2. I hate that Keith is giving this guy a platform and credibility... ok Posner
putting Shrub down for not pursuing Bin Laden. That's probably why.

4. Remember one of Keith's positions
That we should be be hunting Bin Laden. Personally, I think he's dead, and we should be putting the terrorist in the WH on trial, but what do I know?

5. I think Bin Laden is dead too and yes, agreed on the sociopaths running this country.
As to Keith, I think he does this to jab Shrub but honestly..why can't Keith show that this new Bin Laden is a different Bin Laden. He also should have commented on how the video translated. The people are still being misled.

6. Face it
If they(the people) don't notice that Osama's beard is missing a few gray hairs and that this is AWFULLY well timed, they're unlikely to accept that it's not him.

Sad.

3. He's doing it so they will let him have 30 minutes of truth for our side
and the rest will be fun and oddball. There is a pattern emerging. He is all we have just about to present the whole story, and less and less of the show as a rule is doing it.

7. That's nonsense. I don't see that being the case at all.
Keith is not being overruled on his own show just because not everything he has on it fits your personal view of the world.

There may--just may--be some things he disagrees with you about. Or me. Or someone else.

9. I think you need to watch more objectively.
We have watched his show faithfully. It is pretty obvious that there is about 30 minutes devoted most of the time to the hard truth.

I don't blame him. I blame the mentality of our country.

Do you always talk to people like they are not very smart?

8. I'd be stunned if Obermann thought of him as a "propagandist"

10. Olbermann is OK up to a point -- you know the news, you're there for the criticism -- right?
