Keith is making me cry. eom

[Maraya1969]

[LittleBlue]

1. Why?

What did he say?

[JVS]

5. Cats and dogs don't go to heaven.

[Maraya1969]

23. He basically said what has been on the minds of many. That she mentioned

Bobby Kennedy's assassination to imply that because Obama is black there is a chance, (and I'm not the only one who has feared this) that he will be assassinated too. (And that is why she should stay in the race). They had video of Bobby Kennedy and it was really sad to see him so happy only to know he would be dead very shortly thereafter.

He then went through a list of all the people that have been assassinated in our country. John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther Kind, Malcom X, and the attempts on Ford and others that are slipping my mind right now.

The list is longer than I knew or expected.

He did not mention all of these but I am astonished at the number. And I'm really upset now about what Clinton said because Barack Obama is going to have 2 things going against him. 1. He will be the President of the United States and 2. He is a black man in a place of power. And some people can't stand that.

42. I was a little surprised that he included Malcolm X in that list

figured that he is too polarizing a figure for people to want to accept his murder as an assassination in the same breath as those other names he mentioned. Kudos to KO for having the balls to say what needed to be said! :patriot:

[book_worm]

2. He's telling it the way it is. Hillary did herself in.

[Tatiana]

3. I'm in tears. I admit it.

Mentions Lincoln and all the other assassinated Presidents as well as attempted assassinations.

[boobooday]

9. That part got to me too n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

20. When I first heard her comments, I felt outraged, then nauseated...

then I felt like crying. I got some distance from it, but his commentary choked me up again.

Why won't the Democratic Party take a stand against this? They don't actually ENDORSE assasination as a campaign strategy, do they?

[CatsDogsBabies]

33. I actually think that this should disqualify her in any circumstance

[CitizenLeft]

35. me too.

It shook me up.

[WA98296]

4. He's covering it all. Great Special Comment...now, wipe your tears and have a hug

[K Gardner]

6. I feel so badly for the Kennedys. She's torn a scab off, for all of us.

[The Ghost]

7. WOW, THAT GAVE ME CHILLS!!

and i usually dont like his special comments

[DevonRex]

8. OMG. He nailed it. Thank God for Keith. nt

[ecstatic]

10. I knew I wasn't crazy. KO knocked it out the park

And I'm embarrassed to admit I almost teared up too. That's just how disgusting I find this entire situation with the Clintons.

[Willo]

19. Ditto. nt

[oasis]

11. That's funny because fake outrage always makes me puke.

:puke:

[mcctatas]

15. How come the outrage is only real if it's hillary whining about

sexism and unfair debate questions? For fuck sake, she actually said "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California." while trying to defend her deluded desperation to stay in the race. WAKE UP!!!

[oasis]

21. What's that got to do with Hillary hating, KO's performance ? (eom)

[Raine]

34. You must do lots of puking then

with all the BS that comes out of Hillary and her fake victimization. :puke:

[LibraLiz1973]

40. It was easily one of the most pathetic things I've ever witnessed.

Performance art that makes me sick.

:puke:

Way to over play it Keith.

[phrigndumass]

12. Here too. The anger and frustration I feel about this is something I haven't felt in a long time.

What I am feeling is real, not some fake, manufactured outrage.

Keith Olbermann put it all in the context of American History, and rightfully so.

I have nothing but disgust for Senator Clinton.

[AllentownJake]

13. He articulated

Everything I've been thinking since I read that comment today.

[samdogmom]

14. You know what...after all the mean things Hillary supporters said to me here...

I say SHUT THE "f" UP! Who cares if you're sad??? Can I quote things back to you? Oh, I'm sure I have to play nice now. Gosh, dang it! Hillary didn't play nice, I want a fair treatmeht!

[Maraya1969]

38. That's not the point. Clinton was not so much the point as was the horrible

things that have happened to great leaders in this country. And the video of Bobby Kennedy was so sad. And then when he reminded us of the latest Kennedy tragedy it was even sadder.

He also talked about Martin Luther King Jr. and I don't know if he said it or not but the fact is a black leader in this country who has the kind of love and support that Martin Luther King did is threatening to a lot of racist people.

[Higher Standard]

16. That was as angry as I've seen Keith lately...

...well, outside of him coming down on Bush for his "sacrifice" of golf to match the sacrifice of the young men and women in the American armed forces in Iraq. And this was certainly far more than during his special comment about her negative campaigning after Ferraro's comments weeks back.

[Kaylee]

17. I've been on the verge all night.

[jenmito]

18. He said EVERYTHING that needed to be said for MONTHS now up 'til today's

latest and most outrageous comment from Hillary.

[galaxy21]

22. video? anyone youtube this?

[jenmito]

25. I'm sure it will be up soon.

[Maraya1969]

28. I'm sure it will be up soon.

[Raine]

37. They usually repeat KO

here in CA he repeats at 11:00 Pm so depending on where you're located you might be able to catch it later.

[PoliticalAmazon]

24. I just talked to my husband on the phone and informed him what had been...

going on. He was devastated. He has a very personal experience of RFK's death, and my husband was just devastated.

It's not just my husband, but so many people who had much more close associations with that tragedy. I predict some awakened angst across the land.

[WA98296]

31. How about RFK jr, who endorsed her?

[Raine]

26. He's was TERRIFIC

after seeing some of the talking heads excusing Hillary by twisting themselves into pretzels FINALLY KO tells how DISGUSTING and DISPICABLE this UGLY statement of Hillary's really is!

[apocalypsehow]

27. My wife's eyes teared up, and I actually started trembling. It was powerful stuff.

:thumbsup:

[Swamp Rat]

29. !

:hug:

[BklynChick]

30. me too. he was on fire.

[ReverendDeuce]

32. My girlfriend, who doesn't usually like KO's special comments, was enrapt by this one...

It brought tears to her eyes, and mine.

[ReverendDeuce]

41. Keith is genius... amazing commentary...

Once more for good measure!

[Tarheel_Dem]

36. I'm guilty as well. Cried like a big old baby. I think we should give

Keith some positive feedback for this most wonderful commentary to let him know that we appreciate him telling it like it is, no matter what letter follows their name.

[apocalypsehow]

39. ...
