Last time I checked, Timothy McVey was not part of a huge kamikaze Terrorist group, with resources, leaders, and members all over the world. He was one single psycho (even if he was working for a "cause").

Still doesn't changet he fact that Clinton was swift yet catious with his actions, while Bush engaged us in a war we can't win.
Also, Terry Nichols? and the white supremecist militia movement? Did you even pay attention in 1995?

Keith Olbermann on "a textbook definition of cowardice" and the right-wing brouhaha over Clinton's Fox News appearance:

Don't just read the transcript - watch the video.

Ummm, Timothy McVeigh was a psycho, but he didn't exactly act alone.
I was just a teenager when that happened--but damn, I remember hearing about Terry Nichols, and there was at least one other person who spent some time in jail for not being exactly forthright with the information that he had.

The fact is, attempting to compare capturing 2 guys to overtaking a worldwide terrorist network is simply and utterly stupid. Speaking of Clinton's response, how'd he do on USS Cole? Oh nothing? Oh ok.
As for Keith Olbermann, he's an unabashed liberal, not at all a legitimate journalist. Hell, ESPN wouldn't even take him.

Yes, he certainly seems that way. Just as the president of, and many of the people on, FOX are unabashed conservatives.
In many cases, we aren't talking about journalists anymore, but rather personalities.
On both sides of the video aisle.

You'll get no debate from me that Fox is conservative. However, I think they're more inline with the everyday personalities on CNN or MSNBC, while Olbermann is FAR LEFT. At least Bill O concedes ground from time to time and criticizes his own party...

Yes, I thank God all the time that we have radical liberals posing as unbiased journalists...I guess its only a bad thing if you prefer for the media to report the news, rather than persuade the general public.

Here's a quote I find curious from a "journalistic" standpoint from a story on the Fox News webpage in a story on Senator Clinton defending her husband:
"In the interview on "FOX News Sunday," which got its best ratings in nearly three years, Clinton accused Wallace of a "conservative hit job..."
Are any of the cable "News" networks really "journalistic?"
