[bayondai]

what douche this guy is...

[icnonlylisen]

three tv networks keith?.

four! counting hollywood celebs.

more like 10 networks got caught in " spread the wealth

Keith preaching his usual hate against himself and others.

[OrionSamson]

Keith Doberman...

Sorry couldnt resist...

[OrionSamson]

Ummmm What if Obama said said something like "57 states...."

[SwampDog1957]

Keith Olbermann...... the other human waste!

[ugboy1]

Go Olbermann Go!!!! Call those right wing crazies out!!!! They really are hate mongers!

[Americaisgreat123]

What if Keith Olbermann would stop being a lapdog to government statists?

What if Keith Olbermann would dare allow a conservative to speak their mind on his show?

What if Keith Olbermann would at least try/pretend to be objective and report the other side(s) of the issues?

What if I'm just dreaming?

What if I'm just talking to a wall?

What if Keith Olbermann were an intellectual coward? Well, he is.

[ugboy1]

Oh please O'reilly shouts at anyone who disagrees with him, you can clearly see him swell with rage the moment someone offers a dissenting view to what O'reilly believes.

[Americaisgreat123]

The main difference in O'Reilly and Olbermann is that O'Reilly is willing to have liberals Democrats on his show to debate him. Does Keith Olbermann ever allow a conservative to come on his show and debate him?

Also, O'Reilly is much more entertaining. Olbermann tries to be funny but is never. He is the most annoying NFL Sunday sports commentator. He is neither funny or informative.

His ratings are pathetic. He struggles to get a million viewers while O'Reilly gets like three or four.

[Mrmoc7]

@Americaisgreat123

Olbermann is funny to intelligent people, and Oreilly gets more viewers because, for every smart American, there are two dumb Americans.

[Americaisgreat123]

@Mrmoc7

First off, I don't watch O'Reilly. I don't have cable, but I do watch John Stossel and usually side with him when he debates O'Reilly.

I agree with your characterization that for every smart American there are (at least) two dumb ones, but I wouldn't exactly consider Keith Olbermann, a man with a B.A. in communications, and his audience that eats up his raging insults, to be intellectually curious either. Olbermann is even worse than Beck when it comes to these issues.

[Mrmoc7]

@Americaisgreat123

Really? Worse than Beck? Really? ...

[Americaisgreat123]

@Mrmoc7

Yes. Beck is much more into educating his audience and shoves books down their throats every week. I recently read on a blog that he did a show on F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom.

[Mrmoc7]

@Americaisgreat123

No, what Beck does is deliberately shove misinformation into his audience's head, may be because he's being paid to do it, or because he himself is a butthead. If he asked his audience to read Hayek's Road to Serfdom, I'm pretty sure the only reason is because the title aligns with his paranoia that Obama's administration is about to turn Americans into serfs. By the way, Keith Olbermann also invites several authors on his programs to discuss their books.

[Mrmoc7]

@Americaisgreat123

Olbermann is a liberal, that much is clear. Yet, you will rarely see Olbermann deliberately invent *facts* to support his arguments. I've seen him apologize on at least three occasions when he felt his show misrepresented something and unfairly tarnished someone, or when he felt one of his sources was problematic. Beck would NEVER do that, partly because most of his sources is his imagination.

[kablamo9999]

Amazing clip. Thanks for the upload.

[mrp326]

Wow

all I can say

[mantle31]

Yes Keith and conversely what if it was Senator McCain who associated with terrorists and had a running mate who keeps changing the income threshold ceiling number which defines the rich from the middle class? Consider what if it was Senator McCain who called Iran a small country?

I will support Obama because he is now the President-Elect but can you say you did the same for George Bush Keith?

Keith should stick to telling sports scores and lamenting about Fred Merkle.

[morphinemaple]

He didnt because Bush was obviously a moron, even to my fellow republican friends. Obama is smart. Yeah theres a lot more to it, but its easier to support someone who is very together, intelligent, and so on, even if you dont agree with him, then some jock yokel who failed in every business venture he ever ran.

[Nerdylation]

Obama's "terrorist" and his group killed 3 people, themselves. Bill Ayers is a survivor of a "terrorist" Group that bombed Statues and empty building, not people.

In 2001, he Apologized to a man, Richard Elrod, who had been injured in an attack.

"They were remorseful," Elrod said "They said, 'We're sorry that things turned out this way.'"

How many "Terrorists" can a victim say that about?

I would call him a Vandal, a Radical, a Criminal. But not a terrorist.

[Chslosers]

I agree, iran is more dense than england and france, if either was trying to make a nuclear weapon, we would be nervous.

[Idun81]

Olbermann has a point: It is just amazing, in a VERY negative way, how all the mainstream media in the US tried selling McCain to the voters at any cost. It is like CNN, FOX, NBC etc. were paid by the angry psychopath McCain and his puppeteers.

[kevinlangs]

Wow, based on the comments I realized that this is a lot more than just picking from two men to be Pres.

The comment also reminds me that there's more to this election than two men running for Pres.

My hope is that our great nation will put the elections negatives behind -- no matter who wins -- and try to reunite this really polarized country of ours... so we can be great again, which can't come unless we do it together!

[tenacity18]

iiiiii like it.

just voted obama/biden.

[bodah44]

brilliant Olbermann, if Obama had made any of ther mistakes McCain has made it would be over, that reverse isn't true show that there arre still many problems with America and that the liberal media is a myth

[DRV275]

Obama has had to tread a close to perfect line these past few weeks, and he almost has. I'd give him a 9.5 out of 10 but I'd give McCain and Palin no more than 2. Obama has been the one telling us what he wants to do whilst McCain has just been almost constantly on the negative.

[iamthatguy25]

Spot on Keith...

[RozMW]

Wow, Obama is right. America HAS changed. This is a conversation, a commentary that happens with ALL "minorities" in the US when comparing them against "the privileged" (John McCain is a good representative of the privileged American). It's nice to see that America is waking up and actually "seeing" the unfairness. Thank you Keith.  Thank you, America.

[metzgerbeans]

"showed us"? seriously?

[atvfreelife]

okay, we get it, there is a double standard. Big surprise. He forgot the worst one: imagine if senator obama had a 17 year old daughter who was impregnated by her 17 year old gangbanging boyfriend (remember, palin's daughter's boyfriend described himself as a redneck on his myspace page). He would have been DONE instantaneously

[willtoob]

Keith is a lefty mouth piece, but he is right about this.

[atvfreelife]

actually, keith is a mouthpiece for the democraps, NOT for the left. If he was fighting for the REAL left, he would be endorsing the ONLY liberal running for pres: ralph nader. Have you heard keith even MENTION mr nader? i didnt think so. peace over and out. votenader.orgasm :)

[willtoob]

Nader is a nut job that would crap himself if he was elected. He would have no idea what to do, he has no real idea's he's just a critical douche that likes to scream at the top of his lungs (kinda like those two old dudes on the Muppets. Throw away your vote on Nader if you like, that's your right, but don't tell me i should, I'm not that stupid.

[atvfreelife]

really? nader is clueless and doesn't know what he's talking about? well, young man, you OBVIOUSLY haven't watched him speak very often. I wish he would have gotten in the debates, he would have eaten nobama and mcsame alive. The man is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet when it comes to govt power, fraud and abuse. Have you EVER heard another candidate call for the repeal of the taft/hartley act?i didn't think so. do you know what that is?i didn't think so.take care :)

[willtoob]

Just because you buy his trip, doesn't make it genius. BTW- I've been voting for 20 years, how about you? I not only understand taft/hartley, but also realize that it's the last of the things I'm worried about right now. Have I heard him speak?, countless times, I'm from Cali for gods sake, I think he's a dottering fool running on dreams and rainbows and not hard facts about our current situation an world standing both political and social.Don't argue politics with me son, you'll get shredded.

[atvfreelife]

My first election was 1992. Are you serious?? someone that votes for a democrap is going to shred me in a political discussion? lol. how can you POSSIBLY justify your vote? This ought to be good. I have a VERY keen understanding of america and her twisted oligarchy. You are in over your head SONNY :) lol. also, you're cute when you're arrogant

[StraightOuttaDC]

How can you justify yours, Republican? Lol.

[freakofsociety81]

Yeah, what would be happening, McCain supporters who think Republicans can't get away with the stupid crap they are bring up about Obama? Obama/Biden 08

[NookulerFreedom]

Intermission:

watch?v=U776aVG3TrA

Good Luck guys...

[HotLeper]

If Obama was shown as the one pointing at McCain and saying "That One!", it would have been over for Obama.
