1. In a nutshell, the conservative judicial activists on the Supreme Court
have ruled that lies and slander are protected by the first amendment.

2. I used to look forward to KO's Special Comments
Too bad he's made himself into a circus clown on par with Hannity and Beck.

Rachel still kicks ass. But you can't reference KO as a source for anything when discussing issues with people who aren't rabidly left-wing. He has no credibility any more. He's seen as hyper-partisan and a clown.

Good for ratings. Bad for credibility.

8. Yes. Try invoking him in any discussion and see what happens.
No objective credibility.

I LOVED Keith back in the lead up to the 2004 election and in the months following.

But after his Special Comments became more regular, especially in the last year or so, they've really started to veer off.

His "war" with O'Reilly hardly did him any favors in the "serious journalism" department.

Rachel still kicks ass. I love her show and watch it any chance I get.

But Keith has become too much of an act. The SNL parody was spot on.

10. If you had any idea how far from that I truly am.
Ratings and entertainment value are not the same thing as being a credible source.

Keith jumped the shark a year or so ago and it's been downhill since.

I watched him religiously from the beginning but haven't been able to deal with the schtick in recent months. It's just too much like a liberal version of O'Reilly's schtick.

I still love Rachel and watch whenever I can.

11. Actually, that should have been O'Reilly. Typed the wrong Fox idiot's name.

I agree that Olbermann is NOTHING like Hannity.

No one on TV or radio (not even Beck) is that low.

Sorry for the error. Fixing it now.

4. That'll be on the Microsoft-National Broadcasting Company channel, right?
On my Magnavox television, as piped in thanks to the DirecTV corporation, right?

5. You know all these words are wonderful
And I love Keith O. I love signing petitions. It's so easy! But until people are willing to risk getting their heads cracked open in the street nothing is going to change. We need one thing. A leader to lead us into the streets. I thought that in 2004-and I think it more today.
