SPECIAL COMMENT! - Keith Olbermann on healthcare reform - PART 2

[crhoads62]

how rude to call you a liberal, we all know you are a communist... you are so done!

[sommeflame34]

Keith! Right on, 100 %

[1989Muppet]

For the first time in history, the government is telling people they HAVE to purchase something. And this something, they have not even decided how much it will cost. But if you do not buy it, you will face jail or fines.

[italiankid7]

I hope people realize the severity of the situation - the fact that they're talking about FORCING us to do anything (against liberty) should earn each congressmen in whatever party a ticket off congress forever.

All of this is bs, this bill isn't designed to help us. It's explicitly constructed to ensure special interests don't lose profits. Some interests are actually expecting it to IMPROVE profits! So that's all this is, and republicans would be doing the same basic thing.

[mysticman07]

@italiankid7 yeah that could only happen if people we wake up and stop voting 4 these assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TallahasseeLove850]

If a bill passes, w/o a public option or a single-payer option I WILL SWITCH PARTIES!!!

I'm sad to say this but the Democratic Party is WEAK and SOLD!!!

[zacky89]

@TallahasseeLove850

The republicans are worse,

The question is what party will you switch too,

The republicans, their working for the same corporations,

[mysticman07]

@TallahasseeLove850 Wrong! thats the problem ...cant u see? the democrats and republicans are 2 cheeks of the same ass. please wake up to this fact...

[FixedNewsChannel]

@mysticman07 I agree about the cheeks, but the teabaggers are the asshole.

[Surakon58]

That about says it

[Obeyprogress]

Hell yeah!!! No Mandate if there is no public options.

Keith Olbermann for president.

[NWOslayer2009]

There are no constitutional grounds for the government to mandate that we purchase any good or service.

I will not pay for any mandated "health care".

I will not pay any fine for not purchasing mandated "health care".

Lastly, I feel sorry for the bastard that shows up at my door for not paying the fine for not purchasing mandatory "health care", cause they will be leaving in a body bag.

[TheRamenAvenger]

The government already mandates that you buy car insurance.

You're going to shoot anyone who tries to collect taxes from you? Good luck with that!

[Th1rt3enScorpio]

@TheRamenAvenger

But they don't mandate you buy a car...hence if you don't have a car, you don't have to buy car insurance. Thats the difference...

[NWOslayer2009]

The difference is I can choose NOT to drive.

I do choose to drive, and I do have car insurance. If I no longer want to pay for car insurance, I can quit driving. If I don't want to pay for mandated "health" insurance, then I will have what option? That's right, nothing, there will be no individual choice.

I'm not one to embrace totalitarianism, not gonna happen.

[fu3ar25]

gotta keep them alive so they know what real health insurance is \m/

[Megpie1983]

Keith, you took the words right out of my mouth. I am in the President's corner but he's gotta start being firmer with what is needed. I think he has tried to please everyone and that's not working. Cmon Obama, I got your back

[DillonX]

Barack needs to grow some balls!

[TPAUSA]

Keith you are a Patriot Sir!

[TheRamenAvenger]

President Obama's primary failure has been the failure to realize that the Republicans have nothing to offer the American people, and the only way to deal with them is to defeat them.

[MotionFrequency]

The democrats have something to offer, they always do and it's always the same. Higher taxes. The economy is broke, raise taxes, the air we exhale is bad, raise taxes-that will fix it. Health care is broke, raise taxes. People make too much sir, raise taxes. People are too successful, raise taxes. People aren't giving to things we want, raise taxes. People aren't murdering babies, raise their taxes, It's getting old. It's prehistoric in fact. Anyone that believes these failed policies is mental.

[TheRamenAvenger]

The only failed policies we're laboring under now are George W. Bush's.

Taxed for not murdering babies? Seek professional mental help.

[Orchard6773]

This is nothing but massive power grab by Pelosi, Reid, Obama and the other dirty lefties. The pain these people are inflicting on this country is unreal and all under the guise of "doing what's fair" and helping people.

[TheSchmuckLook]

I totally agree with KO!! The mandated BUYING of health insurance, as the mandated BUYING of auto insurance, means these corporations will no longer have to SELL it. YOU will have to go to them, hat in hand. What's wrong with THIS picture? Answer...EVERYTHING.  Peace.

[Craigipedia]

1:30 "theyre calling you a socialist, a communist, a marxist"... um... they have called him (and these are real quotes from NewsMax, Fox News, WorldNetDaily, Drudge, etc) a "baby killer", "terrorist", "outsider", "Hitler", "Stalin", "Lenin", "Chairman Mao", "abortionist", "murderer", "senior killer", "Muslim" (as if that's a bad thing), "anti-American", "Kenyan" (as if its a bad thing), and all sorts of horrible bullshit... the Right is against everyone who thinks, and they know not what they do

[synapse131]

It's called the "monkey slinging s#*t in every direction at anything" strategy of conservative politics.

[MotionFrequency]

At least it's not the tax everything that wants to succeed and spend on crap fossil of a policy that is the only idea liberals have ever had. The answer to all our problems is raising taxes? What a joke. To fix the economy, raise taxes, to fix healthcare, raise rates, to fix the environment, raise taxes. Anyone that believes these prehistoric failed policies that have never succeeded anywhere should be checked for a brain. They might be a zombie big brother clone or something. They can't be real

[bubba007ss]

Make sure you only post liberal views to show what your channel stands for If I would choose to post political videos I would let others voice their opinions not like the IDIOT in the video does on his show

[FixedNewsChannel]

And why the hell haven't I deleted all your trolly posts then?

Asshole. Just making yourself look stupid now.

[bubba007ss]

Look an IDIOT with an opinion We have Liberals in our state who want to charge us for traveling on interstates and raise our taxes Liberals are charging people in other states a yearly car tax just for owning a car. They always think of demises to take from the working men & women of AMERICA Their party is all about taking & no giving Forcing us to buy insurance at their will and not our own taking our rights away.

[rebjiii]

bubba007ss...u are required to buy car insurance to drive an automobile......u will not be taxed anymore than u currently are....u will continue to pay the same 27% income tax....on your $29,000 a year job as a WALMART cashier.....and raising the tax rate from 36% to 40% on people who earn over $250K a year...does not equate to socialism or communism or marxism.

u would believe the moon was made of cheese....if beck or limbaugh told u that.

[bubba007ss]

I love working at Wal-Mart they hate the very word of Christmas They stand for the liberal way of doing things You are very deceived in believing this will help solve our problems do you think they will give something back to us or will they just keep coming after more? Don't you think they need to slow down a bit with all this spending? They keep doing it on both sides.

[fritopendejo09]

KO = LEGENDARY

5 stars

[nyteaparty]

You liberals who voted for Obama got Punked!

[rebjiii]

nyteaparty..the GOP's defeat of health insurance reform so that unethical insurance companies can maintain the status quo will bring the GOP to its knees for the next 12 yrs

the USA is the only Capitalistic Democratic Country w/out govt provided health care 4 everyone

the GOP misses the point in the health care debate.. that the USA can not compete with Western Europe b/c the corps in those Modern Western democracies have 2 budget $0.00 4 health care.. b/c their workers are already covered

[ThatKrazygirlie]

If I was going to be criticized for something, the reaction would be identical whether I did nothing that engendered it or whether I stood for something. Mr. President, they're calling you a socialist, a communist, a Marxist! You could be further to the right than Reagan, and they will still call you names! If they are going to call you a socialist no matter what, you have been given full unfettered freedom to do what you know is just!

I love this. I'm keeping this. Thanks, Keith! ^_~

[SubmarinerAndroid]

2:49 it's ON

The President Of Liberals is sending his ships toward King Obama's major ports. I can almost hear the cannon and smell the gunpowder already...

Prediction: Howard Dean runs, with Olbermann's endorsement.

[ThatKrazygirlie]

Oh man... I wish Howard Dean had been the candidate in '04!!

[RKBJJ]

Guess I'm also going to jail then. I'm not buying in this garbage mandate. A single party state catering to corporations while wrapped in hysterical nationalism was Mussolini's dream come true. We do not learn from history, do we? Enraging to say the least.

[c5rang]

Now thats a guy who cares about this country and the american people.

[TenRoc382k9]

now if they will only fucking listin

[VforVendetta07]

Very eloquent.  Love Olbermann.

[Relugus]

Corporate Welfare for the rich, poverty and slavery for the poor and middle classes.

If the government helps the poor, that's "socialism", but when the government gives freebies to corporations, that's fine and dandy, according to many of our politicians.

[bobsavage64]

Do what you know is just! YES YES YES!

[GstateBALLER925]

superb special comment... he nailed it, and called out the senators that needed to be called out for their greedy ways. and giving credit where credit is due to the senators who have fought for reform. and the smack down of president obama was perfect... well deserved.

[St1kyFinguz]

A wise man once said "Cry some more HAHAHAHA CRY SUMMORE!

[chewbaca1989]

No grammar Gestapo, I'm in a hurry.

[classc63]

Just watched this and posted in on FaceBook...am DEFINITELY writing Senator Harkin...no point in bothing with Grassley the SCHMUCK!!!!!!

[chewbaca1989]

Olberman is incontenant, that's why he always sits.

What I find offensive is his diarahea spewing mouth. All it does is find cute ways of hurling demagaogary.

My rights are to my life my labor and my property.

Push this through, it is moraly wrong.

Morality is not emotional nor is it alarmist.

Global Warming has been nothing but a scam by international bankers, Health Care "reform" is a gift to the insurance corporations (per Kucinish, a hero).

Blah, blah, blah, Olberman, do what you will.

[GstateBALLER925]

please, save us the sob story and pointless lecture.

[chewbaca1989]

It's my money, it's my labor, keep you grubby hands off.

[gallomex13]

hope you never loose your labor, and hope you don't loose your arms or your legs.

[chewbaca1989]

Hey, likewise, but if I loose my job it will be the governments fault.

[gallomex13]

or a corporation cutting back do to cheaper labor in other countries, either or, right? Give a corporation more tax breaks they pocket the money and hire 20 people in India for the prize of one in the US, give them more taxes they will do the same. Government don't create jobs corporations do, goverment doesn't give loans to small business, banks do. Get the fuck off the "blame the goverment" horse and start walking and see reality, you have no clue what a real evil goverment is like.

[chewbaca1989]

Yup, when Nixon dissolved the Brenton Woods Agreement in 1971 liberating the Federal Reserve to print money at will. To pay for a warstate and a welfarestate and what do we have now?

And Al Gore sold NAFTA to "create more jobs" and all you heard was a whoosing sound of jobs leaving America.

You bet big government is to blame, I'm on that fucking horse baby, and running that nag into the ground.

[gallomex13]

First of all the Federal Reserve since its beginning was able to print money at will, they didn't have to wait for Nixon, and NAFTA only involves USA, MEXICO and Canada, how that fuck those that explain the job lost to South America, India, and China? greedy corporations who will rather sell you garbage from China than employee you that is why. you are running in circles like a sheep inside a corral.

[chewbaca1989]

The Federal Reserve does not print Constitutional based money.

copy paste:By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

[NWOslayer2009]

You are CORRECT. Wake up people.

The fed is a fraud. We're SUPPOSED to be able to turn in our notes for precious metals, that was the whole point of having the notes. And, it is not acceptable to have a private bank, A PRIVATE CORPORATION, in charge of the money supply. To add insult to injury, they add interest to the "money" they print, then illegally steal our hard earned wages (which are not defined as income constitutionally) to pay that interest on their fiat money! It all began in 1913.

[NWOslayer2009]

We do not need the "Federal" "Reserve", which is NOT Federal at all. The was no fed before 1913, and there was no "income" tax. It's all a fraud, highly unconstitutional, and therefore illegal. The private corporation has no right to tax our wages, period.

It is time, to kill the fed, and arrest the banksters, not only for fraud, but causing misery for millions of innocent people. You cannot endlessly print money out of thin air, increasing the supply, decreasing value, and expect prosperity.

[NWOslayer2009]

The "Federal" "Reserve" causes the booms and busts.

We do not need the fed. We do not need the IRS. There was no fed or IRS before 1913.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered" -Thomas Jefferson

[NWOslayer2009]

"Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes her laws" -Rothschild (scum!)

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Henry Ford, founder of the Ford motor company.

There are thousands of quotes about what the central banks to do to countries, these are just a few. And then there's the IMF, don't even get me started on that.

[Thanos1919]

@chewbaca1989 - What the hell are you talking about? Lol

[chewbaca1989]

A needle in your minds eye.

The Federal Reserve is destroying America.

You will remember.

[1019drummer]

1 of my favzzzzzzzzzzzz

[1019drummer]

This whole thing owned.

It owned at so many levels.

thanks Kieth and thanks for sharing Fnc

[StuartStreet]

Our Government cares more for the Corporate Kleptocracy® and their right to steal every dime we earn than the public's well being.We the people are we the victims...Congress is a joke and they don't give a damn about the people who voted them in.

[NWOslayer2009]

+1 million

[urbanverificationist]

There are only two real health care reform options. Medicare For All or a system that requires everyone to purchase health insurance and mandates that all health insurance companies and hospitals are non-profit. In both cases, the price of physician services, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals must be negotiated downward to reflect the incomes and the comparative cost of living of Americans everywhere.

[CosmosPrivateer]

Face it KO they don't care.

Our votes don't matter its all fake.

[seamoremonster]

Excellent. So beautifully put Keith. Let us hope that Obama is watching. It's time to dig in and fight back.

[andriod217]

Bravo sir.
