Only on MSNBC, the network that prides itself as the "place for politics" could you see this type of anti-religion, anti-conservative vitriol.

On MSNBC's Sept. 1 "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," host Keith Olbermann entertained the musings of Dan Savage, a syndicated sex columnist, author and gay-rights advocate about religious conservatives and their participation in public policy debate.

"When you have a party that claims to speak for God or claims that God is on its side, the rhetoric heats up and the anger heats up because it's not just a battle about ideas and positions and what's good for the country or bad for the country," Savage said. "It's a battle about what God wants and what God doesn't want. It's easier to demagogue about your enemies and to despise them and to dehumanize them in this really personal and vicious way."

By their telling the truth?

Perhaps Obama should find another MO. The truth not only hurts him; but apparently is putting his life in jeopardy.

They are truly over the edge. I think THEY secretly might want something to happen to 0bama so they can blame conservatives.

I honestly believe that's been their intent the entire time. No better way to push an agenda than to demonize the people who are trying to protect Liberty.

Pray for this country, Folks. I don't think we have much time left.

Keep in mind that MSNBC is on this anti-Obama crazies theme, and so the crackpots on our side will be used as examples against us. We should not tolerate any death wishes on Obama by crackpots on our side, it’s the type of thing a democrat troll might post here.

Beck should simply admit to trying exactly as hard to get Obama killed as Olbermann tried to get Bush killed.

It makes sense. Obama is a disaster and what better way for democrats to fix the problem than by getting him killed and blaming the right.

When you do your best to rob people of their wealth and freedoms, what do you expect?

Didn’t Obama claim to be in partnership with God in the issues of life and death?

If anyone’s claiming that God supports their agenda it’s the president.

Here’s the problem: (cable news ratings for 8/31/09)

5PM – P2+ (25-54) (35-64)
Glenn Beck– 2,935,000 viewers (826,000) (1,320,000)
Situation Room—805,000 viewers (141,000) (265,000)
Hardball w/ Chris Matthews—565,000 viewers (119,000) (253,000)
Fast Money—230,000 viewers (65,000) (103,000)
Prime News–304,000 viewers (148,000) (143,000)

8PM – P2+ (25-54) (35-64)
The O’Reilly Factor – 3,082,000 viewers (910,000) (1,436,000
Campbell Brown – 843,000 viewers (171,000) (284,000)

A real contrast in numbers. It has to really burn Olberman.

What’s Olbermann worried about anyhow, everybody knows you can’t kill God!

Unless he realizes that 0bama is just one more tin plated little dictator idol who is a banana peel and a strong wind away from falling ALLLLLL the way down...

Your frenzied panic and fear looks good on you Keith, better change your panties, sounds like they’re in a wad.

Agree. I don't remember him complaining about the movie where Bush was assassinated. Loser.
