What about his ideas do you think makes him a liberal?

The fact that he spends HALF is show ripping Bush EVERYDAY kinda raises a few red flags for me on his agenda. Sure he can raise questions on Bush's policys, thats fine and totally fair. But when its obvious he hates W with a passion how can one call him fair? He constantly gets in cheap shots and stupid little jokes. He's not a serious news reporter anyway, he's no different than watching John Stewart on the Daily show in my opionion. My favorite was after W's State of the Union spech when there was a sharp increase in W's poll numbers. Olberman spends maybe 5 seconds on that and proceeds to say the polls are meaningless because more Repubs watched his speach than Dems so they dont count. But everytime W's polls drop...Its the top strory! Nah, but no bias! have you EVER heard him praise W? For anything? i think not.... Its always negative.

You still haven't answered how that makes him a "liberal".

Perhaps he believes in an honest, competent and transparent government that respects the US Consititution. If that was his agenda it would certainly justify some of his behavior.

I dont know if he himself is a liberal. But he certainly reports the news from an anti Bush left wing perspective. I dont see any difference in the way Olberman reports on the issues than how Nebe does....they sound very alike...

So anti-bush = left wing?

That's just absurd. I didn't think you had any idea what you were talking about.

So Olberman is not Left wing is what your saying? Look its one thing to disagree with W on issues but its another thing to slander the man and go out of ones way to rip him apart like Olberman does. How you cant see his clear bias is beyond me....

Slander is a legal word Skippy, are now accusing KO of lying about Bush?

If someone was to ask you to describe a liberal, what would you say?

Heres one persons thoughts on that question.

By: Michael Bauman,
Ever since Michael Dukakis suffered a terrible drubbing at the polls for flashing his ACLU card in public and for identifying himself as a liberal without embarrassment, the dreaded “L” word has fallen into wide disfavor, even disrepute. Some liberal politicians, like Bill Clinton, don’t like to use it all. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to know who’s a liberal and who is not.

You might be a liberal if . . .

You think that consenting adults can engage freely in every activity except capitalism.

You named your children Moonglow and Arizona.

You think the really alarming violence takes place outside the abortion clinic.

You’ve ever referred to the “root cause” of something.

You pray to “The Woman Upstairs.”

You think we never gave peace a chance.

You had to be told that “Manhattan,” “menopause” and “boycott” were not sexist words

You begin sentences with the words “I feel.”

Your driver’s license has a hyphen because for you one last name just isn’t enough.

You don’t think “All in the Family” is a very funny program, but watch it anyway because Meathead makes a lot of sense.

You think OJ is out looking for the real killers.

You think Keth Olbermann is an astute social commentator.

You think it takes a village.

You think that the words “to promote the general welfare” in the Constitution mean to promote welfare generally.

You think that, even though more people voted against him than for him in both the 1992 and the 1996 presidential elections, Bill Clinton had a mandate.

You think that conservatives, like preservatives, ought to be federally regulated.

You ever wore earth shoes.

You have ever wondered out loud, “Why can’t we all just get along?”

You think the New York Times prints all the news that’s fit.

You think that Rush Limbaugh is just an entertainer.

You spent Columbus Day reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

You reach the limits of your talent and then complain that you ran into a glass ceiling.

You wear more ribbons on your lapel than in your hair.

You think that the really dangerous McCarthy was Joe, not Eugene.

You blame the Unabomber’s parents.

You fail to see the connection between Lenin and Lennon.

You have ever agreed with Martin Sheen or Barbra Streisand.

Actually Spence is correct. I'm about as conservative as you can get on most issues and I have had it with him. He has let all facets of his supporters down. Funny thing is I don't think it was intentional. I believe he is an honest guy tyring to please everyone but delegating too much power to his advisors. However, that is the problem, you can't please everyone.

As I said before, Bush has basically ceeded all his power to those whom he foolishly trusts. Bush isn't evil, he's just not smart enough to be running the country.

Which is pretty obvious...but remember...he was chosen by GOP insiders for expressly this reason!

The anti-christ and his followers are still drinking the kool-aid for their admittance to failings will never be recognized by them.
