For those of you saying that we are jumping the shark on MSNBC/Olbermann thing
If you are right Rachel and Lawrence will be on and not watching what they say or how they interview BUT if we who believe it is a way to stiffle the "Liberal Voice" We will see Dylan, Rachel, Ed and Lawernce "Olbermanned" soon.

1. Keith Olbermann was the first commentator on teevee to take on Bush & the war. I stand with HIM.
He has come out strongly for US many times (very recently on gay marriage), if we don't support him, who will?

Not to mention, this dick move will certainly affect Maddow, Schultz and O'Donnell and the way they do their jobs.

10. Sorry if I didn't express myself right. I am angry at these people who
are saying we shouldn't be upset at what happened to Keith. Or that Keith was in the wrong.

11. No, I understood. I was agreeing w/you & reminding those people of the beginning of KO.
And someone else just reminded me of all the free clinic work KO did :cry:

2. I thought Olbermann violated a contract ethics clause. I thought he was suspended but not fired.
What did I miss?
