[TheDonkey]

11. *ouch* just slapped the vp and p

those who suggest he hasn't learned the lessons could be seen as an idiot.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

16. is that the "i-word?" that was referenced in the email?

[TheDonkey]

24. Why hasn't MSNBC cut this man off the air!

Saying that politicans are using 9/11 as a photo-op? Aren't actually doing anything other than wasting money? Lying to us!? Oh it can't be so *faints*

[ncrainbowgrrl]

12. he looks nervous- yet steadied... voice cracking...

[MoonRiver]

18. Had 4 friends who died on 9/11.

:(

[IChing]

21. Making me well up too

He is getting tearful.

[SeattleGirl]

14. "A background for a photo op"

You got THAT right, Keith!

[jazzjunkysue]

15. "anyone who says I'm soft or have forgotten the lessons is an idiot

even it he's the pres or vp. "

"This is merely a background for a photo op. Shameful."

[AspenRose]

17. Hot damn, he is on FIRE

Go, Keith, Go!!!

[TahitiNut]

19. Wrong, Keith. It's EXACTLY as I foresaw.

I NEVER thought this regime of criminals and sociopaths would EVER do "the right thing"! I had absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this criminal cabal would exploit this atrocity for thier own narrow advantage to the maximum extent possible and beyond.

[IChing]

25. Agreed , n/t

[derby378]

20. "The urgent oath reduced to lazy execution"

Whoa.

[MoonRiver]

22. The pResident STOLE our sense of being Americans!

:wow:

[jazzjunkysue]

23. Keith. Keith. Keith.

[SeattleGirl]

26. I am nearly in tears, listening to Keith.

My God!

[atomicdawg38]

27. OMG WOW

WOW!

[Cush]

28. the impolite phrase is Impeachable Offense

[MoonRiver]

[IChing]

58. No way I can watch the pResident speak now

Someone else do it too much pain
Great speech Keith.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

35. I'm shaking- literally...and speechless...holy...

[AspenRose]

36. HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Preach, KO!

[lonestarnot]

37. HOW DARE YOU!

[TheDonkey]

47. He just called Bush OUT

wow.

[msanthrope]

38. I Love this man, Love him. Speak the truth, brother.......n/t

[Skip Intro]

39. I've thought of that Twilight Zone episode so many times in the last few

years.

KO is kicking ass simply by telling the truth.

[Richard D]

44. which episode?

no tv here

[Skip Intro]

78. Where a mass hysteria takes over a neighborhood, and everyone

appears an enemy to everyone else. They go after a boy in the end, and tear themselves apart.

It so like the America the bush regime tries to foster, sadly sometimes successfully.

[bullwinkle428]

41. Brilliant Twilight Zone reference!!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

43. and great use of the clip...

[ncrainbowgrrl]

48. "and may this country forgive you."

[SeattleGirl]

45. Agreed.

[malaise]

49. KO strikes again

How dare you Mr President?

I love you KO - love you real bad :D

[Catherine Vincent]

46. OH...MY...GOD!

[rndmprsn]

how fucking incredible was that?!

[mtnester]

50. I am speechless

simply awestruck by his closing commentary

My God

[BrklynLiberal]

51. WOW! What a great speech. I hope he still has his job tomrrow!!!

[TheDonkey]

68. I'm actually a little worried. That was an all out honest attack on this

ineffective government. He's got a lot of courage. Still in shock by what just happened.

[Staph]

52. The transcript is at . . . .

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

[ncrainbowgrrl]

77. thanks. i want to read that over and over again.

:hug:

[AlwaysDemocrat]

53. May this country forgive you....

I never will...

[SeattleGirl]

54. OH. MY. FREAKIN'. GOD!!!!!

"We have not forgotten, Mr. President. You have."

Holy shit!

[Mr_Spock]

55. Wow, Keith hates the Idiot in Cheif as much as I do.

Amazing commentary tonight.

[malaise]

69. Isn't that the truth

That was fabulous. I won't be forgiving Bush ever.

[Skip Intro]

56. Holy F**k!

:applause::applause::applause::applause:

[Cameron27]

57. My god

Keith has me in tears. I never thought I'd hear such a powerful words spoken on national television.

I need the transcript.

WHO HAS LEFT THIS WHOLE IN THE GROUND. WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE

MAY THIS COUNTRY FORGIVE YOU

[Moochy]

82. May this country forgive you

instead of "May God Forgive you"

[shadowknows69]

59. Beautiful

I fear for Keith's job. He's speaking too much truth to be a modern media anchor.

[TahitiNut]

60. Absofucklutelyexcellent!!

Damn! It's about time! When are others going to discover their gonads?

[eleny]

61. gulp

[derby378]

62. "May this country forgive you."

Wow.

But I'm sorry, Keith - there can be no forgiveness. For this atrocity, there can be only justice. And for the current occupant of the White House, the path to justice ends in a solitary cell next to the one occupied by Moussaoui.

[Julius Civitatus]

71. Wow.... just.... wow.....

Words fail me....


Outstanding...

[jimshoes]

63. Oooohh

I really like Kieth Olberman. Peace be with you Kieth.

[Peggy Day]

64. Go Keith- Thank you for saying what we can't. Bless you.

[tinymontgomery]

65. That needs to be on every station

and over the radios. Outstanding OB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bullwinkle428]

66. I think he set the bar at a new high with this evening's commentary!

:patriot:

[TheDonkey]

80. history will remember him as one of the few journalist being real in the

post 9/11 world.

[dogindia]

67. My God.

[KAZ]

70. WOW!

I don't watch him as much as I should. That was one of the most powerful things I've heard.

[texasleo]

72. wow

wow

[Avalux]

73. Oh Keith - we are vindicated. Beautiful!!

I am just about in tears.....he is a brave man. :patriot:

[malaise]

83. From the zenith to the nadir

in seconds. Here's the man with the hole in his brains.

[me b zola]

100. That is how I felt. Vindicated & acknowledged

It's awful how after you are called names for a long period of time those hateful words seep into the psyche. I'm not a weak person, physically or psychologically, but the constant assaults do take their toll.

I did cry as I listened to KO tonight. He voiced my outrage and stood up for me, for all of us tonight. God it feels good to be heard.

[SpecialK]

74. Oh my god. I can't find the words...

[atomicdawg38]

75. I have never ...

seen anything like that. So powerfull. OMG Im in awe!

[IndianaGreen]

85. Edward R. Morrow versus Joe McCarthy comes to mind

I saw that wonderful film, Good Night and Good Luck, that depicts the clash between Morrow and the demagogue of his day. Olbermann has spoken the truth. Now is time to listen to Bush's shameless exploitation of 9-11 to justify the war in Iraq.

[Gregorian]

76. On that note,

[jazzjunkysue]

79. Turning off TV. Amen.

[hootinholler]

81. I missed the begining

But the end made up for it!

I think an email is in order!

Thank you Keith.

-Hoot

[Eric J in MN]

84. I don't agree that it's shameful that they haven't started a new builiding

...at the World Trade Center site (Keith Olbermann said that tonight.)

In my opinion, we should carefully consider what to put there, if anything. Consider it slowly.

A new building will be a terrorist target. I hope that if they put a new building there, it will be for only a small number of people at once.

[Mr_Spock]

86. We should live in fear of building on that site?

That's thought makes me very uneasy - to me it's like letting the terrorists & Bush win - all at once.

[bettyellen]

97. sorry you think this. but all huge structures in NY are targets.

it's not like we could or would downsize things.

[helderheid]

87. I didn't get to comment at the time but my husband and I watched this

together and I just let the tears roll. He spoke for all of us tonight. I am speechless! Thank you Keith Olbermann. You are the Best Person in the World.

[Dudley_DUright]

88. I second that nomination

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

[ChiciB1]

89. The Courage Of ONE Man... May It Move Our Nation Forward

MY, My, My are we ever jammed up tonight! Looks like most of us aren't going yo be watching The Idiot, I stopped a long time ago!!

How can we ever thank you Keith Olbermann??? Just posted at another thread that I FEAR for him now because I, as so so many others no longer trust or respect these people in POWER.

Be Safe Keith... Much Peace & Love!

The last post took 15 minutes to post!

[AndyA]

90. There is no one word that can adequately describe what Keith said tonight.

Brilliant. Stupendous. Incredible. Priceless. Perfection. Honest. Heartfelt. Truthful. Patriotic. Brave. American.

Thank you Keith for speaking for America. It's about time someone did. You are a hero. :thumbsup:

[jhain]

92. We Thank you, KO!

We were crying here. It has been so long...

God, he was brave.

We NEED more of this.

[Patsy Stone]

93. So? Why don't you come and join us in the KO Group?

All Keith fans are welcome! Follow the link in my sig.

KO: :yourock:

[rubberducky]

94. KiethOlberman is the absolute greatest!!!!!!!!

Tears and cheers for Kieth!

[ellenfl]

95. scathing! i gotta email keith. woohoo! eom

[Norwood]

96. Thank you so much Keith!

The guy constantly gives me reason to have hope for the future. Truly powerful statement, I expect rightwingers will probably try and do what they can to silence him so I'm pretty worried too.

With that statement tonight though Keith really has become our modern day Edward R. Murrow

[stepnw1f]

98. "May This Country Forgive You..."

That was awesome.

[CONewRevolution]

99. Olbermann is Channelling Murrow?

Wow. His words brought tears to my eyes, and spoke for me perfectly.

[KelleyKramer]

101. He mentioned Murrow in that other one...

I think you're right, KO is on a roll.

Looks like he has finally said 'F' it and is going for it.

This could be a pinnacle moment in American discourse.

[melnjones]

102. This will be on my Myspace as soon as someone posts it to youtube.

Amazing.
