Nicole Lamoureux on Tea Party’s “Let Him Die” controversy
CountDown with Keith Olbermann, Current TV
Keith and Nicole Lamoureux, the executive director of the National Association of Free Clinics, condemn the reaction from the audience at the GOP Tea Party debate to an exchange between moderator Wolf Blitzer and the radical libertarian candidate for the GOP nomination Texas Rep. Dr. Ron Paul. Blitzer asked Paul what should happen to a healthy 30-year-old without medical insurance who becomes seriously ill. Paul responded by saying, “That’s what freedom is all about — taking your own risks” while the Tea Party crowd chanted, “Let him die!”
KOS & KO. Countdown Online, Current TV
Keith Olbermann and DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas, who talk further about President Obama’s misguided approach to Libya. “Obama’s not listening to anyone’s advice on the issue,” Moulitsas tells Keith.
The breakout, according to Olbermann, will extend far beyond “Countdown.”
“We’re starting with this show, but we will be expanding,” he says. “More than likely, we will have a second prime-time show within a year, maybe sooner than that.”
Maybe Olbermann will find himself another Rachel Maddow, the liberal host who clicked with viewers on MSNBC after Olbermann brought her aboard for a companion show to his at that network.
Sure, nods Olbermann. “Or conceivably,” he says suggestively, “I might just find the SAME Rachel Maddow. You never know.”
vruz: to me, it’s a semi-official MSNBC brain drain.
