THIS IS DUMB !!! We need to stop NOW.
Keith Olbermann has been more then fair to us and our cause has been bolstered by how we have been communicating with him. For our response to something we disagree with from him to become "Fucks" and other unintelligible drivel that he was accusing the "anti voter fraud" people of doing is not only dumb its harmful to the cause!

It makes us look like a bunch of poor losers who cannot accept another point of view without becoming a gaggle of babies. I am embarrassed. Bev Harris has done much good and I believe in her but unlike what I see the Bush-followers as doing to him, I do not see her as a God who does not make mistakes.

If we fall apart over something like this, misdirect our energies and begin to eat each other up we are not only falling into their hands we will fail.

1. DUer's are a fickle bunch
They want to have it their way ALL the time and if they don't get it they tend to get pissy.

I still remember certain people having an off-again on-again affair with Tweety back early in the campaign when he waffled a bit.

Olberman is an ally.

2. It's a Rove tactic.
While I don't think we have freepers, I AGAIN state that everyone is on edge and needs to calm down.

This has been done to DIVIDE us. DIVIDE. It's already working, see? We need to put it aside and keep the priorties in sight. Lets all shake our fists at the corrupt government, NOT Bev, Olbermann, or each other.

10. Olberman is the one who attack Bev!
So keep that in mind when you go accusing people of division...

3. We eat our own waaaay to quickly 'round here.
We're Liberals, we're not always going to agree in lockstep. That is our strength and our weakness.

5. Divergent views are only a weakness
if they lead to bickering and puerile name-calling etc. One can argue passionately with another and still maintain respect for an opposing view; even though I'm always right and anyone who disagrees is a poopy head.

7. "puerile name-calling" is rather redundant
You gotta be puerile if you call people names.

Don't call me a poopy-head, you lil barf-bagger. :P

11. This place is NUTS tonight!
But I have to say that from the onset, I've found it strange that Olbermann was the only tv guy willing to speak up. Why one? Was he not given the memo? Was he used as our release, "throw them a bone so they don't riot"? One guy out of how many?
