Countdown: Special Comment on "My America" Oct. 20, 2008

[zjones1222]

Scary campaign fund raising slogan Democrats Count down for America. Republicans created another slogan as opposition Take back America. Both slogans were about fundraising but meant something opposite according to interpreters. Count down for America reads into the notion of socialism and Take back America sounds like a campaign for anarchism. Rather both opposing party received money from big wig organization like Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street dealing corporations. Strange slogans.

"Pro-America" a.k.a People who don't question anything that the government does.

[Realizalize]

see he may or may not be a journalist, but in the "liberal" "world", there is comment, there is analisys, satire, comic, journalism, thesis and hypothesis, synthesis, speech, talk, pray

and so on,

while the Reps. are failed clowns, and mark my words, they won`t change in the next 6 month

p.s.: Billo is the Super(failed)clown;

of witch I refered to as Superclown, but that would be an insult to real clowns, and who would want that!?

[TarkinRocher]

We're under Rob mob rule!!!

:P

[clmothers1]

You Suck, Olbermann!! Your NOT a journalist.

[DarthBombshell]

You're right. Olbermann isn't a journalist. He's just a guy who tells it like it is. And God knows we need more of those guys these days.

[hork55]

Darthbomb, you are an idiot. IT"S FLUFF, FLUFF, AND MORE SHIT FLUFF. How stupid you are and the mindless drones that gave you a thumbs up. One idealogy will ALWAYS leave you blind. Yes Sean Hannity is one big fuckhead, but this Olbermann takes the big fat shitcake.

[jtbell30]

LoL. It's editorial, not journalistic.

He knows.

You sir, Fail.

[SirBroadsword]

I reckon that if McCain had done what Olbermann describes from 5:55 - 7:14 and not picked Palin as his running mate, he'd probably be in a much better position now than he currently is... Australians blew off Howard's negativity towards Rudd and handed the latter and landslide victory last year and now Americans are doing the same thing to McCain... I guess history really is doomed to repeat itself... :/

[JulietsMan]

you know what....you can not argue with a word KO says. you can disagree, you can pout whimper call names and take your fucking ball home and play on your own hoop over the garage BY YOURSELF!! but you can NOT argue with him. the reason he owns every time is because he takes the right wing game and their rules and plays it RIGHT AND SMART AND WITH LOGIC and CRITICAL THINKING. something the bible fuckers cant do at all.

[JulietsMan]

ok this is a last ditch effort for the mcPLAIN campaign. they are doing the same thing the bush white house did after 9/11. if your not with us you are against us. your american or a terrorist. they are cynically banking that the nation is still divided cuz of the 9/11. do you think they are right? do you think bush has done well? do you feel good about the past 8 years? if you answered yes to any of these questions then mcbrainless is picking the right strategery.

[SirBroadsword]

JulietsMan:

It's interesting to note how the pundits went out of their way to defend Bush for the last eight years, only to throw him under their own self-desctructing bus now, claiming that he "wasn't a true conservative" and so on... Don't believe me? Look up Michael Medved's recent article "For Conservatives, Obama's Changes Would Be Permanent and Devastating" and read both it and the comments posted below... It's quite startling, actually...

[Right108]

Jeez, a bunch of pure BS spoken by THE most liberal guy on television. He makes some of the dumbest arguments of anyone on the air. This guy is a complete worthless, washed up, ex-sports announcer turned self-proclaimed political analyst. One word: ANNOYING. No wonder the rating on this is 3 star.

Here's something that bonehead couldn't refute even if his life depended on it:

[donkingkong08]

so there are still intelligent people in the us media. great comment!

[zzzxxyy]

These far right douchebags have no sense of pride, shame, and patriotism. These conservatives have destroyed the Republican party with their "us or them" horseshit that continues to divide America, that continues to make most White people afraid of those who are different. These assholes must leave America and let her be. Keith, I love your book on special comments. Thank you for standing up to these assholes for all America. Heather456, you rock as well. Thank you both!

[FFace6]

Olbermann really puts the "c*nt" in "country"!

[mrburningone]

Ah, you poor conservative bitches.

Your bitterness is so grand to behold and your fear is a sweet thing to smell.

I've done fifty different scenarios on the current political maps using all the polls from every news source and it always comes up Obama.

What a damn shame for you and your party.

Trust me, i'm going to be laughing at you all fucking day on Nov 4th.

I mean, wow, lose the white house.

Lose both houses in congress.

If I were you, I would think about leaving the country :-))

[FFace6]

Who are you talking to? everyone on this site is pro-obama.

My comment was just a joke about the fact that Olbermann has to scream his message making himself sound unprofessional and frankly a bit mad.

I am totally all for the Democrats and agree with absolutely every word Olbermann said today (as I usually do). Does he have to shout like loon though? Maybe he's the antithesis to the equally screaming Fox News bunch.

[plago12]

It does dissolve into a screech though, doesn't it.

I find Olbermann refreshing, and a lot better writer than O'Reilly, however.

[IlGreven]

So he must not be part of your America, huh?

[Bedlam83]

5 stars for these wise words!

...and applause from Germany! Good to know there are some sane people left on the other side of the Atlantic.

[Himechansexytightass]

Why does it seem that Obama is more popular in Germany than he is here? Quarter of a million...I never seen so many American flags in a foreign country before that wasn't burning:D

[FeudFan76]

Long live Keith Olbermann!

[mrburningone]

All I have to say is that if these fanatic neocons feel this way, when Obama wins, will they leave MY country?

Because i'll be more than happy to show them the mutherfcking door!!

[DarthBombshell]

Amen!

[PussycatGoGo]

Two stars? I see the McCain bots have struck again. Pathetic.

[DarthBombshell]

Don't worry. I just gave it five. :)

[dsgspm]

what's so "special" about these comments? great as olberman is, they're common sense ramblings. sad state of affairs when people like limbaugh have to be countered. in a sane world, limbaugh would be locked up or thrown off the air

[IlGreven]

It's special because no one else does it.

[redwine666]

Viva Olbermann!!!!!!!!

[sjadcock]

Keith Olbermann is awesome.

I love the crazy way that "Communism" somehow doesn't mean Communism anymore. For some reason, it has come to mean "I don't agree with the government". Don't agree with the government? COMMUNIST! Non-Christian or atheist? COMMUNIST! Wondering what the hell we're still doing in Iraq? COMMUNIST COMMUNIST COMMUNIST!!

Cracks me up.

[waltermh111]

you definitely do not want to mess with Olbermann :)

His special comments are the best always. He shows the proper level of emotion while being respectful the whole time.

[JOHNmccainWASaPOW]

sarah palin is a whore.

[SuperPhillip32]

What the hell is going on in this country?

Just disgusting, embarrassing, and pathetic.

[Plutonwolf]

Fuck wit.

[overmind25]

HAHA! Thanks for the entertainment. It was just for fun. Hussein.

[Plutonwolf]

Glad to entertain!

Here's a good one I just heard, what do you get if you cross a Ron Paulie with.....oh, hold on, they don't breed, they've dedicated their lives to Saint Ron. Nevermind.

[overmind25]

Not an advocate for Ron Paul or a Constitutional Republic as the best form of government. Anyway, I didn't mean to be rude in my last comment. Sometimes I just get bored and I type stupid crap to get a response in my comment warning.

[Plutonwolf]

Cool, I can be a dick when I spot someone who has that "true believer" gleam in their eye.

WTF, go torture them all you want, this IS after all, a place for fun. If you really want to stick an M-80 in a Yellow Jacket nest, go to a McCain fans vid and ask about Keating or better yet, imply that he collaborated while he was a POW (hint, wear a cup)

[overmind25]

Well I am a definite true believer as they say. It is still fun to rattle the Obama people with the bullshit McCain Aryes, Wright, Who is the real Barack Obama, and President Hussein.

McCain is fun to attack in that he is a statist and wants income taxes, government buying up banks etc.

[cassie120962]

You forget his first name....

President Barack Hussein Obama

Vice-President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

January '09

[SuperPhillip32]

Anonymity + audience = "I'm going to try to get a reaction!"

[cassie120962]

Yeah Keith!

Come on Nov. 4th.

I'm sick of Rush Limbaugh, Michele Bachmann, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Lou Dobbs, Tucker Bounds, Rudy Giulani, Bay Buchanan, Nancy Pfotenhauer, John McCain, Sarah Palin, FOXnews, Joe Lieberman, etc. and PRAYERS TO SEN. OBAMA'S GRANDMOTHER.

[TURMOSS4]

I second that!!! O/B 08!!!!

[Spectrumstl]

Keith O', that was poetic. O rocks!

He hit the nails on their heads.

Racist kooks are using code words to incite 'pro-America' to vote for them.

What bunch of nutters.

[Screenman5]

What people dont realize is KO truly IS "Edward R. Murrow" and Rupert Murdoch truly IS Joseph McCarthy.

[TheUndeadLawyer]

I hope the people of Minnesota have enough sense to unseat that stupid cunt, Michelle Backman.

[hermannschleuter]

and that stupid prick, Norm Coleman, who's always inserted firmly in George Bush's ass

[baddmanaz]

as always, KO rocks

[larry4111]

This was the most incredible commentary I've ever heard. I've been anxiously awaiting someone to post it.

Thank you!
