my voice does not count for shit anymore. Christ, wake up.

You didn't even understand that that long post wasn't me "pontificating like you about the government and worldly forces", but an essay by FDR's vice president---did you? And did you understand ANYTHING he said?
Was he "hysterical", too? How about all those"hysterical" editorials in every major newspaper in the country yesterday?
Have you ever heard "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance"? Do you understand what that means?
Do you know that hole in the ground is not your ass?

Honestly, politicians and leaders in western history, including our own USA, have always been either influenced by some larger, more powerful group or forces other than the lonely, voting citizen who has a choice most of the time between 2 choices on the ballot.
Roman senators, medieval lords and clergy, US Senators, members of the British Parliament etc, etc, etc have always had other forces guiding them other than the lowly peon citizen

Olbermann!! What about the Unions huh??? SEIU donated $60 million to Obama's campaign!! The unions control the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration. I didnt here u complaining about that during the 2008 election nor do i here u complaining about it now. The Unions have no restrictions but corporations should? Also, u forget that fact that YOU are employed by a corporation so should your political free speech be limited bc you're apart of a corporation?

Too bad Keith & Rachael both keep blowing their moral high ground by constantly and continuously promoting their 'gay marriage' & pro-abortion Tree of Death agenda. Their promotion of abominations unfortunately, immediately dilutes any truths they might speak, and any positive impact which they may have had in their golden cup of truths is immediately poisoned by their propagandizing of abomination.

How is he a hypocrite? because he hates the fact that people like you can be bought and sold so easily? Olberman SPEAKS HIS MIND, USING LOGIC, FACTS, REASON, and CONCISE POINTS. Corporations don't pay him off so he'll spout THEIR ideals, otherwise he probably wouldn't be complaining about CORPORATIONS, would he? I know you're probably used to Beck, Hannity, and O'Reily who change there opinions whenever instructed to by their corporate overlords, but don't group Olberman with those Fox-Whores
