I know for some Keith Olbermann represents the extreme far left liberal nutcase; the other side of Rush Limbaugh. Even tho I disagree, I respect everyones right to their opinion. The difference to me is as opposed to Rush, or Glenn, or Sarah, Keith at least speaks from below the surface, the talking points and factless catchphrases and conspiracy theories. He also, whether you like him or not is authentic to what he happens to passionately believe. Sure sometimes he goes overboard.. Shit we all do.. But in this segment he articulates extremely well the undertones of racism left in our country. Politics and personal emotional issues aside its hard not to not see the truth in what he says. Unfortunately some on the right will simply dismiss and become defensive.. but give it a shot.. look behind the "Socialist Pig" signs amongst the sea of white people. See the fear in their eyes. Look and listen close enough for the actual context. A black friend of mine hit me last night telling me he had just watched this and it moved him.. and asked me to check it out. Take the 10 minutes.. If you disagree, thats ok.. (maybe take the time to notice whether its your heart or thought induced emotions reacting..) at least listen... its the only way we will get anywhere..
