The Specter Of Violence

Via Media Matters, Keith Olbermann's special comment segment on Monday targeted Glennsanity, Lou Dobbs, Death Panels For Trig and the Town Hall Blitzers with some righteous indignation and a bucket of logic.



Bonus points for usage of the word "mountebank" to describe Glennsanity's snake oil salesmanship. For an Olbermann SC, it's a pretty damn good one.

Where was he during the 2005 debate on Social Security Privatization? And wasn't he the guy who remained mum on "Death of a President" and the shenanigans of the anti-war movement towards members of Congress and the Bush Administration, and called Bushie a "Nazi" and a "fascist"? Now, all of a sudden, he's apopletic about Sarah Palin allegedly whipping people up in a frenzy?

I agree that she's wrong about the "death panels," as that's no where in the bill, but Keith Olbermann should remember his hands aren't clean when it comes to engaging in irresponsible rhetoric.

I agree, Olbermann's gone off into the wild blue yonder more than couple of times.

But he's right on this subject.

Stealing an idea from Rachel Maddow, with just "One more thing..." Keithy stated that there would be no Health Choices Commissioner in HR 3200. Apparently, he didn't read page 41...

So before he attempts to call out "reich-wingers" on their "lies," he'd best make sure his ducks were in a row...
