"I know if I could only listen to Lincoln on this of all days about the better angels of our nature, I’d know that what we’re seeing at the Tea Parties is, at its base, people who are afraid – terribly, painfully, cripplingly, blindingly afraid. You’re scared and you’re in a world that has changed in a million ways, and the most obvious one of them is something unforeseeable not a decade ago – a black President. And yet, you are also in an world, inherited, installed by generations that knew only fear and brutality and prejudice and difference and suspicion. The generations have gone, but the suspicion lingers on."
Do you really want me to post the entire video of Keith Olbermann's latest "Goofysburg Address". This isn't the first time the "erudite" Mr Olbermann has used the "R" word to describe people who don't agree with him, didn't vote for Obama and who think that the Government is making a dangerous power grab to exert total control over our lives.
There is no point in arguing with Olbermann that he is wrong. He is a left-wing ideologue who has utter contempt for average, every-day Americans who don't live on either coast. He is an arrogant elitist.
But you already know that.
Olbermann, of course, is only one member of the 4 Horseman of the Apocolypse (he, Chris Matthew, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz). They are all an embarrassment to MSNBC in their own individual and special ways. Someday, the kids who operate NBC and MSNBC these days will wake up to the fact that the American viewing public is not watching them anymore. They have moved on to Fox or CNN or maybe even the Weather Channel.
"Lincoln....the better angels of our nature...."
You don't really want to see the video, do you?
I didn't think so.
