Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America

Olbermann takes Bush on for the "Military Commissions Act" and the death of Habeas Corpus.

"And if you somehow think Habeas Corpus has not been suspended for American citizens but only for everybody else, ask yourself this: If you are pulled off the street tomorrow, and they call you an alien or an undocumented immigrant or an "unlawful enemy combatant" — exactly how are you going to convince them to give you a court hearing to prove you are not? Do you think this Attorney General is going to help you?

This President now has his blank check.

He lied to get it.

He lied as he received it.

Is there any reason to even hope, he has not lied about how he intends to use it, nor who he intends to use it against?"

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A RE-FRESH ANY WAYS. THINK ABOUT IT, MOST OF US ARE ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS, LONELY, SUPERFICIAL, IN DEBT AND COMPETING FOR JOBS. THIS COUNTRY IS NOT AS GREAT AS IT USE TO BE, ITS NOW A RAT RACE. MOST OF US ARE SOCIALLY DISCONNECTED SLAVES AND DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO ARE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS ARE. MOST RELATIONSHIPS ARE BASED ON $ AND STATUS. AVERAGE PERSON HAS 4 CLOSE FRIENDS AT MOST. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE FRIENDLY & AMERICANS ARE LIVING IN A BUBBLE. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE RE-BOOTED.

Never really like Olbermann except when he was on espn, but he is spot on in this piece.

Wow! Amazing!

@MrTurkeybird09 I have watched more of this crap than I ever care to so no I'm not regurgitating what others say. And it looks like you're not voting in Herman Cain anymore but it looks like Newt is still available for the womanizer vote.

thay all are the same , one day a good man will come one day a man like ron paul will come,1 day the evil that is in power will try and kill good men one day the evil men will be on ropes there family too that is justice,that will stop evil for a long time 100 years or so.

In my country the government would never get away with something like the Patriot Act.

@timmmahhhh so your saying you have never watched the news and you only dislike fox bc your liberal friends tell you to

[Martianhammock]

@allrightsreserved88 The sad part is, that they won't. People are, seemingly by nature, cowards who are afraid to stand up for what they believe in for fear that they will face social disapproval. This is why people sit back and insist that something perceived as outrageous could never happen, because it makes them less afraid. Unfortunately, by pretending something cannot exist, no steps are taken to prevent it.

@timmmahhhh ... Your comment has the most amazingly creative terms in the history of the universe...

[timmmahhhh]

@akmrmike There is a difference but I agree not as much of one as their should be. If you're not sure about that, Indiana Democrats walked out of the senate AGAIN to defend workers against the fascist assholes pushing for the workers rights crap they passed 20 years ago only to have it overturned when people realized how much it literally sucked for working people.

@MrTurkeybird09 Cool, looks like I hit a nerve with a teatard. "Obummer" is a far more competent leader than any of the Rethuglicant fascist fuck hacks that Fux Spews promotes. Thanks for proving the study that shows that Fox viewers are less informed that people that watch no news at all.

@MrTurkeybird09 I can use a whole bunch of quasi-intellectual phrases too, but I don't want to be perceived as the biggest basementdwelling faggot in the universe.
