You should visit a few lefty blogs and tell them how you grew up. Then pose that questions to them. I think the answers you get could be really interesting. I would expect lots of goal post shifting, but who knows.

I’m stealing this from a guy on Fox discussing Rosie and what MSNBC is expecting to get from her.

“Rosie is like the crazy homeless person who refuses to leave the library”

Bwahahahahaha!!!

America can’t be that “fascist” considering how Keith Olbermann is able to go on tv twice a night and call our President a “Nazi”, the Republican Party “terrorists”, the Attorney General a “houseboy”, the Homeland Security Secretary a “clown”. All without any retribution whatsoever. Try doing any of that in a real fascist state and see what happens to you.

Cable TV is not worthless, as any fan of “Monk” and/or the “Closer” will testify. Oh, don’t forget, Torchwood…”

Why does anyone even have cable TV? I do not understand it. It cost several hundreds of dollars a year and is less than worthless.

At the risk of sounding like I am; that is, a right wing nut with an Evangelical bent:

Isaiah 5:20-21 (Today’s New International Version)
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.

IOW, Woe to KO and other moonbats

Might I add:

Because though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, or thank Him, but rather became vain in their reasonings, and their heart, lacking understanding, was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools; And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.

-Romans 1:21-23

Someone needed to make sure that his audience forgot that he just had to apologize to Rudy on his previous show. The Man may let KO run wild, but occasionally, he does have to squeal like a pig, lest he forget who his masters are.

He should be given credit though, for not utilizing body language as a means of news analysis.

Did you take mischaracterization lessons from Olbermann? I never said that ticking time bomb scenarios happen all the time. Read the frickin post. I said that KSM is as close as we’re likely to get to one, because we knew he knew a lot but we didn’t know what he knew.

For the record, I don’t watch 24 and never have. Now run along back to ronpaulforpresident.

Pick your Poison:

1. Being waterboarded for 3 minutes.

2. Listen to Keith Olbermann rant for 30 minutes.

Suddenly a couple minutes on the waterboard doesn’t sound so bad.

Chill out a little Olby. Olbermann gets so serious during his “special comment”. Of course the left are very serious people. It is a shame that they are not as serious about destroying the enemy. It amazes me in a post 911 world that my(our) beliefs are so different than my(our)fellow liberals. We truly are fighting a battle within our on country on how to fight this enemy, or to fight them at all. We have to win this battle, or we will never win the war.

I love how waterboarding terrorists gets their knickers in such a twist and partial-birth abortion doesn’t. It’s very telling. I guess it isn’t torture if you stab a child in the neck while it’s being born. Has waterboarding even killed anyone?

The first part (self-disproving fascism claim) would have been my comment after reading this. And I’m tired of rewriting that comment.

I’m glad you got that for me, saving 3 paragraphs of yet another description of fascism, and what happens in real fascism to those who call it out.

And you summarized it better than I tend to.

The ticking time bomb situation rarely if ever happens.

As it turns out, neither does waterboarding. Hasn’t stopped a lot of rending of garments about it.

Olberman might have some new company. Your buddy and mine…ROSIE!

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again – Keith Olbermann (D) is the Rosie O’Donnell of MSNBC.

By: ericire12

ericire12 — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 16:26:55 +0000

Somebody should probably tell Olbermann (D) that he really takes a credibility hit when he swears during a “political commentary”.

He sure must use the hell out of a thesaurus.

What would you have done if the decision to interrogate KSM had been yours, and whatever course you took could on the one hand affect one guilty man or the lives of thousands of innocents? These choices are never as easy as a mic jockey like Olbermann would lead his followers to believe.

The ticking time bomb situation rarely if ever happens. If it were so crystal clear (which it never is) anyone would torture…but even doing that assumes torture provides a wellspring of 100% reliable information. That’s why conservatives love “24″; it appeals to their moral simplicity. Every terrorist gives up accurate, timely information immediately after they’re tortured which saves thousands of lives. This kind of situation never occurs and basing our policy off a television show is ridiculous. For those who easily become forthing at the mouth over “lack of patriotism” some sure are easy to give up our enlightened legal system at the drop of a hat.

Olbermann is Exhibit A in why it’s problematic give opinionated, ignorant, incurious swine network airtime to sway public opinion in the middle of a war. Olbermann gathers just enough facts to allow him to twist up a case against his enemies, but he doesn’t marshall enough facts to deliver any kind of reasonable picture of what’s really taking place or what he might do if he had the responsibility of deciding what ought or ought not be done.

yeah man, he doesn’t know how it is on the ground! He doesn’t paint a reasonable picture like they do on 24! Ticking time bomb situations happen allll the time.

I get so PO’ed when I hear the moonbats screeching “The US is fascist!!!”.I lived in a fascist country-Spain in the late 1960s-& we were taught to never talk about Franco or the government as people were actually pulled off the streets or out of their beds & never seen again.

So my first question to these morons is always “Well then,why haven’t you been arrested for saying that?”

Does Bill Gates still own msnbc? {non caps on purpose}
I know Bill Gates is a democrat and somewhat to the left, but does he ever watch this fool? I doubt it. Like Immelt, CEO of GE likely does’nt watch NBC. No wonder their {msnbc, nbc} rateings are so low and getting lower.
