Keith Olbermann's 9/11 Commentary on President Bush. Comment

[jasmin5592]

I miss Keith Olbermann, he spoke the truth.

[listerone]

Hey,Olberboy....how's that new gig at The Cooking Channel workin' out for ya? Bwahahaha!

[jstories65]

Olberman on Palin: "Stop politicizing 9/11" LOL! What a joke Olberman is, as this droning BS where he has more hatred for Bush than for the Taliban, yammers on about the Twilight Zone, and claims it's a lot of people's fault but somehow only mentions Bush's name. Deranged, slobbering, hate-filled boob.

[darkwarriorkane]

@jstories65 That makes sense Bush is more to blame. He knew about the event or at least the plan a month in advanced and did nothing

[mkhaas]

I'm looking forward to the ten year anniversary of 9/11 when Olberman slams Obama because ground zero is still just a hole in the ground. Somehow, I don't think that will happen.

[CommodoreCronauer]

Hahahahaha, watch at 3:55.

Now who does he sound like??? Rush Limbaugh perhaps, Oblermann needs to shut the hell up.

[Shonem]

There goal was to take down the towers and kill many Americans (no matter who you think did it), and they succeeded.

The people will never come back, but we can rebuild.

That's what is great about humanity, no matter the tragedy everything we made can be remade.

[knoose]

...arg...

its always like he simply reading

a speech and TRYING to mean what

he is saying...

[LewDaCrys]

I am a huge fan of Keith Olbermann. Why is it so hard to believe that a sports anchor can also be well-versed in matters related to politics or the economy? Who designed those limitations, and why do people accept them in these modern times?

[bigboyjerome]

isnt he a sportscaster? i dont see him having any business with stuff bigger than what he can comprehend. nothing of what he said made sense. but, as what i said, he's a sportscaster so he's clearly out of his league.

[mjag4242]

As opposed to Bill O'reilly's start on Inside Edition? Seriously, if you're not going to listen to what the man has to say, just shut up so we don't have to hear your ignorant whining.

[bigboyjerome]

o'reilly over keith? heck, yeah! o'reilly authored several books, most of em becoming bestsellers.. so, inside edition guy with several books over football idiotboard reader? anyday!

[ranma2222000]

yea, Those Who Trespass was one hell of a book! heck yea!

[Shonem]

Bigger than he can comprehend?

He lives there, friends of his died there.

EVERY American should know about all of this, if not in depth, then at least have an idea.

[zyphoid666]

Hunter S. Thompson was a sports writer who ended up being the most widely read political journalist of his time (not to mention he almost won the election for sheriff of Aspen County).

Clearly you're just talking out of your ass.

[DanOblacksmith]

Ability to read a teleprompter and deliver the script of the day fluidly from his puppetmasters should not be confused for depth of personal intellect or breadth of vision of this talking head.

He is just another stuffed shirt posed in front of a teleprompter very much like another stuffed shirt brought forth from nowhere to woo us all from the puppet stage podium with a script provided from the shadows...

Olbermann is such a substanceless skidmark on the american scene spouting bullshit daily

[wad5859]

i don't think this guy likes Bush very much, it's all the president's fault. when you look at the blame for 9/11, you have to get out a very large blanket, it starts with clinton and aclu for letting these people in the US and letting them study their terrorist tactics. it wasn't something that took place in a day, these terrorists "studied" this plan, yea keith, start there, and vote for liberal hillary and even a more liberal obama!!!!!!!!!!

[greenday1347]

Brilliant commentary.

[Mockni]

keith is a left wing nut. he hates o'reilly and new conservatism.

[jdkjm07]

Amen Mr. Olbermann.

[wlvaiii]

I agree with maxangst, but I have to say, I "used" to love Keith. Does "Special Comment" mean "Editorial". Where is the "this station does not necessarily agree with or endorse the comments of this individual" Keith we've already forgiven you.

[homer30]

United States is a good example of 1984

[psykotrol]

Its some sort of sick, degenerate fusion of 1984 and Brave New World. What a shame its become, I used to be so damn proud of my country.

[dashpowers22]

He is a God.

[Faeden]

Isn't it a sad state of affairs when people see honesty and tolerance as liberalism, and think they are right and conservative because they support hate intolerance and ignorance?.

[maxangst]

I love Keith, but the Lincoln quote was not appropriate. If anything it proves why we haven't rebuilt yet. We can't just throw something up there. It might be a good thing to let it stand as a reminder of what we went through.

[rjeffery1]

Very powerful video. Thank god someone else out there is telling the truth about the Bush presidency.

[popularwar]

I love this clip. I've seen it at least ten times and it always gives me chills.

[thetoadwarrior]

He talks forever. Keith needs to learn to be short and concise.

[wdchrismon]

Hell of a talker that man is; A Churchill of modern times.

[derkaderkaa]

it is beyond belief that someone could claim that olbermanns only talent is throwing papers..

he is brillient

[Akaruchan]

I cannot agree more. Keith Olbermann is one of my heros.

[IlliniJake]

It is beyond belief that this asshole has a television show. While Bush and Cheney are bigger assholes they do not get an hour a night on a neglected and forgotten cable channel. Fuck off Olbermann.  Throw some more papers around. That is your best talent.

[wwegirl17]

lmao, you are so right.

[hitmanperry]

ok, so someone finaly had the balls to say this on tv. Whats taking so long for you dumb redneck yankees to do something. Trust me when i tell you the whole world hates the USA, every single other country out there.

[Jboddriver]

redneck yankees? That doesn't even make sense.

[joha841]

At 1:30 he criticizes Bush for using Ground Zero as a background for a phot-op when he's got Ground Zero in the background. What a load of horse shit!

[davidmiska]

i guess you dont get it.let me explain. bush is trying to sell the war on terror by leaving the hole in the ground. this is cheep propaganda. this is wrong. whereas this guy is simply doing his job by having a relevent backdrop. that is simple journalism.

[markdcarter]

"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists." -J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director 1935-72

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, US president 1953-61

[Silberdachs]

Remarkably erudite. It's a shame he is not your President. At least there is one honest media man left in the dictatorship formerly known as "the land of the free, home of the brave"... I was beginning to have doubts. Wake up Middle America! Look at where your selfish, parochial, irresponsible, gas-guzzling, greed and apathy has led you. Your President is a cowardly criminal and you have only yourselves to blame. May your God forgive you... nobody else in the World is going to.

[linda254]

I really believe that Olbermann is the only truly honest, responsible newsperson allowed by MSNBC to comment. He gives me some hope for the future of this country.

[aces3123]

Olberman is laughable...blaming Bush for 9/11...what an asshole. He's a liberal bastard guilty of treason!

[linda254]

You are not only gullible, but you mistake sincerity for being a liberal. Of course, no one could put up a memorial because all the human remains have not been unearthed. As weeks go one more remains are found because Wall Street had to get up and running so that the $ would not crumble after the neocons blew up the WTC.

[linda254]

You are an ass-kissing hate-monger. ARE you a personal friend of Kissinger? Olbermann is the only newsperson who poses the question (although he hasn't said Bush Cheney et al blew up the WTC) why are these people in government. BUSH CHENEY are liars, you are a liar, you are uninformed and you are guilty of treason because you support the cadre of treason.

[tracer740]

My, my, my! What would you extra-chromosomal cretins do if your third-reiche, spin-meisters hadn't predicated their opposers with the term, "liberals"?

[aces3123]

shut the hell up with your liberal garbage! Thank God for President Bush! DOWN WITH LIBERALISM!

[linda254]

I am progressive, you are a stooge.  God, is offended by the liar Bush. Whoever you are you are not informed. If you are a Rep. shill, I hope you are being paid well for posting your garbage.

[ilmlin]

Novus Ordo Seclorum, New World Order. It's says so on the back of all American paper money. 1776 written on the bottom of the pyramid is for the finalization of the Free Mason Control of the Federal Reserve Bank! NOT the Independance of the American people from the English. Old agenda, very well planned.

[jerentitus]

i remember that episode lol twilight zone rules

[jammasterjayfan]

This news reporter speaks the truth here, Go to hell bush and take your assclowny dictatorship of an adminstration with you.

[etgiroux]

As a canadian, all I can say is I love America...to visit and to spend money there...at the same time I cannot ever like GW Bush...I cannot understand why someone would like this...oil warmongering monster!

[wwwcoginkcom]

H.J. Resolution 24 is a bill currently going through Congress and the Senate which is trying to Amend the 22nd Ammendment which states that a person can only serve 2 consecutive presidential terms. Bush wants to stay in office past his 2nd term. Anyone remember the Star Wars saga? Episodes I-VI? Similar situation just on a planetary scale.

[linda254]

OMG, I did not know that about Bush wanting to stay in office. They tried to do that with Reagan, if you are old enough to remember. That was one wise thing that FDR did. I suppose he forsaw the future of the U.S. I will write my senators and rep. to veto the bill.

[skivosa]

9/11 was an inside job. Watch "Terrorstorm" on Google and wake up. We ARE a step away from a dictatorship with this new torture act.

[burntheskies]

oh snap.

i mean i am just an average joe. but we have been separated as a people for some time. made to run around like ants and lose focus on what matters and put focus on things superficial and even absurd. more concern over whats in their new ipod then over where our country is going. pressed from birth, you'd be surprised how many people disregard, dismiss, and descend upon a new age. i live across a moat of ignorance. dont give me a fixed deck and wonder why i cant win the game. . .

[jarhead66]

The best part of George W. Bush ran down the crack of his mamma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress. What a complete waste of skin this douche-bag is. See you in HELL George!

[gellman]

A brown stain on a mattress is still better then Keith Olbermann.

[jarhead66]

As a Marine Corps veteran I am outraged over this administrations conduct in the war on terror. They have made us less safe from terrorism and use lies and fear to keep people voting Republican. I was with him in the invasion of Afghanistan, but when we went into Iraq he diverted from the true war on terror. Now Islamic Extremism is spreading around the world faster than it can be eradicated. Good job George, good job!

[jarhead66]

Keith is great. He so eloquently states what many Americans feel. He is a great American and Patriot. Patriotism is more than following leaders blindly. It is questioning their policies and actions when one disagrees. This administration tries to label those who disagree with them as unpatriotic or traitors. The real traitors are those who unquestioningly drink the kool-aid of these neocons and their sycophantic shills.

[johnnie11364]

all i can say after seeing this is "amen"... let the truth reign...i wish they would how this in every high school, university,and public forum in the world..

[kody352]

I lost a niece, a cousin, and a childhood friend on 9/11 and on top of that the recent health problems from breathing the air that day, and I feel the same as Keith, betrayed by the administration.

[kinumedo]

When will this govt. end the milking of the fear related to the events that occurred on 9-1-1? I have no fear of the "terrorists" that are purportedly lurking around each corner as we are so endlessly told. Ridiculous.

The true terror lies within the inability of those in power here in the US to truly listen & SERVE it's citizens, but instead to keep us all in a state of constant fear, and for what purpose?

Control of a capitalistic democracy = control of all the

bling.

what a shame.

[YTLovesJihad]

When will you wake up and realize that there's more to life than your little hole in the ground you call "life"? That's right. You won't. But bray your ignorance on youtube and you're the man! Learn to speak Arabic. You're going to need it.

[JollyMunkie]

I didn't know American's could be so honest. Yay for you Yanks.

[hkl]

Living 29 years without--until this--running across a Yank forthright about his opinions?

That's even more remarkable.

[TheRideOfPaulRevere]

HELP PREVENT DOMESTIC TYRANNY Call your Senators now! Tell them "NO" on BILL 2453. The Cheney-Specter Bill (S. 2453) will legalize warrantless domestic spying by the Executive Branch. The Bill will also permanently legalize warrantless eavesdropping of all communications As well as legalizing the data mining and the profiling of U.S. citizens. In effect, the legal concept of "Probable Cause" will be eliminated from the Constitution. WWW.BORDC.ORG

[caseywe79]

God bless Keith Olbermann!

[Aramink]

Bravo! So few whose words can actually be heard by Bush, Cheney, et al. have actually said anything close to this. I salute Keith Olbermann!

[littlerich]

Most reporters try to talk as though they know more about things than the average American, which, of course, they don't. This commentary is sincere. It comes from the heart, and so goes to the heart. I know I join him in telling Bush to get off his ass and start leading the country in healing.

[hkl]

I agree with the first and the third of those four sentences.

Heart is easy; head is more difficult. At least for Mr Olbermann:

Take time to walk into a law office/courthouse/university law department and ask a lawyer to explain to you how practicable the following would be:

I: The Federal Government --exercising right of eminent domain-- seizing the 16 acres of private property, in order to expedite construction of a monument in accordance with Mr Olbermann's specifications.

. . .

[hkl]

Failing that

II: The White House exerting pressure on the site lease holders to do its bidding.

Have the lawyer/judge/professor explain how Congress, the Courts, the electorate and the press of all colors are likely to react.

Do please let us know what the lawyer/judge/professor explains to you.

Never mind how it makes Mr Olbermann's indignation and implied demand appear.

[hkl]

PS: I think I concur with the fourth sentence as well.

Mr Bush ought to propose to leaders of the other side that they get together several times a week, even for just banter over breakfast, tea or dinner.

Partisan bickering and legilative stalemate, after all, is like tango: it takes two.

And if ever the gesture is spurned--let's hope not--then we'll know which side refused to dance.

Have a pleasant week ahead, LR.

[Havaneseluv]

Will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches of our time!

[tvwatcher35]

Well said Olberman. I am glad he told the truth because its long overdue.

[kody352]

Olbermann is one of the few true journalists left.

[tba2287]

Keith is the only one out there in the MSM who's willing to speak the truth. CONservatives call is "liberal bias," but to quote a certain funny man from Comedy Central, reality has a well known liberal bias.

[markflora]

BRAVO!!!! BRAVO!!! AT LAST SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE!!! Mr. Olberman is a true American.

[blackbird107]

I love the video of the "Twilight Zone" because it's so true. If anything goes wrong we need to find someone to blame. If shit happens it's not my fault but someone else and we need to find them and kill them.

[KDANTEATER]

The real point is that people can be brainwashed into fear. They fear the lights and turn on their own people, their friends and neighbors. Our nation must learn a lesson from this episode.

[SieranHachnette]

Umm, no, I meant their GROUND ZERO episode, as I clearly stated above... Search "Penn and Teller Ground" on google video.

[SieranHachnette]

You can find it on google video. I'd post a link, but it won't let me. Olbermann is good at pointing fingers, and that's good, fingers should be pointed... unfortunatly, he's chosen to point them at the wrong people in order to press an agenda... it's too bad he can't posess more conviction and be genuine... he might be respectable otherwise.

[SieranHachnette]

Watch Penn and Teller's "Bullshit" episode on ground zero, it more thoroughly explains what's going on there, and contains interviews and and actual references.

[213millst]

You mean their 911 conspiracy theory episode? It has nothing to do with this. They have nothing in common.

[SieranHachnette]

Fearless? What reason would anyone have to be afraid? It's not like the Dark Brotherhood is going to slit his throat in his sleep... Seriously, we're guarunteed the right to free speech, and you treat him like a hero! This guy hasn't stated anything new. Fact is, everyone was already thinking it.

[mollywobbles0928]

But, no one said it such a broad medium as he did.

[KineticTalk]

We need this kind of fearless criticism.

[blujackit]

See, whenever you voice an opinion thats contrary to the power in charge, you are a lefty loon or disrepectful. Thanks so much for proving one of the points.

[hkl]

The day Mr Olbermann acquires the same coherence of argument and conciseness which Cokie Roberts, George Will and Sam Donaldson effortlessly display is the day he earns the respect of (at least some of) those who disagree with his conclusions.

Eloquence and passion do not amount to much when one simply rambles on, jumping from one point to another, in the same monologue. The only people you end up "convincing" are those who already agree with you (see the comments above for proof).

[Halifaxion]

I like how you hold up the biggest fluff peddlers in the television news business as paragons of real journalism. What, Katie Couric didn't make the cut? No Stone Philips either? It's sad that you think television prompter readers are telling you anything close to the real story.

[hkl]

You must be reacting to something else.

Try again.

[KDANTEATER]

The mainstream media in America does not even report on the genocide in Darfur, rather following Angelina's baby and Michael Jackson's trial. Analysis and objectivity have been replaced by entertainment, fear and partisanship. Journalists should not be silent towards any leader no matter what political party the leader may belong to. Thank you Keith for speaking your mind as a great journalist who respects free speech and disagrees with those in power should do.

[hkl]

> Journalists should not be silent towards any leader no matter what political party the leader may belong to.

Indeed.

And judging from all the major broadsheets as well as the major TV networks, they aren't--one needs a counter to keep track of all the exposé and critiques I come across everyday.

Which newspapers have you actually subscriptions to . . .

[Immortalone1]

The grounds where the Gettysburg memorial was owned by private land. So please cut with the privately owned bullshit!

[gellman]

It's privately owned, it's privately owned, and it's privately owned!!

Got it jackass?

[Halifaxion]

Wrong, Jackass. The WTC site is owned by the Port Authority of the State of New Jersey. It's privately LEASED, publicly OWNED.

[SieranHachnette]

Regardless, it doesn't fall under Bush's direct jusrisdiction, and it shouldn't. "take back the memorial" is the group that should at least coordinate the process, even if they don't conduct the designing themselves.

[SieranHachnette]

Not to mention that they've already blown through numerous faulty designs because of poor coordination with the highway department. The latest design is underground museums under the "footprints" and a reflecting pool covering them... I say leave the footprints and rebuild the towers exactly as they were. This is America, and we're still doing things as we did before. It's the ultimate in "fuck you"s.

[deamonkharn]

Since the LMDC is a goverment funded body they have a responsibility to the public to get things done. New York's Attorney General, Elliot Spitzer even classified the LMDC as a failure in its capacity as an agent for rebuilding lower Manhattan.

[deamonkharn]

Any plans that do get passed by the PANYNJ often then get rejected by Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. If I recall the current debate is between the WTC Towers Memorial, Memory Foundations as well as a few other alternatives which are having problems getting pushed through the works.

[deamonkharn]

Although the administration may not own the site, I suspect they are more than capable of bringing down enough political leverage on the ownership to get something done with the property itself. Part of the problem is with the clashing of government bodies leadint to indecision. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey requires the replacement of all the commercial space and public streets,limiting other possible land-use designs.

[SieranHachnette]

Bush doesn't administrate the reconstruction of the site... it's owned by a private owner who leased the land... Larry Silverstein. Then governor George Pataki took over the project in cooperation with the LMDC. Get the facts right, and maybe at least try to cite some FALSE evidence Mr. Olbermann... Asshole.

With them the problem lies.

[kody352]

I'm glad Olbermann spoke the truth, those cowards over

at "Faux News" are to hungry for ratings to do so.

[deamonkharn]

Do not push gellman, and please do not take him as a representative of the conservative viewpoint. He attacks the person presenting the argument rather than the argument itself. Although I do not always agree with Olbermann's stance on subjects I feel using Ground Zero's image was appropriate based on the context.

[insanechicken]

Thankfully, no one (at least not me) really thinks that gellman represents the true conservative thought process. I believe that true liberals and true conservatives are smarter than a lot of the pure bashings of simple idiots who only listen to one viewpoint and then cite it as fact. I'm a liberal, but agree with you deamonkharn.

[deamonkharn]

I agree with Olbermann that the grounds are going to waste. It is tragic that this has continued to be true for 5 years. The administration should replace the rotted grounds with a grander defiant structure, or at very least a proud memorial to honour those lost. It is shameful they have been left to rot for so long.

[88wildcat]

Pearl Harbor occured on Dec. 7,1941. The U.S.S. Arizona memorial was not completed until 1962.

[deamonkharn]

True, but there were countless other World War II memorials constructed prior to that time.

[linda254]

Yes, are you speaking about the huge memorial in Washington, DC dedicated on May 29, 2004. Then, of course, there was the Korean War memorial that most people don't know exists which was dedicated 7/27/95. Bush will be buried as an honorable, trustworthy president before the lamented memorial for Gulf War II is erected and the truth comes out that his administration planned the implosion of WTC asa a pretext for invading Iraq.

[aces3123]

so you're another leftist conspiracy theorist who believes the Bush administration planned 9/11? another nutty liberal who sees the terrorists as the good guys and sees the Bush administration as the bad guy...truely treasonous!

[linda254]

Well, I am calling Bush what he is: a liar, fulfulling the agenda of the PNAC. This whole pretext of getting into a soft Iraq was so that the military will have a base to launch an attack on Iran and Syria. O, you didn't know about the plan to attack Iran? PNAC plans.

[aces3123]

so now you're siding with Iran and Syria who support terrorism? you make it so clear you suppport terrorism. You're a treasonous liberal! Bush lied about nothing. Your rhetoric is ignorant and serves no purpose!

[linda254]

YOu are a LIAR. Bush lies everytime he opens he mouth. He doesn't know what the truth is. He is a puppet of Cheney and the neocons, Wolfowitz, Kristol, Rumsfeld and the signers of the PNAC. Don't worry the world will be ended by 2040. There is no excuse for the BUSH CHENEY killing the people in the WTC on 9-11.

[linda254]

Don't tell me that that I am supporting terrorism. You are supporting terrorism by not condemning Bush Cheney Rice Rumsfeld Wolfowiz Kristol for there BOLDFACE lies about Iraq. Bush Cheney et al blewup the WTC. They are the terrorists. They want to take over the world with Gold OIL and Dominance. G.O.D. John Dean, as his book suggests, "This is FAR WORSE than WATERGATE." Stick with degenerates and you are going to burn in hell with them.

[aces3123]

President Bush and Cheney blew up the WTC LOL...you're a liberal nut...yeah thats President Bush...i mean u always hear him talk about how he wants to take over the world..what you are is a far left liberal treasonous, terrorist supporting airhead! No one takes the far left seriously. You're a total embarrassment!

[tracer740]

You airhead lemmings are a cancer on the face of democracy and the Constitution that once supported it. Enjoy the hell you have helped create for this once-great nation...

[JonathanDotSt]

gell, you're a hoot. Care to cite some of the lies of Olbermann?

[gellman]

Yeah, how about his inane position that Bush is somehow responsible for the lack of a memorial or new building. What kind of crappola is Olby shoveling to you lefty-loons anyway? You idiots just eat up anything as long as it bashes Bush.

Oh and gottta love they way he exploited his dead friends just to further his petty attacks on President Bush. Talk about having no shame. How dare you Mr. Olbermann!

[JonathanDotSt]

Gellman, I'm not going to censor your comments as much as I disagree with them. I feel people need to see your stupidity. But if you do something like wish Keith dead, I will delete that.

[gellman]

Well, I do wish it but I'll keep that to myself from now on.

[Rooktoven]

Compassionate conservatism personified... Though you _do_ admit there was a lot of toxic dust--which is a start. Too bad all the compassionate conservatives rushed workers into the area telling them there was no threat.

Yes Keith was speaking the truth. That's why the fascists have their panties in a wad. It's like garlic to vampires.

[Hotpotatomash]

rook, you are too hard on the bush adminisration. they just agreed to put up $75 million to help our sick heroes and first responders to 9/11. i thought it mighty big of them to put less than we spend in a 1/2 day in iraq.

[gellman]

Speaking of fascists, how about Clinton and his thugs trying to pull a mini-series off ABC? Geez, what happened to that freedom of speech stuff all the lefties scream about? Only if it's the liberal view right?

HYPOCRITES!!!

[Rooktoven]

Freedom of speech is me saying you are an asshole. My opinion. Libel is me saying You had sex with your mother on the courthouse steps (if you in fact didn't). You see, we have a problem with lies. Fascists have a problem with truth. It's pretty simple.

[gellman]

If you (meaning liberals) "have a problem with lies" then you wouldn't even watch Olbermann. Yes, it is pretty simple. Liberals are hypocritical assholes and the real fascists.

Simple indeed.

[blackbird107]

Ummm yea they tried to pull it off because it was all bullshit. I mean even the Bush admistration said it was bullshit.  It was made to produce emotion not to show truth which is what they should have done.

[insanechicken]

No one tried to pull the mini-series. The attempt was to get ABC to correct the fiction, and actually present FACT to the nation about the true "path to 9/11." At least Clinton has owned up to his failures in not killing bin Laden. Bush only likes to blame others.... How do people still trust him?

[gellman]

"No one tried to pull the mini-series"

Yes, they most certainly did. Moreover, I didn't see many Dems complaining about Michael Mooore's "F-9/11" when that was released.

Like I said, hypocrites!

[abbyroadme]

I saw this last night and loved it! About time someone spoke up about how things have not changed.

[hkl]

Err . . . many have made the same argument way before Mr Olbermann did -- many with coherent arguments presented concisely, thus intelligently, thus with credibility.

Read more widely. There are limits to hearing only what one already agrees with.

[Rooktoven]

The most powerful commentary I have ever heard.

[gellman]

I guess you haven't heard very much.

[Rooktoven]

I've heard a lot of lies lately. The truth is rare. Hence the power.

[malmapus]

Agreed, don't forget there are still that 28% backwash that still drink the kool aid and refuse to believe the Emperor wears no clothes.

[gellman]

Truth eh? That's what you think Keith was spewing? Sounded like another I-love-to-hear-myself-talk, narcissistic rant to me.

Btw, did you catch his faux-anger over the President using ground zero for photo ops while he was doing the exact same thing? What a lame, hypocritical piece of shit Olbermann is.

[ohnoanotherputz]

Yah, but he was using ground zero to show that it is still there and shouldn't be. There is a big difference.

[gellman]

Oh I see, it's okay if the left-wingers politicize 9/11.

Gotcha.

Btw, Keith is lying when he says he lost friends in 9/11. He doesn't have any friends. Who could like a pompous ass like him?

[insanechicken]

Boy, that's a mature response, saying someone couldn't have friends. Trivializing the loss of life on 9/11 in an attempt to sound "cool" only makes you sound like an immature fool who cannot post rational thoughts gellman. I feel sorry for you.

[gellman]

Well, if you like Olbermann you should be all set with trivializing 9/11--As he did by standing there at ground zero and giving his stupid, self-righteous rant.

Fuck him and fuck all you morons who watch that douchebag. I wish libs would all move to Europe.

If you define "truth" as "agreeing-with-you" and "anti-Bush"/"anti-Republican", then Gellman above is right.

Numerous intelligent people --presenting coherent arguments concisely, passionately and convincingly, whichever side each takes-- are in broadcast and print media. Evidently, you simply don't read widely enough.

Proof of the limits of preferring to hear out and hear only what one already agrees with. (see definition of "truth" above)
