Olberman on MSNBC Video: Bush Is Selling Out America

Olbermann video: Bush would sell America
out to preserve GOP power

Raw Story | October 6 2006

Keith Olbermann delivered a 'Special Comment'
in his Thursday evening broadcast on the subject of lying, specifically
that committed by members of the Administration, up to and including President
Bush. His Thursday 'Special Comment' was among the longest he has produced
on his MSNBC show Countdown. A full transcript is available here.

"It is startling enough that such things could
be said out loud by any President at any time in this nation's history,"
Olbermann said. "Rhetorically, it is about an inch short of Mr. Bush
accusing Democratic leaders, Democrats, the majority of Americans who disagree
with his policies, of treason."

He concluded by addressing the President directly,
saying "You want to preserve one political party’s power. And
obviously you will sell this country out, to do it... [D]o not throw this
country's principles away because your lies have made it such that you can
no longer differentiate between the terrorists and the critics."
