Wow! Thank you for this energetic, demanding, thoughtful, understandable and very direct series of comments and questions that refer to the pathetic, vastly disappointing, ridiculous, profoundly disturbing and self-degrading messages and slurs coming at us all from the rickety, unstrustworthy, confused, angry and mean-minded McCain/Palin for President/Vice-Presidential campaign. Do Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin think we, in this varied and wonderful country, are that narrow-minded and bigoted and stupid? They are wrong. The McCain/Palin duo seems to be trying on petticoat fascism and that's not very tony fashion sense in my opinion. These would be Emperors look awfully naked to me!

I am sick of the McCain / Palin ticket as well as their supporters call anyone who disagrees with them anti american, and saying anyone who disagrees with them hate working god fearing people as if you are not a person of faith if you don't support this ticket. WTF I am a real American

Keith oberman, you are right most all the time. Thank you for your stands.

rush limberger, there is fux news on tv and limberger cheese on radio. All these talking head pundits are paid mega bucks to spew the conservative agendas to the public who for the most part have no alternative than ingesting their puke for information. The msm in america is a top threat to the security of this country and sadly, the people elected to office are the ones who can change it from a conservative propaganda platform to an open platform but for the corporate loyalties of these elected people. And sadder still are the people that don't even realize the crap they get is tainted, gussied up, or just not reported and these people believe this dribble. I never believe the forked tongue people taking multimillion dollar salaries to tell me what is happening.(I believe I read where tush limballess is making $280million for his efforts to distort americans and all the drugs and kids he wants for his perverted pleasures) Some model of american conservatism that makes me do as they are so prone to do and that is lump all conservatives in a group and treat them like tush limberger should be, sent to indonesia to be caned for a full hour and salt poured on his back afterwards. There are very few republicans that I think are decent people, there are maybe a lot more but at this point I don't give them much of the benefit of doubt as that is what they use so readily to gainsay people and try to keep the upper hand, make you 'give up the benefit of doubt'.

Why the surprised tone? Of all people Mr Olbermann you must have a certain grasp of history so why not "cut to the chase" as you say : the tone, the words and the tactics used in the last 10 days are straight out of the thirties. This is once again primordial FASCISM rearing its monstrous head. Plain and simple! And to get to that point it reveals the extent of deep frustration in the McCain-Palin camp. The big unknown is how deep really does this strain of thought run in America today...

Olbermann has smashed another neo-Republican spit-ball out of the ballpark. The whole world view of these nasty-speaking divisive clowns is crumbling around them. I have had quite enough of the litany of fear and ignorance, the two major planks in the Republican platform. The Shrub hangs like an albatross around McCain's neck, and he cannot or dares not pull it off, for its rotting stench attracts the zombie-brained fundamentalist right-wingers, still hoping that decaying flesh of ideas will somehow bring them sustenance or solace.

Thanks again for speaking truth, Keith Olberman, but tell me: When do we officially start calling it hate speech? Where is Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center? It's time to put some legal teeth in the red meat of the republican hate machine.
