Keith Olbermann has the nuts to speak the truth on National Television

Bravo, bravo.

Keith Olbermann sickens me. He makes Sean Hannity look like the poster boy for objective journalism. You know what decrying supposed political grandstanding about 9/11 in order to score your own political points is? Political grandstanding. His show might as well be a registered 527 group for Obama. He's an absolute douchebag.

So you'd rather be shovelled bullshit down your throat just because you don't like the guy? Just because he feels the need to do what he thinks is important as a journalist, informing the people of the truth? I'm sorry but this is the kind of action that is needed to counteract the horseshit that is being fed to us from conservative newscasters.

Reer. Nice.

I won't regret saying this: If I could get away with it, I would fucking kill Olbermann. He's a propagandist, not to mention a propagandist on another "side" than mine. Goebbels. Disgusting.

No, I'd rather he act like a professional journalist and not a complete asshole. He's a smarmy political hack, and he's not completely truthful (some of his rhetoric about Sarah Palin was ludicrous, for instance). It is not necessary to "counteract" anything. He is Bizzaro Sean Hannity. We DO NOT need that.

Talk about ad hominem attacks... This is weak on both your parts.

He's so beyond rational analysis that I refuse to degrade myself by partaking in it. It's not like I'm going to convince the sheep that he isn't worth a fuck anyway. Excuse me, I fucking despise the man.

Translation: I don't know how to dismantle what he said, so I'm just going to skirt around the issue by attacking his reputation and trying to pass it off as a valid critique.

How is what I said ad hominem? I cited examples of what I found distasteful about the guy. I watched the "9/11 ™" bit live, and I was stupefied by the hypocrisy.
