Olbermann: If The Tea Party Wins, America Loses (VIDEO)

Perhaps using a reverse echo of MSNBC's new slogan ("Lean Forward"), Keith Olbermann launched into the tea party on Wednesday night during a special comment that included a bumper-sticker-ready catch phrase: "Vote Backward, Vote Tea Party."

The "Countdown" host railed against the movement, ( Read more... )

That popping sound was my brain exploding.

Maybe it's just that it's cold in my house, but I've got goosebumps after watching that. I wish we had an Olbermann here in Canada. We've got Rick Mercer, and he's very well-spoken too, but he's not as firey as Keith.

I don't blame you. The quotes he lines up are downright frightening. Between the "not Jefferson, HITLER!!" thing and all the people who want to ditch one amendment or another, yikes.

"Second Amendment remedies..."

Ask your friends why they are Nazis!

I can't think of anything more horrifying than the Tea Party gaining any power in the US. Even as a non UStani.

What happens to them affects all of us :( I feel like the anti-intellectualism that was touted by some of the right-wing during the last US election has seeped into Canadian consciousness. *robfordkoffkoff*

A few of those quotes actually made me CRY.

I just... I don't understand this ignorance and hate and idiocy. Children would have a better time running countries. At least they tend to react appropriately.
