oh snap!
i'm speechless
He just kicked her ass!! That was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time!!
Great Stuff Keith!
I just had to laugh when he got so mad at Condi for comparing Saddam to Hitler after hearing Olby compare almost everyone he disagrees with to Hitler. Irony is fun.
Was that "pwnage"? That really seemed like pwnage to me.
second the pwnage.
Syngas... do i detect a hint of sarcasm right there? brilliant. i am intrigued by your views and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Just a hint ;} I won't be around here long. After I ruffle enough feathers, I'll mysteriously end up on the DSBL list again. Just for the record, BO is just as big of a self-righteous boob as Keith but I do like listening to Keith call the kettle black.
facts! i dont need facts! Im a fox news watcher, give me pure emotion baby!
i guess i don't keep up so much with the day-to-day details of american govt. was olbermann implying that bush and co. DENY that americas current status in iraq is as an occupying force? if so, what DO they call it? just curious.
I do not believe in Keith Olberman; I do not believe in Condi Rice; I do not believe in George W. Bush; I do not believe in Elvis; I do not believe in Beatles... I just believe in me. Yoko and me and that's reality.
i second fritzs' statement. except i do believe in elvis. well, pre-army elvis. i mean, some of it. heartbreak hotel is UNTOUCHABLE. and lennon knew it, too.
The President does not have unlimited power for foreign affairs. Olbermann could use this 1804 Supreme Court decision in one of his commentaries.
The "Flying Fish" Case--Little vs. Barreme.
http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/judicialrev.htm
"After a Navy Captain in December 1799 seized the Danish vessel, the Flying Fish, pursuant to Adams's order, the owners of the ship sued the captain for trespass in U. S. maritime court. On appeal, C. J. Marshall rejected the captain's argument that he could not be sued because he was just following presidential orders. The Court noted that commanders "act at their own peril" when they obey invalid orders--and the president's order was outside of his powers, given the congressional action."
Look I have lost care in the rhetoric of the Bush Administration, so long as they don’t take any unconstitutional actions I am happy sitting by as his nightmare is lived out. But there is one thing I am sick of and that is the comparison between the ‘war on terror’ and World War II.
It is a travesty that a war, because of which I have no living grandfathers and only one grandmother, which was not solely fought for political reasons but for the fundamental ideology of the Western world, can be equated to the ‘war on terror’. This comparison spits in the face of a generation of people who suffered so heavily to protect and retake their freedoms, especially considering the current ‘war’ has taken so many of them away.
CBD recently did a piece on Olbermann.

Wrong Susceptor. I don't have cable.
i'm gonna agree with Syngas and Boss Foxx on this one but take it up a notch to 'uber1337pwnage' with a side of 'wtfbbq.'
nerf bush
The Daily Show makes light of the White House but Olberman is the only person in TV news who really unloads on the Bush administration and lets people know what a miserable sack of bastards they all are. Keith is fantastic!
Someone is going to have to held accountable for this mess in Iraq and before they can blame it on the Democrats, we need to pin it on the true culprits. Condi Rice is definitely on that list.
It's people like this who should be running for President.
That would be fun to watch!!
Gee...which party do you think would nominate the unbiased one? I wonder.
Who is this guy? Is this a parody?
Who is this guy? Is this a parody?
To those who are complacent about the rights afforded to us (Americans) in the constitution and to those Americans whose understanding of history is biased and limited, this may come across as a parody. To the rest of the world, the reaction is, "It's about time!"
What does "subjectively false" mean?
I have to call KO on trying to equate today's republican party with the 1950s republican party. Right now they are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. In close to 60 years the views of the two parties have completely flip flopped.
The vote to authorize war with Germany was unanimous in both the House and Senate. Republicans were timid because of the massive losses we had experienced in WWI and it looked like WWI did not have any lasting results. BTW - One of the biggest critics of WWII was Joseph Kennedy - Father of John, Bobby and Teddy.
Republicans in WWI were a bit timid (and not unreasonably so) because going to war in both Europe and the Pacific was going to be both difficult and expensive and WWI had already cost a LOT. But they supported the WWII efforts by and large.
What Olbermann was talking about was their more extreme reluctance to support/pay for the Marshall Plan (not fighting the war, but rebuilding and defending Europe post war)
Could it be that there are now ringers from Fox News on the onegoodmove comments section? I sense a new, lowered intelligence in some of the above statements.
Could Be. Or it might just be that you are not as intelligent as you think ;}
Believing that someone with a different perspective is dumb is a sure way to fool yourself into thinking you are intelligent.
Brief history lesson: Republicans and conservatives existed long before Fox News and will exist long after Fox News is gone. A homogenious society is a dead society.
