The Spirits are smiling on you right now!

1. Esp his Special Comments

KnR

[handmade34]

3. he is commenting on the Rally

and he has suspended his "Worst Person" a very noble gesture... What a guy!

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

11. What if he doesn't do any more Special Comments either?

They certainly never fit this False "centrist" definition of "civility" any more than "Worst Persons" did.

I'd hate to see Keith neuter his entire show, just because Jon Stewart can't tell the difference between him and Glenn BecKKK.

19. Bravo!

:toast:

2. "Standing up for the powerless is not the same as standing up for the powerful."

[handmade34]

4. absolutely!

[bullwinkle428]

10. Seriously considering using that as a new sig-line!

[jberryhill]

5. Is he also going to stop the vocal characterizations?

I enjoy KO's show, but the childish vocal characterizations of rw'ers he's quoting can get in the way of a good point

[RepublicanElephant]

7. aaaarrrrrggghhh, me matey!!!!! nt

;)

[handmade34]

9. especially that one.. uck

[jberryhill]

22. Actually, it was the Lou Dobbs lipsmacking noises that turned me off

KO had valid points about Lou Dobbs. They were lost in the repellent juvenile delivery for me.

6. He's responding to the "false equivalence" Stewart raised in such a classy way.

He showed some of the best highlights from Stewart's speech and gave him his props while gently, but firmly correcting him on the left = right = both bad contention.

Also, I like the idea of doing away with Worst Person's for a while.

He's clearly acknowledged where he may have gone over the top, on occassion, but he's also explained why: because for a long ass time, he was the only one out there speaking up for the powerless, while Faux spends 24/7 representing the POWERFUL.

18. I can't wait to see this!

I had felt that Jon's use of him was more because the current atmosphere needs a sharp voice like Keith's, rather than him being part of the problem. But that may have been my own bias creeping in :)

8. KO comes through again. Gracious and considered. Thank you Keith.-nt

[handmade34]

12. need to send him a big

Thank You! for keeping it classy

[Little L liberal]

20. I've never seen Keith.

When is he on?

[PSzymeczek]

23. 8:00 pm

Eastern Time.

[tridim]

13. Jon would rec this if he could.

Do people really think Jon was equating Faux and MSNBC? I don't. He knows what's up.

[arcane1]

21. Exactly, he had Colbert co-hosting with him.

Jon didn't need to spell out a damned thing, his and Steven's fans knew what they were seeing! :)

[pacalo]

14. Keith has my utmost respect. K&R!

[myrna minx]

15. Keith was very self reflective and gracious, moreso than Alter, who

missed the point of the rally entirely. :rofl:

[handmade34]

17. not called the "Million Intelligent Person March"

for nothin'... Keith gets it

[CommonSensePLZ]

16. But he was scweaming and Jon was skeered ='(

I'm taking Keith's side, I don't like Jon's message than tone is more important that message and honesty. Keith and Ed were mad for legitimate things and should've been, Fox on the otherhand was screaming to bully people into their side, often with lies. I don't support the craziness and yelling on either side when not necessary, but I don't think they were wrong and understand why they did.

Thanks for killing worst person in the world, Jon, I hope you're happy.

[la la]

24. i looked forward to 'worst persons'--

it was a break in the real 'stuff' that keith has on daily---i also agree with him 99.5% of the time.

[Kurovski]

25. K&R

I knew Mr Olbermann would handle it well.

I especially liked the little FOX challenge, such as it was.

[Poboy]

26. I'm kicking this once more, because Keith deserves it. -nt
