Who can blame him?  Nothing about 'inside job', nothing about 'we brought it on ourselves', nothing about 'we had it coming', nothing about 'Islamic extremism wouldn't exist if it weren't for the United States.'

And I guess those were 'imaginary' buildings falling down.  It's so strange how otherwise intelligent, rational people can focus their rage so fiercely... on the wrong target.

Yeah, they seem angrier with Bush than Al Qeada... its no wonder why a Biden/Obama whitehouse have vowed to bring Bush/Cheney/Rove to justice rather than Al Qeada.

While their overreaction is laughable, the video is rather exploitative.

Allegations of 'exploitation' are way to easy to make and so subjective as to be largely meaningless, SanCho.

I don't see anything whatsoever wrong with that video. It is a reminder of what Islamic Terrorists' objectives are, and a reminder that 9/11 wasn't an inside-job to allow a war in an oil-rich country. Insinuations that there was an inside-job are sick in every way and the people who instigate them are besmerching the memory of the victims.

Ha. Excuse me, Damnocrats (admit it, look at the language they use, it's mild), don't you realize that you are in the "Democrat Underground" because you've put your heads in the sand?

Damnocrats...  I think I like that.

They get Troopergate, Bridgegate, Planegate.  We get Damnocrats.  Fair deal.

It does bring up the thought "me thinks they doth protest too much".  It seems everything the repliblicans do has to have an alterior purpose, but of course nothing they do does.

They do protest too much,

That is SO true - just check Drudge today.

Hmmm... it looks like Olbermann suffered an on air nervous breakdown after the tribute

Apparently, the 'great pain' he refers to is being reminded of history.  History that is important and politically relevant.  Sometimes history sucks.  Is it 'exploitation' to show images of piles of Jewish bodies awaiting incineration?  Is 'exploitation' to show the film 'Blackhawk Down'?

Just because he knew some of the vicitims, he's the self-appointed Vicar of Appropriateness.  Jesus, Keith, get a grip.

I thought the video was very appropriate given the choice we are about to make for president.

Depends on how you show it I guess.  Personally I wasnt upset by it.  It is apart of history but I do think you have to be careful that you dont politicize(spelling) 9/11 or other events like it.  I think they walked a fine line there but I would say they were ok.  Olberman I think is just emotional about it and probably overreacted.  Many people still seek mental help for this situation.  And I am talking of regular people who werent even in one of these places.  But yes Keith overreacted.

Olberman is a nervous breakdown!  What a buffoon!  He would make a very good spokesman for the democrat party - if he had an honest bone in his body.
