Salud and thank you, Keith. I love you, but the world needs less anger right now.

[newtothegame]

I prefer Rach.

1. WTF? We only get one?

They are both very vauable

[Hannah Bell]

16. +100. "The liberal media" now = Rachel Maddow. The "conservative media" = everyone else.

unless you count steward & colbert.

[DangerousRhythm]

21. Exactly.

I'm still stunned... I don't really know if I'll be able to deal with the online and RL gravedancing very well, to be honest. This is a terrible loss for us. I just hope he can get a radio show or maybe somehow get all of his Tweetings and online doings reported on like other people seem to... I know, wishful thinking.

2. just might need more

righteous anger... and intelligence and telling wit... Keith Olbermann has all these

4. cant argue with that.

Love Keith, but his hyperbole was, at times, too much.

[Umbral]

24. Color me shocked!

[maryf]

5. Au contraire, we need much more anger...

Jesus smashed the money changers' tables, time we did the same...

[arcane1]

6. Disagree. It needs more anger, less rage n/t

[Dappleganger]

7. Fuck that.

Obviously you didn't watch him except in soundbites.

[dkf]

8. The world needs less anger but this bs pisses me off.

MSNBC was my main channel just because of Olbermann. I'm so mad at them I want to see some of the shows but I may have to quit and hope Rachel moves to CNN.

10. Anger is ok -- as long as it is pointed in the RIGHT direction.

[Lucian]

11. I think we need more anger in this country.

There isn't enough. We're being screwed, so we should just sit back and take it?

F that.

[Upton]

12. The RW has their anger..

we need to fight back, not act like cowards..

[old mark]

13. We need all the anger we can get, directed at the right...nt

[Starry Messenger]

14. What's wrong with anger?

Nothing would ever get accomplished in life if we all devoted ourselves to this detached navel-gazing some seem so fond of.

[theophilus]

15. More anger, please. For the right reasons.....n/t

[Hannah Bell]

17. tell it to limbaugh, beck, hannity, et al.

[DangerousRhythm]

18. Anger is an energy...

Directed the right way, it can do much good.

[RainDog]

19. LOL. So I assume you contact Fox News every day complaining about the Beckerhead

because, if not, your view of what constitutes less anger is seriously skewed to the right.

[WillyT]

20. And THAT Is Why We Will Continue To Lose...

:banghead:

[musette_sf]

22. You think Rachel will be there for long?

Matthews and Schultz will set the tone now. Slightly left-of-center mouthpieces for the corporatocracy.

I'm sure GEM$NBComcast just wishes ole Punkin Head Russert was still around, to throw butt-kissing softballs at the Dick Cheneys of the world in the most inoffensive (to the corporatocracy, anyway) manner imaginable.

[Umbral]

23. Wow, that didn't take long at all...

Tell me, if you pull three aces do you fold immediately or bluff a single round?

[JackRiddler]

25. What the world needs less of is milquetoasts who don't even know what they think.

[Chorophyll]

26. The world needs less violent, misdirected rhetoric.

Anger on the other hand is justifiable and necessary. Keith wasn't always my cup of tea, but he needs to be on the air doing what he does. And he needs to be one of many -- on TV, the net, and the radio.

[firehorse]

27. Anger is a more appropriate emotion right now than being complacent

There is unbalanced manufactured outrage that the right engaged in, and there are times when its appropriate to be angry and not be a doormat. There are very few voices that speak on behalf of the left. If now is not an appropriate time to be angry... then when is it?
