Countdown: Special Comment May 14, 2008 Part 2

[mjwatts1983]

At 5:55 Olbermann wanted to say "Fuck you, Mr. Bush."

Even though MSNBC would've gotten upset about it, it would've nailed the point home further.

[DarthBombshell]

I say let them be upset. STFU is better than Shut The Hell Up to get a point across.

[corgi37]

Keith is brilliant! The fire coming out is inspirational!

[dtdloixnabalu]

He said that, he only do this SPECIAL COMMENTS when he fill angry for a "political analize". He is the best, better then Bill Maher (even if hes not a comedian).

[postmortemstar]

Glad to see Keith is a real journalist not afraid to use the facts to question our criminal leader. Wake up America

[makelelemakelele]

damn I love this guy. Finally some American who can say against the corrupted fucking bush-mass murder assassination coproration or whatever. Im SO glad to live in Europe and supposedly witness another hitler in rise. Vote for Obama and get rid of that asshole.

[drakes5000]

I know nothing about American politics but I suspect from the tone of this guys voice that he is unhappy about something.

[CoronaBeer20]

do your research you stupid fuck, this is your so called president theyre talking about...fucking people, you guys are sad...if this nation goes to shit is because of morons like you son

[drakes5000]

I dont even live in America and he aint my president. You on crack?

[himitsu2]

Unfortunately many Americans believe they are the only ones who come on Youtube or of any interest to everyone else. I'm sorry on behalf of them drakes5000. Please don't think harshly on all Americans because some are arrogant and stupid like mister beer drinker here. Some of us understand not everyone is interested, envious, or even lives in America.

[drakes5000]

I think there is loads of cool stuff that comes from America. But I understand politics in the US is a very touchy subject lately what with the elections and stuff looming closer and this whole war in Iraq.

[himitsu2]

We agree. America is beautiful when you remove politics, McDonalds, arrogance and ignorance (i.e. other countries & what is going on in America).

[echlyn]

Regardless, we all have flawed governments. I'll apply for a nationality in the first utopic country.

[DirectXControl]

agreed.

[CORPARANOID]

Yes MikeyBB, One People, One Mind, Seven->One Day is coming sooner than we THINK! These Powers that Be R Hiding The Truth, along w-NASA. Olbermann is great &brave4 Speaking our Mindset. But be like Foxes & protect your Family/grow Spiritual insight/ get inShape/Prepare 4the 5th World. It's Not the 1 Bush-Elite-Clinton World Order! The Tree of Life is expanding the twin blackHole is Awakening us to One True God, 12/21/2008.

Corp/Wealth/Power &eye of needle. 10+ Commandments &Compassion Win1God.

[CORPARANOID]

Wow! I thought I was pissed off w/Bush Crime Family! Take a deep breath &RELAX a bit. Visualize Bush+Clinton&25+ comrads in Orange Jump Suits &chains being lead in2 a Court Room. Put that out in2 the Universe &it will happen! Then get on2 some good ol' Reporting on The MONEY/Charts Corp/Gov/Infra-structures &White Collar Job Swapping at CEO,Board of DIR's Levels. Let these Corrupt/Unethical Gov/Corp Heads start SWEATING when they SEE their NAMES on your Show. Power Corrupts Absolutely.

[gayelynnmckinney]

We should all be this angry! We have been lied to, scammed, and bamboozeled to our face. Bush even admits it. WOW!! IS EVERYONE JUST GOING TO IGNORE THAT?! Please everyone, lets not put another one with the same plan in office, I believe we have all suffered enough.

[SquireCD]

Mr. Olbermann, you are speaking the truth on behalf of our sad but enduring nation. Thank you, kind and brave sir.

[SolidSnack16]

i loooooooove this man!

[jennbeckner]

Thank you Mr. Olbermann!

[nogesch]

In a democratic state a journalist can tell his president to "shut the hell up".

In a dictatorial country torture is allowed and executed.

Consequently the US is both.

[yodasteveo]

Hear Hear!!

[Filmaker92]

Yeah bush SHUT THE HELL UP!

[mikeybrumbrum]

This man is Good !

Let his fury spread in your mind, until we are all thinking as one.

They conspire to murder. It is human nature, that if the chief of the village is eveil, the men of the village kill him !

People, a storm is coming ! If you seek shelter, it will find you. We must all stand together, against the chief and his strong men.

Think, READ ! Read ANYTHING except newspapers. they are the liers, who confuse your brains. Read books.

One People, One Mind, One Day !!!

[GigaMushroom]

Compared to Bush, Cheney is Einstein and compared to Cheney, Stalin is Jesus

[GigaMushroom]

People all over the country will rejoice when the US' dumbest president is no longer in power. Compared to Bush, Cheney is Einstein and compared to Cheney, Ann Coulter is God.

[daclaw3]

What an idiot djscotto...Everything Olberman said is 100% accurate. Bush is the worst President in the history of the United States. He is an embarassment to the USA. If you don't agree you must be a redneck hillbilly.

[steak2go]

left wing cunt

[thedjscotto]

This is a typical 'Left-Wing Spin' on the entire thing. The fact that this guy's only entry of attack is on a "Golf comment" and his negligence of updated Intelligence just feeds to simple-minded idiots. Do understand, I hate bush, but will I ever be a pseudo-communist "politcally correct" democrack that deceives the public? Never... Keep this facts with you: 10,000+ soldiers died under Clinton, Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Operation Desert Fox, and Operation Infinite Reach... good night kids!

[FlicketyFlak]

first of all, where are you getting this figure of 10000? i just did some research online and found that thats a load of nonsense. in fact, what i am finding is that there were more deaths of military personnel in the first 6 years of GWB's presidency than in the entire 8 years of clintons. if you are gonna have an argument online and be all crazy about it, at least use real facts instead of pulling shit out of your ass.

[watchman1066]

amen

[richmoves]

Olbermann scolded him him, rightly, like he was a 5 yr. old.

I absolutely love the way this was written, in a "f--k it, I'm sayin' it!" mode.I bet Bush wants him so dead right now...lol.

He is the worse President in history, hands down.

[boojwahz]

clinton gets impeached for getting a blowjob, but bush can send 4000 people to their deaths and he gets reelected? wtf?

[thedjscotto]

Yet, 10,000 died during Clinton's presidency... you're officially an idiot.

[FlicketyFlak]

first of all, where are you getting this figure of 10000? i just did some research online and found that thats a load of nonsense. in fact, what i am finding is that there were more deaths of military personnel in the first 6 years of GWB's presidency than in the entire 8 years of clintons. if you are gonna have an argument online and be all crazy about it, at least use real facts instead of pulling shit out of your ass.

[yogagirl53]

I love Keith...Thank you for telling the American people the truth.

[Zorak720]

"See, I dun proved it." That's priceless.

[ResearchX]

Here...Here.. Mr. Keith Olbermann. You are the true American whom we Americans love. Keep up the good work. You sir have balls of steel.

[segits]

Man, this reporter has very reliable balls, and a very astute mind. He won't be anyone's fool no more. He was chosen to speak--God protect him.

in the meantime, let's also consider that there very much can be certain unseen, or very low-key persons who have been controlling Bush from the very top of pyramid(see 1 dollar bill). Though, this doesnt take responsibility off from what Bush represents as an individual and leader.

[LandOfTheBrave01]

Keep this in mind as it relates to the simplicity of impeachment.

We are dealing with an element which has taken control of the most powerful Military on Earth, and used it to over throw a Country. Blindly to some, it may appear to be only one Country which has been overthrown. However, you must remember, our Military was moved first. Foolishness will not get us out of this situation. Relax, and take a deep breath.

That is to say, impeachment is a very complex scenario.

[LandOfTheBrave01]

However, I feel that under the threat of a false flag, it may be imperative for the safety of the public at large, that no action be taken. So as not to trigger any situation that could cause mass casualties amongst the citizenry of the United States of America.

So it is possible, that our safety indeed does rest with the Speaker of the House. It is possible that there is nobility in her in-action. So cast no stone towards her, until more facts can be established.

[Aanthanur]

he shoudnt give up his hobby golf, he should give up his job warcrimepresident

[Aanthanur]

mmh i belive the part about the mushroomcloud above an Amercian city.

this is a false flag that will trigger NSPD-51.

[SSparks555]

We now, as of May 2008, only have 7 months left to impeach. If Bush gets out without impeachment, then he and his people should be put on trial for war crimes. We must send a message to future Presidents that they are and will be held accountable for their actions.

[LandOfTheBrave01]

@SSparks555

It is without precedence, as established under the Constitution of the United States of America, that he be allowed to leave office by any other means but impeachment.

Should the precedence be established,by the date as to which you prescribe,then as a remedy set forth by jurisprudence under the Constitution,which establishes the co-equal participation in said crimes,it is of absolute obligatory standard that the "Speaker of the House" also be charged as a co-defendant equal too.

[CaptainSad]

When are you libturds and moonbats going to learn? Impeachment or charges of war crimes are never going to happen. Just keep up hope. Just wasting your time.

[GWBushsuks]

i hope someday to piss on G.W.Bush's grave after drinking a 12 pk of perrier. like i did Ronalds Reagans...

[CaptainSad]

I guess all Demfuks are the same. No class

[GWBushsuks]

Demfuks? what about Republicunts? makes as much sense and has the same amount of class.

[SergioMomarsh]

If he is not impeached he will never be held accountable in a court of law. His only accountability will be in the pages describing his actions in history books.

[SSparks555]

I agree with your point. However, We need to show the presidents of the future that they are accountable for their actions. Bush, and his people, think they are above the law, as President Nixon thought he might have been. We, as a People, must bring this president back to reality. I only hope that history shows that We were a people who did just that..

[SergioMomarsh]

There is only one right way to do that: amend the U.S. Constitution so that war cannot be enacted or declared unless the commander in chief will lead the fight on the battlefield. No more air-conditioned desk Commanders will be allowed to make war and death while they give up golf.

[SergioMomarsh]

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Ben Franklin

GOLF IS IMPLICITLY INCLUDED UNDER THE HEADING OF LIBERTY.

[SergioMomarsh]

of his moral righteousness if his own life is put on the line in battle.

[SergioMomarsh]

We should amend the constitution: A war cannot be declared, or made, or enacted unless the Commander In Chief leads the army into battle with is own two hands. Never again will a man behind a desk lead our nation into war so casually, and keep us at war so indefinitely. We will either fight and win when fighting is right, or we will not fight at all when a fight should never take place. When the power of a man to make war is decided by his moral compass, he can really only know with certaity

[SSparks555]

I agree with what you said. I must add that the war in Iraq was never declared. We should ammend the Constitution to say, "No more per-emptive wars."

[SergioMomarsh]

Good night has less meaning tonight, good luck is appropriately poignant. I have never heard you so strong Keith. You couldn't be more right. If he can resign from Golf, he can resign from the Presidency. Who are we if we are not free? Who are we if we cannot choose to enjoy a Scottish game on a Sunday afternoon? Our President is a coward. He's no George Washington.

[Turtleproof]

If the "commander in chief" were doing anything close to a respectable or proficient job administering the war he lied to create, R&R in the form of golf would be prudent and deserved. He gave up golf, yet not his many, many, many vacations, even when New Orleans was being wiped off the map?

[LJLongWay]

It was like a skit, a skit where the news should be.

[LJLongWay]

Obberman overstepped in admonishing the President in the tone he took. Especially g

[hypnofan35]

Maybe he should go quail hunting with Dick Cheney and absorb some bird shot. I think he must be mind controlled and is not clued into the gravity of his madness.

[5uper5tring]

victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is a bastard

mistakes have been made, but... Olberman would never serve, let his children serve, or give two turds about a veteran in his personal life.

[Turtleproof]

You're misdirecting your anger when there is a group of craven people in Washington who cry, "Support the troops!" before sending them off to die in a war that shouldn't exist, cutting their benefits, and blaming them for their failures ("forces on the ground have failed to find Saddam Hussein's weapons stockpiles" -rough quote).

[lifesabeachnj]

And why, pray tell, is that relevant? Where are George Bush's combat medals? Dick Cheney's? Where is Condolezza Rice's old navy uniform? Let me tell you something, I will never allow my kids to be suckered into our disgraceful Imperial Legions. But if this nation were ever invaded, I would load them up in the car with me and as many rifles and ammo as would fit and drive to the battlefield. I don't know Mr. Olbermann, but I suspect he might feel the same way.

[zorro130]

I hate biased media. Just tell us the facts, not what to believe.

[LA2CT]

President Bush is the worst President in the history of the USA. He and his administration should be hanged for war crimes.

[BObama2008]

But our president did golf after he let Osama Bin Laden, his associate, slip through the cracks.

[CaptainSad]

Over here I can get away with what I say about the Fab Five and all and not have to worry about the censorship on the other board. I can tell it like it is. By the way Kurt was banned for asking a simple question about being able to read the PM's...

[CaptainSad]

I thought this was a free country. Free speech and all. You can delete all my posts if you want. But Olberheimer the Nazi is a a** h***. Just reminds you of Hitler when he go's off on is tirades.

[BObama2008]

As for the Hitler comment. Who is inciting hate against muslim and people of the middle east. Who??? From someone on the inside looking out, I know. Lots of derogitory and degrading terms for the Iraqi people. So Sad. And the treatment of Iraqi people on many occations, horrific!

Lets not speak of the conditions on the ground before the Iraq Invasion. Like when they had fresh water and 24hr electricity.

[NLPNVC]

4077 Americans have died "for nothing.... fighting the wrong war, in the wrong place, against the wrong people." 1,209,264 Iraqi deaths have been attributed to the invasion of their country. It takes more than one man to kill that many people.

[BObama2008]

This president, YES! I quit golf and skiing after my injuries while Mobilized for the WAR.

[baseclef516]

Exactly.

[leftysergeant]

The comments he made about golf being a sacrifice are pathetic. Just one more indication of his child-like mentality.

How about telling your rich friends to pay their share of taxes to bring down the deficit, pay for the equipment that you are tearing up and the medical care that damaged veterans will demand? Why not let the rich pay for this crap, Monkey Boy?

[RomeoMD25]

Iran is a country whose defense spending is less than 1% of our own; spends less on its military than countries such as the Netherlands and Sweden; has never invaded another country in modern history, and could not possibly threaten us

[khovalyg]

Why does Olbermann keep saying "sir"? bush has gotten over 4000 HONORABLE Americans killed for LIES, for corporatist-fascist death profiteers. Arrest and try the entire administration for treason and crimes against humanity. When officials do not listen to our will, they are WORTHLESS to us.

[DryWetTowel]

lets leave iraq who cares if iran takes over not like Israel matters fuck jews Obama 08!

[Spottyo]

Hello DryWetTowel.

Israel has over 200 Hydrogen bombs, and the single most powerful conventional military in the Middle East. I'm proud that we support her, but I believe she can take care of herself with our continued assistance.

[Will0Wisp]

Was he crying?

[chacheerugby]

RON PAUL 08!!!!!

[CaptainSad]

Olbermann, You are a piece of work. Pull Bush off the Golf course? I seem to remember they tried to get Clinton off the golf course to fry Osama's ass when they had the chance. But didn't do it did they? I think if he got off his ass we wouldn't have had 9/11. But he was worried more about golf and **'s.

[CaptainSad]

Did I hit a nerve with you Demfuks????

[Kingsme19]

Hey Captain why aren't we frying Osama's ass now? Take it as you will but Clinton was working on it. I was watching "inside 9/11" on the National Geographic channel and they said that when Clinton was in office they were ready to help send in Anti-Bin Laden/Taliban troops of Afgh in to take out Bin Laden. Before the strike some pics of the camp he was at had kids toys and stuff. They said they weren't ready to take the heat from killing innocent civilians and children so they called it off.

[d3v07]

FUCK BUSH

[cozmikzen]

GODDAMN HELL YEAH!!

[marineml]

I am a Marine who was on the front line in 2003, and I must say that if you can't see the truth like Mr.Olbermann is constantly talking about, than you my friend are truly a blinded misguided ignorant little sheep.

[Spottyo]

Thank you marineml. It's a real pleasure to meet someone who was in Iraq and also agrees with Keith Olberman. Prior to our invasion to Iraq, I was under the impression that only 1 Al-Queda cell existed in a Kurdish portion of Iraq.

Not until we invaded Afghanistan were the borders of Iraq truly pentreated by feeling Taliban and Al-Queda.

Would you please correct me if I am mistaken.

Warmest Regards,

Spotty0

[gondor124]

Olbermann; the only news broadcaster with the guts to say it like it is. KEIth YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!1. kEEP ON RUBBING THEIR NOSES IN THE MILLION, AND COUNTING, MILE HIGH PILE OF SHIT THEY HAVE CREATED.

[DillonX]

Go get the sorry bastard, Keith!

[Gungrave20]

Keith is not the only one who opposes Bush doctrine. There are others....

[JohnnyGoliath]

Keith is perhaps the only political pundit to actually say what the rest of us are thinking!

He's The Man!

Bravo Keith!

Simply, the BEST!

[skimikaze]

Olbermann is a fucking idiot. and you JG are obviously lost.

[jlassie]

Excellent! Best Special Comment ever!

[joker10687]

Great clip thanks! Also (below): Don't even respond to "bignjp". Clearly it has no idea what its talking about. The genius metaphor with a fire chief and "the soldiers at war support bush"... Real uneducated

[chinde35]

sidenote: that was in response to bignjp.

[murfy22]

powerful stuff. great job Keith.

[jgrig2]

And everybody said Pat Buchanan would be a bad president in 2000, well so serves the country right.

[CharliePATpk]

Is there any wonder why Obermann's cable ratings are where they are?

[TPAUSA]

Keith, You're Hero! -

Thanks for standing up to this farce.

[BKDevious]

Five Stars to you, Keith!

This is journalism at its best.

Amen!

[bignjp]

enough with the pity b.s. you sign up to serve this country, you do not get drafted. if you go to war you have a chance of dying. the soldiers at war support bush.

its like getting mad at the fire chief because a fireman died fighting a fire. he signed up to do it

[chinde35]

When you sign up for the military in this country you are making an agreement to defend her Constitution, her rights, and her freedoms. You also make a pact to follow orders and serve where you are told when you are told. There is a difference between supporting Bush and supporting your Country.

Not all military agree with Bush or even being in Iraq, but every last one of them will do their jobs as Soldiers.

[bignjp]

thats a fair statement

[themikemoe]

AMEN!!!!

[Kerkopes]

November 2008 can't come fast enough for me. I'm tired of hearing how badly Bush sucks.

[miniluv]

Amazing. I love this guy.

[blackwolf1272]

Wow, Bush making up stupid stuff, that then turns out be lies about other stupid stuff made up to cover up stupid ideas which were based on lies in the first place.

People like Bush belong in a zoo behind safety glass and well guarded, kept alive forever as an example.

[kensmomkm]

I can assure you that this grieving mother doesn't care one bit that George Bush gave up golf. I'd rather he gave up his presidency.

Some days Keith Olbermann gives me my only sense that I'm not crazy. His eloquence and passion are an antidote to what ails this country.

Gold Star Mom #818

[RLviddy]

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Keith, you said a mouthful. All of these elements in Keith's comment (parts 1 and 2) were obvious 5 years ago. It was always obvious this war was a crime and little more than a profiteering scam, funded by tax dollars. Who didn't know all of this was going to happen?

[fooblick]

FOUR MORE YEARS!

[ho2cultcha]

wow!  you go, keith!

[orleansorleans]

this was better than sex! thanks for kicking bush's sorry ass, keith. we're so proud of you--and thankful that you speak up and speak out for millions of us. btw--i heard today that there are only 29% of voters who are registered republicons. and to those 29 percent: shame on you.

[logansrun15]

Oh yea, Keith vote Ron Paul your heart and mind will feel better.

[eracex]

The GOP is DOA.

[logansrun15]

Thanks keith we Americans needed that. I hope homeland security isn't kicking the shit out of him right now.

[emmiehansen]

Precisely. Thank you.

[Blondiegrrl]

Ahhhh, Keith! I love this man. :)

[Rashaed]

Keith was on the verge of saying, "shut the fuck up!"

[jammes122]

He hit the nail on the head. I'm sure the grieving families really care that Mr. Bush gave up his golf games for them....

[abbyroadme]

Keith, you are pure GENIUS!!  I applaud you for this brilliant comment.

[sonnadue]

Wow....

[Conrad76]

WOW. Someone on my tv that tells the truth. Good for him.

[thehatbloke]

If Bush wants to show solidarity with, and respect for, those serving in Iraq, instead of giving up his golf game how about meeting the flag-draped coffins as they arrive back into America.

If he can't even acknowledge the war dead, how can he talk about honoring them?

[politiclips]

I want Olbermann to have a nice and long interview with Bush.

Everything KO says here is true. He should post the transcripts to his special comments complete with links to back it all up.

Wouldn't be hard to do.

[swaggajee]

AMEN!!!

[Demonaphia]

He barely kept himself from saying "fuck" at the end there. I would be with him in the sentiment just the same, unfortunate that many others probably would not.

[breakmandx]

(also on part 1), This special comment on Countdown tonight is absolutely one of the most powerful and amazing rants I have ever heard in my life. Olbermann always has a strong and believable eloquency but tonight he just exploded in such a long tangent of truly deep-rooted, heartfelt rage wrapped up just such that he was able to keep his cool and composure despite obvious emotional buildup throughout the rant, it was just something daunting to behold. This man is great.

[juke1906]

Is it gay to love another man...... 'Çause I love this dude.

[Stevietheman]

Anyone who would dismiss Olbermann's truth is unAmerican.

Bush, Cheney and the rest absolutely deserve to get the Ceaucescu treatment!

[Stevietheman]

Bush's War will also come to be known as Bush's Genocide in Iraq.  Thank you Keith, as always!

[HannityIsTheDevil]

damn......keith is the shit

[darkwingduck86]

I love this man.

[ashira2]

Olberman is a partisan hack, just like Bill Bill O'Reilly. Same Kool-Aid, different flavor.

[mrtdot]

wow Keith was mad tonight

[impeachthem]

This is absolutely superb and what tv is supposed to be about in public affairs broadcasting. Thanks to Keith & videocafeblog. For all who see the Bush gang must be stopped now, check out impeachthem . com or write to info @ impeachthem . com - We have the power to save our USA and the world too. Thanks again.

Hutch

[darkally]

well put!

[Bowa491]

So sad, so true. I cried my eyes out when I saw this live.

[dfesta]

he totally wanted to say "fuck"

[CHA0SM00SE]

i love this guy

[drugante]

bar b q'd the shit out of ol' george..my goodness..i never seen him this upset b4..i am glad he is telling the truth...

[nyxie23]

Wow...

[sasha031]

Thank you Keith

[raptor8154]

Damn he went hard.

[mokalvelli]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!
