- Jimmyb207, on 02/15/2008, -24/+181Yes, Bush is a pathetic liar. He has been a pathetic liar for Eight of the most pathetic years of American history and pathetic American government. Everybody that we pay over there in Washington DC to "represent" us (the people of the United States) has been enabling that fascist puke of a president since day 1. Be scared...be very scared....*****. You. Bush.
- magicmarker44, on 02/15/2008, -27/+138Thank you Keith Olbermann! He is one of the only mainstream media figures who tells it like it is and isn't afraid of losing his job over it... I wish the rest of the media who find their spine like Keith has!
- principle, on 02/15/2008, -22/+103Keith is the lonely voice in the wilderness, but what a powerful voice he is.
- 19wendell48, on 02/15/2008, -20/+71Just why ARE Cheney, Bush and the rest of the maniacal, Neocon, Reaganite paleo-political fossils not yet in jail??????
- GhostyBoy, on 02/15/2008, -12/+58The sad thing about everyone saying he is dealing in bias and partisan journalism, is that he's just telling the truth, and he is actually *watering it down* for public consumption.
- Truzseeker, on 02/15/2008, -13/+52Yes, Bush is becoming a non-useful idiot for his real bosses that has nothing in common with American general welfare.
- tillerman00, on 02/15/2008, -14/+44He basted Bush like a Thanksgiving turkey.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/15/2008, -8/+31Nickelback and Britney Spears sell a lot of records. They must be pretty good too, right?
- InfamousAtheist, on 02/15/2008, -9/+32I'd rather stay and fight for the country I love. America was built by people who fought and died for freedom and the principles they believed in. Leaving for somewhere else would dishonor their memory and everything they fought for.
If liberty is restored in America but it's done by your ideological opponents, are you going to leave? I doubt it, but then, I could be wrong.
I'm not leaving without a fight because I honor and cherish everything this country was built on. - shugdoo, on 02/15/2008, -6/+28 I'd like to make a plea to unevolved f**ktards to lose the "liberal/conservative" football game mentality that is perpetuated by hate radio. Olbermann has never struck me as a stereotypical bleeding heart. He uses his platform to comment on how we are being peed on daily by those currently running the US. If the guilty parties happen to mostly have an "R" next to their name, don't speciously assume those calling attention to their misdeeds are just "Liberals", or whatever nickname you want to assign, to make the occasional cognitive dissonance easier to digest.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/15/2008, -8/+30If one side of the coin is intelligence and the other is stupidity then yes, you are absolutely right.
- openj, on 02/15/2008, -17/+37Dear Mr. Bush, the fear you foment in your nation and others is currently the single most destabilizing force on the planet, and by the strictest definition suggests that you are currently the pre-eminent terrorist alive...
http://www.openjesus.org/2008/dear-mr-bush/ - inactive, on 02/15/2008, -2/+18Why do people ask these questions?
They're not in jail because they're politicians. For politicians to go to jail, other politicians have to make laws which don't have some loop-holes for politicians.
They lie, cheat, steal, and kill, but they have different names for these campaigning, legislation, taxation, war. They can get away with all that, and you think they're going to jail? - Corrosionx, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15You know what? I'll go with Mussolini's definition of fascism (he should know)
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
This country is going down that road FAST. We already have the jack-booted thugs kicking down people's doors. - dcmjzero, on 02/15/2008, -4/+18the day will not come soon enough
- RDinSB, on 02/15/2008, -5/+18actually, Oberman has the highest rating of anyone at MSNBC...
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/original/Janua ... - Terr01, on 02/15/2008, -8/+20"If Bush really is violating all of America's civil liberties"
Well, he may not be a dictator as we usually think of it, but he has certainly a criminal, having violated the Constitution and taken actions which are themselves dictatorial. Like holding a US citizen in an empty cell in a military brig for years without trial, lawyer, or charges.
"have his goons blindfold him, drag him out of his home at 2am"
On the other hand, Generallisimo Musharaff of Pakistan got in power with a military coup, an while he may not directly drag people off the streets in the finest violent fashion, it doesn't make him legitimate. - sisyphus00, on 02/15/2008, -6/+17I completely agree with Mr. Olbermann regarding Bush' use of fear to subvert our constitution. The Orwellian parallels are painfully obvious. The world will become a safer place once W & his crew of criminals ride off into the sunset next year.
- toasty168, on 02/15/2008, -4/+14he doesn't have to get rid of them when they're complicit.
- shugdoo, on 02/15/2008, -5/+15I can easily take Olbermann wearing his heart on his sleeve over the fawning, servile hosts (Matthews, Couric, Russert, et all) who allow political hacks to wipe their ass with the flag on national tv unchallenged. I feel he happens to be right the vast majority of the time. I applaud MSNBC having the spine to support his show.
- richard2, on 02/15/2008, -7/+17Do you realise that you sound like a psychopath?
- wrillo, on 02/15/2008, -5/+15I don't think Bush understands that no one trusts him anymore. Yes, you got us the first time George! Good job! Now we all hate you! Or as JWB would say "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

- NYNewYorker, on 02/15/2008, -3/+13Baseball/Steroids > Our Government
- theskyisblue, on 02/16/2008, -1/+10i wouldn't be surprised if USA will be at war with Iran at that point, elections are canceled, and martial law is in full effect.
- Terr01, on 02/15/2008, -2/+11Yes, because EVERYONE knows that once someone is elected by >50% of the voters then EVERYTHING they do is GOOD and even if it is ILLEGAL it isn't a problem, right? Even if it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL we still have to eat ***** and smile, right? If Bush were to hypothetically stalk the streets of Washington DC eating babies, everyone who had a problem with it would still be an "undemocratic whiner", right?
Moron. - ThinkFr33ly, on 02/15/2008, -5/+14First, you clearly don't understand what the term "Marxist" means. Olbermann never called Bush a Marxist, because that doesn't even make sense.
Second, this is a straw man logical fallacy. Bush can be violating the Constitution and tearing down civil liberties without taking away *all* civil liberties or *all* Constituational rights. To say that the fact that Olbermann can speak his mind of TV is evidence that Bush isn't committing the crimes that Olbermann accuses him of committing is simply false. - wingo123, on 02/15/2008, -4/+13Too bad he totally caved on the whole David Shuster "Pimping Chelsea" comment scenario. He apologized vehemently like a total pussy on behalf of his MSNBC colleague after Hillary called a press conference to condemn the network. And he didn't even say it. He totally crumpled under the pressure. He is a shill like anyone else, regardless of how much he seems to "speak his mind" on the obvious issues...
Since when can a Senator coerce a news network to retract a silly statement and force all of their reporters to apologize? ***** lame. - NJScoundrel, on 02/15/2008, -2/+10It's 'grammar', you dolt.
- arcticblue, on 02/16/2008, -1/+9Why do you hate America? If someone wants to call the president a fascist, then that's his right, but yet you seem to be against peoples' right to free speech. I'm going to exercise my right to free speech here and inform you the o'reilly is a tool who can't even defend his own arguments. When a guest calls him out and backs him in to a corner, o'reilly just cuts the guest's mic. Despicable.
- ThinkFr33ly, on 02/15/2008, -6/+14There are things on the left side of the aisle as contemptable and horrific as what Bush and his cohorts are doing? Really?
Name them. - fancyj, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7"They lie, cheat, steal, and kill, but they have different names for these campaigning, legislation, taxation, war."
well said. - Lunarbunny, on 02/15/2008, -2/+9I've got a day calendar with a countdown on it...it currently says...340 days left.
- Terr01, on 02/15/2008, -8/+15There is no terrorist threat against America whatsoever. If there were, you would have fled the country, being the yellow-bellied coward that you are.
...Oh, wait, does it sting when other people copy your pitiful excuse for logical arguments? - MrTito, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8Patriots don't run when Liberty is threatened.
- VinceNoir, on 02/15/2008, -3/+10If you can give me the largest possible list of "moonbat liberal voices" out there, I'll still beat you with my list of right wing loons.
- Corrosionx, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7We have a better chance of getting rid of the whole government than getting rid of stupidity in this country (besides it's the only solution).
- xlneoMAXlx, on 02/15/2008, -2/+9I agree.
- arcticblue, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7ya rly. srsly.
- westcor, on 02/15/2008, -3/+9Terr01 I agree, if there really was this crazy terrorsit threat do you think our government would really leave the borders open so whoever wanted to could get in? 9//1 happened over 6 years ago, and they still haven't done ***** about the borders, its common sense
- galets, on 02/15/2008, -6/+12he muct be criminally prosecuted together with each one of his minions for what he did to this nation.
- ThinkFr33ly, on 02/15/2008, -6/+12Except that O'Reilly consistantly lies.
What, exactly, did Olbermann lie about?
Seems to me that your criticisms of him are entirely ad hominem attacks. - ZenMojo, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7The neocons are fascists. Anyone who supports them is a fascist. Maybe you conservatives should just sit this one the ***** out and pay your damn taxes.
- macinit1138, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6Because our Congress would stage a hissy fit-walk out if they were tasked with holding public servants accountable to the rule of law.
- ThinkFr33ly, on 02/15/2008, -6/+12We won't bother to wake you... you don't even know what network Olbermann is on.
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -1/+6My goodness, I'm straight, but that turned me ON.
Keith Olbermann is a PATRIOT and an American hero. Thank you, KO. - ashnbell, on 02/16/2008, -1/+6Prescott Bush would be so proud of his grandson if he were alive today... admittedly being labeled a Nazi by Olbermann hardly bestows his grandson with anything like the same amount of Nazi-Points that Prescott's 1942 "Trading with the enemy act" conviction and subsequent bank confiscation would have earned him.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.se ...
But I think Prescott would be proud to know, that the grandchild who had listened in awe to the tales of his wartime exploits, as he bounced him on his knee, had learned so well from those early lessons.
For a more in-depth assessment of the Nazi-Points that Prescott earned himself back in the 30's and 40's I'd recommend giving this a read.
http://www.tarpley.net/bush2.htm - SlvrEagle23, on 02/15/2008, -3/+8As has been said many times before, it's almost criminal to suggest that disagreeing with the arbitrary rule of a group currently in power is in any way unpatriotic. It is *only* the fact that people are allowed to express dissent that keeps the citizens of the US from being hated as much as its leadership is across the world.
- shugdoo, on 02/15/2008, -7/+12Speaking truth to those in power does not automatically designate someone as a "partisan hack".
- SpudDuffer, on 02/15/2008, -11/+16LOVE Keith Obermann! A true American hero!
