"get them to print you a t-shirt with "fascist" on it..."

OUCH! :)

[whodoesknow99]

Fascism was proudly defined by Mussolini as a corporate state. Laws of the State to serve their interests. Keith could not be more correct.

Insurance companies are so insanely greedy they have spent millions convincing stupid idiots that they do not need health care, that showing up at the E.R. is good enough and never mind that won't catch life-threatening conditions soon enough, that their daughter's pregnancy is preexisting condition preventing her from buying insurance when she hits 19.

Mr. Olbermann... I think you need a hug.

@IWantDaveKast How about because it's not true?

Fascism is,in essence, when corporations run a government.

Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled cooperatively.We don't have any of these things, do we? No?

Then it's NOT SOCIALIST

Republicans prove historically to be purely facist. They represent the interests of business over the safety and welfare of the public so their constituents can continue to rake in massive profits. Their callous disdain for the environment, their poor record for public safety, their wasteful use of money in illegal wars, and their willingness to lie and cheat to ensure their continued prominence in goverment make them the greatest danger to the people. They are ruthless and unprincipled. and

Because Keith-O thinks it's fine for Democrats to be facist - just not the Republicans. Keith has no problem with facism or government bureauicrats chasing you down and forcing you to buy a health insurance policy or face fines, penalities and jail time, or the government chasing you down with bullets or batons for environmental violations --- just as long as the bullets and batons are in the possession of Democrats. The equation is simple: Gov't+GOP = facism. Gov't+Dems= Perfection; Nirvana.

Funny thing is, the Obama administration is far more facistically dangerous that Bush's admin ever was. I was no big fan of the Patriot Act, but this Obama care and all of it's attendant government intrusion, *DEMANDING* American citizens purchase insurance or face fines, penalties and eventually jail is truly the biggest usurpation of our basic rights since the "progressive" Wilson administration. And Keith-O seem just fine and peachy with it. Keith, it is you that is a liar and a hypocrite too

[ThePelicans44]

The Dumb, Desperate, and Delirious Keith Olberwhooo? This guy is one of the most dishonest, misleading and one-sided nimrods around. This man represents the pompous, stuck up and ignorant to the depth and realities of the situations they are paid to analyze. Instead this clown just spews his republicans this republicans that bullshit all day. It is no shock to see him still pulling the same tricks he pulled years ago

[sammysos21]

Hate speech!

[myfirsaccount1234567]
