7. I've got to recommend. Simply amazing.
How can this already be on the net? Holy cow the world is fast now.

If McCain knows how to catch Bin Laden and he doesn't disclose or act on it, then he is aiding the enemy.

Amazing.

15. How can this already be on the net?
It's not at all difficult to do, I use a Winfast TV Tuner Card to record the video from my satellite box.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_tuner_card

I then do a quick edit of the video with Windows Movie Maker, and then I up-load the video to Youtube.

10. Keith Olbermann is a true patriot.
He's absolutely right... 9/11 is the greatest weapon in the GOP's bag-o-tricks.

The attack on the Twin Towers was used as a strategic device to get people in this country to fall in line. What did our obedience bring? A failure to catch Osama bin Laden, a blundered war in a foreign country, and a spike in the sale of US flags. And for the last 7 years, whenever someone attacks the Bush administration or the occupation of Iraq, we're called unpatriotic. Well, those people need a lesson in American History, because this nation was founded by a group of people who were standing up to an unjust government, just like Mr. Olbermann is now.

14. The logic of McCain's statement that he "knows how to get bin Laden" is that of a 5 year old.

19. That's as may be,
but when I first heard McCain make that remark my immediate thought was, "Then why in HELL haven't you done it?!" KO is right on target with this one.

39. I Know how to get Bin Laden
Thank you Keith! But I wish you had emphasized a little more that either you are a traitor for not telling us (what keith did emphasize) OR it's an empty boast using fear as a political stunt. I repeat: it's an empty boast using fear as a political stunt. I wanted to hear more of that because THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT IT IS. McCain doesn't know how to catch Bin Laden at all.

16. The right-wing hates Olbermann because he is so effective.
Rather, a truth-teller is what they hate.

18. If the media -- particularly the Sunday morning programs -- called them out on their
propaganda as they spew it, then we will have regained the Fourth Estate as watchdogs. What we've had for the past 16 years is propaganda-gone-amok.

Thanks to KO for all he does to separate the fact from fiction & to call low-life tactics just what they are.

29. Nah
Obama writes his own speeches, and I like them. Keith should be a consultant on them, though.

24. OBL is dead and McCain knows it. But that doesn't change McCain being an opportunists
or the accusations KO makes about him. McCain is a phony who will say and do anything to get elected,...it's always been McCain first, not country.

When Keith eviscerated bush for running for office on the claim that only he could keep "us" safe.

28. It is about time that someone called bullshit.....
(someone with a national audience that is). The republican party does not own or hold any special rights to 9/11, patriotism, god, guns, ethics, morality, and safety.

One of the very best commentaries. What is important is remembering those who died. The Thugs couldn't care less.

33. Responded to this on a similar video post..
Bah.

But I'll repeat myself:

Been following KO since he worked at ESPN and I don't think I have ever seen him that pissed off. He did a remarkable job trying to hold his composure until the comments about the RNC but after that you could really see the anger creeping into his face.

46. You don't have a clue what the word communism means, and
every time you post, you just keep exposing your lack of education. Sadly, there are too many ignorant people like yourself. Take up reading, and then come back and actually hold a real discussion rather than asking ignorant questions.

40. Why didnt Clinton do anything about it?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...huh? Oh nodded off there for a while. I mean 20th century GOP talking points?

Who cares what Clinton did or didn't do about it. That was practically a decade ago...and BEFORE Bush let them in on 9/11.... because whatever Clinton did or didn't do, Bush and his crew were doing LESS. Like absolutely nothing. That's why 9/11 happened. One page DPBs...ignored. Demoting Richard Clark. Cheney's terrorist group didn't meet once before 9/11.

42. KO really tells it like it is, as usual, but also as usual I think he is preaching to the choir.
We watch him and applaud as do other Democrats, but is his message reaching those who need to be swayed or are capable of being swayed or having their eyes opened by his commentary? I think that just as we don't know or care what some big name evangelist says in his church on Sunday there are a lot of people who don't watch KO and don't know or care what he says either. Just as those in church get fired up and say amen to the message they hear on Sunday, we get fired up and say amen to KO's message. I like to hear his message, but I do wonder what effect does it have on other than us?
