Dear Mr. Olbermann,
Thank you from all rational people everywhere for finally identifying our President as the leader of a dictatorship, for that is what it is. He has indeed betrayed us as have all who have done his bidding and elected him. It's a good feeling at last not to have to beat around the Bush.

The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people.

Bush and his right-wing cronies have put this great country on the road to down right fascism. He should be impeached and imprisoned but instead the tax-payer will have to support his sorry for the rest of his life while it takes decades to undo his "evil-doings"!

It is time more people got together and forced a change to the sham that is going on in Washington. There used to be a time that we could do this, but now those who speak out get Tasered or stifled by the jack-boot that masquerades as law enforcement in the country. It will only get worse with the Ministry of Homeland Security.

It is truly funny to hear you react so vehemently to the very same types of comments that your type continually spew and lash out at those on the Repubic... oops... Republican Party. I sense that we hit too close to your flawed truth when your pompous reaction is so full of elitist jibberish. Maybe the true misnomer of the discussion is Democratic Party - maybe it needs to be changed to the Soros Party. The Democratic Party wreaks of and has finger prints of his ever looming and omnipotent presence permeating throughout it. Wouldn't want you to allow someone to "dis" your sugardaddy, aka - George Soros. He's become the creeping malaise of the movement to discredit those things that this country holds dear - you know.. things like honesty, trustworthiness, honor, truth - heaven forbid that those things would continue to be propulgated and stood up for by leaders for which you give absolutely no respect or credit for standing up for right vs. wrong. I think your view suffers from the fallacy that there is no black and white - there are just mutliple shades of gray. Your vision, in my never so humble opinion, is flawed and suffers from a foggy and clouded perspective.
Good night, and good luck.

Now THAT is what I call "playing hurt"! BRAVO!

As an aside, it looks like the WH has found a new Jeff Gannon, in that Washington Examiner reporter that played the "allez" to Chimpy's "oop."

Also, during the debate on the "BAD MoveOn.org! BAD MoveOn.org" amendment, Sens. Boxer and Durbin got in the face of John "Yes, There Are More Idiots In Texas" Cornyn, who was bleating out the talking points about how horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible MoveOn's ad was. They asked what the difference was between the MoveOn ad and the egregious (AHH-OOH-GAHH!) dumped on Kerry and on Max Cleland. Cornyn said that Kerry and Cleland were politicians, and should expect that kind of thing.

(Boxer put up a competing amendment to Cornyn's, using the same language but including a line slamming ALL negative advertising such as Swift Boat and the Cleland ads. It fell 51-44, with 3 abstaining, just like there were 3 abstaining votes on the 72-25 vote. Wonder if those 3 votes are running for President. Hmmmmmmmmmm...)

Aside from the fact that there's a HUGE difference between MoveOn playing rhyming games and the RadRelRight morphing Cleland's face into Saddam Hussein, Cornyn basically said it's perfectly okay to lie like a rug if the person you're lying about is your opponent on the ballot. Guess Lincoln and Douglas went about it all wrong. You learn something new every day...

It has long irked me that ever since Gingrich's clan briefly dominated Congress, it seems that most Republicans purposefully leave the "ic" off of the end of the word "Democratic" when it refers to the Democratic Party. A disgruntled blogger can retaliate by calling the Republicans "Repubs," but this is not appropriate for respectful inter-partisan discourse. A better strategy is simply to stand up for respect.

Now someone has the spoine to question a General that the Republicans support, and President Bush calls it disgusting? When George Bush knows what it's like to be shot at, have bombs go off within feet of you; when he knows what it's like to see what it's like to lose limbs, then he'll have some moral high ground.

So far they've put us in the hole close to 500 billion dollars for this are and going deeper as they ask for more before Bush and Company slips out the back with "no new tax."

Dear Keith,
Glad you're back, you could have probably used a few more days- but we appreciate your dedication. thanks for the Primal Scream,I feel better, but not much more hopeful.
Our Democracy has been hi-jacked. We have no say in the governments agenda. They are all blowing smoke up our collective asses. I firmly believe that if we are to make any head way in resolving the Middle East crisis( Afghan, Iraq AND Iran) theis adminsitration must be de throned- impeach investigate prosecute and punished for Derelction of duty and treason. But it is obvios our Congress will not act. So I wrote a letter to the UN- asking them to follow through with their considerations to bring Bush & Cheney up on War Crimes. I also requested they use thier influence in any way they can to help US restore our Democracy and rule of law. Sad day when a citizen of a 'democratic' nation must request assistance from an exterior entity to help give the people back their voice and control over their own govt. Since our congress seems oblivious to our demand, perhaps the pressure from our global neighbors will do the trick. I would greet them as liberators, with flowers. I could even learn a new language- I'm SO PISSED and disillusioned and worried where this ride is leading with DICK at the wheel.If nothing else I want the UN to public humiliate and discredit this admin- let the world know they understand it is NOT US, it's the work of THEM. Help US regain our Democracy and we will return (build) the America we all admire and depend on.

Even though we've had 6 years of this President and his party's hypocrisy, I am still astounded at how low they can go. What they did to Max Clelland and John Kerry was unconscionable, yet they whine and cry about the moveon.org ad. I am ashamed to say that both of my Senators voted to condemn moveon.org.

How about a long piece on how Bush has stacked the deck against the rest of the country.

If congress defunds the war -- he can continue it by appropriating (stealing) money from other defense budget buckets.

If congress passes mandatory down time -- he can use (abuse?) the Reserves and the National Guard.

Next election, he can send his own mercenaries to 'blue' voting areas in 'purple' states to harass the voters -- like he did in Florida 2000.

He's got Faux News to trumpet his every lie and swift boat his every opponent.

Finally, there was no coverage of the DC peace rally over the past weekend -- whatever happened to it?

First welcome back Keith the Commentary was Right On.Does this mean the President will be criticizing
Admiral Fallon who really has a little more than MoveON about General Prateus as well as the the criticizing Senate.Admiral William J. Fallon is the head of CENTCOM, responsible not only for Iraq but for all our current and potential military activity in the region.
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=39235
It's well known in Washington circles that Admiral Fallon has a far more realistic view of the war, considers the "Surge" a failure (as do most security experts), and wants to substantially draw down our troop presence in Iraq.
I would only suggest we look to our experts Mr. President to inform us of the capabilities of our Iraq

Welcome back Keith. Allsion get a good job filling in but I really missed the wpitw and your superb "special comments". I disagreed with the moveon.org ad because it was a distraction from real issues. I've been saying for weeks since the ad came out, where was the outrage when the republicans dishonered our military veterans for political purposes in the 04 elections? Kerry could have gotten a cozy job stateside like Bush but he chose to go and fight for his country. In the meantime, Bush was in my home state of AL campaigning for republican "red" Blount and Cheney was working on deferrals 1 thru 7. For goodness sakes, Max Cleland was a double amputee. He gave both of his legs for the country he loves and republicans have the audacity to trash him. Where was the outrage? Should we take time from the Senate to condemn this action? Should we hold all republicans responsible for petty, senseless, attacks for "political purposes?" I remember even hearing the usual conservative trash like Hannity making jokes about these attacks. That should be Bill Orally's "most ridiculus item of the day." Dems need to step up to the plate and say what in their hearts and not be afraid of who they offend. Our country has been hijacked by the three stooges (Moe-Bush, Curly-Cheney, Larry-Rice)and I'm ready to take it back. The 4th and 5th stooges have already resigned (Shemp-Rumsfield, Curly Joe-Gonzo).
Once again, welcome back keith.

Oh one more thing regarding OJ. During his attorney's press conference, he was very upset about several news agencies having attorneys on shows that did not really really represent OJ although they said they did. I found it funny that one of the news agencies was FAUX news (the other was CBS morning news). Apparently they didn't do their homework and had someone on who really didn't represent OJ.

Keith,
Just wanted to echo the comments above.. I'm sooo glad you're back. My wife, who used to work in medicine, told me in pretty graphic detail about how serious a burst appendix can be. You're a real trooper and a great American.

The others are right - this may be your best comment ever. Every time I hear "our" "President" (and I'm using both terms very loosely) use the phrase "Democrat Party" I want to throw a brick at my TV set. Thank you for lobbing the proverbial brick for me. The man (as well as the Party he represents)is the personification of hypocrisy - trotting out the military as their political mouthpieces so that when the oppposition disagrees with the message they (the Republic Party) can say that Democrats don't support the military. Of course, it's ok to trash a disabled vet (Max Cleland) if he's a Democrat. What they did to him has infuriated me beyond measure - here is a man confined to a wheelchair because he lost both legs in Vietnam. Then the Republicans (headed by two men who have never fired a shot in anger) question his patriotism! How dare they!

Anyway, it's good to have you back, Keith. Hope your speedy recovery continues.

Nice posts K.Bouge/Mich., BA, David/Denver, and many others who see the handwriting on the wall here. Thanks Keith for speaking up.

The people are going to have to rise up and take back their government and their country from both sides of the isle. The Dems have not yet learned that in order to be effective they have to redefine themselves and act like they stand for something without allowing the republicans, outside organizations or other extremist personalities to define it for them. They have to become stronger and more defiant in the face of those like Bush and the current republicans. They have to study and learn the fabric of this country and what incites the American people. The have to shed themselves of this anti-war label and redefine themselves as anti-senseless-war. They need to learn how to speak to the American people without looking like has-beens, also-rans or juts plain insincere cry babies. And they need leadership beyond the bickering that will occur between the Dem front runners in the next several months. And finally they have to learn to play the game better then the republicans who can take this country down a very bad road yet have enough support to do it because they are better at defining who their oppostion is to the American people then the oppostion (the Dems) are at defining themselves.

Boy Keith O, you really told um this time. You said nothing of substance there. So he did not respond to the Israeli strikes against Syria, because there is highly sensitive diplomacy going on there, and until that has fully resolved, nothing should be said. By the way, Syria is just as dangerous as that kook from Iran. They harbor terrorist, and they aid and abet the iraqi insurgency. That sir (the phrase that you use for "emphasis"), is why that question wasn't answered.

So your thinking is MoveOn is in the right, and General Petraeus has betrayed us. Well, General Petraueus was asked to go in front of Congress. Congress wanted to hear from him, not Bush. Petraeus is on the ground so he has more objectiveness than you have in your little pinkie. Has there been some disputed evidence that contradicts his testimony, of course there is, it is not black and white, and there will be disagreements within the military.

When I read your idiotic rant called special comment, all I saw was the extreme left frothing at the mouth saying bravo, right on. But you sir, did not state one fact, you claim that war veterans lied about John Kerry without any proof.

I became so enraged at your use of the media to promote your extremist left, MoveOn.org platform. You have no credibility, you are nothing but a partisan hack sportscaster. As for the rest of you koolaid drinkers with your blinders on, wake up, and try to be objective for a change.

By the way, thank got we didn't grant Habeus Corpus to those scumbag foreign terrorists. They deserve no rights.

Methinks that '43s' hissy fit over criticism may have backfired, as referenced by the following Washington Post article.

MoveOn Unmoved By Furor Over Ad Targeting Petraeus

By Perry Bacon Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, September 21, 2007; Page A01

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/20/AR2007092001005.html

quoted from the article

"For MoveOn's supporters, the special notice from Bush may only serve to validate its confrontational style. "I think he just raised MoveOn several million more dollars," said Erik Smith, a Democratic media consultant. "

Dear Kieth,
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! For another much needed Special Comment. If only your colleagues would do the same with even half the passion.

I have made myself hoarse the last week screaming at the TV every time a pundit was asked about the "Move On Ad" and they failed to point out the abject hypocrisy and arrogance of the question even being asked after all the "military" bashing they have done to Cleland, Kerry, Clark, Webb, Hacket, Murtha, the 7 Generals and any soldier who questioned Bush policy. It drives me crazy how Bush and Cheney so blatantly hide behind the military and have done so for the last 4 years and no one points it out in the media let alone hammers them for it as they should.

Imagine if Bill Clinton had appeared only in front of military personel after bombing Afganistan during the Lewinsky affair. Or what if he had sent his General to Capital Hill during the Bosnian War when the Republicans were so against military action and "nation building." Clinton would have been skewered by the Republicans and media. I can't imagine how this president and this Republican Party could have gotten away with this without the willing cowardice of the media. Forget Katrina. The media is still tip-toeing around the Republicans because they yell the loudest and make the biggest stink when they are "offended." Get over it. Stand up for the truth and let them have their hissy fit. It will show them for the shallow cowards that they are.

Thank you for pointing out the "line" between civilian and military that should not be crossed and that the Republicans are NOT the party of the military no matter how much they proclaim or imply it. One of the biggest ignored stories last year was how 90% of the Iraq/Afganistan vets running for national office were running 90% as Democrats. That fact should have been repeated ad-nausium until the Republicans shut up.

Thank you for your show and thank you for saying what others in your profession do not have the guts to say.

I missed you so much when you were sick and I am so glad that you are back. Wednesday's show was way too much OJ.

All I could think with this Moveon.org flap was "ENOUGH WITH THAT CRAP ALREADY!!!!" And then you returned and, as usual, with a Special Comment, expressed all of my anger and rage. It is obvious that your intelligence and eloquence of expression were not surgically removed along with the appendix, and I am grateful to see it. Thank you!

Another great special comment and once again, right on the mark.

Not only is this Move-on.org criticism extremely hypocritical, considering the Swiftboat, etc., blasting that the republicans have done, when are they going to stop supporting and denounce Ann Coulter and her vile comments, like the ones she spewed about the 9/11 surviving spouses?

On another note: I was completely shocked when the President was asked about Israel's attack on Syria he had venom dripping and said, "No comment". He's the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world and he has "no comment?????" This man is the most incompetent President this country has ever had.

In my humble opinion, the NYYs have managed to become the best team in baseball, again.

As the Yankees have proven, anything can happen. It takes 162 games. Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games.

Way to go Republicans -- guess what? According to MoveOn.org, your little foray into banishing free speech may have backfired.

"By midnight, over 12,000 people had donated $500,000—more monay than they've raised any day this year—for a new ad calling out the Republicans who blocked adequate rest for troops headed back to Iraq. "

I firmly believe in Karma, and all the republicans who hate the troops, hate habeas corpus and hate freedom of speech will surely get what they deserve.

Dear Mr. Olbermann,
You keep talking about hypocrisy and Fox Noice and right-wing nuts on your TV program everynight and forget to look at your "co-worker" and how dumb and uninformed they are.
Last night I watche MSNBC and the anchor "Brizinksky" had the father of one of the 9/11 victims on her show and they were talking about Iranian President Ahmadinejad visiting ground zero.
The guest, I assume, was very uninformed and said things such as "9/11 hijackers were trained by Iran" and "people in Iran were celebrating" after 9/11 attach. Nothing is furthur from the truth. Iranian people were the only people in the Middleast who went to the streents and lit a candle in memory of the victims and Iran was one of the first countries in the region which conemds the attacks and there is absolutely not connection b/w Iranian government and 9/11 hijackers (hell, even Rush and Fox News do not make these connections).
Anyhow, your anchor "Brizinski" just sat at her anchor chair and did not bother to comment her guest that the hijackers were not trained in Iran and people in Iran did not celebrate the death of more than three thousand people.
Where do you guys find this "anchors" what is her qualifications? Does she even follow the news? Does she even know where Iran is on the map?

Actually, it's just the opposite . . . the poll numbers show that Mr. Bush's ratings have fallen even MORE since Petraeus testified and that Congress's ratings have also fallen. The reason? The majority of the people in this country know they are being lied to by the Administration and they want our troops to come home. They also know who is preventing the latter from happening . . . the game-playing Republicans in Congress. They are using our troops lives as weapons in a political game of oneupmanship.
Now, Larry, you might approve of our troops dying so that the Republican Party can take over Congress again, but you know, I care more about the lives of our troops and the well-being of their families. If the politicians want to play games, I suggest checkers . . . nobody gets hurt.

And wasn't it during the Swiftboat mess that the liberals were screaming "You aren't supposed to attack a decorated veteran!" Well, I guess it is OK if he is still serving and doesn't say what you like. WHOOPS.

I also remember that President Bush asked Senator Kerry to stand with him and denounce 527s when they were attacking President Bush. Senator Kerry declined and then 527s started attacking Senator Kerry whereupon he started whining and complaining about attack ads. WHOOPS. Maybe you should have thought twice about declining to denounce 527s attack ads, Senator Kerry.

It still burns me that this administration had to pimp General Petraeus to give them credibility. Never forget that, with very few exceptions, the republicans most supportive of this war - including the cowards in the White House - NEVER SERVED IN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY.

About the time this was going down, the Commander In Chief's Air Force accidentally flew six cruise missiles each armed with a 150 kiloton nuclear warhead from North Dakota to Louisiana. While thinking they were inert, the nukes were not guarded according to protocol for many hours.

You can tell an inert vs. nuclear armed weapon by looking in a window on the side of the device. They are color coded. The loaders missed it. The flight crew missed it. And they flew on an aircraft that was not approved to carry nukes.

As for going before congress, the Repubs wouldn't dare ask a military man to explain what is happening in Iraq and just why we sacrificed 3,700 live was a cheap total to gain there position in Iraq. "John Boehner R-OH from CNN Wolf Blitzer Situation Room". Just goes to show how much the Repubs think of our military. But their stock in the State Dept. for contracts just paid great dividends.

I, too, felt it was "lower case" Scottie, his 5:35 post had me suspicious, but small one’s 8:12 post solidified my belief. I'm glad you noticed it also, and yes, he is "dumb."!!

Put these in a book please!! We need your special comments to be preserved for posterity!

For those who can't see the truth yes there is a difference between right and wrong. Right is not using the millitary as a political tool. Wrong is using fear to win elections and get us embroiled in a neverending war on a TACTIC rather than with a country.

We should not declare a war on a way of life as we have. If another country wants to stay in the middle ages as long as they don't bother us LET THEM!

Just because you don't understand the big words or the refferences to history doesn't make them elitest jibberish. It just means you need to go back to school!

I agree JAM; however, no one should post something using another blogger's name; this was done to me and I resent it. I also believe it was Scott and madtown is correct, he gave himself away.

I have stated many times that he, Larry and Wayne all have the right to post here, no matter how vile or incorrect they are. They do not, however, have a right to use my name or anyone elses. This was madtown's point and I agree. Once that rule is violated, they should be punished.

Freedom of Speech, if only using THEIR names, and not using one of ours, agreed?

Pam, it's just a game to morons like scotty small caps. By the way, I read your suggestion and I'm sticking to small caps. I like the double meaning of it.

Everything is a game to the small-capped among us. Only by making complicated matters simple, by whittling them down to "us vs them" simplicity, can their limited intellects grasp anything.

I'm sure scotty small caps is sitting in his momma's basement in Nevada, taking a break from his seventeen times an hour self-flaggelation, just howling himself stupid...oops...excuse me...howling himself even stupider, thinking he sure put one over on you...

Even though you and everyone else on this blog knows...it was him.

See, this is the level of these people's stupidity:

Be stupid even in the face of insurmountable, irrefutable evidence you're wrong. In fact, be stupider under such circumstances.

I guess people like scotty small caps - and others - think (if you want to call it that) that if they just continue to act as stupid as they like, becoming incrementally stupider every day, sooner or later we will feel sorry for them and tell them, yes dear, you're right, just to get them to shut up and go away.

Oh, Scottie. I just saw your response to my accusation. The fact that this blog is updated so infrequently became your downfall, fool. First you wrote a comment with Pam's name on it and then turned around shortly afterward and wrote your response to her supposed original comment. The problem with your ruse is that both your fake Pam comment and your response showed up on the blog during the same update! Now, Scottie, unless you're psychic, and knew what "Pam" was going to say before it was put on this site, how were you able to respond to it? I stand by my accusation. How old are you scottie?

Wherever the hell you were doesn't even resonate with the flock. The full concern here is that "you're back."

I call it "Trickle Down Rovian Tactics" - the "Trolling Trio" of Larry, Scott and Wayne is incapable of thinking for themselves, putting a sentence together and they just spit out lies and vile, after copying and pasting. They can't even get that right!!

No wonder they still support President Jackass!!

ENOUGH’’’

How many more social programs can this admiration screw up? They are not satisfied with taking us to a war that has coast billions of dollars and precious lives. It doesn’t make any difference to these politications whose life they screw up as long as it doesn’t mess with their lives or Golden Eggs retirement and medical. What a bunch of one way, one sided excuse of human beings that we have elected.

The people should think about impeaching this whole administration and all of the senators, and congress reps this is the greatest country in the world, but ever few years we get these power hungry people that want to make changes as long as it doesn’t affect them. I have always said what is good enough for the people; it should be good enough for them. They make the laws so why can’t they live the by same laws.

I know deep down in my heart this letter will not change anything, but I am not speaking as a democrat or a republican I am speaking as American Citizen... I just do not be live that we can last another year or so. We need a change and we need it now.. End this stupid war and bring our brave men and women home, and spend the money that we are spending on the war and spend it on programs that help us all.

I won't be buying anything with "China" as the country of origin. The problem is that parts could be made in China and shipped elsewhere for assembly so you can't always tell. The same way that you think cat food is made here, but find out your dead cat was poisoned by wheat gluten imported from China. Of course, BushCo thinks this is just fine and dandy because his corporate buddies are stuffing loads of money in their pockets.

PS Pam - the trolls are in their last throes. I enjoy watching them thrash around trying to support the unsupportable. Even their talking points are failing them, so they move on to name calling and posting under someone else's name. Just think kindergarten mentality and you'll understand the trolls.

You are the ONLY mainstream media host I will check in with, because you seem to be the only one who is brave enough to get pissed off and speak the truth! Thank you for having a "Constitutional conscience" unlike some of your bobbleheaded colleagues (from other stations) who only spew total propoganda for the corporate powers that be. AMERICA is under seige by this rogue president and his administration of thugs! Citizens of every state need to get involved and take action in restoring the Constitution and DEMANDING a downsizing of government. WE THE PEOPLE are suppose to be the government, which requires exercising our constitutional rights while they are still viable!
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad."

A NEW HOPE
We all have been living in a 60 year nightmare. A vision D. Eisenhower warned of. And from this fearfull dream, this nation is waking. Our eyes are opening to our new reality for the collective first time. This new vision before us is painful to our new eyes. Many will close them again in fear.
We see that we have been placated into ignorance, lied to by the very people entrusted to preserve and ensure our freedoms. This new vision is Painful, BUT FEAR NOT, THERE IS HOPE.
When a United States Marine like myself feels his heart break for the people of this nation as I watch our own Government destroy our republic not to the sound of guns or bombs, but to the thunderous applause of those held captive by terrified patriotic blindness, as our rights and dignity are erased like the memories our own great history of freedom, guided by the propaganda of fear. HAVE NO FEAR, THERE IS HOPE.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE, THIS IS OUR NATION.
When a Marine says Semper Fi, it means a lot of things to him. Always Faithful as it is said. When I say it, I mean to the people.
With love and openness, we can all overcome ignorance, and restore our freedoms and liberty.
THERE IS STILL A HOPE.
Ron Paul
