Oooooooooohhhh! Keith Olberman strikes back!

This was posted on the MSNBC site doing the promo for Keith's show tonight....it seems that Keith is a little....er....ah....mifffed(?) at Rumsfeld's comments comparing ANYBODY who criticizes the administration with "appeasers" of the Nazi regime...said this is a "different kind of "fascism". Here's Keith's opening volley:

""It demands the deep analysis—and the sober contemplation—of every American.For it did not merely serve to impugn the morality or intelligence - indeed, the loyalty—of the majority of Americans who oppose the transient occupants of the highest offices in the land;

Worse, still, it credits those same transient occupants - our employees—with a total omniscience; a total omniscience which neither common sense, nor this administration’s track record at home or abroad, suggests they deserve.

Dissent and disagreement with government is the life’s blood of human freedom; And not merely because it is the first roadblock against the kind of tyranny the men Mr. Rumsfeld likes to think of as “his” troops still fight, this very evening, in Iraq.It is also essential. Because just every once in awhile… it is right—and the power to which it speaks, is wrong."

Here's the "linky-thing"

And that's not all....Stephen Day at Last Chance Democracy Cafe, had some great words today...and so did some of his commenters.

and a snippet or two:

The bottom line, according to Rumsfeld’s “logic” is that the only way to be a patriotic American is to blindly follow his lead.

Yet, based upon what has happened during the last five years, only a fool would do that.

So, I guess what that means is, according to Rumsfeld, only fools can be patriots.

I think "good 'ole Rummy" finally crossed the line. The line where only those truly dilusional folks can stand with him anymore. Only those "true believers" will swallow this phoney-baloney bullshit without gagging on it. Only those who have a direct, financial interest in perpetuating this corrupt administration will buy wholesale bullshit anymore.

At least, that's my hope.
