Keith Olbermann Gets it on Gonzo
Submitted by cactuspat on Fri, 2007-11-23 06:25. Media | Nonviolent Resistance | Video and Audio

Keith Olbermann gets it. With a not insignificant dose of irony he narrates the protesters being led off the stage at Alberto Gonzales' speech at UF. First, civil liberties were led off the stage w/o noticeable reaction from Gonzo. Second, Habeas Corpus was dragged away to the same lack of effect...

2. Keith does such a good job and has a great list of guest commentators.
I've always wondered if he's received any "calls" from the powers that be.

6. I would concur...
...our congress is under some delusion that they can accomplish a bunch of stuff that will be filibustered or vetoed by the GOP/Bush.

8. Rove In Charge of the Bush Library?
....If that's true comedians won't ever need writers again. This will be the brunt of jokes from now until they turn the building into a prison for the whole sorry lot.

9. The Frank Factor™
Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 10:58 AM by theFrankFactor
The Frank Factor is an Internet video periodical addressing the subservient, media, corporate propagandists and prostitutional politicians that are strangling America by using fear and influence to exploit us, dismantle the Constitution of the United States and remove our civil liberties.

Frank has described himself as a "partisan in recovery." Having voted as both a Republican and a Democrat, Frank has accepted the fact that he developed a partisan dependency issue.

"The first step to recovery is admitting your addiction."
--Frank

Frank seeks to alert all Americans to beware of further domination by our elected "servants" and the manipulation and erosion of our freedoms. While the "Factor" believes the jury is still out on whether the Democrats and Republicans have been engaged in a game of good-cop, bad-cop, it is clear to us that there is no effective representation of the will of Americans within this gamed, hacked and prostituted system.

The election process, which, along with our Constitution and the supremacy of the rule of law, are poisoned. Demagogy is the order of the day. Loaded questions, personal attacks, demonization, half-truths, bullying and monopolistic domination of information are passed off as the discourse of mature and responsible journalists. It is deplorable, an embarrassment and an insult to our intelligence.

The Internet poses an ever increasing challenge to these conglomerates that control what we see, hear and read. Terrorism is the all purpose excuse to torture, invade, lie, obfuscate, kill and cripple our rule of law and to fuel the military industrial complex on the blood, sweat and tears of American families. It may even be the excuse to strangle the Internet!

The root of this evil is not only religious fanaticism of every stripe, but the gluttonous lust for money and power to fill the emptiness and sickness of misguided and maladjusted individuals.

It has happened before and it's happening now!

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
--Edmund Burke
