OLBERMANN TRANSCRIPT: "We Americans Are Sick To Death Of You & Other Terror-Mongers!!!"

[kpete]

This is terrorism itself, dressed up as counter-terrorism.

Republicans equal life; Democrats equal death?
Olbermann: Rudy Giuliani exploiting fear for power and personal gain

..................


Yours, Mr. Giuliani, is the same chilling nonchalance of the madman, of the proselytizer who has moved even from some crude framework of politics and society, into a virtual Roman Colosseum of carnage, and a conceit over your own ability — and worthiness — to decide who lives and who dies.


..................


Claim a difference between the parties on the voters’ chances of survival — and you do bin Laden’s work for him.

And we — Democrats and Republicans alike, and every variation in between — We Americans! — are sick to death of you and the other terror-mongers trying to frighten us into submission, into the surrender of our rights and our reason, into this betrayal of that for which this country has always stood.

Franklin Roosevelt’s words ring true again tonight.

And, clarified and amplified, they are just as current now as they were when first he spoke them, 74 years ago.

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself” — and those who would exploit our fear, for power and for their own personal, selfish, cynical, gain.

Good night, and good luck.

15. "No Democrat has said words like these"

"None has ever campaigned on the Republicans’ flat-footedness of Sept. 11, 2001."

Maybe Dems OUGHT to start campaigning on this. Instead of paying attention to terrorism in 2001, the Bush administration was preoccupied with planning the conquest of Iraq. Bottom line is that 9/11 was preventable, and maybe we ought to start saying it.
