This normalizing of terrorism is very dangerous, as we've seen already.

ETA - This is the segment he must be referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtSb7kwTFE

1. That is just outrageous.

Remember what happened when schoolkids drew questionable pictures of *? The Secret Service paid them a visit.

And THIS......???

[lbrtbell]

2. Trust Glenn Beck to give that psycho air time

If it's treasonous, terroristic, insane, or completely lacking in morality, it'll be on Fox News.

I'm glad to see Keith is keeping up the pressure on Fox, in spite of retiring his jabs at Billo The Clown.

And, as KO pointed out...why ISN'T this guy being visited by someone from the Dept. Of Homeland Security? Memo to Janet Napolitano--!

[Rhiannon12866]

3. K&R. Good for KO to keep pointing these things out...

Isn't there any recourse for silencing these nut cases when they incite on the airwaves? First it was O'Reilly inciting the anti choice nuts to go after Dr. Tiller and now this sick piece of work... There's now room at Gitmo. :crazy:

4. It's the clearest sign of Faux insanity to protect America from an attack you need an attack it's...

a wonder all of America hasn't called for the channel shut down or at least blocked the channel. It has to be the most grim thing ever said on TV and that's hard because Cheney has got grim all sewn up. Here is the clip for anyone that missed it you have to see it to believe it.

5. How much longer must we be made to tolerate the likes of Glenn Beck

[classysassy]

7. Turn off

your tv.Read a book,visit an old friend,say your prayers and keep the faith.

[lbrtbell]

9. Stupid idea

If every left-leaning person did that, there would be no viewers left to support the programs on MSNBC, and then all prime-time news would still be right-leaning.

Weeknights without Keith and Rachel? Bite your tongue!

[angstlessk]

25. what prayers and what faith???

[John Kerry VonErich]

6. Simply put....

Just read or see "The Watchmen"

[Piewhacket]

8. TREASON! TREASON I say! (Keith said it first). Arrest the treasonous scum...

waterboard 'em until we get the truth out of them.
its the ticking timebomb scenerio, folks!
no time for thinking or the slow machinery of law,
we must waterboard 'em now!

Arrest and waterboard (183 times). Its the only answer.
Once they confess, well, we got a confession so hang 'em.
use an extra long rope, remember how Cheney had it done, right?

so that solves it.
now, if only our other problems were this easy. hey.

10. Has Keith Olbermann Lost It?

I had never even heard of Keith Olbermann before 2006. That winter, I first discovered clips of his show on YouTube, and I was immediately hooked. He was arguably the first television pundit to forcefully and unapologetically call the Bush administration and the modern Republican Party on their sh*t. It was beautiful, it was cathartic, it was addictive.

I hoped that, once the election ended and Obama took office, Countdown would return to form. My hopes, it seems, were in vain. The show has degenerated completely, now resembling nothing more than the left-wing equivalent of Fox News politico-pop. Keith loves to mock Bill O'Reilly's ridiculous shtick and arrogance, but it is increasingly difficult to see the stylistic difference between KO and Bill-O. Both yell a lot, lecture a lot, smirk condescendingly at all who disagree with them, and ultimately neither one of them adds anything of value to the public record.


I still hold out hope that Olbermann will get his act together and go back to actual reporting and analysis, and drop the whole "angry self-righteous defender of the Left" act. It was fun for a while, but seriously, the campaign's over. We won.

11. Welcome to DU.

Enjoy your stay.

[trumad]

12. Dumb post

[Turborama]

13. Going to share with us some videos containing your version of "actual reporting and analysis"? n/t

[StClone]

14. LOL Pathetic Stealth Attack

[stlsaxman]

15. "... but seriously, the campaign's over. We won." Who is this "we" and what have we "won"?

to quote a Great American- Tonto (of Lone Ranger fame) "What you mean- we, white man?"

[florida08]

16. We won?

So we can just go back to sleep? Understand this..what we won was a seat at the table..a voice that we haven't had for 8 years. A lot of damage was done and the OCD thugs that held us captive are not just going to say..oh well..we'll try again next time. They're out there actively trying to destroy democracy and freedom of choice. Don't forget these people just killed an african american in a Holocaust museum and an OB/GYN physician. People like Beck promoting hatered and suggestions of militant retaliation are dead serious.

17. You have a NY Knicks avatar and you have never heard of ESPN's Sportscenter?

Or have Knicks fans just stopped watching it?

[Enthusiast]

19. Still, Keith serves a valuable

purpose. At least we hear a counter to the Reich Wing rant on Faux. Before, we had no counter point of view. I'm very happy to have Keith on MSNBC pointing out the hypocrisy of GOP actors.

[AlbertCat]

22. Keith loves to mock Bill O'Reilly's ridiculous shtick and arrogance

He publicly dropped that months ago.

Try watching the show once in a while before critiquing it. Thank you.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

18. Loved the line about Werzelbacher and Olbermann not being

Native American names!

And yeah, how come Homeland Security hasn't shut down the right wingers?

[grahamhgreen]

20. We need to fully investigate the links between Bin Laden and Bush, and the rest of these nutters

21. Fox News - Tokyo Rose's Voice of Treason Network

There are people who really watch this garbage?

[AlbertCat]

23. There are people who really watch this garbage?

Are you kidding? There are people who have it on 24/7....as background noise. There are those who watch no other "news" sources! I mean, even Soviet citizens took Pravda with a grain of salt knowing full well it was propaganda. But Fox News devotees....not even!

24. Why didn't Keith have a Special Comment for Scheuer?
