Keith Olbermann responds to Newt's recent speeches
The transcript and video of KO's special comment can be seen here.
Amen Keith. If someone thinks they can take our freedoms in the name of fear..they have another think coming. People have died for our right to speak what we think...and Newt be damned.

Don't let the "Islamo-facists" remove your freedomm of speech, women's rights, gay rights, etc., etc.! That's OUR job! We're the Republican Party, and we approve of this message.

It was a very good "diatribe" wasn't it Coo? Mattloch, perhaps the folks on the right side of the aisle don't mind losing their freedoms, but with the DEMS in control of both houses..that isn't going to happen,right?

Yes, and I see, so called "protesters" blocked Tom Tancredo from speaking at Michigan State last night.......they were not properly identified as the left wing radicals and intolerant liberals they were by the lamestream media.......now, who is it you were saying is infringing on 1st Amendment rights, Dusty Dorkus?........throwing food and shouting isn't exactly grownup behavior, but since when do gays act like grownups?.......it's liberals who shout down and prevent free speech, but that's what you expect from babies who can't debate in a mature fashion.....they're used to getting their way or throwing a tantrum, like the effin' babies they are........

so, are you saying you're going to fight Islamofascists to preserve your rights, Dusty?.......so far, we've seen no propensity for you to do so, in fact, we've seen nothing but indifference on your part, even blindness to the threat.......

can you give an example of Republicans taking away ANY of those rights, Fatt-Kock?.......of course not, you just make it up, like all your garbage, you sissy sodomite..........thanks to Mattloch, AIDS is now the number 3 killer in the world (looks like condoms didn't work, did they?)........too bad the two amoebas who combined to spawn Mattloch didn't use a condom.......

Ah yes Olbermann, the Eichmann of the left wing spin machine........he's like Danny DeVito, only taller and more sober......Countdown, the Spin starts here.......if only Olbermann could get his ratings higher than DeVito's scrotum, maybe you left wing propagandists could get some credibility........

Hey MOKE..get a load of this info about KO's "numbers":Since late August Olbermann's ratings have shot up 55 percent. In November he was named a GQ Man of the Year. When MSNBC teamed him with Chris Matthews to cover the midterms, the network's ratings were up 111 percent from the 2002 election in the coveted 25-to-54 demographic. And certain fifteen-minute segments on Olbermann's show have edged out his nemesis, Bill O'Reilly. (Olbermann deems O'Reilly the "Worst Person in the World" on his popular nightly contest for the newsmaker who's committed the most despicable act of the day.) I watched MSNBC's election coverage. I was very impressed with it, and it reminded me of the days of Huntley & Brinkley. Matthews and Olbermann played well off each other. posted by

What's wrong with the time stamps? Isn't everyone else posting from Kamchatka, like me? . Olbermann's numbers show, along the lines of Adlai's old anecdote, that he has the viewership of every thinking American. Now if only we could get a majority to watch... posted by

I'd call him "one of the more thoughtful ones," in the sense that a trained pitbull in a room full of raving rabid dogs is "one of the thoughtful ones." I've never thought his relationship with his dead aide was adequately explained, either. . "Going crazy" as in "admitting things are getting worse," or "blaming Americans and Iraqis for their bad choice of president and invading commander-in-chief? posted by

I am not aware of his background other than what he mentions from time to time Random. I just started watching him after the elections this Nov.He is so against the war now..he is foaming at the mouth about the war and Bush's incompetence. He freely admits he supported it..past tense. posted by

Alas, lots of former supporters are turning against the disaster now. Too many of them, however, are using the line "good idea, bad execution," when the truth is more like "insane idea, criminally incompetent execution." Olbermann had one "pundit" as runner-up on Worst Person for trying to blame it on the American people's reaction to Bush's idiocy.

Joe isn't blaming anyone..he just wants to get the hell out. I think he really pushed for them to start calling it a civil war. He has been using the term for almost a month now...which is something for a staunch repube.

I think that a lot of these guys are afraid that people will realize that this is what conservatism looks like at its most extreme. They want to keep cutting government and outsourcing, even though the fruits of that labor are now apparent in Iraq. They are trying to kick Bush overboard so that he doesn't topple the party for a generation.

Which is why impeachment at this time would be a bad idea. Never interfere with your opponent's suicide. If he wants to resign in shame, though, we should take a package deal with Cheney. Pelosi '07! . (Now, impeachment in January 2009 sounds just right...) posted by

I don't want more dead soldiers random..I don't care about Bush as much as I care about the troops being in the middle of the civil war over there. The pandering to Maliki publicly, while privately they plot his demise doesn't bode well for getting us out of there in the next two years.

I've been calling him that for a long time. Shrub wraps up the worst features: The openness and honesty of Richard Nixon. The intellectual curiousity of Warren G. Harding. The business acumen of Herbert Hoover. The decisive leadership of James Buchanan. . But I'll freely admit he's the second-best President we've had since Clinton. Give him his due. posted by

I don't support impeachment, yet. But I do support investigations. Waxman is going to go through this Presidency and pull out a lot of the rot. I think that the call for impeachment may come soon, but I'd like to make sure it's not on the first case we try. In order to make our counrty stronger and avoid repeating these problems, we need to bring all of them to light.
