Keith Olbermann: Some Words on Freedom of Speech

In one of the best Olbermann commentaries I've ever heard, he savages Newt Gingrich over his attacks on freedom of speech in order to combat terrorism.

I really strongly agree with Keith here. Keith's speech is incredibly libertarian. I wish Keith would have Wayne Root on his show so Wayne can blast the Republican AND Democratic Parties. I've also noticed that Olbermann often refers to HL Mencken, and is not ignorant of history. ...Good for him. Newt Gingrich is a fat ignorant bastard who has no clue what limited government means. ..Wow, just got to the part where he mentions the Manchurian Candidate. Awesome. Obamanchurian_Candidate LOL

You mean like the major news networks and the current administration? Or the talks of "shutting down Fox News"?

I realize this is WAYY back in 2007, but I doubt Keith O would point the same finger at his Marxist Overlords..

@chuckle2010 Sick of hearing the truth, I am not surprised.

[CondorDM]

@RREDDELL No your the joke.

[mykol13v]

Do you have an overbite?

[chuckle2010]

I'd rather hear the simple unbiased truth than af series of big words.  Olberman needs to be fired already.... I'm sick of hearing this blowhard.

[RREDDELL]

Keith, you failed @ ESPN. You are failing at MSNBC. Do yourself a favor.  Get of the air and get a job that you might do ok in.

lol you sir are a JOKE.

I have always thought Olbermann is as hyperbolic and much an ideological pants-shitter as Bill O'Reilly, but you really have to give him the credit he deserves.

Whoever writes his editorials has language and rhetorical skills wildly beyond the troglodytes at FuxNews. Those imbeciles just scream a sermon at their audience.

Olbermann at least makes the effort to form a fucking argument. Let's see Sean "Choir Boy" Hannity form an argument!
