Is Olbermann going to get the Michael Moore treatment
Im afraid, because they are afraid of him, and he is about to get the Michael Moore treatment. The smearing has already begun.

1. Keith and his army will fight back.
Look at the way he dogs O'Lielly when Billo opens his manure-mouth. I understand O'Leilly was running away and hiding from Keith at a recent Mets game. Whoopee!

4. Totally Dis-agree moores crazy!
Mike rocked this country with F-911 just in time for the elections. The right has been swiftboating him since, He tells it the way it is IMHO.

5. They can try but it will be a lot harder to smear KO with that brush.
I love Michael Moore, by the way, but I know a lot of people distrust him merely because of the way he looks.

No one's going to look, or listen, to KO and think he's a hippy-dippy loony tune.

7. Keith is more polished...
and powerful than Michael; as he demonstrated to Rupert very elegantly last night.

8. The smear campaign began a long time ago on Olbermann
and continues now, as you can see from what the Post wrote about his anthrax hoax situation.

Expect it to only get worse as time goes on.

9. Bring them on!
Keith has a national stage in prime time and their attacks will only focus attention on him.

11. Micheal Moore marginalized himself by playing exactly
the role right wingers want him to play.

12. Michael Moore is an award-winning filmmaker.
And I understand that he's quite well off, financially.

What's your definition of "marginalized"?

13. Unfortunately, KO only reaches a few people - in comparison to MM. But us
usually, the Republicans don't allow ANY dissent, so I'm sure KO will get some smearing.

Be sure to watch his videos on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ so he will get credit for hits. I don't believe he gets them when we watch them any other place on the web.
