Reply #54: You are missing the context - and thus, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG...

[file83]

Olbermann is talking about Rummy's speech in which he accused the Liberals/Left Wing/non-Bush supporters/Anti-War Movement of being the equivalent of Nazi appeasers. He's talking about he Secretary of Defense saying that.

Out of context, the "no one" phrase seems like a sweeping generalization by Olbermann of all Americans not having that right (which you pointed out, they so obviously do), but he's not talking about all Americans. Olbermann's talking about a "no one" in the Bush Administration having that right.

The reason why this is important, and Olbermann is correct, is that if the Bush Administration has that right to call us what ever they want, at THAT LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY, then they ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT to treat us in that manner, up to and including: torturing us, imprisoning us, executing us...

That's why the context is important - and you missed it. Try harder to seek the context of the statement, at least as hard as you tried to seek it out of context. :eyes:
