Keith Olbermann Delivers One Hell Of a Commentary on Rumsfeld

Thanks to Salon's War Room for the head's up, and to Crooks & Liars--an awesome website, spread the word--for carrying the clip.

And after you're done wiping tears from your eyes that there's at least one person on television that's not just another gutless wonder, send Keith a thank-you note, KOlbermann@msnbc.com


Crooks & Liars' summary:

Keith had some very choice words about Rumsfeld’s "fascism" comments tonight. Watch it, save it and share it.

Olbermann delivered this commentary with fire and passion while highlighting how Rumsfeld’s comments echoes other times in our world’s history when anyone who questioned the administration was coined as a traitor, unpatriotic, communist or any other colorful term. Luckily we pulled out of those times and we will pull out of these times.

Remember - Rumsfeld did not just call the Democrats out yesterday, he called out a majority of this country. This wasn’t only a partisan attack, but more so an attack against the majority of Americans.
