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

Republicans caused the debt by funding wars.

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."
