In this clip from Thursday’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” Rolling Stone’s provocateur du jour, Matt Taibbi, weighs in on a decision by the Montana Supreme Court that could deal a substantial blow to the notorious Citizens United SCOTUS ruling of 2010, which represents at least one issue around which some conservatives and progressives can rally for change.

I don’t know anything about you. And as for rape—-for any reason it is still evil and wrong. But I guess I’m with them on 9/11/01. But putting the two together is most unfair.

Ask Olbermann why the change. I guess like not wearing the tie, he doesn’t want any distractions to the truth. Much as it may grind you about him an I not being a Truthers.

Who is going to compete with that?

How about the American people. David Koch has money, we have people. Now,
you tell me, which is more useful for getting out the vote? (Remember, the Tea
Party was my idea. I do know how to motivate folks to act.)

The reason the Republicans did so well in 2010 was because their Trojan Horse
Wall Street Republican President Obama had so throughly demoralized the
liberals who elected him, that they all stayed home in protest. It was easy.

This idea was encouraged daily by the ‘Green’ party blogger (Republican troll
Mark McKinnon) telling everyone not to bother voting. It was clever, well
coordinated, I eventually saw right through it and it worked.

They play people like a violin, I can call it. I think eventually people will get tired
of being played and then everyone will see something new emerge that looks like
the occupy movement. Don’t expect it to go away either, it is not about people
protesting in parks, it is about getting our government to respect our rights.

I petitioned my Government for a redress of my grievances and instead of having
it set right, my government organized a torture program for me.

They wanted to drive me insane and have me incarcerated. I was brutally raped to bring this about, it was a huge civic and media conspiracy to deprive me of my human rights.

And I live blogged the whole experience. I think they find it interesting reading in
other countries (Green religion, green spring, any connection? Hmm).

Anyway, I have an answer to your question, Rocky Anderson.

There is no way I would EVER vote for any of the Republicans or Obama again.
Nope, I’m supporting something I can believe in, a new party called Justice. I
already changed my registration to it and put a home made sign on my car.

I’m aslo very curious as to why Current doesn’t give Rocky and the Justice Party
any attention. I would think it would be big news. Does Al Gore have something
personal against him? How about Olbermann?

And what is with the black background? Is Keith in morning about how wrong he
is regarding 9/11? I’m still waiting to see an apology from him. Here are the facts
on the issue,

http://www.consensus911.org/

As a Truther who really paid for it (brutally raped), I believe I deserve his apology.
Perhaps his lawyers have advised him to not comment any further on his
involvement in this major criminal cover up. I see Matt agrees with the cover up,

I’m trying to contain my fury, I DESERVE an apology from these jokers. Smearing
the truth is not funny. People get hurt, people get killed. And what does Keith
get?

Paid.
