- Ljiljani, on 03/13/2008, -25/+380I'm actually glad that Hillary is running just because it is uncovering the Clintons' true corrupt and sleazy colors. Hopefully she tears down all her chances to hold any future political positions.
- rzxc, on 03/13/2008, -18/+273I kind of get the feeling that the Ferraro incident was planned by Hillary. I think this is Hillary's new way of attacking Obama. She won't attack Obama directly anymore. She'll have supporters do it for her. I think the change was prompted by the party's reaction to her comment that McCain is more suitable to be Commander in Chief. I think the super delegates basically told her to knock it off, or else they would vote for Obama. In fact, Bill Richardson, who served under Bill Clinton, actually said that there needed to be a positive campaign after March 4th, and the party should get behind whoever was ahead after those primaries. I think the implication of those comments is pretty obvious, and I do think those comments had an impact. Hillary's own comments have been more subdued recently. But in the end, all the Clintons know how to do is sling mud, and if they can't do it, they'll get someone else to do it.
- JlmAWP, on 03/13/2008, -15/+262God, I love Olbermann. Hillary needs a wake-up call, and if she doesn't take this as one, then she's finished. Actually, I think she's pretty much finished anyway.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -14/+236Olbermann rules. If more people in the mainstream media had half of the nuts and guts that this guy did, the general public might not be so blissfully unaware of actually how insidious our government is.
- reuscel, on 03/13/2008, -17/+165When I first heard Olbermann was working as a political commentator a few years ago, I couldn't believe it. He has proven to be an eloquent and passionate speaker, and the more I see him, the more I respect him. Someone needed to call Hillary out. I'm glad it could be someone with such a powerful voice.
- JlmAWP, on 03/13/2008, -10/+139How constructive. Stay under you bridge.
- staxofmax, on 03/13/2008, -9/+90I'm not. Her candidacy is creating so much infighting that it's killing the Democratic party. Thanks to her we'll all have to get used to saying "President McCain" for the foreseeable future.
- ProjectGSX, on 03/13/2008, -6/+86Sounds to me like Keith is trying to do Hillary a favor. Its obvious her campaign has been run into the ground. The choices they are making are repeatably bad. She seriously needs to get things under control over there, or just drop out.
- madctch, on 03/13/2008, -16/+85Pwned
- lpmiller, on 03/13/2008, -1/+58I dunno about planned, as it's not the first time Ferraro has said something like this. But she sure didn't run away from it, and is more than willing to use it.
When you want to be president so badly you sabotage your own party, you want it too damn much. - 10lbhammer, on 03/13/2008, -1/+54huh... worked fine for me when I dugg your comment down!!
- seans9, on 03/13/2008, -16/+58Take that hilldog
- Nastjuid, on 03/13/2008, -7/+45I need to watch K.O. more often. Every time I start feeling like people are voting blindly, and no one says anything about the bad politics, Keith blows ***** up. I guess that's why they call him K.O.
- ZionicIon, on 03/13/2008, -2/+37Funny, She is the reason I hate politics and I DO follow them...
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+33Put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard....

War is not a laughing matter... - madfrogurt, on 03/13/2008, -6/+39Good to see Olbermann jump into the democratic campaign with both feet. I only hope that he keeps Obama honest to himself when he nabs the presidency.
- feebie, on 03/13/2008, -7/+38Olberman explains his gratitude towards Hillary at the beginning of the video, and continues on with a feeling of betrayal by the Clinton campaign. I don't see how that's O'Reilly-esque.
Did you watch the video? - insomniac8400, on 03/13/2008, -0/+29Her problem is that she can't be in this race and have a positive campaign. Mathematically she cannot win. She has lost. By staying in she is hurting obama and the democratic party. And to top it off the super delegates are letting her. The super delegates could all pledge for obama and end Hillary's madness at any time.
- mddawso, on 03/13/2008, -15/+43While I don't always agree with everything he has to say, I really enjoy watching him speak.
- kansai22, on 03/13/2008, -1/+29Geraldine Ferraro is that you?
- meninostongue, on 03/13/2008, -1/+28There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Clinton. There are even reasons to vote for her. Her gender isn't in either list.
- jayzer, on 03/13/2008, -0/+24*to whom?
Also, it's a tip of the hat to his idol, Ed Murrow. - hipnerd, on 03/13/2008, -4/+28He is practicing the lost art of oration. Look at the great speeches by JFK, Martin Luther King, Lincoln or Olbermann's hero Edward R. Murrow -- they chose to elevate the language while communicating their ideas. Today, most seem to settle for being "folksy" and a "regular guy."
I've seen a "folksy" politician try to make a speech. No one will ever quote him except to comment on his lack of eloquence and intelligence. - JlmAWP, on 03/13/2008, -13/+37*your
I hate making a good point, then looking like an idiot. - Enasni1212, on 03/13/2008, -2/+25As far as I can tell, the Rabid Grammar Nazi is a creature that goes after mistakes born of ignorance, not mistakes born of typos.
- dn11, on 03/13/2008, -1/+24What if she tears away the nomination from Obama, and then loses the election. That's a bit too far for my taste - just for her to make a fool of herself and "show her true colors".
- Ukonu, on 03/13/2008, -0/+22As a black man I feel there may be a small kernel of truth to what Ferraro said but, in the end, it's clearly racist in context. What if Clinton wasn't a female? Would she get the woman vote? What if she wasn't a former First Lady? Would she even be considered a viable candidate? What if Obama wasn't a great speaker? What if Clinton was a black woman? Would Bill have even won presidency after entering an interracial marriage? What if some other arbitrary thing was changed? There's an infinite amount of variables that could be "changed" and result in drastically different elections. An objective, non-biased, and logical person would realize that fact and simply step away from petty conjectures and "What if?" ideas. Ferraro decided to ignore all the other hypotheticals and target the race based one in an attempt to be divisive. Add the fact that she's repeatedly brought this up (see her previous comments about Jesse Jackson only being in a past presidential race because he's black) and you see a pattern of race based hypotheticals that becomes a no win situation for any black candidate. So why even bring it up? Aren't they all supposed to be in the same democratic party?
It's become some kind of new defense mechanism for whites to automatically roll their eyes and start screaming "don't play the race card!" whenever their race based comments are criticized. For every black out there who actually is unfairly playing the race card there's a white unfairly playing the "persecution card". It's always the same: "Bla bla bla....woe is me....I can't give my opinions without them unfairly attacking me....blacks have it so easy they don't have to be PC all the time....***** is just a word why do they get so mad.....freedom of speech....I'm so damn logical and smart and nobody can handle it...bla bla bla...". Most of the time, both cards are just B.S. - madfrogurt, on 03/13/2008, -1/+23Must be a conspiracy at Digg to appease the Obama supporters. Or you know, it just got popular quick enough for the "popular" choosing prgram to choose it.
- KraftDinner101, on 03/13/2008, -27/+48Someone just detonated that snuke in her snizz.
- Oysterville, on 03/13/2008, -2/+22Just because you cannot see the person for who they are and the content of the character, doesn't mean that the rest of America is so inhibited.
Signed,
White Guy Who Can - ISmokesDaPot420, on 03/13/2008, -2/+22Hateful and repulsive? Posting about a political race is now hateful and repulsive? Says the person who just generalized me and how many other people as "loony hatemonger zealots"? GTFO, kthxbi.
- JFPerreault, on 03/13/2008, -5/+23Oh, Billary! You are so lucky Elliot Spitzer is a creep, otherwise this would be a much bigger problem for you. Thank you, Mr. Olbermann, for not using empty rhetoric and speaking frankly on an issue which so desperately needs to be addressed.
Erin g'Obama
and Happy St. Patrick's Day. - nht007, on 03/13/2008, -6/+24I'm as pragmatic as they come, but here's my impression of patburket1980:
"I perpetuate the downward trend of intellectualism by denying the importance of vocabulary past the level of usage by lolcats. Please digg me up!!!" - fr0ng, on 03/13/2008, -16/+33He should run for president. After Obama's term is up, of course.
- mattbeetee, on 03/13/2008, -4/+21Spreading the brain cells a little thin, are we?
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+17I'm no doctor, but I think her menstrual cycle began a long time ago.
- dinot, on 03/13/2008, -2/+18*pat pat*
It's ok. I hear ya brotha. - lpmiller, on 03/13/2008, -1/+17oh I'm so tired of these posts. It got on cause it got on. It's the thing now. Deal.
- meromasta, on 03/13/2008, -1/+17Does anyone remember when the media was saying that the african-american democrats would not vote for Obama because he wasn't "black" enough?! Now they're saying that he's getting all the african-american votes because of he is, gasp, black. Go Figure.
Regardless of this whole race thing, which I think is just distracting from the real stuff, like issues on economy and the war, I know that I will NEVER vote for a candidate that has received the most amount of money from the Military Industrial Complex than all the other candidates.
Regardless of the gender or whatever else superficial or physical, I can't bring myself to vote for someone that has the amount of shadiness HRC has. From her being on the board of Walmart and not protecting the unions nor women rights, to accepting "donations" from foreign identities with their own agenda to being part of the DLC... I can never vote for her.
And as for people bitching all the time that all they see is Obama spam... why don't you submit your own stuff? Why don't you AVOID this article and others like it? Why don't you read something else? Why don't you use your filters to only get what you want? Because you get a kick off leaving negative comments and seeing the reactions. That's pretty pathetic and it speaks volumes on what type of person you are. - ncc74656m, on 03/13/2008, -0/+16What's interesting to me is that he's basically said "I wouldn't take you if you were the last qualifying human on the planet."
- WasabiBomb, on 03/13/2008, -5/+20A bit of a nitpick- if he was truly a "partisan hack", as you put it, he wouldn't be denouncing Hillary... since she's a Democrat.
- sigmaman2, on 03/13/2008, -5/+20Here here!
Olberman '16! - inactive, on 03/13/2008, -5/+20Didn't he also bomb a pill factory in Somalia, Africa and kill 60 people?
- landosystem, on 03/13/2008, -1/+16You either didn't listen to the video or missed the point entirely...
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -1/+14Yeah, they'd never have time to address the latest Hollywood scandals.
- TheAtomicMoose, on 03/13/2008, -2/+15I'm taking that sexually.
- mythicflux, on 03/13/2008, -1/+14We can only hope...
- alittleroy101, on 03/13/2008, -3/+16Bill was one of the worst presidents of this country? You must be kidding. You don't have to like him, but to put him down as one of the worst in our history is just asinine. In your own words: Grow up, wake up, and do some research.
