Shit if Olbermann ran for president I would vote for him in a second, and I'm a conservavtive. So fu*k off trolls. The only thing you know how to do is lick the furors boots, and watch my bill of rights get taken away.

Olbermann also received an Edward R. Murrow Award for his coverage of the events of 9/11. So there you have it. FACTS. Olbermann DID win a Murrow Award. Now where is that Peabody Award O'Reilly is always saying he won? As for Geraldo, he needs to go looking for his lost credibility. I think he left it in Al Capone's vault.

If someone has already posted the article about Geraldo in Iraq then read past. If not this is from Stars and Stripes: <blockquote>Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera was reportedly booted out of Iraq after diagramming on air the intended plans of the U.S. military unit with which he was traveling. The Rivera situation, however, grew murkier as the day progressed, with two Pentagon officials initially saying he would be asked to leave Iraq and the 101st Airborne Division unit south of Baghdad, but Fox News replying that as far as the cable-news provider knew, Rivera had not been asked to leave. Ever the blusterer, Rivera came on Fox News Channel live from Iraq to blame "the rats at my former network NBC … spreading some lies about me" and declare his intention to "march into Baghdad" with the unit. Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman had told Reuters that Rivera was being asked to leave because the commander in his area felt the reporter had "compromised operational security," a violation of Pentagon guidelines for reporters traveling with U.S. forces in Iraq. Whatever happens with Rivera, Monday counts as a bad day for war reporting, experts said, because the public tends to draw its lessons about journalists from its highest-profile practitioners.</blockquote> All these paid trolls coming into this blog…everyone needs to ignore them.

Has Olbermann ever said he hates the USA or our troops? And before you keep on insisting that the Dems hate the troops, I would advise you to look at the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) website for its rankings of how people in the last (109th) Congress voted on various bills affecting veterans--people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan recently. (Google it, because the last three times I tried to post this website, it seemed to have gotten caught in a spam filter and didn't get here.) All the people receiving A's and A-'s were Democrats. Your precious "patriotic" Republicans such as Dennis Hastert, Rick Santorum, Bill Frist, Elizabeth Dole, George Macaca Allen, Jeff Sessions, and even veterans like John Warner and John McCain all received F's or D's. Among other things, the Repugs voted against slightly more $ for research into tramautic brain injuries. In other words, they don't give a fig if American military personnel nearly get their brains blown out. Look it up, Mr. Patriot, before you make any more "itiot" (your spelling) assertions.
