Olbermann will offer a special commentary tonight - sneak peek

A special comment on 9/11


Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” broadcasts live from Ground Zero to commemorate five years since 9/11.

Olbermann will offer a special commentary on how the course of the nation was forever altered by the events of that day, and by the actions of the administration in the months and years afterward.

Check out this sneak peak:

snip...
The only positive on 9/11 and the days and weeks that so slowly and painfully followed it was the unanimous humanity, here, and throughout the country. The government, the President in particular, was given every possible measure of support.

Those who did not belong to his party—tabled that.

Those who doubted the mechanics of his election—ignored that.

Those who wondered of his qualifications—forgot that.

History teaches us that nearly unanimous support of a government cannot be taken away from that government by its critics.

It can only be squandered by those who use it not to heal a nation’s wounds, but to take political advantage.

Terrorists did not come and steal our newly-regained sense of being American first, and political, fiftieth. Nor did the Democrats. Nor did the media. Nor did the people.

The President—and those around him—did that.

2. Nothing but respect for KO....
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 03:45 PM by LibDemAlways
However, in the days and weeks following 911 I, for one, never - not for one second - supported the Bush Crime Family. I suspected their involvement from the get-go, knew they were murderous bastards who'd think nothing of killing 3000 people to advance an agenda; and everything that's happened in the years since has only strengthened my conviction that they knew this was coming and let it happen on purpose.

Proud to say I was never duped into supporting these criminals, but I understand where KO is coming from and applaud his willingness to hand these thugs their ass on this sad day of remembrance.

3. Keith will be fired within the year
and replaced with Rita Cosby. It's sure to happen on a Fascist cheerleading network like msnbc, but God bless him for giving it his all and stating the obvious truth!
