THE ATTA BOYS

I thank god and Mrs. Olbermann for Keith's courage to speak the truth about the horror happening to our Constitution and about the Traitor in Chief at the White House. We owe you a great debt. Paula | | Email | 11.01.06 - 8:59 pm | #

You give us Hope,as we all felt so helpless to the lies all around us. I was a child and heard the "fireside chats" by FDR. (I remeber my stern Dad making us be quiet!) My parents were normal republicans..libral by todays republican standards. I also heard on the radio Edward R. Marrow,and finally the public agreed the McCarty was a fright peddler for his own glory. Thank you from all Americans who face the truth and are filled with'hope'. wisedup | | Email | 11.01.06 - 8:51 pm | #

Thanks, Keith.  Keep 'em coming! ifthethunderdontgetya | | Email | Homepage | 11.01.06 - 1:42 pm | #

The first Special Comment I saw (World Trade Center site), I nearly wept. Not because of the tragedy of 9/11 for which time has helped strengthen me against the pain and turn me to resolution to do the right thing... no. I nearly wept because I saw someone speaking directly, honestly, intelligently, and dissentingly against the Bush adinistration -- ON THE TELEVISION! Sure Stewart will report the ridiculous and show the lies. But to hear someone speak as the voice of so many educated millions who don't understand what has happened to our country, and what has happened to our voice in the world... that's something I haven't experienced in many years. Thank you so much, Keith. Luke | | Email | 11.01.06 - 2:09 am | #

Thanks once again Keith for reporting the truth about John Kerry's comment! It is an outrage that Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, Chris Matthews and the rest of the mainstream media once again are lying about what Kerry said and trying to make it into an issue before the elections. From now on I know I will be watching only your program to get the news, and I know my friends and family feel the same way! The rest of the mainstream media seem to be just a mouthpiece for the Bush Administration and their lies. Thank goodness for Keith Olbermann and Countdown!!! Louise | | Email | 11.01.06 - 1:56 am | #

You are the best!! Keep it up my friend! johnsnakecusak | | Email | 10.31.06 - 10:15 pm | #

Keith,  I am very impressed with your courage and passionate yet restrained outrage at what these bungling corrupt crooks have done to our country and our honor.  Keep speaking up!  P.S. O'Rielly is a baffoon!  Jonathan Jonathan | | Email | 10.31.06 - 9:52 pm | #

I'm a Korean war veteran who fought for this country when the red menace was threatening us. So I applaud Keith who's now fighting the red states from taking over this beautiful country of ours. Lloyd Bonafide | | 10.30.06 - 12:13 pm | #

Americans deserve more smart voices like that of Keith Olbermann. Unfortunately, too many media outlets offer us mealy-mouthpieces for Bush. Journalism failed America by ignoring (for far too long) the stunningly obvious arrogance. ignorance, and incompetence of this administration.  Keith & company are a welcome contrast. Keep up the good work. J.K. Frazier | | Email | 10.29.06 - 6:18 pm | #

Thank you, Keith Olbermann. At least there is something I can watch on cable tv "news". If it weren't for you, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, I'd have to double up on my antidepressants. Ellen Rozsa | | Email | 10.29.06 - 9:27 am | #

While I really enjoy watching Keith's special comments, they're even better when they're read. As the written word, they are just so powerful. Thank you Keith! tylenol | | Email | 10.28.06 - 11:04 am | #

Thank you for yourarticulate, well reasoned special comments. I look forward to your continued success. It is heartening to have at least one bright, brave and honest commentator. Perhaps your success will encourage others to step up and speak out.   Bravo and Thank you Mr. Olberman Carol Egbert | | Email | 10.28.06 - 7:03 am | #

Thank you, Mr. Olbermann, for showing this Administration's true colors. As well as that inauspicious horde at Fox News.  May courage stay with you. ang zizzo | | Email | 10.28.06 - 2:42 am | #

I look forward to watching your show nightly. There is no one in the MSM who has both the courage and the platform and uses it as skillfully and boldly as you do to speak up.  Thank you greatly. james walker | | Email | 10.28.06 - 12:54 am | #

Incisive thinking, powerful and clear expression, fearless indictment of the powers that be. This is what is required to save our freedom and the very idea of America. Keep it up! Kathleen | | 10.27.06 - 4:25 pm | #

Keith Olbermann is both the most courageous and accurate TV anchor on the air. I can't believe the Bushies haven't taken you out. P. Payne | | Email | 10.27.06 - 2:22 pm | #

MSNBC, ARE YOU LISTENING?? There are only three (3) newspeople I will watch: Stewart, Colbert, and Olbermann. OK, the first two are fake news comedians, but Keith is the real deal: a news journalist. Thanks Keith, you rock my world (I do love an intelligent man...purrrr!)   Death to the Fascist Pigs! LizMcC | | Email | 10.27.06 - 11:47 am | #

Even if impeachment never happens Bush will one day reap for what he has sewn. With luck it will be images of Keith looking directly into his eyes speaking the truth to him over and over and over until the drink helps him pass out once again. America owes you one Keith! Michael Finn | | Email | 10.27.06 - 11:24 am | #

Kieth, yours is a badly needed voice in this day and age. Keep on keepin' on! Fred Goldstein | | 10.27.06 - 10:27 am | #

I used to refuse to watch the news, instead reading my daily news online. Recently though, I have started watching KO and it's so refreshing to hear someone in the MSM speak articulately, truthfully and inspirationally about serious issues the US is facing. Anna | | 10.27.06 - 8:32 am | #

FINALLY! Five years after 9-11, someone with power (i.e., access to mainstream media) is speaking up about the blind patriotism that has been spoon fed to us for so long. Olbermann's rants about the politics of fear, the incompetancy/outright lying of our President and his cabinet, etc., are right on! Not only is he intelligent and inspirational, he's entertaining too.   The only thing I don't like on Countdown is the nightly segment on gossip issues. I could care less about Brittney & K-Fed. I realize his producers "force" him to cover these topics, but every night?!? I can see how critics would see this segment as undermining his overall credibility.   Still, keep up what you're doing Keith, so more people in this country will wake up from this massive "God-is-an-American" stupor! Anonymous | | 10.27.06 - 12:18 am | #

Keith, keep up the good work. Also, watch your back and be sure your CPA keeps you audit-proof. Kurt | | 10.26.06 - 5:51 pm | #

Mr. Olberman has been and continues to be a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stifling environment. Even as a sportscaster at ESPN he ways always on topic and erudite. Thank you,Mr. Olberman. Bruce K. Davis | | Email | 10.26.06 - 3:46 pm | #

Keith, you rock as always. You are DA MAN.  So, stay the course, Keith. (Sorry. [g]) bimplebean | | Email | Homepage | 10.26.06 - 2:28 pm | #

Mr. Olbermann is the only "news person" on TV (I cannot in good conscience list Stewart and Colbert as journalists, but do admit that I learn more from them than most people apopearing on TV) who dares to say the emperor has no clothes.  Bill Moyers or Lou Dobbs would be the closest second. But Olbermann has made commentaries that haven't seen the likes of day on NBC in 30 years.  And I also appreciate his nightly Countdown since "Mission Accomplished" as well as the nod to Murrow.  Good night, and good luck.  Thank you, Keith. Citizen John | | Email | 10.29.06 - 9:03 pm | #

Mr. Olbermann,  I am grateful for your courage and bravery in pointing out that we hae the worst president ever, and the potential danger we're facing.  You're a strong voice in an otherwise spineless media that is too busy kissing up to the fascists that run our government today to tell the truth.  It's going to be a real hoot watching Rupert Murdoch try to flip-flop Fox News (a.k.a. The Ministry of Propaganda) and keep it alive. He'll have to begin kissing the butts of all the people he trashed before. Anonymous | | 10.27.06 - 7:03 pm | #

Mr. Olbermann:  Thank you for serving your country, and all of us, this way. We cannot let the thugs win. It will take years to undo the damage they've inflicted around the world, but leadership comes from all corners--including thinking journalists.

Thank you for your service, sir. You are a true patriot. This country owes you a debt of gratitude. Let the history books show that in our darkest, saddest and most shameful hour, one journalist had the courage to stand head and shoulders above the rest, and to speak the truth. Andrew Weiner | | Email | 10.26.06 - 3:21 pm | #

Thank you, Keith. Your Special Comments the last few weeks have been blasts of the much-needed cold, fresh air of rationality and truth-telling; I've been emailing transcripts and video links to everyone I know. When it comes to which 9 pm show to watch, you get the nod (even "Lost" gets relegated to the videotape). Keep up with the Good Fight! mam | | Email | 10.26.06 - 12:07 pm | #

I am amazed that you can always top your last show. MSNBC should rebroadcast your show 3 or 4 times a day, and should slide your slot to 7 or 9PM eastern. That way I won't have to Tivo "Countdown" or the "Daily Show" every night. May your show and Justice Stevens live forever! Art | | Email | 10.26.06 - 11:26 am | #

Why won't people speak up about what they are thinking? is a question that has bothered me over the last few years. I knew there where many who agreed with me but felt shushed. Suddenly more are speaking out, and that's the first step to change. Keith, I think you are a big factor in this emboldenment of the voices of honorable dissent. Thank you Keith! Mary | | Email | 10.25.06 - 6:35 pm | #

Thank you, Keith. You are an inspiration. I am old enough to remember Edward R. Murrow, who was a hero in our house. I notice you end with his signature sign-off, and I think it is entirely fitting that you pick up his gauntlet. You are completely worthy to do so, and I can't think of anyone else who is. We are praying for the continuation of your courageous, and brilliant voice. Thank you. Linda | | Email | 10.25.06 - 6:06 pm | #

Keith, I didn't know newscasters like you existed! I have randomly watched Countdown over the years, but it wasn't until that August 30th commentary slamming Rumsfeld and this administration's trying to define the "new fascism," when you took the gloves permanenly off and put the cross-hairs on this administation and all its hypocrisies, that I found my hero! May you continue to be a beacon in a media that's drowning in its own lickspittle. ATTA BOY!!!! Susan Lowrance | | Email | 10.25.06 - 6:02 pm | #

Atta boy Keith! It is difficult to describe the amazement and relief I felt on my first experience listening to one of "your special comments". I was amazed to hear commentary such as yours on the mainstream media (who knows how long that can last), and I felt such a sense of relief that at last, some one in the media had the courage to speak the truth plainly and articulately. You are performing a tremendously valuableservice to your country, in the tradition of E.R. Murrow; Thank you, sir. Kevin Macdonald | | Email | 10.25.06 - 4:00 pm | #

What's been missing over the past five years have been people who gave voice, and took some risk, to open their mouths and tell the truth -- directly, elequently, forcefully; consistently... and not only in a five-second sound bite, or an arch but careful comment from Mike Wallace.   There was no one. We all knew how bad and how disassociated from reality much of the country had become. How teflon these creatures who are destroying our country seemed; nothing seemed to touch them. And the MSM went right along -- never asking questions. Promoting their fog of illusions. Even with the murderous disaster of Katrina, the anger and righteous criticisim of this hideously disconnected and incompetent gang didn't last more than a few news cycles...  Then, in the most unlikeliest of places, that same MSM -- Keith Olbermann spoke up in a crystal clear voice and delivered unvarnished analyses of The American Tragedy we are still living through.   (The fact that he had been doing so on MSNBC since the Peevish Dullard was appointed president, questioning the farce of the Florida vote counting, then 2004 in Ohio, may not even have been known by all that many in this country -- so Olbermann is hardly jumping on someone else's bandwagon. Among too many self-important network commentators without courage or integrity, he's an original.)  More important than anything else, Kieth Olbermann's commentary gives others an example, and the courage to speak up. And that is the best antidote to a sense of isolation, and the myth of the invincibility of this pack of criminals.   Olbermann keeps telling America that the Hand-Puppet in the White House has no clothes. Now, people can see it -- and every time Keith speaks, more can see it.  NBC: There isn't a price that can be put on the level of integrity Kieth Olbermann has demonstrated. You can't buy the Truth. Telling the Truth isn't a marketing strategy. It's a public obligation for what once claimed to be an independent media.  Keith, keep talking. More and more people are listening. Jemand von Niemand | | Email | 10.24.06 - 8:25 pm | #

Countdown is the only TV show I watch. It's a "date."

If I have to miss the early show I try to see the midnight repeat.  I do wish that MSNBC would get their transcripts up in a more timely manner.

I've been watching all your programs since the first go-round with MSNBC, hoping you would root somewhere.  Though I've long been witness to and admired your skill and respect for the word, especially during the Sep. 11 radio reports  you have been outstanding in these recent months.  There was a time when we had more voices on the networks who provided a serious commentary on the issues of the day.  It seems now we have regressed to the early days of radio and the so-called political pundits are the new incarnations of  Aimee McPherson and Billy Sunday profiting from this madness.  How is that there are no others on the air with the exception of Jack Cafferty and perhaps Lou Dobbs who are not alarmed? How is it that we as a people are not?  The so-called "tipping point," frequently expected but long in coming has become our version of the Rapture.  Should we recover from all this mess, I certainly won't forget your words, but I wish there had been many more who had spoken up as you have and that they had spoken up earlier.  "Keep your eyes on the prize, and hold on."  Thank you very much. Taj | | 10.19.06 - 2:13 pm | #

Bravo Mr. Olbermann, It takes a man of courage such as yourself to stand up and tell about what is really happening in our country.  We are being led to the slaughter just like sheep by a power hungry administration and in front of the pack is a cruel, uncaring man leading us into hell.  We must all vote and take back the country we all love and the freedom we have enjoyed for so long and taken for granted! Lenice OConnell | | Email | 10.19.06 - 1:06 am | #

Thank you Keith. I can only say, with so many others, that your courage is one of my few sources of hope.  YOU ARE RIGHT!! Don't let anyone stand in your way...  When this is all over, I hope to shake your hand and thank you for standing firm against the tidal wave of oppression and the negation of everything America once stood for. Jason | | 10.19.06 - 1:05 am | #

This, I believe, was the best comment I've seen by Mr. Olbermann. He is coming into his own as a commentator, rising to the occasion this historical moment demands. At times I've felt Mr. Olbermann was channeling Edward Murrow, but not today. The blazing but tightly focused anger, a laser of abrading moral fire, is Olbermann's own persona coming through. He is fresher, more energetic than ever before, energized by the gravity of presidential abuses and the concurrent groundswell of popular opposition.   Compared to the lukewarm pabulum served up by most TV commentators, Olbermann's words are shocking in their vehemence and plain truth. Shocking, because I don't want to face what our country has become and my own powerlessness to halt this slide into repressive police state authoritarianism. I pray our nation is resilient enough to recover some day from this horrific vandalism of its Constitution and essential principles. Escubio | | 10.18.06 - 11:30 pm | #

Mr. Olbermann, Today, October 18th, 2006 will go down in history as the day the people began to take back this country. I salute you sir and pray for your safety and continued employment. You are saying what our 'leaders' in Congress should be saying. Thank you. I wish I could say more but words fail me. Will you run for President in 2008? I will work for you and I will vote for you. danno  We are entitled only to those rights we are willing to defend danno | | Email | 10.18.06 - 11:05 pm | #

Mr. Olbermann: I want to commend you. I try to watch your show each night and what I miss I try to follow on messageboards, the msnbc  page and youtube. Thank you for having the courage to express your special comment tonight on the signing of the MCA. Nothing has scared me recently like the signing of this legislation. No matter how it's spun, we have essentially said as a country that we, and only we, can define what torture is. And if that wasn't enough, if that wasn't enough for us to have lost what  little moral high ground we still had in the world, we go so far as to also allow our President to determine whether someone should have the most basic rights of justice that our country was based upon. No President, democrat or  republican, should have that power.   Your comments tonight regarding those Americans who have been imprisoned in our country under previous administrations when their rights were suspended hit home for me. Here in North Dakota, we have a very large German ancestry.  Many Germans came to the US and settled in ND in the late 1800s. Some came later and as a result, were imprisoned in a camp in ND during WWII. These were  German Americans who had come here to make a better life only to be treated like the country they had escaped from. One such prisoner was a great uncle of mine.   Thank you for having the strength and courage to keep speaking out, to keep fact checking what we are being told by our leaders, and to keep pushing for us to not roll over and live in the fear that our leaders are telling us we should be in. Thank you, Mr. Olbermann. Keep doing what you're doing. KeepAskingWhy | | 10.18.06 - 10:46 pm | #

In a time where I feel powerless, Keith, you give me a feeling that there is power to be had. I watch your news and then share it with my 1st and 2nd generation immigrant high school students the next day in class. One of them said today: "Doesn't that make the President a dictator?" How right he was! I thank you for helping me help them understand what this all means for them. Nikki | | Email | 10.18.06 - 10:31 pm | #

I also stopped watching the Koolaid Kable 5 years ago during Phase 1 of the fascist coup. But now it is safe to watch at least Keith Olberman, one of the FEW who speaks the truth to this utterly embarrassing, disastrous, unelected criminal regime. Keith, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please now turn to exposing the utter fraud of the 9/11 myth. 9/11 was a state sponsored false flag 'Reichtstag' event and the truth MUST be told to our people before we are marched into WWIII. Please read Fromthewilderness.com and Crossing the Rubicon for the best researched information on the pre-planned, pre-arranged stand down of American Air Defenses by Cheney so the bloodthirsty, America hating criminal regime could demolish the white elephant WTC buildings, and start the war to control the planet and all its oil. Please cover that next --- before the election. Only 16% of Americans actually believe the official myth. Then PLEASE help us save the 2006 elections!!! There is a massive trainwreck coming. Please direct people to www.velvetrevolution.us so we can unite in a massive citizen based REPO of our democracy, not by just voting, but by actually taking back the vote COUNTING --- which is an absolute necessity before we can remove and imprison these traitors.   THANK YOU!!!!!! Ginny Ross | | Email | Homepage | 10.18.06 - 9:59 pm | #

Dear Mr. Olbermann, Indeed, thank you for your words. You speak for citizens of this country by standing up to this totalitarian regime. It’s a damn shame to congratulate you on what should be self-evident truth, but this is 2006 after all and very few have the temerity to tell it like it is (publicly). You are not alone nor are your observations unique. Again, thank you. Big C | | 10.18.06 - 9:45 pm | #

Sweet feathery Jesus! Olbermann is hot! I've seen him referenced all over the place this weekend, although some seem to think he's weak at checking facts. Apparently a write from Cornell, his alma mater, wrote a favorable piece on him. But those nuts from Fox News destroyed him with their insensitive and mis-timed comments. I say long live Keith! He's the best GD commentator to come along in over a decade. Keith will be proven right when the left regains control of Congress. Andprops to you, CO Bob, for your foresight in pointing out how awesome Olby is. I don't give a good sweet Jesus how many Fox nuts bash him - he's a man of the people.

Yeah, 'cause the right-wing talking heads are just so darn open to debate on their shows.  This is a TRIBUTE page, not an open debate page. Like the man says, you wanna dissent? Start your own damn page.  And thanks, Keith, for helping to keep me sane and restoring some of my lost faith in American journalism. Robert | | Email | 10.08.06 - 1:56 pm | #

Keith, you are the catalyst for keeping my hopes up for this country. I read and hear your commentary and I proudly proclaim I'm a Democrat! Keep it up. You are educating America in a way that no political rhetoric can do. Voters must ultimately "get it". You have my profound thanks. Viv | | Email | 10.07.06 - 11:10 am | #

Thank goodness for Keith.   He loves this country and can see through those who don't live up to its ideals. His patriotism is obvious and his honesty is unrelenting.   TRUE journalism.  Cheers, Mr. Olbermann. Erica | | 10.07.06 - 1:01 am | #

Keith Olbermann has, in my view, surpassed Jon Stewart as the most potent and valuable voice on television. Stewart still has an obligation to joke about the situation, but Olbermann can just say what so many of us are thinking, with his "special comments", and say them with the urgency and the strength they deserve.   He's a lone voice of sanity in a sea of misdirection and propaganda.   Thank you, Keith Olbermann.  Jeff Jeff Coleman | | Email | Homepage | 10.06.06 - 11:21 pm | #

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Olbermann. For the first time in years I felt - finally - someone willing to stand up and defend our country from those in office who are governing by fear and with total incompetence and blatant lies. The most horrible and sadest result is the thousands of lives lost and maimed due to their malfeasance. The shame this country should have for allowing this to happen is incomprehensible. Please keep up the good work. There are few of you around. Thank you. diane Diane | | Email | 10.06.06 - 11:00 pm | #

Thank you Mr. Olberman! I had given up on getting news from the mainstream media until I discoverd your program on MSNBC. Thank you for telling the truth. Your program last night, 10/5/06, brought tears to my eyes. I've been in a seriously depressed mood about what has been happening to our county and world at the hands of Bush and his administration. I'm starting to feel a little flicker of hope. Thank you again and please keep up your couragous work. Stephanie Harlow | | Email | 10.06.06 - 3:34 pm | #

Keith, I can't say thank you enough! Why is the truth getting to be so rare? I am so sick and tired of the lame coverage we are subject to. If not for the internet, we wouldn't know anything at all. Then, there's you. A breath of fresh air. A feeling that thinking, reasoning proud citizens still exist and that we are not alone in our dissent. No mention at all on TV about over 200 protests yesterday. Hmmmmm...  Truth to Power Where's My Mangoes? | | 10.06.06 - 1:42 pm | #

Dear Mr. Olbermann,  Your courage is astounding -- and humbling. Please keep the "Special Comments" coming. You are doing a service to the nation.   We are saving copies of your work for our grandchildren to read when these dark times have passed and they want to know how our beloved country was led so far astray, and how she regained her senses -- and her ethics.  Bravo!!!   ...and be careful out there. JMGD | | Email | 10.06.06 - 5:36 am | #

Dear Keith,  For too long most members of the MSM have limited their criticism of George Bush to statements such as "He misled us into a war with Iraq". This politeness has always bothered me because, in the first place, Webster's New World Dictionary defines mislead as 1. to lead in a wrong direction, 2. to deceive or delude, and 3. to lead into wrongdoing. In the second place, George Bush is not a leader, I was not deceived, and I have never followed him.  George Bush did not mislead us, he LIED to us. He has LIED to us over and over and over again. Thank you so much for being one of the few to loudly and clearly speak the truth. If it wasn't for Countdown, I wouldn't watch any television news. Bravo! Michael | | Email | 10.06.06 - 2:45 am | #

My mother celebrated her 80th birthday this past Monday.   She had to scrape enough money together to hand sew a dress so that she wouldn't look "poor" when her class went to see "Gone With the Wind" in 1939 (she was 13). She drove a laundry truck, bussed heavy automat trays and stuffed dill in pickle jars on an assembly line during WWII, while taking stenography classes (she didn't have the luxury of wealth for college). Lived through the spectre of McCarthyism, the fear of the Bay of Pigs (but not so scared that she didn't start her family at the age of 36). Witnessed the horrors of Vietnam. Put plastic on windows and closed off some of the rooms in our home during the energy crunch. Managed to put three girls through college and pay for it.   She votes every election, and yes, she is a Roosevelt Democrat.  She called me after Keith's special comment tonight.   "I've never seen a journalist speak such truth in such a manner. It scared me to death for him, but made me so proud. It makes me want to thank him and give him a hug." Kentucky Woman | | Email | 10.05.06 - 8:50 pm | #
