Keith Olbermann: Clinton - You Invoked a Nightmare

Keith is such a great orator, whether I agree with him or not.

 

He does a bit more than put his .02 into the pot.

 

Damn..I am so pumped up after watching that.

They should play this before Rockets game to get the team and the crowd fired up.

 

This guy is such a toolbag. Everything from his annoying, condescending demeanor to his obsession with Bill O'Reilly. Just STFU already!

 

What an AWESOME speech.

I can see why angry right wing radio hosts get a huge following. It's somewhat cathartic, like they're saying what their audience are thinking, as if he's being angry for us.

Not sure if these rants fall in the realm of traditional journalism, but it's here to stay. The more we realize its power, the less we're inclined to demogauge worship.

 

do you think Olbermann is right wing???

 

He probably means that we feel the same way listening to Olbermann as people who listen to Rush, Weiner, and Hannity do when they tune in.

 

Yes. Before, I didn't get why people listened to angry broadcast personalities.

 

The big difference being, of course, that KO is usually right.

 

Another big difference is that he doesn't outright lie, is willing to admit when he makes mistakes, and knowingly express misinformation.

 

Wasn't exactly a KO fan only because I don't watch him much but I must say, Bravo. Last 3 minutes were great.

On a side note, I hate Hillary.

 

I used to live across the street from the Ambassador Hotel for eight years. If any place has ghosts, it's that one. I was totally against tearing it down to make a school, but that's what they're doing now.

In my opinion Bobby Kennedy was the last really great democratic candidate that ran for election and the party was never the same after. I talked to a lot of people who were around at the time, who worked or lived nearby. It's just one of those things no one has forgot, no matter what their politics were.

I can't say I ever liked Hillary Clinton very much, but I can't see how a person can do more to divide the electorate, much less a political party. I'm glads people like KO are calling her out.

 

My point is that KO captures a sentiment and conviction that are in tune with his viewers and that is very similar to what the other side aims to exploit.

There can be a discussion of over accuracy and authenticity, but I'm sure fans of Rush and O'Reily think their talking head is accurate and authentic enough.

 

Did anyone else feel like doing the slow clap after that video?

 

Clinton has to be really careful now - she's in danger of making herself super toxic forever and probably has made a lot more people dislike her than vice versa.

 

I don't understand why guys like Bill O'Reilly get such bad wraps when douche bags like this guy are on TV.

 

It's funny to me, because when I lived in Houston, I would only see this guy on ESPN sportscenter...now he is a political commentator. I fully agree with his rant, though. Hillary needs to go away and make Bill a sandwich.

 

Because this guy uses facts, and doesn't use misinformation, while Bill gets the facts wrong and lies about it all the time. Huge difference.
