Weeee, a TV guy made a big speech! Meanwhile, war criminals walk free
and all anybody can focus on is the health care propaganda talking points. I wonder if the sheep who comprise the majority of this brainwashed American populace will care about 8 years of war crimes and treason after they get their insulin, Viagra and Lipitor?

I doubt it, then it'll be the same story: "We need to focus on...blah blah blah".

5. That 'tv guy' has been one of the loudest proponents for ending war & occupation

He is a progressive voice. Yesterday was about health care. He devotes more time to exposing the truth of the current politics in Washington then any other newscaster on t.v.

Health care for the American people is a incredibly important issue. You are tearing down the wrong person.

12. I'm am aware and I like Olbermann
My larger and simplistic point is that it doesn't matter what a TV guy/woman says, American policy remains the same; the policy of letting war criminals go free remains firmly in place.

7. Guess what, that's exactly what's going to happen
The health care bill will be a washout for the most needy, they will still get screwed. You thought you were joking didn't ya? Guess again.

8. Sure pal, whatever you say
You realize of course that these 2 issues have nothing to do with each other? It's not an either/or situation. Furthermore most of the people you are currently addressing have been calling for prosecutions of those war criminals for several years now. We have tried everything under the sun to make that happen but unless and until those in Congress and the White House, or perhaps at the Justice Dept, agree with us it isn't going to happen. Perhaps since you are a relative newcomer here you might have a suggestion on this issue that hasn't been discussed into the ground yet. Feel free to offer any insights you might have.

In the meantime health care has been a major issue in this country for many years now. Countless thousands have DIED due to our failure to provide better options in health care. Now you might think we shouldn't care about that but if so we are just going to have to agree to disagree.

10. I didn't realize how important you thought your opinion was "pal" LOL
Really? Health care is a major issue? WOW, whodda ever known? BTW, I've been around for 50 years and ain't no "newcomer" as if "newcomer" is some sort of Twilight Zone-ish paranoia in your oh-so-important and opinionated world "pal".
