My eyes were opened wide by your clear reporting of McCain. I have been a Republican for as long as I could vote, but after recent years, I had my doubts about the truth. Thank you your an excellent journalist, and I am looking forward to learning more.

Regarding Keith Olbermann's Special Comments of June 12 on McCain's "not too important" remarks: thank you!! Your points were powerful, cogent and moving. I'd love to hear McCain try to refute any part of your comments, especially those quoted by him at various times during the Iraq War and those made more recently. Keep the pressure on, Keith. We cannot allow McCain to be elected.

Congratulations to Keith Oberman, Dan Abrams and MSNBC for the honest, straighforward commentary on McCain tonight. Rarely have I seen such a fine display of "in your face" journalistic and I commend all for having the courage to air this commentary. Would make Hunter Thompson proud!

It just occurred to me how well Keith Olbermann channels Ed Murrow during these special comments. The transcripts are as compelling to read as the broadcasts are to watch. Bravo, Keith.

Keith, thank you for calling this out. McCain's attitude is reprehensible. I cried when I heard about the suicides.

Thank you Keith Olbermann! You said what we have all be thinking and it is important, especially in today's context, that we step back and take a look at the big picture while remembering the individuals who have lost their lives while serving for our military. For they are the ones we need to be looking after, not our own political interests.

Very sobering Mr. Olberman... I honestly don't know if I want to cry, scream in outrage, or both. Once again you manage to hit the mark and touch a nerve at the same time. I just wish for once, for one fleeting moment that those that are supposed to be serving us in the White House could feel this way too...

Wow! Tonight's Special Comment was incendiary. Kudos for a well designed, well delivered critique. This type of journalistic effort raises the level of political civility and integrity. Sure, many will kneejerk due to the target of this commentary, but the politician in this case is "not too important." Journalists should question every politician caught on the wrong side of right on issues with such dire consequences.

Very effective comment, Mr. Olbermann. It really is a shame how McCain has changed, and your somewhat quieter demeanor tonight brings the point home. Thanks again.

Thank you again, Keith, for a wonderful "Special Comment." What would I do without you, our very own Edward R. Murrow?

You're right. Olbermann's "special comments" are not too important ... in fact, not important at all. Then why the hype? Only a handful of people watch anyway.

Ashley Clos, Raleigh, NC — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:57:07 GMT

Right on Keith. Couldn't have said things better myself. After this I can't possibly understand how someone would vote for this man. He's nothing more than a carbon copy of George W. Bush

Dear God, PLEASE! Do not let this man be elected. Please open the eyes of this nation. If we elect John McCain then we are truly doomed.

I was so impressed with the Special Comment last night by Keith. It was said with such clarity and emotion that it almost sounded like the voice of the majority of Americans at this time. Is it any wonder why record numbers are turning out to be part of politics this year? I predict McCain will start talking of how a Draft which would be needed by 2013, "Won't matter too much." Because by 2013, no parent will be allowing their child to head off to an endless war and, "Not matter too much."

Keith Olberman, You Sir, are a breath of fresh air. I must confess that I've been FEEDING ON FOX FILTH. After hearing your comments regarding John Mccains I now know that we can't afford a bush 3rd term. My prayer is for our troops everwhere to come home.
Thank you for your clear unbiased comentary.

Brilliant. Your rants are fair, to the point, and full of passion. Your particular style of editorializing is remarkable. As a long time fan (yes, including your sports commentating) I find your "special comments" to be food for thought and ponder.

PS - congrats on thumping Billo last week. Keep it up!

Well said Keith! Maybe if Cheney or Bush's daughters
had signed up for a tour in Iraq, they might have a different mindset.

Hello Keith, I love your show; you are a gifted spokesperson, and you are always on target with the pulse of the political campaign. That being said, I just wanted to comment that those glasses that you wore tonight, June 23rd, do not do you justice. All I saw were those thick brown glasses and not your gorgeous face. You are truly a handsome guy, please go back to the other glasses.
