    The reasoning for this firing just seems too convenient.
    It is likely that msnbc really was looking for ANY excuse to get rid of this clown. He does get the highest ratings on that network and thus presumably makes the most money for them – but I can’t help but think there is a hidden reason behind this.
    Maybe he actually did have a breakdown after the elections and this is a cover.
    Maybe the heads of the network do not like the overall tone and socialist direction this station has been going. We can only hope they would have the awareness to see that Fox is making a fortune by not being liberal and that if they hope to still make money in the future, another tact must be taken.
    Or maybe it’s just an awesome dream and I will wake up to find this blowhard back after he finds his meds.

    Don’t know if the brass over there can justify canning Keith because of his ratings, I think his are the best of all their opinion talking head shows…, which in itself, is a sad state of affairs. I hope they keep him, it just makes EVERYONE else in the world look like a better person. P.S. the peanut/goober analogy in the first post, way!

    I’d watch a peanut shaped comet any day of the week over Keith Uberlibs peanut sized brain.

    BTW… he is like freakin DONE. His ratings bit…. all they needed was a safe excuse to fire his ass, so they could cover their own asses legally. If some other network is stupid enough to hire him, it won’t be for a quarter of what he was making now….. I’d like to make a prediction. Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell or Chris Mathews will be next. The only drawback to loosing these scum bags off the air is that we can no longer slam the hell out of them ….LOL

    Who will be “Dan Rathered” Next???

    Somehow I do not think he will be fired. They will find some kind of loophole to keep him on. All this contoversey might be an attempt to improve their ratings. People may watch out of curiosty. I am 100% Fox News. I have no desire to watch any of the other nut-jobs that lie and try to brainwash America. I trust Fox to keep me informed and up to date. Honestly , for me I can’t hardly look at them without getting frustrated and saddened by the anti-American rhetoric that spews from their mouths.

    Face it, folks–Keith broke the rules by not clearing his campaign donations with his boss prior to making them, never made mention of said campaign donations when Grijalva was interviewed and never bother to tell his boss about the donations after the fact (his boss found out about these donations from an interview 0lbermann did for Politico, for crying out loud!). The only one Keith has to blame for his situation is Keith himself.

    See Keith–actions DO have consequences!

    Here is why the November 2 election turned out the way it did:

    1. An “unstimulated” economy. The original Mother of All Stimulus packages, $787 billion dollars, quickly grew to an astounding $865 billion. It wasn’t enough. Congress pumped out another $26 billion in “supplemental” stimulus in August. The results? Unemployment in the private sector remains at 9.6% – well above the eight percent Democrats promised, even as public sector workers who support Democrats were rewarded; our Democratically-controlled Congress has amassed more debt in the last four years than nearly the previous two hundred and thirty combined; the Keynesian economic model Democrats stand by is a colossal failure; the Summer of Recovery was a propaganda fiasco.

    2. The health care bill. The absolute epitome of ideological, public-be-damned arrogance. A horrendous compendium of bribes, exploding bureaucracy, runaway costs, written in secret and unread by those who passed it. It includes a mandate, likely un-Constitutional, forcing people to buy health insurance or pay a fine. The same administration which originally claimed the commerce clause of the Constitution made such a fine possible is now saying that the federal governments’s “power to tax” justifies it. Irrelevant. 60% of Americans want this monstrosity repealed, ASAP. Some have called this the worst piece of legislation ever written, let alone passed.

    3. The federal lawsuit against the state of Arizona. Again, it’s the arrogance, stupid. Despite all the hectoring from Democrats and the Obama administration about racist this, and xenophobic that, fair-minded Americans recognized four things: people have a right to protect their life and property, and if the federal government can‘t or won’t do it, they have a right to do it themselves; the idea that anyone opposing the “rights” of illegal aliens is a bigot is nonsense on stilts; the ruling class in Washington, D.C. is holding genuine border control hostage to “comprehensive reform;” the glaring double-standard of suing Arizona for violating federal immigration statues, even as the feds turn a blind eye to hundreds of “sanctuary cities” with illegal protection directives unquestionably in conflict with federal law.

    4. The demonization of the Tea Party movement. Take your pick: teabaggers, racists, angry white men, fringe elements, bigots, Astro-turfers, etc. etc. Democrats and the media have tried every one, and every one has been a miserable failure for one overwhelmingly simple reason: decent Americans know they’re decent, and getting insulted by Democrats running the country into the ground has only stiffened their resolve. Progressives want to demonize people who believe in smaller government, fiscal responsibility and a desire to return to Constitutional principles? Why not attack people who believe in guns, and religion too? Oh wait. The president already did that as well.

    5. A hopelessly compromised media. Air America tanked, CNN is tanking, and ABC, NBC and CBS news programs have been shedding viewers at historically unprecedented rates—even as Fox and the Wall Street Journal prosper. Americans don’t mind people in the media expressing their opinions, as long as they’re characterized as opinions, but they seethe when such opinions are portrayed as “hard news.“ They get even angrier when certain stories are ”omitted” by those same organizations, especially when Americans recognize such omissions are calculated to protect the progressive agenda. I wonder if it occurs to either Democrats or their media water-carriers that a majority Americans may savor whacking both groups in November. Depressed looks on the faces of Nancy Pelosi and Katie Couric? In theater circles, that’s known as a “two-fer.”

    6. The Ground Zero mosque. Yet another reminder of the contempt progressives and their media enablers have for ordinary Americans who had the “temerity” to allow their feelings to be known. Despite every attempt to characterize these Americans as Islamo-phobic bigots, the public wasn’t buying, again for one overwhelmingly simple reason: decent Americans once again demonstrated their decency by separating the legality of the project from the appropriateness of it.

    7. The complete disconnect between the First Family and ordinary Americans. The golfing, the soirees, and the high-priced vacations have created the perception that we are living through another “let them eat cake” moment in history. On Tuesday, the president called the public schools in Washington, D.C. a “‘struggling’ system that doesn’t measure up to the needs of first daughters, Sasha and Malia.” Those would be the same public schools Congressional Democrats tossed 3,300 low-income kids back into when they killed funding for vouchers that had freed those kids from D.C.’s educational ghetto. The First Lady is hectoring Americans to eat healthier. Perhaps more Americans would if they could afford to: the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated in their Producer Price Index that the price of food increased 2.4% for March 2010. That’s the biggest increase in almost 30 years.

    8. The war on terror. A politically correct contingency operation against unnamed insurgents with a specific draw-down date? Democrats once again prove that all the talk about Afghanistan being the “good war” was complete rubbish. They want out, and victory—along with the heroic efforts of our men and women in harm’s way—be damned. Once again: has America ever fought another war where they knew the exact location of the enemy, had the ability to inflict possibly irreparable damage on them—and decided to split the difference instead? If you answered “Vietnam,” another progressively-instigated catastrophe resulting in the deaths of fifty-eight thousand American soldiers and three million innocent Asians, go to the head of the class. And when is that civilian trial of the 9/11 perpetrators scheduled to begin?

    9. Czars and nationalization. The Obama administration and Congressional Democrats may bristle when Americans call them socialists, but the nationalization of banks, car and insurance companies, student loans and healthcare sure isn’t free-market capitalism. Neither is wiping out oil jobs in Louisiana with a government-mandated ban on offshore drilling—after the feds completely bungled their role in cleaning up the spill which engendered it. Unelected czars who answer to no one but the president, along with out-of-control government agencies such as the EPA have made it clear to many Americans that this administration often considers Congress a completely unnecessary component of governance, especially if they don‘t kowtow to the president’s agenda.

    10. “Unexceptional” America. Progressive contempt for the values and traditions which make this the greatest country on earth can no longer be disguised. An American president who “believe(s) in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism” has made it plain that this is not a great nation which needs tweaking, but a fundamentally flawed one needing a complete progressive make-over. Once one understands this basic premise, everything this administration and Democratically-controlled Congress does makes sense. All of it centers around the ridiculous premise that America owes the world an apology for any number of shortcomings, many of which can only be alleviated by government-mandated “social justice.” That would be the same social justice which demanded—and still demands—that Americans manifestly unqualified to own homes be given mortgages, regardless.

      Tea ****** patriot – just curious. What do you think you accomplish with your posts? Keith’s show was not news coverage (did you think it was – do you also watch Jon Stewart for your news?) Mainly he would bash the republicans and Fox News – there were very little facts behind his logic and many times he distorted reality to make it fit into his agenda. He was a commentator, not a news person and except for distorting reality, he had a right to bash whoever he wanted. The difference between someone who reports the news and comments on it is this: Bret Baier covers the news, his show covers the news, his election coverage covered the election. He does not give opinion – he asks questions but does not give commentary to the answers. Glenn Beck is a commentator, he gives his opinions. He may use the news but he does not report it. Now to the items on The Blaze, Keith’s suspension is news, how his network reports it is news. You may think there is too much coverage of this and that is understandable but sarcasm lacks on paper and is much better delivered with speech.
