1. I believe the 8PM EST showing is.
I'd be watching it myself, but Dennis Kuncinich is reading articles of impeachment against Bush on CSPAN. I suppose he'll be through by 10EST, when I'll watch Keith's repeat showing.

4. Neither CNN nor MSNBC have broken in with live coverage of Kucinich
The networks have completely put this on ignore. Does anyone remember if the moment articles of impeachment were filed against Bill Clinton the networks covered it live? Or did they ignore it, too? I was out of the country then and couldn't watch it.

11. Keith is not ignoring this. Don't be stupid.
He just wasn't going to throw his whole show out the window tonight for it. He'll have it on tomorrow. In the meantime, MSNBC is giving max coverage to the fact that McClellan's going to testify before Congress.

6. Remember MSNBC said Dennis qualified for the debate then
changed the rules.

As much as I like Keith, I do not remember him ever having Dennis on his show during the primamry or after the Articles against Cheney back in November.

12. Actually, he thanks Dennis personally in the acknowledgments of his latest book
so I don't think you can claim that he has any personal problems with him. Heck, I'm from Cleveland, and I probably like Dennis less than Keith Olbermann does. But that's because I remember what kind of a mayor he was.

13. Obelrmann warns on racial messages from FOXNEWS
I HAVE OFTEN STATED THE ISSUE AS : DO YOU WANT A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE?, in order to remind you that MOST Democratic voters, like the Republicans, are racists-- apparently, even Olbermann noted the racist aspect of the Republican Campaign-- not McCain, but all around McCain; and he's not deaf, dumb and blind, he knows the low lifes that are doing this are doing it for their low life candidate, McCain.. But is that an unalterable state, are most Americans really racists?....HELL NO!

Those SAME REPs & DEMs racists would have marched to vote for Collin Powell as President without a microsecond hesitation. Why? Because Powell gave them courage and racism is only an expression of fear. Racism in America is MY Boomer generation's reaction to the overwhelming cascade of change and catastrophic events we faced since 2000. Boomers are still, at times, shaking thinking about 9/11. Americans came to realize that AMERICA IS VULNERABLE at the same time they realized that age has made them vulnerable and vulnerability makes them deathly afraid. Obama at first blush seems to have nothing heroic about him, like Powell....but neither anything devilish, as Bush. He is Obama, period, an amazing man who never got angry, never got even, always was understanding and forgiving. In that sense he is pleasant and extremely reasuring...indeed, en-powering, to a fat middle aged me-ist boomer. But Obama will not get to stand there with each and every boomer to help him overcome his fear of change, fear of his own impotence and fear of his own vulnerability. So these me-ist boomers will simply say to themselves? IF HE (OBAMA) WINS, THE NIGGERS WILL TAKE OVER AMERICA-- not because they are racists, but because Bush made them fearful and made them feel helpless and dumb for choosing him!

Is that a racist view? NO, IT IS A PATHOLOGIC STATE THAT ROVE AND THE NEOCONS WORKED INTO BEING FOR EIGHT YEARS. The Republicans won in 2000 and 2004 the whole enchilada-- White House, Congress, Senate-- by working fear, the fear of inadequacy that makes these pot bellied boomers pop Viagra all day (actually, it is very good for pulmonary hypertension so it should make smokers feel better). And most of these Republicans, being me-ist boomers just stole all they could and got out, if they didn't get caught first. Seeing what their choices did, the me-ist boomers became deathly afraid of themselves as males-- it is not philosophically concluded but zoological aroused fear. Bush et al have worked it, he pretending to have a brain and muscles. But just as his joints gave out, his irresponsible fear of responsibility (making him the UNdecider) was covered by by pretending that he is dealing with devils and monsters attacking America not that he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

I know that doctors no longer do home visits to treat the sick; but if you want Obama to win, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE DOCTORS THAT CURE MIDDLE AGED MALE FEAR OF CHANGE IN HOME VISITS. You have to immunize these Middle Americans against the McCain poison of: I used to be a hero, trust me, I will bring back the America you knew while I was a POW. In the meantime, the Republican side show will ask them: DO YOU WANT A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE RAPING YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON ALTERNATING NIGHTS WHILE YOU STAND HELPLESSLY OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE FENCE?

That's what they did to Ford and have already tried to do to Obama.

Olbermann saw it in how FOXNEWS plays with the Obama-Michelle fist salute....They try to pass it off as a secret black terror salute. AND IT WILL WORK BECAUSE THE BOOMERS ARE SICK AND MADE SICKER BY BUSH OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. Their sickness is fear, fear that they are impotent to confront the evils around them. That's why I thought Hillary as President for the first eight years would allow her to be the "mom" of America that nurses it back to mental health after an 8 years chronic anxiety disorder produced by the Rove machine.

But we now chose Obama instead>>>>FINE, FINE, FINE.....I'M ALL FOR OBAMA....I WANT HIM TO WIN...My life in America depends on it. Obama is all I have left as an inheritance to pass on to my kids.

IT IS TRAGIC, WE BOOMERS WHO PROUDLY STOOD WITH LBJ AS HE MADE RACISM ILLEGAL ARE NOW THE GENERATION OF CATTLE THAT WILL BE STAMPEDED BY THE REPUBLICANS IN FEAR OF A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF WE LET THAT HAPPEN, THEN WE, THE IDEALISTS OF THE 60S MIGHT AS WELL HAVE NEVER LIVED, FOR WE ARE NOW EXHIBITING ALL THE PATHOLOGIES THAT WE AND BUSH DEVELOPED FROM THE 60S DRUG USE IN OUR ME-IST OBSESSION. WE ARE BUSH AND BUSH IS US...THEREFORE, WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED BECAUSE IF ALL WE LEAVE OUR KIDS IS THE MESS THAT BUSH-->MCCAIN MAKE OF AMERICA, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN KINDER TO ABORT THEM BACK THEN RATHER THAN LET THEM SUFFER THE DEMISE OF THE "SHINING CITY ON A HILL."

Don't get scared. Yes, MOST Democrats and Republicans-- because they are ridden with fear-- don't want a NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE. BUT THAT'S NOT BECAUSE IN THEIR HEARTS THEY ARE RACISTS, IT IS BECAUSE IN THEIR HEARTS THEY ARE SCARED TO DEATH, HAVING LOST ANY SELF-CONFIDENCE.....So, will you allow the Republican maggots to eat at the scar of fear or will you go door to door to tell them the good news: CHANGE IS GOOD...for you...mostly for your children....AND IN OBAMA'S HANDS IT WILL BE A CHANGE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF. WHY?

BECAUSE OBAMA HAS LIVED ALL YOUR FEARS, ALL YOUR SENSE OF DRIFT, ALL YOUR SENSE OF ISOLATION....AND HE OVERCOME IT tO BECOME A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN A NATION WROUGHT WITH FEAR.

OBAMA DARED...YES, HE DARED INDEED....HE DARED EXACTLY WHERE THE REST OF US ONLY FEARED....AND HE HAS ENOUGH COURAGE IN HIM TO PASS IT OUT TO ALL OF US IN HIGH ENOUGH A DOSE TO MAKE US NO LONGER AFRAID!

Black is a zoological trigger for fear. But Obama is not a black shadow, he is not the tip of a black spear aimed at your helpless middle aged, Viagra filled, heart.

OBAMA IS *BOTH* AS WHITE AS YOU AND AS BLACK AS YOU. BE IS *BOTH* SO HE FEELS THE PAIN OF BOTH BLACKS AND WHITES AND GIVES HIS HOPE, HIS COURAGE AND HIS DETERMINATION FOR CHANGE TO BOTH....THANKS TO OBAMA WE WILL BE ONE AGAIN, AS WHEN LBJ SIGNED THE CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION....AND AS ONE WE WILL BE STRONG....STRONG AS WE WERE IN BATTLE, WHEN THE ONLY COLOR THAT QUELLS OUR FEAR IS THE OLIVE GREEN OF THE BUDDY NEXT TO US. IT GAVE US COURAGE TO FIGHT NOT TO LET HIM DOWN AND HE NOT TO LET US DOWN. SO IT'S NOT A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE WE FEAR BUT THE BLACKNESS OF TOTAL FEAR ITSELF, THE HOPELESS FEAR OF IMPOTENCE IN THE FACE OF DANGER.... OBAMA IS THE COLOR OF HOPE, COURAGE AND CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE...THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOU WILL THANK GOD THAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER AFRAID.

MCCAIN IS A DYING OLD LIE AND HE CAN ONLY BRING ABOUT YOUR FURTHER AGING, FURTHER ROTTING, FURTHER FEAR, FURTHER HATE, FURTHER WEAKNESS, FURTHER DOOM.

You must concretize all this in face-to-face encounters with America's scared boomers. And when they are no longer afraid, they will no longer be racist....and when they are no longer racist they will have hope, and courage and will want change-- not for themselves alone, but most of all for their children....AND WHEN THEY WILL WANT CHANGE, THEY WILL WANT *THAT* NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE-- THE NEW JFK-- BARAK OBAMA.

If WE who have faith in President-to-be Obama are not lazy and we do go door to door to tell the good news, to explain in detail, respectfully, caringly and knowledgeably what is the "change" Obama will bring is all about, THE VERY PEOPLE WHO NOW WHISPER IN SECRET UNDER THEIR BREATH: I DON'T WANT A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WILL CHEER OBAMA AS *MY* CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT...AS THEY DID WITH POWELL, THEY WILL SAY: IF HE IS A NIGGER I AM A NIGGER....FOR HE, OBAMA, IS AN AMERICAN AS I AM AN AMERICAN AND, LED BY OBAMA, WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF CHANGE.

TOMORROW MORNING...each of us must prove how much we want America to change by starting a grassroots door to door explanation of why our neighbors need not be afraid. If we do that, the Americans who today say of Obama: I don't want a nigger in the White House, will say: Obama is like Powell....When Powell spoke I listened and I was no longer afraid... when I was no longer affraid I wanted Powell for President because he took away my fear!

POWELL IS A GOOD MAN. BUT HE UNDERSTANDABLY CHOSE NOT TO BE SEEN AS A NIGGER TRYING TO GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. I CAN'T BLAME HIM. BUT I ONLY POINT OUT THAT WHERE THE EVER POPULAR POWELL WAS AFRAID OBAMA WAS NOT....THE COURAGE HE SHOWED FIGHTING EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR TO BECOME OUR CANDIDATE DESPITE THE "I DON'T WANT A NIGGER IN THE WHITE HOUSE" SECRET IN THE HEARTS OF MANY DEMOCRATS, IS PROOF OF WHAT A COURAGEOUS *HERO* IS OBAMA AND WHAT GET HEIGHTS WE WILL REACH UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP.

We can't afford to let a fumbling old liar drag us down further into the hole that Bush dragged us into. Democrats have to take the Presidency, the House, the Senate... and then CHANGE America BACK TO WHERE IT WAS....THAT LIGHT MILLIONS OF REFUGEES LIKE ME SAW HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE IRON CURTAIN. WHEN WE SAW THAT LIGHT, WE WERE NO LONGER AFFRAID....My dad walked through half of Europe and then dragged us through, sure that reaching the light of the Statue of Liberty we would be in the "Paradise of Freedom." But with Bush in power, I-- who never had a childhood, just an endless refuge one step ahead of Communism-- finally feel NOW, just as my dad felt when we finally got here. OBAMA IS WHAT MAKES ME SO SURE, SO FULL OF COURAGE, SO FULL OF HOPE....My American born children wanted to leave America. Under Bush they were afraid. They couldn't live in his America. But I begged them to stay. NOW ALL MY KIDS ARE CAMPAIGNING AND VOTING FOR OBAMA....ALL MY KIDS WANT TO STAY BECAUSE ALL MY KIDS HAVE HOPE IN CHANGE THANKS TO OBAMA.

I don't want to make this too personal. But I lived through hope raised and through hope dashed and hope reborn. Finally, only two things made me sure in my hope for a coming change: (1)GOD and (2) that nigger OBAMA getting into the White House. Tomorrow I will be out in my Republican neighborhood, going door to door, to explain to all my neighbors why Obama means hope and change; that they are not racists, just afraid. And then day after tomorrow I will go back and continue...I will go door to door, neighborhood to neighborhood, to Democrats and to Republicans and will explain why they should not be afraid, should not be racist.

I KNOW THAT WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER AFRAID, THEY WILL NO LONGER SEE OBAMA AS A "NIGGER" BUT AS AN AMERICAN HERO WITH LIMITLESS COURAGE, JUST AS THEY SEE COLIN POWELL.

WHAT WILL YOU DO TOMORROW, WILL YOU DO THE GRASSROOTS WORK THAT LEADS TO VICTORY OR WILL YOU BE TYPICAL DEMOCRAT AIR-CONDITIONED OFFICE TYPES WHO PRETEND THAT NO DEMOCRAT SEES OBAMA AS A "NIGGER TRYING TO GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE"?

I WILL JOIN HILLARY IN *UNDOING* THE HARM SO FAR DONE, HARM THAT PLAYED ON THE FEAR, CAUSING THE RACISM, AS IF DEMOCRATS WERE REALLY REPUBLICANS AT HEART....NOW WE CAN NO LONGER DISCRIMINATE. WE MUST GET OUT THE "GOOD" NEWS TO DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE. THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF AND WHEN THERE IS NO FEAR THERE IS NO LONGER RACISM.....From our lips to every ear in America the message must ring so that America will rise again, having regained its courage, to set things right to CHANGE things, to dare to believe that we can do better than Bush--->McCain.
