Keith Olbermann speaks out with scathing honesty and courage

Last night on his show, Keith Olbermann devoted a nearly ten-minute "Special Comment" to Hillary Clinton and recent events surrounding her campaign. It was courageous, bold, and honest. I feel like it needed to be said. It's unfortunate that Olbermann is the only one on TV with the guts and the integrity to say it. But at least we have Olbermann and his Murrow-like approach and honesty. Watch this, it's fantastic:



It's sad and frustrating to see that race is becoming a major issue in the Democratic contest, and even more sad to see that a lot of it is coming from one of the nominees themselves. As Olbermann points out, even if it's untrue, there is a growing perception that Clinton is using race and religion to "knee-cap" Obama and his campaign. In the political party supposedly committed to racial equality and religious freedom, this is sad to see.
