That was beautiful and brilliant and made me bawl.

Bringing on the tears this morning....
I just watched "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" on sunday and all the issues of illegal "mixed race" marriage that came up in that film kept bringing to mind prop 8 and how dehumanizing it is to make it illegal for people to marry.

I couldn't stop crying during that last night...

You made me cry,Sir. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this

rm.

Tears are streaming down my face right now.

That was... wow-- powerful doesn't even begin to cover it.

Thank you Keith Olbermann- you're so getting a statue.

Wow. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Keith Olbermann.

I'm glad I'm at home because I hate to cry in public.

I wonder if Olbermann gets just how useful his voice is on this -- that level of emotion from such an incredibly red-meat eating manly man looking guy is just hugely useful.

Meanwhile, how are you (sorry I didn't respond to you last email -- I saw you before I got it, so it seemed moot!)

I'll send you an email about it.

I might join you for the music thing tonight, haven't made up my mind yet.

*nod* Crying in public though!

Well, crying in public around strangers is different than crying in front of coworkers. Besides, I might an additionally emotional release tonight.

Crying in front of co-workers--glad my cube is in the back. None of them understand (okay, one might) how much this means--now--to me.

Thank you for this. Just...thank you.

Whew.

WOW.

Keith=my hero
You=thank you so much for posting this.

I watched this last night and almost lost it in front of my brother. Olbermann is such a beautiful speaker and it's so great to hear somebody finally say this. To finally bring up the common sense and basic human emotion people try to leave out of these issues.

I could have held it together if he didn't keep having that choke in his voice.

thank you.

That man and the fact that a mainstream network sees fit to give him a show, are sometimes some of the only glimmers of hope that I see in otherwise grey world.

Intelligent, eloquent, painfully true.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I invariably find Keith Olbermann interesting and this was a good piece. Thank you.

What a clear, emotional and stirring orator. If only the fundies in California could believe this way.

I thought it was really a beautiful statement. I was very proud of him, and the fact that I contribute to his show. I do feel he was a little overwrought in his delivery, but if that's what was needed to get through to those voters, then I wholeheartedly approve.

The overwroughtness continues to interest me. Where does that come from if, as he puts it, you don't have a horse in the race? I kept thinking maybe he got glutened, which is sort of the bizarreo lens having celiac gives me. Regardless, I do think, that for many straight Americans, even folks who watch his show there's real value in seeing that level of emotion on the issue from someone who reads as such a manly man.
