Keith Olbermann on Donald Rumsfeld (8/30/06)

[MegaCriswell]

i love keith olbermann, he doesnt take any shit off the rightwingers and calls them on their crap.

[dreamlogicc]

that murrow quote at the end is really nice!

[kidrock119]

it's no wonder he gets ZERO ratings.

[NDIRISH2288]

Keith Olbermann is a douche.

[taylnstorm]

Brilliant!

[Mojorising7]

Keith Olbermann, a Cornell Graduate at the age of 20 year old, for PRESIDENT!

[dog1010]

The New World Order will never come to pass due to good old sloth and the simple fact that planet Earth as a whole has gone past its used by date.

We are doomed, floodings, heatwaves and cutting down the amazon forests.

We are all screwed

[jamenolan]

Shuttup you wimp

The NEW WORLD ORDER is almost here. You will all be slaves and whores. Your masters (the elite) will rule.

Don't worry, you will still have TV and sugar laden foods.

Assholes

[thejewishsailor]

This guy is eloquent... but is completely irrational, he's a partisan flamer of the most transparent kind. O'Riley is just wrong about a lot of things, but he's trying to defend what he thinks is right (no matter his frequent misconceptions)... Olbermann is just a partisan, so is Hannity.

[nqqqwj]

Saying that we have a fascist Administration, not our enemys. Interesting. Before he says something like that he should try living under the rule of Hussien or Al-Qieda. Olbermann, may I suggest sticking to sportscenter. Or better yet, invite Bill O Rielly to your show. You would never do it in a million years. The reason FOX crushes MSNBC in the ratings is because they are out of touch with everyday Americans and in this case, out of touch with reality.

[kuonankrma]

This man spits fire way to go!!!!

[topcat42]

Has Keith Olbermann EVER had anyone on that dissagrees with him? I have yet to see one person. O'Reilly hs them on his show everynight. Maybe that's why O'Reilly creams him in the ratings

[cbmtrx]

I'm fed up with neo-con republic**ts selling their snake oil with fear and hate, and skewing the truth at every opportunity to serve their sophomoric socio-cultural shortcomings.<br />

If you haven't yet figured out how and why the current administration is performing a disservice to the United States, you must resolve to change your perspective and strive to become an educated, constructive member of society who will choose active responsibility over passive cynicism.

[cbmtrx]

Excellent. Someone is finally in a position to talk some sense about what the f**k has been done to this country--not by the so-called "evil doers", but by the major p**sies who call themselves our leaders, hiding behind the power of their words and the weaponry of war because they simply don't know (or care to know) how else to face the reality of a situation that calls for more than "courage" and "conviction".<br />

GI Joe is incapable of detecting nuance.

[Kawasizzle]

I applaud Keith .. any other people that still havent figured it out .. Aaron Russo - Freedom to Fascism . We Will take America back .

[Kawasizzle]

I ask you all .. Do your own resaerch and do it objectively .. Wake up ! .. Keith is passionate , articulate and you assholes thik this a fake Reporter or the things addressed here and in many Reports Keith gives ,,, It is Facism .. and I fear for us all .

[UDJennifer]

WOW!! That is what news should be!!!

[Glady23]

Bravo Keith! Bravo!

[worldofyoga]

Although I am two months late seeing this, I am grateful for having watched it--post Donald Rumsfeld. He's gone and Keith Olbermann hit the nail squarely on the head. Bravo for bravery in the media. Interestingly in just the few days since the election, I have seen the media begin to criticize the war and the administration more openly. To bad they didn't have the guts Keith Olbermann has.

[EmuKing]

war is peace / ignorance i strength / freedom is slavery / Rumsfeld is Olbermann

[Skeezy727]

DeviousDeception i mean...

[scatman44]

"Dissent and disagreement with government is the life's blood of human freedom..."

[stochastikos]

my comment was for 'deviousdeception' it didnt put it under his comment for some reason though.

[bijolo]

Great response. Ran across this comment the other day and it was made about Lord Beaverbrook who was on the side of Neville Chamberlain. It was writen in the 1940s by Vincent Sheean. Beaverbrook like Rummie claimed all the answers, And Neville and he was wrong. " lord Beaverbrook had the queer belief ... that things can be made true by saying it repeatately." Sounds like what the Bushies are doing.

[IDzineM]

Yes, it is becoming more clear that people are beginning to wake up to the tactics, frauds and treasons this current administration has been practicing. Oh, there are still a few apes, beating their chest to scream "Might makes right", but even a pile of turds emits a foul stench until it has decayed thoroughly.

[edisonoside]

I noticed a trend with Rumsfeld. Remember the handshake with Saddam? Now it's known that Rumsfeld helped N.Korea with its nuclear program. Is it a tactic of theirs to "help" the enemy in order to attack them later?

[areu4me2luv]

Thanks to Mr. Olbermann, I can breath easy knowing that there is at least one other person in this country with the guts to speak out againt an imbecile administration; at least, now I know that I am not alone.

[srobert3470]

Thank you Mr.Olbermann! It is a mystery to me that so many people can't see how dangerous this administration is to our democracy. Any one of the hundreds of immoral, illegal acts that Bush/Chaney have perpetrated against our country would have had any other elected official immediately impeached and imprisoned and yet they just keep going along spewing their lies and trying to keep building fear in the population.

[Waltomatic]

I see no discernable argument here. You say that Olbermann "is critical of the government not allowing criticism while he himself is...doing just that: CRITICIZING the government" Yes. It is well understood that he is being critical of the government. That is, if I'm not mistaken, still legal in the United States and even encouraged in some circles. It is not, however, ample support for accusations of fraud or hypocrisy.

[DeviousDeception]

How is it not "ample support for accusations of fraud or hypocrisy" when he's accusing our government of being evil and undemocratic and yet sitting in a vivid democracy where people are free to vote against the government if they're not happy with it. Democracy, as it is now, is about the rule of majority. Thus, Olbermann is sitting there and arguing against democracy and is therefore a hypocrite (saying that he's an advocate of the aforementioned).

[omega33655]

Vivid democracy? Vivid facism i would say. Like Olberman himself says, anyone who disagrees with these people are considered confused and immoral?

its always easier to be arrogant than to think outside the box.

your intolerance for a criticism of our own government shows how much you truly believe in its laws

[stochastikos]

i find your name very fitting.. your out of your league by the way.(and only fooling yourself)

[DeviousDeception]

I expected this type of reaction - you can always criticize the reps. but never the dems here on YouTube. Saying that I attack free press, fooling myself and that I'm "way out of my league" when stating something most Americans would agree with only goes to show the elitist democrat mentality that keeps the dems. from power (i.e. we're right, you're wrong). Olbermann does comedy and punchlines, not serious debating where opposites get to try their arguments against eachother in a fair debate.

[Kaguyua]

It funny how some people attack free press when one of America's forefathers could be considered the father of American media.  Ben Franklin was very liberal for his time. Don't believe me? Go to the American Literature section of a library.

[gellman]

Keith only does these "special comments" because there are a lot of "special" people (i.e. far-left, liberal loons) who jerk off over it.

It's done to court the lefties who are the only dimwits who'd watch his pathetic show.

[freekatiep]

Thanks for confirming exactly what Olbermann suggests, namely that supporters of the current administration avoid having an intelligent discussion about it in favor of calling any dissenters "dimwits" and "loons". Why not say what you really think? No doubt it goes something like "liberals have cooties! nah nee nah nee nah nah!".

[Imabloodyhuman]

The Sad thing, DeviousDeception is that EVERYONE outside of America feel exactly the same way as Keith Olbermann, and we don't use patriotism to justify a useless, warmongering President.

[Skeezy727]

you are a moron.

[ridedirtba]

everyone has the right to constructively criticise without reprimand.he is simply making an observation

and stating the obvious.WAKE UP!

[jonnyXbrainless]

Go Keith.

I wish we had someone in the UK on the main channels who would do what he does. All we get is right wing protheros and government parrots.

[leeemo]

Really? I hear you guys have better and more fair news than us. Bill O'reilly (a right wing guy) claimed the BBC was a dangerous left wing network.

[jonnyXbrainless]

I'm aware of O'Reilly.

Most political pundits here are pro government or idiots, no free thinkers at all.

[wwjerry13]

Wait!  He just told the truth!? WTF!? Why is'nt he fired yet!?

[wolfsangletreu]

What kind of fucking shit spew is this? IS THIS FUCKING NEWS? Hell no - the fucking liberal bastard is a traitor - he out to be fucking executed for his stupid fucking rsnt

[gregmb81]

You are the traitor. You are the one who would take away liberty in the name of fear-mongering. But hey, what's a little hyprocasy amongst right-wing nuts, eh?

[darrenpenner1]

i see you were one of the children left behind. Your intellect is overpowering.

[cbmtrx]

Oh shutup.<br />

Go learn how to do something constructive.
