“Oh BS. After all the completely unhinged nonsense from the Left over the past 8 years, of which a lot came from Olbermann, it is patently absurd to completely ignore that and toss out a meaningless platitude like this. I’ll join with Olbermann when I deem it necessary but that does not in any way mean that his past behavior has been forgotten or forgiven. I don’t have to like or trust allies of temporary convenience, a concept Olbermann practices himself.”

You couldn’t make my point any clearer than with your foaming at the mouth about “the Left” and Keith.

We have an opportunity to move beyond cynicism, to hope, prosperity and making this a better country. But no, you want to wallow in insults and meaningless, and useless attacks. What are you gaining? What have you gained in 8 years of fear-based bashing?

I’m not ignoring anything, but what is to be gained by fixating, no, OBSESSING over the past 8 years, wheren’t they bad enough, do you really want to keep reliving them?

This is your nightmare, too, why don’t you want to wake up from it?

What, is it too comfy in there, curling up with a blanket of insults and a sipping a nice hot cup of righteous indignation?

That’s my point. We can continue the useless partisan nonsense or we can “wake up” to a new day and work together.

It is so sad to me that you really think this whole negativity thing is going to get you, or me anywhere.

My point was that I consider Olbermann to be such an insane commentator that I don’t care what he says. Period.

I can understand that. I feel quite the same about some who make comments here.

Then why do you keep commenting about him? Obviously you do care and you are paying attention to what he says, otherwise you’d have no basis for your criticisms.

We disagree here. Oblbermann’s entire show is devoted to trashing Republicans and conservatives. Hannity is partisan, yes (as is his tv partner, Colmes) but he doesn’t devote all his time to how his opposition is pure evil.

“The question is whether Olbermann was right. And on this issue he was spot-on, totally focused on the true issue, and 100% correct.”

My point was that I consider Olbermann to be such an insane commentator that I don’t care what he says. Period.

Oh BS. After all the completely unhinged nonsense from the Left over the past 8 years, of which a lot came from Olbermann, it is patently absurd to completely ignore that and toss out a meaningless platitude like this. I’ll join with Olbermann when I deem it necessary but that does not in any way mean that his past behavior has been forgotten or forgiven. I don’t have to like or trust allies of temporary convenience, a concept Olbermann practices himself.

If Olbermann is part of the problem, what are you doing to change it? Or are we playing “monkey-see, monkey do”?

How about appreciating someone for what they do and deciding “you know what, I’m not going to pulled down into this cynicism and insults by taking a shot at him, I’m just going to be appreciative and move forward.”

By all means, express yourself, and I’ll check back in with you in 8 years and see if cynicism, partisanship, and insults suddenly became helpful. I don’t have much faith in that, to be honest.

Again, I repeat:

It’s a new day. Wake up.

So, are we just going to lob childish insults about a man who has no reason to support us yet DOES support us, or are you going to be appreciate the fact that he gets us?

We’ve had 8 years of cynical partisanship and insults, isn’t that long enough? It’s a new day. Wake up.

Note to Ken R – I agree with you about Sean Hannity & Bil O’Reilly. I’d add Rachel Maddow, Alan Colmes & Mark Levin to this list as well.
