Keith Olbermann has given voice to the voiceless, sanity to the madness, truth where lies are now a daily part of our political discourse. He felt passionate enough to contribute innocently as an private individual to three campaigns that he cared about.
If he goes we lose the Edward Murrow of our generation, the voice that spits truth to power and vested interests. I have devoted my entire adult life to truth telling. Without Olbermann, MSNBC can't survive -- and the voice of progress will fall to the dark ages, when one unholy church dictated a fictional version of the truth.
Re-instate Keith Olbermann now. I will personally pay his campaign contributions.
Don't let this voice get lost when it is needed the most.

Simmons said it well. I also thought Bill Maher's Real Time video was super, on Jon Stewart's fallacy of equating Olbermann (and Ed Schultz) to Fux.
