He starts by saying we should be mad about a debt deal that, if a weiner must be declared, it would be the left. So I found it hard to believe he's mad about this, until I read his twisted reasoning. He's so far left, he's actually circles the spectrum and is looking at everything from the back side, so everything looks reversed.
Olbermann on debt deal:
‘You’ve got to get mad!’

An outraged Keith Olbermann
Monday urged his viewers to
take to the streets to protest a
recent deal between
Republicans and Democrats to
raise the nation’s debt ceiling.
“We have, in this deal,
declared that we hold these
truths to be self-evident: that
all political incumbents are
created equal, that they are
endowed by their creator with
certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Re-
nomination, re-election, and
the pursuit of hypocrisy, ”
Olbermann explained.
“We have superceded
Congress to facilitate 750
billion dollars in domestic cuts
including Medicare in order to
end an artificially-induced
political hostage crisis over
debt, originating from the bills
run up by a Republican
president who funneled
billions of taxpayer dollars to
the military-industrial complex
by unfunded, unnecessary,
and unproductive wars,
enabled in doing so by the
very same Republican leaders
who now cry for balanced
budgets – and we have called
it compromise.”
“Where is the outrage to come
from?” he asked. “From you!”
“It will do no good to wait for
the politicians to suddenly
atone for their sins, they are
too busy trying to keep their
jobs to do their jobs. It will do
no good to wait for the media
to remember its origins as the
free press, the watchdog of
democracy envisioned by
Jefferson, they are too busy
trying to get exclusive details
about how exactly the bank
robbers emptied the public’ s
pockets to give a **** about
telling anybody what they
looked like or which way they
went. It will do no good to
wait for the apolitical public to
get a clue, they can’t hear the
clue over all the scandal and
chatter and diversion and
illusion.”
“The betrayal of what this
nation was supposed to be
about did not begin with this
deal and it surely will not end
with this deal,” Olbermann
continued. “There is a tide
pushing back the rights of
each of us and it has been
artificially induced by union
bashing and the sowing of
hatreds and fears and now
this evermore institutionalized
economic battering of the
average American. It will
continue and it will crush us
because those that created it
are organized, and unified,
and hell-bent. And the only
response is to be organized,
and unified and hell-bent in
return.”
“We must find again the
energy and the purpose of the
1960s and the 1970s, and we
must protest this deal and all
the god**** deals to come in
the streets. We must rise,
nonviolently, but insistently.
General strikes, boycotts,
protests, sit-ins , non-
cooperation, takeovers. But
modern versions of that
resistance, facilitated and
amplified by a weapon our
predecessors did not have: the
glory that is instantaneous
communication.”
“First you’ve got to get mad!”
he exclaimed. “I cannot say to
you meet here at this hour or
that one, and we’ll peacefully
break that back of government
that exist merely to get its
functionaries re-elected. But I
can say that the time is
coming for the window for us
to restore the control of our
government to ourselves will
close, and we had **** well
better act before then
because this deal is more than
a tipping point from where the
government goes from
defending the safety net to
gutting it. This is wrong!”

If you don't back Ron Paul, you suck as a human being. No exceptions.

Never mind the fact that Keith stands for everything that Ron Paul is against.Obama should take some lessons from him though on how to read a telepromter.
