Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' - 08/16/10

From Wake Up 1776



(Editor's Note: I would only like to add that while living in Austria a few years ago I remember some young Austrians characterizing how they addressed their parents and grandparents about the Nazi times as asking the question "How could you be so stupid?" No, we aren't the Nazis. We haven't lived through a defeat in a world war and a complete collapse of our economy and currency yet either. One people will never exactly copy another either. But what we are without doubt is a country of childish, ignorant, backwards, anti-intellectual, spoiled and misinformed people who want very bad to believe we are God's greatest gift to humanity. We have, like the Germans and Austrians 70 years ago, been lied to about many events that surround us, and through that deception, have engendered a dangerous hate and disregard for principle, rationality and honesty. Our corrupt leadership in many ways is what such a people deserve. If anyone cares about the future, they need to smarten up. -George)
