Keith Olbermann: "Remind me again, who are the terrorists?"

MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 5 January 2009

OLBERMANN: "Each day it seems the lunatic fringe finds a new way to permit its adherents to view the rest of us as a little less than human - we don't count as much as they do, ordinary Americans don't matter. Newest example, hate-radio-host Neal Boortz yesterday: 'Obamacare will do more damage' he said, ' than a successful terrorist bombing of an airliner and kill more people as well.'

So, rather than count how many things are wrong with that statement, or how many times Neal Boortz must have been abused for him to wind up so dehumanized for him to say such a thing, let us answer it on his terms.

What would you do, sir, if terrorists were killing 45,000 people each year in this country? Well, the current heatlh care system, the insurance companies and those who support them, are doing just that.

Let's frame this in language even conservatives can understand. Those fighting health care reform, not those debating its shape or its nuance, people who demand the status quo. They are killing 45,000 Americans a year.

If they were killed all at once, or even a hundred at a time, Neal Boortz would be demanding martial law and government by the generals.

Instead, because they die individually of disease and not disaster, Neal Boortz, and those who ape him, in office and out, approve their deaths.

All 45,000 of them.

A year.

In America.

Remind me again, who are the terrorists?"
