    yup well the guy hated quite a lot of things. The IRS, Bush, his Wife, and went on a huge diatribe before committing suicide and trying to take out some IRS workers.

    Well Olbermann was clearly talking about race and racism in this segment so that puts his quotes in context of race.

    So definition of prejudice:
    -an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
    -unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, esp. of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group.

    now you take his quote he basically says all white people deep down are prejudice/racists. Now some may believe this to be true I for one don't. But for those that believe it to be true Olbermann shouldn't have said "White" people and just narrow it down to white people. If it is true then it is true for ALL people.

    actually to be factual though he goes on to say he's not black but he would assume they feel the same way, as do Hispanics and asians... it's later on when he narrows it down to people who don't like Obama that he goes into his rant that if you don't like obama obviously you are a racist.

    do you deny that bush started an uneccessary war based on lies?

    do you have proof that Obama is a socialist, terror sympathizer, not born in the US trying to destroy America?

    I get it now... If you are white and you have a black boss that you don't agree with you are racist... gotcha... does it work both ways? is Obama racist for dispising Bush? oh and what about the Chairman of the RNC.. is he racist, or just confused?

    last i checked the President doesn't have the power to declare war and that power lies with congress. Bush may have made a mistake on the Iraq war but it was based on the best intelligence available at the time. You can't fault him for that.

    Do you have proof he willingly lied to go to war??

    Also I was clearly paraphrasing there are far worse quotes and thing said about Bush which are completely unfounded. And don't get me wrong I am no fan of Bush at all.

    jesus we've been over this so many times...

    Bush’s Five Big Lies That Led to the Iraq Quagmire

    These are the five lies Bush told that Ralph Nader documented to impeach him.

    * Weapons of Mass Destruction. The weapons have still not been found. Nader emphasized, “Until the 1991 Gulf War, Saddam Hussein was our government’s anti-communist ally in the Middle East. We also used him to keep Iran at bay. In so doing, in the 1980s under Reagan and the first Bush, corporations were licensed by the Department of Commerce to export the materials for chemical and biological weapons that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney later accused him of having.” Those weapons were destroyed after the Gulf War. George W. Bush’s favorite chief weapons inspector, David Kay, after returning from Iraq and leading a large team of inspectors and spending nearly half a billion dollars told the president “We were wrong.” See: David Kay testimony before Senate Armed Services Committee, 2004-01-28.

    Tyler Drumheller, the former chief of the CIA’s Europe division, revealed that in the fall of 2002, George W. Bush, Vice President Cheney, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and others were told by CIA Director George Tenet that Iraq’s foreign minister — who agreed to act as a spy for the United States — had reported that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction program.

    * Iraq Ties to Al Qaeda. The White House made this claim even though the CIA and FBI repeatedly told the Administration that there was no tie between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. They were mortal enemies — one secular, the other fundamentalist.

    * Saddam Hussein was a Threat to the United States. In fact, Saddam was a tottering dictator, with an antiquated, fractured army of low morale and with Kurdish enemies in Northern Iraq and Shiite adversaries in the South of Iraq. He did not even control the air space over most of Iraq.

    * Saddam Hussein was a Threat to his Neighbors. In fact, Iraq was surrounded by countries with far superior military forces. Turkey, Iran and Israel were all capable of obliterating any aggressive move by the Iraqi dictator.

    * The Liberation of the Iraqi People. There are brutal dictators throughout the world, many supported over the years by Washington, whose people need “liberation” from their leaders. This is not a persuasive argument since for Iraq, it’s about oil. In fact, the occupation of Iraq by the United States is a magnet for increasing violence, anarchy and insurrection.

    while i disagree with going into Iraq, STRONGLY DISAGREE, any humanitarian should be thankful we did... Sadamn was one of the most BRUTAL dictators in the history of the world, and his war against the Kurds was Genocide. Personally I am not a Humanitarian so i could care less.. I think we shouldn't be world Police.. however when I hear the same people that were screaming for Clinton to do something in Bosnia complaining about Iraq it makes me laugh a little.
