Keith Olbermann's anger...

It has been reported that Rudy Giuliani's campaign expressed its dismay at NBC News reporter Keith Olbermann's commentary on April 25, in which he accused Giuliani of using the language of Osama bin Laden with "the same chilling nonchalance of the madman" to argue that Republicans would keep Americans safer than Democrats from terror.

Luckily, Keith Olbermann can defend himself better than anyone, but that should not be necessary. If only America had more political parties, there would be room for more views, including those of a "rogue" reporter. As we've seen under Bush and his "mandate" a one percent majority of those that did not stay home to watch "Days of Our Lives" and got out to vote can lead to a near-dictatorial chokehold, not unlike a communist party's rule in China, or previously, Russia. People like Olbermann have dared to stick their neck out to keep the power-grab hungry politicians in check that will squander their own beliefs and our vested hope for a better future for dollars and a nod from the dummies that believe their fear-monging diatribes. Only now journalist are becoming a little more courageous and begin looking for the hard facts, but not long ago they sheepishly reported the propaganda coming from Karl Rove's keyboard. Olbermann, Colbert, Stewart, and others who dare to expose the Giulianis, Roves, DeLays, Cheneys, Bushes, Rumsfelds, Rices, McCains, Frists, etc., do that with wit and an uncanny instinct for truth and truthiness, venting our combined anger and frustration as we witness the rape of decency, democracy, and humanity that shamefully parallels what once took place in Germany in 1933. We applaud that these "news entertainers" are not easily scared into the kind of self-censorship that was prevalent after 9/11, as illegal eaves-dropping programs and other highly questionable government campaigns to manipulate the masses became in effect.
