Keith Olbermann on California Prop 8

It's probably no surprise to most that I like Keith Olbermann. At a time when I was frustrated and outraged over what the George W. Bush administration was doing, he gave voice to those emotions.

As I've grown older, I've learned that homosexuals are just people who, like me, are pursuing their own happiness in this world. Their "agenda", if you want to call it that, is not about taking anything away from me; they just want to be treated as any other citizen would be treated. So, when I heard Keith Olbermann's Special Comment on MSNBC's Countdown tonight, I knew that Keith had once again hit at the heart of the matter:



Isn't it time that we treated others as we would like others to treat us and isn't this most important when the others are not like us?

I was impressed by Keith's intensity and his message. With a new four year contract he has a mandate to do his thing. But with Bush soon to be gone, will there be worthy targets for his trademark fury? Mormon bigots have answered that question with a definitive yes!
