Countdown W/Keith Olbermann, Alison Stewart, Rachel Maddow

On Countdown with Keith Olbermann, guest host Alison Stewart talks with Rachel Maddow about the purloined Bush playbook on "How To Manage Dissent and Protesters in Public". 8/22/07
DISCLAIMER:
I 'disable comments' for two reasons:

1) I think the video speaks for itself,

2) I do not see the value in someone commenting, "Keith rulz! and I agree with everything he says", and another person commenting "Olbermann the dork needs to take his Groucho Marx eyebrows and leave on a LONG vacation. He is the most pathetic figure on television. Oh...sorry Rosie...the second most pathetic figure".

YouTube does doesn't give enough space (500 characters) for intelligent comments or thoughtful dialogue.

I believe that we're in this mess because people think that by posting a comment on the internet somewhere, they're civic-minded and making a difference when, in fact, the only thing that makes a difference is commenting where people with power will hear you and fear your removing them from power: Through phone calls and snail mail to your elected officials and marching in the streets.
