Olbermann letting the troops speak out!!

[Clark2008]

I know this isn't technically a "voting scandal," but I'm sure he'll talk about it, so this can reside here.

For now, the man is allowing one of the soldiers who was court martialled for using armored vehicles from another division because his own was not armored to speak out.
This dovetails with the issue that troops have been scrounging through the dumps to armor their vehicles.

Get 'em, Keith!

[Patsy Stone]

1. I support the troops!

I support their right to get the hell home! I support their right to not be court-martialed. Go, KO.

[seito]

2. AMEN Patsy n/t

[Patsy Stone]

3. Also...

I'm not sure there was anything worth reporting today on our friends in Ohio. Maybe I'm wrong, and you all can flame me if you want. I was away from DU today, but I heard Randi.

[jamboi]

47. He missed the opportunity to "break" the news about Cobb's report

about Triad techs and other incidents. Big stories!

[republikkkon]

4. i'm a little slow on this...

a soldier was court martialed for looking for humvee armor in a dump? can you link me to the story?

i thought bush was giving the army everything they asked for???:eyes:

11. OP was not quite right.

This is an older case, per KO. Soldiers borrowed some trucks that didn't belong to their division, were courtmarshalled. KO interviewed soldier tonight. Commentator said, Of course we haven't heard both sides of the story but if these guys are telling the truth this is shameful, should never have been courtmartialled.

[Patsy Stone]

15. What's OP? n/t

[crispini]

21. Original Post n/t

[Clark2008]

29. Will amend OP

to show this wasn't exactly the case - but it dovetails with the Tennessee Guardsmen's question...

Thanks!

Oh - floatie hearts! Keith thread! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

14. even if they took the trailers, it should have only been a reprimand

and that reprimand should have been shredded in a year.

[Clark2008]

34. McCafferty is a smart man

and, ahem, also called my primary candidate of choice, Wesley Clark, "a national treasure." :loveya:

Therefore, I think McCafferty is a god! LOL! :)

[grasswire]

45. you'd better read....

....Seymour Hersch's expose of McCaffrey as a war criminal for the bloodcurdling massacres he ordered.

Hersch's article from 2000 is available here:

http://cryptome.org/mccaffrey-sh.htm

Under McCaffrey's orders, RETREATING Iraqis were incinerated on what is now known as the "highway of death." Civilians were not distinguished from soldiers. Palestinians and Kuwaitis were found in the remains.

[grasswire]

46. see my post #35.

He has a history.

12. Love Keith - someday I hope he'll tell us what these days were like n/t

[Patsy Stone]

23. You mean

sorting through 1000s of our e-mails and real facts trying to connect the dots? Lots of fan letters? :loveya:

[crispini]

26. Heh, I can imagine the memoir ...

"I quickly learned to ignore the deluge of email from the Democratic Underground 'Olbermann Estrogen Brigade.' It was easy to recognize ... I just sorted out everything that came with floaty hearts in the text..... Well, ok, actually, I saved it for when I wanted an ego boost. But if I'd taken them up on every offer they'd made, I'd have approximately 3,589 children running around right now."

heh heh heh.

[Patsy Stone]

27. ROFLMAO! Ah, the Salad Days... n/t

[Clark2008]

39. ROFLMAO!!!

But... I somehow think he secretly loves all the attention from the DU Estrogen Brigade...

Just hope his head doesn't swell up to his match both his size 13 and 1/2 feet!! ;)

[Kolesar]

16. KO's gonna tear up the commendations for Tenant, Bremer,

[Kolesar]

18. A Yossarian/ Catch 22 analogy

I love it.

[crispini]

28. oooee, "With friends like that, who needs Democrats?" WHAM! n/t

[rodeodance]

30. still counting in WA state. said many uncounted ballots--in a heavily

Dem country. Some board will decide tomorrow--

[crispini]

31. Comes!

Washington recount.
Blackwell - Conyers letter interchange. That's it.

Oh, and

ZELL MILLER BECOMING A COMMENTATOR FOR FOX SNOOZE. :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

32. And a Zell Zinger! n/t

[crispini]

33. Eh, well, there wasn't much election fraud news today.

But I still want him to cover Curtis. I think that's got some snap to it. Not entirely sure about MADSEN, but I think Curtis has some potential.

Oh, and :loveya: KO! Who ever thought watching the NEWS would be so damn much fun!

[Patsy Stone]

36. Merely from a girlie standpoint...

He made we want to watch ESPN. Also, I think he needs to stick to the dark suits. Many gratuitous floaty hearts: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

p.s. If the Curtis story is real, it's gonna get bigger ink than just KO.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Dupe -- DU is acting weird. n/t

[AntiFascist]

35. That's all very interesting....

but what about the Curtis story?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[crispini]

38. He still hasn't bitten on that one.

Why don't you write him and ask why? If I write him again he'll probably take out a restraining order on me. ;)

[Patsy Stone]

40. Guess not...

We done been moved! :)

[crispini]

41. Probably the subject line.

Next time we should make sure to start it with just "Olbermann's on" or something

Oh, and for the road! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

42. You don't think it was all of this?
