edit: Also, it seemed like people in the crowd were chanting "USA". Makes me want to move to Canada.
God bless John McCain, for using fear to win an election!
And SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BUY IT.
It sickens me that so many people are such mindless puppets that they can be so easily maneuvered using such BLATENT bullshit as this, I mean, completely and utterly avoiding REAL issues, and pretending that everyone will be enslaved or killed if you don't vote for McCain, well, that's a big f*cking load of *lies right there.
Disgusting.
Really... disgusting.
Also, it seemed like people in the crowd were chanting "USA". Makes me want to move to Canada.
I've been hearing a lot of that lately.
It's never a good sign when people want to leave a place.
Then remembering all the quick knee-jerk responses to this of how utterly stupid Bush is and he made a mistake (yet Bush never changed his story.. in fact he told the same exact story again to another interview).
When I see that footage I see bush's shortcomings as a leader. Failure to act on the intelligence that stated some one some where was going to attack.

Smokinggun.com also has the memo that says attack imminent.
It no longer bothers me to see the footage of 911, because I know that it could have been stopped by proactive actions, but was not.
They let it happen, simple and clean. And we still do not know exactly who did it, all we have is to take the word of the administration that failed us.
When I saw this last night I was both amused and sickened they would stoop this low. It just goes to show how desperate they really are to win this election. Even the CNN announcers were upset they pulled this shit.
Hurray for the war on an abstract concept!

The video was sickening.
Every person in the world can wave flags and cheer on their own nations. Just don't do it in America.
Please don't leave. I will miss you.
Kind of like his anger and rage come out of a microwave.
*edit (not to say that his twisted twin O'Reilly is any better)

You can basically replace the word 'Voltron' with 'McCain' ... same superhero, fear-sploitation idea.
Was anyone else reminded of the movie Idiocracy while watching that? The simplified language horrified me - it wasn't all that far off from "bad people hurt us. Make us sad.
"America's security is at stake,"
I know that whoever says it is trying to force me, through fear, to believe whatever they say.
This is wrong. This is all wrong.
Interesting article that mentions this clip: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/business/media/08msnbc.html?_r=2&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin
That's a shame, but yeah, the convention coverage team on MSNBC, particularly during the DNC convention, was shamefully unprofessional.
This moment with Olbermann, though, was perfectly in-line, and it's kinda shameful the author lumped this and those other moments together.
Hitler would be proud
I think Joseph Goebbels, the masterful propaganda minister, and Hermann Goering, Hilter's designated successor, would be proud also.
“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.”
- Joseph Goebbels
“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship…Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.”
- Hermann Goering
