So where are all the people who bitched when he did this to bush bitching now becuase "you can't talk that way about the president" I guess they meant their president what a country

[MiniRtist]

@darkwarriorkane Seriously?? There are far too many who attack him, on both sides of the aisle. Personally, I'm glad he's fair that way. He respects this President, but will call him out when he believes it is necessary. I think more people need to get their heads out of the whole "My team or die" bullshit and care about the country and the people IN IT.

[darkwarriorkane]

@MiniRtist I agree with you my point was this proves those peoples argument was a crock they didn't care about the president just theirs personally I think keith is the only real news out there. Yes he may get a little long winded but all in all I like his style

[MiniRtist]

@darkwarriorkane Ah. I see what you mean. They're the same ones who didn't care about deficit spending when BUSH was doing it. Agreed.

[darkwarriorkane]

@MiniRtist exactly I use to think these people were just proud americans who didn't want to see any one denigrating those in command during a war. I could of understood that. However to see that is was more political in fight just saddens me. Once a little under ten years ago we were united together and now it's back to business as always. Why is it only tragedy that unites us. 

[MiniRtist]

@darkwarriorkane Because they feel it is THEIR country, so their "team" should always be in power - even if it means the destruction of democracy and all this nation stands for. And that, my dear friend, is twisted.

No decent person could possibly object to this. Well said Mr Olbermann.

The courage to speak the truth, used to be merely the mark of what it is to be a man.

Now, sadly, it is the mark of what it takes to be an American hero.

"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."

Thank you Jackie Robinson for the epic quote and thank you Keith for this poignant special comment!

Well said. I am always amazed how a political party supported and supposedly drive by religious ideals is so quick to turn away from “the least of us.”
