Keith Olbermann Special Comment on Gay Marriage Prop 8

[MegaRobin321]

A positive appeal for people to exercise more empathy, more sympathy for people we may not understand or agree with is, especially in this case, a good thing. Olbermann's plea from his heart makes perfectly good sense.

[borebox]

Bravo bravo bravo-you go girl,things are improving we shall prevail!

[landwalker88]

gays should be allowed to be married, but god damn this guy made a retarded/annoying argument for it

[liw213]

It's eerie.Its like Satan is speaking through Keith.

[arpeggio420]

Is he...Is he CRYING? Can he not get married?

[flacos77]

This guys marriage is probably a sham! lol! he got pretty emotional for not being gay. .

[kelseypaigecarrier]

@flacos77 Shut the fuck up

[kelseypaigecarrier]

@flacos77 Shut the fuck up

[flacos77]

@kelseypaigecarrier LMFAO !!! HAHAHA

[erives174]

Thank you Keith. You are a model human being. I wish more people thought like you do. I myself am heterosexual, and I too believe that the people that voted on this are just plain disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves.

[clay56]

In same gender marriage, both adults can give legal consent unlike animals or objects. Polygamy is probably the most ironic argument against the institution by fundamentalists since the same Bible they claim forbids homosexuality is almost completely accepting towards polygamy.

[eiko212]

@clay56 Exactly. Many of the prophets of the bible, such as Solomon, had wives galore. But of course, selective memory.

[Bethalaine]

People are so dumb. People are like "gay marriage attacks traditional marriage between one man and one woman!" Alright, so if a man is married to a woman, it's more important that she's a woman--not that he loves her and cares for her?

If that's what "traditional" marriage is all about, I'm never getting married. ._.

[JimFromWaterford]

@Bethalaine - you see dummy, this is not about love or caring. This is about the legal definition or marriage, which has NEVER applied to same sex couples. Listen, you dullard, if a special interest group can change the definition to suit their selective ideology, but exclude others like polygomists, beastiality and those who want to marry objects is not about equal rights. More like selective rights. Now, go do some laundry.

[sammiis16]

@JimFromWaterford Okay Dummy , if you look back through history the definition of marriage has been changing and forming . I think no one should be allowed to limit what others do with their life. I think its silly that all these people say no because it "defies" their bible , religion is just simply a way to control and organize the masses! so you can follow your silly little book called the bible , and i'm gonna support happiness and something that wont even affect you silly religious people!

[JimFromWaterford]

@sammiis16 - Then you should support Civil Unions, dummy! You see, Marriage is a religious term, so someone so in touch with reality would certainly not want to tie themselves down to a religious term like marriage. So sure, go ahead and do the right thing and support the strengthening of Civil Unions and NOT attacking a religious word by trying to redefine marriage to fit your selective ideology.

[SheRulesYourWorld]

Keith Olbermann is FUCKING AMAZING.

End of.

[JimFromWaterford]

Keith Olberman is a bag of cunt.

[Bethalaine]

@JimFromWaterford YOU are a bag of cunt.

[JimFromWaterford]

Weird how the gays want to redefine marriage, but exclude polygomists.

Got Hypocrites?

[mornmeril]

@JimFromWaterford Not all wanna exclude polygamists. I for one (Tho I am straight) would be all but happy to allow CONSENSUAL polygamy.

[martidw]

KO is desperately trying to win an Emmy to save his Titanic piece of crap show, and what better way to do this than tugging at the heart strings of the poor picked on gay community. All they want to do is love and youre not going to let them, pllleeezzzze!!! KO's delivery of this phony baloney speech was so transparent that I could hardly see his feigned expressions of deep compassion, or maybe that was due to my throwing up. I need some KOpectate.

[bcbowar50]

That was possibly the most irrational, incoherent and arragont comment I have ever read. You basically just attemped to rip apart Keith for having a sense of logic and willingness to put himself in the perspective of others. Are you around 12 years old?

[martidw]

The reason its "incoherent" to you is because you're a liberal and you have a mental disorder. Truth confuses your poisoned mind. It's a normal reaction from drinking too much KOol-aid.

[bcbowar50]

Your first sentence was correct up until the mental disorder part. Both of your comments lack any valid points. It is actually liberals who think for themselves instead of your case, which is just using an ancient and contradictory book to discriminate against homosexuals. When anybody that the opposes you with logic, you just counter them with immature and childish "kool-aid" comments. You sicken me. Until you clean your act up, please take a knife and jam it straight into your throat.

[martidw]

Your last sentence was spot on. It so typified the hypocrite left's pseudo claim of tolerance and compassion. You have absolutely zilch buddy boy.

 "All they want to do is LOVE" and stick a knife in your throat if you don't agree with them.

[bcbowar50]

I respect your opinion, though it is not rationalized at all. I told you to stick a knife in your throat because instead of supporting your opinion, you make childish insults towards liberals because they don't agree with you.

[martidw]

I really don't have anything against you or any liberal. My beef is against KO because his spin is so radical. I'm for all gays to have the same rights married people have. To change the definition of marriage to accomplish that seems extreme to me. If we change every law to accommodate every minority group we'll soon have no laws at all. That isn't freedom, that's chaos. I apologize for being inconsiderate.

[bcbowar50]

Not to insult you, but that theory is dillusional. Whenever I talk to people about this, I hear things like "What if we just allow people to marry jackalopes?!?" or something similar. That will not happen. Chill. Changng the definition of marriage really does not harm anyone. KO just made a very solid and common point, how does it harm you in any way what they do? This is a civil rights issue. Not allowing gays equal rights is discrimination, something this country does not stand for.

[martidw]

If only we had a crystal ball.

[bigdbuddy]

Let's see... it was introduced and passed by the people of the left leaning peoples republic of california - and now that it passed and you didn't get your way you can bitch about it- go pound sand you nancy boy! and loose the ladies eyewear!

[justlikeamoviestar]

Your argument tends to be rather lacking when you cannot express it intelligently, you dunce.

Learn to spell, dear.

[itzahazylife]

your ignorance is pathetic. u act like gay people didn't get their way like a little kid that didn't get a loli-pop. like it's that insignificant to these people. u act like they aren't even people with the ability to love. you're just a plague to any positivity in this world. and u know it. u know you're a scumbag, but as a defense mechanism u act all badass and take pride in being a bigot. everything about people like u is pure weakness. you're just another empty soul taking up space.

[bigdbuddy]

had my password hijacked, I'm gay. sorry for the mis hap

[billyshake]

It's spelled "lose," you homophobic idiot. What is with you rednecks and your inability to spell?

[ge0ffri]

If u clowns are gonna bicker about shit then talk about relevant stuff like the US signing nuke deals with the United Arab Emirates, IL Gov. Blagojevich, or maybe even gay rights in our country (the reason why you watched this video). But please stop pushing your stupid ideological theories about regulation, economics, and what our future prexy might or might not do. You're speculation and sword fighting competition about who learned more in their political science class isn't helping anybody.

[ge0ffri]

What does your rant have to do with prop 8?

shut up!

Obama isn't even in office yet so he can't do anything to fix anything except smile for us on a camera and reassure us he's coming to save us soon haha. We have to deal with cornhole bush, this recession, this set of legislative ideals till jan. 20, 2009.

[krugg21]

Tony Rezko who gave Obama a great deal on his house and donated 300,000 dollars to his campain wasn't convicted of pollitical corruption ? Oh yeah, he didn't know that he was corrupt. Mrs. Obama didn't try to get a 1 million dollar earmark for her hospital,huh.

[krugg21]

..."you have the right to remain silant, any thing you say can and will be used against you in the court of law"...

[Tajforever]

Obama has already proven that he is NO push over Krugg21 so knock it off buddy.

He's taken the best punch from the Clintons and the REPUBLICAN PARTY!

By you wishing "your Next President" to fail is wishing yourself and country to fail. STOP!

[krugg21]

WW3 is probably about to happen and it will probably hit home. Do we need a person who was a junior senator for only 4 years to be the leader during this ?

[dlxsfBRUH]

So let's just pick a president who has "foreign policy" experience (even though he said Iraq wasn't a danger zone anymore) and forget completely about the financial crisis going on.

We MIGHT go to WW3

We ARE going into a depression.

SO LETS JUST DO DA SAME EXACT PLANZ DAT MADE DA COUNTRY FALL IN DA FIRST PLACE RITE???? Yeah, smart idea.

[krugg21]

What are the plans that caused this ? You tell me. So you think that we can spend our way out of this problem? You know how Mccain said that raising taxes would make things worse ? Turns out that Obama figured that one out too, he is going to let the bush tax cuts expire. Tell me what Obama is going to do that was better than Mccain...details please.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Lets see. DEREGULATION. GIVING TAX BREAKS TO JOBS THAT SHIP OVERSEAS.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE, OBAMA IS AGAINST THESE.

You know that deregulation doesn't work, when Al fucking Greenspan said it failed.

Little known fun fact, deregulation and trickle down effect got us in the Great Depression. What helped get us out? Regulation.

[krugg21]

So you think that the government should babysit buisness ? If a buisness doesn't know how to run itself should it be proped up by the government ? That isn't america, that is China. You must love the government. Buisness like people should have personal responsibity, not the government telling them how to do shit.................SOCIALISM­....I'm broke, I'm not headed out to get wellfare!

[dlxsfBRUH]

So it was socialist when regulation ended child labor?

It was socialist when it helped get us out of the great depression?

I also love how you completely ignore everything else.

[krugg21]

Great point...World war 2 ended the great depression because it boosted manufacturation not the government telling buisness how it should do shit. And child labor is just straight up wrong, the government should inforce laws. That was a really stupid comparison.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Hahaha, can you comprehend english?

"It was socialist when it HELPED get us out of the great depression?"

WW 2 wasn't the only thing getting us out of it.

Regulation of business's has been used since the 1860's, and has never failed.

Show me when deregulation and trickle down effect has worked. Your supporting something that you don't have a clue about.

[dlxsfBRUH]

I want you to look at my favorites, and click on the one that says "I was wrong! al greenspan".

Then maybe you can make an informed opinion.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Robert Rubin and Summers was essentially responsible for the financial crisis we are in. And reagan of course.....

[Tajforever]

Keith didn't have to do a dam thing for people to register democrat. Bush, Mccain and that dumb chick Palin took care of that. They even made republicans change over to democrat! How bout that.

Our 1st black President..Barack Obama!!!

[krugg21]

Obama is going to be pushed around by his own party... watch

[krugg21]

I don't hope he fails, but thats all we are going to get when we voted a guy just because he acted out great speeches wrote by someone else. I bet alot of people can get on stage and act like they mean what they are saying. So, once you think about it he was just acting. The teleprompter works great don't it! Did people actually vote for Jon Favreau?

[Tajforever]

If you put it that way then Mccain should have studied harder in acting class with the person who trained George W. Bush!

Stop crying already you republican!

[krugg21]

They way Obama is headed he is going to be impeached before his second year as president. How many of Obamas buddys will end up in prison? One is already there and another just got arrested. Pollitical corruption isn't a good way to start off a presidency. Damn, he has hit the ground running hasn't he !

[Tajforever]

"President" Obama was offered a bribe by that Governor and did not bite the bate. He doesn't play ball with dirty politicians. Obama could've let that Governor make a speech at his DMC convention party and didn't. That shows there's "NO" conection!!!

You're just another lame dude wishing for a black man to fell. It won't happen!

We all have a friend or family member in jail. Be real..

Obama will go down..but as one of the best Presidents EVER!!! Keep watching.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Compared to McCain's use of an earpiece? LOL. you aren't even using actual issues as a reason to dislike someone.

Obama was the only candidate that proposed regulation of business's, so he was the best choice of the two forced options....

[krugg21]

Sep 21 08 Long Island New York...MSNBC liberal talk show host Keith Obermann was spotted offering oral sex to men for them to register as a democrat. Sources say he was also kissing the ground that other liberals had walked before him.

[dlxsfBRUH]

LOL I'm krugg and I think I'm a conservative but have no clue that every "conservative" that I support is the complete opposite of what one is. Every neo conservative is left of the spectrum but I don't pay attention to any of that.

Most of the "conservatives" I support also voted for the patriot act.

[krugg21]

Why would people care about the government wiretapping phone lines unless they are doing something illegal. I guess you think terrorist have the right to communicate and and plan freely in our county ? You don't want another attack prevented, do you ?  I notice how Olbermann loves to be able to tell us that another sodier has died but but he has never even honored a single name. Its like he goes " Oh yeah another death, point for me". He is a big fucking loser.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Yeah, like they actually just listen to "terrorists". Even though we basically are terrorists our selves. Whats going to happen next? Unwarranted arrests on "terrorists"?

Big Brother is not protecting America, it's turning into a police state.

I don't care about olberman.

[krugg21]

You think that its better anywhere else ?

[dlxsfBRUH]

What? That doesn't make sense. So anyone that's not white should be arrested for being a terrorist? That's the way it's working right now.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Type in "Patriot Act: The war on civil liberties"
