[karlrschneider]

35. It wouldn't let me rate it. Drat.

Oh wait...I bet I have to use IE instead of Netscape...will try that.

edit: Yup that was it!

[B Calm]

48. Worked for me..

[karlrschneider]

50. Yeah, I forgot about it being M$NBC, Netscape doesn't work very well

on it...used IE to rate it...

[DemInDistress]

24. any video of keith tonight? I don't want to read it I want to see it...nt

[DemInDistress]

38. thanks sydnie.. I'll be waiting... nt

[Sydnie]

[DemInDistress]

49. thank you sydnie.. DU is abuzz with Keith tonight... I just love it...nt

[TahitiNut]

[KoKo]

40. WOW! That's quite a read. Every time he speaks he gives "cover" to

one more person to come out and call the Emperor what he is: lying, thieving
incompetent propped up by Rupert Murdoch and "other" goons.

I don't know what GE/MSNBC hasn't fired him....but if his numbers get too large he will probably get the axe... Still it's great to hear while it lasts!!! And his giving cover to others is the best think in years.

[Hamlette]

46. KO did an interview with Salon said his bosses want him to do MORE

tirades against Bush...but only because it is good for ratings. He said it would get stale if he did it every night. But he certainly is in no danger of losing his job over it.

At least not now. If the GOP wins again in 2006? They could start enforcing their version of the "constitution". (Only the parts they like, like the 2nd amendment, should be enforced.)

How are his ratings BTW, anyone know?

[Botany]

2. KO dropped the big one

[rzemanfl]

3. Truth. It's new news. n/t

[babylonsister]

8. Ain't that the truth! nt

[patrice]

20. As opposed to old "news" which is usually lies.

[Julius Civitatus]

4. Transcript

Amazing shit:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15004160

[sandnsea]

22. That is terrific!!!

FINALLY.

Thanks for posting.

[countmyvote4real]

45. OMG!

That is incredible. Talk about courage. Man, Keith seems to get a new set everyday.

It's been so long. I wonder if can handle this much truth from cable.

This is a must read/see.

[malaise]

51. Keith was fugging brilliant

Bravo KO and Bill Clinton. The Rethugs are bawling like squealing pigs.
The free pass is over - bring it on Dems, bring it on!!
Sp.

[Berry Cool]

5. Read it and weep...with joy

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15004160/

It's too damn good to condense.

Just imagine it being spoken with fire, anger and passion.

[chat_noir]

17. rate it up!

5 stars!!

[NMDemDist2]

6. he called bushie a coward, a liar, an incompetent and possibly a

criminal

it was AWESOME!!

check the bloggerman at msnbc.com for a transcript

[Captain Hilts]

15. Observation, not opinion! nt

[zonkers]

26. Fuck yeah.

[wakeme2008]

7. C&L home page says they are working on it

:) :) :)

[Swamp Rat]

10. I can't wait!!!!!!

I want to send the video to EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!!! :bounce:

[mcscajun]

9. Every line had a NAIL in it...and Keith just kept hammering them home

It was sweet to witness.

[Captain Hilts]

11. What needed to be said. nt

[C_U_L8R]

12. he read the obituary

of the slimey corrupt outdated and obsolete republican party
and their puny little venom spitting monkey leader.

that's all :-)

[smtpgirl]

13. Totally was one of the best commentaries that I ever have heard

Keith put the SMACK in smackdown

[ourbluenation]

14. thanks guys - your the best!

:)

[karlrschneider]

16. Keep a sharp eye out for the video, the transcript doesn't do justice

or show the almost literal fire in his eyes and his flawless delivery. :-)

[Kolesar]

27. The video segments from the movie 1984 were quite disturbing...eom

[karlrschneider]

34. Yeah, they were. I never saw the movie (have the book of course)

Maybe I can scare up a copy summers...

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. I cheered at the end

My 16 year-old ran into the room wondering what the heck was going on! I said, "finally the truth on Cable news!"

[Erika]

19. Not only did he call W a coward he also said W was a revisionist

to mask his own incompetence.

[democrank]

21. I still can`t believe it!

Such fire and passion. KO was amazing.

[Homer Wells]

28. Just got home from along weekend

and saw this thread.

I remember Edward R. Murrow, and it seems we have finally found this generations version of him.

Thank God for KO

Kicked and Recommended

:wow: :dem: :kick: :woohoo:

[Generic Brad]

42. Olberman has surpassed Murrow

Murrow stood up to McCarthy. But Olberman is standing up to the fascist hordes. That took infinitely more courage.

[Ellen Rose]

30. Keith Oberman

:toast: Right on Keith, I sat and barely breathed while listening to him! I could not believe that I was actually hearing things that I have thought for........oh...almost 6 years now. I don't know how Keith will follow this up, but, I didn't know how he would top his last two wonderful orations! He did, with fire. :toast:

[newyawker99]

54. Hi Ellen Rose!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Howardx]

31. We have nothing but your word

"and your word has long since ceased to mean anything."




:toast:

[Swamp Rat]

32. VIDEO!!!:

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/25/olbermanns-special-comment-are-yours-the-actions-of-a-true-american/#more-10525

[last1standing]

33. "Authoritarian". Good word.

You'll notice he doesn't call bush* a fascist because that would open him up to attack by the wing nuts calling other people fascists. Instead he uses "Authoritarian" to deliver the same meaning. Smart guy.

My only other comment about this piece is: WOW!!!

[achtung_circus]

36. Everyone reccomend it up! nt

[Erika]

37. He also put blame on the GOP witchhunters in 98 & 99

who were more interested in hurting Clinton than keeping our country safe for any distraction. Clinton would try to attack OBL and terrorists and the freeper types would accuse him of the wag the tail bull.

[patrice]

39. Elegant and eloquent.

If I were Chris Wallace I'd be very embarassed by comparison to Olbermann's elegant eloquence.

[Jazzgirl]

43. Another recommend!

Too merch!

[lonestarnot]

44. Hell yeah! That's my man! Love that KO! Woodamnwhoo!

:woohoo: :toast:

[tblue]

47. At long last!

KO ko'd the chimp tonight. Wow! I am flabbergasted. This is one for the ages. It took a man of tremendous courage and brilliance to pull that off. Any ideas on how we support keeping KO on the air?

[arikara]

52. I must say, it gave me great pleasure to hear

him calling chimpy's cabal the "minions".

[kwolf68]

53. I just watched it...

Freaking amazing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. He called ** a coward among other things!
