MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - January 5, 2010: Olbermann discusses the GOP/Tea Party Constitution hypocritical gimmick of reading the Constitution Thursday with Yale Constitutional Law Associate Professor Akhil Reed Amar.

OLBERMANN: "Progressives have seen an opening. They are relishing the prospect of incoming Tea Party Republicans forced to read aloud from The Constitution the proof that their ideas about The Constitution are wrong."

1. Oh, how disappointed those progressives will be.

Remember, these people have been reading the bible for years and haven't read anything except Gays are Bad.

[Drew Richards]

2. Anybody can read words...

The question is can they actually understand the meanings.

[bjobotts]

7. Yeah. Just listen to Michelle Bachman. I hate when they try to make it mean what they want it to m

mean just to justify a position.

[Mark Maker]

3. Liberals Wrote The Constitution to exclude women, blacks and

Native Americans from representation and gave the vote to landholders only?

Wow! Would they be surprised today.

[beyurslf]

4. Giving the vote to anyone, even just white male landholders, was liberal then.

They didn't vote on the King every few years. But with 40 posts,you may not be hear long enough to even read this reply.

[Mark Maker]

5. You have to be kidding

Voting has been used as a feature of democracy since the 6th century BC, when democracy was introduced by the Athenian democracy.

Large post counts don't always translate to intelligence, as exemplified by your post.

Can you "hear" me?

[bjobotts]

8. Liberals also wrote the amendments to correct these injustices.

[bjobotts]

9. The corporate owned GOP just wants to eliminate the New Deal.They don't care about the "people"

[bjobotts]

10. It's like paying teachers to read their text books out loud $150k/yr

[bjobotts]

11. It's all just theater to distract from the economy & job creation.They don't have a clue what to do.

[MsPithy]

6. Professor Akhil Reed Amar is the real deal!

Many people throw around the idea that Justice Scalia is smart, some kind of Constitutional genius. HA! Read anything Amar has written, just Google him, you will be blown away!

[bjobotts]

12. Our revolution was really against the East India Trading Company.the King being its major shareholde

[bjobotts]

13. Dems weren't trying to just do a dem thing, they were trying to get the nation moving again

[bjobotts]

14. Repubs just want power and not what's good for the nation, only the wealthy.

They cannot do anything without being told by corporate lobbyists and the emerging plutocracy. Their words make no sense and have no depth ("Obamacare will bankrupt the nation"...not according to the non-partisan CBO...It adds nothing to the deficit and removes $1billion from it over 10yrs.) Repubs took control of the House solely on the stupidity of their supporters who believe their lies without question. They can't believe the truth...so we will get 2yrs of nothing but lies, unfounded accusations and economic disaster. Now the dumb angry big mouth stupid people have big shot backers to mislead them...truth be damned. "Bondo's got what plants crave..."

BTW...Daryl Issa is a car thief...arrested 3 times...once for using a gun to steal a Mercedes. Just never convicted. 3 times. Can anyone get his mug shot? They really are crooks, liars and thieves.
