KEITH -- I don't want to see you lose your job

[CatWoman]

I'm just as frustrated and disgusted as you are.

Maybe more so.

But I'm not on tv. I can curse as much as I want, and won't suffer repercussions.

Please stop cursing on tv.

[OneGrassRoot]

1. "senatorial prostitute" -- appropriate (Lieberman) n/t

[CatWoman]

2. that's not what I was referring to

[OneGrassRoot]

3. Oh, I know....sorry ....

I was just commenting on other things he was saying. :)

I know what you were referring to.

:hi:

[madokie]

4. Hes on cable and its different than broadcast

so he probably won't get in trouble for saying gawddamn

[HipChick]

5. What did he say? I fell asleep..

[Raine]

7. "God damn" nt

[HipChick]

11. I don't consider that swearing...I've heard Joe Java say it, Chris Matthews too

[Raine]

21. Yeah it's OK on cable

you couldn't say it on networks like ABC, CBS or NBC, the FCC would get after them.

[calico1]

14. I thought that was okay on the cable channels.

:shrug:

[charlie]

16. It is

Doesn't mean it's okay with his GE employers, though.

[SIMPLYB1980]

12. LOL!

:rofl:

[OneGrassRoot]

6. Whoaaaa.....

That's one of the best ever, IMHO.

Hopefully the video will go up very soon.

He was saying, "No PO or Medicare buy-in, no mandate."

And he said he'd refuse to buy into such a system, "call me a lawbreaker."


Edited to add: In my view, he did it all respectfully. Huge difference. He wants them to DO THE RIGHT THING and was simply encouraging what so many of us want: for our elected officials to do the right thing.

:)

8. I'm grateful to Keith. He had the "guts" to say what needed to be said in the MSM.

[YvonneCa]

17. He has done so before...

...when it counted, and when nobody else would. :patriot:

[WolverineDG]

9. He used the "S" word--slavery

what else do you call forcing people to buy something & throwing them in jail if they don't?

No public option/Medicare buy-in? Fuck off & die, "reform" bill.

10. Curse on Keith. Curse this cursed crap. You're on CABLE. Curse on.

[charlie]

13. "Keep fucking that chicken"

That's what this Fox goofball said and he's still working.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzr2aQ0AD7w

Come to think of it, THAT'S exactly what Keith should have said.

[Parker CA]

15. What did he say? I must have missed it.

[YvonneCa]

18. If this bill mandates people to buy this expensive insurance...

...he will not do so. He called on Congress to strip out the mandate or for Obama not to sign.

[Parker CA]

19. I saw the entire show. The OP was asking KO not to curse. I didn't hear any cursing.

[xiamiam]

20. i'm 59..have paid every month for my entire life ridiculous premiums to blue shield

this is the first month i cannot afford to pay my health insurance...thats just what it is..if you dont have the money..you dont have the money..its been as high as 800 a month and i've only had one major illness a couple years ago..true, it was major..and sent me on a downward economic spiral..but i haven't seen a doctor in over a year ..i kept taking higher deductibles...i got it down to 527 a month...all the years before 2005, i was fine..zip..nada..not even yearly checkups..i was healthy and just kept it in case...2006 and the 18 months following were filled with hospitals and doctors..much of that was to address problems that the hospital caused...true that...like the screw up which caused me to be deaf in one ear and fighting for 8 months to save my leg which was not in danger before the operation..radiation which freezes my leg up every single day..i swim for therapy..have to..i dont ever want to see the inside of a hospital again.....and now i dont have health insurance..they cant force you to pay if you friggin dont have the money..what are they gonna do? ..send me to jail..this is beyond absurd

[Neecy]

24. Beyond absurd is right

The fact that the Medicare for 55+ was dropped just makes my blood boil. You should write Joe Lieberman and tell him exactly how he's fucking over Americans who have done everything right but can no longer afford to be held hostage by the insurance cartels.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through.

[Enrique]

22. Just one thing, Dude

do you have to use so many cuss words?

[1]

23. i don't think keith's audience has a problem with it. and the fundies don't watch him. go keith...

[Teacher in SC]

26. It got your attention...

The two words were unnecessary, but they did get your attention! This was an excellent Special Comment and one that was needed at this time. Calling our attention to mandated expensive insurance coverage or going to jail was necessary. Clarifying Howard Dean's recommendation was necessary. Waking us up to the fact that the guy we worked for may not be who we thought, is something we need to pay attention to. Calling Obama on what he needs to do to rescue his reputation among his grass roots supporters is necessary. If you missed it you can catch it on the MSNBC Countdown page when they put it up probably after his show runs tonight several times.

25. Replay of his Special Comment on now
