Keith Olbermann Rocks!
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 08:50 PM by cal04
It is not the Democrats whose inaction in the face of the enemy you fear, Sir.

It is your own—before 9/11 - and (and you alone know this), perhaps afterwards.

Mr. President, these new lies go to the heart of what it is that you truly wish to preserve.

It is not our freedom, nor our country—your actions against the Constitution give irrefutable proof of that.

You want to preserve a political party’s power. And obviously you’ll sell this country out, to do it.

These are lies about the Democrats -- piled atop lies about Iraq -- which were piled atop lies about your preparations for al Qaida.

To you, perhaps, they feel like the weight of a million centuries -- as crushing, as immovable.

They are not.

If you add more lies to them, you cannot free yourself, and us, from them.

But if you stop -- if you stop fabricating quotes, and building straw-men, and inspiring those around you to do the same -- you may yet liberate yourself and this nation.

Please, sir, do not throw this country’s principles away because your lies have made it such that you can no longer differentiate between the terrorists and the critics.

3. If Kerry had called * a liar in the debates they couldn't have
stolen enough votes to beat him. Keith is the best.

4. He did call them the shadiest people you would ever run into
during a pre interview moment
I forget what the exact quote was, but the repugs were outraged, of course. When asked to take the statement back, He didn't, and stated it again. Mabey he should've said worse.....

5. Keith is the only one to use that word --
LIES. If only more would have the courage to use that word
on TV or in print - anywhere. It's the only accurate way to
describe *. I don't understand why no one else will say it out loud.

7. Keith is reinventing the corporate media
He's one of those journalists that -- I don't know -- cares.

9. What a RELIEF to hear these words on the tv FINALLY!
'THE PRESIDENT WHO MADE THINGS UP"!

I am crying tears of JOY!

How long have we waited, how much BS have we endured, how many talking head idiots have we stomached, how much ravaging of the Constitution have we gagged on before we got our day on the air with Keith Olbermann? Ever since Bill Clinton, the media has been as anti-American as any terrorist.

Olbermann alone could save the republic. Maybe God is blessing America after all.
