Everyone's favorite rage filled commentator, Laura Ingraham, today has put up a link to MSNBC's website, as well as phone numbers of who should be called, to call for the firing of Keith Olbermann for his special comment last night. If it wasn't already enough that weirdos like David Horowitz pay students money to tape record what professors say and try to get them fired, Ingraham has upped the ante by calling for Olbermann's firing for, well, free speech and a free press! HUH!?

Two comments Ingraham made today. "The management over there needs to have a talk with him." "This is free speech at its best."

Here is the link to the nasty, un-American commentary that Olbermann made. Should we see to it that this commie is tried and courts and deported for treason? The comment is on the front page, "Bush Interview Unforgiveable."

The worst of it is that Olbermann's fundamental point, which is usually his fundamental point with these special comments, is how Bush has done nothing to divide our country and pit us all against one another.

To continue to say that voting in democrats will lead to terrorist attacks is irresponsible as the leader of our country.

I must, however, assume that you felt Obama was entirely out of line for his attempt at restricting the freedom of Don Imus to make racial comments, right? You are keeping a list on the liberal side of the coin, are you not? And while you're at please include all the liberal "shout down's" of conservative speakers in the public forum. Oh, that's right, they don't count because they think like YOU do.

Maybe its just me, but I don't feel very comfortable when those who wants to be our leaders say the same things those who tried to kill us are saying.

How so? I'm a member of the ACLU and if we hear of this we'll take up the case. How are they doing this?

I should also mention their resistance to fully compensate landowners after telling them how they can and cant utilize their own land.

Who is "they?" The government, who hasn't been fully compensating people for land since long before Gingrich brought in the current wave of political division and partisanship? Is "they" GW Bush, who wanted to increase imminent domain during the early days of his "presidency?" Who is "they?"

And their love for regulation of political speech during campaigns.
