Comparing Liberals to Hitler for charging him with violating campaign finance laws sets off Keith Olbermann's latest Special Comment. You'd think he's going to fall out of his chair for the shock of Tom DeLay's humorous-if-not-scary analogy.

Putz is the word that comes to mind.

Digg!

Thank you Mr. Olberman for your continued exposing and disarming of the sickening rhetoric that is Tom Delay's drivel. When oh when do we see the last of this criminal?

Something to cause everyone some uncontrolled upchukking...
Tom Delay was, recently, interviewed on MSNBC and CNN. How can this CRIMINAL get any, ANY press time. Like interviewing Hitler for reasons why he invaded Poland, isn't it!

that these hypocritical idiots usually come from either Texas or Florida? I swear I wish the south had been allowed to secede and created their own country. It is embarrassing and infuriating to be "related" to them.

Texas needs less lowlife like DeLay, and more good people who stand up for the oppressed, like Willie Nelson.

The Masters of Propaganda have so distorted the message as to leave the masses mesmerized and hypnotised by repetitive rantings against their enemies.

The message needs to be questioned.

The assumption that the media "brings us the facts" is not only suspect in the 21st century, it is paramount to delusional obsessions.

Delusional because it is not an accurate reflection of reality.

And an obsession because the deluded person cannot let go of the illusion.

Faults are a condition of our existance. Errors in perception and judgement are native to the human species.

*existance means the evolutionary development of our species; the "a" in existance represents the origin [the alpha] of humanity in evolution.

Humanity is not inexorably driven toward catastrophe; nor is it inexoriably driven toward utopia.

All life begins. All life ends.

Our very lives, as we know it, have had a beginning and will invariably have an END.

What will we entrust to the next generation?

Will we leave to them a nation so indebted to foreign creditors (China and Japan) as to make infeasible an existence of relative ease?

Or will our legacy to our children amount to a sell-out to the monied interests -- in order to secure our own jobs?

Innovation, and the willingness to change, is our strength.

We ignore our strength to our own demise.

We have in numbers what the ruling class can only dream of: the general consensus of the people of this nation.

They may control the MEDIUM, but they cannot control the message.

And the message is REBELLION.

If we do not take a stand against the current system of government, we are prone to manipulation by the moned interests that "divide our people" and conquer us by our division.

Instead, we must examine our lives in political fashion, and refuse the subordination of our ideas to the will of the Minority.

Our vision is expansive, not retricted to sectarian preferences or prejudices.

We include all of humanity, not only those born into wealth.

Our vision of governance, is democratic, not monarchist.

DeLay seriously needs a new rug to replace the dead animal on his head. Too bad he can't replace what's inside that head. He is so hypocritical,paranoid & slimy. Watching him makes me sick.
