for Keith.

passed away in May of 2007.

For your mom.

I would love to hear what he has to say today.

He may be "hard to work with" but put him back on TV!!

It would be great if Keith could get back on MSNBC or Current. Both sides need to put their ego's aside and come together.

He reminds me of my dear Father.--hi Keith

I think he would have called it out in plain language often. I've tried to do that on my radio show but obviously I dont have a small fraction of the reach a national cable news show has.

Keith would have been out there calling Romney out for each and every lie every day and there have been a lot of lies to call out. 917 in the last 42 weeks or so according to that guy who writes on Rachel's blog.

It would have been a beautiful season of rants for KO.

I cannot understand why no one else brought it up.

I'm certainly not going on the air and attacking a religion.

would you not condemn those practices?

If you actually delve into the Mormon tenet, you might think differently. Considering the fact that Jos. Smith's dream was having LDS in the White House, I believe that tenet should see the light of day.

Look at it another way. If Obama happened to be a Democratic Mormon, do you think the pundits on the Right would not be screaming about this tenet at the top of their lungs?

Fire with Fire, I say.

You really should check out that Google link, it is very interesting. Watch the vid that is half-way down the page. LDS had it banned from YouTube, but it found its way back in.

Who says that Mormonism is a religion? It's a cult, kind of like The People's Temple but a heck of a lot more organized.

I cannot do this to another religion after the historical way Jews have been portrayed by bigots. Not going to do it.

I've done my share of LDS bashing over the months. Got chided plenty for doing so, too.

Yours is the best reason I have heard for me to knock it off.

Sincere thanks.

should not be elected. They prove they cannot think rationally. I don't care if they believe in Torah, Pope, Bishop, shaman, soothsayer or whatever. Their bullshit is the cause of too much misery in the world.

Given the choice between a believer and an atheist, give me the atheist every time.

from a dream into a reality. It also mobilized African American church goers in MD to vote for gay marriage in MD Tuesday.

It might not mean anything to those who reject the Christian right, but there are plenty religious people existing side by side with avowed atheists in the Democratic party.

This is how it always starts. Equivalencies, hyperbole, and payback. I could use the same techniques to toast your post, and you wouldn't like a bit of it. Hands off the faith, yo!

He'd need a 6 hour show that ran twice a day!

Rachel should do just fine...

I hope not.

Last time they left him in the corner... and kept remembering Tim and his white board and how much fun he would have had with the Obama election.

of wasting his talent.

He helped make me a political junkie! I didn't follow blindly - I knew it when he went over the top - but when he nailed it he nailed it.

Hope he's doing well and returns to political analysis & commentary again. Love you, KO, wherever you are!

This election has not been the same without him. HE would have been on the stories we reviewed here that none of the MSM would touch.

Sam

he's probably twittering??? sorry if mispelled.

He has 411, 453 followers, and his last "tweet" was about an hour ago.

Gonna always be grateful to KO for those years...

And the work that he did with the Free Clinics was outstanding. I was a big Keith fan.

Back in DU1.0 my signature was dedicated to him!!

We need more of that. MSNBC is watered down now. Even Rachel has gone kind of flat. She gets too into the horse race of it all and on too many occasions I've seen her be "even handed" when it was NOT called for at all, the truth was clear and she allowed there to be "two sides". And LOD has been getting on my nerves lately, too much with the name dropping and how he wrote for West Wing. We get it Lawrence, it's not about you though.

I've found the best Keith replacement out there is Eliot Spitzer, over on CurrentTV -- though Eliot lacks Keith's fire.

Bottom line is, we have a much greater selection of voices to choose from now, and Keith played a HUUUUGE role in that coming about.

We need him more than ever today.

When no one dared to comment Keith dared to ask the questions. So many stories on why he left was it EGO, Money or they just wanted him gone.

Hopefully, he'll get another opportunity at some point to return to political opinion and punditry.

he seems a bit too self-important for my tastes.

K&R

When Phil Griffin at MSNBC grows a brain, a spine, and pulls his head out of his ass he should have Keith back. He was the best thing on that channel ever.

respond to that"?

I always felt a little smarter and a lot better informed after watching his show.

I do like Rachel, but she tends to repeat herself and her segments too much. Plus, I do not get it when she has people like Steve Schmidt and Michael Steele on. I've gotten so I simply skip those segments.

I have no idea which channel I will use to watch the polls...possibly stream the BBC coverage because the US ones will be dreadful...

I really miss his voice, his rants and his humor.

He needs to find his way back to TV

I miss not seeing him. He knew how to get the story accross

today: https://twitter.com/keitholbermann

He sure helped me cope with a shitload of stuff. I wish someone else would take a chance on him, and that he would stop being his own worst enemy. 'Cause dammit, we NEED his voice out there, in public, sounding off, rattling cages, and vexing the bad guys!

I knew that it was important for me to set aside the time to watch Keith every night. I understood more about what was going on and more important Why. It is to bad that him and Current TV did not get along. I hope that he comes back on TV some where, and learns to play nice with those who pay him....

to discuss the Clinton witch hunts when the Republican House wrongfully impeached Clinton for a non impeachable specious charge of not disclosing details of his sex life to a bunch of gargoyles who wanted to masturbate to their mind's image of a young Monica on her knees. The rest of the "liberal" media jumped on the bandwagon. Kieth refused to sell the bullshit.

have taken up his reigns!

Larry King has gone to the web. Here are two parts to an interview of KO (very recent - like, last week). Very interesting.

(I don't know why the 2 URL's come out so different.)

I have been meaning to watch that. It will be a good alternative to the election returns.

Thank you so much for the links.

I really miss Keith.

You are so missed. What you did for us in dark times was amazing, you told the truth and gave us another place.

head to say that the slide into nationalist corporatism was not historically inevitable. And he kept saying until lots of people started believing it.

I watched his show from day one on MSNBC religiously. Got my Nephew watching and many in my family so we could talk about the show. He was there for us when no one else was. He talked about election fraud in 2004 when no one else would. Hated Current, but watched anyway.

Love you Keith! You were the only one fighting for us for a while and I'll never forget that (not to minimize the roles of Stephan Colbert and Jon Stewart). PLEASE come back soon!

Here's on of these for old time's sake.

outraged ever since. Despite the negatives related to those facts, I will be forever grateful to Keith and I think he's a hero.

"Damn! I really miss Keith today!!"

I hope we hear from Keith again.

He was a bit tough to work with and to bad because Current is putting quite the format and Keith would have been Big Dog

Best broadcaster on television. One of the few with integrity and guts.

Keith Olbermann ?@KeithOlbermann

Thanks everybody! RT @captfox25 @KeithOlbermann lots of people are saying thank you @Democraticunderground: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021731176#post38 …

...spoke up when no one else would. I will always be grateful for that.

Thanks, Keith!

Special Comment right now.

There would be no MSNBC without Keith.

Yes, we "owe him a great deal of gratitude" and I appreciate your thread very much.

K&R for Keith and for grasswire.

He did get the ball rolling in the mainstream media. I also remember an article written about him that proclaimed his style to be the news of the future.

Too bad I won't get to hear you call this one for Obama too.

Keith, Was a privilege to be there in the beginning with you. Just think how many of us have passed on what we learned to the next generation.

"... and that's the way it is." Thank you.

Tough job but somebody had do it.

You were a true trailblazer.

The laughter got me through the tears of the Bush years in Idaho....

Keith Olbermann got rather emotional when he announced that Barack Obama had won the election. It was VERY moving. It was a historic moment. It was a historic election! And he helped save my sanity (what was left of it) during those gawdawful Bush years. Thank you, Mr. Olbermann.

And this thread is AWESOME Keith Olbermann was a TRAILBLASTER! PERIOD!

you are missed.

we owe him many many thanks. I wish he was on TV.

A master of looking BEHIND the curtain and letting us see there too! I sure miss his sharp and revealing commentary. Hell, I even miss the Thurber readings. Thank you, KO!

last night.

You sir are a patriot!

still waiting for his next show.. come back Keith!!!

like TYT.

His voice is still needed.

and media execs should be scrambling to get him back in front of the camera. Sure, he's a petulent narcissist, but he's also a genius when compared to most of the other talking heads in the main stream media.

He needs to be back on air.

Keith gave us hope, when there was very little. I remember his first special comment..and many others..
Special thanks to Keith today and everyday.

KO is a patriot!

I thought of that last night as I watched Rachel host the evening. KO brought her on and she brought on Chris and others.

His leaving MSNBC allowed the directional change at Current. I toggled between both of them equally at commercial breaks or if I wanted to watch something in HD, I switched to MSNBC.

Yes, KO put our political point of view back on the the TV to a wider audience. So, props.

I think we all forget that

I hope to see you soon on line or TV.

He's a rude blowhard. I don't like blowhards even if they're on my side.

Blast away at me - I don't care.

took all of them on! thank you Keith!

You are missed, Keith.

the friday after the election was stolen in ohio 2004, He was the only one with the guts to say it like it is back then. You weren't aloud to talk against the war, that meant you were attacking our troops.
