Liberal cable pit bull Keith Olbermann lost it last week, going over the top with his explosive criticisms against Republican Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown. “Daily Show” maestro Jon Stewart dished up a comic commentary that is spot-on and hilarious. On Friday’s “Countdown” Olbermann showed the segment and responded. Though he underplayed Stewart at first, giving props to Ben Affleck’s “Saturday Night Live” skit last year, by the end the cable host conceded: ” “You’re right, I have been a little over the top lately.”
If Keith can acnkowldege the inflammatory rhetoric and laugh at himself, we all can. Hey liberals, if you don’t have a sense of humor, you better cultivate one. We’re gonna need it.

Yeah, such a human thing to do (both the exaggeration and the good humor in apologizing).
Ever seen a republican do that? Nah, “conservative” is a one-way street.
Philip… Conservatism is not republican nor democrat. Let me know of the last policy that a conservative politician put forward they should apologize for…
There will always be people leaning left or middle that take things to an extreme. If you want to give people insurance… build a group and do it. If you want to feed people, create an organization that does it. If you want to force other people to use their money as you wish, go to another country.
This is America, founded on freedom and the ability to live our lives as we wish, not as you think we should.
I’ll name several:
torture
extraordinary rendition
massive deficits
tax cuts during wartime
starve the beast
lying to America to illegally invade a sovereign country
domestic espionage
disinformation campaign on health care reform
shall I go on?
He said, ‘conservative’, not the last republican. George Bush was not a fiscal conservative by a long shot. Obama has kept the same wartime policies and has advanced the deficit in his first 20 months will be equal to what Bush did in 8 years.
They are both responsible for driving this country bankrupt. Pull your partisan glasses off for a moment and realize that the spending by both parties is destroying this country. You know, there used to be such a thing as a ‘conservative’ Democrat as well, but now neither party can represent that distinction.
Maybe we should add all the criminal activities of the progressives:
voter fraud
using confidential FBI files to illegally gather information on political opponents
increasing taxes on the poor
releasing top secret information and there by endangering our military personnel
treason
forcing people from thier homes and property without just compensation and not for public use
tax evasion
massive deficits, yes even under Clinton the Nat debt increased 1.4 trillion
using the impoverished as political pawns to push communistic agendas
passing legislation that are obiviously unconstitutional and voilate civil rights
cutting defense budgets that allowed nearly 3 million people to be executed in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
curtailing the ability of our intelligence gathering agencies that allowed the 9/11 attacks to be completed undetected
the murders of 2 people at Ruby Ridge, one a woman who was shot while holding her child
the illegal removal of a minor from the private home of a relative using a fony warrant
campaign finance fraud
the death of over 40 million Americans since 1973 by saying murder is a woman’s right
Shall I go on?
