[curiousdemo]

7. IOW...let'em cry "socialist!"...

...they're going to anyway. Do the right thing. We aren't operating in the dark here. We have current and past cases to help guide decisions. We know what doesn't work. A little common sense and authority, please.

[NBachers]

41. If you hear someone say "socialism" ask them to define socialism

[Norrin Radd]

8. kr

Bust 'em up!

[Aethertek]

Follow the link to youtube - favorite & rate up...Smoking commentary!
Need this on the front page of utube...

Kevin~

[slay]

11. Good advice Aethertek

And welcome to DU!

[bjobotts]

10. If Only huh.. The money liars lose nothing personally by bankrupting the country.

[carnie_sf]

12. One of keith's best special comments

evah! rec'd

[aquart]

13. On this subject, he thinks just as he ought.

IOW, we agree.

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. Always a pleaure,

and a little thrill of recognizing greatness....or at least very near-greatness.

[jeff30997]

15. Keith&R

Is it me or there really was a pig jumping up and down in that video?

[EnviroBat]

29. That pig was jumpig up and down like the helmet he is.

When the revolution happens, I want to see that fucker roasted on a spit.

[Grinchie]

16. He speaks the Truth, Corporations have taken control and hold us hostage.

The Too Big To Fail organizations can shut down the economy in a second. They can cause food shgortages, Fuel prices to rise astronomically, and can layoff millions of workers at will.

What Government could sustain itself or say no to organizations that wield that much control? Not many would have the balls.

[Serenitynow]

17. Hurray for KO

Telling it like it is.

[olegramps]

18. Torches and Pitchforks!

I wonder how low it will take for all those people who have had their 401K savings wiped out to show up at the gated communities of the crooks with torches and pitchforks and start erecting a guillotine. Just how long can the common people tolerate the management of corporations awarding themselves millions of dollars in bonuses while losing billions of the common peoples' money? Just how long?

[EnviroBat]

30. Not much longer...

[pokercat999]

31. How long were people held as slaves in this country?

The people will tolerate this outrage to their death by the millions and the corporations know that as fact.

It may get much, much worse.

[democrat0986]

19. i'm ready to grab my pitchfork and my torch.

well said olbermann

[EnviroBat]

28. I hope so.

There are some in my neighborhood that are "talking" lately, and it ain't about puppies and kittens...

[NBachers]

42. Just watch out for provocateurs

But be sure to include your local hate media outlets in your plans.

[meegbear]

20. YOU GO GIRL!!

[florida08]

21. Enough!

Break up the banks
Regulate the financial industries within an inch of their existances
Roll back coporate legal protections

220 million owed in back taxes by 13 companies that got bailouts! You said it brother Enough!

[pleah]

22. K&R

[yy4me]

23. Right on, Keith. Do we all think that his comments, great as they

are, will be followed by the greedy entities that caused you and I to lose our jobs, our retirement, our health?

That same bail-out money could pay for healthcare, for jobs, for education. Instead, we find ourselves pinching pennies, worrying when our unemployment benefits will run out, where our retirement money went. Now what are we to do?

With respect due to younger workers, find yourself a job where you can use skills that are essential. Keep up your training, take night courses, whatever you can to help yourself become a member of some "can't do without" group. Old timers like me cannot do the same. Never mind the retraining comments I hear. There becomes a point where the mind and body just do not absorb the rigors of 40 hours a week, back to the books, redirect yourself ideals.

We have worked a productive lifetime, the whatever we have left is shorter by time and circumstance.

Do yourself a favor while you can. Grab this broken economy in a selfish, self-serving way. Protect you and yours. No-one else will.

[provis99]

56. I'm betting you didn't get paid for as hard as you worked either

That's the essential problem with the way things have gone since Reagan. Workers are producing far more than they get back in wages, and the lazy millionaires suck up the rest to spend on gold umbrella stands and $300 Kobe beef burgers. Dammit, if people just got paid for the work they actually did, I would complain a lot less.

[4dsc]

24. Populism is on the rise

and the corporate powers will not like it.. Now if only we can light a match under our so called representative to try and represent us instead of the corporate interest, we may have a fighting chance..

[pokercat999]

32. When will you understand YOU HAVE NO REPRESENTATIVES

the congress is bought and paid for by the corporations and will remain so until the are replaced by election, law or revolution.

[Apollo11]

25. I just gave this a 5-star rating on YouTube

Plus of course a recommend here on DU!

[1776Forever]

26. Thanks for reminding me - I just did that too! Cannot be said enough - ENOUGH!

[EnviroBat]

27. Many of us are weary of forgiving Keith.

This is corporate fascism, and the Bush administration delivered it to all of us. In our dumb complacence, and debt-based existence of servitude, we signed for it. We signed for it and went on consuming the next season of American Idol, or dancing with the fucking stars. I think we may be too late to reverse this course, as even the current administration, which we fought and bled for, may just be all for show.

You see, these thieving bastards are taking nothing more than a slap on the wrist for all of their corruption. Merely buying their time, while they scheme even more elaborate methods of circumventing law, and decency. And our elected officials feign outrage under the auspices of representing us.

They've taken the money and fucking run boys and girls. And believe this. They are sitting up there in those big, multi-million dollar offices, smoking cigars, and drinking 18 y.o. Scotch, and they are laughing. They are laughing at what complete suckers we are. They are laughing at our newly elected President. They are laughing behind the scenes with the likes of Geitner, and Dodd. They are laughing while strolling through their summer house in Tuscany. They are laughing at the bailout that we supplied, and they have already pissed away. All the while holding their hand out for more, more, more.

No Keith, the time for forgiving is over. The quiet conversations at the local watering hole are becoming louder. People are starting to talk, at least where I live, about taking to the streets. Talking about violence, and civil disobedience. People that have lost their jobs, and homes, and feel like there's nothing left to lose. Talking about pulling money out of the banks, and defaulting on credit cards. They are talking openly about fire arms, and ammunition. They are beginning to wonder what side law enforcement, or the military will end up on when the "shit hits the fan"... During the course of such conversations, no one is fucking laughing I can assure you.

You know what? It's sounding a little less crazy with each passing day...

[truedelphi]

Really nice post. Except your header - didn't you mean

this - Many of us are weary of forgiving COMMA Keith.

otherwise it's like you are saying we are tired of forgiving Olbermann.

SOrry for nit picking./ The sentiment and rest of your article I agree with.

[DutchLiberal]

57. Bush didn't deliver it to us. Reagan did. And the old Bush. And Clinton.

George W. Bush only finished the job.

[Metta]

33. He's right on the money, as usual.

[AngryOldDem]

34. Keith...what can I say, man?

It's funny, but what the far right so deathly fears -- socialism -- is by its actions is what it's greasing the skids toward. More government regulation. More intervention. You can't deepen and widen the class divide without society caving in on itself. Then all the bonuses, perks, and wealth in the world won't mean shit.

[Beavker]

35. Really good stuff.

Meanwhile, CNBC continues it's backing of Wall Street and pounding of Government, the Administration, and hence...You. Other than the GOP right wing conspiracy theory alarmists that I have to listen to all day, CNBC is not conveying "news". It's a GOP/Wall Street opinion and ranting release channel.

People that do not drink the kool aid and watch CNBC all day need to know that they are cheerleaders for Wall Street.

[HughMoran]

36. Enough!

I almost feel like the only way these people are going to get the message is through the physical taking of their property by ordinary citizens.

[robertpaulsen]

37. Bring back that 100 year old slogan: "BUST THE TRUSTS!"

[robertpaulsen]

Olbermann: Time to get tough on bankers
Wall Street treated the bailout bill like a national blackmail scheme

[sonias]

45. Bust the Trusts!

Bust them now! Another great idea back by popular demand.

I'll it too!

Sonia

[gorfle]

39. I think...

I think we are getting very close to pitchfork time. For real.

[MessiahRp]

51. He had to have pissed his NBC boss off with the media regulation/fairness doctrine part...

You know that and the shot at CNBC's Santelli probably got him a call from that douchebag Zucker.

Rp

[lenegal]

40. I think the time is now for taking to the streets with pitchforks

These moronic so called captains of industry will not change.

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

43. and oh

such big words!

[NBachers]

44. Drag 'em out into the street

And let the rabble have their way with 'em.

[davidwparker]

46. "Bust the Trusts!" - Catchy.

[Eric J in MN]

47. Break up Citigroup!

Glad to hear Keith Olbermann say that.

I was against the 1999 bill which allowed Citigroup to be created in the first place (Gramm-Leach-Bliley which repealed Glass-Steagall.)

[soryang]

48. The next $750 Billion for the bank fraudsters...

...is in Obama's budget proposal for fiscal 2011. This is just getting started because they haven't stolen enough yet. This is why Soros says the money centers are on life support. This is the financial coup d'etat. Rather than address the necessary default on so called bank assets that has to take place and controlling it and categorizing what will be paid by taxpayers and what won't as a matter of public policy, a non committal shovelling of trillions will go on and on. Protecting the powerful rather than addressing the financial fraud directly and distinguishing it from legitimate commercial obligations which need to be supported.

In this way a three year fiscal crisis with a gradual recovery becomes a ten to fifteen year depression with the Stalinesque protection of the elite wrongdoers.

[Saphire]

49. Olberman in 2016

[wroberts189]

50. Wow.... knr

[winyanstaz]

52. Once again, a great Patriot speaks

Thank you so much for sticking your neck out for us time and time and time again.
Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do..keep up the excellent work! You are an inspiration to us all.

[tavalon]

53. I was unsure that he would have another stellar special comment since

the shrub has been repotted, but I admit I was wrong. He hit that nail solidly and into the wall it went, smooth as butter. Dayum!

[navarth]

54. I loves me some KO

[The Wielding Truth]

55. Here.Here! KO!!!! "Bust the Trusts!!!!!"

[Stuart G]

58. I sure hope Obama watches Keith...because

no one says it better. Finally got to seeing this today. Great as always.
