Olbermann: ‘Last Friday Night My Father Asked Me to Kill Him’ (video)

MSNBC ^ | Feb. 24, 2010

[Free ThinkerNY]

"It’s a life panel, and damn those who call it otherwise to hell!"

[FormerACLUmember]

I don’t believe a word of his manipulative story.

[pray4liberty]

Go ahead Keith, put your father out of his misery, and then go straight to Jail. Do not pass GO.

[samadams2000]

If your father asks you to kill him instead of being taken by the hand of God you come from bad stock.

[IncPen]

That Olbermann guy always looks, to use the vernacular, like he’s pinching a loaf...

[Senator Goldwater]

Someone should be held accountable for bringing Keith Olbermann into this world.

[Question Liberal Authority]

So there ARE "Death Panels", except now Keith wants to call them "Life Panels", and they're SO VITALLY IMPORTANT that he doesn't want to pay for them.

Seriously, do you really need to collect money from taxpayers so that they can pay a doctor to tell you about death? Is there really a lack of information on the internet and elsewhere on the subject?

[Irish Rose]

Reading this made me think of a well-known phrase - the “criminally insane”. Olbermann may not be, but he certainly sounds like it.

[DB]

Keith, you are a wealthy guy, why aren’t you properly taking care of your father?

Why is it you expect others to pay for and take of care of your father?

What a sleaze ball.

[April Lexington]

Too bad pops didn’t ask him to kill himself!

[PA-RIVER]

If he were my son I would like to kill myself too. It’s natural.

[Question Liberal Authority]

This is what bugs me about the whole elitist mindset. They think something isn’t worth learning unless you pay some “professional” with a fancy degree to tell it to you. And then they think it’s the height of outrage when the professional charges money for their services.

"It’s a life panel, and damn those who call it otherwise to hell!"

When I become evil dictator of the world, I'll round people up and have them put in "life camps," and be outraged when people call them other things.

[BunnySlippers]

I not only do not believe this story, I do not believe anything else he says.

[Mobties]

Who cares? Who’s this Olbermann guy, anyway?

[KarlInOhio]

Sorry, Keith, but just about anything "optional" soon becomes mandatory if the government decides that it would save a few bucks. I don't want to live in your Logan's Run fantasy world.

[RC one]

Make him a DNR Kieth and provide hospice care. People do this every day. I had to do it to my mother. It was the worst thing I ever had to do but when your liver stops working, it’s all over. Your father’s time has come. Give him the peace he seeks and, for God’s sakes, don’t use his suffering as fodder for political commentary.

[999replies]

I am sure Keith did not hear him correctly. He actually said, “Keith, please kill yourself and put me out of my misery.”

[TruthHound]

Olby is half the man his mother was. If he were twice as smart as he is now, he’d still be an imbecile.

[Walkingfeather]

If I was his father I may ask the same thing...
