The Exception That Proves Diddly
Keith Olbermann, folks, gingerly and respectfully criticizes President Obama once or twice and this, THIS, is somehow proof that the numb-nuts ISN'T a partisan hack? And what is he criticizing Obama for? He's criticizing him for not going aggressively enough after the Bush administration, prosecuting them for war crimes, etc.. I don't know, to me, all that that frigging shows about Olbermann is that his hatred for Bush, Cheney, etc. supersedes (ever so slightly) his adoration for Obama.....................................................................P.S. This is not to say that we shouldn't be more aggressively pursuing an investigation of Bush, the C.I.A., etc.. At least from what I can gather, the torture/borderline torture allegedly used was used on more than just the three guys originally mentioned (not that torturing "just" three guys is necessarily O.K., mind you). And I also heard that there were far more innocent people held at Guantanamo than originally thought. If in fact one or both of these facts is true, then, yes, proceed. And, yes, criticize Obama for not proceeding. But don't expect to be called a nonpartisan for doing so - not after all the partisan crap you engaged in prior.

It's partisan to oppose crime?
Olbermann had pretty much boxed himself into a corner on this one. He had no choice but to criticize Obama. True nonpartisanship manifests in a far less coercive manner.
It's partisan to oppose crime?
Can't you directly answer a question?
Gee, as a screaming lib you can't see nuance?
No, it's not partisan. I just don't think that this one point proves that Olbermann ISN'T partisan.
