Keith Olbermann Calls for 1960‘s Style ’Hell-Bent’ Uprising Against Debt Deal

Because simply bashing the newly passed debt deal wouldn’t be enough, Current TV host Keith Olbermann is apparently calling for an actual uprising “hell-bent” on fighting Washington political forces.
Yes, during his closing “Special Comment” segment on Monday, Olbermann unleashed his latest rant, stating Republicans are to blame for creating the debt crisis by funding wars and accused the GOP of taking “political hostages. ” He also stated that short of a protest movement, the “tide” that brought about the debt deal in the first place will “crush us, because those who created it are organized and unified and hell-bent. And the only response is to be organized and unified and hell-bent in return.”
“Where is the outrage to come from?” Olbermann asked.
“From you,” he answered, not skipping a beat. Olbermann then basked in a nostalgic daydream about the 1960‘s and 1970’s, and in a dramatic display urged the audience that they “must find again the energy and the purpose of the 1960‘s and early 1970’s and we must protest this deal and all the goddamn deals to come, in the streets.”
The Current host, who believes “our government has now given up the concept of right and wrong,“ stated that those who defend the debt deal have ”called it a credit to a pragmatic president who wins some sort of political ‘points’ because, having stood for almost nothing here, he gave away almost nothing for which he stood.”

I got my CCW permit today, and I’m spending the evening oiling it up.
I’m hand loading the magazines (the primary and two spares) with 45 rounds of Winchester 9mm SilverTip hollow points. (145 grain, 1280 feet per second werewolf killers!)
My shoulder holster fits nicely under my arm, and I think I’ll wear my sport coat over it.
I don’t have to work tomorrow because thanks to the Democrats job killing policies, my job went a year ago.
Anyway I’m going to be out on the street tomorrow, and I thought how interesting it would be to see you in the crowds but then I realized since the two of us are loners, we probably wouldn’t be in the mix when the fights break out.
We probably both like to watch from the shadows.
I get so excited knowing that I could be in that elevator with you, or behind you at the bank, or just standing there on the sidewalk.
Who knows, I might get to save your life tomorrow.

Posted on August 4, 2011 at 12:52pmThe Democratic Party has been the party of treason since 1861 when the first Republican president was elected (Abraham Lincoln ) they literally went to war against the nation. When they lost they they enacted Jim Crow laws ,later they embraced socialism/marxism ,when that collapsed they have now embraced the cause of the Islamic jihadist to the point of refusing to call jihadist terrorists terrorist. The Democrat party the party of treason since 1861,the more time change the more some things stay the same.

I like others have asked the same question as to why Americans are so complacent? The uprising Olberdou… is asking for is one of violence thats not what we want but to take a page from the 60′s and make a real statement about the disgust with this govt YES!
I posed the question a while ago following the Iranian uprising, “America Whats Your Problem” http://www.savingtherepublic.com/Amerika.html, that this POTUS never supported. ( B/c it was the ppl rising up against the radical regime, he doesnt go that way he only supports regime rising up!) The complacency in America with the “someone else will do something” attitude is sickening. The same American who complain but do nothing do not realize The Lone Ranger, Jedi Knights or Jack Bauer isnt coming to the rescue. Look in the mirror b/c that person staring back at you is the only one who can do something… that someone you are waiting for is you.
I am concerned with several on the left calling for an uprising will only empower the wrong people. As we have seen in other countries the unrest gets hijacked by radicals. I truly fear this will happen here its only a matter of time and worst off I think a major TEA Party protest will be hijacked and blamed. The narrative is already in play calling them jihadists, terrorists, suicide bombers etc all they need is an event to make it stick!
