Announcing the Standing Up to MSNBC Campaign

Keith Olbermann has gone too far. It's one thing to make fun of political leaders. It's often noble, or at least right, to criticize them. But making up lies about army officers, trashing those who risked their lives for our country

Without the sacrifices of those who placed their lives on the line, fools like Olbermann would find themselves persecuted. And as true blowhards, you can be sure that they would do nothing about it. Yet Olbermann has the unmitigated gall to continue to spew his divisive filth at individuals who have done nothing other than serve this country well.

It is the duty of decent people to oppose blatant untrue and personal attacks on current and past members of the armed forces whose sole sin against Olbermann was to express an opinion he disagreed with, never mind that it was they who risked their lives for the right to express their views.

After the election, should MSNBC continue to air these tasteless attacks that do nothing other than to infuse divisiveness and lower morale, we will continue to expose his, we will continue to call Olbermann to the carpet each time he launches into one of his all to often vicious attacks on a member of our military.

Until the election, every month we will choose one candidate to support, preferably a candidate who has been unfairly trashed by Olbermann.

Our purpose is clear. To send a message that the obscene rants, attacks on our veterans, divisiveness and hatemongering that Olbermann has come to symbolize will not be tolerated and that the silent majority will react as is proper and as is necessary.

I have never before launched a concerted effort against anyone. In fact, I'd much rather spend my time on other more positive activities. But Olbermann's despicable and outrageous attacks on individual veterans has gone to far, as has his divisiveness and attacks on all who don't conform to his views.

With this in mind, I urge you to send a clear message to Olberman: ACTIVELY SUPPORT THE CANDIDATES THAT HE DISPARAGES THE MOST.

THIS MONTH'S CANDIDATE

This month's candidate embodies the reason for this effort.

Lt. Col. Allen West, candidate for Congress in FL-22, is a true war hero. When he refused to conduct an interview with al-Jazeera, Olbermann pounced on him and designated him as the "Worst Person in World." This coming from a loud mouthed jerk who would be shut down in any other country. Are we supposed to just sit back and watch while he trashes this noble soldier and hero?

Olbermann's actions were disgraceful and we have a moral obligation to support this fine candidate.
