Keith Olbermann cannot tell the difference between volition and coercion

I am not even mad at Keith Olbermann anymore. I only feel sorry for him.

You see, Keith cannot tell the difference between neighbors and friends voluntarily helping each other and the government undertaking to help everybody.

Thus, an elected official who exhorts his constituents to help each other out but who opposes additional federal efforts to intervene in people's lives and jobs is a massive hypocrite.

The debate doesn't need to go any further. If his mind truly cannot process the profound moral and philosophical gulf that exists between those two acts, then it is senseless to argue with him. (Not that anybody has ever argued with him-- I have never seen Keith Olbermann interact with anybody who disagrees with him.)

So leave the Sultan of Smug to belch self-satisfied snark to an ever-diminishing audience. Same goes for his kabuki boy, Chris Hayes. (Although that is not to say I am done posting video mash-ups of the show.)

Easy Keith, the government SHOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT! NO MATTER WHAT!

It is not the care of the government to care for the people medically! It IS NOT IN OUR CONSTITUTION. It is also about CHARITY!

@bizzyb0ne017 Not quite following. If you mean our COTUS then it's not about your question. You have the option to move north to Canada or east to the UK or to the south to Mexico where they have 'free healthcare.' Of course, it's not free at all!

So to answer your question, yes. Because that piece of paper [COTUS] protects us from govt run healthcare and the needless deaths of tens of thousands or more of Americans.

@mcoop221 You value a piece of paper over the life of a human being right? Thats what your statement seemed to me. Yes or no?

@bizzyb0ne017

I agree that Coburn wasn't really being hypocritical, he was just being naive. He was borrowing a common libertarian magical-utopia argument.

In the real world, you can't get every community to be a nice 'traditional' friendly place where neighbors help each other. You will be leaving millions out.

I too am annoyed that Keith only talks to people he agrees with and just gets them to "Yes" his opinions. I still agree with him on most of the general points though.
