https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34cynRWkPMsA vacationing Keith Olbermann took a breather from his breather to deliver a “Special Comment” on Shirley Sherrod, and, boy, this one is a classic. To his supporters, it is the wake-up call that the White House needed to get them to realize, in Olbermann’s words, that it is “a freaking war out here” against conservatives. His detractors won’t be able to tell the difference between this clip and the now-legendary Ben Affleck Countdown skit.
In the nearly ten-minute-long segment, Olbermann begins with an anecdote of treason from the 19th Century, then takes it to the Sherrod story, and spends several minutes ripping into Fox News’ “perpetual smear machine” and, especially, “the ? that is this assassin ‘Breitbart,’” the scare quotes dripping off his voice whenever he mentioned Andrew Breitbart.
Before the special comment, it was unclear whether Olbermann spend more time going after the NAACP for their errors, the White House for not doing their homework on the Sherrod tape before commenting, or Breitbart and Big Government for their role in the media mess. While he did go through why he believed the NAACP and the White House was wrong, Olbermann spent a great deal of time explicitly attacking Breitbart– the “Pornographer of Propaganda”– Fox News, and the greater right-wing media. “What you see on Fox News, what you read on right-wing websites is the complete ? of journalism,” he explained, and “a political guillotine.”
Then Olbermann turned to the Obama administration, but rather than taking the offensive on them, he seemed to be trying to shake the White House into action. “Mr. President, please, stop trying to act every minute like some neutral figure… it is a freaking war out here.”
He concluded with yet another apology to Sherrod– and a request that she take up a role in the White House, where he believes she “is needed.”
powerful ? talk by Keith...

shirley sherrod has a very bright future ahead of her. someone would be wise to put her in a cabinet position soon.

Olberman does go in pretty well, but will it make a difference? Shame on you for listening to any mainstream media outlet at this day and age.

You disagree with that statement. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find a politician to which that statement didn't apply. -

Could this be a diversion. On Thursday the same day that the Shirley Sherrod incident broke out the US renewed military ties with Indonesia. Indonesia is Obama's childhood home. Indonesia shares an island with a country called East Timor. East Timor is mostly populated with people that look half Black half Asian.
Indonesian occupation and East Timor Genocide
A brief civil war occurred in 1975. The UN Security Council had a unanimous vote for Indonesia to stop its invasion and to withdraw immediately from East Timor?s borders, and was blocked by the United States from imposing any economic sanctions or other means of enforcing this mandate.Indonesian rule in East Timor was often marked by extreme violence.Deaths during the occupation vary from 60,000 to 200,000.

Following a UN-sponsored agreement between Indonesia, Portugal and the United States and a surprise decision by the Indonesian President B. J. Habibie , a UN-supervised popular referendum was held on August 30, 1999, to choose between Special Autonomy within Indonesia and independence. 78.5% of voters chose independence, the Indonesian Military left.
