4. Is there a transcript yet?

I haven't seen one.

[understandinglife]

5. Yes ... it's available at the C&L site, noted in this post and at MSNBC ...

... which I posted here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2545568&mesg_id=2545568


Peace.

[tcfrogs]

8. Sweet, thanks! n/t

[Lindacooks]

6. Oh. My. God.

That was the most patriotic speech I have ever seen.

And I fear for Mr. Olbermann. That shows how low the repukes have sunk.

[Nordmadr]

7. Fuckin' Wow.

[Liberal In Texas]

9. That was FAAAAAN-TASTIK.

Murrow would be proud.
Olberman gets better and better.

Wish I could recommend more than once!

[blm]

15. I kept thinking of Murrow the whole time, too. As if he was sitting at KOs side.

.

[understandinglife]

26. He was!

:thumbsup:


Peace.

[Bozita]

30. When I closed my eyes about 90%, the TV screen became black and white

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

10. "MISTER Bush". NOT "Mr. President".

That HAD to be deliberate. It was too perfectly inyourface to be otherwise.

Keith Olbermann is a God.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I've caught him doing that before. Gotta be intentional. I just wish he'd drop...

the "sir" part. Bush doesn't deserve even that honorific, despite the reek of sarcasm that accompanies it.

[bear425]

11. Hi UL! Thanks for posting this!

I was busy working to get Ron Klein elected in CD22 Florida tonight whilst KO was on. Glad to see ya!

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Saaaaaaahhhh-mackdown

Ka-shaah!

[Spazito]

13. Wow....just...WOW!

He outdoes himself with every special commentary he broadcasts. He is, today, a rare breed, a principled media personality.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Outstanding

Liberty Leading the People (1830) by Eugène Delacroix
From the website of the University of Southern California

[seabeyond]

17. that is one huge ass ......WOW

[brer cat]

18. Wow! K&R n/t

[bobbolink]

19. I especially appreciate him breaking the barrier, and showing the

flag-draped coffins.

:cry:

How I wish that was more shown on TV!

[blm]

35. I didn't even think about it in that context - but you're right.... this is a first

in so many ways.

[bobbolink]

49. Yes, it is a first, and he deserves the credit for that.

He probably got a lot of hate mail for showing those coffins, so I suggest letting MSNBC know you appreciated it!

:patriot:

[DemReadingDU]

20. Keith is the BEST!

K&R

[Patsy Stone]

21. Thanks for posting that!

It gets better every time I see it.

[Hepburn]

22. OMG.............

.........OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish to hell KO would run for President!!!!!!!!!!

[Ellipsis]

23. The house of cards just got hit by a 50 mile an hour wind.

KO pegs it all.

The exposition, the posturing, the point blank direct commentary just perfect! Perfect!!

...and the public is READY to hear it. Schoolastic ought embrace this in their civics curriculum.

May this go far and wide,

[roamer65]

24. "Former United States"

Just like they said in the movie "V for Vendetta". Olbermann's 1856 comparison was hitting the nail on the head. Raisinbrain has brought this country to the brink of civil war.

[newsguyatl]

25. best.comment.ever.

[MzNov]

27. KO absolutely blows your socks off.

I think his comments tonight are the best yet. I fear for his life. He is the best commentator we have in this country.

:dem:

28. On CNN, Andrew Sullivan says Bush is unhinged; VIDEO

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/11/1/232433/228

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/11/andrew-sullivan-on-cnn.html

Seems the band-wagon is getting rather crowded with folk who are totally done with Bu$h's crime and murder machine....


Peace.

[understandinglife]

29. Those editors at the NYTimes must have been watching Olbermann ...

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/02/opinion/02thu1.html

As President Bush throws himself into the final days of a particularly nasty campaign season, he’s settled into a familiar pattern of ugly behavior. Since he can’t defend the real world created by his policies and his decisions, Mr. Bush is inventing a fantasy world in which to campaign on phony issues against fake enemies.

<clip>

This is hardly the first time that Mr. Bush has played the politics of fear, anger and division; if he’s ever missed a chance to wave the bloody flag of 9/11, we can’t think of when. But Mr. Bush’s latest outbursts go way beyond that. They leave us wondering whether this president will ever be willing or able to make room for bipartisanship, compromise and statesmanship in the two years he has left in office.

To which I have two things to say to the Editors:

1. About time.

2. The Next President of the USA will be the Speaker of the House of the 110th Congress by this time NEXT YEAR - our Republic cannot possibly survive two more years of the criminal regime of Bu$h, Cheney and their murderous minions.

Clear enough.


BE THE BU$H OPPOSITION - 24 x 7 x 365

[blm]

31. That should go up on its own thread

NYT sided with Kerry over Bush and Hillary.

[understandinglife]

33. I'd be happy to post it, but I think you deserve the credit for the title ...

... of that thread -- NYT SIDED WITH KERRY OVER BU$H AND HILLARY ....

Let me know and I'll either post it or Recommend yours! :thumbsup::thumbsup:


Peace.

[blm]

34. Someone posted it already.

[Swamp Rat]

32. k&r

[chat_noir]

36. kick for the morning crowd

[PuraVidaDreamin]

37. He had me wiping tears towards the end

I'm praying there are no deranged cane
carriers in Keith's future.

[blm]

38. How sad that we know now how BFEE won't stop at cane carriers these days.

,

[oc2002]

39. God Bless you Kieth Olberman, and good luck.

The only free and straight talker on the air.

[Harmonicaman]

40. The verbal equivalent of being hit with a brick

Its heartening to see and hear some voices in the United States not afraid and kowtowing to what K.O. rightly describes as "domestic terrorism", blatant cheap alarmism and outright fearmongering .

Kudos to Keith Olbermann

[JudyM]

42. Welcome to DU, Harmonicaman.

:hi:

[understandinglife]

46. Welcome to DU! And, I agree ...

BE THE BU$H OPPOSITION - 24/7

[ClayZ]

43. We gathered around the TV and cheered!

THANK YOU, Keith!

:kick:

[donkeyotay]

44. Outstanding KO. They just get better.

We've gone so long without hearing truth told on tee vee that when you hear it at long last, it makes you want to weep.

:applause:

[paparush]

45. Bush (whispering to Karl Rove): Karl, have Keith Richards killed...

[JNelson6563]

47. Oh My God

Hoooooly Shit. That is one of the greatest smackdowns ever. In the history of the world.

Julie

[RedSpartan]

48. Keith just keeps getting better and better.

Simply amazing.
