My mistake: Keith Olbermann slams "Killers" comment backlash

[Macgulf]

Keith Olbermann is insane.

Troops as victims?

War crimes?

Killers?

I can't remember the last time I saw a US troop strap a bomb to a woman and send her into a market...I can't remember that because it NEVER happened...

Yet the U.S. is the bad guys.

Kiss my military ass Keith Olbermann. I just came out of the field, it's nice and stinky.

[PoliticalssIdiot]

Kerry, there was definatly nothin' he could do to change what he said. He meant the troops, stuck in Iraq.

[gamingeagle19]

Don't forget politicalssidiot, that he also twisted Rosie O'Donnell's quote to defend her. I think he secretly hates america and this is just more proof.

[PoliticalssIdiot]

That's because the population of US soldiers is smaller than the population of Muslims. Think of all the US soldier families that don't do anything bad, same as the peaceful, nice Muslims in the world.

[ODDMANtheone]

Look at it like this - Muslims get slammed because a tiny minority blow things and people up. Soldiers get slammed because a tiny minority rape and torture.

Neither group is very good at slamming their peers for bad behaviour. And unfortunately, the % of bad soldiers is greater than the % of bad Muslims. Cheers.

[girzwald3]

Wow, thats a nice made up statistic =D

[ODDMANtheone]

Thanks. 160, 000 troops. 1 billion Muslims. If the same % of Muslims blew themselves up everyone would already be dead.

[girzwald3]

Once again. Nice made up statistic. Our soldiers arent 100th as bad as the media trys to portray them. So many of the stories of troops slaughtering innocent civilians proved to be false and the soldiers who told them hand picked by the media. The storys of US soldiers slaughtering villagers and hanging them from rafters in a mosque. FALSE. And thats just one of many that were flat out lies.

[ODDMANtheone]

I've never heard of those stories, so clearly they aren't being circulated as much as you think.

What statistic did I make up? Either way, if you deny that too many soldiers have committed crimes against civilians...and puppies, then you are actually doing your country a disservice. The more we know, the more that can be dealt with...and the less likely it is to happen in the future. Of course, it would also help if they weren't sent to fight over fiction.

[PoliticalssIdiot]

Huh, and everyone was saying Passion Of The Christ was too violent.

[akamola]

Do we need to see R-rated violence ???? Yes we do, cause everyone need to be aware of truth, especially if it exposes reprehensible acts commited by people who are supposed to be defending a nation, not smearing its image !!!!!

[tragic8ball]

Olb says that Cold Blooded Killers refers to the US govt. You have obviously already decided that you are going to be PO'd at Olb, so you willfully don't hear what is said.

Sticking your fingers in your ears iis not an argument.

Bill Orielly said twice that US troops slaughtered German troops in WW2.

But Bills your pal so you don't hear that do you?

And yes if troops are sent to their deaths by a govt that ses them as disposable for Halliburton share interests then yes they are VICTIMS.

idiot.

[jerryfoster41]

Vietnam Iraqistan deja vu again 100 more years but they're never gonna win

[bgtrocchia]

Keith was very obvious about whom he was talking, and his clarification shouldn't have been necessary, but in his respect for the troops, and with all the B.S. being thrown at him by Faux News and its puppets, he felt the need to respond. I'd say final score is Keith: 2 Repugnicans: 0. I am getting sick of your smarmy know-it-all crap. If you're so sure the 'MSM' is liberal, try watching world news like BBC or something out of Europe. You'll find it looks nothing like Faux Noise.

[SirFrancis988]

He sounds like kerry after he called the troops idiots. "oh its the administration blah blah blah".

[heartofdrakn]

You are an ignorant dolt. I watched the special comment and at no moment does he equate us soldiers as cold blooded killers. Keith has always spoken up for the troops and has spoken up when Bush and company were manhandling the troops. He sounds nothing like Kerry. Stick to the facts instead of your own uninformed opinions.
