5. Happy to say that Keith was recently nominated...
...as the "most influential living Unitarian." The liberal-religious blogs held a friendly competition in which Keith Olbermann received the most votes, followed by cartoonist Matt Groenig and the World Wide Web's Timothy Berners-Lee. In his stubborn defense of non-authoritarian democracy, of freedoms of the body, mind and spirit, and of a kind of patriotism that only grows in freedom and unity (e pluribus unum) rather than uniformity, Keith is an excellent "prophet" of Unitarian Universalist principles and values. If only our nation's political leaders could understand that you just can't impose such democracy upon others...you can only advocate for it by good example. Thank you, Keith! In the past year, you've been a rare bright spot in an otherwise thoroughly wretched media landscape.

22. If I could burn DVD's, I'd burn this one ten times at least
Go ahead, make copies and give them away. Email the show and tell them if it makes you feel better.

But it will help spread the word and build his audience; I'm sure Keith would be happy for the free publicity.

9. These Special Comments literally bring tears to my eyes.
And I mean literally, not virtually, as the word is so often misused.

Jams the ball down an opponents throat? Not that kind of literally?

10. I love this man.....I called a bunch of people and told them to turn it on
Edited on Mon Dec-18-06 08:43 PM by Roxy66
The only thing I need to do to explain why I am a Dem is to have them listen to Keith giving a "Special Comment". He puts into words every shred of my beliefs as an American and as a decent human being

13. MSNBC probably was told by his agent
that there will be no more new shows until they come to an agreement, so they put together all his special comments to fill the hour:shrug:
