Thank YOU, KO, for saying what no one else has had the balls to neither say publicly nor have had the ability to say it to such a huge audience. You are my newest hero.

I have long since lost the R-E-S-P-E-C-T I once had for Hillary and Bill Clinton. At this rate, I would not vote for her is she were the only one running! She is such a disappointment on so many levels. Clinton, go away before you ruin your chances of being elected dog catcher and destroy America in the process!

Well done Keith !
You are my hero …. to take on the Clinton’s and their group of desperate people requires courage

May God protect you so that you can continue to be
FAIR AND BALANCE

somebody has to stay focus ….

She is an evil person that finally showed her colours
Let’s hope the American people make her accountable for this

Somebody should translate it to the Puerto Ricans
She would not have had such a restful time if they knew about this !!!

Once again, you are my hero
Thank God for people like you !

Notice H Rotten Clinton did not apologize to Senator Obama
and Robert Kennedy Jr’s weak defense is sad…
of course he would not take offense

1. it was not directed at him
2. he is after a job in the Senate

………they are both despicable !

Mr, Oberman’s comments are certainly correct. The remarks made by H.Cinton comes from a savage mind. This is what eople do when they want something so much they entertain such savaged thoughts. I thought h.clinton was a smart woman even though they (Bill) stole the china, rugs, etc. wHen they exited the White House YES, THEY DID REURN THE GOODS. bUT, WHY DID THEY PERFORM SUCH A LOW CLASS ACT O STEALING the pendinG trial iN ca COURT Peter paul vs Bill Clinton.
i CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WITH THE BAGGAGE WOULd RUN FOR SUCH a HIGH OFFICE AND EMBARASS THIS CUNTRY. Sen Cliton started out lying when she worked for the justie dept. Research what she did there.I approve of KO speech. It is time that someone picked up the banner and bring out the truth instead of gving HC excuses because she is a woman. Also, I am tired of HC making this a civil rights movement for women, etc. this is a campaign. She needs to run for office for the womens movement. HC sleeps with the biggest sexist one wants to know. Check out BC records from his college days and married days. I can undertand why HC is frustrated with him. but she elected to stay with him.
Why dn’t o hear about he religion?s she atheist?
I ws excusng her for all those things but now I am not voting for her.

The phrase “This is not news” or “this is an opinion” should be seen at the bottom of the screen,

Kinda why they show “Special Comment” at the bottom of the screen when he does that.

I think week one legislation should be the disallowing of the word “news” on any channel which is spouting an opinion. News reporters could then report the news without the O’Reilly’s of this world being seen near them. The phrase “This is not news” or “this is an opinion” should be seen at the bottom of the screen, and the channel owners should issue prime time apologies when they are wrong. Fines should be levied. Automatic rights to reply should also be available. Apart from anything else, this would be hilarious.

Thank you Oliver Willis for posting this Keith Olbermann’s special comments video. KO has never tried to be an objective newsman – that’s why how he distinguishes himself from the others. His passion seems real because I believe he is sincere and he encourages people to become passionate and emotionally invested in results of failed politics on the lives of Americans and the people of the world.
Keith Olbermann is so right on this issue. Using the word assassination is unforgivable. If I had used that word, during a live interview, my next sentence would have been an apology and a plea for forgiveness. Like most humans, I have made slips that reveal what I was thinking but really didn’t want to say. I am not trying in any way to say she was hoping assassination, but in the back or her mind the possibility of it would make her the Democratic nominee and US President and by forcing herself on the ticket as the Vice President – assassination would make her the US President by default. I am an Obama support. I admit that I have had the fear of assassination. Truly, I would be happier if he stopped running for President because he is good for this country, and this country does not deserve him and the jealous and envious leaders of congress and the senate would work against him instead of support him because he would show the world their deficiencies and lack of commitment to solve our nations problems.

News coverage should be about news. This ranting should not come from a news guy, no matter what party they support.

Kinda why it’s called a Special Comment.

Bryan:
KO is not really a news guy. While he tries to give news with out the normal “Village” spin, he’s allowed to give his opinion as well. Besides, looking at the news shows would you have ever guessed that Teh Big Punkinhead(Russert) once worked for the guy that Clinton replaced in the Senate? Or that Tweety once worked for Tip O’Neill?

My impressions?
1) News coverage should be about news. This ranting should not come from a news guy, no matter what party they support.
2) How mad would somebody have to be to make an attempt on Obama in order to allow HRC to prosper. Even the most racist, awful person would shy away from helping her IMO.

The thing that really makes this more serious to me is the realization that she’s floated this bit of fear-mongering before, as KO points out.

It’s not like Hillary makes verbal slips. She calculates every word that comes out of her mouth, especially when she knows she’s speaking to the press.

It’s a trivial point, but then again, it’s not: The distinction that marks out “something akin to an apology” is found it the difference between “I’m sorry that” and “I’m sorry if“.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Almighty(*), this is a highly articulate [with her I can use that word] person, with an Ivy League education and a law degree and a history of working with victims of political and economic oppression, with buttloads of political advisors(**) — and she doesn’t know about a generation or two of constant transparently phony aplogies from racists, sexists, and other slimy celebrities?

(*) This is not a blasphemy against God, on whom I take no public position, but against people who seem to worship others, including but not restricted to Mammon.

(**) I am not, however, sorry if anyone sees “buttload” as a somehow disparaging reference to H Clinton’s politicial advisers.
