i LOVE this man...Olberman. Alot of people keep saying...why bring up race?? only because there are crazy people out here still 'in spirit' in the 1950's
All the signs are there that the GOP is circling the drain. Fortunately, the American people figured this out four years ago and won't allow the country to be dragged down with them. THIS is the will of the American people, Mr. Boehner.
If you found out that 9 year olds were working 16 hours, and losing limbs, would you or anybody else keep buying their products? I would hope now. That's how the free market works. I'm not so naive that to suggest that no regulation is needed buy this government has clearly overstepped its bounds. I'm not sure how to address your last sentence. Was that a question?
Shame on you MSMBC for sending this guy out on the public air waves with a loaded diaper. He has the right to have his ass powdered and a fresh diaper every show. Just my opinion !!!!!
This is why I love you so much !You find the vile ,the evil ,the bigoted and the disgusting and you call them out ! I love you ! Thank you for the job you and Rachel Maddow are doing ! God bless you both!
I have long supported health care for more than ten years, but it's only been recent that I've been called every name in the book including the favorites like "socialist." It's easy to get caught up in an avalanche of hate which plowed through supposed courteous political discourse. Instead it has been school ground tactics which I have often been guilty of. People in this country are more worried about how much will be taken out of their pocket instead of what's good for the community.
Anyone remember when Republicans were men like Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley Jr., or even Nelson Rockefeller? Even if you never agreed with them, you could at least respect them, as educated and civil, men of conviction. But theses days... I just hope my dog never bites a Repug. It would probably poison her.
I'm sorry but anyone calling John Lewis the "N" word deserves a minimum 90 days in jail followed by bigotry courses and 3 months probation. John Lewis a good man...... that just makes me sick to hear of the blatent disrespect.
FOR THE 1 MILLION TIME PEOPLE: O'Bama is NOT black or African American HE IS IRISH like me. His mother was 100% irish, his Fahter was 2% irish so he is 51% irish.
Of course its a freedom. Just because you don't like it or find it offensive does not make it physical harmful or infringing on someone on a person life. The first amendment does not exclude offensive speech.
I just love watching people use profanity. They actually think they are insulting whoever they are calling names at, when in reality, they are showing how dumb they are.
No penalty for not having Health Care. BS. Olbermann gets wrong again. Because when you fill out your TAX forms at the end of the year, the IRS is going to ask if you have Health Care Ins.. If you mark no, you end up paying an additional tax. Sounds like a penalty to me.
I took Keith's lunch money from him a long time a go. Given the chance I would do it again. But this time I kick him in the face, balls and ass. Then I'd laugh.
Wow what an angry angry angry man. I really can't stand listening to that tone, no matter what the substance of what he is saying. I can't stand any of those Americans who shout at the camera, except, of course, Stephen Colbert. Doesn't he realize he sounds just like Glen Beck when he froths at the mouth like that?
@HokiesAndDawgs - Yeah, it didn't happen in front of a bunch of security and people gathered. Congressmen usually walk around completely alone with no staffers.
@cecryerjr I don't know that we would have avoided 9/11, but I would agree that, with 8 months in office and the knowledge carried over from the Clinton years about Al Qaeda, Gore would definitely have done a LOT more than Bush did and *probably* would have headed it off. I think the housing bubble would have happened regardless, but Iraq wouldn't have, and this country would be broke when the recession started. The recovery would have started much sooner and therefore been more effective.
@juansihi ... No he doesn't. And even if he did, it would be the People who voted it in, the people who supported it, and the people who would uphold it. Not the democrats, not Obama. Get a fucking grip on reality.
@zacky89 Zacky.... oh Zacky. I wanna believe you brother... I really do. I just have trouble listening to a Jim Jones look-a-like from Denmark. I don't know what it is.... its just a hang-up for me I guess. From what I hear... things are going stellar in Europe... so I understand your distain for the "GOP". BUT... I think we'll let you guys work out your differences and see where you land before we let the US go to shit.... no offense.
@greenthumbguy1 Because him and others close to the administration know what the agenda is... which puts you, and others, in the dark. If you honestly don't think Socialism is the agenda of the President and most Democrats in Congress, after the countless examples that have been seen, then you're too far out of the loop to bother with. BTW... what if his agenda was openly Socialist? Would you care? Because if not, then this convo is pointless.
@HerbertHKohl What theory? I said regulation is needed. Maybe you're talking about consumers that would reject their good being made in that manner. Wouldn't you reject it??? BTW... what recourse do you have when your sence of "I'm getting screwed by the corporations" is transferred from the corporations to the government. Who are you going to go to, when its the government who is screwing you?
@obey52 so if I get sunburn and my skin turns red does that make me american indian? If I get jaundis and my skin gets yellow am I ??? Skin color is NOT your nationality, your bloodline is. Obama not far from Obrian like me. I am 100% irish my son is 50% irish, so Obama @61% irish is more irish than my son.
@obey52 wrong, Obama does not claim to be black, skin color does not make one majority african. Obama says he is an african american and thats what his supporters claim. When your 51% irish blood line and 49% african blood line claiming your african is just fradulent math.
@Omniceros I don't think it will. I love him myself. I did not know of him much till the web and a friend watched him. I looked him up and found I can watch him. It is on his page on the bottom of the countdown page the link to the podcast. I copy the link and play in in real player myself.
@csgforme No, I wouldn't care because we live in a country that is governed for the people by the people. We elect the people that represent us. They spend time and money telling us what they want to do and we either vote for them or against them. It's not rocket science. If the majority of the people want something, how is that tyranny? If 75% of the people voted to abolish alcohol use, 25% of the population would be outraged. So, what? Stop belly-aching. You lost.
@disepix3 I didnt say that. They are just as bad, but Olbermann seems to talk down to everyone, his enemies and his supporters. He is the type of guy who I could see strapping on a grenade vest.
@m96c40 It's a figure of speech. My point was words can hurt and just because we have the first amendment doesnt' mean you should say any/everything you want to.
Callng a president an offensive name is not the same as threatened him. Its unamerican to legislate offensive speech. Do me a favor and take off your rose tinted obama glasses and read the 1st amendment over and overr again.I expect it to take you until the next presidential election to grasped the full meaning behind the 1st amendment if you can't even distinguish between name calling and actual threats or you conflate the two.
@unameitltd yes skin colour isn't your nationality but then again "black" isn't a nationality eather as for being sunburnt and having jaundies thoughs are medical conditions if im born in lets say america and my parents are from south africa for what ever reason also have an amount of white in them and i turned out to be white YES i am white and not black to say he is not black because of his parents roots is like saying the sky isn't blue because theres also clouds in it
@jordanglobalcom like they where going to kill the health care bill..after all fox news called the shoots on that(and look at what just happend? rotflmao@you
@csgforme Sorry, but I have little or no respect for Al Sharpton. I watched the vid. He said when the American people voted for Obama, they voted for socialism. So what? Who cares what Sharpton says, and what does it have to do with my comment?
How are we going to pay for more entitlements if our country is broke and going deeper in to a hole. Eventually the printing of money will have to stop. Eventually the debts we owe will have to be repaid. All 12t+ of it. The problems we face are due to both parties. The problems we face are not fixable. Do yourself a favor and learn about other countries and empires that used a fiat based monetary system and excessive money printing. They all failed. History is truth because it repeats itself.
@LiberalDemocrat83 This could be the easiest response I've ever made to a drone. Please see the 5:16 mark of the following youtube video. watch?v=HT1ar9cZZ0U In that video, you'll hear the term "self-insured", and lest you believe that Mr. Olbermann owns his own insurance company - "self-insured" means you'll use your own money to pay for your health care. Please do your homework if your going to engage me.
@nly8nchz Olbermann is an angry man! He does do a good satirical news program! I enjoy his dictator like rants, its a reminder why people like him need to leave this country.
@greenthumbguy1 Hey guy. How you doin'? Hey, I was wondering. Did you catch Al Sharptons appearance on Fox News Sunday during the vote? No? Thats too bad. Had you been watching, you would know something that you currently don't seem to. Heres a youtube video you might be interested in. watch?v=mqojWrtnieI Oh well... I guess you can't know everything... but you should at least try to learn something. Bye bye now.
Oh yeah and I’m in Iowa. I’m losing my health insurance at the end of this year thanks to Obamacare and I’m going to have to pay $300 a year for not having insurance. Oh shit!
This is why I love you so much !You find the vile ,the evil ,the bigoted and the disgusting and you call them out ! I love you ! Thank you for the job you and Rachel Maddow are doing ! God bless you both!
i LOVE this man...Olberman. Alot of people keep saying...why bring up race?? only because there are crazy people out here still 'in spirit' in the 1950's
This is chilling to watch 14 years later.
because all that happened is that it got worse
All the signs are there that the GOP is circling the drain. Fortunately, the American people figured this out four years ago and won't allow the country to be dragged down with them.
THIS is the will of the American people, Mr. Boehner.
The BEST Olbermann yet.
Holy crap...an american who gets it. I guess I should have a little more faith in the USA
Ahhhh! It's refreshing to hear the truth, even the "brutal" truth, and no one deliver it like Keith! Keep kicking ass Olbermann! We're with you bro!
Yep. The Tea Party knows it too, and the RNC leadership does too.
I just Love Keith Olbermann's Wit and Wisdom. He is a real hero!
don't forget his wacky sense of humor. ;-)
The hate grew and grew and grew. Abe what have you done.
God he's good. And his new podcast is also fantastic. I was surprised how much I missed his clear voice.
To being called a socialist I will say this.
"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
If you found out that 9 year olds were working 16 hours, and losing limbs, would you or anybody else keep buying their products?
I would hope now. That's how the free market works.
I'm not so naive that to suggest that no regulation is needed buy this government has clearly overstepped its bounds.
I'm not sure how to address your last sentence. Was that a question?
Olbermann has some shit to say. Listen up people.
Go Keith!
"Behind the wheel of a political Toyota" LOL Great line!
Shame on you MSMBC for sending this guy out on the public air waves with a loaded diaper. He has the right to have his ass powdered and a fresh diaper every show. Just my opinion !!!!!
The F is up with people looking at the color of their skin in the US?
This is why I love you so much !You find the vile ,the evil ,the bigoted and the disgusting and you call them out ! I love you ! Thank you for the job you and Rachel Maddow are doing ! God bless you both!
@hoverlover747 I hope they get so far in their crazy abadonment truth and logic, that the uncaring majority will wake up and reject 'em.
I have long supported health care for more than ten years, but it's only been recent that I've been called every name in the book including the favorites like "socialist."

But theses days... I just hope my dog never bites a Repug. It would probably poison her.
I love his tangents. My very favorite newsman!
Keith's back! One of the signs of the Republican apocalypse!
Very well said Mr Olberman
I'm sorry but anyone calling John Lewis the "N" word deserves a minimum 90 days in jail followed by bigotry courses and 3 months probation.
John Lewis a good man...... that just makes me sick to hear of the blatent disrespect.
@Omniceros
Google "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and watch each new episode online for free, my friend.
FOR THE 1 MILLION TIME PEOPLE:
O'Bama is NOT black or African American
HE IS IRISH like me.
His mother was 100% irish, his Fahter was 2% irish so he is 51% irish.
I don't watch keith olbermann, but this is an excellent critique
What a great speaker.
@Willjk89 :)
i love this man. pity ireland has no such personality
Of course its a freedom. Just because you don't like it or find it offensive does not make it physical harmful or infringing on someone on a person life. The first amendment does not exclude offensive speech.
You tell 'em Keith!
Are you kidding?
Cartoon Channel beat MSNBC in the ratings last week. You hadn't heard?
Yeah, no one's scared of big bad Keith.
this guy should take on rush limbaugh and comvert him back to humanity
Thumbs UP Keith,keep up the Real World expose`
All because we had a black president. This country is sad.
that doesn't make it a helpful thing, he shouldn't encourage it so blatantly.
Interesting stuff.
Slow down Keith. You already have your base. Put it in words that can pull the right at least slightly to the left.
I just love watching people use profanity. They actually think they are insulting whoever they are calling names at, when in reality, they are showing how dumb they are.
From way down town...bang!
No penalty for not having Health Care. BS. Olbermann gets wrong again. Because when you fill out your TAX forms at the end of the year, the IRS is going to ask if you have Health Care Ins.. If you mark no, you end up paying an additional tax. Sounds like a penalty to me.

@HokiesAndDawgs - Yeah, it didn't happen in front of a bunch of security and people gathered. Congressmen usually walk around completely alone with no staffers.
Now.. who's more rediculous?
arrests???? for speaking freely????
@cecryerjr I don't know that we would have avoided 9/11, but I would agree that, with 8 months in office and the knowledge carried over from the Clinton years about Al Qaeda, Gore would definitely have done a LOT more than Bush did and *probably* would have headed it off. I think the housing bubble would have happened regardless, but Iraq wouldn't have, and this country would be broke when the recession started. The recovery would have started much sooner and therefore been more effective.
you can watch him via the web daily. About ten PM. find the podcasts and you can play it. I do that.
@Coelacanth1938 Indeed! And now it has resurrected itself within the ranks of the Democrat Party. It's sad, isn't it!
Ahahahahahahahaha, a political Toyota. Reps are rotten.
Hell yeahaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Obama for 3rd term.
@juansihi ... No he doesn't.
And even if he did, it would be the People who voted it in, the people who supported it, and the people who would uphold it. Not the democrats, not Obama. Get a fucking grip on reality.
@zacky89
Zacky.... oh Zacky.
I wanna believe you brother... I really do.
I just have trouble listening to a Jim Jones look-a-like from Denmark. I don't know what it is.... its just a hang-up for me I guess.
From what I hear... things are going stellar in Europe... so I understand your distain for the "GOP". BUT... I think we'll let you guys work out your differences and see where you land before we let the US go to shit.... no offense.
whoa, hold on a sec here Keith...toyota's are still good P)
@KingMKLA
Are you going to tell me that the debt that our government is in is a GOOD thing?
wow
@greenthumbguy1
Because him and others close to the administration know what the agenda is... which puts you, and others, in the dark.

@obey52 so if I get sunburn and my skin turns red does that make me american indian? If I get jaundis and my skin gets yellow am I ???
Skin color is NOT your nationality, your bloodline is.
Obama not far from Obrian like me. I am 100% irish my son is 50% irish, so Obama @61% irish is more irish than my son.
lol, nice Maurice Maeterlinck quote... :)
@obey52
wrong, Obama does not claim to be black, skin color does not make one majority
african.
Obama says he is an african american
and thats what his supporters claim.
When your 51% irish blood line and 49% african blood line claiming your african
is just fradulent math.
@zeroisonandoniszero the same way conservative have become irrelevent
@Omniceros I don't think it will. I love him myself. I did not know of him much till the web and a friend watched him. I looked him up and found I can watch him. It is on his page on the bottom of the countdown page the link to the podcast.
I copy the link and play in in real player myself.
OMG KEIth Olberman. . . did i just fall in love with u?
@KingMKLA
I did not say anything about Glenn Beck. You are small minded assuming that I am a Glenn fan just because I am not Keith fan.
@csgforme No, I wouldn't care because we live in a country that is governed for the people by the people. We elect the people that represent us. They spend time and money telling us what they want to do and we either vote for them or against them. It's not rocket science. If the majority of the people want something, how is that tyranny?

@ZyklonPsyklon you're right, we need more glenn becks and rush limbaugh in the America to give it to us straight. wait... what?
@disepix3 I didnt say that. They are just as bad, but Olbermann seems to talk down to everyone, his enemies and his supporters. He is the type of guy who I could see strapping on a grenade vest.
Pwned.
@WhenLilacsLast
Not to mention a ton of fundie nutjobs that

And live in the past.

Does anyone actually watch Olbermann?? He's lost his mind.
@Guernicaman with any luck it will turn out to be either in a earthquake zone or a doment but still ACTIVE volcano...i can but hope!
@anonymityismyname You didn't say that face to face with a southerner did you?
Gosh, I wonder why not.
Shove it, Boy!
oops a daisy. I fucked that up - sorry dude
@unameitltd
yes skin colour isn't your nationality
but then again "black" isn't a nationality eather
as for being sunburnt and having jaundies thoughs are medical conditions
if im born in lets say america and my parents
are from south africa for what ever reason also have an amount of white in them
and i turned out to be white YES i am white and not black
to say he is not black because of his parents roots is like saying
the sky isn't blue because theres also clouds in it
anyone wanna bet he is wetting himself?
Go Tea Party, keep growing and growing and growing. Olbermann hates the Tea party. He spews his hate and complains about others hate. What a joke.
@Coelacanth1938 The followers did, the leaders traded in the sheets and crosses for suits and politcal luncheons.
@jordanglobalcom like they where going to kill the health care bill..after all fox news called the shoots on that(and look at what just happend? rotflmao@you
@zacky89
Ahhh.. Boston. That explains your intimate disenchantment with the GOP.
Enjoy DK.
@Coelacanth1938 The KKK was at my college a few months ago giving a rally-Ole Miss
@csgforme Sorry, but I have little or no respect for Al Sharpton. I watched the vid. He said when the American people voted for Obama, they voted for socialism. So what? Who cares what Sharpton says, and what does it have to do with my comment?
@unameitltd
yes he is black please look at his skin, you may be correct but his skin IS black
@jedimastervandar How is it offensive??? It's totally true..... , deal with the truth?
@golfmanjeff You obviously watched him...
@LostFREEDOM Yes the economy is in such good shape that they shouldn't worry about money (sarcasm).
How are we going to pay for more entitlements if our country is broke and going deeper in to a hole. Eventually the printing of money will have to stop. Eventually the debts we owe will have to be repaid. All 12t+ of it. The problems we face are due to both parties. The problems we face are not fixable.

This is so much funnier now. Hey Olbermann: YOU LOST! YOU FAILED! YOU BLEW IT!
