Keith Olbermann: Special Comment on Rice's Hitler Quote

[docj09]

So it's not ok for the Bush administration to say that Saddam is like Hitler because Hitler killed 6million+ while Saddam killed a few hundred thousand of his own people...but it's OK for HIM to say that the Iraq War (started under a GOP president) is worse than the Vietnam War (started under a dem president)...even though Vietnam had 67K american deaths and 5million+ Vietnam deaths, while Iraq had 4000 some american deaths to a little over 100,000 Iraq deaths.

[broersz]

hitler did to the west, what the west did to the 3rd world. he gave us a taste of our own medicine. how is he better or worse than any of our leaders in the past or present. besides the holocaust is debatable due to eveidence that there was never 6 million killed, that figure was revised to around 1 to 1 1/2 million in 1989. thats a crime for sure, but so is the ashkanazi jews profeting from the 'holocaust business'.

those who refuse the law of God, shall be ruled over by tyrants.

[johnthesencond]

I really hate how Adolf Hitler is always used with evil. Anti-Semitism i mean seriously Jews are not even that important as there not even a race. America is responsible for more deaths than anybody.

[samirnur]

Teach them history my guy. Truth drips from ur mouth!

[JCameron418]

keith is such a tool. its funny that his ratings are tanking. hopefully he is canceled soon

[GermanStraight1]

@JCameron418

well ... just seen it for the first time and I have to admit .. it was making me laugh ...

SHE ( Condi) went to University getting a grade above F ... loool

Anyhow ...

The statement about getting back to Congress in the aftermath of WW2 was brilliant !

As well as the REMINDER of the fact that the REP party where the once in bed with nazi germany by that time !

Funny how people forget , is it not ?

[Minkki82]

Say what you will about this guy's views, but damn he is pretty funny. Some of those zings made laugh at loud

[St37One]

wow

sadam hussein is not hitler?

is that why they call it an analogy?

did keith pass english?

analogies are subjective, listing a number of differences or similarities is not really an argument.

apparently keith thinks that there are not enough similarities between hitler and sadam, but he is chery picking just as much.

[hkjonus]

This dude knows history.......and uses it like a weapon....which he should!

[gertiecummings]

"Use the Google!"

LOVE that line.

[OldGoochProductions]

the world just continues to laugh at this country

[jumptotheledge]

Actually, Keith Olbermann was 9 in 1968.

[chezbrigitte]

I heart Keith Olbermann.

[1BuckeyeNation]

Olbermann is a joke. He forgets about the Democrats like Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Chucky Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy telling the American people how necessary the Iraq war was.

[snooks73]

Ted Kennedy voted against the Iraq war resolution along with 22 other senators.

[1BuckeyeNation]

You are absolutely right about Kennedy and the number of Senators voting against the Iraq war authorization. Thank you for the correction.

[banklady25]

Didn't Bill Clinton call Sadam the hitler of our time????

[KojiroDangerous]

Obama should make this guy his Minister of Everything if and when he gets into power.

[Kunfusionz]

pwned

[godveir]

Haha, you're really making me laugh.

So you really are that pathetic to try and take me down? Sorry, but I'm not really interested in looking at your profile to try and take you down, it's just childish.

If you think I'm anti-US, go ahead, that's your opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not. I do find the Bush administration a bunch of idiots, does that make everyone who thinks so an anti-US person? And don't try to teach me anything about history, you might get surprised.

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Condi's comments must really have got to his jewishness

[godveir]

grow up

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Stop being Jewish then

[godveir]

you've just proven my point. That was easy.

I'm an atheist. Surprised? Thought so.

Now go play with your Lego

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Atheist, Jewish, it's all the same thing

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

You imply Jesus was an atheist, you realise?

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Judging by your favourite videos on your profile you must really hate the United States

What reasons do you as a Belgian have to so deeply hate the US?

You may want to grow up and stop following the anti-US crowd like some teen who follows whatever is the in thing at the time

Did you even know where Iraq was before the invasion of Iraq or the history of Iraq from its time as part of the Ottoman empire to its incorportation into the British empire to its independence?

I thought not

[godveir]

Mesopotamia, Persian Empire, Alexander the Great's Empire. Irak was part of these before it even got its name. Same goes for my geography. Why don't ask me where China is? That would a similar stupid question.

"Atheist, Jewish, it's all the same thing" this sentence alongside everything you've said just shows how shortminded you are.

How does it feel to be more childish and less grown up than a 19 year old? Because I wouldn't know.

[godveir]

I'm concerned though. How did you put a link between my favorite video's and me being a US hater? I'm kind of missing the clue and I would really love it if you'd be able to explain it to me in your usual rational way.

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

What an angry little jew

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

... draw drops at such a moronic statement.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Condaleeza quoted Hitler???? NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!

Condaleeza - the star of my next video!

Bush scared me all the time, so much I left tv for close to two years, but I'm NOT scared ANYMORE!!!!

Ms. LaReina

Ms. LaReina

[sens45]

As much as people may hate Hitler, you do have to admit that he did have a hell of a lot more power than Bush does now and he also attacked a country that truly did pose a threat to Germany (the USSR). And Hitler also achieved everything without his daddy's help ;)

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

The USSR was big, but the one posing the threat -and who carried it out (crucially!) was Hitler.The US in the beginning of the 21st century is the most powerful military machine in the whole unglorious human history of war.The USSR was one among the several colonies Hitler wanted for his empire,lest you forget the rest of Europe under the Nazis.

[freezzertime]

He is the awsome journalist that "We" the American people desperately need more of.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

I think you meant to say "The Anti-American People".

[MaeglinMiriel]

Get a mind of your own.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

This is just the response I expect from someone like you who doesn't know anything and can't be bothered to learn. A perfect example is Keith Olbermann here who launches into this whole tirade because The Sec. of state said something that was similar to an obscure quote made by a Nazi. What Keith fails to tell you in his tirade is that he supported the gun control act of 1968 whitch was a translation of 1939 Nazi law that disarmed the jews .

[freezzertime]

I....did not know that. But the issue here is her inappropriate comment. Rice's medals and intellect could have made a better comment than that one.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Exactly!!! Keith Olbermann is nothing but a party hack for the Democrats, no different than Shaun Hannity or Mark Levin for the Republicans. These people are all the same they take one phrase out of context and blow it all out of proportion to try and get people jazzed up.

[solostash200]

um ok put her phrase in ANY context that will make it not seem so fucking retarded. if you can do that sir i'll agree to your baseless point.

[snooks73]

Respectfully ducktapecrazyglue, Keith Olbermann was 11 in 1968. I suppose a lot of people supported it if it was passed? Was it passed?  Doesn't that take a majority? Olbermann is a liberal democrat. It sounds like something a liberal democrat would support. Was it a literal translation? What is your source so that I can look it up myself?

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Sorry to take so long to get back to you Snooks73. I will concede your point that at age 11 Keith may not have supported the passage of GCA 1968 However at will bet that he would oppose the repeal.My source was a book entitled "Gun Control";Gateway to Tyranny. It has all of the links to to the library of congress ect.ect. but I have lost it. Should be easy enough to follow up on If your interested.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

To continue:If Keith Olbermann wanted to go into a Tirade about something meaningful, He could have ranted about how the Repeblicans promised to reduce goverment spending yet in two years of Republican control discreationary (non-defence) spending incresed 27 percent.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Then he could do another rant about how the Democrats promised that if congress was given to them that they would do something about gas prices. Well I don't know what Nancy Pelosi meant by "do something" but gas was 2.25 then and over 4.00 with them in charge

[djpitchperfect]

yes he is in indeed my friend...at last i've found a true American!!! (-_-)

[Ductapecrazyglue]

After WW2 was over The winners got together and said "never again" Only the United States has done the actual work of preventing a Sadam from becoming a Adolf. The sad part is that have been forced to fight a two pronged war against would be Hitlers over there and rabid anti-Americans like Keith Olbermann over here.

[mcwashtx]

Ductapecrazy...

Use the Google!

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Why would I want to "Use the Google" So I could link to some blog written by some looser from his moms basement. Mabe I could learn the "Secret information George Bush dosen't want me to know" like 911 was an inside job. I mean relly If George Bush brought down the world trade center,Don't you think he take out a blogger in his moms basement? mabe you should spend less time riding the google and more time out here in reality.

[kcronaldo]

he wont take out the blogger because he knows many americans think like you - not at all - did you even listen to olbermann?

[k2balls420]

It is NOT anti-american to call out asshole gov. officials when they lie, cheat, steal etc. It is the very essence of being a true American. Read the constitution much? Go get a real education.

[blackrainuponus]

USE THE GOOGLE!

[kevjo66]

Devastating. Totally destroyed Rice.

[bigkwilli]

Bush was born 3 months 6 days after Hitler shot himself...WTF..figured it out myself

in other words...numerology speaking 666

[JFLD8]

I normally agree with Keith but why is he soooooo worked up here? I mean I think Saddam Hussein is a better Hitler comparison than Bill O'Reilly. I mean Bill is a jerk but he never killed anyone, where as Hussein gassed and tortured his own people.

[BruGaI]

He's worked up because comparing Hussein to Hitler is yet another fearmongering tactic of the administration. Yeah, Hussein was worse than O'Reilly, but let's get a few things straight. Keith *jokingly* made a Sieg Heil salute wearing an O'Reilly because Bill *seriously* twisted history to make Allied troops the perpetrators of the atrocities at Malmedy.

At any rate, Hussein killed and tortured people looking to overthrow him, which is to be expected from a dictator.

[drewd1987]

"At any rate, Hussein killed and tortured people looking to overthrow him, which is to be expected from a dictator."

Exactly!

[tantzer]

@JFLD8 Oh, Bill O'Reilly (along with most democrats) supported the attack on Iraq, which killed thousands of Iraqi soldiers in 2003. Those soldiers had families. Many of them had children too. The perpetrators (both Republican & Democrat) should be tried for the greatest war crime of all: starting a war of aggression that killed many, destroyed a country, and made refugees of millions of people.

[Donutmangreen]

He is going to escape there to flee war crimes procecution

[supporterofpaul]

I read that Bushie bought himself 300,000 acres in Paraquay. Guess thats where he is going to retire when this occupation of his is over.

[BruGaI]

LOL, I wish you were joking, but I took a glance at your channel.

But to your credit, you're probably right; the German military was a well-built machine and the Bush administration is way too sloppy to be in the same breath as the Nazis.

:: Patiently awaits the backlash for the above comment (if anyone's paying attention)::

[stereoroid]

Ah, so Someone in America knows a little history! The Marshall Plan comparison is particularly incisive; huge as it was, coming immediately after a World War, it STILL had to get past Congress. But Lame Duck-ya Bush & co. think they're above Congress, eh?
