Keith Olbermann's comment on scapegoating Senator Clinton and us.

[onecent]

1. KO for President. n/t

[ooglymoogly]

19. I hope everyone goes to youtube and gives it a hit and 5 stars.

[Rhiannon12866]

56. Done!

:D

[RavensChick]

27. I second that!

Let's get the exploratory committee started!

:bounce:

[ikojo]

2. That was AWESOME!!!!

Telling Bush to go to Baghdad and fulfill his military service obligations and fight HIS war HIMSELF!!!

I think that is the best line I've heard in six and a half years!!!

[pacalo]

3. Excellent!

[two gun sid]

4. That was beautiful!

[proud patriot]

5. YEAH !

:headbang:

[zehnkatzen]

6. Smart Fella...

Olbermann has probably forgotten more about history than most of us remember. And I've ready Shirer's Rise and Fall of The Third Reich (don't worry, I'm not going there right now).

The historical parallels he draws are, in this armchair historian's opinion, incredibly apt.

Recommended.

[Jack Rabbit]

7. Bravo

Go to Baghdad now and fulfill, finally, your military service obligations.

Go there and fight, your war. Yourself.

And take those chickenhawk neocons with you, please.

[RavensChick]

30. I know that's right!

:kick: :headbang:

[mopinko]

8. no shit.

[bluestateboomer]

12. Kicked out of the f****g park!!!!

Wish I could recommend it 1000 times!!!!!!!!:yourock: :patriot: :toast:

[Knightly_Knews]

13. Too bad Mini Bush won't see this....

We wouldn't want pissy pants to throw a tantrum would we?

Kick Kick Kick Kick Kick

[va4wilderness]

14. I was getting tired of KO earlier....

Seemed like he was getting strident in a way the right-wing pundits do. Kind of turned me off.

BUT this is GREAT!!! He is kicking ass now!

[OKDem08]

15. Go, baby, go!

[murray hill farm]

16. OMG and WOW

Every time he does one of these, I say to myself.."now that was the best one yet", but this....amazing!

[ooglymoogly]

17. WOW, JUST WOW. nt nom

[rAVES]

18. KO is amazing!!!!

[Stevepol]

20. Something else! The war is what Bush wanted and he's got it coming out his ears now.

KO really has given voice to a lot of people's absolute and total hatred for this war and all it has brought in its wake.

[madrchsod]

21. after watching him tonight on tv.

for some odd reason it makes me proud to be an american

[Patchuli]

22. Yep, just like we USED to! Go KO!!!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[mzmolly]

23. Just when I think Keith can't possibly get any better

he proves me wrong. Thank You K.O. for a thread of sanity, once again.

[SemperEadem]

24. Right on, Keith!!! Right on!!! Fuckin' A!!!!

::::I actually yelled that when it was done:::::

[dave123williams]

25. That sums things up nicely; thanks KO! K&R

[rhiannon55]

26. I hope Nancy sees this

I hope everyone sees this. That speech is powerful. Keith will be a legend 100 years from now. Everyone will have a parade on his birthday. :patriot:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. Love you, Keith! You're adorable AND awesome!!

:loveya: :loveya:

[diane in sf]

29. Thank you Keith!!! eom

[badgerpup]

31. Link to transcript? PLEASE?

No TV and on dial-up here...but still have the smarts to appreciate KO! :loveya::patriot:

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

32. K & R...and here is a link for you...

[Just-plain-Kathy]

49. Thanks for posting the link... I have a slow connection ....n/t

[Divine Discontent]

33. OLBERMANN

IS
AMAZING!

This was one of his best 5. His first one, the one at ground zero, and the impeach one last week, and now this one - speak volumes about how much more prescient about matters he and his staff are than our WH misfits are. DAMN - just amazing... KEITH YOU ROCK!

34. When Keith brings it.....

damn he really brings it. :o

[Stardust]

35. If I could kick it any harder, I'd throw my back out!

:kick: Had to keep stopping the playback to absorb all he was sayin'. It was like a ride on the Magic Bus, if you know what I mean. Makes it hard to give up when there is KO's eloquence to remind us that we're not the only ones out here mad as hell and scared as hell simultaneously.

[The Doctor.]

36. Absolutely ...

absolutely fucking stunning.

I'll be Emailing this link around.

Thanks.

[The Doctor.]

37. Wait... is it "KO@msnbc"...hell... I forgot.

A little help please?

[Nothing Without Hope]

53. [e-mail]

K & R

[SalmonChantedEvening]

38. Go and fight Your War Yourself

And finally fulfill your military service.

Told as it needed telling, as only KO can.


:kick: & R!

[HonorTheConstitution]

39. K & & - OMG, I can't believe that was broadcasted! I love Keith,

We should sent him a collected DUer signed email that he needs to keep up the pressure.

[The Wizard]

40. If our Congressional representitaves

had one tenth the spine of KO this criminal Administration would be breaking rocks in the hot sun telling the guard "I got my mind right boss." What will it take for Congress to take action? Another day, another crime, and Congress vacations while the people in uniform bear the brunt of the King's insanity. They have to understand the Rove/Goebbels slime machine aided and abetted by the corporate media enablers will attack no matter what. Keith Olbermann speaks for the vast majority who have had enough fascist propaganda.

[curiousdemo]

41. Another win for the Good Guys!

:toast:

[tomg]

42. Pure passion, integrity and intelligence.

Bush has Tony Snow, but the country has Keith Olbermann.

[kimmylavin]

43. My HERO!

Its amazing that you can find yourself cheering at something on the internet at 5 in the morning... :)

[Wiccan Warrior]

44. I agree lets see the Chimp in Charge

link arms with his other monkey friends crawl into a plastic barrel screw on the top and send him over there where he would like to be worshiped as a god.

[Totally Committed]

45. Awesome!

Totally, utterly, unabashedly AWESOME!

TC

[flying_wahini]

46. I esp. like the "utter blinkered idiocy" part

n/t

[ab123]

47. I agree with mr olbermann

[oldgrowth]

48. Far fucking out !!

[MrPrax]

50. KO aside...

The Pentagon's comment is even stupider when you consider that Clinton is among democrats perceived to be the biggest supporter of the Iraq war.

Good 'attack' piece tho, keep the focus on Bush, even though the focus has been everywhere else-- but suggesting that the scapegoating is new and that this Edelman opened some Pandora's Box is fluff...blaming 'liberals' is old hat and common.

Why get frothy and indignant now about it?

[pat_k]

51. ". . .even if to do so requires, first, that you must be impeached and removed as president"

. . .we are leaving Iraq, and sooner rather than later, and we are doing it even if to do so requires, first, that you must be impeached and removed as president of the United States, sooner rather than later. . .

[0007]

52. Keith is so good at getting the truth out at a blistering pace, that

even an idiot like junior couldn't fail to understand.

[applegrove]

54. Bush always has a scapegoat. Remember when the meme was "not to scapegoat global warming for the

Katrina disaster"? Unbelievable.

[Rhiannon12866]

55. K&R! This was excellent! Thanks for posting this!

KO always manages to outdo even himself!!!:woohoo:

[colorado_ufo]

57. Took my breath away!

The man is so powerful, intelligent, and courageous a speaker that I am just in awe. KO is a gift not only to this Nation and its principles, but he is a gift to the concept of freedom itself.

[Tekla West]

58. Simply

the most damming and moving condemnation of an American President ever. And no President deserves it more. This is just so powerful, so true. Go KO! He will be remembered as one of the few real journalists in a profession of sheep.

[footinmouth]

59. This man is my hero.

I love the guy. I hope he never loses his job.

[Dollface]

60. Geez I love this guy! And Kudos to MSNBC for giving him a platform.

[RetroLounge]

61. Damn. KO is the best thing on TV, bar none!

:applause:

RL

[123abawd]

62. Keith!

nicely done, sir. good night and good luck, indeed.

[DutchLiberal]

63. Too bad 28-30% of all Americans will believe Bush and blame Hillary, for decades to come

Just like I was astonished and literally speechless when I met these right-wing fundies online who claim the US either 'won' the Vietnam War, or they lost it because of the liberals who made us pull out ('because we had the Vietcong right were we wanted them, and then these boneheads pulled us out')!

[GrantDem]

64. The Edward R. Murrow of our time... n/t

[Diclotican]

65. Wow

That was a angry Oberman.. And the worst is, he is absolutely right....

Diclotican

[Seabiscuit]

66. Wow! "Go there, Mr. Bush, and fight your war yourself." Just wow!!!

Best and angriest of all Olbermann rants ever!

[NastyRiffraff]

67. Oh. My. God.

He said it all. Impeachment, betrayal of our country, and ends with a bang: "Go there and fight your war, yourself"

BIG K&R
