Keith Olbermann Delivers One Hell Of a Commentary on Rumsfeld

Olbermann delivered this commentary with fire and passion while highlighting how Rumsfeld’s comments echoes other times in our world’s history when anyone who questioned the administration was coined as a traitor, unpatriotic, communist or any other colorful term. Luckily we pulled out of those times and we will pull out of these times.
Remember - Rumsfeld did not just call the Democrats out yesterday, he called out a majority of this country. This wasn’t only a partisan attack, but more so an attack against the majority of Americans.

Well said, Mr Olbermann. You are more than worthy to carry Murrow’s torch of courageous journalism. In this era of corporate-owned, profit driven media, Olbermann is a rare voice of dissent and outrage, an example to all of us who haven’t been permanently dumbed down by the bombastic ranting of FOX “news” and empty-headed hateful diatribes spewed by the ever hypocritical Limbaughs and O’Reillys. Keep speaking truth to power, Mr. Olbermann, and hopefully we’ll follow your example.
Hear,hear,Bill. One helluva piece of writing delivered with genuine passion. Needed a spot of nip and tucking, but rates up there with Colbert skewering Bubble Boy live at the Media Annual Dinner.
Couple of salvoes like this until the first week of November might be just enough to dampen the October Surprise.
