KO had better be careful

[OwnedByFerrets]

with rants like this he will end up like Malloy. :sarcasm:

[Beelzebud]

1. Indeed. Free thought isn't very popular these days.

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. He certainly is throwing it down!

And I'm actually listening!

[wellstone dem]

3. I am sitting here crying

The truth is indeed powerful.

10. I wanted to applaud at the tv. Best speech I have ever heard an anchor

make. I hope it will insire other talking heads to stand up and be counted.

E-mail him a thank you note:

22. Also, real paper "fan" mail makes a FANTASTIC impression:

MSNBC TV
One MSNBC Plaza
Secaucus, N.J. 07094

Please write - I plan to tomorrow. And I'm in the process of moving my entire household, raising a 7-year-old, being a newly-wed and a working mother. If I have the time to do it, so do all of you. :)

4. True Patriots need not be afraid

"Those who are willing to give up a little liberty for security, deserve neither."

[Beelzebud]

5. The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.

[pooja]

6. He is saying what needs to be said.... Whether they are his last words

on this network remains to be seen. but that was great.. I'm rewinding it... i should have tivo'd it.

[snappyturtle]

8. YES! I just thought the same thing....

it replays later doesn't it? I loved the Murrow idea that dissent does not mean we're not loyal!

[orpupilofnature57]

7. Folk um, Fear is their last weapon.

[C_U_L8R]

[tnlefty]

12. What did he say? I'd like to know before he is "Donahued" or "Malloyed"

What was the rant about? Inquiring minds want to know.

[tridim]

13. Dream it. The Donahue, Olbermann, Rather and Malloy project.

The REAL news.

[Berry Cool]

14. It was about Rumsfeld's speech yesterday

implying that people who question the White House are guilty of appeasing fascists.

You must see it when it reruns at midnight ET or when C&L puts it up. I don't doubt they will.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. He said this....

18. "This country faces a new fascism indeed"

Thank you very much for providing this link, and if I'm lucky I'll catch a replay.

[City Lights]

15. Stay off of small airplanes, Keith!

:loveya: :yourock:

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Careful is what got us where we are today!

Not a very good spot we're in.

[BlueCentrist]

19. That is exactly why we need to show our support of him

everyone needs to email or otherwise show support of Keith and his show tonight.This is an extremly courageous thing he did tonight.He stuck his neck out,don't let him down.

[KittyWampus]

20. Please, Keith Does A Rant That Makes Malloy Look Sophmoric

[Blue_In_AK]

21. It was a beautiful rant.

Keith is a brave man.

[Subdivisions]

24. I don't think he cares anymore. Murrow was his hero and I

think that he has finally gotten sick and tired of holding his tongue.

[The Jacobin]

25. Probably not.

Since Keith attracts advertisers and Mike obviously didn't.

All media, even progressive media, is about money. Without it, you can't broadcast. The vast majority of TV and radio is paid for by advertisers. Without them, you are just talking to yourself.

Listen, AAR didn't know how to sell Mike and his show. Blame it on the bad sales staff. Mike is a professional and will land on his feet.

[TheWatcher]

26. I think Keith had his "Have you no decency" moment tonight

Don't worry about Keith. The way he spoke tonight, with such power, with such conviction, I think perhaps he cares more about his principles, his beliefs, and his country than a show on a failing, barely breathing, and mostly irrelevant Cable Network.

Now is not the time for compromise.

We live in a World run by MADMEN, and maybe it's time to stand up to them, get in their face, and say "No, FUCK YOU".

If tonight was Keith's last hurrah, so be it.

Fuck these assholes. The world they want is not a world worth living in.

I'd rather fight.

And I'd rather see other people fight as well.
