A-fucking-men, Mr. Olbermann

[Coexist]

a-fucking-men.

When this video gets posted I am sending it to Pelosi and Reid.

And I hope Clinton and Obama listened well to the part Keith spat out about the Iraq war vote not mattering anymore - THIS will be the vote that decides the next election.

[rndmprsn]

1. Amen... K+R

[Captain Hilts]

2. Well said! Stop fighting about who voted for IWR and talk about NOW. nt

[NightWatcher]

when the revolution comes, Keith can be our spokesman

[Swamp Rat]

3. AMEN!!

!

[Hailtothechimp]

4. Keith just laid down the law.

Dems=Neville Chamberlain

Bush=Pathetic,etc.

Reid, Pelosi=Not fit to be leaders

In short, it was as solid as I had hoped it would be.

[AlCzervik]

5. The democrats need to remember not only who brought them to the dance but why.

[katty]

60. DEMS HAVE A MANDATE-THEY FAILED AGAIN,AND AGAIN!!

[Janice325]

6. I saw it, too.

Hoo, boy!!!
k&r

[Peggy Day]

7. He forgot Dennis Kucinich nt

[Clark2008]

34. I agree.

To include Edwards - who's feckless attempt to apolgize leaves me cold - and forget Kucinich was the ONLY thing I disagreed with in Keith's rant.

[Peggy Day]

42. I agree-the rest was really good. Kucinich spent an hour on the

terrible plan to steal the oil today too. Nary a mention of it.

[fooj]

46. He was talking about the Senators that spoke up PARTICULARLY about this bill.

Edwards has spoken out about it since day one. This has NOTHING to do with a vote that was made over 5 years ago.

You're right. He did forget Kucinich. Hopefully, he will make things right tomorrow.

[Bright Eyes]

8. please tell me i'm not the only one

who got up and hugged the screen...

[Coexist]

10. my son was shushing me -

because I was hooting and "yes, sir"ing during the entire thing.

[AlCzervik]

16. my daughter heard the words "Special comment" and she said "Uh-oh, KO cut a switch"

[Coexist]

hee hee!

our kids sure know whats up, don't they!

[AlCzervik]

29. oh hell yeah, 5:oopm "It's Ko time!"

[shadowknows69]

13. Excellent screen name

You aren't the musician "Bright Eyes" are you?

<edit to add>

Welcome to DU!!!

[Bright Eyes]

18. oh i wish

i love them though. conor is one of my heros.

[Ilsa]

21. I was kissing him on the screen and offering to suck his toes. nt

[Captain Hilts]

25. Now THAT's funny. A la Dick Morris. nt

[Ilsa]

41. Hell, I wouldn't even care if he wasn't a "metrosexual" man with

unshaven feet. KO's was my man tonight, and that's the day after celebrating our fourteenth wedding anniversary. There are days when my spouse would suck KO's toes, also.

[Pithy Cherub]

9. Keith brought it and it was OUTSTANDING!

Because a president threatens to hold his breath... :woohoo: Keith:loveya: (((((((KEITH)))))))))

The Dems who did NOT LISTEN to what the Voters told them to do! We were betrayed!

KEITH:woohoo:

[Catchawave]

11. If I heard correctly during my swooning....

Keith smacked down all dems..with the EXCePTION of Edwards and Dodd !?

Kewl :patriot:

[Time for change]

31. Yes, you heard correctly

He said something to the effect of Democratic candidates being complicit in selling out on the war -- by virtue of remaining silent about the leadership caving in -- with the exception of Dodd and Edwards.

I do however think that Kucinich shouldn't be put in that category, especially given his speech about our attempt to squeeze oil concessions out of Iraq.

[mod mom]

37. Unfortunately even Keith has dismissed Kucinich already.

[fooj]

47. He also took a swat at Warner.

[AuntPatsy]

12. A must see, KO at his best, honestly, I couldn't think of anything to add.

[helderheid]

14. We should all send it to them.

[Gregorian]

15. War.

[mzmolly]

17. We have no choice but to cut funds at some point.

We're in a lose/lose situation.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I'm going to email the video to my Congressman whom I helped vote in to stop this madness!

I already emailed him, imploring him to vote against the funding bill. This will be the punctuation mark!

Bravo Keith!!!! I love this man!!!!!

[flyarm]

20. absolutely 100% correct and perfect!! could not in any way say it better!! eom

[BrklynLiberal]

22. As soon as KO was done, I went to my computer and wrote to both my Senators (Clinton and Schumer).

The text read-
"If you support this cave-in to the Bush administration, and do not fight for troop removal from Iraq, I can guarantee that neither I nor any of the people I know will be voting for you at anytime in the future."

[peaches2003]

30. Hillary

doesn't have the integrity to vote what she believes no matter what. She has to see which way the wind is blowing before she opens her mouth. Won't say a thing about this bill yet.

[BrklynLiberal]

32. I agree. I lost respect for her a while back. ..sadly. I really wanted her to be the one.

:-(

[Kurovski]

43. She could see which way the wind was blowing.

Olbermann made that direction clesr.

It's all a matter of which master you think she's serving.

[bklyncowgirl]

23. THANK YOU KEITH!

[ClayZ]

24. Right On, K.O.

K and R

[Time for change]

26. Great speach

Keith never ceases to amaze me.

[bvar22]

27. Keith was ON FIRE!!!!

ThankYou KO.

[peaches2003]

28. Unbelievable!

As terrific as KO's comments always are, there has been nothing like this before. He said exactly what needed to be said to the people that need to hear it- Bush, Reid, Pelosi, Hillary, Obama, Biden (unfortunately, he's too smart for this shit), and the rest of the Dems who vote for this. There is no one left except Edwards and Dodd. Edwards has more guts than I thought he had.

[shireen]

33. despair gets deeper

my heart sinks everytime I hear of a soldier's death or the civilan bomb victims. It defies logic to see how our elected officials are conducting the peoples' business.
it's too much to bear.

:cry:

[high density]

35. Agree completely

Time to stop the bullshit, Dems!

[TahitiNut]

36. Countdown replay at 12 midnight EDT ... yummy.

Definitely worth an encore.

[IndianaGreen]

44. I am watching the replay now

Can't get over Monica saying she was student body president.

Waiting for KO's special comment. It should sound better the second time.

:popcorn:

[TahitiNut]

48. Yep. Sounds good no matter how often I hear it. Bravo!

:applause:

[bbgrunt]

38. thank you KO. A little relief as all our outrage is given voice on msm.

[magellan]

39. I too was disappointed he didn't mention Kucinich

...the Dems' Churchill. But apart from that oversight (for which there's no excuse), KO was right on.

Now the question: does Keith's views on this make him one of the "liberal left", or do they make us mainstream?

[DeepModem Mom]

40. KO&R!

[Blackhatjack]

45. KO was right to point out that Edwards & Dodd were on the right side opposing this war...

KO may be right --this could be a vote that has long coattails.

And both Edwards and Dodd could get the boost they deserve for being on the right side of this issue. Kucinich deserves to occupy the same space.

Should be interesting.

[Posteritatis]

49. Even for Olbermann, ouch!

That was beautiful.

[Brundle_Fly]

50. this war of LIES.

God Bless KO

[yurbud]

51. if you call their office in the middle of the night, you could leave it as voicemail

[libodem]

52. Crazy

I listened to it again first thing this morning and said AMEN when it was done. It is a prayer.

[populist101]

53. Couldn't have said that any better...

Some call the democrats weak, or spineless or ineffective. I call them complicit in the crimes of this government.

The time to end this war is now. Not next year, not next fall, and not when these politicians tell us we should end it - which seems to be never.

Now.

55. KO, we love you.

We love you. We love you. Did I mention that we love you? :patriot:

I wonder how many new fans you have now.

[Hutzpa]

56. Until they start ....

acting right, I've change the name from Democrats to Demorats or bunch of DemoPussies.
Why oh why are we still here waiting. I'm completely outrage just like Keith

[Brigid]

57. I've seen KO angry before . . .

during his special comments, but last night was just amazing. Why is it the Dems can't get their heads wrapped around the fact that the American people are behind them in wanting to end this war? :banghead:

[OneGrassRoot]

58. My only request of KO:

Please quit referring to dipshit as "sir." That is a term of respect (IMHO), one Bush has not earned whatsoever.

Mr. Bush is fine....glad he doesn't refer to him as president (he hasn't for a long time, right?).....but please eliminate "sir" when you refer to dipshit.

[katty]

59. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM-COWARDS!
