"It is a freaking war out there" Keith Olbermann 7/21/2010

A righteous rant..

1. You betcha!

2. The One Line...

...I took with me was: They are not only attacking YOU Mr. President, they are attacking our country. THIS is why Obama needs to confront this.

[Peacetrain]

3. Yes.. he took no prisoners and laid it all out.. kudos to Keith..

[Hansel]

And it's about time they figured that out.

6. O'Donnell and Maddow pulled the info together so I could understand what happened; Olbermann ...

... expressed it vividly with the righteous wrath it so deserves.

Our President, to my personal chagrin, was wrong to try to stand above this affair and the others that preceded it, as it seems he did.

I think Keith is right: the time has come for Obama to roll up his sleeves and indeed his pants-legs, and wade out into the muck that is the war being waged on our country from within.

IF NOTHING ELSE, every single department and office in the US government needs to post this note: CONSIDER THE GODDAMNED SOURCE.

7. It should be tattooed on all our foreheads..

"consider the source"

9. Wouldn't you know it...

... I had to run an errand tonight. I got home just as Keith was starting his SC.

Then my grandson came in and started asking me questions about something-or-other I don't even remember. I picked back up with Keith just as he was finishing. Grrrr....

I'll catch it on the rerun after Rachel.

11. Be sure to catch it, Diamonique. If people keep interrupting you...

... tell them that the last 20 minutes are YOURS and you'll deal with them later. That way you'll be sure not to miss it. I am not sure exactly when he started his comments because my clock is off, but if I say "10 minutes of" and you miss part of it you'll be mad ;-)

It's no secret that I love and admire this president, but this incident is making me sick.

Rachel is absolutely right -- last night she went through the ACORN incident, once again pointed out all the ways the RW is deliberately doing this, and asked, "Who's next?" It's their signature TACTIC. It should be no surprise by now.
