[NRaleighLiberal]

1. The lone media voice crying in the wilderness.......

[bdamomma]

63. we all should lend and show our support for Keith

he is definitely one of a kind. Great commentary.

[opiate69]

106. My wife just recently started a blog

honoring Keith on her MySpace page... we'd be honored if you took a look.

[Maraya1969]

144. Her page looks beautiful but I can't read her writing because it is too

dark.

[onecent]

2. WOW WOW WOW WOW He is my God also. DAMN!!

[diddlysquat]

3. WOW IS RIGHT!

[oregonjen]

That word came out of my mouth as well. Wow!

[Subdivisions]

4. Simply awesome!

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. We need a poster of Keith in a blue cape super hero outfit.

And the caption would be:

OOOOOOlber Man.

[guidoo]

109. Ask and you shall receive

Super Keith

[The Backlash Cometh]

129. Blue Cape!

All Blue.

[bdamomma]

147. yea, he almost looks like Clark Kent

who turns to Superman, that picture made me laugh. He looks pretty good as a Superman!!

[rainy]

6. OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG..........

SCREAMING, YELLING, CHEERING, CRYING!!

[BrklynLiberal]

18. My exact thoughts.

I am still shaking.

[peacetalksforall]

7. That was probably the most important speech of the decade.

Unbelievably fabulous!

[keta11]

8. BRA BRA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[cal04]

9. Keith Olbermann needs to run for office

he was outstanding, amazing, and gave the most honest and downright courageous commentary an American could have!

[Raffi Ella]

24. Yes

YES HE DOES!!!!!!!!

[drbtg1]

82. No he doesn't!!!

We can get a few good folks for DC. But no one, not even Stewart, can work the MSM like Olbermann right now. He needs to stay right where he is and build his audience/power base from there. Get the base in place so that no one can knock him down.

[spanone]

10. KKKKIIIICCCCKKKK &&&& RECOMMMMMMMMMMENNNND

[Nite Owl]

11. Every comment just

gets better. Thank you Keith.

[calimary]

119. Truly! EVERY time I think he can't top himself, he does.

Sigh...

And I used to work just down the hall from him - same newsroom! Sigh...

And he was pretty damned great back then. Ordinarily the sports segment was when I'd go to the bathroom or take a break and go scan the food machines. Not when HE was on duty.

[benny05]

12. He's amazing

Has had over a week of good "Good Night and Good Luck" commentary.

:kick:

[judaspriestess]

13. Go Keith Go

thank you for calling out the C.H.U.D's

[lynch03]

14. I loved how Scarb just staired in almost shock afterwards np

[JanusAscending]

86. Did you think he looked pale?

Even withstage makeup on, it looked like all the blood drained from his face!!

[Clinton Crusader]

137. Yes! Iwaited...and waited....

Wondering of he was going to say something snarky, say nothing, but alas he launched into a "bubba' thing and I switched channels.

Rock On, Keith!!
:yourock:

[shadowknows69]

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. That's what journalism sounds like.

There will be a quiz in the morning.

[bdamomma]

64. right, that is what each of newscaster should be saying instead

of giving us fluff talk every night.

[silverweb]

20. OMG, that was awesome.

I don't think Keith missed a single salient point in that extraordinary commentary.

That is what a true patriot sounds like!

Wow.

Just... wow.

[laruemtt]

21. i am totally in love~!

god forbid my dreams tonite...................

[npincus]

22. Holy Shit...

[bklyncowgirl]

23. Keith has outdone himself. Wow. nt

[katmondoo]

33. That was the most damning condemnation of Bush I have heard in 6 years

I am in shock and awe.

[femmocrat]

25. Keith was great!!! But from the sublime to the ridiculous...

Scarborough is putting a totally different spin on it, saying Clinton was "outfoxed." They just DO NOT get it.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

128. They get it, they just have a script to follow.

Republicans wear white hats and democrats wear black hats, regardless of the reality.

[Arger68]

26. We need a

"we're not worthy" smiley!!!!:yourock:

[Raffi Ella]

27. where can I get a transcript of this??

?

[zuzu98]

51. it's already up at msnbc.com n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. W O W !

it brought tears to my eyes.

[Pithy Cherub]

38. That was better than anything I have seen yet!

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[bdamomma]

65. me too, and Keith said that each and everyone of us want

to say well maybe not so etiquettely as Keith. What a great guy!

[Vinnie From Indy]

29. Just caught his final words and all I can say is BRAVO!

Viva Keith Olbermann!

[K8-EEE]

30. BABY!!!!

GOD I LOVE THAT MAN! I'M WATCHING THE RERUN LATER....WOW!!

Do not miss this folks....the truth in the age we live in is startling to hear out loud, brave folks like KO make me feel hope again!

[Webster Green]

31. KO leads the revolution!

Lord knows someone had to step up!

This is great!

[jaxx]

32. Take that MR. Bush

Damn Olbermann was dead on with this.

[Swamp Rat]

34. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Loge23]

35. A voice for the ages

After all this time (to paraphrase KO) we finally have a voice.

[JanusAscending]

87. It's midnight here on the east coast now.

Rerun of his show has begun!! Catch it, you'll never forget it!

[Kahuna]

43. That was the most awesome thing I've ever seen on TV in my life..

other than Chavez calling beelzebush out.

[CantGetFooledAgain]

44. That was absolutely incredible...

Keith is turning it up a couple thousand notches. He's picking up ALL of the slack for the rest of the media.

May his ratings reflect his amazing courage. Then maybe we'll see some others start to speak the truth.

[Coexist]

45. Yeeearrrrgh!

[trayfoot]

46. I am still sitting here in awe of what I just heard

Keith simply hit it out of the park! Whoever said Scarborough looked stunned was right! He did!

Thank you Keith and PRESIDENT CLINTON for speaking truth to the American public and the Liar-In-Chief!

[oregonjen]

47. Do we have an avatar for Keith? If not, we should!

In honor of tonight's "Special Comment" I would love to change my avatar to a pic of Keith!

[SharonRB]

48. Sounds like all of you in this thread should come on over

to the Countdown group. We're there every night during the show and welcome newcomers.
We're a very friendly group and we love watching Keith.

Here's tonight's thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=59665&mesg_id=59665

[rzemanfl]

56. I thought this was women only, "estrogen brigade." n/t

[SharonRB]

58. Nope -- we have a number of folks of the male persuasion

who join us.
Feel free to stop on by.

[swimmernsecretsea]

98. And for that, you have my eternal gratitude.

I will certainly join you.

[rzemanfl]

130. What does the "E" stand for then? n/t

[SharonRB]

140. It stands for estrogen, as you thought

But we have the ASTB there also -- the Allison Stewart Testosterone Brigade. We're one big happy family over there.

[babylonsister]

61. Are you a salesperson in real life?

:rofl: I kid, but laughed when I saw this. He rocked somethin' wonderful, didn't he?! I'm still grinning!

[SharonRB]

142. Actually, no

Just a graphic designer.

(I knew you were kidding!)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

49. It was a thing of beauty n/t

[brettdale]

50. kick

[tblue37]

52. Someday a movie will be made honoring his courage

in speaking truth to power, just as Good Night, and Good Luck honors Murrow's coruage in facing down McCarthy.

[BlueCentrist]

53. To say I'm speechless is putting it mildly.

I am in shock over what I just witnessed.I think we've turned a corner.I really do.

[Buns_of_Fire]

54. I'm afraid K.O. is wrong about one thing...

He eschews comparisons of himself to Edward R. Murrow.

Wrong.

He IS the new Edward R. Murrow.

Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

[Nikki Stone 1]

55. Looking at Keith's flashback (pg 2 of the transcript) makes me wonder

if the Lewinsky scandal were manufactured simply to keep Clinton from going after Binladin. That would mean Clinton was actually being effective, and the Bushistas and their neocon footsoldiers wanted to make sure Osama stayed at large until the big plan.

Who turned the political discourse of this nation on its head for two years?

Who corrupted the political media?

Who made it impossible for us to even bring back on the air, the counter-terrorism analysts like Dr. Richard Haass, and James Dunegan, who had warned, at this very hour, on this very network, in early 1998, of cells from the Middle East who sought to attack us, here?

Who preempted them in order to strangle us with the trivia that was, “All Monica All The Time”?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15004160/page/2/

[johnfunk]

81. Who preempted them in order to strangle us with “All Monica All The Time”?

Well, let's start with

Henry Hyde (R-Adulterer)
Linda Tripp
Bob Barr
Ann Coulter (remember, she copied the Tripp tapes)
Matt Drudge
Lucianne "I gave LBJ Monicas!" Goldberg
Trent Lott
Bill McCollum
Rush Limbaugh
Lindsey Graham
James Sensenbrenner
Laura Ingraham
Sean Hannity
Chris Cannon
David Bossie
Richard Mellon Scaife
David Brock, who has more than redeemed himself
Steve Boynton
R. Emmett "Julius Streicher" Tyrrell
Floyd Brown
George T. Conway
Kellyanne FitzAnyone
Mike Isikoff
Sheffield Nelson
Larry Nichols

[Greybnk48]

99. Should Kenneth Starr be added to this list??

He's on my list.

[peacetalksforall]

93. I used your posting to start a new thread - your thought should

not be lost. Hope that's OK.

139. Same gameplan they used with Reagan and the Iran Hostage crisis.

Bingo.

As for Keith...he is my HERO. What he said this evening was TRUTH. He's an AUTHENTIC American Patriot. I LOVE that man.

[bagimin]

59. Are you supposed to get chills from the TV?

maybe I need to get that physical soon.

[high density]

60. I finally sent him a thank you note

Hopefully some intern will put it in the positive column for him.

[babylonsister]

62. They will. They count those suckers, as well as the youtube

downloads. We all need to show the love and appreciation!

[Jim Sagle]

66. KO RRRRRRRAWWXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!

[Gregorian]

68. I just sent Mr. Olbermann an email.

I've sent only several positive emails to news companies in the last thirty years. But this was extraordinary. Keith is a true American hero.

What brilliance. Except for that funny part about selling seeds by mail order. Hey, even that was pretty darned good.

There's a crack in the media where the truth is shining out!

[mshasta]

69. he is ....

[lonestarnot]

72. Waiting for the rerun! Looks greater than great!

[ladywnch]

74. I wrote several emails

based on another post about Keith's commentary tonight. They had several addresses listed: letters to msnbc, viewers services, the general manager, keith, etc.

I have receipts attached to all email I send and interestingly enough the receipt for the email sent to Letters@msnbc was 'deleted without reading'.

Is MSNBC trying to minimize the numbers of people supporting Keith or am I just being paranoid?

[volstork]

75. I stood up

and cheered!!!

[Raffi Ella]

76. Me TOO!

Welcome to D.U. :toast:

[mindfulNJ]

80. Incredible

Thanks again Keith...the lone voice in the wilderness.

[BigBearJohn]

83. Keith restored my faith in humanity. Here I thought he couldnt get better

I am totally humbled. TOTALLY.
I am crying my eyes out.
I haven't heard eloquence like that EVER.
I won't compare him to Murrow.

HE'S BETTER!!!!

[ChromeFoundry]

84. Keith.. You Kick Ass!!!!

He threw down the gauntlet with that one, "sir".

[Redneck Socialist]

95. Damn

That was fuckin' amazing. Keith, you rock.

[1democracy]

101. That was a true hero...

There was such a huge power vacuum in the media for so long, it took awhile for someone to take the mantle of power AND USE IT!!! Because power is scary, it can come back to hit you, it can set others to get you and your family and your friends. THANK GOD HE HAD THE GUTS TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH! I got goose bumps too. I thought it was going to be short but they gave him the time to develop it completely, perfectly.

OMG

[Random_Australian]

100. What happened?

Just text synopsis, please! This internet connection is not large-file friendly!

(Note: You also can't tell me to just watch the repeat, as I am not in the country)

[Greybnk48]

102. KO just called out * for the lying

slimey, do nothing, all talk and no action, piece of shit moran that he is...and he used many of the words in my post to do it. It was a thing of beauty. He also sent props to Clinton for having the guts to speak the truth on TV after having to listen to 5 years of lies and spin. Awesome.

[Random_Australian]

108. Brilliant! Hope for America after all. :) ;)

[Stardust]

104. Here are some snippets. It was all brilliant...hard to pare down.

The headline is this: Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done, in five years. He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.

"At least I tried," he said of his own efforts to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. "That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They had eight months to try; they did not try. I tried."

Thus in his supposed emeritus years, has Mr. Clinton taken forceful and triumphant action for honesty, and for us; action as vital and as courageous as any of his presidency; action as startling and as liberating, as any, by anyone, in these last five long years.

The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama Bin Laden before 9/11.

The Bush Administration ignored all the evidence gathered by its predecessors.

The Bush Administration did not understand the Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S."

The Bush Administration… did… not… try.—

Moreover, for the last five years one month and two weeks, the current administration, and in particular the President, has been given the greatest "pass" for incompetence and malfeasance, in American history!...

After five years of skirting even the most inarguable of facts — that he was President on 9/11 and he must bear some responsibility for his, and our, unreadiness, Mr. Bush has now moved, unmistakably and without conscience or shame, towards re-writing history, and attempting to make the responsibility, entirely Mr. Clinton’s.

Of course he is not honest enough to do that directly...

And of course, were it true Clinton had been "distracted" by the Lewinsky witch-hunt — who on earth conducted the Lewinsky witch-hunt? Who turned the political discourse of this nation on its head for two years?

Who corrupted the political media?

Who made it impossible for us to even bring back on the air, the counter-terrorism analysts like Dr. Richard Haass, and James Dunegan, who had warned, at this very hour, on this very network, in early 1998, of cells from the Middle East who sought to attack us, here?

Who preempted them… in order to strangle us with the trivia that was… "All Monica All The Time"?

Who… distracted whom?...

The distractions of 1998 and 1999, Mr. Bush, were carefully manufactured, and lovingly executed, not by Bill Clinton… but by the same people who got you… elected President.

Thus instead of some commendable acknowledgment that you were even in office on 9/11 and the lost months before it… we have your sleazy and sloppy rewriting of history, designed by somebody who evidently redd the Orwell playbook too quickly.

Thus instead of some explanation for the inertia of your first eight months in office, we are told that you have kept us "safe" ever since — a statement that might range anywhere from Zero, to One Hundred Percent, true.

We have nothing but your word, and your word has long since ceased to mean anything.

And, of course, the one time you have ever given us specifics about what you have kept us safe from, Mr. Bush — you got the name of the supposedly targeted Tower in Los Angeles… wrong.

Thus was it left for the previous President to say what so many of us have felt; what so many of us have given you a pass for in the months and even the years after the attack:

You did not try.

You ignored the evidence gathered by your predecessor.

You ignored the evidence gathered by your own people.

Then, you blamed your predecessor.

That would be the textbook definition… Sir, of cowardice...

The "free pass" has been withdrawn, Mr. Bush…

You did not act to prevent 9/11.

We do not know what you have done, to prevent another 9/11.

You have failed us — then leveraged that failure, to justify a purposeless war in Iraq which will have, all too soon, claimed more American lives than did 9/11.

You have failed us anew in Afghanistan.

And you have now tried to hide your failures, by blaming your predecessor.

And now you exploit your failure, to rationalize brazen torture — which doesn’t work anyway; which only condemns our soldiers to water-boarding; which only humiliates our country further in the world; and which no true American would ever condone, let alone advocate.And there it is, sir:

Are yours the actions of a true American?

I’m K.O., good night, and good luck.

[Random_Australian]

107. Awesome! Thanks! (eom)

[minkyboodle]

103. here here

quite simply, he is the finest broadcaster on the air today. I have cheered
him in the past but really this was one that can have no equal. Write and email
msnbc, keith deserves it. Who knew one of the greatest baseball trivia minds of
the 80s/90s would go on to be our Murrow. Keep on going Keith!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Olbermann.

[WinkyDink]

111. AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!!!!!! Croix de guerre for KO!!!

I'm finding a pin somewhere that says "KEITH", and I'm wearing every day!

[The Watchman]

112. ya know...

Putting Joe "Blow" Scarbouro against Keith Olbermann is sort of like having the hill county pee-wee sqaud play the MLB all stars . Joe looks like his head came out of a can, like lumpy old cat food. Anyhow.. I dunno how many of yall are video gamers, but I couldn't help but hear the laugh of Shao Khan from "Mortal Kombat" as Keith put in another flawless victory, Brutality, against those in power.

[kelliebrat]

114. Spot on bloody brilliant! A Truth Avalanche!

Now I need to add it to my sig line. What with the recent report that the Republicans have actually made us less safe and really jumped in the wrong pile of burning crap against the counsel of many they ignored or fired, it's like a truth avalanche!

[Dem2theMax]

115. Remember how it felt after you saw F 9-11 for the first time?

That's how I felt tonight after hearing Keith's commentary. I heard the TRUTH. OMG!

I cried. I wrote my emails to say thanks.

And for the first night in a VERY long time, I'm going to bed with some hope in my heart.


Bless you Keith. :yourock:

[sce56]

116. How do we Google Bomb KO'S commentaries so we can spread the news

You know like type in miserable failure and hit feel lucky it will take you straight to the pResidents official bio. We need to get one that says truth in media and it will take you straight to his commentaries. Any ideas to expound on this thought?

121. Holy crap.

As someone on the C&L thread said, I need a cigarette after seeing that.

:wow:

[cboy4]

122. The only way that would have been better was if Bush was tied to a chair

in the studio and forced to watch it live and in person.

Awesome job Keith. :applause:

[spuddonna]

123. I wasn't around during Murrow's time, but I wonder...

Is this what it felt like to watch him when he courageously stood up and spoke the truth during the McCarthy hearings?

I literally had chills. God bless you, Mr. Olbermann! I wish we had more like you...

[Red Right and BLUE]

124. I need cable again, maybe.

I LOVE KEITH!

[democrank]

125. Keith set the bar a lot higher.

Rest of them in corporate media will be dumbstruck, scrambling for attention with new Paris Hilton photos.

[Skidmore]

126. Keith dioes it again!!! Keith and bloggers are the media today.

He never disappoints.
