Keith Olbermann special comment: Barack Obama FISA bill

Keith Olbermann offers a special comment on Countdown. Keith criticizes Barack Obama for supporting the FISA bill regardless of the telecom immunity provision. Olbermann also explains how Obama can redeem himself by leaving the door open for criminal prosecutions. The immunity only covers civil cases, but provides no protection for criminal cases. When Barack Obama is president he can have his Attorney General the crimes committed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzales, etc.

Ralph Nader sounds better every day that goes by. lol change

So you'd still vote for someone who compromises his principles for votes. Just remember, you get what you vote for. Unfortunately for me (Ron Paul supporter) I get what you vote for too. This legislation is just another small erosion of our civil liberties. But hey, we'll see how much he changes for "we the people" when he's elected president.

Dude, are you an IDIOT?! Keith Olbermann was the BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO MSNBC! After that incident w/his suspension and all the fan outcry that brought him back, they were NEVER going to make him go!

He left of his own accord. Because he did not care for how the network was run. He talked about it on his new show in his first episode. Look for the Cpuntdown Web Extra w/the founder of Daily Kos. He explains it there.

i would love to see oberman speak without a Telepromter..........does this guy actually have his own opinion?

[tttfrenetic]

Olbermann speaks like a scud missile.

[noxidereus]

lol. Since you asked... My IQ is 140. That's well above average. I have no desire to be like Olbermann. I like his show and I challenge you to show me where he gives factually incorrect information the way that Fox News does.

Just because you disagree with Olbermann doesn't make him wrong here. All I'm hearing from you is name calling. Got anything substantial to say, or does name calling pass for logic in your mind? Facts work better. Your comment amounts to word diarrhea.

Have you ever checked your own intelligence at the door? Wait, the cocierge said yours left with you small ambitions to be be like Keith Olberwoman. The man who won't have anyone on his show to have to joust with. His debate skills are null. Why do you defend this mindless twit of a human-wanna-be. He has the wits of a 5 year old. He will be retired as the laughing stock of MSNBC before long.

Olberdick are you ever going to go back to ESPN. Sports is the only thing you can fathom. Your brainless bitch attitude is what gets you in trouble. You are a dick.
