What a Clown


Glenn Beck the conservative nobody on CNN said in a recent show that Keith Olbermann comes off as arrogant because he has guests who always agree with him. But wait, isn’t that the same Glenn Beck who asked a recently elected Keith Ellison from MN to prove to him that he wasn’t working with the enemy, all because Mr. Ellison is a Muslim and a Democrat. I guess Mr. Beck would not call that arrogance, but concerned patriotism. It is not arrogant to speak for the entire country with words of bigotry.
You see Mr. Beck,IMHO the reason Olbermmann’s guests seem to agree with him is not so he looks good. His show is not a debate show. He is not trying to be better than his guests. Keith Olbermann is proving a point. He exposses the powerful, he informs. He does not attempt to speak for America, he speaks to America. He does not demand anyone show loyalty to anyone or anything he shows who is not loyal to country. He tells the truth, not that you would know anything about that. In doing so Keith Olbermann has exposed himself to the poison from the right, to mail of fake Anthrax. He puts the truth ahead of himself, unlike certain right wingers who are loyal to party instead of flag.
