Keith Olberman dedicates entire episode of Countdown to Healthcare Reform Special Comment

All you ever do is talk about yourself...

ASHERP - really? That's what you got? Really?

That's a pretty good reply to "Another waste of space". What did you expect after a trite comment like that - blistering logic, and in depth diatribe?

KO is such bitter and jealous individual that he will try to do and say anything for ratings. His ratings are so bad that left wing BLOGS such as current is the only way to get his word out. That is why he is a waste of space on PMSNBC and needs to stick with sports.

Apparently you saved that to share, because that has nothing to do with what I said.

Next time read what I said and try to understand instead of defending MSNBC.

Ok?

Ok. You act like you're respectful of other opinions. You are full...but that's only an opinion as well as maybe a misspelling.

I'd actually like to see you try to be what you think you are....just a little, but you're too interested in seeing if you can insult me in a clever (boring to most) way.

Stick with the topic. I did. The topic is Keith thinks he can help. He can't.

The topic is HEALTH CARE and Mr Olbermann has made his contribution to moving reform forward. While others recognize and admire his efforts we see the greater cause. You waste time and effort attacking the messenger(s), again.

Forget what you want to see from me, I am more than happy to disappoint you.Do you have anything positive to add? What are your feelings on health care and what is your contribution to furthering the greater good?

Happy do disappoint?

I know what you meant, but if you ever make fun of me mistyping again....ha.

What a second did you say positive? You are postiive enough to suggest that I should be similar? No. The moment you have something positive to state about Rush and Glenn and Sean will be when I can sit here without laughing and actually buy you're request and try.

Just because you call it the greater good doesn't mean it is. You and Keith are smoking the same thing. It's not for the greater good. That's so BS. It's for the greater good of the party not the people. Don't partisan crap more. It stinks. Be straight forward.

I'm attacking his crapy way of speaking and his lack of knowledge on how to use a quote correctly.

You do that with Rush and Glenn all the time. You don't focus on the message. You focus on them.

Don't dictate to me what you cannot do, yet again.

Excuse my typo and thanks for pointing it out. However, I don't make fun of your typing, just your writing.

Rush, Glenn, Bill-O and alike are not flip sides of the coin here. You've again conflated subject matter. Moreover, your reasoning is "you do it too". You feel it necessary to be negative towards Keith and pretty much anything that makes sense because others and myself rail against stupidity, lies a racism and treason? Is that truly what you meant to say?

Try as you may to to ignore the subject the questions still stand unanswered. What are your feelings on health care and what is your contribution to furthering the greater good?

Eldamon, arguing with JJammer is a waste of time.

Most of the time, I just ignore him.

Asherp, No doubt. I have no delusions of him ever actually getting it. I find it perversely entertaining for some odd reason and good practice for when I have actual intellectually balanced debates. You know, kinda like shadow boxing.

Ignoring means not ever talking about the person.

Failure is what people accomplish when they pretend to ignore.

And Shadow Boxer---you're not on the right side just because you say. Sorry to burst that pretentious bubble.

I totally hear you, eldamon.

It can be fun playing with the stupid people, figuring out what the bullshit du jour is, so that you can hone your skills arguing against their hair-brained delusions.

Right now though, I just don't have the energy anymore. I've got outrage fatigue, and these people rise to the defense of murder, exploitation, and everything that is immoral and wrong in the world. They have zero empathy-- it's like they're not even people.

They have no class, no self-respect, and no respect for others. I have absolutely no use for such immoral cretins as the likes of them.

You just can't argue morality with people who argue in favor of murder.

Hahaha.

Love how you two are so angry.

Yeah, that's what kills me. These people get in over their heads and obviously over their vocabularies and never stopped to think about what they are opposing.

Far be it that anyone would oppose you.

You can't take it.

I know!

They certainly can't have any loved ones who've had to suffer from whatever issue it is at hand-- be it war, the health insurance racket, foreclosure, etc

Or if they have they don't understand the issue in any depth, because almost all of this is avoidable-- and is the fault of a powerful few, be they insurance CEOs, politicians, bankers, or defense contractors like Lockheed Martin.

What they are doing is killing people, and yet it is legal. That needs to change.

I don't understand how people could oppose the progressive 'agenda' because it's literally, "facts, and be nice to people."

The fact that these stupid people rally in favor of things that are killing people by the thousands every day, that they don't even understand... or that they do understand, but have no empathy for... it's just sad really.

And funny that two people think they have the world figured out.

It's severe myopia, a serious failing to grasp the overarching principle. The complete inability or arcane unwillingness to see the forest for the trees in a pathetic effort to be "right" about some useless portion of a much larger matter. It's Cliff Clavin in reality sans the funny or harmless consequences. One has to wonder what would make someone ignore one of the biggest challenges the country has ever faced in order to make a ridiculous minuscule point.

As you said before, surely they don't have a loved one or anyone for that matter that has had to deal with the health care industry lately. Regardless of political morays health care, or lack there of effects us all. Baring being an actual sitting board member or a major stock holder I don't see how anyone would consider attacking the messenger when the cause is better universal health. Could anyone actually be THAT self involved?

So does the people without food.
Those with out parents.
Those without a job.

But you don't care about those as you are only focused on what you think you have an answer to.

i would love to see this happen... but it seem so far out of reach... and just...

too expensive for the common person.

but i am in full support.

Keith Olbreman is spending money out of pocket to run these free clinics, and other rich celebrities are getting on board.

Of course it would require people to band together and donate on a regular basis. But it could be on a pay what you can basis. If you need services pay them what you can, forego the insurance coverage. This would especially work for those who have individual plans and have to pay very high premiums. They end up being denied coverage anyway.

The other thing is that doctors would have to get on board so that the quality at the clinics is as good as anywhere else. One of the problems with clinics is that the quality is often poor. But with doctors as pissed at insurance companies as they are, perhaps they'd be willing to contribute services on a part time basis.

I'm interested to see how successful Olberman's clinics turn out. That could be the impetus.

It wouldn't be easy. But with Olberman starting a momentum it might be possible. Imagine if everyone in the country did this; if companies dropped their insurance plans and instead contributed to clinics.

This is a democracy. The only reason insurance companies have the power is because we give it to them. We don't have to depend on a paid off congress to do something. We can take back our democracy with our wallets. Cut off the insurance companies and cut off the banks.

Proof he's doing it. I don't by people by their word. Especially certain people with doggy icons.

At What?

comment he made about healthcare. like... the whole thing... its note worthy at the least and a great call on free clinics.
