Why is Keith Olbermann a "liberal"?
Advertisements [?]
Someone described him that way today to me, and it pisses me off.

Keith is conservative. He wants to conserve the US Constitution and the rights of its citizens; he believes (I think) that traditional, conservative ideas like the separation of powers, and that of church and state, are valid.

It's W and crew who are the true "liberals". Taking a liberal with the rule of law and its application. Applying his own interpretation to centuries-old legal precedence "liberally". "Liberally" spending our children's wealth on tax breaks for the wealthiest of the wealthy, and using the "liberal" concept of reform to reform our imperfect democracy into a police state.

I must be getting conservative in my old age :D
