On Monday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann delivered his latest "Special Comment," in which he called on President-elect Barack Obama to prosecute President Bush and administration members on a charge of torturing prisoners, and invoked extreme examples such as slavery leading to the Civil War, and the handling of Germany after World War I leading to the rise of Nazism and World War II, to illustrate that "this country has never succeeded in moving forward without first cleansing itself of its mistaken past," and that Obama must try to prosecute Bush for the sake of the country’s future. After quoting Bush’s recent words about the interrogation techniques he authorized against 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and statements by Obama expressing reluctance to pursue prosecutions against the Bush administration, Olbermann began invoking extreme examples from history.
This country has never succeeded in moving forward without first cleansing itself of its mistaken past. ... We compromised with slavery in the Declaration of Independence, and, fourscore and nine years later, we had buried 600,000 of our sons and brothers in a civil war. After that war’s ending, we compromised with the social restructuring and protection of the rights of minorities in the South. And a century later, we had not only had not resolved anything, but black leaders were still being assassinated in the cities of the South. We compromised with Germany in the reconstruction of Europe after the First World War. Nobody even arrested the German kaiser, let alone conducted war crimes trials then. And 19 years later, there was an indescribably more evil Germany and a more heartrending Second World War.

i wish i could run into olberbite just one time on the street just one time! please God let me run into this guy one time. i would do jail time to meet this guy in the street!
No, he's more sinister than that. He's flat out evil. I truly believe that.
Keith Uber-Loon jumped over the shark into the abyss many months ago. This is just his latest rant from deep down in the abyss. The few people who watch and listen to him do so for freak enjoyment and the few who work for him do so because he’s their meal ticket.
Olbermann Limbaugh O’Reilly Springer...
Why do so many waste their time with these self-serving pundits? They care about ratings and advertisers - not you or anything you care about.
If you like being screwed/ignored/pandered to/frustrated — keep marching to the beat of their drums.
As he loves to say about other people...Olberman is the worst person in the world.
I just looked him up on Wikipedia...to see what possible qualifications he could have, that would merit MSNBC’s keeping him (its not viewership).
A few tidbits - he has restless leg syndrome. He has a digestive problem called celiac disease, which can cause chronic diarrhoea. He has an extra vertebrae in his spine. He can’t drive, because he HIT HIS HEAD on a subway door once....kinda let’s you see what makes him tick.
Rupert Murdoch on Keith: “I fired him....he’s crazy”
“We compromised with Germany in the reconstruction of Europe after the First World War. And 19 years later, there was an indescribably more evil Germany and a more heartrending Second World War.”
The “more evil Germany “ of the Hitler era was caused by bitterness over the suffering caused by the harsh retributions imposed upon Germany by the Versailles treaty following WW1. This led to a complete collapse of the German economy and hyperinflation in the 1920’s. This was compromise? The general belief is that terms imposed by the allies were excessive.
“This is a people’s democracy.”
A great choice of words by a “professional” reporter(sarc). Olbermann had better not let the North Koreans hear that. They might get jealous.
Pink tie and undies makes comic book Uberloon tres chic amongst the Washington cognoscenti and jet setters. Fashionable tie and underpants for fashionable people.
“That man is EVIL!” Gov. Sarah Palin
How on earth do you put Limbaugh in with those guys?
Olbermann would rather see a schoolbus blown up with dead Americans in the street and then complain and whine about why Bush didn’t do anything.
You cannot reason with retarded maggots, he is a maggot, for sure.
Many of my leftist friends (I live in California) are getting fed up with this clown’s antics.
I knew Olbermann was crazy but I think he’s really a nutcase who is a danger to those around him like Al Franken. These desperate, power grabbing, communist globalists are getting out of hand.
Keith Olbermann can sit on a PR-24.
The Obamao would be wise to keep people like Olberloon out of his inner circle.
Hey Keith - you worried about terrorists’ rights when President Bush (with the blessing of God almighty) kept this country terror-free for eight years?
You’re not impressing me with your intelligence!
amen and he’s silly. giddy and silly...
